Description

NCMA (non-volatile memory alloy) positive electrode material with core-shell structure and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of electrode materials and chemical power supplies, in particular to an NCMA positive electrode material with a core-shell structure and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the increasing energy density of lithium ion batteries, the pursuit of the capacity of positive and negative electrode materials is also increasing, and due to the difference of the capacities of the positive and negative electrodes, the positive electrode material is often the bottleneck influencing the energy density of the batteries. From the current technical level, the high-nickel ternary lithium ion battery positive electrode material is regarded as a lithium ion power battery positive electrode material with great application prospect by virtue of the advantages of high specific capacity, low cost, excellent safety and the like.
Currently, high nickel materials fall into two main categories: the reversible capacity of the NCM and NCA materials has high energy density, and the application of the NCM and the NCA materials is expected to enable the endurance of a power automobile based on the lithium ion battery to exceed 300 miles. In order to enable the energy density of the lithium ion battery to exceed 300Wh/kg, a strategy of increasing the nickel content is generally adopted to increase the specific capacity and increase the working voltage window, but the cycle life of the battery is seriously influenced, and the main reason of the phenomenon is that the structural stability is deteriorated due to multiple phase changes in the charging process along with the increase of the nickel content.
Therefore, the research on the attenuation mechanism of the high-nickel material becomes a research hotspot in recent years, and an Arumugam Manthiram topic group (DOI: 10.1002/aenm.201703154) carries out systematic comparison and analysis from two aspects of the cycle performance and the attenuation mechanism of NCM and NCA materials, and the research shows that the Li/Ni mixed discharge is more serious after the NCM material is cycled for a long time, particularly the NCM material is cycled under high voltage, the Li removal degree of the material is higher, the Li/Ni mixed discharge is further promoted, and the attenuation speed of the NCM in the long-term cycle is faster than that of the NCA; in addition, other researchers find that the doping of Al in NCA can reduce the cation mixed-discharge degree, and the effect of inhibiting the dissolution and irreversible phase change of transition metal elements is obviously better than that of the doping of Mn element in NCM, but the differentiation and crushing degree of secondary particles of NCA material in long-term circulation is more serious than that of NCM material.
The patent with publication number CN112563474A provides an in-situ coated NCMA quaternary positive electrode material and a preparation method thereof, which adopts the in-situ coating technology to uniformly coat a matrix material on an NCMA precursor, and carries out bulk phase doping on the basis of the in-situ coating.
The patent with publication number CN111697235A provides an NCMA quaternary gradient material and a preparation method thereof, the quaternary material sequentially comprises a core structure, a shell structure and a coating layer from inside to outside, and the Ni content of the material is distributed in a concentration gradient from the core to the content of Ni and Mn of an EDS energy spectrum of the shell. The anode material is obtained by sintering through the method, the volume change of lithium ions in the process of de-intercalation of the anode material is reduced by doping Al, the appearance and expansion of microcracks in secondary particles are effectively inhibited, and good physical and chemical properties are shown. However, the above technical means have some technical defects, the coating and doping of the high-nickel quaternary material need to be sintered or coated on the basis of the precursor, the synthesis process is complicated, and the period is long; the energy density of the high-nickel cathode material is reduced to a certain extent by the coating layer of the precursor. Therefore, how to solve the capacity and cycle problems becomes the key point of breakthrough of the nickel-cobalt-manganese-aluminum material in performance.
Therefore, how to solve the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art is a problem to be solved by the present invention.
