LiCoO as the positive electrode material in the market 2 And ternary materials (NCM), all of which cannot meet the above conditions at the same time, mainly because cobalt is an environmentally unfriendly element as well as the price of cobalt continues to rise. Ni in charge-discharge process in ternary material 2+ And Li (lithium) + The mixed discharge of the nickel-rich and manganese-rich layered oxygen has poor circulation stability, and in addition, the high nickel material has serious gas production problem and poor low-temperature performance, so that the development of the nickel-rich and manganese-rich layered oxygen is further restrictedThe compound (without cobalt) has specific capacity higher than 300mAh/g and energy density of 1000Wh/kg, and is considered as one of the most promising positive electrode materials in the next generation of lithium ion batteries. In addition, the cost is low, the environment is friendly, but the current lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material (without cobalt) has the problems of poor cycle stability and serious voltage drop, and the industrialization development of the lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material is seriously restricted.
CN113072101a discloses a cobalt-free positive electrode material, a preparation method and application thereof, wherein the preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) Lithium source and precursor Ni x Mn y (OH) 2 Mixing with a doping agent, and carrying out primary heat treatment to obtain a matrix material; (2) And (3) mixing the substrate material obtained in the step (1) with a coating agent, and performing secondary heat treatment to obtain the cobalt-free anode material. The single cobalt-free material is adopted, so that the cycle stability is poor.
CN112133903a discloses a preparation method of a cobalt-free positive electrode material, which comprises the following steps (1) preparation of a cobalt-free positive electrode material precursor: (1a) Mixing nickel salt and manganese salt solution, adding 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 alkali and ammonia water, adjusting the pH value to 9-12, reacting at 40-60 ℃, and washing, filtering and drying after the reaction is finished; (2) high-temperature sintering: and (3) uniformly mixing lithium hydroxide with the powder obtained in the step (1 b), calcining at the constant temperature of 700-1000 ℃ for 5-20 h, and naturally cooling to obtain the cobalt-free anode material. The lithium ion battery adopts a single cobalt-free material, and during the cyclic process, due to the release of lattice oxygen and the structural transformation, the lithium ion causes structural collapse during the intercalation and deintercalation process, wherein partial free lithium ion is deposited on the surface to cause poor cyclic stability, and the lithium ion battery is difficult to be applied commercially.
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 is a technical problem to be solved.

According to the invention, the surface of the positive electrode is rendered hydrophobic by the special hydrophobic organic matter cholesterol dodecyl carbonate coated on the surface of the layered lithium nickel manganese oxide positive electrode material, so that the electrochemical performance of the positive electrode material is reduced due to water absorption on the surface of the layered lithium nickel manganese oxide positive electrode material in a high-moisture environment, and meanwhile, stable Mn-C=O bonds are formed with the surface of the positive electrode material, thereby effectively improving the cycling stability and voltage drop of the lithium nickel manganese oxide positive electrode material.
In the invention, cholesterol dodecyl carbonate has a stronger delocalized electron region, can absorb residual lithium on the surface of the lithium nickel manganese oxide positive electrode material, so that residual alkali of the lithium nickel manganese oxide positive electrode material is reduced, thereby improving the circulation stability, and the specific electron region can improve Li + The migration rate of the whole lithium nickel manganese oxide anode material is improved; and the cholesterol dodecyl carbonate and the surface of the lithium nickel manganese oxide positive electrode material form a special bonding mechanism, so that the phase change process of the positive electrode material in the battery cycle process can be inhibited, and a special elastic network can be formed on the uniform surface, so that the deformation of the positive electrode in the battery cycle process is weakened, and the voltage drop of the battery in the battery cycle process can be effectively reduced.
In the invention, the coating is membranous, a layer of film is formed on the surface of the positive electrode material, and compared with the conventional punctiform coating, the coating has the advantages of more uniform coating effect and effective blocking of the damage of the electrolyte to the positive electrode material.
Preferably, the thickness of the coating film of the hydrophobic organic substance is 10 to 50nm, for example, 10nm, 15nm, 20nm, 25nm, 30nm, 35nm, 40nm, 45nm, 50nm, or the like.
In the present invention, the thickness of the coating film of the hydrophobic organic substance is too thin, so that the purpose of alleviating the structural damage during the battery cycle cannot be achieved, and if the thickness of the coating film is too thick, the capacity of the positive electrode material is affected.
In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing the layered lithium nickel manganese oxide positive electrode material according to the first aspect, the method comprising the steps of:
(1) Mixing a nickel-manganese precursor with a lithium source, and sintering to obtain a pre-coated layered lithium nickel manganese oxide anode material;
(2) Mixing and coating the pre-coated layered lithium nickel manganese oxide anode material, hydrophobic organic matters and a solvent to obtain the layered lithium nickel manganese oxide anode material;
wherein the hydrophobic organic matter comprises cholesterol dodecyl carbonate.
According to the invention, the surface of the layered lithium nickel manganese oxide positive electrode material is coated with the cholesterol dodecyl carbonate which is a special hydrophobic organic substance, and the surface of the positive electrode presents hydrophobicity, so that the electrochemical performance of the positive electrode material is reduced due to water absorption on the surface of the layered lithium nickel manganese oxide (cobalt-free positive electrode material) in a high-moisture environment, and meanwhile, a stable Mn-C=O bond is formed with the surface of the positive electrode material, so that the cycling stability and voltage drop of the lithium nickel manganese oxide positive electrode material are effectively improved.
Preferably, the nickel manganese precursor includes a nickel manganese oxide precursor and a nickel manganese hydroxide precursor.
According to the invention, through mixing the nickel-manganese oxide precursor and the nickel-manganese hydroxide precursor, the growth process of crystal grains can be effectively controlled, and the sintered particles are less in agglomeration, so that the cycling stability of the positive electrode material is improved.
Preferably, the mass ratio of the nickel manganese oxide precursor and the nickel manganese hydroxide precursor is (0.2-1): 1, for example 0.2:1, 0.3:1, 0.4:1, 0.5:1, 0.6:1, 0.7:1, 0.8:1, 0.9:1, 1:1, or the like.
In the invention, the excessive mass ratio of the nickel-manganese oxide precursor to the nickel-manganese hydroxide precursor, namely more than 1:1, can cause serious particle agglomeration and uneven particle growth in the later sintering process, thereby affecting the cycle stability of the battery and increasing the gas production.
Preferably, the nickel manganese oxide precursor is obtained by presintering a nickel manganese hydroxide precursor.
Preferably, the temperature of the burn-in is 500 to 700 ℃, for example 500 ℃, 530 ℃, 550 ℃, 580 ℃, 600 ℃, 630 ℃, 650 ℃, 68 ℃, 0 or 700 ℃, etc.

In the invention, the stirring temperature is too high, so that the electrochemical performance of the prepared positive electrode material is reversely reduced, namely organic matters are unfavorable for growing on the surfaces of particles at high temperature, and even if the organic matters grow on the surfaces of the particles, the surface coating is uneven due to the acceleration of high-temperature movement, so that the electrochemical performance of the prepared layered lithium nickel manganese oxide positive electrode material is reduced.
Preferably, the stirring time is 2 to 6 hours, for example 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours or 6 hours, etc.
In the invention, the stirring time is too short, so that the reaction time is too short, thereby leading the organic matters to be coated uniformly with the cobalt-free lithium-rich positive electrode material, and finally leading the electrochemical performance to be reduced.
Preferably, the concentration of the hydrophobic organic solution is 1 to 3mol/L, for example 1mol/L, 1.1mol/L, 1.3mol/L, 1.5mol/L, 1.8mol/L, 2mol/L, 2.3mol/L, 2.5mol/L, 2.8mol/L, 3mol/L, or the like.

(2) Firstly, dissolving the hydrophobic organic matters in a solvent to obtain a hydrophobic organic matter solution with the concentration of 1-3 mol/L, then adding the pre-coated layered lithium nickel manganese oxide positive electrode material obtained in the step (1), stirring for 2-6 hours at the temperature of 25-80 ℃, carrying out suction filtration, and drying to obtain the layered lithium nickel manganese oxide positive electrode material;
wherein the hydrophobic organic matter comprises cholesterol dodecyl carbonate; the nickel-manganese oxide precursor is obtained by presintering a nickel-manganese hydroxide precursor at 500-700 ℃ for 5-10 hours.
In a third aspect, the present invention also provides a lithium ion battery comprising a layered lithium nickel manganese oxide cathode material according to the first aspect.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects:
according to the invention, the surface of the positive electrode is rendered hydrophobic by the special hydrophobic organic matter cholesterol dodecyl carbonate coated on the surface of the layered lithium nickel manganese oxide positive electrode material, so that the electrochemical performance of the positive electrode material is reduced due to water absorption on the surface of the layered lithium nickel manganese oxide positive electrode material in a high-moisture environment, meanwhile, stable Mn-C=O bonds are formed with the surface of the positive electrode material, the growth process of crystal grains is effectively controlled by mixing and collocating the precursors, the sintered particles are less in agglomeration, and the cycle stability and voltage drop of the lithium nickel manganese oxide positive electrode material are finally improved.

The difference between this comparative example and example 8 is that step (2) was not performed in the preparation method of this comparative example, i.e., the surface of the positive electrode material was not coated.
The remaining preparation methods and parameters were consistent with example 1.
Comparative example 4
The difference between this comparative example and example 8 is that the coating process in step (2) of this comparative example is to take 80g of the pre-coating material in step (1) and 0.2702g of Al 2 O 3 And (3) after uniformly mixing, placing the mixture into a box-type atmosphere furnace, calcining for 5 hours at 700 ℃, and sieving after sintering to obtain the common oxide coated layered lithium nickel manganese oxide anode material.
The remaining preparation methods and parameters were consistent with example 1.
The positive electrode materials provided in examples 1 to 8 and comparative examples 1 to 4 were subjected to a slurry coating, wherein the positive electrode material was superconductive carbon black SP, polyvinylidene fluoride glue solution=90:5:5, and pvdf glue solution had a solid content of 6.05%. And buckling and assembling 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 conditions: the charge and discharge test was performed at a charge and discharge current of 1C, and the capacity retention after 50 weeks and the voltage decay after 50 weeks were obtained, and the results are shown in table 1.
TABLE 1
As is clear from the data obtained in examples 1 and 4, too high a burn-in temperature caused metallic precipitation and oxygen loss, and the generation of irreversible circulating substances reduced the circulating stability and increased the voltage drop.
As is clear from the data of examples 1 and 5, too high a concentration of the hydrophobic organic solution is detrimental to uniform dispersion of the positive electrode material particles in the hydrophobic organic solution, resulting in uneven coating and reduced cycle stability.
From the data of example 1 and example 6, it is understood that the temperature during stirring is too high, and the electrochemical properties of the positive electrode material thus obtained are degraded.
As is clear from the data of example 1 and example 7, the stirring time is too short, resulting in a reaction time period and thus an organic matter that does not reach completion of uniform coating with the lithium nickel manganese oxide cathode material, resulting in a decrease in electrochemical performance.
From the data of examples 1 and 8, it is apparent that the use of the pre-firing precursor and the hydroxide precursor in combination can effectively control the growth process of the crystal grains, and the sintered particles are less agglomerated, thereby improving the cycle stability.
As is clear from the data results of example 1 and comparative example 1 (example 8 and comparative example 2), without coating, it was not possible to achieve improvement in the cycling stability of the cobalt-free lithium-rich material during the cycling of the battery and reduction in the voltage drop caused by the structural transformation of the cobalt-free lithium-rich cathode material.
From the data of example 1 and comparative example 2 (example 8 and comparative example 4), it is understood that the cathode material coated with the hydrophobic organic compound in the present invention has higher cycle performance and lower voltage decay amplitude than the dot-shaped coating of the conventional oxide.
In conclusion, the surface of the layered lithium nickel manganese oxide anode material is coated with the cholesterol dodecyl carbonate which is a special hydrophobic organic substance, and the surface of the anode presents hydrophobicity, so that the electrochemical performance of the anode material is reduced due to water absorption on the surface of the layered lithium nickel manganese oxide (cobalt-free anode material) in a high-moisture environment, and meanwhile, stable Mn-C=O bonds are formed with the surface of the anode material, so that the cycling stability and voltage drop of the lithium nickel manganese oxide anode material are effectively improved. The specific discharge capacity of the battery provided by the invention under 1C can reach more than 205.8mAh/g, the capacity retention rate after 50 weeks of circulation can reach more than 94.4%, and the voltage decay after 50 weeks is less than 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 specific discharge capacity of the battery under 1C can reach more than 210.4mAh/g, the capacity retention rate after 50 weeks of circulation can reach more than 96.8%, and the voltage decay after 50 weeks is less than 2.81%.
