The invention relates to a
lithium ion battery positive
electrode material regeneration method based on the synergistic effect of Nb < 5 + > / Ta < 5 + > / Mo < 6 + >
doping and
molten salt reconstruction, and belongs to the technical field of
lithium battery
material recovery and regeneration, a high-temperature
molten salt system represented by LiOH-NaCl / Na2SO4 is adopted, NbCl5 / TaCl5 / MoCl6 is introduced as a
dopant, and synchronous implementation of structure repair and Nb < 5 + > / Ta < 5 + > / Mo < 6 + >
doping is realized in the
lithium supplement reconstruction process, so that the lithium supplement reconstruction process is simplified, and the
lithium ion battery positive
electrode material regeneration method is suitable for large-scale popularization and application. Meanwhile, various structural defects such as lithium vacancies, cation mixing,
lattice oxygen loss and particle cracks in the retired high-
nickel positive
electrode material are repaired, doped elements enter lattices at high temperature to form high-bond-energy O-TM bonds, surface
lattice oxygen can be effectively anchored,
oxygen vacancy generation and
oxygen separation are inhibited, and the service life of the positive
electrode material is prolonged. Therefore, the
structural stability of the regenerative positive electrode under
high voltage is remarkably improved. Meanwhile, a lithium
ion diffusion channel is widened by
doping Nb < 5 + > / Ta < 5 + > / Mo < 6 + >, the material has more excellent rate capability and long cycle stability in combination with a
grain boundary elimination effect brought by
crystal reconstruction, and the material has wide adaptability and good industrial popularization prospects.
