Description
Technical Field

Background
With the rapid rise of new energy industries, the lithium battery cathode material has wider and wider application. The lithium battery anode material mainly comprises ternary anode materials (NCM and NCA), lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and Lithium Cobaltate (LCO). The three anode materials show different electrochemical performances due to the difference of the respective element compositions and the material structures. Lithium cobaltate is widely applied to the fields of 3C, electric vehicles, electric tools, energy storage, wearable electronic products and the like due to high capacity, high compaction density and high energy density. The lithium iron phosphate has the characteristics of high cycle performance, high safety performance, low cost, environmental friendliness and the like, so that the lithium iron phosphate has a prominent application prospect in power lithium ion batteries. The ternary positive electrode material has the characteristics of high energy density and excellent cycle performance, and is widely applied to the large-scale power battery market of electric vehicles and the like.
However, the above-mentioned cathode material in a lithium ion battery is susceptible to phase transition at high voltage, which causes problems of deterioration of cycle performance, structural collapse of the material, and mixed arrangement of metal cations, resulting in poor rate performance, excessive lithium removal capacity decrease, and high-temperature gassing.
In order to solve the problems under high voltage, a layer of metal oxide can be coated on the surface of the anode material, and the metal oxide can play a role in stabilizing the structure and improve the phenomenon that the anode material in the lithium ion battery has phase change under high voltage. At present, the anode material is modified by a dry coating method. The dry coating is to realize the coating of the anode material by forming a solid solution by the coating solution and the anode material at high temperature, and belongs to high-temperature solid-phase sintering, and the dry coating is difficult to uniformly coat the anode material.
The purpose of coating the anode material is achieved by the wet coating through liquid phase reaction of the coating solution on the surface of the anode material, and the problem of poor uniformity of the dry coating is effectively solved. The conventional wet coating method requires that a positive electrode material is prepared into a suspension and added into a reaction kettle for coating reaction. However, when coating is performed in a large batch, the coating can be completed only by feeding materials in certain batches, and the intermittent coating mode is inefficient.

Detailed Description
The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are illustrative only for the purpose of explaining the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.
In the description herein, references to the description of the term "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "an example," "a specific example," or "some examples," etc., mean that a particular feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the invention. In this specification, the schematic representations of the terms used above do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the particular features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.
Microchannel reactors, a new technology for manipulating, detecting, and analyzing fluids by microfabrication and finishing of fabricated compact reaction systems, have microchannel dimensions on the order of submicron to sub-millimeter. As the physical size of the effective channel of the microchannel reactor is reduced to the sub-millimeter or even micron level, the gradient of physical quantities such as temperature, pressure, concentration and the like between fluids is increased sharply, and the driving force of heat and mass transfer is increased greatly. The microfluid technology has higher heat and mass transfer rate and enables the fluid to be microstructured, the interface volume ratio can be obviously increased and is hundreds of times of that of a conventional reactor, the heat and mass transfer process can be obviously enhanced, the operation time can be shortened, and the microfluid technology is considered as a major breakthrough of the modern chemical engineering development concept.
Because the reaction mode of the microchannel reactor is that the reaction fluid is impinging stream instead of simple dripping of the traditional reactor, the reaction efficiency is greatly improved on the aspect of micro-mixing effect. Therefore, the method has unique advantages in material synthesis: the reaction fluid can be quickly mixed, and the obtained micro-nano particles have narrow particle size distribution.
The application provides a method for coating a lithium battery positive electrode material by a wet method, which comprises the following steps:
s1, providing a positive electrode material, adding the positive electrode material into a first solvent, and stirring to obtain a suspension.
In some embodiments, the first solvent comprises one or more of water, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, isobutanol, cycloethanol, acetone, cyclohexanol, dimethyl carbonate, diethyl phthalate, glycerol, quinoline, and 2-ethylhexanol.
In some embodiments, the positive electrode material is one of a ternary or quaternary positive electrode material, a lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material, lithium cobaltate, sodium cobaltate, a lithium manganate positive electrode material, and a lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material.
In the turbid liquid of this application, because during the cathode material who prepares among the prior art, add in the raw materials has alkali lye, through the high temperature sintering back, make the cathode material surface can remain alkali, consequently, the cathode material's in the turbid liquid surface can produce the hydroxyl ion, and the hydroxyl ion can form the salt that deposits with metal compound in the follow-up cladding solution.
In some embodiments, the solid-liquid volume ratio in the suspension is 0.5 to 1, in this range to better disperse the positive electrode material in water. If the solid-liquid volume ratio in the suspension is greater than 4, the content of the positive electrode material in the suspension is too high, which affects the dispersibility of the positive electrode material and causes the positive electrode material in the subsequent suspension to agglomerate. If the solid-liquid volume ratio in the suspension is less than 1, the solid content in the suspension is low, a large amount of water is generated in the subsequent treatment process, and the production efficiency is also reduced.
In some embodiments, an alkaline solution, such as at least one of sodium hydroxide (e.g., liquid alkali), potassium hydroxide, or ammonia, is further added to the suspension to adjust the pH of the suspension to 8-13, thereby improving the coating stability of the subsequent coating solution and the positive electrode material in the suspension. In some embodiments, the pH may be 8,9, 10, 11, 12, or 13.

The tungstate may be ammonium tungstate.
In some embodiments, the second solvent comprises water. In some embodiments, the concentration of the soluble salt in the coating solution is 0.5 to 2mol/L. The concentration of the soluble salt in the coating solution can be set according to the coating amount of the subsequent composite material.
S3. Referring to FIG. 1, a first microchannel reactor 100 is provided. The first microchannel reactor 100 includes a first channel 10, a second channel 20, and a third channel 30, the first channel 10 and the second channel 20 are connected to the same end of the third channel 30, and the suspension and the coating solution are respectively pumped into the first channel 10 and the second channel 20, so that the suspension and the coating solution are mixed and reacted in the third channel 30 to obtain a mixed solution, and the mixed solution flows out from an outlet end of the third channel 30.
In some embodiments, the suspension and the coating solution are delivered to the third channel 30 through the first channel 10 and the second channel 20 by the first pump 200 and the second pump 300, respectively. The outlet end of the third channel 30 is also connected to a collection device 400 for collecting and storing the mixed liquor.
In this step, in the third channel 30, the suspension is mixed with the coating solution, the hydroxyl on the surface of the positive electrode material in the suspension and the metal ions of the metal compound in the coating solution are subjected to precipitation reaction, and a uniform precipitated salt is formed on the surface of the positive electrode material, or a fluorine-containing salt (such as ammonium fluoride) in the coating solution is directly adsorbed to the surface of the positive electrode material, so that the surface of the positive electrode material is coated with a coating film, that is, the coating of the positive electrode material is completed in the third channel 30.
When the suspension and the coating solution are respectively input into the third channel 30 through the first channel 10 and the second channel 20, an impinging stream is formed between the suspension and the coating solution, an impinging region with high turbulence and high contact of liquid concentration is formed between the two liquids, the two liquids pass through the inlet end of the third channel 30 in a manner of impinging with each other and cutting with each other, and the contact area of the suspension and the coating solution in the third channel 30 is further increased under the condition that the inner diameter size of the third channel 30 is micrometer-millimeter, so as to realize effective mass transfer and mixing between the suspension and the coating solution.
Simultaneously, in this application, can also realize the incessant feeding of turbid liquid and cladding solution and the incessant ejection of compact of the mixed liquid after the reaction through adopting first microchannel reactor 100, realize the continuous mobility production of cladding cathode material to the realization is to the incessant cladding of cathode material.
In some embodiments, the suspension and the coating solution are reacted in the third channel 30 for 0.5-20min. In some embodiments, the reaction time may be 0.5min, 1min, 2min, 3min, 5min, 8min, 10min, 12min, 15min, or 20min.

However, the first microchannel reactor 100 can shorten the reaction time of the positive electrode material in the suspension and the metal ions in the coating solution, and the coating of the positive electrode material can be completed within 0.5-20min, which also avoids the problem that the positive electrode material is continuously stirred for a long time in the prior art, so that the structure of the positive electrode material (such as lithium cobaltate) is continuously damaged by the first solvent (such as water) (see fig. 4). Therefore, the internal structure of the anode material can be prevented from being damaged, and the cycle performance and the coating effect of the prepared composite material are improved. Moreover, in the application, the coating of the anode material is completed in the first microchannel reactor 100 in a short time, and the reduction of the lithium content in the anode material caused by the dissolution of lithium ions from the anode material in the long-time reaction process is also avoided, so that the dissolution of lithium ions can be effectively reduced, the structural stability of the anode material under high voltage is improved, and the stable capacity of the battery is ensured.
Meanwhile, when the reaction kettle is adopted to coat the anode material in the prior art, when the coating solution is continuously added into the suspension, surface contact can be formed between the coating solution and the suspension. However, in the present application, the first microchannel reactor 100 realizes point contact between particles in suspension and coating solution, thereby improving the coating efficiency. Moreover, this application can avoid among the prior art in order to make anodal material and cladding solution intensive mixing need constantly stir turbid liquid and cladding solution in reation kettle, consequently this application can avoid the damage that anodal material may take place in the turbid liquid under the exogenic action of constantly stirring, reduces lithium ion battery's cycle stability.
In the present application, the reaction time is 0.5-20min, and in this reaction time, after the metal ions and the hydroxide ions in the coating solution form a precipitated salt, or after the fluorine-containing salt (such as ammonium fluoride) in the coating solution is adsorbed onto the surface of the positive electrode material, the coating film can be sufficiently coated on the surface of the positive electrode material to form the coating film, and the integrity of the positive electrode material in this time period is ensured. Compared with the mode that the reaction kettle is used for coating the anode material in the prior art, the coating reaction time is shortened in the time period, the production efficiency is improved, and the energy consumption is reduced.
Referring to fig. 1, in some embodiments, the sum of the inner diameters of the first channel 10 and the second channel 20 is greater than or equal to the inner diameter of the third channel 30, so that the suspension and the coating solution are sufficiently mixed in the third channel to improve the mixing effect. In some embodiments, to further improve the mixing effect of the suspension and the coating solution, the third channel 30 may adopt a surrounding structure, and the surrounding structure enables the mixed solution to be subjected to a radial force when passing through the third channel 30, so as to further increase the axial mixing effect.
In some embodiments, the reaction temperature of the suspension and the coating solution in the first microchannel reactor 100 is 30-80 ℃. At this temperature the mixing effect can be further improved. In some embodiments, the first microchannel reactor 100 can be heated by a water bath to bring the temperature within the above-described ranges. Meanwhile, in the present application, the coating of the cathode material is achieved by means of co-precipitation at the above temperature using the first microchannel reactor 100 without the need of a higher temperature.
In some embodiments, the first channel 10, the second channel 20, and the third channel 30 may be designed in a "T" or "Y" configuration.
In some embodiments, the first channel 10 and the second channel 20 each have an inner diameter of 2-20mm, and the third channel 30 has an inner diameter of 2-40mm. Wherein the first channel 10 and the second channel 20 have the same inner diameter and are respectively 5mm,8mm,10mm or 20mm. The third channel 30 corresponds to 7mm,10mm,15mm,18mm,20mm or 40mm.
And S4, standing the mixed solution, carrying out solid-liquid separation to obtain filter residue, washing the filter residue, and drying to obtain an intermediate.
In some embodiments, the standing time of the mixed solution is 0.5-60min to further stabilize the combination of the positive electrode material and the coating solution.
In this step, the filter residue may be washed with clean water to wash the excess coating solution, and then dried.
In some embodiments, the temperature for drying the filter residue is 60-120 ℃, and the drying time is 2-12h.

For example, the thickness of the coating layer may be 5nm, 10nm, 15nm, 20nm, 25nm, 30nm, 40nm or 50nm. If the thickness of the coating layer is more than 50nm, the specific capacity of the lithium battery made of the positive electrode material is affected due to the overlarge thickness of the coating layer.
