[0002] The manganese oxide obtained by acid leaching spinel lithium manganese oxide (LMO) to remove lithium is called a "lithium ion sieve." Due to its highly selective adsorption of lithium in solution, lithium ion sieve has become the most studied and best-performing inorganic lithium ion adsorbent and is beginning to be used in the extraction of lithium from salt lakes.

[0003] The existing spinel-type lithium manganese oxide has two disadvantages when used as a lithium ion sieve precursor for the preparation of lithium ion sieve applications: (1) the spinel-type lithium manganese oxide exists in the form of powder; it is difficult to use it directly in industrial applications because a large amount of powder adsorbent is not easy to handle in aqueous solution, including Li + The recovery problem after adsorption requires the spinel lithium manganese oxide to be granulated, film-formed, foamed, electrospun, coated on electrodes, etc. for molding; (2) Mn in the spinel lithium manganese oxide 3+ Due to its special 3d orbital electron configuration (t 2g 3 -e g 1 ), which will cause the Jahn-Teller effect during use, resulting in severe distortion of the octahedral MnO6 structure, making manganese easy to dissolve, and thus causing the prepared lithium ion sieve to be + The stability and lithium extraction efficiency during the extraction / intercalation process are reduced. What is more serious is that the large amount of manganese dissolved in water will cause serious water pollution during industrial production.

Therefore, it is further coated and fixed by in-situ polymerization of PPy to obtain a macroscopically formed mesoporous lithium ion sieve precursor.

[0042] Al doping is used to increase the degree of lattice disorder, inhibit the Jahn-Teller effect of spinel, improve the structural stability during Li+ insertion / extraction, and thus improve the cycle stability performance; PPy in-situ polymerization coating is used to treat the surface of lithium manganese oxide lithium ion sieve, isolate and protect it without affecting the lithium ion insertion and extraction process, reduce manganese dissolution loss, and improve cycle performance. At the same time, Al 3+ Because the Al-O bond energy formed by its combination with O is greater than the Mn-O bond energy and the ionic radius is similar to that of Mn 3+ close, and have the same valence, so Al 3+ Can be doped into lithium manganate crystals and partially replace Mn 3+ , so that the Mn in lithium manganate3+ The content of manganese decreases, thereby inhibiting Jahn-Teller distortion and reducing manganese dissolution loss.

[0043] Compared to the traditional sol-gel method, the present invention forms an aerogel by adding a polymer as a skeleton material and combining it with freeze-drying. This allows the gel to retain a three-dimensional skeleton structure after sintering, making the LAMO crystals more dispersible and conducive to the next step of molding. On the other hand, the use of PPy with good conductive properties to coat the LAMO material gives the final lithium ion sieve precursor the following comprehensive advantages: (1) no granulation, film formation, foaming, etc. are required to form the ion sieve; (2) the dissolution loss of Mn is reduced, achieving a two-pronged effect.

[0074] Comparative Example 1:

[0075] A method for preparing a lithium ion sieve precursor differs from Example 1 only in that thermal drying is used instead of freeze drying in step (3), that is, the aged gel is dried in an oven at 100°C to constant weight to obtain LAMO powder (without a three-dimensional skeleton structure).

After PPy impregnation and encapsulation, the three-dimensional skeleton structure can be further strengthened, and the pores of the material are reduced.

[0089] (2) An X-ray powder diffractometer (XRD, Rigaku D / max-2600PC, Japan) was used to study the crystal phase and crystal structure of the material. Cu Kα radiation was used for the test, with a wavelength λ of 0.154056 nm, a voltage of 40 kV, a current of 40 mA, and a scanning range 2θ of 10-80°. The XRD test results were analyzed using Jade 6 software, where FIG4 is an XRD pattern of the LAMO material prepared in Example 1 of the present disclosure. The XRD pattern in FIG4 shows that the product is lithium manganate spinel.

[0090] (3) Testing the adsorption performance of lithium ion sieve:

[0091] ① Quantitatively weigh the lithium ion sieve precursors prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-3, and acid-wash them with 0.25 mol / L HCl at a solid-liquid ratio of 1 g: 100 mL at room temperature for 24 h. The supernatant was taken out with a pipette, and the metal cation concentration in the solution was measured using ICP-OES. The manganese dissolution rate (DE) after acid washing was then calculated. Mn ) to explore its desorption performance, and the lithium ion sieve, i.e., the desorbed ion sieve, was obtained by vacuum filtration, washing with deionized water until neutral, and drying in an oven.

[0092] C1 (mg / L) is the detected concentration of manganese ions, V1 (L) is the volume of the solution, and m (g) is the mass of the lithium ion sieve precursor.

[0093] ② Place the desorbed ion sieve in a lithium-containing solution (0.05 mol / L, S / L = 1:1000) and shake it in a constant temperature shaker at 100 rpm at 25°C for 24 hours to ensure adsorption equilibrium to obtain the embedded ion sieve. Take the supernatant to measure the ion concentration in the solution. The embedded ion sieve is then vacuum filtered, washed with deionized water until neutral, and oven dried. Next, add the embedded ion sieve powder to a hydrochloric acid solution and shake it in a constant temperature shaker at 100 rpm at 25°C for 24 hours to release lithium ions and obtain the desorbed ion sieve. The desorbed ion sieve is vacuum filtered, washed with deionized water until neutral, and dried to obtain the embedded ion sieve again. This adsorption / desorption cycle experiment is carried out in this way to calculate the change in adsorption capacity.

[0094] The adsorption capacity was calculated using the following formula:

[0095] Where Q e (mg / g) is the lithium ion sieve adsorption capacity; C0 (mg / L) is Li + The initial concentration of C e (mg / L) is the concentration of lithium ions when adsorption equilibrium is reached; V(L) is the volume of the solution; m(g) is the mass of the lithium ion sieve.

[0096] The adsorption performance results are shown in Table 1.

[0097] Table 1: Lithium ion sieve adsorption performance test results

[0098] As can be seen from Table 1, the manganese dissolution rate of the lithium ion sieve precursor prepared in the present invention is not higher than 1.35 mg / g when it is prepared for lithium ion sieve application, and the lithium ion sieve adsorption capacity can reach 30.55 mg / g or more. After 5 cycles, the lithium ion sieve adsorption capacity can still reach 29.69 mg / g or more, with excellent adsorption capacity and cycle stability.

[0099] (4) An ESCALAB 250Xi X-ray photoelectron spectrometer was used to determine the composition and valence of the material surface. Figures 5 and 6 are XPS comparisons of the LAMO material prepared in Example 1 of the present disclosure and the LMO material prepared in Comparative Example 3. The measured average manganese ion valences of the LAMO material prepared in Example 1 and the LMO material prepared in Comparative Example 3 are shown in Table 2.

[0100] It can be seen from Figure 5 that Al 3+The materials before and after doping show characteristic peaks of Li 1s, Mn 2p, and O 1s binding energy, indicating that the main phase of both samples is lithium manganese oxide. However, unlike LMO, a weak peak of Al 2p in LAMO can be observed in the full spectrum, indicating that Al has been successfully introduced into the lithium ion sieve precursor Li 1.6 Mn 1.6 In order to better observe and prove the substitution effect of Al on the Mn lattice, the Mn 2p orbital was detected using XPS, as shown in Figure 6. The characteristic peaks at 643.25eV and 642.12eV are attributed to Mn 4+ and Mn 3+ The binding energy, LMO and LAMO peak intensity information are shown in Table 2. 3+ Doping reduces the Mn content in the material 3+ content, thereby reducing the dissolution loss of Mn.
