Detailed Description
The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.
Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides a positive electrode composite material, which has a core-shell structure and includes a lithium iron manganese phosphate material 10 (serving as a core) and a coating layer 20 coated on a surface of the lithium iron manganese phosphate material 10. The coating layer 20 comprises a high-nickel ternary material which is a single crystal material, and the half-peak width of the (003) peak in the XRD pattern is less than or equal to 0.09 degrees. The coating layer 20 is further doped with a first conductive agent 30, and the first conductive agent 30 is linear and/or planar, wherein the linear first conductive agent includes at least one of carbon fibers and carbon nanotubes, and the planar first conductive agent includes at least one of graphene and graphite micro-sheets.
In the application, a layer of high-nickel ternary single crystal material is coated on the surface of the LMFP material, and therefore the coating layer can prevent the LMFP from directly contacting with the electrolyte, the high-nickel ternary single crystal material has better water absorbability, can absorb water in the electrolyte, inhibit the formation of HF in the electrolyte, stabilize the structure of the LMFP material, improve the problem of manganese dissolution of the LMFP material, enable the integral anode composite material to have higher structural stability, and improve the cycle performance of the anode composite material. Secondly, compared with the high nickel ternary material in the form of an aggregate, the high nickel ternary material in the form of a single crystal has higher structural stability, and a voltage synergistic effect exists between the high nickel ternary material and the LMFP material, so that the phase change of the high nickel ternary material from H2 to H3 can be slowed down by the existence of the LMFP, the structural stability of the high nickel ternary material can be further improved, and the high nickel ternary material has higher stability in the battery cycle process.
Wherein the structural general formula of the high-nickel ternary material is LiNixCoyMzWherein M is at least one of Mn, Al, Zr, Ti, Y, Sr and W, x is more than or equal to 0.70 and less than or equal to 0.98, and x is more than or equal to 0.70 and less than or equal to 0.98<y<1,0<z<1, and x + y + z is 1. Preferably, 0.80. ltoreq. x.ltoreq.0.90, more preferably 0.83. ltoreq. x.ltoreq.0.88. When the value of x is higher, the ternary material can be called as a high-nickel ternary single crystal material, has higher specific capacity and better rate performance, and is very easy to adsorb moisture due to high alkalinity. Preferably, y satisfies: y is more than or equal to 0.01 and less than or equal to 0.33, and z satisfies the following condition: z is more than or equal to 0.01 and less than or equal to 0.33.
In the application, the half-peak width of the (003) plane diffraction peak in the XRD spectrum of the high-nickel ternary material is less than or equal to 0.09 degrees (see figure 2). Wherein, the (003) plane diffraction peak corresponds to the distribution position of transition metals (Ni, Co and Mn). The lower half-peak width indicates that the high nickel ternary material has extremely high crystallinity, is a single crystal material and is not an aggregate. The single crystal type high nickel ternary material has high crystallization degree and high structural stability, can still maintain a stable structure after absorbing water, and has long cycle performance. The lithium iron manganese phosphate material 10 is coated by a single-crystal high-nickel ternary material, so that the obtained positive electrode composite material has good cycle performance.
Optionally, the high nickel ternary material has a particle size of 3.5-5.5 μm.
In the application, the lithium iron manganese phosphate material 10 may be an aggregate, may also be a single crystal-like material, and may also be a mixture of an aggregate and a single crystal-like material. The LMFP material in the single-crystal-like form is composed of one or a few (no more than 5) LMFP primary particles with few internal grain boundaries. The LMFP material in the form of an agglomerate is a secondary particle material formed by agglomeration of a plurality of primary particles of LMFP, with many internal grain boundaries.

Alternatively, the particle size D50 of the LMFP aggregate may be 10 to 15 μm, and the particle size D50 of the LMFP-like single crystal may be 1.2 to 2.5 μm. The LMFP aggregate has larger grain diameter, so that the grain diameter of the primary particles forming the LMFP aggregate is not too small, the specific surface area is not too large, and the LMFP aggregate has higher structural stability.
Optionally, the thickness of the coating layer 20 is 1/50-1/15 of the particle size D50 of the lithium iron manganese phosphate material 10. For example, when the lithium iron manganese phosphate material 10 is an aggregate, the thickness of the coating layer 20 may be 200 to 1000 nm; when the lithium iron manganese phosphate material 10 is a mono-like crystal, the thickness of the coating layer 20 may be 10 to 80 nm. The coating layer 20 has a suitable thickness, which not only can effectively coat the lithium iron manganese phosphate material 10, but also can prevent the ternary material and the lithium iron manganese phosphate material 10 from being separated into two phases, and the thickness can make the positive electrode composite material have good structural stability, higher ionic conductivity and electronic conductivity.

Among them, the linear first conductive agent (carbon fiber, carbon nanotube, etc.) has a large aspect ratio and a long length, and the above-mentioned L is for the carbon nanotube1And may particularly refer to its tube length. The planar first conductive agent (graphene, graphite micro-flake, etc.) has a large lateral dimension, and its longitudinal dimension (i.e., thickness) is generally lower than its lateral dimension. The transverse dimension is the length, width or side length of the planar conductive agent, and the maximum value is taken. For example, when the planar conductive agent is a parallelogram, its lateral dimension is the maximum of its length and width, and when the planar conductive agent is an irregular shape, its lateral dimension is its maximum side length.
When the a is controlled within the range, the first conductive agent with certain flexibility can be relatively and completely coated among primary particles of the LMFP to form a proper continuous electron conduction path, and the conductive agent is not easy to agglomerate, so that the electron conductivity of the surface of the LMFP material is obviously improved, and the compaction density of a pole piece prepared from the positive pole composite material is not influenced.
Further optionally, when the LMFP is an agglomerate, the positive electrode composite material satisfies: l is1=b×D50 1(ii) a Wherein L is1The meaning of is as defined above, but here L1In nm, D50 1Represents the particle size D50 in nm of the primary particles of the LMFP agglomerates; said D50 1The value range of b is 10-30 within the range of 100-300 nm. Wherein control D50 1In the range of 100-300nm, the LMFP aggregate has higher structural stability. And b is controlled within the range of 10-30, so that the first conductive agent 30 can be prevented from agglomerating in the coating layer 20, a proper electronic continuous conduction path can be formed, and the electronic conductivity of the surface of the cathode composite material is greatly improved.
Optionally, the mass of the first conductive agent 30 accounts for 0.2% -1.5% of the sum of the mass of the ternary single crystal material and the mass of the lithium iron manganese phosphate material 10. Preferably 0.5% to 0.8%. The addition amount of the first conductive agent 30 is small, but the electronic conductivity of the surface of the positive electrode composite material can be obviously improved, and the capacity exertion and the rate capability improvement of the material are facilitated; meanwhile, the first conductive agent has certain flexibility, and when a small amount of the first conductive agent is properly added, the tap density of the positive electrode composite material is basically not influenced, so that the compact density of a pole piece made of the positive electrode composite material is not reduced, and the energy density of the battery is not reduced.
Optionally, the ternary single crystal material accounts for 1% -10% of the sum of the mass of the ternary single crystal material and the lithium iron manganese phosphate material 10. Preferably 2 to 8 percent. The effective coating can be realized by proper mass ratio of the ternary single crystal material, the structural stability of the anode composite material is ensured, and the voltage platform of the anode composite material cannot be reduced.
Optionally, in the positive electrode composite material, the lithium iron manganese phosphate material accounts for 90-99 parts by weight, the ternary single crystal material accounts for 1-10 parts by weight, and the first conductive agent accounts for 0.2-1.5 parts by weight. Further, the weight part of the lithium iron manganese phosphate material can be 92-98 parts, the weight part of the ternary single crystal material can be 2-8 parts, and the weight part of the first conductive agent can be 0.5-0.8 part.
The lithium iron manganese phosphate material 10 serves as a main component of the core of the positive composite material, a higher voltage platform and energy density can be given to the positive composite material, the lithium iron manganese phosphate material is coated by a ternary single crystal material, the manganese dissolving phenomenon of the core can be effectively relieved, the structural stability of the positive composite material is greatly improved, the cycle performance is improved, the conductivity of the positive composite material can be improved by introducing a first conductive agent, and the multiplying power performance of the positive composite material is improved.
Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, before the lithium iron manganese phosphate material 10 is coated with the ternary single crystal material, the surface of the lithium iron manganese phosphate material 10 further has a carbon coating layer, so that the conductivity of the core is further improved.
Correspondingly, the application also provides a preparation method of the cathode composite material, and the cathode composite material is prepared. Wherein, the preparation method comprises the following steps:

In an embodiment of the application, the lithium iron manganese phosphate material can be prepared by the following steps:
(1) mixing raw materials (a manganese source, an iron source, a phosphorus source, a lithium source and a carbon source) for synthesizing LMFP according to a certain mass ratio, adding water, and grinding by a wet method until the particle size of the materials is not more than 60 nm;
(2) spray drying the ground wet material to obtain dry powder;
(3) sintering the dried powder under the atmosphere of oxygen concentration less than 150 ppm;
(4) and (3) airflow crushing the sintered material, and screening and grading to obtain the LMFP material with the required median particle size D50.
Wherein, in the step (1), ferromanganese phosphate can be selected as a manganese source, an iron source and a phosphorus source at the same time. The lithium source may include at least one of lithium hydroxide, lithium carbonate, lithium nitrate, lithium oxalate, lithium dihydrogen phosphate, lithium citrate, and lithium acetate, but is not limited thereto. The carbon source includes at least one of glucose, sucrose, starch, fructose, citric acid, ascorbic acid, and polyethylene glycol, but is not limited thereto.

Alternatively, in the above step (2), the inlet temperature at the time of spray drying may be 150 to 200 ℃, preferably 160 to 180 ℃.
Optionally, in the step (3), the sintering process may include a first temperature-raising section, a first constant-temperature section, a second temperature-raising section, a second constant-temperature section, and a temperature-lowering section in sequence; wherein the first temperature rising section is heated from room temperature to a first constant temperature (such as 400 ℃), and the temperature rising time can be 2.5-3.5 h; the constant temperature time of the first constant temperature section is 3.5-5.5 h; the second temperature rising section is used for rising the temperature from the first constant temperature (such as 400 ℃) to the second constant temperature (such as 600-800 ℃), and the temperature rising time can be 2.5-4.0 h; the constant temperature time of the second constant temperature section can be 2.5-4.5 h; the temperature reduction section is used for reducing the temperature from the second constant temperature to about 50 ℃ for 5.5-7.5 h.

The difference of the preparation method for preparing the LMFP material in the form of the quasi-single crystal and the LMFP material in the form of the aggregate is that: the first constant temperature and the second constant temperature are different during sintering; the pressure at which the air stream breaks up is different. For example, in preparing the LMFP material in a mono-like form, the first constant temperature may be 450 ℃ and the second constant temperature may be 750 ℃; the pressure during the airflow crushing can be 5-8 MPa. When preparing the LMFP material in the form of agglomerates, the first constant temperature may be 400 ℃, and the second constant temperature may be 700 ℃; the pressure during the airflow crushing can be 3-5 MPa.

Figure BDA0002747448640000112
As can be seen from table 2, from comparison between comparative example 1 and example 1, when only LMFP was used as the positive electrode active material (comparative example 1), the content of Mn eluted from the negative electrode material after 2000 cycles of the battery was extremely high, and the capacity retention rate of the battery was also extremely low. In the embodiments 1 to 10, after the LMFP is coated with the high-nickel ternary material NCX and the specific first conductive agent is introduced into the coating layer, the performances of the obtained battery can be improved, and the positive plate has good conductivity and high compaction density. As is clear from comparison between comparative example 5 and example 1, if the ternary material used is not a single crystal material (comparative example 2), the stability of the high nickel ternary material based on the form of agglomerates is poor, the Mn content eluted in the negative electrode material increases, the capacity retention rate of the battery greatly decreases, and the DSC trigger temperature of the positive electrode composite material also decreases. In addition, as is clear from comparison between comparative example 2 and example 4, when the ternary material used is a low nickel ternary material (comparative example 2), the low nickel ternary material has a lower basicity than the high nickel ternary material, and therefore has a weak water absorption ability, and has a weak effect of suppressing HF in the electrolyte solution, and further has a high Mn content eluted from the negative electrode material.
As can be seen from comparison of comparative examples 3 to 4 with example 1, when the coating layer in the positive electrode composite material does not contain a conductive agent, the conductivity of the positive electrode composite material is slightly poor, the resistivity of the positive electrode sheet is high (comparative example 3), the polarization phenomenon of the battery is severe, the capacity loss of the battery due to polarization is large, and the cycle performance is deteriorated; when the conductive agent contained in the coating layer in the positive electrode composite material is not in a linear and/or planar form (for example, graphite in a granular form, comparative example 4), although the resistivity of the positive electrode sheet in comparative example 4 is lowered as compared with comparative example 3, the compaction density of the obtained positive electrode sheet is lower than that of the positive electrode sheet in example 1.
