Description

Method for reducing alkalinity of positive electrode material by using phosphorus-containing organic matter
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of lithium ion battery anode materials, and particularly relates to a method for reducing the alkalinity of an anode material by using a phosphorus-containing organic substance.
Background
Electric vehicles are an important field of national planning and development. Endurance is the core competitiveness of electric vehicles. The high-energy-density lithium ion battery has important significance for improving the endurance mileage of the electric automobile. Compared with a negative electrode material, a positive electrode material of the lithium ion battery has low specific capacity, and is one of bottlenecks that the energy density of the lithium ion battery is limited to be improved.
Too strong alkalinity is an obstacle for restricting the application of some lithium ion battery anode materials. Using nickel-rich cathode material (LiNi)xCoyMn1-x-yO2(x is more than or equal to 60 percent)) as an example, the nickel-rich cathode material improves the proportion of nickel in the material, and compared with cobalt element forming the cathode material of the lithium ion battery, the nickel has the advantages of high specific capacity, low price, environmental friendliness and the like. Nickel-rich cathode materialThe material has the characteristics of high specific capacity and low cost, and is widely concerned by people. However, a series of problems still exist with nickel-rich cathode materials, one important problem being excessive basicity. The alkalinity of the nickel-rich cathode material mainly comes from residual lithium on the surface of the nickel-rich cathode material. In the process of preparing the nickel-rich cathode material, in order to prevent the loss of lithium, an excessive amount of lithium salt is usually added, and the excessive amount of lithium salt causes excessive lithium on the surface of the product, namely residual lithium on the surface. Residual lithium is easy to react with H in humid air2O,CO2Reaction to produce LiOH, Li2CO3. These two substances enhance the basicity of the nickel-rich cathode material. The strong basicity enables the nickel-rich positive electrode material to be easily changed into jelly in the homogenizing process, and coating is affected; the strong basicity increases the water absorption capacity of the nickel-rich cathode material, and a large amount of water can be brought into the battery in the battery assembling process, so that the decomposition of electrolyte is promoted, a series of problems such as gas expansion and the like are caused, and the electrochemical performance and the safety performance of the battery are deteriorated. It is very necessary to modify the surface of the lithium ion battery anode material including the nickel-rich anode material to reduce the alkalinity of the lithium ion battery anode material.
Researchers widely adopt liquid phase surface modification means such as washing and the like to carry out surface modification on the lithium ion battery anode material so as to reduce alkalinity. The liquid phase surface modification means has the advantages of uniform mixing, simple and convenient operation and the like, and is widely concerned by people. We have noted that the existing liquid phase surface modification means are almost all carried out in aqueous systems, which is disadvantageous for some lithium ion battery positive electrode materials. For example, for nickel-rich cathode materials, aqueous processing schemes suffer from the following disadvantages: the water can replace lithium in the nickel-rich anode material to generate LiOH, so that the specific capacity of the nickel-rich anode material is irreversibly reduced; the sensitivity of the water-treated nickel-rich cathode material to humid air is enhanced, and lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide are easier to generate; the nickel-rich cathode material treated by water has poor thermal stability and low high-temperature performance. The korean lithium battery specialist Jaephil Cho drafted: treatment of nickel-rich cathode material in water is not a good method, and we should seek better alternatives to it (Junhyeok Kim et al adv Energy mater.2018,8,1702028).
Chinese patent CN 102881911A reports a scheme for constructing a lithium phosphate coating layer by using a liquid phase precipitation method, but the scheme cannot avoid the adverse effect of water on the anode material of a lithium ion battery, and is complex in process and not beneficial to large-scale production.

Example 2
Firstly, preparing 622 material coated by lithium phosphate
Dispersing 1g of 622 material in 100ml of methanol, adding 0.15g of hexachlorotriphosphazene, stirring for 2h, evaporating in a water bath at 80 ℃ to dryness, and calcining the product in a tube furnace at 750 ℃ for 2h in an oxygen atmosphere. Naturally cooling to obtain 622 material with the surface coated with lithium phosphate.
Two, assemble button cell
Respectively taking the 622 material after coating treatment and the 622 material without coating treatment as electrode materials, pulping the electrode materials according to the proportion of carbon black to PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) of 8:1:1, coating the electrode materials on an aluminum foil to be used as a positive electrode, taking lithium metal as a negative electrode and taking 1M electrolyte as LiPF6The method comprises the steps of assembling a button cell with an electrolyte, wherein the electrolyte solvent is EC, DEC and DMC (1: 1: 1), performing an electrochemical cycle test of 0.2C (theoretical specific capacity of 200mAh/g) within a voltage range of 3.0-4.5V, wherein the test temperature is 25 ℃, the charge-discharge curve is shown in figure 4, and figure 4 shows that the charge-discharge curve of a 622 material coated with lithium phosphate on the surface has no obvious difference with the charge-discharge curve of a 622 material not coated with lithium phosphate, and the specific capacity is not reduced; fig. 5 is a plot of their respective cycle performance data, showing enhanced cycling stability of the cell assembled from the coated material.

Example 3
Dispersing 1g of 622 material into 100ml of methanol, respectively adding hexachlorotriphosphazene with the mass percentage of 10%, 20% and 50% of 622 material, stirring for 2h, placing in a water bath at 80 ℃ for drying by distillation, placing the product in a tubular furnace, and calcining for 2h at 750 ℃ under the oxygen atmosphere.

The obtained materials were dispersed in water at a ratio of 1:10, respectively, ultrasonically stirred, allowed to stand for 30min, and tested for pH, with the results shown in table 1. As can be seen from table 1, the coating method of the present invention can effectively lower the pH of 622 material due to the conversion of residual lithium on the surface to lithium phosphate.

Naturally cooling to obtain 622 material with the surface coated with lithium phosphate. Placing the obtained material in air, standing for 180 days, dissolving the material in water at a ratio of 1:10, ultrasonic stirring, standing for 30min, and testing pH. As shown in table 2, the 622 material coated with lithium phosphate obtained by the method of the present invention can still effectively reduce the pH value of the material after long-term storage. Indicating that the existence of the lithium phosphate coating layer effectively prevents the 622 material from further reacting with water vapor and carbon dioxide in the air.

The coated 622 material and the untreated 622 material were exposed to air for 180 days, and the button cell was assembled by the same method as in example 2, and subjected to electrochemical performance test under the same conditions as in example 2. As shown in fig. 6, the 622 material coated according to the method of the present invention can improve the electrochemical stability of the material after long-term storage.
Example 6
1g, 2g and 3g 622 of the material are respectively dispersed in 100ml of methanol, 0.15g hexachlorotriphosphazene and 0.3g 4, 4' -dihydroxydiphenylsulfone are added, the mixture is stirred for 0.5h, 1ml triethylamine is added, and the mixture is reacted for 6h at 30 ℃. The product is a 622 material coated with poly (cyclotriphosphazene-co-4, 4' -dihydroxydiphenylsulfone). The transmission electron micrograph is shown in FIG. 7, and from FIG. 7, it can be seen that 622 material with different poly (cyclotriphosphazene-co-4, 4' -dihydroxydiphenylsulfone) coating thicknesses can be obtained by adjusting the amount of 622 material: the thicknesses of the poly (cyclotriphosphazene-co-4, 4' -dihydroxydiphenylsulfone) coatings were 60nm (FIG. 7(c)), 20nm (FIG. 7(b)), and 3nm (FIG. 7(a)), respectively, in the materials obtained using 1g, 2g, and 3g of uncoated 622 material. EDS analysis (as shown in figure 8) showed that the poly (cyclotriphosphazene-co-4, 4' -dihydroxydiphenylsulfone) coating on 622 material was achieved.
The 622 material coated with the poly (cyclotriphosphazene-co-4, 4 '-dihydroxydiphenyl sulfone) is calcined for 2h at 800 ℃ in an oxygen atmosphere, and after calcination, the poly (cyclotriphosphazene-co-4, 4' -dihydroxydiphenyl sulfone) coating disappears (as shown in figure 9), so that the 622 material coated with the lithium phosphate on the surface is generated. EDS analysis (fig. 10) showed that the phosphorus element was uniformly distributed on the surface of the 622 material surface-coated with lithium phosphate.
The in-situ polymerization method can achieve the same treatment effect as liquid phase mixing, and can realize the construction of a uniform and controllable phosphorus-containing organic matter coating layer. The scheme is beneficial to building a model system and further researching a related mechanism.
