Description

Ultra-high nickel single crystal anode material and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of lithium ion batteries, in particular to an ultra-high nickel single crystal cathode material and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the wide application of lithium ion batteries in the fields of electric vehicles, energy storage and the like, the demand of the anode materials, particularly lithium cobaltate, lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide and lithium nickel cobalt aluminate ternary anode materials, is also increased dramatically. However, due to the scarcity of cobalt resources, "high nickel and low cobalt" becomes an important concern and development direction in the lithium ion battery industry in recent years.
The high nickel anode material (Ni molar content is more than 80%) obtains wide attention and research and development by virtue of the advantages of high capacity, low cost and the like, and the industrialization pace is gradually accelerated. However, when the Ni content in the layered high-nickel positive electrode material is increased, structural instability is caused by dissimilarity lattice contraction in a deep charge state, local stress concentration is generated along grain boundaries, and microcracks develop, so that the electrolyte infiltrates and erodes the interior of secondary grains, resulting in severe side reactions.
The research finds that the single crystal cathode material has many advantages which are not possessed by the secondary spherical particles, including: the mechanical strength is high, the compaction density is high, and crushing is not easy; secondly, intergranular cracking caused by anisotropic expansion rarely exists; the surface is smooth and can be fully contacted with the conductive agent; fourthly, the surface area is smaller.
The preparation of the prior ultra-high nickel single crystal anode material needs to adopt higher calcination temperature, increase the content of lithium salt or add fluxing agent, and a multi-step calcination process to promote the growth of single crystal particles, so that Ni is caused under the condition of high temperature 3+ The decomposition causes the increase of residual alkali on the surface, finally leads to the gelation of the anode slurry and causes coating difficulty; meanwhile, the poor lithium phenomenon occurs in lithium evaporation caused by high-temperature calcination, so that the electrode material Li + /Ni 2+ The cation is mixed and discharged, and finally the reversible specific capacity of the electrode material is sharply reduced; in addition, a washing process is required to remove lithium salts or flux which are not completely reacted, however, the ultra-high nickel material is sensitive to water, resulting in recombination of a surface structure and capacity loss during the washing process.
Therefore, to suppress Li + /Ni 2+ The cation mixed arrangement and the decomposition of lithium nickelate need to use lower temperature (about 700 ℃) to produce the ultra-high nickel single crystal anode material, and the lower temperature is not beneficial to single crystal nucleation, so that the performance of the ultra-high nickel anode material is poor.
Therefore, most of the single crystal positive electrode materials reported so far have a nickel content of less than 90%, and their preparation requires a reduction in lithiation temperature, making it difficult to synthesize single crystal materials by high temperature.
