Description

Method for repairing and modifying waste lithium ion battery positive electrode active material
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of resource treatment of electronic wastes, and particularly relates to a method for repairing and modifying a waste lithium ion battery positive electrode active material.
Background
The lithium ion battery has the advantages of long service life, no memory effect, high specific energy, strong environmental adaptability and the like, and is applied to the fields of new energy automobiles, large-scale wind power photoelectric energy storage, communication base station standby power supplies and the like. The lithium battery contains valuable metals such as nickel, cobalt, manganese, iron, copper, aluminum and the like, and the actual service life of the lithium battery is only two to three years, so that a large number of waste lithium ion batteries in the market cause severe pressure on environment and metal resource shortage, and the lithium battery needs to be subjected to efficient resource treatment.
The positive active material not only determines the overall electrochemical capacity of the battery, but also is the most economically valuable part of the battery composition. Due to the characteristics of the material and the working principle of the lithium ion battery, the structure of the positive active material can be changed after repeated cyclic charge and discharge, such as the phenomena of metal ion dissolution and structural change related to the surface structure, such as lithium ion loss, cation mixed discharge, surface side reaction and the like, and further the capacity attenuation of the battery is caused. The traditional recovery technology mainly comprises pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy, and is a resource recycling mode of decomposing and recombining valuable components and recovering the valuable components in the forms of metal ions, compounds and the like, and the mode has the defects of high energy consumption, long flow, easiness in causing secondary pollution and the like.
Aiming at the structural change of the anode active material, the simple supplement of the deficient lithium element is not enough to improve the interface stability of the material. Therefore, the introduction of the coating modifier can form a protective layer on the surface of the particles, reduce the side reaction of the anode active material and the electrolyte, and further improve the cycle performance of the material. In order to ensure the uniformity of the reaction between the lithium supplement additive and the coating modifier and the surface of the waste anode active material, a thin and uniform coating layer is formed on the surface of the particles, and the uniform mixing of the materials is the key of the subsequent high-temperature solid-phase reaction.
Enrichment and purification pretreatment of the waste positive active material is a precondition for subsequent resource recovery, and if impurities in the material are not completely removed, continuous side reactions are easily caused, so that raw material consumption and product properties are changed. Although the traditional mechanical separation pretreatment method can realize the dissociation of the active material and the current collector to a certain extent, the problems that the active material and organic matter are mixed after the current collector is crushed, and the like exist. The binder can be aged and failed after circulation, the original properties of the material are changed, and the binder cannot be completely dissolved by simple solvent dissolution. When the pole piece is manufactured, the particle coating is compacted and densified, a large amount of organic matters in the gaps of the particles cannot be removed by direct heat treatment, and partial organic matters still remain on the surfaces of the particles.
