Figure 987981DEST_PATH_IMAGE002
From the results of examples 1 to 16, comparative examples 1 to 3 and figure 1, it can be seen that polyacrylonitrile is synthesized on the surface of the high-nickel material, so that the surface structure of the positive electrode material is stabilized, li/Ni mixed emission is reduced, and the cycle stability of the positive electrode material is improved. The Prussian blue sodium layer is further synthesized on the surface of the polymer layer, the surface residual alkali of the high-nickel anode material can be reduced, and the phase change process of the high-nickel anode material in the circulating process can be restrained on the other hand, so that the circulating stability of the high-nickel anode material is improved. After the prussian blue sodium is coated on the cobalt-free high-nickel cathode material, the special pore structure on the surface can ensure that the structure is damaged in the battery charging and discharging process, the special structure of the prussian blue material has a certain elastic mechanism and can effectively relieve the volume strain and improve the cycle performance, and on the other hand, the prussian blue base consumes the residual lithium on the surface of the cathode material to reduce the residual alkali.
From the results of the embodiments 1 to 16 and the comparative examples 1 and2, it can be seen that the polyacrylonitrile and the prussian blue sodium containing material layer are coated on the surface of the high nickel material, so that the cycle retention rate is improved, and the residual alkali of the material is reduced.
When the W value of the precursor used is too high, the precursor has the phenomenon of metal segregation, and the Li/Ni mixed discharge of the synthesized positive electrode material is seriously deteriorated in rate performance.
The comparison between the embodiment 1 and the embodiment 3 shows that the precursor has an excessively large Q value, many oxygen vacancies in the precursor, low particle strength, structural collapse caused by the high-temperature growth process of the material, and low bonding strength of the primary particles of the synthesized cathode material, and poor cycle performance. Compared with the embodiment 4, the embodiment 1 has the advantages that the crystal lattice deviation of the C axis of the synthesized positive electrode material is too large due to the fact that the Q value is too low, the crystal expansion is serious in the battery circulation process, and the circulation performance is poor.
The comparison between the examples 1 and 5 shows that the precursor W is too low, mn element is segregated, and the Mn element which plays a role in supporting the layered material can cause local structural instability due to segregation, so that the particle strength is integrally deteriorated, and the cycle performance is deteriorated. As can be seen by comparing example 1 with example 6, the precursor W value is too high, a large amount of MnOOH exists in the precursor, weakly coordinated oxygen atoms exist in the anode material synthesized in the later period, and the overall structure of the anode material is damaged in the later period circulation process, so that the circulation performance is deteriorated.
Comparison of example 1 with example 7 shows that too low a concentration of acrylonitrile is difficult to act as a solidified metal during polymerization, resulting in poor cycle life. Comparing example 1 and example 8, it can be seen that too high concentration of acrylonitrile results in too much polyacrylonitrile cross-linking on the surface of the precursor, resulting in poor reactivity of lithium salt with the cobalt-free precursor, and thus resulting in poor overall rate and cycle performance of the synthesized cathode material.
As can be seen by comparing example 1 with example 9, T 1 If the temperature is too high, acrylonitrile cannot be decomposed as soon as it is polymerized to solidify metal ions, resulting in poor cycle performance. Comparison of example 1 and example 10 shows that T 1 If the temperature is too low, acrylonitrile is not polymerized, and cannot play a role in solidifying metal ions, and the cycle performance is deteriorated.
Comparing example 1 with example 11, it can be seen that the addition amount of sodium ferrocyanide is too low, and the in-situ prussian blue sodium generated on the surface of the cobalt-free cathode material is thin and uneven, thereby causing the cycle performance to be poor, and comparing example 1 with example 12, it can be seen that the addition amount of sodium ferrocyanide is too high, and the in-situ prussian blue sodium generated on the surface of the cobalt-free cathode material is too much, thereby causing the lithium ion transmission channel to be blocked, thereby causing the rate performance to be poor.
From examples 13 to 16, it can be seen that the rate performance is changed with the increase of the c-axis deviation, which is that a weak fault and metal ion dislocation exist in the layered positive electrode due to the increase of the lattice deviation, so that a transmission channel of the synthesized positive electrode is blocked in the charging and discharging process, and when the c-axis deviation exceeds 0.2 a, but the polymer layer is in the mass ratio range of 0.01% -0.5%, and the prussian blue material layer satisfies 150nm to 300nm, the cycle and rate performance can still be improved, which indicates that the polymer and the prussian blue coating layer can effectively slow down the structural shrinkage damage caused by the lattice deviation, so that the cycle stability and the rate performance are improved.
