Description

Recycling method and application of waste lithium ion battery anode material
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of battery material recovery, in particular to a method for recovering a waste lithium ion battery anode material and application thereof.
Background
The main recovery technologies of the current ternary cathode material include pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy, direct regeneration and the like. Pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy are relatively mature and have been operated on an industrial scale, but their development has been limited by the disadvantages of high process difficulties, high costs, low recovery rates, secondary pollution and the like. At present, the research of directly recycling the anode material is still in a starting stage, namely, the process of directly recycling the anode material is a reconstruction process of waste materials, the defect of the material can be ideally repaired without damaging the defect, and the degradation of the anode material is related to the lithium loss and the dissolution of transition metal due to the phase change and the body defect of the anode surface and the interface side reaction, and the existing direct recycling method mainly comprises a high-temperature solid-phase method, a hydrothermal-annealing method, an electrochemical lithium intercalation method, a solvent repair method and a molten salt repair method. The high-temperature solid phase method is simple to operate and environment-friendly, but needs to accurately measure the lithium content in the positive electrode material, the designed process is only applicable to one positive electrode material with similar retired degree, and high-temperature sintering also means a large amount of energy consumption and cost. The solvent repair method uses an organic solvent as an ion transmission medium, so that the structure of the material can be well recovered, but the development of the material is hindered by high cost and pollution. The hydrothermal-annealing method has the advantages that waste materials with any retired degree can be treated, but the positive electrode material is difficult to popularize due to the sensitivity and reactivity of the positive electrode material to moisture, and the required high-temperature and high-pressure environment has certain safety problems. The molten salt repairing method is to repair and regenerate the material by providing a low-temperature and molten liquid environment, compared with the high-temperature solid-phase method, the molten salt repairing method does not need long-time high-temperature treatment, saves the cost, can recycle the molten salt, achieves the purpose of closed loop, and has the potential of large-scale application.
The waste ternary positive electrode material is recovered by utilizing a molten salt restoration method, and the structure of the waste ternary positive electrode material is regulated and controlled in a mode of supplementing lithium and nickel, so that the original lithium and the structure are recovered by utilizing reliithiation, and meanwhile, the energy consumption and the carbon emission are reduced, so that the recyclable ternary positive electrode material with high nickel content is produced, and the theoretical specific capacity of the ternary positive electrode material can reach 278 mAh/g. However, the recovery mode not only needs to use expensive nickel, thereby resulting in high recovery cost, but also has small improvement range of electrochemical performance of the ternary positive electrode material obtained by conversion, poor economic benefit and difficult realization of large-scale industrial application.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims at: aiming at the problems, the invention provides a method for recycling the anode material of the waste lithium ion battery and application thereof, which utilizes a molten salt restoration method to recycle the waste lithium ion battery with high efficiency, and regenerates the waste anode material into a lithium-rich manganese-based anode material with a monocrystal structure by extracting manganese and supplementing lithium, thereby not only greatly reducing the cost of a recycling process, but also obtaining a product with higher electrochemical performance and higher commercial value, and overcoming the defects existing in the prior art.
The technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows: a method for recycling anode materials of waste lithium ion batteries comprises the following steps:
A. pretreating a waste lithium ion battery, and separating to obtain waste anode material powder;
B. uniformly mixing waste anode material powder with lithium salt, manganese compound and molten salt, and then sintering in an atmosphere containing oxygen to obtain a sintered body;
C. grinding, washing and drying the sintered body to obtain the regenerated positive electrode material.
In the prior art, the type of the waste positive electrode material is not changed generally by utilizing a molten salt restoration method to recycle the waste positive electrode material, and when the waste ternary positive electrode material is recycled and regenerated by using the molten salt restoration method, a lithium source and a nickel source are needed to be added for lithium supplementing and nickel supplementing, and the restored ternary positive electrode material is still the ternary positive electrode material with the theoretical specific capacity of about 278mAh/g, and although the obtained ternary positive electrode material has higher capacity (benefit brought by the increase of nickel content) than the former ternary positive electrode material, the recycling process material has high cost and poor economic benefit, and is difficult to realize large-scale industrial application. In the invention, the waste ternary anode material is taken as an example, and when the waste ternary anode material is recovered and regenerated by a molten salt restoration method, the waste ternary anode material is converted into another alpha-NaFeO with a space group of R-3m type under the condition of low cost by extracting manganese and supplementing lithium due to the existence of excessive lithium ions and manganese ions 2 Li of layered structure 2 MnO 3 Thereby obtaining a ternary layered structure and Li with higher specific capacity 2 MnO 3 The theoretical specific capacity of the lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material with the solid solution structure can reach 378mAh/g. In the charge-discharge process of the lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material, lithium in the mixed layer can migrate into the lithium layer, and the remained octahedral vacancies are occupied by the transition metal elements of the bulk phase through synergistic diffusion, so that almost all lithium can be separated, high specific capacity is provided, the material advantage of the lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material is higher than that of the ternary positive electrode material before conversion, considerable economic benefits are brought to enterprises, and large-scale industrial application is facilitated.
Further, in step B, the lithium salt is selected fromLiCl、Li 2 SO 4 、LiNO 3 、LiOH、Li 2 CO 3 、CH 3 One or more of COOLi; the manganese compound is selected from MnO, mnO 2 、Mn 2 O 3 、Mn 3 O 4 、MnCO 3 、Mn(NO 3 ) 2 、MnCl 2 、MnSO 4 、(CH 3 COO) 2 Mn、MnC 2 O 4 One or more of nickel manganese hydroxide and nickel manganese carbonate.

Preferably, in some embodiments, the molar ratio of the sum of the amounts of nickel element and cobalt element to the amount of manganese element in the mixture obtained by mixing the waste positive electrode material powder with the lithium salt, the manganese compound and the molten salt is 1:2, i.e., n (Ni+Co) : n Mn =1:2。

Further, the waste lithium ion battery is disassembled and separated to obtain a positive plate, the positive plate is calcined for 1h to 4h (1 h, 2h, 3h, 4h and the like) at 500 ℃ -600 ℃ (the temperature can be 500 ℃, 520 ℃, 550 ℃, 580 ℃, 600 ℃ and the like), and the fallen powder is collected to obtain the waste positive plate material powder.
