Detailed Description
The following detailed description of embodiments of the invention refers to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating the present invention, are given by way of illustration and explanation only, not limitation.
As indicated in the background section, in order to meet the social needs, the specific volume capacity of the battery needs to be further improved, and the standby time of the battery needs to be further prolonged. Therefore, the inventor of the invention provides a novel lithium manganese iron phosphate material, and the lithium manganese iron phosphate material has LiMnxFe1-x-yMyPO4A structure of/C, wherein 0. ltoreq. x.ltoreq.1 (preferably 0.5. ltoreq. x.ltoreq.1), 0. ltoreq. y.ltoreq.1 (preferably 0. ltoreq. y.ltoreq.0.5), M is a transition metal element (preferably M is one or more of Co, Ni, Mg, Zn, V and Ti) other than Mn and Fe, and the particle diameter D of the lithium iron manganese phosphate-based material is500.5-1.0 μm, D90Is 1.0-5.0 μm, and the cohesion Cohesive of the lithium iron manganese phosphate material is less than or equal to 1.5 kPa.
The lithium iron manganese phosphate material has LiMnxFe1-x-yMyPO4The structure of/C means that the alloy has carbon-coated LiMnxFe1-x- yMyPO4The structure of the particles. The lithium iron manganese phosphate material has a small particle size (particle size D)500.5-1.0 μm, D901.0-5.0 μm), and the Cohesive force is also small (Cohesive is less than or equal to 1.5 kPa). The positive electrode is prepared from the lithium manganese iron phosphate material, so that the volume specific capacity of a lithium battery comprising the positive electrode is favorably improved, and the endurance time of the battery is further improved.
In the present invention, among them, the particle diameter D50And D90The volume average particle size is obtained by dispersing powder to be tested in water, then carrying out ultrasonic oscillation, and carrying out particle size test by using a laser particle size analyzer.
In the lithium iron manganese phosphate material, the specific surface area, the compaction density and the magnetic induction intensity of the lithium iron manganese phosphate material are not particularly required, as long as the particle size D of the lithium iron manganese phosphate material500.5-1.0 μm, D90The particle size is 1.0-5.0 mu m, and the volume specific capacity of the lithium manganese iron phosphate material can be correspondingly improved when the cohesion Cohesive is less than or equal to 1.5 kPa. However, in order to further optimize and improve the specific volume capacity or high-temperature capacity retention rate of the lithium battery, the lithium iron manganese phosphate material preferably meets the following requirements:
preferably, the particle size D of the lithium iron manganese phosphate-based material500.5-0.8 μm, D90Is 1.0-3.0 μm, and the cohesion Cohesive of the lithium iron manganese phosphate material is less than or equal to 1.2 kPa. Optimizing the particle size and the cohesion of the lithium iron manganese phosphate material within the range is beneficial to improving the compaction density of the material.
Preferably, the specific surface area S of the lithium iron manganese phosphate material is 12m2/g≤S≤28m2A/g, preferably of 15m2/g≤S≤25m2(ii) in terms of/g. Optimizing the specific surface area of the lithium iron manganese phosphate material within the range is beneficial to improving the surface activity of the material under the condition of not influencing the compaction performance of the material.
Preferably, the compacted density of the lithium iron manganese phosphate material is 2.0g/cm3-2.68g/cm3Preferably 2.2g/cm3-2.55g/cm3. Optimizing the compaction density of the lithium iron manganese phosphate material in the range is beneficial to improving the volume energy density of the lithium battery, and ensuring the pore density of the electrode application and the smoothness of a lithium ion diffusion channel.
Preferably, the magnetic induction intensity of the lithium iron manganese phosphate material is 800-1100ppm, preferably 950-1050 ppm. Optimizing the magnetic induction intensity of the lithium iron manganese phosphate material in the range is beneficial to improving the charge and discharge capacity of the lithium battery. The magnetic induction intensity of the lithium iron manganese phosphate material is tested by adopting a magnetic analyzer MA1040 of a microphone instrument. The testing method comprises the steps of filling lithium iron manganese phosphate material powder into a sample cup (the height of a sample is 12cm), and measuring the magnetic strength of 5 different directions to obtain an average value.
In the lithium iron manganese phosphate material, the content of carbon element in the lithium iron manganese phosphate material is not particularly required, and the conventional amount of carbon in the field can be referred. For example, the content of carbon element in the lithium iron manganese phosphate material is 0.1 to 5 wt% of the total amount of the lithium iron manganese phosphate material, and preferably 0.5 to 3.5 wt% of the total amount of the lithium iron manganese phosphate material. Optimizing the carbon content in the lithium iron manganese phosphate material within the range is beneficial to promoting the material to have relatively good conductivity.
In the prior art, there is no suggestion or expectation about the preparation of the lithium iron manganese phosphate material provided by the present invention, and it may be difficult to prepare the lithium iron manganese phosphate material provided by the present invention by directly adopting the conventional method in the prior art. This may be because:
in the process of forming slurry containing primary particles by grinding through the conventional high-temperature solid phase method, because the grinding and mixing effects are poor, the ball-milled material particles are often large, the requirement of the invention on the particle size of the material is difficult to achieve, and the requirement of the invention on the cohesive force of the material is difficult to achieve
Although the chinese patent No. cn201210087676.x adopts the steps of wet mixing, intermediate pre-sintering and re-wet mixing, the mixing method adopted by the method cannot realize the nano-scale mixing of the raw materials, so that the crushing of the sequential particle sizes obtained by the first wet mixing is irregular, which easily causes the problems of more water caltrops, rough and defective material surfaces, large cohesion among particles, and further causes the problems of poor stacking performance of the corresponding materials and low volume capacity of the battery.
Therefore, for the lithium iron manganese phosphate material provided by the invention, the preparation can be performed by referring to a conventional method in the prior art, but the particle size formed in the preparation process of the lithium iron manganese phosphate material needs to be strictly controlled, and the prepared lithium iron manganese phosphate material needs to be strictly screened so as to obtain the lithium iron manganese phosphate material provided by the invention.
However, in order to simplify the preparation method of the lithium iron manganese phosphate material, the invention also provides a preparation method of the lithium iron manganese phosphate material. The preparation method comprises the following steps: grinding and mixing a lithium source, an optional manganese source, an optional iron source, an optional M source, a phosphorus source and a carbon source according to a proportion to obtain slurry containing primary particles; sequentially passing the slurry containing the primary particles through a first chamber with pressure of P1 and a second chamber with pressure of P2 to obtain refined slurry, wherein P1 is more than or equal to 4000Psi, P1 is more than 3 times of P2, preferably P1 is more than 5 times of P2, and preferably P1 is 5-10 times of P2; and sequentially drying and sintering the refined slurry to obtain secondary particles, namely the lithium iron manganese phosphate material.
According to the preparation method of the lithium iron manganese phosphate material, the slurry containing the primary particles obtained by grinding and mixing sequentially passes through the first chamber and the second chamber with large pressure difference, so that the environmental pressure is suddenly reduced from P1 to P2, and the primary particles are simultaneously subjected to mechanical force effects such as high-speed shearing, high-frequency oscillation, cavitation, convection impact and the like in a narrow area of the second chamber along with the sudden release of the pressure energy, so that a strong cavitation effect similar to an explosion effect is generated. The strong comprehensive action not only makes the water caltrops on the surface of the primary particles round and smooth, but also makes the primary particles subjected to ultra-fine treatment. At the moment, the obtained refined slurry can basically keep the appearance of the original particles after high-temperature sintering, only part of raw materials are melted and sintered, so that the surface is smoother, the interaction force among secondary particles is greatly reduced, and the cohesion of the prepared lithium iron manganese phosphate material is reduced. In addition, the grain size of primary particles is greatly reduced through ultra-fine treatment, so that the particles are not easy to generate local segregation and impurities, trace impurities contained in finished product materials are favorably relatively reduced, and the high-temperature capacity storage rate of corresponding lithium batteries is improved.
In the preparation method of the lithium iron manganese phosphate material provided by the invention, the slurry containing the primary particles sequentially passes through the first chamber (with pressure of P1) and the second chamber (with pressure of P2) with suddenly reduced pressure, wherein P1 is not less than 4000Psi, and P1 is more than 3 times of P2. There is no particular requirement for the pressure of the first chamber and the second chamber, the residence time of the slurry containing the primary particles in the first chamber and the second chamber (the time difference between the time when the material enters the chamber and the time when the material exits the chamber), and the flow rate of the slurry containing the primary particles from the first chamber into the second chamber, and they can be adjusted appropriately according to the actual conditions of the selected apparatus. However, in order to further optimize the physical properties of the prepared lithium iron manganese phosphate material, it is preferable that the parameters in the preparation method further satisfy the following requirements:
preferably, P1 in the preparation method is 4000-28000 Psi; preferably P1 is 10000-25000 Psi; setting the difference Δ P of P1 and P1 and P2 within the above range, particularly preferred range, is advantageous in forming strong cavitation. In practical application, for convenience of selecting usable equipment, the P2 is preferably 800-.
Preferably, the slurry containing primary particles flows from the first chamber into the second chamber at a velocity of 2-20 m/s. Limiting the flow rate of the slurry containing primary particles from the first chamber into the second chamber to the above range has the advantage of efficient processing. The velocity of the above-mentioned primary particle-containing slurry flowing from the first chamber into the second chamber can be adjusted by adjusting the cross-sectional area of the passage (cross-sectional area of a cross-section perpendicular to the direction in which the passage extends) between the first chamber and the second chamber.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the above preparation method, the first chamber is a homogenizing chamber of a high-pressure homogenizer, and the second chamber is an emulsifying chamber of the high-pressure homogenizer. The invention can adopt the existing high-pressure homogenizer which simultaneously comprises a homogenizing cavity and an emulsifying cavity in the prior art, thereby saving the equipment cost.
The invention firstly proposes that a homogenizer which is provided with a homogenizing cavity and an emulsifying cavity simultaneously is used in the preparation process of the lithium iron manganese phosphate material. The homogenizer is selected to be provided with the homogenizing cavity and the emulsifying cavity at the same time, so that the invention can realize that the slurry containing primary particles sequentially passes through the first cavity and the second cavity with larger pressure difference, the homogenizer does not need to be carried out at high temperature, and the purpose of refining the particle size of the primary particles can be achieved only at normal temperature.
By using the homogenizer with the two chambers of the homogenizing chamber and the emulsifying chamber, after the slurry containing primary particles enters the emulsifying chamber from the homogenizing chamber, a strong cavitation effect similar to an explosion effect is generated in a narrow area formed by the valve core, the valve seat and the impact ring in the emulsifying chamber, and simultaneously, the particle size of the particles in the obtained refined slurry is smaller and the surface water caltrops of the particles are ground to be smoother along with the shearing effect generated by the material passing through a slit between the valve core and the valve seat and the high-speed impact effect generated by the impact of the material and the impact of the material with the impact ring, so that the impurities contained in the prepared lithium iron manganese phosphate material are reduced more favorably, and the cohesion of the lithium iron phosphate material is reduced.
In the preparation method of the lithium iron manganese phosphate material provided by the invention, no special requirement is imposed on the particle size of the primary particles, and the requirement on the particle size of the primary particles in the conventional method in the field can be referred. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the primary particles have a particle diameter D50Is 50-200nm, and the secondary particle diameter D500.5-1.0 μm, D90Is 1.0-5.0 μm. The particle size of the primary particles is limited in the range, so that the particles are more uniformly mixed and more fully reacted at a subsequent high temperature, and the particle size of the secondary particles is limited in the range, so that the agglomeration phenomenon among the particles is improved, and the compaction density of the material is increased.
In the preparation method of the lithium iron manganese phosphate material provided by the invention, the raw materials and the mixture ratio of the raw materials do not have special requirements, and the material can be formed into the material with L by referring to the conventional method in the fieldiMnxFe1-x-yMyPO4The raw materials and the raw material proportion adopted by the lithium iron manganese phosphate material with the structure of/C are that x is more than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 1 (preferably x is more than or equal to 0.5 and less than or equal to 1), and y is more than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 1 (preferably y is more than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 0.5). In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the carbon source is added in an amount of 0.5 to 3.5 wt% of the total amount that may remain in the lithium iron manganese phosphate-based material. As with the conventional method in the field, the carbon source added in the invention can be enriched on the surface of the lithium iron manganese phosphate material in the sintering process, so LiMn is formedxFe1-x-yMyPO4A lithium iron manganese phosphate material with a/C structure, namely a carbon-coated structure. Controlling the amount of the carbon source within the above range is advantageous for ensuring the conductivity of the material and reducing the amount of inactive material.
In the preparation method of the lithium iron manganese phosphate material provided by the invention, in the process of grinding and mixing the lithium source, the transition metal source, the phosphorus source and the carbon source according to the proportion, the molar ratio of the lithium source, the manganese source, the iron source and the M source in terms of lithium, the total amount of Mn + Fe + M, and the phosphorus source in terms of phosphorus is (0.95-1.05): 1:1, and mixing.
