In related technologies, lithium iron manganese phosphate as a positive electrode material for batteries is still in the early stages of industrialization.

[0018] Beneficial effects of this application
[0019] The beneficial effects of this application are:
[0020] (1) The present application dopes a metal element M into the core material of lithium manganese iron phosphate to improve the cycle performance of the lithium manganese iron phosphate material, and coats the outer surface of the core material of the lithium manganese iron phosphate with a carbon coating layer containing graphitized carbon, thereby improving the specific energy of the lithium manganese iron phosphate material through the graphitized carbon;
[0021] (2) The specific energy of the battery can be improved by using graphitized carbon materials in the carbon coating. When the graphitized carbon contained in the carbon coating is higher, the lithium ion interface diffusion is related, and thus the rate performance of the battery is better, the specific capacity is higher, and thus the specific energy is higher; however, the faster the lithium ion interface diffusion, the worse the capacity retention rate of the battery will be, which may lead to the worse cycle retention rate of the battery. Therefore, the cycle performance of the battery can be improved by doping the metal element M in the core material of the lithium manganese iron phosphate, thereby synergistically improving the technical problems of low specific energy and poor cycle performance of lithium manganese iron phosphate by doping with metal elements and using a carbon coating containing graphitized carbon.

In addition, any methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be applied to this application. The preferred embodiments and materials described herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not limit the scope of this application.
[0023] It should be noted that the order of description of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments. The various embodiments of the present application may be presented in the form of a range; it should be understood that the description in the form of a range is merely for convenience and brevity and should not be understood as a rigid limitation on the scope of the present application; therefore, the range description should be considered to have specifically disclosed all possible sub-ranges and single numerical values within the range. For example, the range description from 1 to 6 should be considered to have specifically disclosed sub-ranges, such as from 1 to 3, from 1 to 4, from 1 to 5, from 2 to 4, from 2 to 6, from 3 to 6, etc., as well as single numbers within the range, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, regardless of the range. In addition, whenever a numerical range is indicated herein, it is meant to include any cited number (fractional or integer) within the indicated range.
[0024] In the description of this application, the term "including" means "including but not limited to".
[0025] The terms "multiple", "multiple times" or similar expressions refer to two (times) or more than two (times), for example, it can be two (times), three (times), four (times), five (times), six (times), etc.
[0026] The selection scope of the term "and / or" includes any one of two or more related listed items, and also includes any and all combinations of the related listed items, and the said any and all combinations include any two related listed items, any more related listed items, or the combination of all related listed items. For example, "A and / or B" includes three parallel solutions of A, B and A+B. For another example, the technical solution of "A, and / or, B, and / or, C, and / or, D" includes any one of A, B, C, and D (that is, the technical solution connected by "logical OR"), and also includes any and all combinations of A, B, C, and D, that is, the combination of any two or any three of A, B, C, and D, and also includes the four-item combination of A, B, C, and D (that is, the technical solution connected by "logical AND").
[0027] In the first aspect, the present application provides a lithium iron manganese phosphate material, which includes a doped lithium iron manganese phosphate core and a carbon coating layer formed on the surface of the doped lithium iron manganese phosphate core. The chemical formula of the doped lithium iron manganese phosphate is Li a Mn b Fe c M d PO4, wherein the doping metal M includes one, two or more elements selected from magnesium, calcium, strontium, cobalt, titanium, zirconium, molybdenum, vanadium, niobium, nickel, scandium, chromium, copper, zinc, beryllium, lanthanum and aluminum.
[0028] The carbon source used to form the carbon coating layer includes an organic carbon source. Suitable organic carbon sources include at least one of glucose, xylitol, PEG (polyethylene glycol), sucrose, lactose, and citric acid polyacrylamide.
[0029] The above-mentioned carbon coating layer includes a certain amount of graphitized carbon. The graphitization of the carbon source refers to the non-graphite carbon being heated to a temperature above its graphitization temperature in a high temperature environment, a protective medium or isolated from air. Due to physical changes, the hexagonal carbon atom plane network layer stacking structure is improved and developed, and transformed into graphite carbon with a three-dimensional regular and ordered structure of graphite. The graphitization of the carbon source can improve the volume density, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance and mechanical processing performance of the material. In this application, the organic carbon source will form a certain degree of graphitization order after high-temperature calcination and carbonization. It is understandable that due to the organic carbon The graphitization temperature of the source is usually relatively high. Therefore, the organic carbon source in the present application can also form a certain degree of graphitization order after high-temperature sintering in a protective medium in a high-temperature environment lower than its graphitization temperature. The degree of graphitization of the organic carbon source is related to the properties of the organic carbon source itself, as well as the provided roasting temperature and roasting time. The closer the graphitization temperature of the organic carbon source is to the provided sintering temperature and the longer the roasting time is, the higher the graphitization degree of the organic carbon source is. The graphitized carbon contained in the above-mentioned carbon coating layer of the present application is not completely graphitized carbon, but carbon that forms a certain graphitized three-dimensional regular structure.
[0030] Furthermore, when the carbon source is calcined at different calcination temperatures, the graphitized carbon formed by the carbon source will have different graphitization degrees. Different calcination temperatures and holding times are controlled according to different carbon sources, thereby controlling the mass percentage content of the graphitized carbon.
[0031] Preferably, in some embodiments of the present application, the content of graphitized carbon accounts for 0.48% to 1.02% by mass of the lithium manganese iron phosphate active material, wherein the calculation formula for the content of graphitized carbon is:
[0032] Graphitized carbon content = (graphitization degree * weight of carbon source) / weight of lithium manganese iron phosphate active material
[0033] It is understandable that the content of graphitized carbon in the doped lithium manganese iron phosphate material can be any value between 0.48% and 1.02%, such as 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1.0%, or the content of graphitized carbon in the lithium manganese iron phosphate material can be any range between 0.48% and 1.02%, such as 0.48% to 0.8%, 0.48% to 0.9%, 0.6% to 0.9%, 0.6% to 1.0%.
[0034] By adding a certain amount of graphitized carbon to the carbon coating layer of the lithium manganese iron phosphate material, it is beneficial to increase the charge and discharge specific energy of the positive electrode material. Since the interior of the carbon coating layer contains a certain amount of graphitized carbon, the graphitized carbon has a regularly ordered three-dimensional structure. Because it is beneficial for lithium ions to diffuse inside it, the higher the content of graphitized carbon in the carbon coating layer, the faster the diffusion rate of lithium ions, and thus the better the rate performance of the lithium manganese iron phosphate active material, the higher the gram capacity, and thus the higher the specific energy; however, if the diffusion rate of lithium ions in the lithium manganese iron phosphate active material is too fast, the capacity retention rate of the lithium manganese iron phosphate active material will be reduced, and the cycle performance of the lithium manganese iron phosphate active material will deteriorate.
[0035] Preferably, in some embodiments of the present application, in the lithium manganese iron phosphate material, the mass percentage of the carbon coating layer is in the range of 0.5%-3%, wherein the mass percentage of the carbon coating layer can be any value between 0.5%-3%, for example, 0.8%, 1%, 1.2%, 1.5%, 1.7%, 2%, 2.2%, 2.5%, 2.8%, or the content of the carbon coating layer can be any range between 0.5% and 3%, for example, 0.5% to 1.5%, 0.5% to 2%, 1% to 3%, 2% to 3%.
[0036] The lithium manganese iron phosphate material is configured as a multi-metal doped lithium manganese iron phosphate material. The lithium manganese iron phosphate has the same olivine structure as lithium iron phosphate, wherein PO4 has a stable tetrahedral structure. In the process of fully charging the battery, the tetrahedral structure of PO4 is used as a structural support, so that the lithium manganese iron phosphate material has excellent thermodynamic and kinetic stability. Adding manganese material to lithium iron phosphate can increase the voltage platform of the positive electrode material, wherein the voltage platform of the lithium manganese iron phosphate material is 4.1V, and the voltage platform of the lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material is 3.4V, thereby effectively improving the energy density of the battery. However, with the increase of manganese element, the conductivity and electrochemical activity of the lithium manganese iron phosphate material decrease. The lithium manganese iron phosphate material provided in this application includes at least one doping metal element M, wherein the doping element shown in M is introduced to replace the Fe metal site in the LiMnFePO4 crystal, thereby improving the lithium ion diffusion channel and thus improving the conductivity of the positive electrode material, or doping the metal element M and oxygen to form a more stable lattice framework, thereby enhancing the stability of the structure, improving the rate performance and cycle stability of the material, and at the same time improving the energy density.
[0037] Preferably, in some embodiments of the present application, M includes at least one element selected from magnesium, calcium, strontium, cobalt, titanium, zirconium, molybdenum, vanadium, niobium, nickel, scandium, chromium, copper, zinc, beryllium, lanthanum, and aluminum. It is understood that M may include one metal element, two metal elements, or three metal elements, and in a preferred embodiment, among the metal elements included in M, the phosphates of some of the metal elements have an olivine structure. For example, when M is nickel or cobalt, or when M is nickel and cobalt, the phosphate of M element and manganese phosphate or iron phosphate are all configured to have an olivine structure, thereby forming a multi-element olivine-based positive electrode material. The charge-discharge curve and cycle performance curve of the multi-element olivine-based positive electrode material can be regarded as the linear superposition of the charge-discharge curve and cycle performance curve of the olivine structure formed by the phosphate of each metal element, thereby effectively improving the cycle performance of the positive electrode material.
[0038] In the doped lithium manganese iron phosphate material, oxygen atoms form a hexagonal close-packed lattice, the tetrahedral voids in the lattice are occupied by phosphoric acid and anions, and the octahedral holes in the lattice are occupied by lithium ions, iron, manganese and M elements, and the voids occupied by lithium ions form continuous channels in the entire lattice. Therefore, the ratio of the lithium content to the doping metal element M, and the ratio of the doping element M to the phosphorus content are all related to the number of holes in the lattice structure formed by the positive electrode material. The higher the ratio of the lithium content to the doping metal element content, the higher the gram capacity of the positive electrode material, but the alkalinity of the material is enhanced and the side reactions increase. The higher the ratio of the doping metal element M to the phosphorus content, the lower the gram capacity of the positive electrode material and the lower the specific energy, but it is beneficial to improve the cycle performance of the positive electrode material.
[0039] In a preferred embodiment, considering the effects of various elements in the doped lithium manganese iron phosphate material, the inventors found that Li a Mn b Fe c M d When the molar ratio range of each element in PO4 meets the following conditions, it is beneficial to balance the specific energy and cycle performance of lithium manganese iron phosphate materials, among which 0.98≤a≤1.10, 0.10≤b≤0.68, 0.20≤c≤0.70, 0.01≤d≤0.12, and 0.98≤a / (b+c+d)≤1.03.
[0040] In alternative embodiments, Li a Mn b Fe c M dThe molar ratio range of each element in PO4 can also be 0.98≤a≤1.05, 0.10≤b≤0.68, 0.20≤c≤0.70, 0.005≤d≤0.12, and 0.98≤a / (b+c+d)≤1.03.
[0041] Furthermore, the molar ratio range of the lithium element can be any range from 0.98 to 1.10, the molar ratio range of the manganese element can be any range from 0.10 to 0.68, the molar ratio range of the iron element can be any range from 0.20 to 0.70, and the molar ratio range of the doping metal M can be any range from 0.005 to 0.12, which are not listed one by one in the embodiments of the present application.
[0042] The ratio of a / (b+c+d) can be any value between 0.98 and 1.03, such as 0.99, 1.0, 1.01, and 1.02, or the ratio of a / (b+c+d) can be any range between 0.98 and 1.03, such as 0.98 to 1.02, or 0.99 to 1.01.
[0043] In a further preferred embodiment, in Li a Mn b Fe c M d In PO4, the molar content of iron element is less than the molar content of manganese element, wherein appropriately increasing the molar content of manganese element relative to the molar content of iron element is beneficial to increasing the energy density of lithium manganese iron phosphate material.

[0056] When glucose is included in the carbon source, the carbonization temperature of glucose is 300°C, and the graphitization temperature of glucose is not lower than 800°C.
