As shown in fig. 1, a first aspect of embodiments of the present application provides a method for continuously preparing a positive electrode precursor material, including the steps of:
s10, preparing a mixed salt solution of nickel salt, cobalt salt and manganese salt;
s20, adding the mixed salt solution, the alkali liquor and the complexing agent into a reaction kettle for reaction, and monitoring the particle size of materials in the reaction kettle in real time;
s30, when the granularity D50 of the material in the reaction kettle reaches 75% -85% of the target granularity D50, starting a concentration circulating system to control the solid content of the slurry;
s40, when the granularity D50 of the materials in the reaction kettle reaches the target granularity D50, collecting the qualified materials, and purifying to obtain the anode precursor material.
According to the continuous preparation method of the cathode precursor material provided by the embodiment of the application, after the mixed salt solution of nickel salt, cobalt salt and manganese salt is prepared, the mixed salt solution, alkali liquor and complexing agent are added into the reaction kettle for reaction, and in the reaction process, through the complexing action of the complexing agent and the coprecipitation action of the alkali liquor, the nickel-cobalt-manganese salt is converted into hydroxide to form crystal nuclei, and then the crystals continue to grow through agglomeration. By monitoring the particle size of the materials in the reaction kettle in real time, when the particle size D50 of the materials in the reaction kettle reaches 75% -85% of the target particle size D50, a concentration circulating system is started to control the solid content of the slurry, so that the solid content of the slurry is increased, the friction force between spheres in the slurry is increased, the anode precursor grows into particles with better spherical degree, meanwhile, the surface smoothness of the particles is improved, the specific surface area of the particles is reduced, and the tap density of the anode precursor material is increased. If the particle size is less than 75% of the target particle size D50, the concentrator is started, the crystal growth speed is slowed down along with the rise of solid content, the synthesis time reaching the target D50 is too long, and equipment and raw material resources are wasted; if the particle size is larger than 85% of the target particle size D50, the thickener is started, because the actual D50 is close to the target D50, the overshoot phenomenon easily occurs in the particle size growth, and further the actual D50 fluctuation state is formed, the difficulty of particle size stability control is increased, the time for collecting synthetic slurry is prolonged, the resources are wasted, and the cost is increased. The starting node of the concentration circulating system can be too early or too late to form micro powder, and the tap density of the positive electrode precursor material is influenced. And when the granularity D50 of the materials in the reaction kettle reaches the target granularity D50, collecting qualified materials, and purifying to obtain the anode precursor material with high tap density and basically no micro powder. Compared with the traditional mode that a plurality of reaction kettles are required to be connected in series, the continuous preparation method of the anode precursor material in the embodiment of the application simplifies the process and equipment, reduces the production cost, is easy to control, can be widely applied to the continuous process of the anode precursor material, and is particularly suitable for the continuous reaction process of improving the tap density of the hydroxide anode precursor.
In some embodiments, the step of preparing the mixed salt solution of nickel salt, cobalt salt and manganese salt in the step S10 includes: dissolving nickel salt, cobalt salt and manganese salt in water to prepare a mixed salt solution.
In some embodiments, the total concentration of the mixed salt solution is 2-3 mol/L; if the total concentration of the mixed salt solution is smaller, the yield is reduced, and the finished product is increased; if the total concentration of the mixed salt solution is too high, the growth of precursor crystal nuclei is not facilitated.
In some embodiments, the nickel salt comprises at least one of nickel chloride, nickel nitrate, nickel oxalate, nickel sulfate. In some embodiments, the cobalt salt comprises at least one of cobalt chloride, cobalt nitrate, cobalt oxalate, cobalt sulfate. In some embodiments, the manganese salt comprises at least one of manganese chloride, manganese nitrate, manganese oxalate, manganese sulfate. The nickel salt, the cobalt salt and the manganese salt adopted in the embodiment of the application have good solubility, and are favorable for reacting with alkali liquor and a complexing agent in a reaction system to generate anode precursor particles, and the nickel-cobalt-manganese hydroxide precursor material is obtained when the anode precursor particles grow to a target particle size D50. The proportion of nickel salt, cobalt salt and manganese salt is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the application, and the mixed salt solution can be prepared according to the actual application requirement and the molar ratio of nickel, cobalt and manganese in the target anode material.
In some embodiments, in the step S20, the step of adding the mixed salt solution, the alkali solution and the complexing agent into the reaction kettle for reaction includes: adding a base solution with the volume of 70-80% of that of the reaction kettle, adding an alkali solution and a complexing agent under a protective atmosphere with the rotating speed of 100-600 rpm and the temperature of 50-70 ℃, adjusting the pH value of the base solution to 11-12 and the ammonia value to 3-15 g/L, and then, feeding the base solution at a rate ratio of 2: (4-6) adding alkali liquor and mixed salt solution for reaction, and opening unqualified overflow when the slurry in the reaction kettle reaches an overflow port. Wherein the reaction temperature of 50-70 ℃ and the pH value of 11-12 are favorable for the forward reaction of the mixed salt ultra nickel cobalt manganese hydroxide positive electrode precursor. The rotating speed of 100-600 rpm is not only beneficial to improving the sphericity of the anode precursor, but also beneficial to maintaining the structural stability of the anode precursor, if the rotating speed is lower, the sphericity of the product is poorer, and if the rotating speed is higher, the product is easy to crack and break. Further preferably, the rotation speed is 300 to 550 rpm. The ammonia value is 3-15 g/L, the ammonia value is preferably 9-10 g/L, the supersaturation degree of precipitates in the solution can be controlled by properly increasing the ammonia value, the growth rate is controlled, and the whiskers are thicker and densely arranged, so that the tap density of the positive electrode precursor material is improved. In addition, the feed rate ratio was 2: (4-6) adding alkali liquor and mixed salt solution for reaction, adjusting the feeding rate of a complexing agent according to the ammonia value range, and under the condition, facilitating the crystallization of nickel-cobalt-manganese metal ions in the reaction kettle into hydroxide precursor particles.
In some embodiments, the complexing agent is ammonia, which is beneficial for regulating and controlling the ammonia value range in the reaction system.
In some embodiments, the alkaline material in the alkaline solution comprises at least one of sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, which is beneficial to adjust the pH value in the reaction system, so that the nickel-cobalt-manganese metal ions are converted into nickel-cobalt-manganese hydroxide precursor particles.
In some embodiments, the concentration of the alkali solution is 10-11 mol/L. If the concentration of the alkali liquor is lower, the use amount of equipment in the alkali liquor storage tank is increased; if the concentration of the alkali liquor is higher, solid is easy to precipitate, the storage is inconvenient, the operation danger and the corrosion to equipment are increased, and the pH accuracy control in the synthesis process is not facilitated.
In some embodiments, the concentration of the complexing agent is 10-11 mol/L. If the concentration of the complexing agent is low, the shape of the precursor is loose and the tap density is low; if the concentration of the complexing agent is too high, the control of the crystal whisker of the product is influenced, so that other physical and chemical indexes are influenced.
In some embodiments, the step of monitoring the particle size of the material in the reaction vessel in real time includes, but is not limited to: the particle size of the precursor was measured by sampling every 2h during the reaction.
In some embodiments, in the step S30, the target particle size D50 is 6-15 μm; the particle size range is beneficial to improving the tap density of the anode precursor material.
In some embodiments, the step of activating the concentration circulation system to control the solids content of the slurry comprises: and starting a thickener and a slurry circulator in the reaction kettle, fixing the clear water flow of the thickener, and controlling the solid content of the slurry to be 100-500 g/L. When the solid content of the slurry is 100-500 g/L, the friction force among products is increased, the sphericity is better, the porosity of the whisker is reduced, and the tap density is increased. When the solid content of the slurry is low, the sphericity of the product is poor, the whiskers on the surface are loose, the tap density is not high enough, and even micro powder is generated. However, if the solid content of the slurry is too high, the friction force between products is too large, and the products are easy to break and crack.
In some embodiments, in step S40, when the particle size D50 of the material in the reaction kettle reaches the target particle size D50, the qualified material is collected into the slurry transit tank, and when a certain amount of the material is collected in the slurry transit tank, the material is sequentially washed to remove the dissolved residue on the particle surface, dried, sieved to further homogenize the particle size, and subjected to iron removal and other purification processes, so as to obtain the positive electrode precursor material.
In some embodiments, the positive electrode precursor has a tap density of 2.4 to 2.6g/cm 3 . According to the continuous preparation method of the cathode precursor material in the embodiment of the application, through the combined action of the operation steps, the prepared cathode precursor material is good in sphericity, smooth in surface, small in specific surface area, high in tap density and free of micro powder. Is beneficial to improving the capacity, the cycling stability and other electrochemical properties of the anode material.

In some embodiments, the molar ratio of the nickel element, the cobalt element and the manganese element in the nickel-cobalt-manganese hydroxide is (0.5-0.8): (0-0.3): (0.1-0.3). The molar ratio of nickel, cobalt and manganese in the cathode precursor material in the embodiment of the application determines the molar ratio of nickel, cobalt and manganese in the cathode material, and the proportion of nickel, cobalt and manganese affects the capacity, the structural stability and the like of the cathode material. The nickel plays a role in improving the volume energy density of the material, but the cathode material with too high nickel content can also cause the mixed discharge of lithium and nickel, so that the precipitation of lithium is caused; the cobalt has the functions of stabilizing the layered structure of the material and improving the cycle and rate performance of the material, but the actual capacity is reduced due to the excessively high cobalt content; the manganese has the effects of reducing the material cost and improving the material safety and the structural stability, but the excessively high manganese content can damage the layered structure of the material, so that the specific capacity of the material is reduced. In some embodiments, the molar ratio of the nickel element, the cobalt element and the manganese element in the nickel-cobalt-manganese hydroxide is (0.5-0.8): (0.1-0.3): (0.1-0.3). In some embodiments, the molar ratio of nickel, cobalt, and manganese in the nickel, cobalt, and manganese hydroxide includes, but is not limited to 424, 333, or 523, and the like.
