具体实施方式
目前已有研究采用磷酸铁锂体系材料与三元体系材料混合作为正极材料,用以改善三元体系电池的安全性能和循环寿命。由于磷酸铁锂本身的结构稳定性优于三元材料,因此,在三元正极材料中微量混掺磷酸铁锂后可以提升电池材料体系的结构稳定性,也成为业内共识。但是,作为两类在结构和性质上都有很大差异的材料,若筛选和混配不当,轻则也易因正极的不良率高而导致电池的性能和质量不稳定,重则会导致正极材料体系以及电池综合性能反受损害。不良率的影响因素可能会多方面,例如,两种材料相容性不好而导致用于制备极片的混合浆料稳定性差,容易发生团聚,使得正极材料在极片活性物质层中的分布不均匀,进而恶化电池的电化学性能。
第一方面,本申请提出了一种混合正极材料,包括由磷酸铁锂化学体系材料和三元化学体系材料组成的混合组分,磷酸铁锂化学体系材料为低比表面积二次颗粒,比表面积平均值不超过10m 2/g的二次颗粒。在一些实施例中,磷酸铁锂化学体系材料为比表面积平均值不超过6m 2/g的二次颗粒。
颗粒非常细小时具有很大的比表面积,比表面积越大其表面能也就越大。表面能大的细小颗粒之间容易由于弱的范德华力和氢键等相互作用力结合在一起,发生团聚,也就是很多个细小颗粒二次组合,形成更大的二次颗粒,即,细小的一次颗粒经某种方式被团聚,即可称为二次颗粒。作为公知,颗粒的团聚方式可以分为软团聚或硬团聚,一般情况下,物理键合(如范德华力,氢键等分子间作用力等)引起的团聚为软团聚,化学键合引起的 团聚为硬团聚。使用机械力可以打开软团聚,但是很难打开硬团聚。所以,通常能称为二次颗粒的产品形式,应该是指通过某些人为手段对一次颗粒进行加工使之团聚而得到的产物。作为正极活性材料的组成之一,本申请的混合正极材料引入了主要以二次颗粒存在的磷酸铁锂化学体系材料,该二次颗粒能够稳定(不易被打开)是本申请所要求的,所以,本申请所使用的磷酸铁锂材料的二次颗粒也应该理解为上述经加工而团聚的材料颗粒。在具体的实施方案中,可以是指纳米级磷酸铁锂化学体系一次颗粒经硬团聚后得到的二次颗粒。
本申请中,混合正极材料中的磷酸铁锂化学体系材料主要是以二次颗粒的形式存在,在混合组分中不可避免掺杂少量一次颗粒等,均在本申请的保护范围内。
在本领域中,正极材料的化学体系是按照活性物质种类划分,对其掺杂或添加的辅料不作限定,例如,活性物质为磷酸铁锂(包括经元素掺杂的)的材料均可以定义为磷酸铁锂化学体系材料,活性物质为以镍钴锰酸锂体系(一般简称NCM)的材料、和镍钴铝酸锂体系(一般称NCA)为代表的材料,定义为三元化学材料体系。
通常情况下,磷酸铁锂化学体系颗粒与三元化学体系颗粒之间的比表面积具有明显差异,混合时很容易产生团聚。发明人经大量实验研究发现,采用比表面积平均值较小的磷酸铁锂化学体系二次颗粒,具体地,可以为不超过9m 2/g,不超过8m 2/g,不超过7m 2/g。进一步可以为不超过6m 2/g,不超过5m 2/g,不超过4m 2/g,不超过3m 2/g。当比表面积在上述的磷酸铁锂化学体系二次颗粒与三元化学体系材料混合时,可以避免在制浆过程中由于团聚问题导致的浆料粘度大,在正极极片上涂布不均等问题,从而提高了混合正极材料的加工的可行性。
本申请中,D vX定义如下:将颗粒按体积从小到大排列,并标号为1,2,3…n…,其中,第n个颗粒以及所有体积小于或等于第n个颗粒的颗粒体积之和占所有颗粒总体积的X%,则第n个颗粒的粒径值记为D vX。
D v50即为前n个颗粒体积之和占总体积50%时,所对应的第n个颗粒的粒径值,本申请用D v50表示中位粒度分布。D v10则指前n个颗粒体积之和占总体积10%时,所对应的第n个颗粒的粒径值。D v90则是指前n个颗 粒体积之和占总体积90%时,所对应的第n个颗粒的粒径值。
本申请中,二次颗粒的粒径分布越窄,D v90越小,D v10越大时,越有利于二次颗粒与三元化学体系材料的适配。例如,当二次颗粒的粒径分布满足:0.1≤D v50/(D v90-D v10)≤10,进一步地0.3≤D v50/(D v90-D v10)≤5,更进一步地0.5≤D v50/(D v90-D v10)≤1时,得到的混合正极材料,在制浆过程中,更有利于形成更加均匀的混合正极浆料。
当D v10过小时,有可能会出现小颗粒团聚的现象,当D v90过大时,又可能会堵塞锂离子电池浆料生产设备的滤芯,且无法和粒径较小的三元材料颗粒形成很好的填充和配合。在本申请的具体实施方式中,可以分别对D v10和D v90作进一步限定,控制粒径较小和粒径较大的颗粒的占比,从而可以对磷酸铁锂化学体系二次颗粒与三元化学体系材料的混合体系作进一步优化,例如,二次颗粒的粒径分布可以满足:D v10≥0.6μm,D v90≤30μm,比如D v10≥0.8μm,D v90≤25μm,进一步如D v10≥1μm,D v90≤20μm;D v10≥1.2μm,D v90≤25μm;D v10≥2μm,D v90≤22μm;D v10≥3μm,D v90≤18μm;D v10≥4μm,D v90≤15μm;D v10≥5μm,D v90≤12μm。
本申请的正极材料,当所引入的磷酸铁锂化学体系材料二次颗粒在满足较小比表面积同时,具有合适的中位粒度分布,更利于磷酸铁锂化学体系二次颗粒与三元化学体系材料的均匀混合,进而提高混合正极材料的加工性能。本申请的一些实施方案中,二次颗粒的中位粒度分布满足:2μm≤D v50≤9μm,例如,3μm≤D v50≤6μm,2μm≤D v50≤4μm,4μm≤D v50≤7μm,5μm≤D v50≤8μm,6μm≤D v50≤9μm。
通过控制组成LFP二次颗粒的一次颗粒的粒径,可以进一步提高由本申请的混合正极材料制备的锂离子电池的电化学性能。当一次颗粒平均粒径过小时,混合体系的存储性能和循环寿命较差,当一次粒子平均粒径过大时,混合体系低温性能和倍率放电性能较差。在本申请的具体实施方式中,组成二次颗粒的一次颗粒平均粒径分布d满足:20nm≤d≤800nm,例如,当控制d满足:300nm≤d≤500nm,进一步地300nm≤d≤350nm,350nm≤d≤400nm,400nm≤d≤450nm,450nm≤d≤500nm,使得三元化学体系材料不会由于LFP二次颗粒材料的引入,而导致动力学性能和低温性能恶化,同时,混合体系可以保证较好的长期寿命。
本领域技术人员可以理解,LFP二次颗粒的粉末电阻率会间接影响正极极片的电阻。因此,可以通过粉末电阻率对磷酸铁锂化学体系二次颗粒的性质进一步限定,例如控制磷酸铁锂化学体系二次颗粒的粉末电阻率不大于100Ω·cm。具体的,可以为:不大于80Ω·cm,不大于75Ω·cm,不大于70Ω·cm,不大于65Ω·cm,不大于60Ω·cm,不大于55Ω·cm,50Ω·cm,不大于45Ω·cm,不大于40Ω·cm,不大于30Ω·cm,不大于20Ω·cm,不大于10Ω·cm。本申请中,当磷酸铁锂化学体系二次颗粒的粉末电阻率在上述范围内变化时,可以有效调控正极极片电阻,从而利于保证锂离子电池的循环性能。
本申请中,可以通过调节混合正极材料中磷酸铁锂化学体系二次颗粒的含量,进一步优化电池性能。具体地,以混合组分的质量为100%计,控制磷酸铁锂化学体系二次颗粒的质量百分含量为20%-70%。例如20%-25%,25%-35%,35%-45%,45%-55%,55%-65%,65%-70%。本申请中,通过调节混合正极材料中磷酸铁锂化学体系二次颗粒的含量在上述范围内,可以进一步保证电池的能量密度和安全性能。
在本申请中,对化学体系材料的选择不作限定。例如,可以采用通式为LiFe 1-xM xPO 4的磷酸铁锂化学体系材料,其中,0<x≤0.1,M可以选自Cu、Mn、Cr、Zn、Pb、Ca、Co、Ni、Sr或Ti中的一种以上。
在本申请中,三元化学体系材料可以为镍钴锰酸锂化学体系材料和/或镍钴铝酸锂化学体系材料。例如,镍钴锰酸锂化学体系材料通式可以为LiNi xMn yCo 1-x-yO 2,其中,1>x>0,1>y>0,x+y≤0.95;镍钴铝酸锂化学体系材料通式可以为LiNi xCo yAl 1-x-yO 2,其中,1>x>0.6,0.4>y>0.1。
本领域技术人员公知,磷酸铁锂化学体系颗粒制备过程中会通过进一步实施对颗粒的碳包覆以提高正极材料的导电率。本申请中的磷酸铁锂化学体系材料可以是其中至少部分颗粒表面的至少部分区域形成有碳包覆。碳包覆的磷酸铁锂的制备方法例如参考专利申请CN101453030A,利用含有锂源、磷源和碳源的化合物反应体系,通过控制反应过程中的热力学和动力学因素,得到碳包覆的磷酸铁锂颗粒。可以理解,碳包覆的厚度以及均匀程度也会影响导电性,当所有颗粒表面的碳包覆厚度基本均匀一致时,其导电性最好。
在本申请的具体实施方式中,磷酸铁锂化学体系二次颗粒的制备方法如下:
(1)采用球磨机,将锂源、铁源、磷源化合物、任选的掺杂物及碳源均匀混合后在保护性气体下低温预烧结,得到预烧料。其中,磷源铁源可以选自磷酸铁、或者二水磷酸铁中的一种或者两种的组合,锂源为磷酸锂、碳酸锂、硝酸锂中的一种或者几种;碳源选自抗坏血酸、纤维素、聚丙烯、环氧树脂、蔗糖、葡萄糖、果糖、柠檬酸、聚乙二醇、淀粉、酚醛树脂中的1种或至少2种的组合,以上材料均为本领域常规原料,其添加比例只要能够实现本申请即可。
(2)将上述预烧料与分散剂、溶剂(去离子水或者甲醇)混合,用砂磨机进行超细磨,得到磷酸铁锂化学体系一次颗粒。在具体实施方式中,还可以在超细磨时加入少量碳源,以进一步提升后续烧结产物的导电性,同时增强包覆。
(3)将超细磨后的磷酸铁锂化学体系一次颗粒进行喷雾干燥,蒸发掉溶剂后形成单分散的微球,然后将上述微球在氮气保护气氛下烧结进一步反应(反应温度相对于预烧结温度稍有提高),得到磷酸铁锂化学体系二次颗粒。也可以通过进一步气相沉积,在磷酸铁锂二次颗粒表面进行进一步碳包覆,提升材料导电性。
本申请的混合正极材料,通过控制磷酸铁锂化学体系二次颗粒的比表面积,解决了三元化学体系材料与磷酸铁锂化学体系材料共混时的团聚问题,提高了混合正极材料的加工性能,实现浆料不易团聚,二种材料之间良好相容。浆料稳定性增强,浆料最长可放置时间增加,同时可过滤性能提升。当采用本申请的混合正极材料制备正极极片时,能够有效控制正极材料在正极极片上分布均匀,利于调节极片电阻的分布均匀性。
第二方面,本申请提出了一种正极极片,包括含有上述的混合正极材料的正极材料层。

参考标准:GB/T 10247-2008粘度测量方法,测试温度25℃
测试仪器:精度:±1%FS,博勒飞DV2T粘度仪;
原理说明:当转子(圆筒)在流体中持续旋转时,流体的粘性扭矩作用于转子(圆筒),在一定转速下,流体的动力粘度与扭矩成正比。
7、浆料固含量测试方法
称取一定量的锂离子电池浆料,于120-125℃干燥至质量恒定,干 燥后试样质量占原样质量的质量分数作为浆料的固含量。
作为示例具体流程如下:
(1)取充分搅拌均匀的浆料试样(3.0±0.2g)置于预先干燥并称量(称准至0.0002g)过的称量瓶中,迅速加盖,称量(称准至0.0002g),晃动摊平;
(2)打开瓶盖,将称量瓶和瓶盖放入预先鼓风并已经加热到120-125℃的干燥箱中,在鼓风条件下,干燥1h;
(3)从干燥箱中取出称量瓶,立即盖上盖在空气中冷却约3min后放入干燥器中,冷却至室温,称量;
(4)结果计算:固含量=(干燥后固体物总重量/干燥前浆料总重量)。
测试方法1-7均是基于正向的锂离子电池的制备过程所同步进行的测试,若对已经制备完成的锂离子电池进行测试,可以增加如下步骤:
1)电池拆解
a.电池满放到电压为2.0V的满放态;
b.在手套箱中拆解电池,并控制手套箱中湿度在2%以内;
c.分离出电池中的正极极片,然后用DMC(碳酸二甲酯)浸泡并充分洗涤掉正极极片上的电解液;
d.取出正极极片并置于真空干燥箱中,在80℃温度下干燥5h。
2)活性物质分离
a.将干燥的正极极片活性物质层和集流体分离;
b.将分离后的活性物质研磨至粉末状,并在加热条件下用NMP(N-甲基吡咯烷酮)溶解,然后过滤并收集滤渣,重复溶解过滤步骤,直至充分去除PVDF粘结剂;
c.将充分洗涤掉粘结剂的混合物过滤干燥。
d.导电碳分离
将干燥的混合物粉末分散于液体介质中(液体介质的密度大于1.2g/cm 3,例如,硝基苯,溴苯,四氯化碳等),搅拌使其基本均匀混合。静置足够长时间后,溶液分层,上层为导电碳,下层为活性物质材料。
3)磷酸铁锂化学体系材料和三元化学体系材料分离
原理:由于三元化学体系材料和磷酸铁锂化学体系材料密度差异较 正极材料和导电碳的差异要小,在分离三元正极材料和磷酸铁锂正极材料时,需要进一步利用二者表面润湿性能的差异:磷酸铁锂化学体系材料表面具有碳包覆,表面憎水;三元化学体系材料表面亲水较强。
具体步骤:
a.将下层的活性物质材料干燥,得到混合物粉末;
b.类似于煤的筛选过程,选用合适的液相介质(例如水,乙二醇或丙三醇等)和合适的浮选剂(例如脂油190,杂醇等),采用气泡浮选法进行分离。
具体步骤为:取1Kg混合物正极材料于液相介质中,调节至较为合适的固含量,加入浮选剂,搅拌产生气泡,收集上浮的泡沫,并洗涤干燥,即可得到磷酸铁锂化学体系材料;收集底部的浆液,并洗涤干燥,即可得到三元化学体系材料。
c.将分离后的三元化学体系材料和磷酸铁锂化学体系材料干燥后分别进行后续表征分析。
8、电池容量和电池能量密度的测试(注:当体系为纯磷酸铁锂体系时,充电截止电压为3.65V,放电截止电压为2.0V;当体系为纯三元化学体系或者混合有三元的化学体系时,充电截止电压为4.35V,放电截止电压为2.8V)
本申请中容量均表示为25℃下,以1/3C恒流(其中,充/放电电流为倍率乘以电芯额定容量,额定容量以该电芯、或该电芯所属电池模组或该电芯所属电池包的GBT认证文件中所认定的电芯容量为准)、在GBT认证文件所规定的工作电压区间内进行充放电,测得电芯容量,示例具体流程如下:
1)将电池置于25℃烘箱环境,静置2h,待电池温度保持25℃;
2)1/3C恒流放电到放电截止电压;
3)暂停5min;
4)1/3C恒流充电充电截止电压,继续恒压充电,直至充电电流小于0.05C后截止;
5)暂停5min;
6)1/3C恒流放电到放电截止电压(此步为实际电池测试容量,结合阴极活性物质质量,即可计算得到正极材料克容量发挥;通过电压-容量曲线 积分即可计算电池能量,能量值/电池重量值=电池质量能量密度)。
9、电池循环性能测试
容量衰减至初始值的80%时的循环圈数(注:当体系为纯磷酸铁锂体系时,充电截止电压为3.65V,放电截止电压为2.5V;当体系为纯三元化学体系或者混合有三元的化学体系时,充电截止电压为4.35V,放电截止电压为2.8V),具体流程如下:

下面通过具体实施例详细描述本申请:
实施例1
实施例1提出了一种混合正极材料、由其制备的正极极片以及锂离子电池。
(1)混合正极材料
实施例1的混合正极材料包括质量比大约为3:7的磷酸铁锂化学体系二次颗粒与的三元化学体系粉末组成的混合组分,具体组成参数见表1。
其中,磷酸铁锂化学体系二次粒的分子式为:LiFe 0.98Mn 0.02PO 4,比表面积平均值约为10m 2/g,D v50约为5μm,D v10约为1.5μm,D v90约为13.5μm,计算得到D v50/(D v90-D v10)=0.42,组成磷酸铁锂二次颗粒的一次颗粒粒径约为400nm。
三元化学体系粉末的分子式为LiNi 0.5Co 0.2Mn .0.3O 2,比表面积约为1.2m 2/g,D v50约为3μm。
实施例1的混合正极材料中还包括导电炭黑和PVDF,其中,混合组分与导电炭黑和PVDF按照质量比约为96.5:1.5:2。
(2)正极极片及其制备方法
将上述混合正极材料在大约为500r/min转速下混合,然后加入N-甲基吡咯烷酮(NMP),在大约为2000r/min转速下搅拌均匀。再用200目左右的过滤筛网进行过滤,得到粘度约为8000mPa·S的浆料,并测定浆料中的固含量。涂覆在厚度为13μm左右的铝箔上,然后蒸发去除NMP,并进行辊压、切片,得到压实密度约为3.1g/cm 3,涂布重量约为190g/m 2的正极极片,其SEM结果见图1。
图2为传统单晶523三元正极材料制备的正极极片的断面SEM图,虽然三元材料颗粒分布均匀,但是颗粒之间存在较多未填充空间。图3a和图3b为LFP材料二次颗粒正极极片的不同放大倍数的SEM图,同样地,虽然二次颗粒分布均匀,但是颗粒之间也存在较多未填充的空间。同时,二次颗粒内部存在大量纳米晶界,二次颗粒具有致密结构。
如图1所示,混合正极材料中的LFP二次颗粒与三元材料分布均匀且致密,没有发生团聚现象。另外,还可以看到LFP二次颗粒内部具有明显的纳米晶界。
(3)锂离子电池及其制备方法
依次将上述正极极片与隔离膜、负极极片叠合,然后卷绕得到裸电池,再经封装、注液、化成抽气得到锂离子电池,如图7所示,并测量其能量密度、循环性能,结果见表3、图5和图6。
图5示例了实施例1的锂离子电池的三次充放电循环的曲线图,是在相同的测试条件下,对同一个锂离子电池连续循环测试三次得到的,可以看出,三次充放电循环差别不大,三条曲线几乎重合,几乎没有容量衰减。
图6示出了实施例1的锂离子电池的循环容量保持率的衰减情况,两条曲线分别记录了两个锂离子电池的循环容量保持率的衰减情况,两次测试的衰减情况几乎相同,没有太大差异。从曲线趋势可以看出,实施例1制备的锂离子电池容量在前几圈具有上升趋势,主要是由于随着循环的进行,材料内部不断活化,电解液充分浸润,导致电池活化的因素大于使其衰减的因素,从而使容量得到提升。继续进行循环,由于容量衰减因素增加,大于活化因素,从而使电池容量不断衰减,但是衰减缓慢,直至循环到225圈,容量保持率仍然接近98%。从图6可以看出,实施例1的锂离子电池具有很好的循环性能。
实施例2-25
实施例2-25按照表1所示的具体成分与比例,采用实施例1所示的方法制备正极极片和锂离子电池。
实施例26
如图8所示,实施例26提供了一种装置,该装置为纯电动车、混合动力电动车、或插电式混合动力电动车等。为了满足该设备对锂离子电池的高功率和高能量密度的需求,可以采用由上述锂离子电池制备得到的电池包或电池模块。
实施例27
实施例27提供了一种移动设备,该移动设备可以是手机、平板电脑、笔记本电脑等。该设备通常要求轻薄化,采用上述锂离子电池作为电源。
对比例1
对比例1提出了一种混合正极材料、由其制备的正极极片以及锂离子电池。
对比例1与实施例2的区别仅在于,对比例1的LiFe 0.98Mn 0.02PO 4 二次颗粒比表面积平均值约为12m 2/g,组成LiFe 0.98Mn 0.02PO 4二次颗粒的一次颗粒粒径约为10nm,其他步骤和参数均相同。
对比例2
对比例2提出了一种混合正极材料、由其制备的正极极片以及锂离子电池。
对比例2与实施例2的区别仅在于,对比例2的LiFe 0.98Mn 0.02PO 4二次颗粒比表面积平均值约为17m 2/g,其他步骤和参数均相同。
对比例3
对比例3提出了一种混合正极材料、由其制备的正极极片以及锂离子电池。
对比例3与实施例2的区别在于,对比例3的混合正极材料包括质量比大约为3:7的磷酸铁锂化学体系一次颗粒与的三元化学体系粉末,LiFe 0.98Mn 0.02PO 4一次颗粒的比表面积约为16m 2/g,D v50约为1.1μm,D v10约为0.25μm,D v90约为18.5μm,其他步骤和参数均相同。
实施例1-25和对比例1-3的混合组分的具体参数见表1。
表1
Figure PCTCN2020119743-appb-000001
Figure PCTCN2020119743-appb-000002

表2
Figure PCTCN2020119743-appb-000003
测量实施例1-25与对比例1-3的正极极片电阻,以及包括正极极片的锂离子电池的能量密度、循环性能,结果见表3。
表3
Figure PCTCN2020119743-appb-000004
Figure PCTCN2020119743-appb-000005
对比例1-3在制备过程中,浆料无法连续稳定通过150目钢丝筛网,团聚的浆料在滤网一侧发生堵塞,无法完成过滤。除此之外,对混合前后浆料的粘度进行测试发现,浆料混合后,粘度明显上升,流动性明显变差,说明产生了较为严重的团聚现象。而实施例1-25在制备过程中,混合浆料可以连续稳定通过150目钢丝筛网,没有发生堵塞,说明没有发生团聚现象。同时测量浆料粘度,发现混合浆料的粘度与混合前相比,变化不大。
对比实施例1-6与对比例1-3的混合浆料固含量,可以看出,实施例1-6中的二次颗粒比表面积不大于10m 2/g,最终得到的混合浆料固含量远大于对比例1-3,分析原因,主要是因为实施例1-6的混合正极材料在制备过程中没有发生团聚,在较高的固含量下,仍具有较好的浆料稳定性和加工性能。而对比例1-3的混合正极材料在制备过程中,会发生团聚,当固含量提高时,团聚现象更加严重,因而最终制备得到的混合正极材料中的固含量也会 降低。低固含量浆料在涂布过程中易于产生膜片开裂和涂布厚度控制不均的问题,从而影响了电池能量密度和循环性能。尤其是,如对比例3所示,同时比较表2和表3,当混合材料采用纳米级磷酸铁锂一次颗粒时,混合浆料固含量只有46%,远小于实施例1-6的混合浆料固含量,严重影响了电池的能量密度和循环性能。
比较表3,对比实施例1-6和对比例1-2可看出,采用本申请实施例的LFP比表面积平均值,最终制备得到的锂电池的能量密度提高,最终在初始放电容量、首圈效率基本相同的情况下,容量衰减至初始值的80%时的循环圈数明显增加,远大于对比例的循环圈数,锂电池的循环性能明显增加。
对比实施例7-9和12-14和实施例10、11、15、16可以看出,D v50、D v10、D v90以及D v50/(D v90-D v10)的取值分布,对极片电阻率和循环寿命的均有影响。本申请实施例7-9和12-14的混合正极材料,D v50、D v10、D v90以及D v50/(D v90-D v10)的取值保证在合适的范围,最终制备得到的正极极片电阻值较低,在初始放电容量、首圈效率基本相同的情况下,容量衰减至初始值的80%时的循环圈数明显增加,说明合适的二次颗粒粒径分布对电池性能的影响很大。
比较实施例17-21和实施例22-24可以看出,混合正极材料的比例对正极极片阻值、锂电池的能量密度和循环性能均有较大影响。从实施例17-21可以看出,随着磷酸铁锂二次颗粒质量分数的增加,正极极片阻值降低,电池能量密度稍有降低,循环性能增加。实施例22-24可以看出,过量添加三元材料会使电池能量循环性能可能会受到影响,能量密度的提高有限。
综上,本申请的混合正极材料,通过控制磷酸铁锂化学体系二次颗粒的比表面积,解决了三元化学体系材料与磷酸铁锂化学体系材料共混时的团聚问题,提高了混合正极材料的加工性能,实现浆料不易团聚,二种材料之间良好相容。当采用本申请的混合正极材料制备正极极片时,能够使正极材料在正极极片上分布均匀,利于调节极片电阻值的分布均匀性,从而制备得到的锂离子电池具有更高的能量密度以及更好的循环性能。
