Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of lithium ion batteries, in particular to a cobalt composite hydroxide, a preparation method thereof, a lithium ion battery anode material and a lithium ion battery.
Background
Lithium cobaltate is an inorganic compound of the formula LiCoO 2, which is commonly used as a positive electrode material for lithium ion batteries, and has the appearance of gray black powder. The energy density, charge-discharge multiplying power, safety and other key indexes of the lithium ion battery are mainly limited by the positive electrode material.
At present, the lithium cobalt oxide positive electrode material is a mature positive electrode material, and is widely applied to the 3C (short for three electronic products of computer, communication and consumer electronics) digital field due to the characteristics of high energy density and stable discharge voltage. However, the lithium cobaltate material has the defects of low specific capacity, poor safety, high cost and the like.
In addition, the cathode material can undergo side reactions at the battery-electrolyte interface in the long cycle process, which can lead to problems of dissolution of the cathode material, increase of the internal resistance of the battery, poor thermal safety, rapid decay of charge-discharge cycle capacity and the like.
In view of this, the present invention has been made.
Disclosure of Invention
The first object of the present invention is to provide a cobalt composite hydroxide, which can effectively improve structural stability of the cobalt composite hydroxide, increase specific capacity and cycle capacity retention rate of a battery, and reduce cost by doping Ni and/or Mn; the proportion of each element in the cobalt composite hydroxide is within a specific range, so that the cobalt composite hydroxide with a 100 active surface exposure structure can be obtained, the proportion of a 100 active crystal face of the cobalt composite hydroxide is kept between 10% and 40%, and the 100 active crystal face is exposed in a large area, so that the multiplying power performance of the positive electrode material obtained after sintering can be improved, the contact area between the positive electrode material and electrolyte is reduced, the occurrence of side reaction of the positive electrode material-electrolyte interface is reduced, and excellent cycle performance is obtained.
The second aim of the invention is to provide a preparation method of the cobalt composite hydroxide, which has the advantages of simple operation, mild condition, suitability for mass production and the like.
The third object of the present invention is to provide a positive electrode material for a lithium ion battery, which is excellent in rate performance, and is excellent in cycle performance because the contact area between the positive electrode material and the electrolyte is reduced, and the occurrence of side reactions at the interface between the positive electrode material and the electrolyte is reduced.

As can be seen from the data of each set of comparative example 2, the particle size distribution of the precursor prepared in comparative example 2 becomes broader after the feed flow rate of the complexing agent is reduced, and the particle size non-uniformity is clearly observed in the cobalt composite hydroxide SEM. The primary particle thickness of the cobalt composite hydroxide prepared in comparative example 2 was about 0.1. Mu.m, and the active surface ratio was 6%. The anode material obtained after lithium mixing and sintering has a small amount of agglomeration, and a large amount of gaps exist among primary particles. In the electrical performance test, 1C cycle test is performed, and the capacity retention rate of 100 circles is 83%; the 5C cycle test showed a significant decrease in the battery capacity retention at high rate discharge compared to example 1 at a capacity retention of 48% for 100 cycles.
As can be seen from the data of each group of comparative example 3, the surface of the secondary particles of the cobalt composite hydroxide prepared in comparative example 3 exhibited a disordered state, and did not have an active surface-exposed structure. XRD diffraction shows that the material is in an oxide state, the crystallinity is poor, the particle size distribution (D95-D5)/D50 of the cobalt composite hydroxide reaches 2.66, and the particle size distribution is nonuniform. In the subsequent electrical performance test, both the material capacity and the rate performance were inferior to those of example 1.
