Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. The examples, in which specific conditions are not specified, were conducted under conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer. The reagents or instruments used are conventional products which are not indicated by manufacturers and are commercially available.
The lithium battery positive electrode material and the preparation method thereof provided by the present application are specifically described below.
The application provides a preparation method of a lithium battery positive electrode material, which comprises the following steps: mixing the solid manganese dioxide with an active material for preparing the lithium battery positive electrode material in a closed container at the temperature lower than-10 ℃, subliming the solid manganese dioxide into gas, subliming the gas into solid manganese dioxide, and continuously mixing for 25-35 min.
The active material may include, for example and without limitation, at least one of a lithium manganate material, a lithium-rich manganese material, and a ternary material, among others.
For reference, the molecular formula of the lithium manganate material may be LiM x Mn 2-x O 4 (x is more than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 0.6, M represents any metal element), and the molecular formula of the lithium-rich manganese material can be xLi 2 MnO 3 ·(1-x)LiMO 2 (wherein x is more than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 1, and M = one or more of Ni, Co, Fe and Cr), the molecular formula of the ternary material can be LiNi x Co y Mn 1-x-y O 2 (0≤x+y≤1)。
The molar ratio of manganous oxide solid to active material may be 0.1-1:100, such as 0.1:100, 0.2:100, 0.3:100, 0.4:100, 0.5:100, 0.6:100, 0.7:100, 0.8:100, 0.9:100, or 1:100, and may also be any other value within the range of 0.1-1: 100.
If the amount of the manganese dioxide solid is too small, the effect of effectively coating the surface interface of the active material cannot be achieved; if the amount of the manganese dioxide solid is too large, a thick manganese-rich layer is formed on the surface of the active material, so that the lithium ions in the original active material are prevented from entering and exiting.
The mixing temperature of the manganous oxide solid and the active material can be-11 ℃, 12 ℃, 15 ℃, 18 ℃ or 20 ℃ and the like.
Under the above conditions, manganese pentoxide was mixed in solid form with the active material. It should be noted that, if the manganese heptaoxide solid and the active material are directly coated in a mixed manner, the manganese heptaoxide solid and the active material are combined by physical adsorption force, and actually, the manganese heptaoxide is contacted with points, and under the condition that the molar ratio is 0.1-1:100, the manganese heptaoxide can hardly coat all the surfaces of the active material completely and uniformly. If manganese pentoxide is mixed in liquid form with the active material, the rate of its permeability to the surface of the material is not fast enough, which also tends to result in non-uniform coating.
Based on the above, the inventor creatively proposes that manganese dioxide is firstly sublimated into a gaseous state and uniformly distributed in a closed container in a sublimation and desublimation mode, so that the active material to be coated is covered and distributed in the atmosphere filled with the manganese dioxide, under the condition, the manganese dioxide can be distributed on all surfaces of the active material to be coated (namely, the surface of each position of the active material to be coated is exposed to the atmosphere filled with the gaseous manganese dioxide), and then desublimation is carried out, so that the manganese dioxide and the surface of the active material to be coated are subjected to chemical action, and comprehensive and uniform coating (chemical coating) of the surface and the interface of the material to be coated is realized.
As a reference, the manner in which the manganese dioxide solid is sublimated into a gas includes adjusting the temperature within the closed vessel and/or adjusting the pressure of the closed vessel.
In some alternative embodiments, the manganese dioxide solid can be sublimated into gas by sublimation under reduced pressure, for example, the pressure in the closed container can be reduced to 0.01-0.08 MPa.
Specifically, the pressure in the sealed container after the pressure reduction may be 0.01MPa, 0.02MPa, 0.03MPa, 0.04MPa, 0.05MPa, 0.06MPa, 0.07MPa, 0.08MPa, or 0.09MPa, or any other value within the range of 0.01 to 0.08 MPa.
Similarly, the means for desublimating the manganese heptaoxide gas to a solid comprises adjusting the temperature within the closed vessel. In some alternative embodiments, the temperature in the closed vessel may be adjusted to 0-5 ℃ when the temperature is adjusted.
Specifically, the adjusted temperature may be any temperature in the range of-10 ℃ (not including) to 5.9 ℃ (not including), such as 0 ℃, 0.5 ℃, 1 ℃, 1.5 ℃, 2 ℃, 2.5 ℃, 3 ℃, 3.5 ℃, 4 ℃, 4.5 ℃ or 5 ℃.
And adjusting the temperature in the closed container to 0-5 ℃ under the vibration condition, and maintaining the vibration condition to mix the desublimated manganese heptaoxide solid with the active material to be coated.
The active material to be coated can be in a loose suspension state in the closed container and the position of the active material is constantly changed by adjusting the temperature and mixing the materials under the vibration condition, namely, the active material positioned below the closed container at a certain moment is changed to be positioned above the closed container at the next moment after being vibrated, or the active material positioned on the left side of the closed container at a certain moment is changed to be positioned on the right side of the closed container at the next moment after being vibrated, or the active material positioned on the front side of the closed container at a certain moment is changed to be positioned on the rear side of the closed container at the next moment after being vibrated. Therefore, active materials to be coated at all positions in the closed container can be fully contacted with the manganese dioxide gas, gaps in the coated active material body can be contacted with the manganese dioxide gas, and uniform mixing effect can be achieved after the active materials are desublimated into solids.
The amplitude of the vibration process may be, for example, 1-3mm, such as 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm or 3mm, and may be any other value within the range of 1-3 mm.
The vibration frequency may be 20-40Hz, such as 20Hz, 25Hz, 30Hz, 35Hz, or 40Hz, or any other value within the range of 20-40 Hz.
At the above amplitudes and frequencies, efficient bonding of the manganese heptaoxide solid to the active material is facilitated. If the amplitude is too large, the aggregation form of the active material is easily changed, and fine powder harmful to the electrical property is generated; if the amplitude is too small, insufficient contact between the manganese dioxide and the material is easily caused; similarly, if the vibration frequency is too high, the aggregation form of the active material is easily changed, and fine powder harmful to the electrical property is generated; if the vibration frequency is too low, the working time tends to be prolonged.
The mixing time of the manganese dioxide gas which is desublimated into solid and then continuously mixed with the anode material to be coated can be 25min, 28min, 30min, 32min or 35min and the like, and can also be any value within the range of 25-35 min.
Under the mixing range, the manganese dioxide gas which is desublimated into solid can be effectively and uniformly coated on all surfaces and interfaces of the positive electrode material to be coated.
In some embodiments, the temperature may be adjusted to 5 ℃ under the conditions of an amplitude of 1 to 3mm and a vibration frequency of 20 to 40Hz after the depressurization, and the manganese heptaoxide solid may be mixed with the active material for 30min under the vibration conditions.
Further, after the manganese dioxide gas is desublimated into a solid and continuously mixed for 25-35min, the method also comprises the following steps: the temperature in the closed container is adjusted to 120 ℃ and 180 ℃ and the mixture is continuously mixed for 25-35 min.
The temperature after the continuous adjustment may be, for example, 120 ℃, 125 ℃, 130 ℃, 135 ℃, 140 ℃, 145 ℃, 150 ℃, 155 ℃, 160 ℃, 165 ℃, 170 ℃, 175 ℃ or 180 ℃, or may be any other value within the range of 120 ℃ and 180 ℃.
The mixing time after the temperature is continuously adjusted can be 25min, 28min, 30min, 32min, 35min or the like, and can also be any other value within the range of 25-35 min.
The residual and uncoated manganese dioxide can be decomposed by continuously mixing at the temperature of 120-180 ℃ for 25-35min, and finally the purpose of no residue is achieved.
Preferably, the treatment process after the temperature is raised to 120-180 ℃ is also performed under vibration.
In reference, the amplitude during the treatment process after the temperature is raised to 120-180 ℃ can also be 1-3mm, and the vibration frequency can also be 20-40 Hz.
In some embodiments, after the treatment at 0-5 deg.C for 25-35min, the temperature is adjusted to 150 deg.C and the treatment is carried out at amplitude of 1-3mm and vibration frequency of 20-40Hz for 30 min.
In an alternative embodiment, after the temperature is raised to 120-180 ℃ for treatment for 25-35min, the closed container is returned to normal pressure and cooled.
Accordingly, Mn having a strong oxidizing property is obtained by the above method 2 O 7 And the surface of the active material is subjected to redox reaction, so that the chemical coating of a substrate by a coating material is realized (the coating is firm and the coating strength is good), the oxidation state of transition metal on the surface of the active material is improved while the coating is carried out, and the material performance is improved.
Specifically, in the above process, Mn 2 O 7 Can convert transition metal (Mn) in low valence state 2+ /Mn 3+ /Ni 2+ Etc.) to a higher valence state (Mn) 4+ / Ni 3+ Etc.) which are themselves reduced to MnO 2 And MnO of 2 The manganese-rich composite material is also an active component of the lithium battery material, no additional impurity is introduced, and the finally formed high-valence manganese-rich layer with a certain thickness can effectively improve the contact stability of the material and electrolyte.
For example, when the method is used for coating lithium manganate material, the method provided by the application can eliminate Mn on the surface of lithium manganate 3+ The problem of high-temperature manganese dissolution of lithium manganate is reduced, and the high-temperature cycle performance of the material is improved.
When the material is used for coating ternary materials (particularly high-nickel materials), MnO can be formed on the surface of the material 2 Layer for effectively isolating a large amount of Ni appearing on the surface of the ternary material at the final stage of charging 4+ Resulting in side reactions with the electrolyte, enhancing cycle performance.
When used for coating a lithium-rich manganese-based material, MnO may be formed on the surface thereof 2 And the layer prevents the loss of active oxygen of the lithium-rich manganese material during the first high-voltage charging activation, and enhances the cycle performance.
Further, the method can also comprise the step of carrying out heat treatment for not more than 5 hours at the temperature of not more than 600 ℃ after cooling.
The temperature of the heat treatment can be 300-600 deg.C, such as 300 deg.C, 350 deg.C, 400 deg.C, 450 deg.C, 500 deg.C, 550 deg.C or 600 deg.C, and can be any other value within the range of 300-600 deg.C. In addition, it may be carried out at 200 ℃ or other temperatures within the above-mentioned range.
The time of the heat treatment may be, for example, 2 to 5 hours, such as 2 hours, 2.5 hours, 3 hours, 3.5 hours, 4 hours, 4.5 hours, or 5 hours, and may be any other value within the range of 2 to 5 hours. In addition, 1h or other time periods meeting the above range may also be processed.
Through the heat treatment process, the stability of the product can be further improved.
Correspondingly, the application also provides a lithium battery positive electrode material prepared by the preparation method.
The prepared lithium battery positive electrode material has a good coating effect and is beneficial to improving the cycle performance.
