Description

Lithium-rich manganese oxide positive electrode material and preparation method and application thereof, positive electrode sheet and application thereof Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lithium-ion batteries, and in particular to a lithium-rich manganese oxide positive electrode material and a preparation method and application thereof, a positive electrode sheet and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, new energy vehicles, as a national strategic emerging industry to cope with environmental pollution and energy crisis, have shown a good situation of vigorous development. Lithium-ion batteries, as a new energy carrier with excellent comprehensive performance, are widely used in electric vehicles, energy storage power stations, communications and digital electronic products and other markets.

[0003] In lithium-ion batteries, the positive electrode is the core key material of lithium-ion batteries and directly determines the technical performance level of the battery. Among the traditional lithium-ion positive electrode materials, LiCoO2 is expensive and is mainly used in 3C digital electronic products; multi-element LiNi 1-x-y Co x Mn y O2 and LiNi 1-x-y Co x Al y O2 has significantly improved cycle performance due to the synergistic effect between elements and is widely used in new energy power batteries, but its energy density can no longer meet people's demand for long-range driving. LiFePO4 has the advantages of low price, high safety performance and long cycle life, and is mainly used in power batteries and energy storage fields, but its specific capacity is low and close to the theoretical value, making it difficult to achieve a breakthrough. LiMn2O4 is cheap, but is prone to manganese dissolution and Jahn-Teller effect, resulting in poor high-temperature cycle performance. It is mainly used in two-wheeled vehicles and power tools. Layered lithium-rich manganese-based materials (LMR) are expected to become the cathode materials for the next generation of lithium-ion batteries due to their high specific capacity and low cost. However, the severe voltage decay during cycling, poor rate performance, low density, and unstable electrolyte at high voltage have seriously hindered their commercialization.

[0004] Therefore, developing new LMR materials with special microstructures and enhancing the solid solution effect of the two phases of LMR materials are of great significance for achieving long cycle life, high specific capacity, and high rate performance of batteries.

[0056] 1.1≤S (2) / S (1) ≤1.8.

[0057] In the present invention, when the diffraction peak P (2) Peak area S (2) With diffraction peak P (1) Peak area S (1) When the ratio satisfies the above range, the material has better two-phase solid solubility and two-phase content ratio, and at the same time has better crystallinity, thus showing good electrochemical properties.

[0106] (6) Electrochemical performance test:

[0107] The electrochemical performance of the prepared lithium-rich manganese oxide cathode material was tested on 2025-type button batteries using the Xinwei battery testing system. Specifically:

[0108] 1) The preparation process of 2025 button battery is as follows:

[0109] Preparation of pole pieces: The lithium-rich manganese oxide positive electrode material, conductive agent carbon black, binder polyvinylidene fluoride are mixed thoroughly with an appropriate amount of N-methylpyrrolidone in a mass ratio of 95:3:2 to form a uniform slurry, which is then coated on aluminum foil, dried at 120°C, rolled, and punched to form a positive electrode piece with a diameter of 11 mm.

[0110] Assemble the battery: the negative electrode uses a Li metal sheet with a diameter of 17 mm and a thickness of 1 mm; the separator uses a polyethylene porous membrane with a thickness of 25 μm; the electrolyte uses an equal mixture of 1 mol / L LiPF6, ethylene carbonate (EC) and diethyl carbonate (DEC).

[0111] The positive electrode sheet, separator, negative electrode sheet and electrolyte were assembled into a 2025 button cell in an Ar glove box with a water and oxygen content of less than 5 ppm. The cell at this point was considered an unactivated cell.

[0112] 2) Electrochemical performance test:

[0113] The button cell test conditions are as follows: After making the button cell, let it sit for 2 hours. After the open-circuit voltage stabilizes, it is charged to a cutoff voltage of 4.6V at a current density of 0.1C at the positive electrode. Then, it is charged at a constant voltage of 0.02C for 30 minutes, and then discharged to a cutoff voltage of 2V at the same current density. This process is repeated once, and the battery at this point is considered an activated battery. Using the activated battery, charge and discharge tests are conducted in the voltage range of 2-4.6V, at 25°C, in the charge and discharge range of 2-4.6V, and at 0.1C to evaluate the charge and discharge capacity of the material. Using the activated battery, charge and discharge tests are conducted at 0.1C, 0.2C, 0.33C, 0.5C, and 1C, and the ratio of 1C capacity to 0.1C capacity is used to evaluate the material's rate performance. The material's cyclic performance is evaluated by 80 charge and discharge cycles at 1C in the range of 2-4.6V.
