High nickel lithium-containing metal oxides are commonly used in the prior art as positive electrode materials to increase battery capacity. However, since the surface of the high-nickel lithium-containing metal oxide is rich in defects and has high content of highly oxidative transition metal elements Ni, co, mn, etc., side reactions with the electrolyte are serious, so that the contact interface structure is easily damaged, the transition metal elements Ni, mn, co, etc., are easily dissolved out and deposited to the anode, resulting in an increase in the internal resistance of the battery, thereby causing serious cycle capacity failure of the battery and reducing the cycle performance of the battery. In addition, the high-nickel lithium-containing metal oxide has an unstable surface structure under the catalysis of electrolyte, is easy to release oxygen and is accompanied with heat release phenomenon when being extruded or at high temperature, is easy to cause thermal runaway of a battery core, and can cause safety accidents seriously. Although the conventional coating layer treatment can improve the cycle performance and the safety performance to some extent, the improvement range is limited, and it is difficult to meet the market demand for a new generation of battery.
[ Composite cathode Material ]
Based on this, the application proposes a composite positive electrode material comprising: a lithium-containing metal oxide and a coating layer arranged on at least one part of the lithium-containing metal oxide, wherein the coating layer is a carbon composite ferric manganese vanadium lithium phosphate material, the general formula of the ferric manganese vanadium lithium phosphate material is shown as formula I,
LiFe a1Mn b1V c1M2 d1PO 4, formula I
Wherein a1 is more than or equal to 0.1 and less than or equal to 0.8,0.1, b1 is more than or equal to 0.45,0.07, c1 is more than or equal to 0.3, d1 is more than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 0.01, and M2 is one or more selected from Ni, co, ti, al.
In some embodiments, the carbon-composited lithium iron manganese vanadium phosphate material is a composite material comprising carbon and a lithium iron manganese vanadium phosphate material. It will be appreciated that the carbon and lithium iron manganese vanadium phosphate material may be composited in any manner, such as physical mixing, chemical compositing, and the like. Specifically, the carbon and the lithium iron manganese vanadium phosphate material can be compounded in the modes of stirring, grinding, ultrasonic treatment, in-situ growth, grafting, coating and the like.
In some embodiments, 0< d2.ltoreq.0.01, one or more of Ni, co, ti, al are included in the carbon-composited iron-manganese-vanadium-lithium phosphate material.
The lithium iron manganese vanadium phosphate material has the advantages of good stability, high potential and high multiplying power. The surface of the lithium-containing metal oxide can be protected by using the lithium-containing metal oxide as a coating layer, and the stability of the surface of the lithium-containing metal oxide and the interface between the lithium-containing metal oxide and the electrolyte can be improved. The composite positive electrode material prepared by coating the lithium-containing metal oxide with the carbon composite ferric manganese vanadium lithium phosphate material can improve the cycle capacity retention rate of the battery at normal temperature and high temperature, reduce the unit capacity gas production volume of the battery at high temperature, namely improve the cycle performance, the storage performance and the safety performance of the battery, and meanwhile, the capacity performance of the battery can not be greatly reduced by the coating layer, and the battery taking the composite positive electrode material as the positive electrode still has excellent capacity performance and initial electricity buckling effect.
In some embodiments, the mass content of the coating layer is 0.1% to 10% based on the total mass of the composite positive electrode material. In some embodiments, the coating is 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9% by mass.
Too high a mass content of the coating layer may result in too low a mass content of the lithium-containing metal oxide, and a decrease in battery capacity. The mass content of the coating layer is too low, and the carbon composite ferric manganese vanadium lithium phosphate material cannot realize effective coating, so that the effect of improving the cycle performance and the storage performance of the battery is achieved. The proper coating amount can give consideration to the capacity performance, the cycle performance and the storage performance of the battery, and can keep and even improve the capacity performance and the first-effect of the power buckling of the battery while further improving the cycle performance, the storage performance and the safety performance of the battery.
In some embodiments, the mass fraction of carbon in the coating is 0.01% to 25% based on the total mass of the coating. In some embodiments, the mass fraction of carbon in the coating may be selected from 0.1%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19%, 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, 24%, 25%.
In some embodiments, a carbon content analyzer is used to test the mass content of carbon elements in the carbon-composite iron-manganese-vanadium-lithium phosphate material. Herein, the mass content of the carbon element in the carbon-composite iron-manganese-vanadium-lithium phosphate material may be adjusted by changing the mass of the added carbon source during the preparation of the carbon-composite iron-manganese-vanadium-lithium phosphate material.
The high mass content of carbon element in the coating layer easily causes the reduction of the ratio of the ferric manganese vanadium lithium phosphate in the ferric manganese vanadium lithium phosphate material compounded by carbon, and the characteristics of good stability and high voltage platform of the ferric manganese vanadium lithium phosphate can not be exerted. The mass content of the carbon element in the coating layer is too low, and the conductivity of the coating layer is too low, so that effective transmission of electrons cannot be realized. The mass content of the carbon element in the carbon composite oxide particle ferric manganese vanadium lithium phosphate material is controlled within a proper range, the carbon composite ferric manganese vanadium lithium phosphate material with uniform particle size distribution and high carbon element dispersibility can be obtained through uniform carbon composite, the coating layer has proper powder resistivity, the deintercalation of lithium ions is easy to realize, and even under the condition that the coating layer is added, the capacity performance and initial performance of the battery can be further maintained or improved, and the battery performance cannot be deteriorated due to the addition of the coating layer.
In some embodiments, the composite positive electrode material has a powder resistivity of 1000 to 5500 Ω -cm. In some embodiments, the powder resistivity of the composite positive electrode material is 1100Ω·cm, 1500Ω·cm, 2000 Ω·cm, 2500Ω·cm, 200Ω·cm, 4000 Ω·cm, 4500Ω·cm, 5000 Ω·cm, 5500 Ω·cm.
In this context, the term "powder resistivity" refers to a parameter used to characterize the electrical conductivity of the material itself, which is different from the resistivity of the pole piece. Typically, the powder resistivity is measured using a tester such as a four-probe tester, in accordance with GB/T30835-2014, lithium ion battery carbon composite lithium iron phosphate cathode material.
When the powder resistivity of the composite positive electrode material is within the range, the composite positive electrode material has better stability and better conductivity, and is beneficial to maintaining and improving the capacity performance of the battery.
In some embodiments, the average particle diameter Dv50 of the composite positive electrode material is 8 to 12 μm. In some embodiments, the average particle size Dv50 of the composite positive electrode material is 8.5 μm, 9 μm, 9.5 μm,10 μm, 10.5 μm, 11 μm, 11.5 μm, 12 μm.
In this context, the average particle diameter Dv50 is a meaning known in the art and means the particle diameter corresponding to a cumulative volume distribution percentage of the material of up to 50%. The determination may be performed using methods and instruments known in the art. For example, the particle size distribution can be measured by a laser particle size analyzer by referring to GB/T19077-2016 particle size distribution laser diffraction method.
The particle size of the composite positive electrode material is too large to be beneficial to the intercalation and deintercalation of lithium ions, the particle size of the composite positive electrode material is too small, the material is easy to aggregate, and the average particle size of the composite positive electrode material is in a proper range, so that the battery can exert excellent electrochemical performance and cycle performance.
In some embodiments, the lithium-containing metal oxide has the general formula of formula II,
Li 1.05-a2M1 a2(Ni b2Co c2Mn d2) 1-e2Q e2O 2, formula II
In the method, in the process of the invention, a2 is more than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 0.1,0.7 is more than or equal to b 0.96,0.03 c22 is less than or equal to 0.96,0.03 c2 is less than or equal to; wherein M1 is selected from one or more of alkali metal elements Na, K, rb, cs, and Q is selected from one or more of Al, mg, zr, ti, W, Y, B, co, nb, mo, sb, sr.
In some embodiments, 0< a1.ltoreq.0.1. In the preparation process of the metal oxide containing lithium, na, K, rb, cs of carbonate, sulfate, chloride or oxide is added for co-sintering to realize the doping of alkali metal elements. The lithium-containing metal oxide is doped with alkali metal, so that the diffusion efficiency of lithium ions can be improved, and the high capacity and high rate performance of the battery can be further maintained.
In some embodiments, 0< e1+.0.05. In the preparation process of the metal oxide containing lithium, al, mg, zr, ti, W, Y, B, co, nb, mo, sb, sr of oxide, hydroxide, carbonate or phosphate is added for co-sintering to realize the doping of the transition metal element.
