Description

Preparation method of zirconium-doped ternary cathode material, ternary cathode material and application of ternary cathode material
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the lithium ion battery technology, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a zirconium doped ternary positive electrode material, a ternary positive electrode material and application of the ternary positive electrode material.
Background
In recent years, nickel-rich ternary materials have received attention due to their relatively high reversible capacity. However, the nickel-rich ternary material has the problems of lithium-nickel mixed discharge, structural phase transformation, microcracking, oxygen loss and the like. These problems can lead to capacity degradation of the electrode material and thermal effects of the battery. In order to ameliorate the above problems, many effective solutions have been explored, and electrolyte optimization, surface coating and metal ion doping have proven to be viable strategies. The metal ion doping introduces ions with different valence states into a crystal lattice, such as K +、Mg2+、Ga3+、Al3+、Zr4+、Ti4+、Nb5+, and different metal ions can occupy different crystal positions, so that the structural stability of the material is improved.
Therefore, the metal ions with the radius larger than that of Ni 2+、Co3+、Mn4+ ions can be doped to occupy part of lithium positions, so that the Ni 2+ can not occupy lithium positions in the charging and discharging process, and meanwhile, the unit cell parameters and the interlayer spacing of the positive electrode material are further enlarged, and the stability of the nickel-rich ternary material is improved.
As the ionic radius of Zr 4+ is larger than that of Ni 2+、Co3+、Mn4+, zirconium is doped in the ternary positive electrode material, the distance between lithium layers can be increased, the diffusion of Li + is promoted, in addition, the free energy of a migration structure of Zr 4+ is lower than that of Ni 4+, zr 4+ is easier to migrate to the lithium layer, strong electrostatic repulsion is generated between Zr 4+ and Ni 4+ after the Zr 4+ exists in the lithium layer, migration of Ni 4+ to the lithium layer is prevented, and lithium nickel mixed discharge is reduced. Therefore, zirconium doping can be selectively carried out on the ternary positive electrode material so as to improve the stability of the ternary positive electrode material.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to improve stability of a ternary positive electrode material, the invention aims to provide a preparation method of a zirconium doped ternary positive electrode material, the ternary positive electrode material and application thereof.
According to the stoichiometric ratio of each element in the zirconium-doped ternary positive electrode material, a soluble nickel salt, a soluble cobalt salt and a soluble salt containing M element are adopted to prepare a first precursor through a first coprecipitation reaction, the first precursor contains nickel element, cobalt element and M element, wherein the M element comprises at least one of manganese element and aluminum element, S2, a zirconium-containing compound is deposited on the surface of the first precursor through a second coprecipitation reaction to obtain a second precursor, and S3, the second precursor is mixed with a lithium source according to the stoichiometric ratio of each element in the zirconium-doped ternary positive electrode material to obtain a third precursor, and the third precursor is calcined through a high-temperature solid phase method, so that the zirconium-doped ternary positive electrode material is prepared.
The conventional zirconium doping method comprises the following three steps of firstly carrying out zirconium doping through ball milling after preparing a precursor, secondly carrying out zirconium doping through stirring in an ethanol solution after preparing the precursor, and thirdly carrying out coprecipitation reaction by adopting a mode of feeding nickel cobalt manganese main element and doping element zirconium simultaneously to prepare the zirconium doped ternary cathode material precursor. The applicant finds that the preparation of the precursor by ball milling only allows zirconium to be doped on the surface of the material and the zirconium to be unevenly distributed, while for the second preparation scheme, doping zirconium in an ethanol solvent consumes a large amount of ethanol, which not only increases the preparation cost, but also allows the prepared precursor to absorb moisture, which results in easier oxidation of the precursor, and for the scheme of simultaneous feeding, the nickel cobalt manganese zirconium four elements are simultaneously fed for precipitation, the arrangement of zirconium in the ternary cathode material cannot be controlled, and the structure of the prepared precursor has higher uncertainty.
In the invention, a first precursor with a certain size is formed through a first coprecipitation reaction, the formed first precursor has a sheet structure, then a zirconium-containing compound is attached to the sheet structure on the surface layer of the first precursor through a second coprecipitation reaction to obtain a second precursor, and then the zirconium element attached to the surface of the second precursor is subjected to ion solid phase migration through a high-temperature calcination solid phase reaction to finish doping of the zirconium element in the ternary positive electrode material. Compared with the existing doping method, the preparation method provided by the invention can not only effectively improve the uniform distribution of zirconium in the ternary cathode material doped by the zirconium element, but also improve the controllability of the doping amount of the zirconium element so as to improve the quality stability, the product cycle characteristics and the discharge specific capacity of the zirconium doped ternary cathode material.

s3, strictly keeping the same operation as the S3 in the embodiment 3, and preparing the ternary positive electrode material.

Test example 3
1. Test object
Batteries were prepared and tested using the ternary cathode materials prepared in example 3 and comparative examples 1 to 4, specifically according to the method provided in test example 1.
2. Test method
Stability test the preparation methods described in example 3 and comparative examples 1 to 4 were repeated three times, the prepared ternary cathode materials were correspondingly marked as sample 1, sample 2 and sample 3, the prepared samples were respectively prepared into batteries, zirconium doping amounts, capacity retention rates and specific discharge capacities of the different samples were tested, and then variances of the measured data were respectively calculated, and the smaller variances indicated that the corresponding preparation methods were higher in repeatability.
Zirconium doping amount and cyclic charge and discharge test were tested according to the method provided in test example 1.
3. Experimental results and analysis
As shown in the data of the table 4 and the table 5, the stability experiment shows that the ternary cathode material prepared in the example 3 has higher repeatability and higher capacity retention rate, and the preparation method of the example 3 has higher repeatability and higher stability. This is because the doping process of example 3 is high in stability and zirconium element can be uniformly dispersed in the prepared ternary cathode material. However, as can be seen from the data in Table 5, the variance values of comparative examples 1 to 4 are larger, which means that the experimental repeatability of comparative examples 1 to 4 is lower, and the cyclic charge-discharge experiment shows that the experimental data of comparative examples 1 to 4 fluctuate more. This is probably because there are cases where the dispersion of the zirconium element is not uniform, and this dispersion is not controllable, thereby affecting the stability of the electrode material and the battery. In addition, the discharge specific capacity was less stable for comparative example 3, since the preparation of the ternary cathode material using ethanol caused the precursor to absorb moisture, thereby causing the precursor to be more easily oxidized. The preparation method provided in comparative example 4, however, has a large fluctuation in data of capacity retention rate and specific discharge capacity measured each time due to poor quality control, which is caused by low structural stability of the prepared ternary cathode material.
