Definitions
- the present invention relates to olivine lithium manganese iron phosphate cathode materials for lithium batteries and to methods for making such materials.
- Lithium batteries are widely used as primary and secondary batteries for vehicles and many types of electronic equipment. These batteries often have high energy and power densities.
- LiFeP04 is known as a low cost material that is thermally stable and has low toxicity. It can also demonstrate very high rate capability (high power density) when made with a small particle size and a good carbon coating. For these reasons, LiFeP04 has found use as a cathode material in lithium batteries. However, LiFeP04 has a relatively low working voltage (3.4V vs. Li+/Li) and because of this has a low energy density relative to oxide cathode materials.
- the working voltage and therefore the energy density can be increased by substituting manganese for some or all of the iron to produce a lithium manganese iron phosphate (Li a MnbFe(i b)P04 (LMFP)) cathode, without a significant sacrifice of power capability.
- LMFP lithium manganese iron phosphate
- structural stability and charge transport are adversely affected by replacing iron with manganese, and the specific capacities obtained have fallen significantly short of theoretical levels. Energy and power densities also are disappointingly low.
- battery cycling performance for LMFP electrodes often is less than desirable, due to a loss of capacity with cycling.
- olivine lithium transition metal phosphate electrode materials by adjustments to the stoichiometry, i.e., the ratios of lithium, manganese, iron and the phosphate ions. Electrode materials containing an excess of lithium have been described, for example, in WO 2009/144600 and USP 7,842,420. Adding certain "dopants", i.e., metals other than lithium, manganese and iron, also has been suggested in LMFP electrode materials having low manganese contents.
- This invention is in one aspect a cathode material comprising an electroactive material having the empirical formula LiaMnbFecDdPC , wherein
- a is a number from 0.85 to 1.15;
- b is from 0.65 to 0.95;
- c is from 0.049 to 0.349
- d is from 0.001 to 0.1;
- V is the valence of D
- D is a metal ion selected from one or more of magnesium, calcium, strontium, cobalt, titanium, zirconium, molybdenum, vanadium, niobium, nickel, scandium, chromium, copper, zinc, beryllium, lanthanum and aluminum, and further wherein at least a portion of the electroactive material has an olivine structure.
- the invention is also a nanocomposite containing at least 70% by weight of a particulate electroactive material of the invention with up to 30% by weight of graphite, carbon black and/or other conductive carbon.
- the LMFP cathode materials of the invention provide enhanced cycle life while retaining good specific capacity and good high rate performance.
- the invention is a method for making an olivine lithium manganese iron phosphate cathode material, comprising
- the mole ratio of lithium ions to H X P04 ions is 0.85 to 1.15;
- the mole ratio of manganese ions to H X P04 ions is 0.65 to 0.95;
- the mole ratio of iron ions to H X P04 ions is 0.049 to 0.349;
- the mole ratio of dopant metal ions to H X P04 ions is 0.001 to 0.10; and the mole ratio of lithium, manganese, iron and dopant metal ions combined to H x P0 4 ions is such that (2.75 x Moles H x P0 4 ) ⁇ [moles Li + (2 x Moles Mn) + (2 x Moles Fe) + (2 x Moles Dopant Metal)] ⁇ (3.10 x Moles H x P0 4 );
- Cathode materials made in accordance with the invention offer several important advantages over conventional high-manganese LMFP cathode materials.
- One important advantage is cycle life.
- the cathode materials formed in accordance with the invention have been found to exhibit excellent cycle lives. Lithium batteries containing cathodes made from these materials tend to retain specific capacity very well over many charge/discharge cycles. Importantly, this high specific capacity often is seen even at high discharge/charge rates.
- a second important advantage is that those batteries often exhibit high energies, due to a combination of high capacities and high operating voltages.
- Another significant advantage is that batteries containing these electrodes are capable of high charge rates.
- the Figure is a graph showing the specific capacity versus number of cycles for several embodiments of the invention and for several comparative samples.
- Cathode materials of the invention preferably are made in a milling process, in which the various precursor materials described herein are milled together, followed by a calcining step.
- the milling step intimately mixes the precursors and in most cases reduces their particle size. Some reaction of the precursors may occur during the milling step, although it is believed that the final olivine structure does not fully develop until the calcining step is performed. Dry or wet milling methods can be used, as described more fully below.

- the cathode material preferably is formed during the milling and calcining processes into particles that may have flake-like, rod-like, spherical, or other morphologies and preferably have primary particle sizes of 200 nm or below. Primary particles sizes are conveniently measured by scanning electron microscopy. Aggregate sizes are conveniently measured by light scattering methods.
- the lithium transition metal olivine produced in the process is useful as an electrode material, particularly as a cathode material, in various types of lithium batteries, especially secondary (rechargeable) batteries. It can be formulated into electrodes in any convenient manner, typically by blending it with a binder, forming a slurry and casting it onto a current collector.

- Secondary batteries containing a cathode which includes electroactive material of the invention exhibit unexpectedly good capacity retention upon battery cycling (i.e., subjecting the battery to repeated charge/discharge cycles), while retaining specific capacity and rate performance.
- the good capacity retention correlates to long battery life and more consistent performance of the battery as it is repeatedly charged and discharged. This good capacity retention is seen at ambient temperature (20-25°C) and at somewhat elevated temperatures (40- 50°C) as are often produced during the operation of an electrical device that contains the battery (and to which energy is supplied by the battery).

Current tabs are welded onto the electrode sheet, the separator is sandwiched between the electrode sheets, and the sandwiched layers are sealed under vacuum in an aluminum laminated film bag filled with electrolyte (1.15 M LiPF6 in ethylene carbonate/ethylmethylcarbonate (1:3 volume ratio) + 2% vinylidene carbonate).
- the anode/cathode capacity ratio is kept between 1.1— 1.2 to prevent lithium plating on to the anode and for good cycling performance.

- Lithium batteries containing cathodes containing the electroactive material of the invention also exhibit good specific capacity, which is often close to theoretical. Specific capacity is measured using half-cells at 25°C on electrochemical testing using a Maccor 4000 electrochemical tester or equivalent electrochemical tester, using in order discharge rates of C/10, 1C, 5C, IOC and finally C/10.

- Examples 1-3 and Comparative Samples A-D are prepared using a solid state process as described in WO 2009/144600.

- the electrodes are given the same designations as the respective electroactive materials they contain (as indicated in Table 1 above).
- Half cell specific capacities are measured at 20 °C at C/10 discharge rate. Newly made cells are cycled using a CC/CV charge protocol with 2 cycles at C/10 charge/discharge, followed by subsequent cycles at varying C-rates. Full cell cycle life is measured at elevated temperature (50°C) at 1C/1C charge/discharge with CC/CV charging from 2.7 to 4.2V. Two formation cycles are done at room temperature (20°C) at C/10 charge/discharge over the same voltage range prior to placing the cells at elevated temperature. Full cell cycle life results are indicated graphically in the Figure.
- reference symbols A, B, C, D, 1, 2 and 3 represent the results obtained with the corresponding sample designation.
- the top portion of the Figure shows measured capacity (in mAh/g) plotted against the number of charge/discharge cycles.
- the bottom portion of the Figure shows the capacity retention, i.e., the percentage of the original capacity of each of the tested electrodes.
- Examples 1-3 are far superior to any of the Comparative Samples in retaining capacity over many charge/discharge cycles. Although these electrodes show a lower specific capacity initially, they retain much more of their capacity as the cell is cycled.
- Example 1 retains about 83% of its initial specific capacity
- Example 2 retains 90% of its initial capacity
- Example 3 retains only about 78% of its initial capacity.
- Examples 1-3 are equivalent even in absolute terms to the best of the Comparative Samples. Due to the superior capacity retention exhibited through the first 168 cycles Examples 1-3 are expected upon additional cycling to exhibit higher specific capacities in absolute terms than any of the Comparative Samples.
- Comparative Samples B, C and D each has an excess of lithium (a>l) but are not doped.
- the electrode made using these material loses capacity quite rapidly upon charge/discharge cycling, and demonstrates that increasing the amount of lithium by itself provides little benefit.

- the dopant metal precursor is magnesium acetate and/or cobalt acetate.
- 85% Phosphoric acid is slowly metered by a pump into the mix tank. Carbon dioxide becomes liberated as the phosphoric acid reacts with the manganese carbonate.
- the slurry is given about 30 minutes to mix to allow the carbon dioxide to continue to off gas. Then, lithium hydroxide monohydrate (solid) is added to the mix tank. The slurry goes through a viscous phase as the lithium hydroxide mixes with the solids. The LiOH addition is exothermic and the temperature rises to 55-60°C.
- the slurries are milled with a series of two mills.
- the materials are first loaded into a Centex disk style mill.
- the milling media size is approximately 0.7-0.9 mm in diameter.
- cellulose acetate powder is loaded.
- Aminopropanol and citric acid are added to control viscosity.
- the milling is continued until the particles are reduced to less than 40 microns.

- the milled samples are spray dried at 170°C to agglomerate the small particles into micron sized balls having diameters of up to about 20 microns.
- the spray dried particles contain approximately 5% water.
- the spray dried particles are calcined under an atmosphere containing ⁇ 100 ppm oxygen.
- the particles are heated from room temperature to 400°C over three hours and held at 400°C for one hour.
- the temperature is then increased to 650°C over two hours and held at 650°C for three hours.
- CO, CO2, H2O, acetic acid and tars are given off throughout the calcination process.
- the particles are then cooled to below 60°C and sieved through a 44 micron sieve.
- Half and full cell battery for Examples 4-8 and Comparative Battery E are assembled.
- the anode in each case is lithium (in the case of a half cell) and a commercially available graphite (in the case of a full cell), the anode/cathode capacity ratio is 1.1 to 1.2 for the full cells, and the total cathode density is 1.4-1.6 g/cm 3 .
- a commercially available separator is used with an electrolyte of a 1.15 molar LiPF6 solution in a 1:3 by weight mixture of ethylene carbonate and ethylmethylcarbonate that also contains 2% by weight vinylidene carbonate.
- Discharge energies at 1/lOC, 1C and 5C discharge rates are measured at 25°C on each of half cell (lithium anode) using 2025 coin cell configurations.
- the cells were charged using a constant current (1/10 C-rate) to 4.25V, and then held at constant voltage of 4.25 until the current decays to C/100.
- the discharge is done at constant current (varying with different c-rates) with a voltage cutoff of 2.7V.
- the discharge energy is calculated as the product of the integrated capacity vs. voltage. Results are as indicated in Table 4.
- Pouch cell configurations consisting of a single-side coated cathode and anode with a separator encased in a sealed pouch with electrolyte. Two formation cycles are done at room temperature, consisting of a constant current charge at 1/10 C-rate to
- Examples 4, 6, 7 and 8 all retain at least 80% of their initial capacity for 325 to 350 cycles at 50°C, 1C/1C cycling.
- Example 5 retains about 92.5% of its initial capacity only up to 250 cycles.
- Table 4 demonstrate the advantage of selecting the value of a + 2b + 2c + dV slightly below 3.00.
- Example 5 which has both excess lithium (a>1.0) and is Co doped but has an a + 2b + 2c + dV of 3.05, shows a greater loss of capacity at higher discharge rates and a faster loss of capacity on cycling than do the other examples, in which a + 2b + 2c + dV ⁇ 3 and has both Mg and Co doping.
- Comparative Example E which does not have any doping, exhibits poor cycle life, and can retain 80% of its capacity for fewer than 250 cycles.
- Olivine LMFP particles having the formulae indicated in Table 5 below are made using the process described for Examples 1-3.
