Description

Preparation method of high-nickel single-crystal positive electrode material, positive electrode material and lithium ion battery
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of electrochemistry, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a high-nickel single crystal positive electrode material.
Technical Field
With the strong support of the country on new energy automobiles, lithium ion batteries are rapidly developed. However, with the change of relevant national support policies and the continuous development of relevant technologies, the endurance mileage of new energy automobiles to lithium ion batteries is higher and higher. The endurance mileage is reflected on the anode material, and the anode material with higher capacity should be developed.
It is known that the capacity of the ternary cathode material is increased by 30% or more, which is mainly determined by the proportion of nickel content in the material, and the capacity of the ternary cathode material is increased by more than 30% when the NCM111 material is upgraded to the NCM811 material, and the cost of raw materials is further reduced because the NCM811 material has lower cobalt content, so the ternary material is increased in nickel content.
In the application process of the high nickel material, more lithium is extracted under high voltage due to higher nickel content, so that irreversible phase change is caused, and the structure is collapsed, and the cycle is deteriorated. Researches find that compared with a high-nickel secondary ball material, the high-nickel single crystal has a more stable structure, can ensure better cycle performance at higher voltage, and has relatively no obvious capacity loss.
However: the prior high-nickel single crystal anode material and the preparation thereof have the following defects:
1. the existing high-nickel single crystal material is mainly prepared by sintering a secondary spherical high-nickel precursor with the particle size of about 3-5 mu m at high temperature into a single crystal shape and then crushing, wherein the sintering mode easily causes uneven internal and external sintering: 1) on the one hand, this inhomogeneity is manifested in the material structure: different degrees of crystallinity and degrees of cation exclusion may result due to different degrees of internal and external oxygen contact; 2) on the other hand, it is also reflected in the particle size: because inside and outside degree of being heated is inconsistent, the condition that once granule is big outside and small in can appearing after the high temperature sintering, and the condition that lithium degree is different can appear taking off in the circulation to this kind of granule size inequality, and little granule takes off lithium degree higher, excessively takes off lithium and can arouse the structure collapse, and the granule pulverization to lead to the circulation to worsen.
2. Like the high nickel material of the secondary ball, the high nickel single crystal material has high nickel content, and if the nickel is not completely oxidized in the sintering process, more divalent nickel is easy to exist, so that the mixed arrangement of lithium and nickel is caused, and the exertion of capacity and circulation is influenced.
In summary, the preparation process of the high-nickel single-crystal cathode material needs to be further optimized.
