LiCoO as the anode material on the market 2 And ternary materials (NCM), all of which cannot satisfy the above conditions at the same time, mainly because the price of cobalt element is continuously high, and cobalt is also a non-environment-friendly element. Ni in ternary material in charge-discharge process 2+ And Li + The mixed discharging of the lithium-rich manganese-based layered oxide causes poor circulation stability, in addition, the high nickel material has serious gas production problem and poor low-temperature performance, the development of the high nickel material is further restricted, and the lithium-rich manganese-based layered oxide (without cobalt) has specific capacity higher than 300mAh/g and energy density of 1000Wh/kg, and is considered to be one of the most promising positive electrode materials in the next generation of lithium ion batteries. In addition, the lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material is low in cost and environment-friendly, but the problems of poor cycle stability and serious voltage drop exist in the current lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material (without cobalt), and the industrial development of the lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material is seriously restricted.
CN113072101A discloses a cobalt-free cathode material, a preparation method and an application thereof, wherein the preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) mixing lithium source and precursor Ni x Mn y (OH) 2 Mixing with a dopant, and carrying out primary heat treatment to obtain a base material; (2) and (2) mixing the base material obtained in the step (1) with a coating agent, and carrying out secondary heat treatment to obtain the cobalt-free anode material. It adopts single cobalt-free material, and has poor cycle stability.
CN112133903A discloses a method for preparing a cobalt-free cathode material, which comprises the following steps (1) of preparing a cobalt-free cathode material precursor: (1a) mixing nickel salt and manganese salt solution, adding a nano additive, and performing ultrasonic treatment; (1b) adding the mixed solution into a reaction kettle in a nitrogen atmosphere, adding a mixed alkali solution of strong base and ammonia water, adjusting the pH to 9-12, reacting at the temperature of 40-60 ℃, and washing, filtering and drying after the reaction is finished; (2) and (3) high-temperature sintering: and (3) uniformly mixing lithium hydroxide and the powder obtained in the step (1b), calcining at the constant temperature of 700-1000 ℃ for 5-20 h, and naturally cooling to obtain the cobalt-free anode material. The single cobalt-free material is adopted, and in the circulation process, due to lattice oxygen release and structure conversion, the structure collapse is caused in the process of lithium ion intercalation and deintercalation, and in the process, part of free lithium ions are deposited on the surface, so that the circulation stability is poor, and the commercial application is difficult.
Therefore, how to improve the cycle performance of the cobalt-free cathode material (layered lithium nickel manganese oxide cathode material) and reduce the voltage drop thereof is a technical problem to be solved urgently.

According to the invention, the coating is a film-shaped coating, and a layer of film is formed on the surface of the anode material, so that compared with the conventional point-shaped coating, the coating has the advantages of more uniform coating effect and capability of effectively preventing the electrolyte from damaging the anode material.

The comparative example differs from example 8 in that 80g of the precoating material of step (1) and 0.2702g of Al are used for the coating in step (2) of the comparative example 2 O 3 And after uniformly mixing, putting the mixture into a box-type atmosphere furnace, calcining the mixture for 5 hours at 700 ℃, and sieving the mixture after sintering to obtain the common oxide-coated layered lithium nickel manganese oxide cathode material.
The remaining preparation methods and parameters were in accordance with example 1.
The cathode materials provided in examples 1 to 8 and comparative examples 1 to 4 were subjected to slurry coating, wherein the cathode material was superconducting carbon black SP, polyvinylidene fluoride glue solution was 90:5:5, and the solid content of PVDF glue solution was 6.05%. And performing electric buckling assembly on the prepared pole piece by adopting a BR2032 shell.
The positive electrode materials provided in examples 1 to 8 and comparative examples 1 to 4 were subjected to electrochemical performance tests under the following test conditions: the results of the charge and discharge test at a charge and discharge current of 1C, which gave a capacity retention ratio after 50 weeks of the cycle and a voltage decay after 50 weeks, are shown in table 1.
TABLE 1
Figure BDA0003571264920000121
From the data results of examples 1 and 4, it is understood that when the pre-firing temperature is too high, metallic precipitation and oxygen loss occur, and irreversible circulating substances are generated, thereby lowering the cycle stability and increasing the voltage decay.
As is clear from the data results of examples 1 and 5, the concentration of the hydrophobic organic material solution is too high, which is disadvantageous to uniform dispersion of the positive electrode material particles in the hydrophobic organic material solution, resulting in non-uniform coating and thus reduced cycle stability.
From the data results of examples 1 and 6, it is understood that the temperature during the stirring process is too high, and the electrochemical properties of the positive electrode material prepared thereby are degraded.
From the data results of example 1 and example 7, it is known that too short stirring time results in too short reaction time, so that the organic matter is not ready to form uniform coating with the lithium nickel manganese oxide cathode material, thereby causing the electrochemical performance to be reduced.
From the data results of example 1 and example 8, it is known that the use of a mixture of the pre-sintered precursor and the hydroxide precursor can effectively control the growth process of the crystal grains, and the sintered particles have less agglomeration, thereby improving the cycle stability.
As can be seen from the data results of example 1 and comparative example 1 (example 8 and comparative example 2), without coating, it is impossible to achieve improvement of the cycle stability of the cobalt-free lithium-rich material during battery cycling and reduction of the voltage drop caused by structural transformation of the cobalt-free lithium-rich cathode material.
From the data results of example 1 and comparative example 2 (example 8 and comparative example 4), it is understood that the positive electrode material obtained by coating the hydrophobic organic substance in the present invention has higher cycle performance and reduced voltage attenuation amplitude compared to the dot-shaped coating of the conventional oxide.
In conclusion, the surface of the layered lithium nickel manganese oxide positive electrode material is coated with the special hydrophobic organic cholesterol dodecyl carbonate, so that the surface of the positive electrode presents hydrophobicity, the electrochemical performance reduction of the positive electrode material caused by the water absorption of the surface of the layered lithium nickel manganese oxide (cobalt-free positive electrode material) in a high-moisture environment can be prevented, and meanwhile, a stable Mn-C ═ O bond is formed with the surface of the positive electrode material, so that the cycle stability and the voltage drop of the lithium nickel manganese oxide positive electrode material are effectively improved. According to the battery provided by the invention, the discharge specific capacity under 1C can reach more than 205.8mAh/g, the capacity retention rate after 50-week circulation can reach more than 94.4%, and the voltage attenuation after 50 weeks is below 3.85%; the precursor material is a mixed material of a hydroxide precursor and an oxide precursor, and after the presintering temperature, the concentration of hydrophobic organic matters and the stirring time in the coating process are further adjusted, the discharge specific capacity of the battery under 1C can reach more than 210.4mAh/g, the capacity retention rate after 50 cycles can reach more than 96.8 percent, and the voltage attenuation after 50 cycles is less than 2.81 percent.
