Description

Porous honeycomb single crystal type high-nickel anode material and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of lithium ion batteries, in particular to a porous honeycomb single crystal type high-nickel anode material and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The urgent need of human society for portable quick charging equipment and high-endurance pure electric vehicles provides challenges for the development of high-energy and high-power-density lithium ion power batteries. The traditional high-nickel cathode material is easy to generate morphological and structural damage under the condition of large current due to the inherent polycrystalline spherical structure, so that the lithium ion transmission kinetics of the traditional high-nickel cathode material is slow. The existing research reports that the stability of the material is improved through anion/cation doping, surface coating, a concentration gradient structure and morphology regulation. These strategies have a significant effect on extending cycle life, but do not significantly improve performance under high current conditions.
To develop high power density lithium ion batteries, commonly employed methods include electrode design and morphology engineering. In terms of electrode design, electron transport and lithium ion passage are generally shortened by reducing the thickness of the electrode, modifying the current collector, or adjusting the addition amount and morphology of the conductive agent. Meanwhile, from the particle level, the rapid charging and discharging capacity of the anode material can be improved by regulating the appearance and the size of the anode material. For example, the positive electrode material particles are designed to have a hollow or porous honeycomb structure or a small particle structure through morphological engineering, so that the large specific surface area of the active material can be fully utilized, the contact with the electrolyte is enhanced, and the mobility of lithium ions is improved, which has attracted great interest. However, this method is usually carried out by additionally introducing a surfactant/etchant/complex ion-forming agent. Moreover, what is easily overlooked is that these methods cannot ensure structural stability under severe operating conditions, and the high-nickel positive electrode material may still have particle breakage and serious irreversible phase change, resulting in battery failure.
Single crystal type high nickel cathode materials are gaining favor due to their excellent thermal stability and cycling performance, and more stable structures. However, the conventional single crystal type particles have a dense structure inside, so that the capacity under a high current condition is relatively low, the full exertion of electrochemical performance is limited, and the further commercial development of the single crystal large-particle high-nickel cathode material is hindered.
Therefore, the development of a novel morphological engineering technology applied to the synthesis and preparation of the porous cellular single-crystal high-nickel anode material with micron-sized particles and higher nickel content has important significance for the development of lithium ion batteries.
In view of the above, the present invention is particularly proposed.

The preparation method of the nonporous single crystal type positive electrode material provided in this comparative example is basically the same as that of example 1, except that:
firstly, in the step (1), according to the nickel element: cobalt element: manganese element =60:20: the molar ratios of 20 are respectively weighed 30mmol of nickel acetate, 10mmol of cobalt acetate and 10mmol of manganese acetate.

Thirdly, in the step (3), the material which is washed and dried is directly subjected to heat preservation treatment (heat preservation treatment at 750 ℃ for 7 hours) without adding lithium carbonate. Because the test result shows that the lithium ion content in the sample is close to the theoretical value after water washing, the dried material is directly subjected to heat preservation treatment for 7 hours at 750 ℃ in a tube furnace in the oxygen atmosphere, and then is cooled to room temperature along with the furnace to obtain the nonporous single crystal LiNi with complete components and complete structure 0.60 Co 0.20 Mn 0.20 O 2 The cathode material (the molar content of the nickel element is 60%).
Comparative example 2
