Figure 586270DEST_PATH_IMAGE004
Comparative example 1 differs from example 1 in that comparative example 1 is a conventional high nickel preparation process, without Sr coating and sintering processes. From the physicochemical properties, the Sr gradient doping has small influence on the residual alkali and BET of the sample, and the example 1 and the comparative example 1 are at the same level. Through the gradient doping of Sr, the first time of the sample of the embodiment 1 is slightly reduced compared with the sample of the comparative example 1, but the rate performance is slightly improved, and the normal-temperature cycle performance is also improved. Fig. 2 shows that the two samples are subjected to 45 ℃ cycle test at 4.35V by using an actual cell, and from the test results, the cycle performance of the sample in example 1 is obviously better than that of the material in comparative example 1, which indicates that Sr is doped in a gradient manner on the surface to effectively improve the high voltage resistance of the high-nickel ternary material. Mainly because Sr is doped on the surface in a gradient manner, the Sr can play a role in stabilizing the crystal structure of the high-nickel ternary material on the surface layer. Under deep charging and discharging, the high-nickel ternary material on the surface layer still can keep a higher layered structure, so that the problems of particle pulverization and performance degradation caused by collapse of an external particle structure of the high-nickel ternary material from outside to inside are further inhibited.
The difference between comparative example 2 and example 1 is that comparative example 2 has no third sintering process, and from the physical and chemical properties, the BET of comparative example 2 is significantly higher than that of example 1, and the capacity, rate and cycle performance of the button cell of the sample are slightly worse than those of the sample of example 1. Through carrying out secondary cladding B to the sample, can restoreing to the sample performance, fill the crystal clearance, reduce BET, separation electrolyte and material take place the side reaction, further promote the cycle performance. Meanwhile, the ionic conductivity at the grain boundary is improved, so that the sample capacity is further improved. For example, other coating elements proposed in the present case are: the material is characterized by comprising Al, W, Ti, Mg, Ba, V, Mo, Co, F, P and La, wherein the elements can basically form an effective coating layer on the surface of the material, or play a role in blocking side reactions of the material and electrolyte, or improve the conduction of lithium ions of the material, or further improve the structural stability of the material, and through the coating, the electrical property of the material can be further improved.
Comparative example 3 differs from example 2 in that comparative example 3 has no Sr coating and secondary sintering process, and example 2 has a slightly lower discharge capacity than the button cell of comparative example 3, but the cycle performance is effectively improved.
In the embodiment 3, the ultrahigh nickel ternary material Ni96 is prepared, and through the preparation process, the high capacity of the Ni96 high nickel ternary material is exerted, and meanwhile, the rate capability and the cycle performance do not have obvious deterioration trend, so that the method has a good application effect on improving the structural stability and the electrochemical performance of the high nickel ternary material.
The foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, various modifications and decorations can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these modifications and decorations should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
