Description

Nickel cobalt lithium manganate gradient positive electrode material and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of positive electrode materials, in particular to a nickel cobalt lithium manganate gradient positive electrode material and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The nickel cobalt lithium manganate ternary lithium ion battery anode material is widely applied to the field of new energy automobiles due to high energy density.
High nickel enrichment is generally employed to maximize reversible capacity. However, as the nickel content increases, the cation mix of the high nickel material becomes more and more, and the cycle and thermal stability gradually decrease, thereby resulting in a decrease in the cycle life of the battery. Thus, there is a study to improve the stability of the material interface and the cycle life of the battery by controlling the nickel content from the core to the particle surface to gradually decrease, i.e., higher nickel content in the core contributes to higher discharge capacity, and higher cobalt manganese content in the outer layer provides more structural stability. However, the difference in composition and structure between the core and the shell occurs during sintering, so that the core and the shell shrink to different degrees during circulation and gradually separate, thereby inhibiting the diffusion-migration process of ions/electrons between the core and the shell, and causing the material to be degraded in long-term circulation performance.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to overcome the technical defects, provides a nickel cobalt lithium manganate gradient positive electrode material and a preparation method thereof, and solves the technical problem that the material performance is reduced due to unreasonable sintering process of the nickel cobalt lithium manganate gradient positive electrode material with gradient change of nickel content in the prior art.
During the test, the inventors found that, since the nickel content gradually increases from the outer shell to the inner core, the nickel in the inner core portion gradually diffuses toward the surface during the sintering due to the concentration diffusion mechanism, the manganese and cobalt contents of the surface are higher than the inner core, gradually diffuses toward the inside, and theoretically the optimum calcination temperature from the core to the shell is gradually increased. It is therefore desirable to subject the core-shell to respective optimum sintering conditions by temperature gradient calcination to avoid the occurrence of core-shell composition and structural differences during sintering, resulting in different degrees of shrinkage and gradual separation of the core-shell during cycling, thereby improving the long-term cycling performance of the material.
Based on the above, the first aspect of the invention provides a preparation method of a nickel cobalt lithium manganate gradient positive electrode material, which comprises the following steps:
obtaining a nickel cobalt lithium manganate gradient anode material precursor; the nickel content in the nickel cobalt lithium manganate gradient anode material precursor is reduced from the inner core to the outer shell in a gradient manner, and the cobalt and manganese content is increased from the inner core to the outer shell in a gradient manner;
uniformly mixing the precursor of the nickel cobalt lithium manganate gradient anode material with a lithium source, and then carrying out gradient calcination to obtain the nickel cobalt lithium manganate gradient anode material; wherein, the gradient calcining process comprises the following steps: the calcination temperature is controlled so that the calcination temperature gradient is reduced.
The second aspect of the invention provides a nickel cobalt lithium manganate gradient positive electrode material, which is obtained by the preparation method of the nickel cobalt lithium manganate gradient positive electrode material provided by the first aspect of the invention.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects that:
according to the invention, the core-shell is subjected to respective optimal sintering conditions through temperature gradient calcination, so that the core-shell component and the structure difference in the sintering process are prevented from shrinking and gradually separating in different degrees in the circulating process, and the long-term circulating performance of the material is effectively improved.
