Description

正极补锂添加剂及其制备方法、富锂正极、二次电池
本申请要求于2022年10月09日在中国专利局提交的、申请号为202211225960.9、发明名称为“正极补锂添加剂及其制备方法、富锂正极、二次电池”的中国专利申请的优先权，其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及材料技术领域，尤其涉及一种正极补锂添加剂及其制备方法，一种富锂正极，一种二次电池。
背景技术
锂离子电池因为具有工作电压高、循环寿命长、能量密度大、无记忆效应等优势，自1991年投入市场后，迅速实现了在移动通讯、笔记本电脑等领域的广泛应用。锂离子电池的能量密度和循环寿命与其首次库伦效率和负极固体电解质界面(SEI)膜的形成密切相关，在锂离子电池的首次充电过程中，负极表面形成的SEI膜会将大量的活性锂转化成碳酸锂、氟化锂和烷基锂，从而造成富锂正极的锂损失。在使用石墨作为负极的锂离子电池体系中，首次充电会消耗约10％的锂源；当采用高比容量的负极材料，例如合金类(硅、锡等)、氧化物类(氧化硅、氧化锡等)和无定形碳等作为负极时，正极锂源的消耗将加剧。
传统技术中，通过在富锂正极中添加补锂材料，能够有效补偿锂电池的首次不可逆容量损失。然而，在研究和实际应用中发现，传统的正极补锂添加剂存在表面结构稳定性差、残碱值较高的缺点，导致在电池匀浆时易发生果冻现象。另外，在充放电过程中因材料相变、产生热量等因素易产生大量的气体，导致结构不稳定继而引发一系列副反应的发生。因此亟需开发加工性能好、补锂效果好的正极补锂添加剂。

本申请实施例提供的正极补锂添加剂的制备方法的有益效果在于：将铁源、锂源和掺杂金属源按富锂铁系材料中元素化学计量比混合后，通过烧结处理，即可得到富锂铁系材料。然后，对富锂铁系材料进行还原处理，通过将部分富锂铁系材料还原成铁和锂的氧化物，便可在富锂铁系材料外表面原位生成致密的钝化材料，该钝化材料的化学式为aLi2O·bFexOy，其中，1≤x≤3，1≤y≤4，0.0001≤a≤0.01，0.0001≤b≤0.01。制备方法工艺简单，且在富锂铁系材料界面原位形成钝化材料，能够有效防止界面与环境中水和二氧化碳反应导致形成过多的残碱，进而改善补锂材料的耐湿和加工性能，提升电池循环性能。

本申请实施例第一方面提供一种正极补锂添加剂，该正极补锂添加剂包括：富锂铁系材料1和原位结合在富锂铁系材料1外表面的钝化材料；钝化材料的化学式为aLi2O·bFexOy，其中，1≤x≤3，1≤y≤4，0.0001≤a≤0.01，0.0001≤b≤0.01。
本申请实施例第一方面提供的正极补锂添加剂，包括富锂铁系材料1和结合在富锂铁系材料1外表面的钝化材料，其中，钝化材料的化学式为aLi2O·bFexOy，该钝化材料结合在富锂铁系材料1外表面，不但能够有效防止富锂铁系材料1界面与环境中水和二氧化碳反应导致形成过多的残碱，进而改善补锂材料的耐湿和加工性能，提高正极补锂添加剂的结构稳定性和性能稳定性，进而提高其对正极的补锂效果，提升电池循环性能；而且该钝化材料对载流子的迁移传输影响小。钝化材料中0.0001≤a≤0.01，0.0001≤b≤0.01，1≤x≤3， 1≤y≤4，其中，若a、b取值过大，则还原强度过高，导致活性成分降低，影响Li有效利用率发挥；若a、b取值过低，则形成的致密层有限，保护作用减弱；而若x/y比值越高，说明Fe被还原的越多，在富锂铁系材料1外表面结合的钝化材料越多。另外，正极补锂添加剂中富锂铁系内对正极材料有较好的补锂效果，能够及时补充材料在充放电循环过程中锂离子的损耗，从而提高正极材料的循环性能，提高电池使用寿命。
在一些实施例中，富锂铁系材料1的化学式为LicFedMeOf，其中，M选自Co、Ni、Mn、V、Cu、Mo、Al、Ti、Mg、Na、Ca、Zr、Si、Zn、Cr、P中的至少一种金属元素，1≤c≤6，0＜d≤0.99，0≤e≤0.1，1＜f＜4。其中，Fe主要起着稳定结构作用；d越大，Li5FeO4结构占主体，结构稳定性越好。M掺杂金属主要作用在于改善锂离子的体相传输，同时能够降低充电脱锂过程中释氧的氧活性。e越大，对锂离子的体相传输改善效果越好。c越大，实际应用中可脱出的锂离子越多，使得富锂铁系材料1的容量越高。
在一些实施例中，富锂铁系材料1的平均粒径为100nm～50μm；该粒径大小的富锂铁系材料1既使其有较好的补锂效果，而且有利于正极补锂添加剂与正极活性材料复合，提高其补锂效果。在一些具体实施例中，富锂铁系材料1的平均粒径包括但不限于100nm～1μm、1～10μm、10～20μm、20～30μm、30～40μm、40～50μm等。
在一些实施例中，钝化材料中铁离子的价态比富锂铁系材料1中铁离子的价态低，相对于富锂铁系材料1，低价态铁离子的钝化材料有更好的稳定性，起到钝化效果，防止富锂铁系材料1界面与环境中水和二氧化碳反应导致形成过多的残碱，提高正极补锂添加剂的结构稳定性和性能稳定性。
在一些实施例中，钝化材料可直接通过对富锂铁系材料1还原制得，在这 种情况下钝化材料中铁离子的低价态为富锂铁系材料1中铁离子相对应的还原价态。通过调节对富锂铁系材料1的还原条件，可灵活调控还原生成的钝化材料的量，从而调控钝化材料在富锂铁系材料1表面的结合效果。既可以在富锂铁系材料1表面还原生成部分钝化材料，也可以使还原生成的钝化材料在富锂铁系材料1表面形成完整的包覆层。在另一些实施例中，含低价态铁离子的钝化材料可以与富锂铁系材料1直接混合并经高温反应后，直接包覆于富锂铁系材料1外表面。
在一些实施例中，钝化材料包覆在富锂铁系材料1的外表面形成钝化层2，钝化材料在富锂铁系材料1外表面形成致密且均匀的包覆钝化层2，能够更有效的防止富锂铁系材料1界面与环境中水和二氧化碳反应导致形成过多的残碱，更好的改善补锂材料的耐湿和加工性能，提高正极补锂添加剂的结构稳定性和性能稳定性，进而提高其对正极的补锂效果，提升电池循环性能。
在一些实施例中，钝化层2中，钝化材料单独形成连续致密的包覆层；钝化效果好，可显著提高正极补锂添加剂的结构稳定性和性能稳定性。
在另一些实施例中，钝化层2中，钝化材料掺杂于其它包覆材料中共同形成致密的包覆层。钝化层2中，钝化材料掺杂碳材料形成致密的包覆层。通过在钝化层2的钝化材料中掺杂碳材料等材料，使得钝化层2具有较好钝化效果的同时能够提高钝化材料的导电性能。
在一些实施例中，钝化层2中，低价态的铁离子的浓度沿径向由内至外呈递增趋势。可以理解，可以采用还原气氛对富锂铁系材料1进行还原处理，以使得富锂铁系材料1外表面原位形成钝化层2。在该钝化层2中，钝化材料aLi2O·bFexOy并不是均匀分布的，与还原气氛接触越充分的富锂铁系材料1被还原的越充分。因此，沿径向由内至外，钝化材料的含量越来越富集，即低价 态的铁离子的浓度也越来越大，钝化层2也越来越致密。该实施例能够确保钝化层2的致密性，及对材料界面的钝化效果，保证材料界面相对环境的稳定性。
在一些实施例中，钝化层2的平均厚度为3～150nm；该厚度既能够有效避免生成残碱，维持富锂铁系材料1的结构稳定性和性能稳定性；又对载流子的迁移传输影响小。若钝化层2的平均厚度过高，则会影响富锂铁系材料1中活性成分及锂有效利用率的发挥；若钝化层2的平均厚度过低，则不利于提高富锂铁系材料1的结构稳定性和性能稳定性。在一些具体实施例中，钝化层2的平均厚度包括但不限于3～10nm、10～15nm、15～20nm、20～25nm、25～30nm、30～40nm、40～50nm、50～80nm、80～100nm、100～120nm、120～150nm等。
在一些实施例中，钝化材料的质量占富锂铁系材料1和钝化材料总质量的0.01～10wt％；正极补锂添加剂中该质量百分含量的钝化材料既能够有效避免生成残碱，维持富锂铁系材料1的结构稳定性和性能稳定性；又对载流子的迁移传输影响小。若钝化材料含量过低，则无法起到较好的保护；若钝化材料比例过高，则整体磁性较强，无法顺利应用于后端电池。该配比既确保了正极补锂添加剂的补锂效果，又能够有效维持正极补锂添加剂的结构稳定性和补锂稳定性，有利于提高正极材料及电池的循环性能。在一些具体实施例中，钝化材料的质量占富锂铁系材料1和钝化材料总质量的0.01～0.1wt％、0.1～1wt％、1～3wt％、3～5wt％、5～8wt％、8～10wt％等。
在一些实施例中，正极补锂添加剂还包括包覆在钝化层2外表面的导电层3，通过在钝化层2外面包覆导电层3，提高正极补锂添加剂的导电效果。其结构示意图如附图2所示。
在一些实施例中，导电层3包括石墨烯、碳纳米管、导电碳黑、导电石墨中的至少一种；这些碳材料均有较好的导电效果，能有效提高正极补锂添加剂 的电子传输效率。
在一些实施例中，导电层3的平均厚度为50～150nm；示例性的为60～120nm，示例性的为70～100nm，该厚度的导电层3能够有效提高电子传输效率。
在一些实施例中，正极补锂添加剂中，导电层3的质量百分含量为0.5～10wt％。该质量百分含量的导电层3能够有效提高电子传输效率。若导电层3质量百分含量过高，则降低了正极补锂添加剂中富锂铁系材料1的含量，从而会影响补锂效果；若导电层3质量百分含量过低，则对正极补锂添加剂导电性能的提升效果有限。在一些具体实施例中，正极补锂添加剂中导电层3的质量百分含量包括但不限于0.5～1wt％、1～2wt％、2～5wt％、5～8wt％、8～10wt％等。
如附图1所示，本申请实施例第二方面提供一种正极补锂添加剂的制备方法，包括以下步骤：
S10.按照富锂铁系材料1中元素化学计量比，将铁源、锂源和掺杂金属源进行混合处理，得到前驱体；
S20.对前驱体进行烧结处理，得到富锂铁系材料1；
S30.对富锂铁系材料1进行还原处理，在富锂铁系材料1外表面原位生成钝化材料；钝化材料的化学式为aLi2O·bFexOy，其中，1≤x≤3，1≤y≤4，0.0001≤a≤0.01，0.0001≤b≤0.01。

本申请上述实施例采用的锂源、铁源以及掺杂金属元素源，均有较好的溶解性，有利于通过液相烧结等处理方式制备富锂铁系材料1。
在一些实施例中，上述步骤S20中，对前驱体进行烧结处理采用液相烧结处理，液相烧结过程中有液相与固相颗粒共同存在，此时烧结温度高于烧结体中低熔成分或低熔共晶的熔点低于高熔点成分的熔点。由于物质液相迁移比固相扩散要快得多，烧结体的致密化速度和最终密度均大大提高。液相烧结处理 包括条件：在氧气浓度为0～1000ppm的气氛中，以100～400℃/h的升温速率升温至温度为350～900℃后反应10～20小时。其中，升温速率、温度条件、反应时长等有效确保了铁源、锂源和掺杂金属源等各原料之间的反应，各原料组分在高温条件下烧结反应生成富锂铁系材料1颗粒。
在一些实施例中，上述步骤S30中，对富锂铁系材料1进行还原处理的条件包括：在温度为350～900℃的还原气氛中处理0.1～8小时，使富锂铁系材料1界面的富锂铁系材料1部分还原成氧化锂和氧化铁，在富锂铁酸锂界面形成致密的钝化材料，从而防止界面与环境中水和二氧化碳反应导致形成过多的残碱，进而改善补锂材料的耐湿和加工性能，提高正极补锂添加剂的稳定性，提高其补锂效果，提升电池循环性能。
在一些实施例中，还原气氛中包括氢气、烃类气体、醇类气体、醚类气体、醛类气体、酮类气体中的至少一种还原气体；本申请实施例采用的这些氢气或气态分子的烃类、醇类、醚类、醛类、酮类等均具有还原性能，在一定的温度和气氛条件下均能够将富锂铁系材料1界面的富锂铁系材料1部分还原成氧化锂和氧化铁，在富锂铁酸锂界面形成致密的钝化材料。
在一些实施例中，还原气氛中，还原气体的体积百分含量为0.5～60％；该还原气氛能够有效确保对富锂铁系材料1界面层的还原，使富锂铁系材料1界面的富锂铁系材料1部分还原成氧化锂和氧化铁，在富锂铁酸锂界面形成致密的钝化材料。若还原气体含量过高，则会导致对富锂铁系材料1还原比例过高，降低正极补锂添加剂中补锂材料的占比，影响补锂效果。在一些具体实施例中，还原气氛中，还原气体的体积百分含量包括但不限于0.5～10％、10～20％、20～40％、40～60％等。
在一些实施例中，生成的钝化材料在富锂铁系材料1的外表面形成钝化层 2。
在一些实施例中，生成钝化层2后，还包括步骤：S40，将包括富锂铁系材料1和钝化材料的复合材料与导电材料混合后，进行加热处理，在复合材料表面原位生成导电层3。本申请实施例在复合材料表面制备导电层3有利于提高正极补锂添加剂的电导性能。
在一些实施例中，导电材料包括碳源、半碳化碳源中的至少一种。在一些具体实施例中，碳源包括有机碳源和无机碳源，其中，有机碳源包括葡萄糖、蔗糖等，也可以是其他种类的有机糖类，通过对有机碳源的热解，对钝化材料表面进行包覆形成导电碳包覆层。无机碳源包括石墨烯、导电碳纤维、碳纳米管等。在一些实施例中，碳源同时包括有机碳源和无机碳源，有机碳源热解的过程中夹杂了导电效果更好的无机碳源，从而降低了导电层3碳含量，提高导电效果。在一些实施例中，半碳化碳源是指通过对碳源在惰性气氛中高温处理一段时间使部分碳源碳化，在半碳化碳源表面形成羟基、羧基等活性官能团，这些活性官能团，可以与复合材料中Fe-O之间形成更好的键合，结合效果更好，从而更好的提高正极补锂添加剂的结构稳定性。
在一些实施例中，导电层3包括石墨烯、碳纳米管、导电碳黑、导电石墨中的至少一种。
在一些实施例中，加热处理的条件包括：在温度为300～400℃的惰性气氛中热处理2～6小时；使导电材料在复合材料表面形成导电包覆层。
在一些实施例中，正极补锂添加剂中，富锂铁系材料1、钝化材料和导电层3的质量比为(93～99)：(0.01～1)：(0.5～8)；其中，富锂铁系材料1作为内核主要提供容量，比例过低则可提供的活性锂较低；比例过高则钝化不足，或者导电性不足，无法较好的完成脱锂过程；钝化材料过低则无法起到较 好的保护；比例过高则整体磁性较强，无法顺利应用于后端电池；导电层3比例过低则无法提供完整导电性，比例过高则占用无效的质量。正极补锂添加剂中，富锂铁系材料1、钝化材料和导电层3的该配比，既确保了添加剂的补锂效果，又能够有效维持添加剂的结构稳定性和补锂稳定性，且导电效果好，有利于提高正极材料及电池的循环性能。
在一些实施例中，富锂铁系材料1的平均粒径为100nm～50μm；该粒径大小的富锂铁系材料1既使其有较好的补锂效果，而且有利于正极补锂添加剂与正极活性材料复合，提高其补锂效。
在一些实施例中，钝化层2的平均厚度为3～150nm；该厚度既能够有效避免生成残碱，维持富锂铁系材料1的结构稳定性和性能稳定性；又对载流子的迁移传输影响小。
在一些实施例中，导电层3的平均厚度为50～150nm；示例性的为60～120nm，示例性的为70～100nm，该厚度的导电层3能够有效提高电子传输效率。

②从手套箱中取出0.3-0.5g样品，每次取一个样品，测试完再从手套箱取下一个样品；
③将称量瓶置于十万分之一精度分析天平中，关闭舱门，清零；
④称取0.17-0.19克的待测样品于容器中，用勺子把物料摊开，使摊开的面积尽量薄而均匀，以保证测试面积不影响材料的吸水率，关闭舱门，稳定3-5s打开计时器，记录分析天平质量作为0min的数值。接下来分别记录5，10，15，20min数值，计算10-20分钟的平均吸收数据，计算含包覆层的含锂内核的吸水率。
