Description

Nickel-manganese-iron-aluminum-lithium cathode material and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of battery materials, and particularly relates to a nickel-manganese-iron-aluminum-lithium positive electrode material and a preparation method thereof.
Background
High nickel ternary positive electrode material nickel cobalt lithium aluminate (LiNi)1-x-yCoxAlyO2NCA for short) has very high energy density and power density and wide application prospect, so that the material is more and more widely concerned by the industry and academia. Wherein the high nickel system LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2As a system which is researched most mature and has the best performance in NCA materials, the material has higher actual specific capacity, and the discharge specific capacity under high cut-off voltage (4.3V) can reach 180 mAh/g. The NCA positive electrode material is just benefited from the high-capacity characteristic, and is used as the positive electrode material for manufacturing high-performance batteries, such as 18650 type power batteries in the new energy automobile industry.
Solid phase and coprecipitation methods are mainly used in the preparation of commercial NCA materials. The coprecipitation method has the advantages that the particle size of the prepared material particles is small and uniform, but the problems of uneven element distribution, difficult growth of crystal grains and the like in the product are easily caused by introducing aluminum element into the coprecipitation process. In addition, the NCA material has the advantage of large capacity, but has problems of low coulombic efficiency, poor cycle stability and rate capability, voltage attenuation, and the like for the first time.
Therefore, it is desirable to provide a positive electrode material having better performance than conventional NCA materials.

The nickel-manganese-iron-aluminum-lithium cathode material has higher theoretical capacity, the discharge capacity is between 190-195mAh/g at the multiplying power of 0.1C, the capacity retention rate is still about 85 percent after 100 cycles, and the material has better cycle stability.
The invention provides a preparation method of a nickel-manganese-iron-aluminum-lithium anode material, which comprises the following steps of:
(1) preparing a nickel salt and a manganese salt into a metal salt solution A; oxalic acid is used as a precipitator and is prepared into a mixed solution B with a complexing agent;
(2) adding the metal salt solution A into the mixed solution B, heating and stirring to form emulsion; then aging, filtering, washing and drying to prepare a nickel manganese oxalate precursor;
(3) adding an iron source into the nickel manganese oxalate precursor, and calcining for the first time to obtain a primary sintered product; adding an aluminum source into the primary sintering product, and performing secondary calcination to obtain a secondary sintering product; and adding a lithium source into the secondary sintering product, and calcining for three times to obtain the nickel-manganese-iron-aluminum-lithium cathode material.
The invention adopts oxalic acid to replace sodium hydroxide with strong basicity and strong corrosivity as a precipitator of the coprecipitation process, reduces the corrosion to production equipment and the pollution to the environment, and can also effectively avoid the generation of AlO by Al element under the strong basicity condition2-Thereby causing the problems of uneven element distribution in the product and difficult grain growth, and effectively improving the electrochemical performance of the anode material. The invention also adopts a three-section sintering process, and an iron source and a precursor are respectively added, an aluminum source is added and a primary sintering product is subjected to secondary sintering, so that the defect of nonuniform grain growth of the precursor caused by nonuniform precipitation of aluminum ions under an alkaline condition in the traditional coprecipitation process, and the particle size is not uniform is further avoided. In addition, the invention also adopts manganese to completely replace noble metal cobalt to synthesize the high-nickel cobalt-free quaternary anode material, which can not only avoid the cost rise caused by the high-nickel anode material excessively depending on metal cobalt, but also carry out structural improvement on the high-nickel anode materialOptimization is facilitated, the layered structure of the material is stabilized, and the electrochemical properties such as the cycle stability and the like of the material are improved.
Preferably, the nickel salt is nickel nitrate and/or nickel sulfate.
Preferably, the manganese salt is manganese nitrate and/or manganese sulfate.
Preferably, the complexing agent is ammonia.
Preferably, the molar ratio of the precipitant to the complexing agent is 1: (1.8-2.5).
Preferably, the heating in step (2) is carried out to a temperature of 32-37 ℃.
Preferably, the rotation speed of the stirring in the step (2) is 800-.
Preferably, the lithium source is lithium hydroxide and/or lithium carbonate.

Preferably, the primary calcination in step (3) comprises the following steps: raising the temperature from room temperature to about 700 ℃, raising the temperature at the speed of about 5 ℃/min, keeping the temperature for about 10h under the air atmosphere, and cooling to the room temperature.

Meanwhile, the invention takes oxalic acid to replace alkaline substances as a precipitator, and can effectively prevent Al element from generating AlO under strong alkaline condition2-Thereby causing the problems of uneven element distribution in the product and difficult grain growth, and effectively improving the electrochemical performance of the anode material.
(2) According to the invention, by adopting a three-section sintering process, the secondary sintering is respectively carried out by adding an iron source and a precursor, adding an aluminum source and a primary sintering product, so that the defect of nonuniform grain growth of the precursor caused by nonuniform precipitation of aluminum ions under an alkaline condition in the traditional coprecipitation process, thereby causing nonuniform grain size is avoided.

(4) According to the invention, aluminum oxide is adopted to replace aluminum salt aluminum sulfate commonly used in the traditional coprecipitation process, and ferric oxide is adopted as an external iron source, so that the defect of uneven distribution of precursor elements caused by incomplete precipitation of metal ions in the process of preparing the precursor by the traditional coprecipitation process is avoided.
