As shown in fig. 1, a first aspect of embodiments of the present application provides a method for preparing a positive electrode composite material, including the following steps:
s10, dissolving a lithium source, a nickel source and the positive active material in an anhydrous solvent, mixing and drying to coat the surface of the positive active material with the lithium source and the nickel source to obtain a composite precursor;
and S20, calcining the composite precursor to obtain the anode composite material with the core-shell structure, wherein the core of the anode composite material is an anode active material, and the shell of the anode composite material is a lithium supplement additive.

The adopted anhydrous solvent can effectively avoid the problems of nonuniform mixing of the precursor coating layer and the like caused by layering of the lithium source in the precipitation process. And then calcining the composite precursor, reacting and converting the lithium supplement additive precursor into a lithium supplement additive in the high-temperature calcining process, and generating a lithium supplement additive coating shell layer on the surface of the positive active material in situ to obtain the positive composite material. According to the preparation method of the cathode composite material, the lithium supplement additive is uniformly and stably coated on the surface of the cathode active material while the lithium supplement additive is prepared, so that the process is simplified, and the lithium supplement additive and the cathode active material are stably combined and uniformly distributed. The method not only can compensate active lithium ions consumed by the formation of the SEI film during the first charge and discharge of the battery, improve the initial capacity, but also can improve the cycling stability of the battery.
In some embodiments, in step S10 above, the nickel source is selected from: niCo 3 、Ni(OH) 2 And NiO. In some embodiments, the lithium source is selected from: liOH and LiNO 3 、C 6 H 5 Li 3 O 7 At least one of (1). The lithium and nickel sources of the above examples of the present application were passed through the followingCalcination treatment to form Li 2 NiO 2 Lithium supplement additives having a relatively low charge plateau, in particular at 3.5V (vs Li/Li) + ) When decomposed with the transition from crystalline to amorphous phase; and the decomposed amorphous phase provides a delithiation capacity of not less than 360mAh/g at the first charge, so that Li 2 NiO 2 The lithium supplement additive has good lithium supplement effect and can provide charge/Li for charge compensation on the negative electrode +
In some embodiments, the positive electrode material is selected from at least one of lithium iron phosphate, lithium cobaltate, lithium manganese iron phosphate, lithium manganate, lithium nickel cobalt aluminate, lithium nickel cobalt manganate, lithium nickel manganese manganate; these positive electrode materials have high gram capacity, and are favorable for improving the energy density of the battery. However, in the first charge and discharge process of these cathode materials, since an SEI film is formed on the surface of the negative electrode, lithium ions are consumed, and the first effect and energy density of the entire battery are reduced. Li formed in situ with surface of positive electrode active material in embodiments of the present application 2 NiO 2 The lithium supplement additive is matched, so that consumed lithium ions can be effectively supplemented, and the first effect and the energy density of the whole battery are improved.
In some preferred embodiments, the positive electrode material comprises lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide and/or lithium nickel cobalt aluminate, and the lithium supplement additive is Li 2 NiO 2 And forming the nickel-rich ternary cathode material. The lithium supplement additive not only can supplement a lithium source for forming an SEI film, but also can play a role in synergy with a nickel source in the ternary cathode material in the lithium supplement additive, so that the reversible discharge specific capacity of the cathode composite material is improved.
In some embodiments, the lithium supplement additive is present in the positive electrode composite material in an amount of 1 to 10% by mass of the shell layer. If the mass ratio of the shell layer of the lithium supplement additive in the positive electrode composite material is too high, on one hand, the positive electrode composite material is easy to absorb water to cause gel failure of the positive electrode composite material when a positive plate is prepared by homogenizing; on the other hand, because the lithium supplement additive of the shell layer has basically irreversible lithium ions in the subsequent charge-discharge cycle process, the amount of lithium intercalation is very small, the capacity additionally provided in the cycle process is very small, and the amount of lithium ions consumed for forming an SEI film in charge-discharge is certain, if the content of the shell layer of the lithium supplement additive is too high, the proportion of the positive active material is reduced, so that the gram capacity of the positive composite material is reduced, and the energy density of the battery is reduced. If the mass ratio of the shell of the lithium supplement additive in the positive electrode composite material is too low, lithium ions consumed by an SEI film cannot be compensated and formed, so that the first effect and the energy density of the battery cannot be improved. In some embodiments, the mass percentage of the shell layer of the lithium supplement additive in the positive electrode composite material includes, but is not limited to, 1-2%, 2-5%, 5-7%, 7-9%, 9-10%, and the like.
In some embodiments, a lithium source, a nickel source and a positive electrode active material are dissolved in an anhydrous solvent, the lithium source and the nickel source are uniformly precipitated and coated on the surface of the positive electrode active material to form a precursor coating layer through a mixing and drying treatment, and the coated lithium supplement additive precursor is converted into a lithium supplement additive through a subsequent calcination treatment.
In some embodiments, the anhydrous solvent is selected from: on one hand, the anhydrous solvents have better dissolution and dispersion effects on a lithium source, a nickel source, a positive active material and the like, and on the other hand, the lithium source is easy to dissolve in water, if the solvents contain water, the lithium source is easy to be layered up and down in the mixing and drying process, so that the lithium source and the nickel source coated on the surface of the positive active material in the composite precursor are unevenly distributed, and the in-situ formation of a coating shell layer by a subsequent positive lithium supplement additive is influenced.
In some embodiments, a lithium source, a nickel source and a positive electrode active material are dissolved in an anhydrous solvent, and stirred for 2-6 hours at a temperature of 80-100 ℃ to slowly evaporate the solvent, i.e., the mixture is dried, and the lithium source and the nickel source of the lithium supplement additive are separated out and coated on the surface of the positive electrode active material to obtain a composite precursor. In some embodiments, the temperature condition of the mixing and drying may be 80-90 ℃, 90-100 ℃ or the like, and the time may be 2-3 hours, 3-4 hours, 4-5 hours, 5-6 hours or the like, until the solvent is sufficiently volatilized to form a coating shell layer of the precursor material.
In some embodiments, the steps described aboveIn step S20, the step of performing the calcination process on the composite precursor includes: keeping the temperature of the composite precursor at 400-500 ℃ for 2-6 hours, heating to 680-780 ℃ and keeping the temperature for 12-24 hours. In the embodiment of the application, the calcination treatment of the composite precursor adopts two stages, firstly, raw material components added by lithium supplement such as a lithium source are molten under the condition that the temperature is 400-500 ℃, and the composite precursor is kept warm for 2-6 hours at this stage, so that the lithium source, the nickel source and the cathode material are mixed in an ionic state, and all the components in the precursor are further mixed uniformly. Then heating to 680-780 ℃ and preserving the temperature for 12-24 hours to ensure that the lithium source and the nickel source fully react to generate Li 2 NiO 2 And (3) a compound of a lithium supplement additive. In some embodiments, the temperature ramp rate includes, but is not limited to, 1 to 10 deg.C/min, which is beneficial for improving the equilibrium of the reaction.
In some embodiments, after obtaining the positive electrode composite material with the core-shell structure, the method further includes a step of forming at least one of an isolation encapsulation layer, an ion conductor encapsulation layer, and an electron conductor encapsulation layer on the outer surface of the shell layer. The isolation packaging layer can effectively isolate moisture, oxygen and the like from contacting with the lithium supplement additive in the positive electrode composite material to destroy the material property, the stability of the positive electrode composite material is improved, the stable lithium supplement effect is realized, and the electrochemical performance of the positive electrode material is stabilized. The ion conductor packaging layer and the electron conductor packaging layer can improve the electron and ion conduction performance of the positive electrode composite material and improve the lithium extraction in the charging process.
In some embodiments, after the core-shell structured positive electrode composite material is obtained, one of the isolation encapsulation layer, the ion conductor encapsulation layer and the electronic conductor encapsulation layer can be formed separately, or more than two encapsulation layers can be prepared. For example, the lithium supplement additive shell layer can be a composite laminated structure of an isolation encapsulating layer and an electronic conductor encapsulating layer, and the isolation encapsulating layer is preferably coated on the outer surface of the lithium supplement additive shell layer, and the electronic conductor encapsulating layer is coated on the outer surface of the isolation encapsulating layer. Or a composite laminated structure of an isolation packaging layer and an ion conductor packaging layer, wherein the isolation packaging layer is coated on the outer surface of the lithium supplement additive shell layer, and the ion conductor packaging layer is coated on the outer surface of the isolation packaging layer. The lithium ion battery can also be a composite laminated structure of an isolation packaging layer, an electronic conductor packaging layer and an ion conductor packaging layer, and the preferred structure is that the isolation packaging layer is coated on the outer surface of the lithium supplement additive shell layer, the ion conductor packaging layer is coated on the outer surface of the isolation packaging layer, and the electronic conductor packaging layer is coated on the outer surface of the ion conductor packaging layer; or the isolation packaging layer is coated on the outer surface of the lithium supplement additive shell layer, the electronic conductor packaging layer is coated on the outer surface of the isolation packaging layer, and the ion conductor packaging layer is coated on the outer surface of the electronic conductor packaging layer.
