A kind of iron phosphate lithium-based modified anode material preparation method
Technical field:
The present invention relates to technical field of lithium ion battery electrode, and in particular to a kind of iron phosphate lithium-based modified positive material
Preparation method for material.
Background technology:
Lithium battery is one kind using lithium metal or lithium alloy as negative material, using the one-shot battery of non-aqueous electrolytic solution,
With lithium ion polymer battery it is different with rechargeable battery lithium ion battery.The inventor of lithium battery is Edison.By
It is very active in the chemical characteristic of lithium metal so that processing, preservation, the use of lithium metal, it is very high to environmental requirement.So
Lithium battery is not applied for a long time.With the development of twentieth century end microelectric technique, the equipment of miniaturization is increasing, right
Power supply proposes very high requirement.Lithium battery enters the large-scale practical stage therewith.Ferric phosphate lithium anode reacts:Electric discharge
When lithium ion be embedded in, lithium ion deintercalation when charging.When charging:When LiFePO4 → Li1-xFePO4+xLi++xe- discharges:Li1-
XFePO4+xLi++xe- → LiFePO4 cathode, negative material:Mostly use graphite.New research finds that titanate may be more preferable
Material.Negative reaction:Lithium ion is de- when electric discharge inserts, and lithium ion is inserted into when charging.When charging:XLi++xe-+6C → LixC6 is put
When electric:LixC6→xLi++xe-+6C.Ferric phosphate lithium cell has the characteristics that safety is good, energy density is higher, has become
Mainstream battery in power battery.However, under low temperature environment, institute is deviate from from positive electrode and migrated in the electrolytic solution to lithium ion
The resistance being subject to increases, and the charge-discharge performance and cycle performance of ferric phosphate lithium cell drastically reduce, and therefore, improves LiFePO4 electricity
Pond charge-discharge performance at low ambient temperatures and cycle performance are of great significance.
Currently, the synthetic method of LiFePO 4 material is largely divided into solid phase method and liquid phase method.Solid phase method mainly utilizes iron
Salt, lithium salts and phosphate realize the synthesis of LiFePO4 in high temperature sintering.Liquid phase method is by soluble ferric iron salt, lithium salts and phosphoric acid
Salt dissolves in a solvent, LiFePO4 or its presoma is made using ionic reaction, then finished product is made by high temperature sintering.Solid phase
Method reaction is easy, and raw material is easily processed, and yield is high, but raw material pattern is not easily controlled, product tap density and compacted density
It is low.For example, patent of invention CN101200289, CN1762798, CN101140985 etc. are to use process for solid phase synthesis route.
Some new synthetic methods, such as microwave process for synthesizing (CN101172597, CN101807692A), supersonic and co-deposition
(CN101800311A), it can sum up in the point that in solid-phase synthesis.And liquid phase method needs to carry out pre-processing using reaction kettle, together
When be also required to the processes such as dry, filtering, technics comparing is complicated.But product sphericity is generally preferable, tap density is higher, capacity
It is outstanding with high rate capability.Patent of invention CN101172599, CN101047242, CN101121509 are to use process above
Route.
The successful application of iron phosphate material is that its surface is coated with conductive carbon layer.Really a kind of lithium iron phosphate/carbon is multiple
Condensation material.Its chemical property could normally be played by only having coated the LiFePO 4 material of carbon.But general technique is added
Carbon due to quality it is loose, and in loose distribution between lithium iron phosphate particles, the accumulation for seriously reducing LiFePO 4 material is close
Degree.
