Description

Positive electrode material and determination method and application of stability of positive electrode material
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of lithium ion batteries, and relates to a positive electrode material, a determination method of stability of the positive electrode material and application of the positive electrode material.
Background
Lithium ion batteries are the third generation of small-sized secondary batteries following nickel-cadmium batteries and nickel-hydrogen batteries. As a novel chemical power supply, the novel chemical power supply has the outstanding advantages of high working voltage, large specific energy, stable discharge potential curve, small self-discharge, long cycle life, good low-temperature performance, no memory, no pollution and the like, can meet the double requirements of people on small-size and light-weight batteries required by portable electric appliances and is beneficial to environmental protection, and is widely used for small-size electronic devices such as mobile communication, notebook computers, shooting and placing integrated machines and the like, and is also an ideal power supply for electric vehicles in the future.
With alpha-NaFeO 2 The ternary materials of lithium nickel cobalt manganese and lithium nickel cobalt aluminum with the structure become one of the main positive materials of the lithium ion power battery due to the higher gram capacity and excellent dynamic performance.
The positive electrode material may be cracked or broken during the preparation of the electrode slurry due to the stirring and dispersing process, and the cracking and breaking may occur in a single positive electrode material particle or may occur between a plurality of different particles. The newly generated positive electrode material interface after the cracks and the breakage are generated does not undergo passivation when being exposed to sintering atmosphere at high temperature, and does not undergo solid phase reaction with the coating element or is coated by the coating element. Therefore, on one hand, a large number of dangling bonds are easy to generate on the new interface, and protons are easy to be extracted from the slurry; on the other hand, lithium ions are easily separated from the lithium layer, so that the acid-base property of the slurry is affected. Because PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) is mostly used as the positive electrode of the current lithium ion battery, and is easy to crosslink under the condition of too high pH, the positive electrode material with too many cracks or easy to dissociate is extremely easy to generate local or whole gel near the cracks and the breaking areas in the slurry production process, so that uneven components are caused, uneven areas appear in the subsequent pole piece preparation, and even the subsequent processing cannot be performed at all.
Lithium salts such as lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide are required in the production process of the ternary material. In order to obtain a product with more excellent performance, the sintering process in the production process often uses lithium salt with a stoichiometric ratio exceeding that of the sintering process so as to ensure that the final finished product cannot cause defects of low capacity, high impedance and the like due to the lack of lithium ions. Excess lithium salt remains on the surface of the ternary material, making the material alkaline. When preparing the positive electrode slurry, residual alkali on the surfaces can react with PVDF as a binder, so that partial or even whole gel is caused, and the positive electrode material, the binder and the conductive agent on the positive electrode plate are unevenly distributed, so that the subsequent battery manufacturing process cannot be carried out.
CN103392251a discloses a high nickel cathode material with low soluble alkali content, and the residual lithium salt on the surface of the material can be controlled to a certain extent by adjusting the manufacturing process, so as to achieve the purpose of regulating and controlling the alkalinity of the material. However, the dispersion of the positive electrode powder material is involved in the preparation of the positive electrode slurry, in which the materials are always under high-speed stirring, ball milling or collision. These processes can cause damage to the material such that the nascent surface of the material is exposed to the slurry, resulting in an increase in the alkalinity of the slurry, causing gelation.
CN107732199a discloses a fluorine-containing lithium ion battery positive electrode material, which is coated by a liquid phase coating and evaporating method, and the residual alkali on the surface is absorbed by a coating agent, but because the method is complex and inert gas is needed for protection in the evaporating process, if the residual alkali is high, the coating layer on the surface of the material is too thick, thereby affecting the performance of the material. Optimization for aqueous solutions is therefore a simple and low cost method of surface modification. LiOH and Li on the surface of the high-nickel positive electrode material can be washed by water 2 CO 3 And the lithium in the internal crystal lattice is dissolved into the aqueous solution after the material is washed by water in the washing process, so that the internal structure of the material is damaged, and the cycle performance of the material is seriously attenuated.
Therefore, how to improve the stability of the positive electrode material, so that the structure of the positive electrode material is not easily damaged in the process of preparing the positive electrode slurry, and the electrochemical performance of the material is improved is a technical problem to be solved.

The pH value difference of the positive electrode material provided by the invention before and after ball milling is less than or equal to 0.15, the stability is good, and the material has better processability and electrochemical performance. The positive electrode material provided by the invention can not cause local gel due to the stirring and dispersing processes in the preparation process of the slurry in the preparation process of the positive electrode slurry, and the prepared positive electrode sheet has lower sheet resistance and lower direct current impedance.
According to the invention, the dispersion process of the material can be simulated by ball milling, and the occurrence condition of cracks and breakage in the process can be examined by the difference of pH values before and after ball milling, so that the difference of the pH values can well reflect the stability of the material.
Preferably, n-m is less than or equal to 0.1, such as 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, 0.1, or the like.
In the invention, when the pH value difference of the positive electrode material before and after ball milling is further less than or equal to 0.1, the dissociation degree of the material particles is higher, and the broken soft agglomeration is less. The ternary positive electrode material with the characteristics can not generate a new interface in a long-term circulation process, and has good stability and high capacity retention rate.
Preferably, the ball milling time is 45-60 min, for example 45min, 46min, 47min, 48min, 49min, 50min, 51min, 52min, 53min, 54min, 55min, 56min, 57min, 58min, 59min or 60min, etc.
In the invention, the ball milling time is too short, so that the agglomerated crystal particles cannot be thoroughly broken, and the effect of detecting the agglomeration degree of the particles cannot be achieved. If the ball milling time is too long, single crystal particles may be cracked and broken, and the judgment result may be misled.
Preferably, in the ball milling, the acceleration of the ball milling is 65-75 m/s 2 For example 65m/s 2 、66m/s 2 、67m/s 2 、68m/s 2 、69m/s 2 、70m/s 2 、71m/s 2 、72m/s 2 、73m/s 2 、74m/s 2 Or 75m/s 2 Etc.
In the invention, the acceleration in the ball milling process is too small, so that the agglomerated crystal particles cannot be thoroughly broken, and the effect of detecting the agglomeration degree of the particles cannot be achieved. And the excessive acceleration can lead to breakage of monocrystalline particles and mislead the judgment result.
Preferably, in the ball milling, the volume-mass ratio of the ball milling beads and the positive electrode material is 200-250 mm 3 /g, e.g. 200mm 3 /g、205mm 3 /g、210mm 3 /g、215mm 3 /g、220mm 3 /g、225mm 3 /g、230mm 3 /g、235mm 3 /g、240mm 3 /g、245mm 3 /g or 250mm 3 /g, etc.
In the invention, the volume of the ball milling beads refers to the sum of the volumes of all the milling beads during ball milling. If the volume-mass ratio of the ball milling beads to the positive electrode material is too small, the agglomerated crystal particles cannot be thoroughly broken, and the effect of detecting the agglomeration degree of the particles cannot be achieved. The excessive mass ratio may cause breakage of monocrystalline particles and mislead the judgment result.

The median particle diameter of the positive electrode material provided by the invention is within the range of 1.5-4 mu m, and gram capacity exertion, direct current impedance and electrochemical stability can be considered. Excessive median particle diameter causes overlong diffusion path of lithium ions in particles, and affects gram volume exertion and impedance of materials; too small a median particle size results in a material with poor stability.

and ball milling is carried out on the positive electrode material to obtain a pH value m before ball milling, the difference value of the pH values n and n-m after ball milling is used as a judging condition, and the stability of the positive electrode material is judged.
The ball milling provided by the invention is performed by adopting planetary ball milling equipment, including double planetary ball milling and the like.
In the invention, when the pH value difference (n-m) before and after ball milling is smaller than or equal to 0.15, the stability of the positive electrode material is better, and when the pH value difference (n-m) is larger than 0.15, the stability of the material is poorer, so that the processing performance of the material in positive electrode slurry and positive electrode pole pieces is influenced, and the electrochemical performance of a battery is further influenced.
The method can regulate and control the preparation method of the positive electrode material according to the judging method provided by the invention, such as regulating and controlling the sintering temperature, element doping or cladding amount, or crushing condition and the like in the preparation process of the positive electrode material through the pH value difference value of the positive electrode material obtained through judgment, not only can improve the stability of the material, but also can enable the growth of single crystals or single-crystal-like particles of the material to be more complete, namely the judging method provided by the method provides a good auxiliary effect for the preparation of the positive electrode material, and the positive electrode material with good stability and excellent electrochemical performance can be obtained through the judging method provided by the invention.
According to the method, the occurrence condition of cracking and breaking of the material can be well simulated through the ball milling process, and the pH value difference before and after ball milling can be used for investigation, so that the pH value difference can well reflect the stability of the material, and therefore, the stability judging method of the positive electrode material provided by the invention has high accuracy, and the finally obtained result is very consistent with the stability matching degree of the positive electrode material.

In the invention, if the ball milling time is too short, the agglomerated crystal particles cannot be thoroughly broken, the effect of detecting the agglomeration degree of the particles cannot be achieved, and if the ball milling time is too long, the single crystal particles are possibly cracked and broken, and the judgment result is misled.
Preferably, in the ball milling, the acceleration of the ball milling is 65-75 m/s 2 For example 65m/s 2 、66m/s 2 、67m/s 2 、68m/s 2 、69m/s 2 、70m/s 2 、71m/s 2 、72m/s 2 、73m/s 2 、74m/s 2 Or 75m/s 2 Etc.
In the invention, if the acceleration in the ball milling process is too small, the agglomerated crystal particles cannot be thoroughly broken, the effect of detecting the agglomeration degree of the particles cannot be achieved, and if the acceleration is too large, the single crystal particles are possibly cracked and broken, and the judgment result is misled.
Preferably, the calculation formula of the acceleration of the ball mill is 4 ×pi 2 *r*f 2 And/3600, wherein r is the rotation radius of the ball mill, and f is the rotation speed of the ball mill.
Preferably, in the ball milling, the volume-mass ratio of the ball milling beads and the positive electrode material is 200-250 mm 3 /g, e.g. 200mm 3 /g、205mm 3 /g、210mm 3 /g、215mm 3 /g、220mm 3 /g、225mm 3 /g、230mm 3 /g、235mm 3 /g、240mm 3 /g、245mm 3 /g or 250mm 3 /g, etc.
Preferably, the calculation formula of the volume-mass ratio of the ball milling beads to the positive electrode material is 4/3 pi r 1 3 *n/m,r 1 And n is the number of ball milling balls, and m is the mass of the positive electrode material.
In the invention, the volume of the ball milling beads refers to the sum of the volumes of all the milling beads during ball milling. If the volume-mass ratio of the ball milling beads to the positive electrode material is too low, the agglomerated crystal particles cannot be thoroughly crushed, the effect of detecting the agglomeration degree of the particles cannot be achieved, and if the mass ratio is too high, the single crystal particles may be cracked and crushed, and the judgment result is misled.

In a third aspect, the present invention also provides a lithium ion battery comprising the positive electrode material according to the first aspect.
Illustratively, the present invention provides a method for preparing the positive electrode material, which comprises:
ni is added with x Co y M 1-x-y (OH) 2 Precursor bodyMixing with lithium salt (doping or cladding can be carried out), then heating and sintering, breaking jaw after sintering, and carrying out jet milling to obtain the anode material.
Ni x Co y M 1-x-y (OH) 2 The particle size and specific surface area of the precursor are not particularly limited, but in order to obtain a relatively good morphology of single crystal or single crystal-like, it is recommended to use a particle size satisfying the volume distribution 50% integrated value Dv50 of 2 to 7 μm and a specific surface area of 5 to 15m 2 Per gram of small particle precursor.
The lithium salt may be lithium carbonate or lithium hydroxide, and the molar ratio of the lithium salt to the precursor may be set to 0.95 to 1.1.
Other doping coating elements may be added during mixing, typically in the form of oxides. Such as zirconia, yttria, alumina, titania, magnesia, and the like. The mass ratio of the oxide corresponding to the non-oxygen element to the precursor is recommended to be 50-10000 ppm.
The mixing equipment used in mixing the precursor and the lithium salt can be a high-speed mixer or a coulter, and the mixing requires that all the mixed substances have a difference of <3% when the mass percentage of each element is compared by 4 random sampling.
The equipment used for the temperature-rising sintering needs to realize the function of temperature control and gas flow control. The form of the kiln can be a box type furnace or a roller kiln, and the roller kiln is generally recommended. And loading the mixed precursor, lithium salt and doping cladding agent into a sagger, and feeding the sagger into a furnace body to finish sintering.
The rate of temperature rise during sintering is not particularly required. In order to uniformly and jointly heat the precursor and the lithium salt and the doping coating agent loaded in the sagger, a heating rate of 3-10 ℃/min is recommended. Air or oxygen can be introduced into the furnace body in the heating stage to help discharge gas products such as water, carbon dioxide and the like generated by the reaction.
The constant temperature used in sintering depends on the ratio of the materials and the performance requirements of the materials. For materials with x being less than or equal to 0.5 and less than or equal to 0.75, the constant temperature is recommended to be selected within the range of 900-1200 ℃; for a material of 0.75< x <1, the constant temperature is recommended to be selected in the range of 750-1050 ℃. The sintering time at constant temperature is recommended to be 4-12 hours, and air or oxygen can be introduced into the furnace body at constant temperature stage to help discharge the gaseous products such as water, carbon dioxide and the like generated by the reaction.
The material block obtained after sintering is crushed by an air flow mill or a disc mill after jaw breaking. The air pressure and the frequency of the classifying wheel of the air flow mill are regulated so as to realize the crushing and the grain diameter control of the sintered materials. The recommended air pressure selection range is 0.2-0.9 MPa, and the grading wheel frequency is 20-50 rpm. If the proper particle size is larger than the particle size obtained by crushing, the air pressure used by the jet mill or the frequency of the classifying wheel should be reduced; if the suitable particle size is smaller than the resulting particle size, the air pressure or classifying wheel frequency used by the jet mill should be increased. The appropriate particle size and degree of crushing of the corresponding sintered material can be determined by the ball milling method described below in this patent.
Multiple sintering can be performed to obtain ternary positive electrode materials with more excellent performance. Taking the second sintering as an example, the product after the first sintering and crushing can be mixed with doping or cladding agents, and then kept at the constant temperature of 500-1000 ℃ for 3-10 hours. The specific conditions of the temperature rising rate and the gas charging are the same as those of the first sintering. An appropriate amount of lithium salt (the molar ratio of the lithium salt and the primary sintered product is recommended to be controlled between 0.5 and 1%) can be added simultaneously and mixed before secondary sintering. After sintering, the anode material can be directly packaged or subjected to one-round airflow crushing according to the properties of the material, and the anode material is obtained by adjusting the crushing parameters of an airflow mill.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects:
the positive electrode material provided by the invention has good stability and better processability and electrochemical performance when the pH value difference value is within a certain range before and after ball milling. The positive electrode material provided by the invention can not cause local gel due to the stirring and dispersing processes in the preparation process of the slurry in the preparation process of the positive electrode slurry, and the prepared positive electrode sheet has lower sheet resistance and lower direct current impedance. According to the battery provided by the invention, the diaphragm resistance of the positive electrode plate is as low as 769mΩ or less, the cell DCR is 8.7 Ω or less, the ball milling time is controlled within 45-60 min, the diaphragm resistance of the positive electrode plate is as low as 541mΩ or less, and the cell DCR is 6.5 Ω or less.
