Description

Preparation method of spherical nano lithium iron phosphate
Technical Field

Background
The lithium iron phosphate is used as one of the anode materials of the lithium ion battery, has relatively high theoretical capacity and stable charge-discharge voltage platform, and makes the organic electrolyte safer in battery application. The lithium ion battery using the lithium iron phosphate has the advantages of high safety, good electrode reaction reversibility, high thermal stability, environmental friendliness and the like, so the lithium iron phosphate becomes one of the preferred anode materials of the anode material of the lithium ion battery. However, compared with ternary lithium cathode materials, the lithium iron phosphate has a low lithium ion migration rate, which results in poor high-rate charge and discharge performance. A large number of researches show that the rate capability and the low-temperature capability of the lithium iron phosphate material can be obviously improved by reducing the grain size of the lithium iron phosphate.
Chinese patent CN109607505A discloses a preparation method for improving the low temperature performance of lithium iron phosphate, which improves the low temperature performance of a lithium iron phosphate material by a composite carbon source and doping and nanocrystallization; however, the particle size of the lithium iron phosphate prepared by the patent is between 100 and 120nm, and the nano-scale lithium iron phosphate has good electrochemical performance, but the tap density is low, and the problems of low density, difficult processing and the like in the practical application process exist. In contrast, chinese patents CN101162776A and CN106229505A disclose that spherical or spheroidal lithium iron phosphate is prepared by a process method for preparing a spherical lithium iron phosphate material to achieve both processability and electrochemical performance. However, the lithium iron phosphate electrode material disclosed in CN101162776A uses lithium iron phosphate as a matrix, forms particles by coating nano carbon material particles, nano metal or nano metal oxide conductive layer outside the matrix, and processes the lithium iron phosphate into composite spherical or spheroidal particles by using the steps of spray drying, pulverization treatment, spheroidization treatment, mechanical fusion and the like; although the patent can prepare the high-performance lithium iron phosphate material, the process is adoptedThe process is long, the interference factors are many, and the problems of large energy consumption, difficult control of sphericity and the like exist in the actual production. The high-density spherical lithium iron phosphate material disclosed in the Chinese patent CN106229505A is prepared by mixing a lithium source, an iron-phosphorus compound, a dopant and a carbon source in a dry method, presintering the mixture in a protective gas, grinding the mixture, performing sphericization treatment on a precursor by using a two-fluid or four-fluid spray drying device, and reacting the precursor by using an organic compound to achieve the effect of vapor deposition coating, thereby preparing the high-density spherical nano lithium iron phosphate material with the primary particle size of 50-100 nm and the secondary particle size of 3-10 mu m; the material powder disclosed in this patent has a conductivity of up to 10 -1 S/cm, the capacity, low temperature and rate performance of the LFP material and the performances of processing, circulation and the like can be well considered; however, the use of organic gas phase coating in the patent has high requirements on kiln equipment, and the use of two-fluid or four-fluid spray drying equipment has limited requirements on the solid content of slurry feeding, which is not favorable for the low-cost control requirement of the lithium iron phosphate production process.
How to provide a method for preparing spherical nano lithium iron phosphate, which has relatively simple process, relatively low requirements on preparation environment and preparation equipment and relatively low preparation cost, needs to be considered by the technical personnel in the field.
