Description

Niobium-coated nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary precursor, and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of lithium ion batteries, and particularly relates to a niobium-coated nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary precursor, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
At present, the rapid development of the electric automobile industry promotes the development and application of power batteries, and lithium ion batteries become the first choice of power batteries as secondary batteries with the best comprehensive performance at present. In order to meet the requirement of the market on the long endurance mileage of the electric automobile, the nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary material with high specific capacity is used as the anode, which is an important way for improving the energy density of the power battery. However, since nickel has high activity and strong oxidizability in a charged state, the surface of the nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary positive electrode material is easy to generate redox side reaction with electrolyte, resulting in irreversible phase change and reduced cycle performance. In addition, in the process of charging and discharging, the nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary cathode material has obvious volume change of crystals, and cracks are easily generated on the surfaces of particles, so that the invasion of electrolyte and the integrity of the particles are damaged. The exposure of the high-reactivity surface of the nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary cathode material is reduced, the interface stability is enhanced, and the method is an important key point for improving the performance of the nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary cathode material.
At present, the surface interface of the nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary positive electrode material is mainly modified by means of coating, and substances with high stability, such as oxides, phosphates or ionic conductors, are coated on the surfaces of precursor particles or positive electrode particles, so that direct contact between electrolyte and the surfaces of high-activity positive electrode particles is reduced, and the circulation stability is improved. For example, chinese patent (CN113871583A) discloses a method for preparing a coated ternary precursor, which comprises dissolving a ternary precursor in water in the presence of a solubilizer to obtain a precursor solution, mixing an alcohol coating solution containing a metal salt with the precursor solution, performing solid-liquid separation on the obtained mixture, washing with water, and vacuum-drying to obtain a coated ternary precursor; chinese patent (CN114057235A) discloses a method for coating a nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary precursor with LATP, which comprises the steps of adding a mixed solution of lithium and aluminum with the pH value of 4-5 into a reaction kettle, adding NCM precursor powder, an ammonium bicarbonate solution, an ammonium dihydrogen phosphate solution and a titanium salt solution, centrifuging, washing and drying slurry after reaction to obtain a LATP-coated NCM ternary precursor material; chinese patent (CN114005984A) discloses a lithium niobate-coated and niobium-doped coupling modified high-nickel ternary cathode material, and a preparation method and application thereof.
However, the nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary cathode material prepared by the prior art method has poor interface stability, and the cycle performance of the battery needs to be improved. The existing coating process is independent of the synthesis process of the conventional precursor and the anode material, and additional coating equipment and auxiliary materials are needed, so that the production cost is increased. In addition, the added coating process prolongs the production time of the product, and the change of the coating conditions improves the operation complexity of the production, thus being unfavorable for the popularization and the application of the nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary cathode material coating process.
