Description

Single crystal nickel cobalt lithium manganate positive electrode material, precursor and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of lithium ion batteries, and particularly relates to a single crystal doped multi-component nickel cobalt lithium manganate positive electrode material, a precursor and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The lithium ion battery is a green high-energy battery, has the outstanding advantages of high voltage, large energy density, good cycle performance, small self-discharge, no memory effect and the like, is widely applied to various portable electric tools, electronic instruments, mobile phones, notebook computers, video cameras, weaponry and the like, and is also widely used in the fields of electric automobiles and various energy storage.
The positive electrode material is one of the important components of the lithium ion battery, and the quality of the positive electrode material directly determines the performance of the lithium ion battery. The ternary nickel cobalt lithium manganate has higher capacity, excellent cycle and rate performance, and gradually becomes a hotspot of research and application of lithium ion battery anode materials in recent years. Among them, the ternary material is increasingly used in power batteries and high voltage batteries. The conventional ternary agglomerate type secondary polycrystalline particle positive electrode material has low powder compaction density, is easy to generate gas expansion at high temperature, and has poor high-temperature circulation and high-voltage test performance. Therefore, a single-crystal small-particle nickel cobalt lithium manganate material is needed as a positive electrode to improve high-temperature performance, inhibit high-temperature gas generation and improve the compaction density of the positive electrode material.
Compared with the existing mature process for preparing the agglomerate type secondary polycrystalline particles, the synthesis and preparation of the single crystal type ternary nickel cobalt lithium manganate cathode material have higher realization difficulty and are mainly reflected in the aspects of synthesis of precursors with special shapes and sizes and doping of auxiliary agent elements in the sintering process. At present, the number of patents related to single crystal type ternary cathode materials is small, most of the key contents of the patents mainly focus on the aspects of sintering mode, sintering temperature, particle crushing and the like in the preparation process of single crystal lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide compounds, and detailed description on the types of used precursors and research on doping and fluxing elements in the sintering process is still lacked. The chinese patent with application number CN201610739897.9 uses a conventional nickel-cobalt-manganese hydroxide precursor, and adopts up to 5 stages of sintering process to prepare the single crystal anode material, the process flow is complex, the conditions are strict and not easy to control, and the cost is high. The method for preparing the single crystal cathode material in the Chinese patent with the application number of CN201611037434.4 is to crush a large-particle precursor into small fragments, and then mix and sinter the small fragments with a metal element additive and a lithium source. After the large-particle spherical precursor is forcedly physically crushed into small particles, a plurality of indexes such as the shape, the density and the like of the material can be influenced in different degrees, and the sintering of the final anode material is not facilitated.
The quality of the performance index of the precursor directly determines the quality of the performance of the anode material, so that the nickel-cobalt-manganese hydroxide is important for the performance of the nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary anode material. In view of the particularity of the single crystal material relative to the conventional polycrystalline material, it is necessary to prepare a small-particle nickel-cobalt-manganese hydroxide with a specific morphology as a precursor, and obtain a primary-particle cathode material with a single crystal morphology through high-temperature primary sintering.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to achieve the purpose, the invention aims to provide a nickel cobalt manganese acid lithium positive electrode material precursor, and a small-particle doped multi-element positive electrode material which is high in specific capacity, excellent in cycle performance and typical in single crystal morphology is obtained by controlling the synthesis of a nickel cobalt manganese hydroxide precursor and adding a specific doping element in a sintering process.
The invention also provides a preparation method of the nickel-cobalt-manganese hydroxide and the doped single crystal nickel-cobalt-lithium manganate. Research and development find that in order to prepare a precursor with small particles, large specific surface area, looseness and low density, good dispersibility among the particles needs to be ensured in the coprecipitation process, and the particles cannot be excessively agglomerated and stacked. A certain amount of dispersant is added in the synthesis process, so that agglomeration and compaction among precipitation products can be inhibited. Polyethylene glycol HO (CH)2CH2O)nH. Polyvinyl alcohol (C)2H4O)nPolyglycerol (C)3H8O3)nMacromolecular polymeric alcohols are used as nonionic dispersants, have two hydrophilic groups of hydroxyl and ether bonds without hydrophobic groups, have good water solubility and are not easily affected by acid and alkali. In an aqueous solution, the polymer alcohol molecules are in a chain-shaped long strip shape, and are easy to form strong hydrogen bonds with the surfaces of precursor precipitate particles, and the ether bonds of the polymer alcohol molecules are also easy to generate affinity action with the surfaces of the precipitate particles, so that the polymer alcohol molecules are easily adsorbed on the surfaces of the particles, thereby forming a layer of polymer film to wrap the precursor precipitate particles. On the other hand, the polymeric alcohol chain type molecular bond can extend into a complexing agent system in the reaction, so that the generated coating protective film has a certain thickness, a steric hindrance effect is presented, and the attraction among particles is greatly weakened, thereby effectively preventing the particle growth and inhibiting the particle agglomeration.
Compared with an aggregate polycrystalline material, the single crystal nickel cobalt lithium manganate oxide usually needs higher temperature in the sintering process to realize single crystallization of particles and enable the formation of grain boundaries to be more stable. A small amount of doping elements such as Na, Si, Ba, Sr, F, Cl and the like with fluxing property and lattice strengthening elements such as Al, Mg, La, Ce and the like are added in the sintering process, so that a low-melting-point melting promoting compound can be formed in the oxidation sintering reaction with lithium, the thermal stress formed by crystals is reduced, the movement of crystal boundaries is promoted, the crystal growth is more uniform and complete, and single crystals are more easily formed. The addition of fluxing doping elements enables the single-crystallized primary particles to be formed at a lower temperature, the size of the primary particles of the single-crystal material is increased, and the stability of the material is improved.
