Technical Field

Background
Lithium ion batteries are currently the most widely used secondary batteries due to their high energy density and good cycling stability. The lithium ion battery anode material becomes a limiting link of the energy density of the lithium ion battery due to the problems of lower specific capacity and the like. Conventional lithium ion battery positive electrode materials, such as LiCoO 2 、LiFePO 4 、LiNi x Co y Mn 1-x-y O 2 And the like, the higher atomic weight and the smaller electron holding capacity of the material fundamentally limit the improvement of the specific capacity by the charge storage and release of the transition metal ions. While the current anion (O) 2- 、S 2- Etc.) the energy storage is gradually concerned by people, more and more research findings and advanced characterization means prove the feasibility and the authenticity of the generation of anion energy storage, which opens up a new world for improving the specific capacity of the anode material and is expected to lead the lithium ion to be expectedThe development of batteries is moving to a new stage.
The lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material, which is a typical material with oxidation and reduction of anions, has no corresponding reduction plateau of oxygen in the discharge stage, but shows a sloped curve, although oxidation of oxygen occurs in the first charge to 4.5V plateau. This phenomenon of inconsistent first charge and discharge behavior can be attributed to the following explanation: the transition metal in the lithium-rich material undergoes irreversible interlayer migration in the first charging process, the honeycomb superlattice structure is damaged, and O is generated 2 Molecules are trapped in the interlayer and during the discharge phase O 2 The molecule is reduced to generate O 2- But cannot be restored to the original crystal structure state. Lithium-rich materials are therefore to some extent not considered to be fully reversible by anionic redox, and new positive electrode materials which are reversible within the category of electrochemical and crystalline structures are sought and studied. Recently, researchers developed a sodium-ion battery positive electrode material Na with a band-shaped superlattice structure and completely reversible in electrochemistry for the first time 0.6 Li 0.2 MnO 2 Therefore, the method can be used as a reference for preparing and developing a novel lithium ion battery cathode material.
The ion exchange method can exchange alkali metal ions without damaging the structural framework of the material, and can utilize the positive electrode material of the sodium ion battery to carry out ion exchange to prepare the novel positive electrode material of the lithium ion battery. Researchers successfully prepare the lithium ion battery anode material with the 02 metastable state structure through a molten salt ion exchange method, the lithium ion battery anode material has ultrahigh specific capacity and good cycle stability, but the preparation method is high in cost, difficult to put into practical production, and inconsistent in first charge and discharge behaviors.
