Description

Method for detecting transition metal dissolution amount of secondary battery electrode material and color developing agent
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of battery material detection, in particular to a method for detecting the dissolution amount of transition metal of a secondary battery electrode material and a color reagent.
Background
With the development of new energy automobiles and various portable electronic devices in new times, secondary batteries are being widely studied and focused as key electrochemical energy storage devices. The study of the failure principle of the secondary battery has important significance for improving the performance of the secondary battery. Among the many failure principles, the problem of transition metal dissolution is one of the main reasons that limit battery cycle life and storage life. Transition metal dissolution is closely related to interface properties of electrode materials and electrolyte, and the transition metal dissolution is often accompanied by problems of surface structure phase change, particle breakage, lattice oxygen loss and the like. Accurate detection of transition metals dissolved in the electrolyte thus facilitates a further understanding of the mechanism by which the transition metals dissolve.
The spectroscopy is a detection method with high sensitivity and no damage, but the methods such as inductively coupled high-frequency plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP), atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS), total reflection X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (TRXFS) and the like have the problems of long detection flow, long sample pretreatment time and high detection cost to different degrees.
The invention patent application CN110873694A proposes a method for directly detecting transition metal ions in electrolyte by using ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (UV-vis), and can detect the transition metal ions relatively quickly and simply.
The transition metal ions are generally present in solvated form in solution and in the form of complexes of solvent molecules in a particular solvent. The geometry formed by the solvent molecule ligand has specific orientation, so that the originally degenerated d orbit of the transition metal is subjected to energy level splitting. According to the crystal field theory, the split energy is divided into two parts, and the valence electron is in a stable ground state when in a low energy level. When external energy is excited, the valence electrons easily absorb energy and transition to a higher energy level, thereby generating an absorption spectrum. The transition is called d-d transition, and the wavelength corresponding to the d-d transition energy is just in the visible light range, so that an absorption peak is generated in the visible light region, and the color is displayed on the outside. Generally, transition metal complexes have their own characteristic absorption peaks, and thus such absorption peaks can be used to detect transition metals. However, the absorbance of the transition is generally not strong and is greatly affected by the solvent, and the direct measurement of the peak of the complex formed by the solvent and the transition metal is not applicable to systems with low dissolution content of some transition metals. In the patent application CN110873694a, the solvent is a commercially and laboratory solvent such as Ethylene Carbonate (EC), dimethyl carbonate (DMC), and other carbonates, ethers, and carboxylic acid esters, and this is a problem.
Therefore, the development and perfection of the UV-vis detection method are necessary, and a rapid transition metal ion detection method suitable for the whole system is established.

In order to better understand the technical scheme provided by the invention, the following specific applications of the method provided by the embodiment of the invention for detecting the transition metal dissolution amount of the secondary battery electrode material are respectively described in a plurality of specific examples.
Example 1
1. Assembling LiCoO 2 Half cells were charged and discharged 2 times at a rate of 0.05C and then left in a discharged state to obtain a cell having an open circuit voltage of about 3.8V. The battery is disassembled to obtain LiCoO 2 The number of the pole pieces is 3, the numbers are 7-31, 7-39 and 7-53 respectively, the size of the pole pieces is phi 8mm, and the mass of the active substances is 1.807mg, 1.815mg and 2.047mg in sequence.
2. 3mg of PAR was accurately weighed out and dissolved in 9mL of a blank electrolyte (EC: DMC=3:7, vol%) in a glove box to give a solution having a concentration of 1548.87. Mu.M as an indicator electrolyte containing a color developer.
For pole pieces 7-31 and 7-53, the two pole pieces were placed in a cuvette, 26uL of indicator electrolyte was accurately removed using a pipette and added to the cuvette, followed by 377uL of blank electrolyte (EC: dmc=3:7, vol%). The cuvette was sealed. After shaking, one part of the pole piece 7-31 is placed in a constant temperature environment at 45 ℃, and one part of the pole piece 7-53 is placed in a constant temperature environment. For the pole pieces 7-39, the pole pieces were placed in a cuvette, 403uL of blank electrolyte was removed and added thereto, and one of the pole pieces 7-39 was placed in a constant temperature environment at 45 ℃.
3. UV-vis tests were performed after storage for 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 8 days, respectively, and the results are shown in FIG. 2. As can be seen from FIG. 2, the sample with the added PAR as a color developer developed a new absorption peak at 571nm after storage for a period of time. Wherein, the test after 0 days indicates that the pole piece is directly tested after being put into the indication electrolyte containing the color reagent. The direction indicated by the arrow in the figure is the direction increasing with time, and the trend of change is different at different wavelengths. The drawings in the following embodiments are the same and will not be described in detail.
A calibration curve is established as follows:
4. 1mg of cobalt (II) acetylacetonate (abbreviated as Co (acac)) was accurately weighed 2 ) In a glove box, the mixture was dissolved in 12mL of the electrolyte to obtain Co (acac) having a concentration of 324.07. Mu.M 2 And (5) a concentrated solution. 6 clean cuvettes were prepared and Co (acac) was added sequentially to the first cuvette 2 Concentrated solution 20uL, indicator electrolyte 84uL, blank electrolyte 1192uL; the other 5 cuvettes were filled with the following three solutions: 20uL, 42uL, 586uL;30uL, 42uL, 576uL;40uL, 42uL, 566uL;60uL, 42uL, 546uL;80uL, 42uL, 526uL; the PAR concentrations in these 6 cuvettes were 100uM and the Co concentrations were 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40uM in this order. The 6 cuvettes are placed in a 45 ℃ environment for 24 hours to ensure that the coordination reaction of PAR and Co is fully completed.
5. The liquids in these 6 cuvettes were subjected to UV-vis test and the results are shown in figure 2. FIG. 2 shows that a new absorption peak does appear at 571nm, i.e. it is demonstrated that this peak is the absorption peak of Co-PAR.
6. Considering that the peak of PAR itself may have an influence on the peak at 571nm, a slightly weaker peak at 612nm was chosen as the characteristic peak of Co-PAR, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. The absorbance at 612nm was plotted against concentration and a linear fit was made, the results are shown in fig. 4. The absorbance-concentration fitting equation for Co-PAR at 612nm is y=0.01388x+0.00444.
7. The specific amount of Co dissolved in FIG. 2 can be calculated from the scaled curve. The absorbance at 612nm after 8 days of storage of the pole pieces 7-31 is 0.41958, and the concentration of Co obtained by substituting the absorbance into a fitting equation is 30uM. The absorbance of the pole piece 7-53 stored for 8 days at 612nm is 0.12631, and the concentration of Co obtained by substituting the absorbance into a fitting equation is 8.8uM.
The experiment observes that 3 pole pieces store 4 days later in color. The color was seen to be gradually changed to green, indicating that the color change directly observed from the outside was consistent with the calculated concentration change of Co. The conditions of the pole pieces 7-31 and 7-53 are compared, so that the high temperature can promote the quick dissolution of Co and accelerate the failure of the electrode.
Example 2
1. 1mg of PAN was accurately weighed, and dissolved in 3mL of a blank electrolyte in a glove box to obtain a solution having a concentration of 1337.24. Mu.M.
2. The pole pieces 7-40 and 7-42 obtained by the same method as in step 1 of example 1 were placed in a cuvette, 75uL of PAN concentrated solution was accurately removed by using a pipette, and added to the cuvette, and 925uL of blank electrolyte was further added to make the PAN concentration 100uM. The cobalt-containing solutions of 6 concentrations were prepared as in example 1, and characteristic peaks of Co were found at 620nm, with absorbance-concentration fitting equation of y=0.01911x+0.01012. 7-42 were placed in a constant temperature environment at 45℃and 7-40 were subjected to UV-vis tests in a normal temperature environment after storage for 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 8 days, respectively, the results are shown in FIG. 5. The absorbance of the pole piece 7-42 at 620nm after 8 days of storage is 0.12879, and the concentration of Co obtained by substituting the absorbance into a fitting equation is 6.2uM, while the concentration of dissolved Co of the pole piece 7-40 is 2.5uM under the same condition. The total liquid in the cuvette of this example was 1mL, so the Co concentration was slightly lower.
Example 3
1. 1mg of 5-Cl-PADAB was accurately weighed and dissolved in 3mL of a blank electrolyte in a glove box to give a 1345.77uM solution.
2. The pole pieces 7-36 obtained in the same manner as in step 1 of example 1 were placed in a cuvette, 37uL of PAN concentrated solution was accurately removed by using a pipette, and added to the cuvette, and 963uL of blank electrolyte was further added to make the 5-Cl-PADAB concentration 50uM. Storing 7-36 at 45 deg.C. UV-vis tests were performed after storage for 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 8 days, respectively, and the results are shown in FIG. 6.
3. Since the characteristic peak after the 5-Cl-PADAB and Co are matched is positioned at 566nm, the 5-Cl-PADAB also has an absorption peak at 566 nm. Therefore, 5-Cl-PADAB solutions of 25, 35, 45 and 50uM are prepared firstly, the relation between the absorbance and the concentration of the 5-Cl-PADAB at 566nm is obtained after treatment, and linear fitting is carried out, and the result is shown in figure 7, wherein figure 7a is a UV-vis spectrogram of a standard solution formed by the pole pieces 7-36 provided by the embodiment 3 and a series of 5-Cl-PADAB, and figure 7b is a relation between the absorbance and the concentration of the pole pieces 7-36 provided by the embodiment 3 at 566 nm. The absorbance-concentration fitting equation for 5-Cl-PADAB at 566nm was y=0.00161x+0.00477. A series of standard solutions of different Co concentrations were then prepared as in example 1. The absorbance-concentration fitting equation for Co-5-Cl-PADAB at 566nm was found to be y=0.09319x+0.04373 taking into account the effect of the absorbance of 5-Cl-PADAB at 566 nm.
4. The specific amount of Co dissolved in FIG. 6 can be calculated from the scaled curve. The absorbance at 566nm after 8 days of storage of the pole pieces 7-36 was 0.55468, and the concentration of dissolved Co was calculated to be 4.73uM taking into account the influence of 5-Cl-PADAB.
