TABLE 1
As can be seen from table 1, the repose angle of examples 1 to 3 is significantly reduced, while the repose angle of the aluminum-cobalt coated cathode material of comparative example 3, which does not contain fluorine element, is maximized, and it can be seen that the material prepared by the present invention can significantly enhance the fluidity of the cathode material. It can be seen from examples 4 to 5 and comparative examples 5 to 8 that the repose angle can be reduced as the amount of fluorine source added increases, and that the capacity and retention rate can be significantly deteriorated as the amount of fluorine source added increases in combination with the performance data of the lithium ion battery including the positive electrode material in table 2.
The residual alkali of examples 1-5 is far lower than that of comparative examples 1, 2 and 4 and slightly lower than that of comparative example 3, and the residual alkali amount on the surface of the positive electrode material can be effectively reduced by adopting the method of the invention. By comparing comparative examples 9 to 10, it can be seen that the lack of one of the elements of the coating shell layer reduces the total alkali amount, and the replacement thereof becomes poor.
By comparing the specific surface area data of examples 1-3 and comparative example 1, it can be seen that the specific surface area of the fluorine modified core-shell type positive electrode material prepared by the method is not greater than that of the core body of the positive electrode material; it can be seen from examples 4 to 5 and comparative examples 5 to 8 that the angle of repose can be reduced as the amount of fluorine source added increases; it can be seen from examples 8 to 10 that the specific surface area is alkali-reduced with an increase in sintering temperature.
Ternary material scanning electron microscopy images of examples 1-2, comparative example 1 and comparative example 3 are shown in FIGS. 1-4, respectively. It can be seen that in the electron microscope of comparative example 1, the particle surface was smooth without any particles or coating layers, in the electron microscope of comparative example 3, many tiny particles of cobalt and aluminum additives were present on the particle surface, the additives were present in the form of particles, and no coating layers were formed, whereas in examples 1 and 2, the additive particles on the particle surface disappeared due to the addition of a trace amount of fluorine element, instead of a layer of distinct coating, it was confirmed that the additives formed a coating layer and uniformly coated on the particle surface, and the coating rate was large, and the surface roughness of the coating shell was small. And as can be seen from fig. 1, the coating shell is continuously coated on the surface of the nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary positive electrode material serving as a core in a water ripple shape.
Further, in the embodiment 2, the solid-phase reaction temperature is slightly low, additive particles still remain on the surface, after the reaction temperature is increased, the additive particles on the surface of the embodiment 1 completely disappear and form an obvious corrugated coating layer, the continuous coating matrix with water corrugations has relatively small surface roughness and high coating rate; comparative example 1 illustrates that the core surface of the positive electrode material used in the present invention is smooth, while comparative example 3 has many small particles on the surface, which are additive particles, illustrating that the small particles do not form a coating layer but are attached to the surface of the positive electrode material in a particulate state.
The excessive amounts of cobalt source in examples 6 and 11 and aluminum source in example 7 result in excessive amounts of cobalt and aluminum additives, and only a part of the additives form a coating shell during the reaction, while the other part exists in the form of additive particles, thereby increasing the specific surface area of the material; meanwhile, due to the existence of additive particles, the repose angle is increased; compared with examples 1, 6 and 11, with the increase of the addition amount of the cobalt additive, the total alkali is obviously reduced, which indicates that the cobalt additive plays a role in reducing the total alkali; as can be seen from the electrical performance data of table 2, the addition of excess aluminum and cobalt resulted in capacity fade and reduced cycle retention.
In examples 12 and 13, with the increase of the nickel content in the ternary material core structure, the capacity is obviously improved by combining the data in table 2, which shows that the capacity can be improved by increasing the nickel content; however, the nickel content is increased synchronously, so that the cycle retention rate is reduced, and the higher the nickel content is, the worse the retention rate is.
In examples 14 and 15, the ternary material core structure contains doping elements, which is beneficial to improving the electrical performance of the nickel cobalt manganese positive electrode material, and the capacity and the retention rate of the ternary positive electrode material with the core structure containing the doping elements are obviously improved in combination with the data of table 2.
Test case
The positive electrode materials prepared in examples and comparative examples were assembled into a battery, and the battery assembling method specifically comprises:
the positive electrode materials prepared in the examples and the comparative examples, conductive carbon black, polyvinylidene fluoride and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone are mixed and ground according to the mass ratio of 95:2:3, coated on aluminum foil, and then dried, rolled and punched to prepare the electrode plate. Then, a button cell is manufactured in a glove box filled with argon, a negative electrode is a lithium sheet, a polypropylene microporous membrane is a diaphragm, and electrolyte is injected after assembly, so that the button cell of CR2032 can be obtained. The capacity and high temperature cycle performance of the button cell were tested and the results are shown in table 2.
TABLE 2
/>
As can be seen from the results in Table 2, the 0.1C capacity, 1C capacity and retention rate after 80 weeks of circulation of examples 1-15 are all significantly higher than those of comparative examples 1-10, so that the fluorine modified coating layer can improve the electrical properties of the material, the cobalt element is mainly used for improving the capacity and rate capability, the aluminum element is used for improving the high temperature retention rate of the material, and the existence of trace fluorine element not only promotes the fusion of cobalt and aluminum elements, but also can improve the effect of cobalt and aluminum, but also can deteriorate the electrical properties due to the addition of excessive fluorine, thereby playing a negative role, and the three elements complement each other to be unavailable; in addition, examples 9 and 10 reflect that at too high or too low a temperature, the three elements are not effectively combined, resulting in a decrease in capacity and a deterioration in cycle retention.
The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Within the scope of the technical idea of the invention, a number of simple variants of the technical solution of the invention are possible, including combinations of the individual technical features in any other suitable way, which simple variants and combinations should likewise be regarded as being disclosed by the invention, all falling within the scope of protection of the invention.
