Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of batteries, relates to an electrode material, and in particular relates to a water-washing-free high-magnification hollow high-nickel positive electrode material, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Lithium ion batteries mainly rely on lithium ions to reciprocate between positive and negative electrodes, li during charge and discharge + To-and-fro intercalation and deintercalation between two electrodes: during charging, li + De-intercalation from the positive electrode, and embedding the negative electrode through electrolyte to enable the negative electrode to be in a lithium-rich state; the opposite is true when discharging. The lithium ion battery has the advantages of high energy density, good environmental compatibility, long cycle life and low self-discharge rate, and is widely applied to the fields of portable electronic equipment, electric automobiles, aerospace, power generation base stations and the like.
Currently, commercial lithium ion battery cathode materials include spinel lithium manganate (LiMn 2 O 4 ) Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO) 4 ) Lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO) 2 ) And ternary positive electrode materials (NCM), which are high nickel ternary positive electrode materials, are solutions to increase energy density and reduce production costs due to the current power cell requirements for energy density.
However, the high-nickel ternary positive electrode material has the defect of high content of residual alkali on the surface, is very sensitive to environmental humidity, is a relatively outstanding problem that the electrochemical performance of the material is affected in practical application, and is commonly used for removing the residual alkali on the surface by water washing.

However, the water washing process is easy to destroy Li in the surface lattice of the material + The NiO inert layer without electrochemical activity is generated, the surface phase structure of the material is destroyed, and the electrochemical property of the material is also influencedThe chemical properties.
In addition, the high-nickel ternary positive electrode material is unstable Ni in the charge and discharge process 4+ In addition, the material structure is easy to change from a lamellar state to a spinel phase and finally to change into a rock salt phase. This gradual phase change transition from the surface to the inner layer of the material results in a reduction of the active material, which results in an irreversible capacity decay and thus an impact on the cycle performance. Moreover, since the nickel content is high and the Li removal of the high-nickel ternary positive electrode material is insufficient under high-rate charge and discharge, li in the Li layer + The content is higher, the vacancy is less, and the Ni element is prevented from being mixed and discharged into the Li layer.
CN 109167056a discloses a tungsten ion doped high nickel layered oxide lithium battery anode material and a preparation method thereof, the preparation method comprises the following steps: dissolving a nickel source, a cobalt source and a manganese source to obtain a mixed metal salt solution; adding inorganic strong base and ammonia water solution into the mixed metal salt solution to adjust the pH value to 10.6-11.5, stirring for reaction, filtering, washing and drying to obtain a high-nickel ternary precursor material containing nickel, cobalt and manganese; mixing a high-nickel ternary precursor material, a tungsten source and a lithium source to obtain a doped ternary precursor mixture; calcining the doped ternary precursor mixture, and grinding to obtain the tungsten ion doped high-nickel layered oxide lithium battery anode material. However, the initial discharge performance of the material is only 150mAh/g under the conditions that the voltage range is 2.7-4.3V, the test temperature is 25 ℃, the capacity retention rate of 100 circles is 95%, and the material has good cycle performance but poor rate performance.
Accordingly, it is required to provide a method capable of increasing Li + Diffusion speed in charge and discharge process, high-magnification hollow high-nickel anode material for reducing material structure phase transition, and preparation method and application thereof.

TABLE 1
In conclusion, the high nickel material is prepared by the preparation method provided by the invention without washing, and the agglomeration phenomenon among the sintering materials can be relieved by adding the coating agent; the tungsten oxide can be distributed on the surface and the grain boundary of the primary particles during sintering, so that the growth of the primary particles is hindered, the effect of refining the primary grains is achieved, and the finally obtained water-washing-free high-magnification hollow high-nickel positive electrode material has excellent magnification performance; the nickel cobalt hydroxide is dehydrated through heat treatment, and the obtained nickel cobalt oxide has higher reactivity and larger specific surface area, and is convenient to combine with lithium salt. Although the high reactivity and the large specific surface area are easy to cause agglomeration after being combined with lithium salt, the agglomeration phenomenon can be relieved by matching with the subsequent operation of coating agent and heat treatment, and the rate capability of the material is improved.
