Description

Ternary positive electrode material of two-phase coherent lithium ion battery and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of preparation of lithium ion battery materials, and discloses a ternary positive electrode material of a two-phase coherent lithium ion battery and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Since the 21 st century, new energy electric vehicles have gradually entered human daily life. Lithium ion batteries have successfully taken up the electric automobile application market due to energy density and lifetime advantages. In order to increase the service life and the cruising mileage of an electric vehicle, a ternary positive electrode material with a high specific capacity is being widely used and studied. However, the use of ternary cathode materials in high energy density lithium ion batteries also faces a number of problems. The lithium ion is extracted and intercalated with anisotropic volume change in the charge and discharge process of the ternary positive electrode material, and the process can lead to intragranular cracks and even particle breakage in the positive electrode material, and finally serious degradation of electrochemical performance is caused. Surface coating and element doping processes are often used to alleviate the problem of mechanical failure of ternary positive electrode materials. CN113363478a discloses a commercial lithium-containing compound Li 4Ti5O12 coated ternary cathode material. CN109742336a discloses a W-doped ternary cathode material. The ternary positive electrode material modified by the surface coating and element doping process can inhibit the mechanical failure problem and improve the electrochemical stability, but the surface coating and doping elements can not solve the repeated anisotropic volume change in the particles in the long-cycle process. In view of this, it is indeed necessary to provide a simple method for introducing a co-grown electrochemically inert crystalline phase within the ternary positive electrode material phase for stabilizing the structure to extend the battery life.
Disclosure of Invention

The ternary positive electrode material comprises the components of LiNi xCoyMn1-x-yO2, wherein x is more than 0 and less than 1, and y is more than 0 and less than 1; the new phase of the coherent growth is metal oxide, and further, when the component of the new phase is M xOy, M is one or more of Ni, la, sr, Y, zr, ti, nb, and x and y are required to satisfy valence state balance; when the component is LiM 2O4, M is one or more of Ni, co and Mn; when the component is LiMO 3, where M is one or more of Sr, ti, sn, zr, nb, ta, W, la; when the component is a 4[LiM]O8, wherein a is one or more of Ti, sn, zr, nb, ta, W, la; m is one or more of Mn, co, ni, ti, sn, sr, zr, ta, W. The crystal structure of the new phase grown in the coherent mode is one of a spinel structure, a perovskite structure or a rock salt structure.
The two phases of co-lattice growth in the invention are a new phase which is symbiotic with lamellar phases in the particle phase of the ternary positive electrode material by regulating and controlling the components and technological parameters of the ternary positive electrode material in the material synthesis process. The lamellar phase and the new phase in the ternary positive electrode particle phase grow in a coherent mode, the new phase plays a role of pinning in crystals to prevent collapse of a crystal structure caused by anisotropic volume change in the charge and discharge process, and therefore the mechanical failure problem of the ternary positive electrode material in the circulation process can be relieved.

The second method is that a new phase metal salt solution is not added in the preparation process of precursor powder, but only a transition metal salt solution is added into a ternary coprecipitation reaction kettle, the precursor powder is mixed with a proper amount of lithium salt, the molar ratio of lithium to transition metal is controlled to be less than 1, and the ternary positive electrode material with a spinel structure of a new phase growing in a coherent way is obtained through a heat treatment process 2 in pure oxygen atmosphere;
The third method is that the precursor powder is subjected to a heat treatment process 3 to obtain an oxide precursor material, the oxide precursor material is mixed with a proper amount of lithium salt, and a ternary anode material with a new phase of perovskite structure is obtained through a heat treatment process 4 in pure oxygen atmosphere;
