In order that the invention may be understood more fully, a more particular description of the invention will be rendered by reference to preferred embodiments thereof. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and/or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
The traditional method for preparing the ternary cathode material comprises the following steps: and preparing a precursor containing the ternary main body material but not containing lithium, further sintering the precursor and a lithium source, and lithiating the precursor to obtain the ternary positive electrode material. In order to improve the stability of the ternary cathode material and further provide the recycling performance of the prepared lithium ion battery, technicians often adopt a precipitation method to prepare a precursor containing the ternary main body material with a coating layer but not containing lithium, so that the stability of the ternary cathode material is improved, but the higher service life requirement of the lithium ion battery by modern technology is still difficult to meet.
The skilled person in the present invention found in the study: the karman shape factor psi of the ternary cathode material has a great influence on the stability of the ternary cathode material, and after further research on the conventional technology, it is found that: when the Karman shape coefficient psi of the ternary positive electrode material prepared by the traditional technology is less than 0.8, cracks easily occur in the repeated charge and discharge process when the ternary positive electrode material is applied to a lithium ion battery, so that the battery is thermally out of control and is ignited and exploded.
Based on the above, after a great deal of experiments, the technical staff of the invention obtain the nickel-rich material capable of improving the cycle life of the lithium battery and the preparation method thereof. Specifically, the following is described.
An embodiment of the invention provides a preparation method of a nickel-rich material, which comprises the following steps S10-S30.
Step S10, providing preparation raw materials according to the stoichiometric ratio of the chemical formula shown in the formula (1), wherein the preparation raw materials comprise lithium salt and other metal salts except the lithium salt;
Li(1+a1)NixCoyM(1-x-y)O2 (1),
Wherein a1 is more than or equal to 0.03 and less than or equal to 0.1,0.6 and less than or equal to x is more than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 0.1, y is more than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 0.40, M is at least one of Mn, al, ti, ba, sr, mg, cr, zn, V, cu and Zr.
And S20, taking other metal salts and a part of lithium salts as precursor raw materials to prepare a nickel-rich precursor.
And step S30, mixing the nickel-rich precursor with the rest of lithium salt, and sintering to obtain the nickel-rich material.
In the preparation method of the nickel-rich material, part of lithium salt and other metal salts in the preparation raw materials are used as precursor raw materials to prepare a nickel-rich precursor, so that elements contained in the prepared nickel-rich precursor are the same as the types of elements contained in the finally prepared nickel-rich material, and the nickel-rich precursor and the nickel-rich material have similar macroscopic morphology structures; and then mixing the nickel-rich precursor with the rest of lithium salt in the preparation raw materials, sintering, and carrying out further lithiation on the nickel-rich precursor in the process, wherein the prepared nickel-rich material has a more stable structure and a specific morphology, the Karman shape coefficient psi of the nickel-rich material can reach 0.8 or more, and the cycle service life of the lithium ion battery can be prolonged when the prepared nickel-rich material is used as an anode active material for preparing the lithium ion battery.
The technical personnel of the invention find that in the research of the traditional preparation method of the ternary positive electrode material: on the one hand, the karman shape factor psi of the precursor containing ternary main body material but not containing lithium, which is prepared by some technologies in the traditional preparation method, is more than 0.7, but because the structure of the precursor is far away from the architecture of the final ternary positive electrode material, higher energy is needed in the subsequent sintering lithiation process, namely higher sintering temperature and longer sintering time are needed to be controlled, and meanwhile, more lithium salt is needed to be added in order to avoid volatilization of lithium at high temperature for a long time, so that energy consumption is increased and raw material cost is increased; on the other hand, the karman shape factor ψ of the ternary main body material containing the precursor without lithium prepared by some technologies in the traditional preparation method is less than 0.7, but in order to ensure that lithium salt can quickly permeate into the precursor in the subsequent lithiation process, volatilization is reduced, the high porosity characteristic of a porous structure needs to be maintained, and the subsequent sintering needs to be carried out at a higher temperature. Thus, the finished product prepared by the traditional technology has low Karman coefficient, consumes more energy and has high cost.
In some of these embodiments, the nickel-rich precursor has a karman shape factor ψ of greater than 0.7 and a BET of less than 0.5 square meters per gram.
The Karman shape factor psi of the precursor is more than 0.7 and less than 8;0< BET <0.5.
BET, i.e. specific surface area.
In some embodiments, the sintering step is performed in an oxygen-containing atmosphere at a sintering temperature of 600 ℃ to 700 ℃ for a sintering time of 5 hours to 10 hours.
In the preparation method, the elements contained in the nickel-rich precursor prepared first and the elements contained in the nickel-rich material prepared finally have the same types and similar macroscopic morphology structures, so that the nickel-rich precursor is further lithiated in the subsequent sintering process, the energy required in the process is lower, and the nickel-rich material with stable structure can be obtained at a relatively mild sintering temperature and a relatively short sintering time.

Further, the molecular formula of the nickel-rich precursor is Li c1NixCoyM(1-x-y)Od, c is more than 0 and less than 1, and d is more than 0 and less than or equal to 2.1.
It should be noted that, during the preparation of the nickel-rich precursor, the lithium salt may volatilize, so that the composition ratio of the prepared nickel-rich precursor and the ratio of the precursor raw materials may come in and go out, wherein c1 may be the same as or different from the value of c, and accordingly, the ratio of oxygen may also be different.
In some embodiments, the nickel-rich material has a molecular formula of Li (1+a2)NixCoyM(1-x-y)O(2-b); -a 2 is more than or equal to 0.10 and less than or equal to 0.20, -b is more than or equal to 0.05 and less than or equal to 0.10.

Further, the molecular formula of the nickel-rich material is Li 1NixCoyM(1-x-y)O2.
