Description

Granularity test method of ternary cathode material
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of powder particle size testing, and relates to a particle size testing method of a ternary cathode material.
Background
With the increasingly prominent problems of energy crisis, environmental pollution and the like, the development of sustainable new energy becomes urgent for building a low-carbon society. Lithium ion batteries are receiving much attention as a new type of high-energy green batteries. The lithium battery has the advantages of high voltage and high capacity, and has long cycle life, low cost and other features.
The anode material has a bottleneck that restricts the large-scale popularization and application of the lithium ion battery due to high price and low specific capacity, and the structural stability of the single crystal material can not only improve the cycle stability of the battery, but also is very important for the safety of the battery. Under this requirement, an important factor, i.e., the particle size of the material in the electrode, must be considered in the battery design, as this helps determine the power and capacity of the battery.
The electrical property and the processing property of the lithium ion battery anode material are influenced by the physical properties of the lithium ion battery anode material, and particularly, the size of the particle size distribution has great influence on the safety performance of the battery and the compaction density of a pole piece.
In order to obtain the correct data on primary particle size, it is often necessary to break up agglomerated particles, form the particle monomers and disperse them uniformly in the medium in the particle size test, where the requirement for particle dispersion is "dispersion without segregation".
In the prior art, the problems exist in the test by adopting the laser diffraction technology, the anode material is not easy to disperse, bubbles are easy to generate in the ultrasonic process, the dispersion effect is unstable, and the data fluctuation is large; the requirement on the particle size is obviously limited, and the particles less than 5 mu m are greatly influenced by a dispersion method in the aspect of the particle size.
CN107565098A provides a method for rapidly evaluating the stability of a lithium ion battery anode material, which comprises the following steps: (1) assembling a battery, circulating a small current at normal temperature, and recharging to a test voltage; (2) taking out the pole piece from the glove box, cleaning and drying; rapidly measuring electrolyte according to a certain active substance/electrolyte ratio, putting the electrolyte into a closed container, adding the cleaned pole piece, and sealing; placing the closed container at a set temperature for a certain time; (3) after the placement, putting the closed container into a glove box, taking out the electrolyte, transferring the electrolyte into a centrifugal tube, moving out of the glove box, and performing centrifugal separation; (4) taking a small amount of supernatant, digesting, transferring digestion liquid to a volumetric flask for constant volume, and testing the ion concentration by adopting ICP. The method needs to manufacture the anode material into a finished battery, has a long manufacturing period, needs to use an organic solvent in the testing process, has high cost, can cause environmental pollution, and is not suitable for industrial rapid detection.
CN106092837A discloses a method for effectively evaluating dispersion consistency of material components in a positive electrode plate of a battery, which comprises scraping powder from the positive electrode plate after coating the positive electrode, sampling, testing, comparing particle size distribution and particle size of raw materials, and comparing particle size distribution and particle size consistency of main active material in the positive electrode plate to evaluate consistency of the positive electrode plate of the battery. In the document, bubbles are easily generated in the ultrasonic process, so that the dispersion effect is unstable and the data fluctuation is large.
Therefore, how to improve the accuracy of the particle size test of the cathode material is a technical problem to be solved urgently.
