Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of new energy material preparation, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a precursor of a ternary cathode material with an LTH structure.
Background
As is well known, in the emerging high and new technology of the 2l century, the new energy technology is the first time to come, and the battery industry, as an important component in the technical field of new energy, occupies a great position in the global development of science and technology and economy. In the current battery industry, lithium ion batteries are more and more favored by consumers. The lithium ion battery has the advantages of high specific capacity, high energy density, high charging and discharging efficiency, good safety performance, long cycle life and the like. Electronic products in production and life of people are as small as watches, mobile phones, notebook computers and cameras and as large as electric bicycles and electric automobiles, and used batteries are lithium ion batteries or are evolved from the lithium ion batteries, so that the lithium ion battery has excellent market advantages and application prospects.
The anode material is an important component of the lithium ion battery and a key factor for restricting the energy density of the battery. The lithium ion battery anode material which is industrialized at present is LiCoO 2 The process is mature, the comprehensive performance is good, but the price is high, the toxicity is high, the safety performance is poor, and particularly, the material is unstable when overcharged, reacts with electrolyte and the like.
LiFePO 4 And LiMn 2 O 4 As material of LiCoO 2 The substitute materials of (2) have come into play. LiFePO 4 The high-performance lithium ion battery has excellent thermal stability and cycle performance, but the actual specific capacity is low (less than 150 mAh/g), the working voltage is low, the electronic conductivity is low, the rate capability is poor, and the improvement of the energy density of the battery is limited. LiMn 2 O 4 The cost is low, the safety is good, but the cycle performance, particularly the high-temperature cycle performance, is poor, the structure is unstable, and the ginger-Taylor effect occurs to cause the capacity to be sharply attenuated.
At present, the ternary cathode material nickel-cobalt-manganese (aluminum) oxide system has the advantages of low cost, high specific capacity, high voltage plateau and the like, and is concerned. Power cells for HEVs and PHEVs have power and energy density requirements that are different from those of ternary materials commonly used in consumer electronics. The requirement of meeting the high multiplying power needs to increase the specific surface area of the ternary material and increase the reaction active area, which is contrary to the requirement of the common ternary material. The specific surface area of the ternary material is determined by the BET of the precursor, so that the technical problem to be overcome by the dynamic ternary material is solved by improving the BET of the precursor as much as possible on the premise of keeping the sphericity and a certain tap density of the precursor.
The conventional ternary anode material precursor is usually synthesized by a coprecipitation method, ammonia water is used as a complexing agent, and sodium hydroxide is used as a precipitator, so that pure hydroxide precipitate is obtained. The ternary material prepared by the precursor has high tap density but low rate performance. Because pores are generated by high-temperature sintering, the BET of the material and the ternary carbonate of the material are improvedPrecursors have also attracted attention. However, the material has poor processability and low tap density, and is not a good choice for power batteries.
