Abstract
The invention provides a sphere-like porous nickel-cobalt-manganese precursor and a preparation method thereof, wherein the precursor is hydroxide of nickel, cobalt and manganese, and the molecular formula is NixCoyMn1‑x‑y(OH)2,0<x<1,0<y<1. The spherical-like porous nickel-cobalt-manganese precursor is in a hexagonal sheet shape, the thickness of the primary particles is 10 nm-100 nm, the side length of the primary particles is 10 nm-1 mu m, the particle size of the secondary particles is 3-20 mu m, and the pore diameter of the secondary particles is 2-10 nm. The sphere-like porous nickel-cobalt-manganese precursor prepared by the preparation process has regular shape and high tap density, and particularly the porous structure is favorable for high-temperature calcinationAnd the diffusion of lithium salt is promoted in the firing process, and the distribution uniformity of elements is improved. The lithium transition metal layered oxide anode material prepared by the spheroidal porous nickel-cobalt-manganese precursor provided by the invention has higher electrochemical capacity and excellent cycling stability.
Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of lithium ion battery anode materials, in particular to a sphere-like porous nickel-cobalt-manganese precursor and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the continuous development of economic society, the demand of human society for energy is more and more, but the traditional fossil energy is non-renewable resource, and the heavy use of the fossil energy also causes serious environmental problems. Therefore, in order to achieve sustainable development of human society, it is urgently needed to search clean renewable resources to provide inexhaustible power for development of human society. Lithium ion batteries are widely used in various electronic devices and electric vehicles due to their characteristics of high specific capacity, good cycling stability, high safety, etc., and are also used in large-scale applications in the fields of large-scale energy storage systems, etc. Therefore, the nickel-cobalt-manganese precursor material matched with the lithium ion battery of the power automobile is developed, and the nickel-cobalt-manganese precursor material has wide application prospect.
The hydroxide coprecipitation method is a method for preparing a large amount of precursors of the anode materials of the lithium ion batteries. The preparation of the precursor is a method that a transition metal salt mixed solution, an alkali liquor and a complexing agent are added into a reactor filled with a certain amount of base solution in a cocurrent manner, transition metal ions react with a precipitator to generate insoluble precipitates by adjusting the process conditions of stirring speed, complexing agent concentration, pH, feeding speed and the like, and the insoluble precipitates are filtered, washed and dried to obtain the nickel-cobalt-manganese precursor. The method can reduce the precipitation speed of the transition metal ions under the combined action of the precipitator and the complexing agent, so that the transition metal ions can be nucleated and grown together to prepare the precursor with the spheroidal morphology. Compared with the shapes of a rod, a tube, an irregular polyhedron and the like, the spherical precursor is a necessary trend for the development of the lithium ion battery anode material due to the advantages of good fluidity, dispersibility, vibration-like density and the like.
