Description

Organic solvent method prepares high purity lithium hexafluorophosphate
Technical field
The present invention relates to the lithium ion battery field, particularly the preparation of electrolyte lithium salt.
Background technology
Lithium hexafluoro phosphate (LiPF 6) be a kind of white powder solid, be soluble in non-aqueous solvents such as anhydrous hydrogen fluoride, low alkyl oxide, nitrile, pyridine, organic carbonate (EC, PC, DEC, DMC, EMC), tetrahydrofuran (THF), be insoluble in alkane and benzene equal solvent.At present, LiPF 6Be most popular electrolyte lithium salt in the commercialization lithium ion battery, its major advantage is: (1) can form suitable SEI film on the electrode especially on the carbon negative pole; (2) plus plate current-collecting body is realized effective passivation, to stop its dissolving; (3) wideer electrochemical stability window is arranged; (4) suitable solubleness and higher specific conductivity are arranged in various non-aqueous solvents; (5) environment friendly is relatively preferably arranged.
And lithium ion battery is the most competitive superior product in global secondary cell field.Along with the steady increase of lithium ion battery demand, LiPF 6Demand also can increase steadily.It is predicted LiPF 6Consumption will reach more than 10000 tons to the year two thousand twenty.But because existing method is produced LiPF 6Product purity requires height, production is dangerous greatly, raw material preparing is difficult, fails to make a breakthrough always.
At present, the LiPF that has reported 6The preparation method is broadly divided into three major types: HF solvent method, ion exchange method, gas-solid direct reaction method etc.Wherein the HF solvent method is preparation LiPF 6The most traditional method, more to its research in history, be a most ripe at present operational path, also be to carry out a most successful operational path of industrialization.Its cardinal principle is: the employing anhydrous HF is solvent, mainly is LiF with LiX() be dissolved in wherein, directly feed phosphorous material (phosphorus source) then, purifying through reaction back evaporative crystallization obtains product.Wherein the chemical equation of typical process route is:
PCl 5?+?5HF?=?PF 5?+?5HCl
PF 5+ LiF=LiPF 6(in the HF solvent, reacting)
The overall advantage of this technology is that speed of response is fast, starting material transformation efficiency height.But the maximum deficiency of this technology is to remain in HF in the product with title complex LiPF 6The form of HF is present in the product, and general method is extremely difficult to be reduced to 10 * 10 with the content in the product -6Below (massfraction).Because the residual battery material of HF has corrosion, thereby influences battery electrical property.Moreover this technology requires all high to the anti-corrosion measure of equipment and the security measures of material requirement and production.Also having this technology is cryogenic technology, and energy consumption is big.
Ion exchange method can be divided into two big classes: the one, and ion-exchange-resin process; The 2nd, hexafluorophosphate ion exchange method.Wherein hexafluorophosphate ion exchange method refers to that ion exchange reaction is taken place for hexafluorophosphate and lithium-containing compound obtains LiPF in organic solvent 6Method.This method has been avoided use PF 5Be raw material, reaction simultaneously settles at one go.The United States Patent (USP) play-by-play a kind of method wherein, point out non-lithium basic metal, NH 4 +, organic amine hexafluorophosphate react in ether or acetonitrile with the compound that contains lithium and can obtain LiPF 6, its reaction pattern is:
MPF 6?+?LiR?=?LiPF 6?+?MR
At present, ion exchange method prepares LiPF 6Common shortcoming be the LiPF that makes 6Purity is not high, generally all contains other intact hexafluorophosphates of unreacted.If research effort can make a breakthrough in this respect, then certainly will promote for this technology and produce important meaning.
Gaseous state PF 5With the direct prepared in reaction LiPF under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions of solid-state LiF 6, this method is simple, and research is also early.Any reagent is not used in this reaction, but that main drawback is productive rate is low, also contains a large amount of LiF in the final product.
As present stage lithium ion battery electrolyte mainly use salt, LiPF 6Very active because of its character, preparation process is extremely harsh to conditional requests such as environment and equipment.At present both at home and abroad to LiPF 6In preparation technology's the correlative study, the HF solvent method is still the main method of present preparation of industrialization, but remains in LiPF in the preparation process 6In the influence of the battery of HF huge, the preparation process plant energy consumption is big, so will no longer be desirable solvent.
Summary of the invention
