Description

Modified lithium cobalt oxide positive electrode material, preparation method thereof, positive electrode plate and secondary battery
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of secondary batteries, in particular to a modified lithium cobalt oxide positive electrode material, a preparation method, a positive electrode plate and a secondary battery.

With the rapid development of intelligent equipment, the coming of the 5G era of a new generation mobile communication network, the requirement of electric equipment on the capacity of a lithium ion battery is continuously improved, and the expectations of people on the improvement of the energy density of the lithium ion battery are higher. Increasing the operating voltage is the most direct and efficient way to increase the energy density of the battery, and therefore, developing high voltage positive electrode materials is an important development direction in the industry.
The high energy density and excellent combination property of lithium cobaltate are always the first choice of the positive electrode material of consumer batteries. LCO of 4.45V and 4.48V is mature in the market and is put into use, and development of lithium cobaltate of 4.5V or higher voltage is gradually carried out. However, various problems are also brought about with the increase of the voltage. The operating voltage reached around 4.5V, which is referred to as the self crystal structure of lithium cobaltate, undergoes an O 3→H1-3→O1 phase change. When the charging voltage reaches 4.55V, the phase change of the crystal structure is irreversible, and lithium ions in the lithium cobaltate cannot be intercalated into the original layered structure, so that the reversible capacity of the lithium battery is reduced. The main embodiments are as follows: 1) The phase transition kinetics becomes worse, resulting in an increase in internal resistance at high potential; 2) The structure is changed greatly, and the structure of O 3 disappears; 3) Cell parameters expand and contract severely; 4) The slipping phase transition is not fully reversible resulting in capacity voltage decay. The macroscopic appearance of the giant cell parameters causes the volume of the material particles to expand and contract, and the change of the particles causes the electrode material to change so as to lead the cell to decay.
Therefore, in order to solve the practical application of the high-voltage lithium cobaltate, the design and regulation of the material end are required to be carried out on the phase change process in the high-voltage region, so that the cycle reversibility of the material end is enhanced, and other performances such as gram capacity and low-temperature exertion are ensured.

As can be seen from the comparison between the embodiment 1 and the comparative examples 2 to 4, the preparation method of doping Al elements by adopting the mixture of the large and small particles can effectively improve the cycle performance of the lithium ion battery, mainly because the Al elements can improve the open-circuit voltage and the ion diffusion coefficient of the material, and the special mode of doping Al by adopting the distribution gradient can effectively improve the bulk phase structural stability of the lithium cobalt oxide in a high-voltage system, thereby effectively improving the cycle performance of the lithium ion battery.
In addition, as can be seen from the comparison of examples 1 to 10 and comparative example 1, the cycle performance of the lithium ion battery is increased along with the increase of the content of the fast ion conductor, mainly because the fast ion conductor can better coat the lithium cobalt oxide modified by the Al element at a large content, so as to ensure the stability of the lithium cobalt oxide and increase the rate of intercalation and deintercalation of lithium ions, and further improve the cycle performance. However, with too high a content of fast ion conductor, the cycle performance of lithium ion batteries tends to decrease, because the output of ions is hindered from affecting the performance of lithium cobalt oxide when the package is too thick.
In conclusion, the modified lithium cobalt oxide positive electrode material obtained by the preparation method provided by the invention overcomes the problems of accelerated capacity fading and unbalanced performance exertion of the conventional lithium cobalt oxide material in a 4.5V system, and effectively improves the first efficiency and the cycle performance of the battery.
