Description

Method for preparing copper-aluminum co-doped modified lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material from waste lithium iron phosphate battery
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for preparing a copper-aluminum co-doped modified lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material from a waste lithium iron phosphate battery, belonging to the field of lithium ion battery recovery and positive electrode material preparation.
Background
Lithium ion batteries are widely used in new energy automobile power storage batteries due to their advantages of high energy density and low cost. Due to capacity fading, lithium ion power batteries will face decommissioning after 3-5 years of use. The ex-service power lithium battery in 2025 is expected to reach 134.49GWh, and the ex-service amount reaches 80.36 ten thousand tons. The recovery processing and the remanufacturing of the lithium ion battery electrode material of the waste lithium battery are important measures for realizing the sustainable development of the lithium ion battery.
At present, the mainstream methods for recycling the lithium ion battery comprise hydrometallurgy and pyrometallurgy. However, the hydrometallurgical recovery procedure is complex, producing large amounts of waste water; the pyrometallurgy has large energy consumption, is difficult to remove metal impurities, discharges toxic flue gas, and has certain differences between the capacity, rate capability and cycle performance of the recycled and regenerated anode material and fresh materials. The difficulty of the current research is how to reduce the impurity content in the waste anode mixed powder on the basis of green environmental protection and how to improve the discharge specific capacity, the multiplying power and the cycle performance of the regenerated anode material by modifying and modifying the regenerated anode material.
Most of the existing technologies for recycling the waste lithium ion battery anode materials by adopting a solid phase method and then preparing new anode materials are waste anode materials obtained based on manual or automatic fine sorting, and the problem of treatment of metal impurities is not involved. And discharging and disassembling the retired lithium iron phosphate battery to obtain a battery core, removing residual electrolyte and decomposed binder in the battery core by using 500 ℃ negative pressure pyrolysis treatment under inert atmosphere such as nitrogen, and then crushing, screening, winnowing and magnetic separation to obtain waste and old positive electrode powder (mainly lithium iron phosphate positive electrode powder, a small amount of carbon, graphite powder and trace aluminum and copper). When the recycled waste anode powder is used as a raw material and an anode material obtained by supplementing a proper amount of lithium source, iron source and phosphorus source is applied to a lithium ion battery, trace metal impurities in the anode material can make the crystal structure of the anode material tend to a metastable state in the charging and discharging processes of the battery, so that the performance of the battery is attenuated. The influence of copper metal impurities is most obvious, when the voltage of a battery formation stage reaches the oxidation-reduction potential of the copper metal impurities, copper metal is oxidized at a positive electrode and then reduced and deposited at a negative electrode, and after reciprocating accumulation, the copper metal deposition dendrite can pierce a diaphragm to cause self-discharge of the battery. For the above reasons, it is difficult to meet the requirement of commercial application for the electrochemical performance of lithium ion batteries made of recycled and re-prepared cathode materials.

And 4, step 4: adding glucose which accounts for 30% of the mass ratio of the mixed powder C as a carbon source and a reducing agent, grinding, mixing, and roasting in a nitrogen atmosphere in two steps (firstly heating to 350 ℃ at a heating rate of 4 ℃/min, performing heat preservation treatment for 4 hours, then heating to 700 ℃ at a heating rate of 2 ℃/min, performing heat preservation treatment for 10 hours, and finally naturally cooling to room temperature) to obtain the copper and aluminum co-doped modified lithium iron phosphate cathode material.
The waste cathode powder obtained by the pretreatment in the step 1 of the embodiment and the copper-aluminum co-doped modified lithium iron phosphate cathode material obtained in the step 4 are fully mixed with acetylene black and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) according to a ratio of 8 (mass ratio).

Table 1 may show that co-doped sample unit cell parameters a, b, c and unit cell volume are all reduced due to Cu 2+ Doping may occur predominantly with Li + Substituted in the position, cu 2+ Has a radius (0.073 nm) smaller than Li + Radius (0.076 nm) of (A), resulting in a reduction of the unit cell parameterAnd simultaneously, the Cu-O bond energy is larger than the Li-O bond energy, so that the unit cell volume is reduced. Reduction of the lattice parameter b shortens Li + The diffusion distance of the lithium iron phosphate electrode material is increased, and the electronic conductivity and the lithium ion diffusion rate of the lithium iron phosphate electrode material are improved.
Fig. 3 and fig. 4 are FESEM images of the waste cathode powder and the copper-aluminum co-doped modified lithium iron phosphate cathode material in this embodiment, respectively, the particle size of the waste cathode powder is between 0.5 μm and 4 μm, and the particle size of the copper-aluminum co-doped modified lithium iron phosphate cathode material is reduced and uniform (particle size is between 0.5 μm and 1 μm). The reduction of the particle size is beneficial to reducing the lithium ion diffusion path and increasing the high-rate discharge performance of the lithium iron phosphate.
Fig. 5 is an XPS spectrum of the copper-aluminum co-doped modified lithium iron phosphate cathode material in this embodiment, in which 2p of Cu can be observed 3/2 And 2p 1/2 Spin splitting orbits, and observing satellite peak characteristics specific to bivalent copper, prove that copper is doped into the unit cell of the lithium iron phosphate material in the form of bivalent ions.

Fig. 7 is a charging and discharging curve of the waste cathode powder in this embodiment at current densities of 0.1C and 5C, respectively, and it can be observed that a stable charging voltage platform at a constant current charging stage is formed at a voltage of 3.45V, while a discharging voltage platform at a current density of 5C is about 3.10V, a polarization voltage Δ V =0.35v, and specific discharge capacities of 0.1c and 5C reach 123.7mAh/g and 89.9mAh/g, respectively.
Fig. 8 is a charging and discharging curve of the copper-aluminum co-doped modified lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material in the embodiment at current densities of 0.1C and 5C, it can be observed that a stable charging voltage platform in a constant current charging stage exists at a voltage of 3.45V, and a charging voltage platform at a current density of 5C is about 3.25V, a polarization voltage Δ V =0.20v, and discharging specific capacities of 0.1c and 5C respectively reach 151.5mAh/g and 121.5mAh/g, which indicates that the electrode polarization degree of the copper-aluminum co-doped modified lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material is obviously smaller than that of waste positive electrode powder in a high-rate charging and discharging process, and the discharging specific capacity is obviously higher than that of the waste positive electrode powder.
Fig. 9 is a cycle performance diagram of the copper and aluminum co-doped modified lithium iron phosphate positive material and the waste positive powder under the current density of 5C. As can be seen from the figure, the initial discharge capacity of the copper-aluminum co-doped modified lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material is 120.7mAh/g, which is obviously higher than 89.2mAh/g of the waste positive electrode powder. In addition, after 100 circles of charge and discharge tests, the discharge capacity of the copper and aluminum co-doped modified lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material is hardly attenuated. Electrochemical test results show that a proper amount of copper and aluminum codoping modification is beneficial to improving the discharge capacity and the cycle performance of the regenerated lithium iron phosphate anode material.
