Description

Preparation method of high-capacity single-crystal ternary cathode material
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of lithium ion battery materials, in particular to a preparation method of a high-capacity single-crystal ternary cathode material.
Background
The explosive development of new energy automobiles drives the explosive growth of the demand of lithium ion batteries, and the lithium battery industry chain faces significant challenges and opportunities from top to bottom.
With the requirement of new energy automobiles on the endurance mileage becoming higher and higher, the ternary cathode material with high nickel content and low cobalt content gradually becomes one of the main development directions of the cathode material of the lithium ion battery. Meanwhile, the high safety performance of the new energy automobile is a pursuit which is unchangeable over the ancient times, so that the single crystallization of the ternary anode material also can be another main development direction of the anode material of the lithium ion battery.
At present, the ternary cathode material is mainly secondary spherical particles formed by agglomeration of primary nanoparticles, the volume of the lithium ion-releasing cathode material of the battery can contract and expand to a certain degree in the charging and discharging processes, and the volume change of the material can be aggravated along with the aggravation of the charging and discharging degree and the increase of the cycle number, so that the following problems are caused: firstly, because crystal boundaries exist among primary nano particles, cracks can appear between the crystal boundaries in the charging and discharging processes, and the performance of the electrical property of the material is seriously influenced; secondly, in the manufacturing process of the battery, the secondary ball particles are easily crushed, so that the interface reaction between the material and the electrolyte is aggravated, and the electrical property and the safety performance of the material are seriously worsened.
Compared with the prior art, the single crystal type cathode material can avoid the generation of cracks between crystal boundaries, reduce side reactions with electrolyte and well improve the cycle performance and safety performance of the material. However, compared with secondary spherical particles, the single crystal ternary material is slightly deficient in capacity exertion, mainly because the lithium ion transmission distance of the single crystal particles is greater than that of the primary nanoparticles, and the nanocrystallization of the single crystal particles sacrifices the volume energy density of the battery, so that the method has very important research significance on how to improve the capacity of the single crystal material. Meanwhile, the traditional preparation process of the single crystal material needs higher sintering requirements, so that the production process is complicated and the production cost is high, and therefore the problem needs to be solved.
For example: the existing preparation of the single crystal ternary material is mainly realized by sectional sintering and addition of an auxiliary agent, and the lithium ion transmission performance of the single crystal ternary material cannot be fundamentally improved by regulating and controlling the energy consumption and the productivity through a sintering means. The monocrystal ternary cathode material prepared by the patent CN104979546A has the advantages that the BET of the prepared flower cluster type precursor particles is too high, the filling during sintering is not facilitated, the productivity is low, the final monocrystal ternary cathode material is obtained by the method through pre-sintering, secondary sintering and third sintering, the sintering process is complicated, and the production cost is high.
Therefore, how to solve the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art is a problem to be solved by the present invention.

Detailed Description
The invention is further described below with reference to the following examples:
example (b): referring to the attached drawings 1-5, a preparation method of a high-capacity single-crystal ternary positive electrode material is disclosed; the method sequentially comprises the following steps:
step one, reaction preparation, namely, adding the mixture into a reaction kettle (6 m)3) Adding pure water (1500L) and complexing agent as base solution; continuously introducing inert gas to ensure that the oxygen concentration of the whole reaction system in the reaction kettle is kept to be less than or equal to 200ppm, the time of introducing the inert gas is more than or equal to 6 hours, and the reaction temperature is controlled to be 40-60 ℃, preferably 50 ℃; the complexing agent is preferably ammonia water, so that the ammonia concentration of the base solution is controlled to be 0.05-1.0 mol/L. The inert gas is used as protective gas, nitrogen, argon, helium and the like can be selected, and the gas flow is controlled to be 2-6 m3/h。
Then, starting the reaction, starting stirring, and pumping the salt solution of nickel, cobalt and manganese, the alkali solution and the ammonia water into the reaction kettle through a metering pump.
Adding the alkali solution to control the pH of the reaction solution to be 11.0-12.0, preferably 11.5 +/-0.1; the first step is a nucleation stage, the pH is controlled to be 11.0-12.0 because the initial reaction stage is a crystal nucleus preparation process, if the pH is less than 11.0, the nickel, cobalt and manganese ions in the system are incompletely precipitated, the proportion of the nickel, cobalt and manganese ions in the prepared product deviates, and the ion distribution is not uniform; if the pH value is more than 12.0, the nucleation speed is too fast to be higher than the growth speed of crystals, so that micro powder is easy to appear in a system, and the prepared product has poor sphericity, poor compaction and other performance defects.
The alkali solution can be selected from soluble alkali solution such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide.
Introducing the ammonia water in the reaction process to maintain the ammonia concentration in the reaction solution at 0.3-0.8 mol/L, preferably 0.6 mol/L; ammonia water as a complexing agent reaches a balance relationship with the pH, and the ammonia concentration affects the primary morphology of the particles and the formation of loose flakes of the shell.
Adding bicarbonate solution with the concentration of 1-4 mol/L (preferably 2 mol/L) every 40-120 min (preferably 60 min) in the reaction process, wherein the adding amount of each time accounts for 0.1-1% of the volume ratio of the reaction solution in the reaction kettle, so as to prepare the porous inner core. The particle size is monitored in real time during the reaction process, the reaction is stopped when the particle size (diameter) of the core reaches 1-4 μm (preferably 3.5-4.0 μm), and the specific surface area is 10-30 m2(ii) in terms of/g. The bicarbonate in the bicarbonate solution is at least one of ammonia bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate, calcium bicarbonate and magnesium bicarbonate.
Step two, calculating from the beginning of the reaction, stopping adding liquid (namely stopping adding the salt solution of nickel, cobalt and manganese, the alkali solution and the ammonia water) after reacting for 4-10 h, adding a dispersing agent (10 kg) into the reaction kettle, wherein the adding amount accounts for 0.1-1% of the volume ratio of the reaction solution in the reaction kettle, and then aging for 1-2 h; the dispersing agent is at least one of polyethylene glycol, sodium pyrophosphate, potassium citrate and sodium silicate. If no dispersing agent is added, the prepared inner core can be agglomerated together after the rotating speed is greatly reduced, and the subsequent loose slice shell is not beneficial to wrapping the inner core. The aging effect is to make the dispersant dissolved better and to make the non-stable particles in the system grow continuously to reach the stability of the system.
And step three, after the aging is finished, adjusting the rotation speed of 50-100 rpm on the basis of the rotation speed of the step one, then continuously adding the nickel-cobalt-manganese salt solution, the alkali solution and the ammonia water through a metering pump, continuously adding the alkali solution to control the pH value of the reaction solution to be 12.0-13.0, and continuously adding the ammonia water to enable the ammonia concentration in the reaction solution to be 0.3-1.0 mol/L, thereby preparing the loose flaky shell. And D (50) monitoring the material process in real time in the reaction process, and stopping the reaction when the reaction reaches 5.5-6.0 mu m.
The third step is a shell making stage, the pH is controlled to be 12.0-13.0 because the reaction enters a growth stage, if the pH is less than 12.0, the growth speed of crystals is greater than the nucleation speed of crystal nuclei, primary particles are more and more compact along with the reaction, and loose sheets cannot be formed, so that the pH needs to be controlled to be more than 12.0, the nucleation speed of the crystal nuclei is accelerated, and the particles are loose; if the pH is >13.0, a large number of crystal nuclei are formed, and a large amount of fine powder is generated to limit the crystal growth rate.
Step four, aging the product obtained in the step three for 2 hours, centrifugally washing until the material is neutral, and finally completely drying at 150 ℃ to obtain a nickel-cobalt-manganese hydroxide precursor with a porous inner core and a loose and flaky outer shell; the obtained nickel-cobalt-manganese hydroxide has the general formula of NiXCoYMnZ(OH)2Wherein X is more than or equal to 0.3 and less than or equal to 0.8, and X + Y + Z = 1. The aging time, the washing mode and requirement, and the drying temperature and time are standard practice in the industry, and can be known by those skilled in the art, and are not the invention point of the present invention, so that the detailed description is omitted.

Wherein the lithium salt is lithium carbonate or lithium nitrate or lithium hydroxide. The modes and requirements of coarse crushing, fine crushing and sieving for removing iron are standard practice in the industry and can be mastered by the technical personnel in the field, and the modes and requirements are not the point of the invention, so the method does not need to be used for removing ironThe description is given.
Step four and step five are post-treatment steps.
Wherein the salt solution of nickel, cobalt and manganese in the first step and the third step is at least one of sulfate, nitrate and chloride of nickel, cobalt and manganese, and the concentration of the salt solution is 2-4 mol/L; the concentration of the alkali solution in the first step and the third step is 20-50%, and the concentration of the ammonia water is 2-5 mol/L.
