A kind of method of liquid phase template synthesis spherical nickel-cobalt LiMn2O4
Technical field
The present invention relates to lithium electric energy and manufacture field, particularly a kind of spherical nickel-cobalt LiMn2O4.
Background technology
Along with the development of communications industry, ev industry and digital product industry, the demand of people to battery increases day by day, and power, energy-storage battery arise at the historic moment.
The negative material of lithium ion battery is graphite type material always, and tin compound and silicon compounds negative material still there is no large progress; But positive electrode is from the degree show of cobalt acid lithium material, to the development trend that cobalt acid lithium, LiMn2O4, lithium nickel cobalt dioxide, nickle cobalt lithium manganate, ferrophosphorus acid lithium material are advanced side by side.
Cobalt acid lithium material, as the commercial anode material for lithium-ion batteries of the first generation, also has many advantages do not replaced: drawing abillity is fine, and density is high, the voltage platform of material is higher and more stable, be the most ripe positive electrode, at short notice, also have certain advantage.But its expensive, capacity existed almost has performed to the defects such as the limit, resource scarcity, poor stability makes it to suffer to be substituted destiny in 5 to 10 years.
Lithium manganate material is the positive electrode studied except cobalt acid lithium the earliest, and by years of researches, the performance of material obtains larger improvement.Its higher fail safe, cheap price, makes it have broad application prospects in electrokinetic cell field; But its lower specific capacity, poor cycle performance, particularly high temperature cyclic performance makes its application receive larger restriction, although logical research in a few years, cycle performance is improved, but high temperature cyclic performance is not also solved preferably, the paces of its large-scale commercial are postponed.
LiFePO 4 material is the positive electrode that fast development is got up, its cheap price, higher security performance, good structural stability, superior cycle performance makes it have broad application prospects as electrokinetic cell and stand-by power supply field, has greatly the trend replacing LiMn2O4.But it also exists the problem that some difficulty or ease solve, and special tap density is low, and volume and capacity ratio is low, and conductivity is low, and low temperature performance is poor, the problems such as multiplying power discharging difference need continue research and improve.
Most possible replacement cobalt acid lithium be lithium nickel cobalt dioxide and nickel cobalt mangaic acid ternary material, be the fast development along with new energy field, it is also more and more higher to the requirement of battery capacity, must promote the nickel cobalt class material of high power capacity and the development of nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary material.Lithium nickel cobalt dioxide material is the material that a kind of Capacity Ratio is higher, and its specific capacity exceeds more than 30% than the sour lithium of cobalt, and and cobalt acid lithium have identical bound voltage, utilize than being easier to scale, price is relatively cheap.

Summary of the invention
In order to the particle diameter overcoming material in existing nickle cobalt lithium manganate battery material preparation method is difficult to control, the shortcomings such as product capacity is low, energy density is low; The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of method of liquid phase template synthesis spherical nickel-cobalt LiMn2O4, the method improves on the basis of the precipitation method, carrys out the elements such as nickel deposited cobalt manganese by adding wafer spherical template; Substrate specially for crystal nucleation increases the condition controlled, therefore can the particle diameter of Effective Regulation material, solves in prior art and controls the difficult problems such as battery material particle size distribution, properties of product are unstable.
Technical problem of the present invention is solved mainly through following technical proposals:
A method for liquid phase template synthesis spherical nickel-cobalt LiMn2O4, comprises the following steps:
(1) compound concentration is the aqueous slkali of 0.5 ~ 10mol/L respectively, and concentration is the additive complex solution of 0.1 ~ 5mol/L, and concentration is Ni, Co, Mn metal salt solution of 0.5 ~ 5mol/L;
(2) mixed solution step (1) prepared and aqueous slkali, additive complex solution join in the spherical hydroxide nucleus mother liquor of suitable reaction conditions, between adjust ph 7-13 with certain speed simultaneously;
(3) be 1:(0.1-3 by the mol ratio of nickel, cobalt, manganese element): the metallic solution of (0.1-3) joins in hydroxide nucleus solution; Make nickel, cobalt, manganese solution crystalline deposit on hydroxide nucleus; Suspension-turbid liquid is filtered, by drying precipitate, obtains nickel cobalt manganese hydroxide powder;
(4) in nickel cobalt manganese hydroxide powder, add lithium carbonate, make the mol ratio of nickel cobalt manganese hydroxide and lithium carbonate be 1:(1-1.5), mix, 6h is calcined at being placed in 250 DEG C-800 DEG C, be warming up to 800-1000 DEG C again, calcining 10-12h, obtains spherical nickel-cobalt LiMn2O4.
Further, step (1) is characterized in that nickel salt is the one in nickelous sulfate, nickel chloride or nickel nitrate, and cobalt salt is the one in cobaltous sulfate, cobalt chloride or cobalt nitrate, and manganese salt is the one in manganese sulfate, manganese chloride or manganese nitrate;
Step (2) is characterized in that interpolation speed is aqueous slkali, additive complex solution, metal salt solution join in reactor continuously with the flow velocity of 30 ~ 300L/h, 3 ~ 60L/h, 30 ~ 300L/h respectively, continuous stirring, control reaction temperature is 40-80 DEG C, mixing speed is 100 ~ 600rpm, carries out chemical precipitation and crystal growth.
