Description

Cyclic regeneration method of waste lithium ion battery active material and lithium ion battery active material
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of lithium ion battery recovery, and particularly relates to a recycling method of a waste lithium ion battery active material and the lithium ion battery active material.
Background
With the rapid development of new energy automobiles, the demand and the consumption of the lithium ion battery are also multiplied, but the service life of the lithium ion battery is generally about 3 to 5 years, so that a large amount of waste lithium ion batteries are generated. However, if the waste lithium ion battery is discarded at will, not only a large amount of non-renewable transition metals and lithium metals are wasted, but also irreversible pollution is caused to the environment. Therefore, the cyclic recycling of active materials in waste lithium ion batteries is urgent.
At present, the main methods for recovering the lithium ion battery comprise dry recovery and wet recovery. The dry method for recovering the lithium ion battery is mainly used for incinerating the lithium ion battery and recovering valuable metal ions, and the method has the problems of secondary environmental pollution, low recovery rate and the like. The wet recovery method mainly separates a current collector and an active substance layer after disassembling the waste lithium ion battery, and the common methods include an organic dissolution method, a high-temperature roasting method and an alkali solution dissolution method. Among them, both the organic dissolution method and the alkali dissolution method are accompanied with the generation of toxic waste gas, high acid or high alkaline waste water, which not only has higher requirements for equipment, but also has more difficult treatment of waste gas and waste water. And the high-temperature roasting is accompanied with the generation of fluorine-containing waste gas, so that the environment is seriously polluted.
CN101383441A discloses a comprehensive recovery method of lithium iron phosphate battery anode waste pieces, which comprises the steps of mechanically crushing the anode waste pieces into fragments, and carrying out heat treatment at the temperature of 150-750 ℃; separating the aluminum foil matrix from the fragments by adopting a mechanical separation or ultrasonic oscillation method to obtain a mixture of the lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material, the conductive agent and the binder residue; and baking the mixture at the temperature of 80-150 ℃ for 8-24 h, and grinding the mixture into powder to obtain the lithium iron phosphate anode reclaimed material. Although the method realizes the separation of the river current collector and the active material, the method has the defect of generating fluorine-containing waste gas by high-temperature roasting.
CN111411233A discloses a method for separating a lithium ion battery anode material and a current collector by vacuum aluminum evaporation, which comprises the steps of placing a dried and crushed anode plate in a vacuum calcinator for high-temperature calcination, and removing a binder and a small amount of aluminum in anode powder through high temperature. The disadvantages of this approach: the binder is removed at high temperature, tail gas needs special treatment, the aluminum content in the positive plate cannot be too high, otherwise, the energy consumption is too high, the recovery value is not achieved, certain limitation is achieved, and the practical industrial popularization is not facilitated.
CN108470955A discloses a recycling method of a lithium ion battery positive plate, which comprises the steps of heating a scrapped positive plate at 250-400 ℃, then carrying out vibration screening, and separating to obtain a positive material and a pre-separation pole piece; and soaking the pre-separation pole piece in an organic solvent to separate out a positive current collector and positive material slurry. The method adopts a high-temperature treatment method and an organic solvent dissolution method to be matched for recycling the electrode material, and simultaneously has the problems of toxic organic solvent, quick volatilization, special treatment of fluorine-containing waste gas and the like, so the method is not suitable for industrial application.
Therefore, a novel cyclic regeneration method of the waste lithium ion battery active material is developed and designed, the current collector and the electrode active material can be efficiently separated at normal temperature and normal pressure, the high-purity electrode active material which can be directly used in the battery manufacturing process is obtained, and the generation of toxic waste gas and waste water is avoided.

The embodiment provides a cyclic regeneration method of an active material of a waste lithium ion battery, as shown in fig. 1, the cyclic regeneration method includes:
(1) under the conditions that the power of ultrasonic waves is 50kHz, the temperature is 100 ℃, and the stirring speed is 100rpm/min, waste graphite negative plates with the size of 5 multiplied by 5cm are placed in industrial water according to the solid-to-liquid ratio of 1g/mL for soaking treatment for 10min, then centrifugal separation is carried out, the separated industrial water returns to the soaking treatment process for recycling, and the separated solid is dried and sieved to obtain copper foil and graphite negative waste;
(2) respectively washing the graphite cathode waste material obtained in the step (1) with water for 2 times according to solid-to-liquid ratios of 5g/mL, 10g/mL, 30g/mL, 40g/mL and 50g/mL, and washing for 10 times to obtain a graphite cathode active material, wherein the time of single washing is 10 min;
(3) and (3) drying the graphite cathode active material obtained in the step (2), then carrying out electrochemical performance detection, recovering the qualified graphite cathode active material to the coating process of battery manufacturing, and recovering the unqualified graphite cathode active material to the coating process of battery manufacturing after repairing the unqualified graphite cathode active material.
Example 10
This example differs from example 1 in that: the step (1) omits the external force action of ultrasonic wave, heating and stirring in the soaking treatment process, and other process parameters and operation steps are the same as those of the embodiment 1.
Comparative example 1
This comparative example differs from example 1 in that: step (2) was omitted and the other process parameters and operating steps were the same as in example 1.
The current collector purity and active material recovery in examples 1-10 and comparative example 1 are shown in table 1,
TABLE 1
Figure BDA0003346675420000131
Figure BDA0003346675420000141
From the data analysis of table 1 it can be derived:
(1) in examples 1 to 9, the purity of the current collector and the recovery rate of the active material are both above 90%, which shows that by using the method for recycling the active material of the waste lithium ion battery provided by the invention, the efficient separation of the battery waste and the current collector can be realized through water dissolution treatment; and the recovered electrode waste is washed, so that the recovery rate and purity of the recovered active material are further improved, and the possibility of direct regeneration or repair regeneration is provided.
(2) In example 10, the purity of the current collector and the recovery rate of the active material are both lower than those in example 1, because the external force action in the water dissolution treatment process is omitted in example 10, and the synergistic effect between the water dissolution expansion action and the external force strengthening action cannot be formed in the water dissolution treatment process, the adhesive force of the binder cannot be effectively weakened, the electrode waste material is difficult to fall off from the current collector, and the purity of the current collector and the recovery rate of the active material are both reduced.
(3) The current collector in comparative example 1 has a purity that is not much different from that of example 1, and the recovery rate of the active material is lower than that of example 1 because comparative example 1 omits the washing process, which is mainly used to further improve the recovery rate and purity of the active material.
The applicant declares that the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and it should be understood by those skilled in the art that any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope of the present invention are within the scope and disclosure of the present invention.
