Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present application, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, are described in detail below. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and intended for the purpose of explaining the present application and are not to be construed as limiting the present application.
In the application, the disclosure of numerical ranges includes disclosure of all values and further sub-ranges within the entire range, including endpoints and sub-ranges given for these ranges.
In the application, the related raw materials, equipment and the like are all raw materials and equipment which can be self-made by commercial paths or known methods unless specified otherwise; the methods involved, unless otherwise specified, are all conventional.
A positive electrode lithium supplementing material according to an embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural view of a positive electrode lithium supplementing material according to an embodiment of the present application.
As shown in fig. 1, the positive electrode lithium supplementing material in the embodiment of the application includes a lithium-rich core material 1 and a first shell layer 2, the first shell layer 2 is disposed on the outer surface of the lithium-rich core material 1, and reinforcing particles 3 are embedded on the surface and/or the inside of the first shell layer 2.
The positive electrode lithium supplementing material has a core-shell structure, wherein a first shell layer containing reinforcing particles is coated on a lithium-rich material core, the stability of the first shell layer can be improved due to the arrangement of the reinforcing particles, the lithium supplementing material is prevented from being in direct contact with electrolyte due to the fact that a coating layer is easy to damage, and the nanoscale lithium-rich core can be manufactured through physical limiting areas, so that the ion mobility of the lithium supplementing material is improved.
In some embodiments of the present application, the reinforcing particles are distributed in a close-packed form on the first shell layer in which they reside. The reinforcing particles are distributed on the first shell layer where the reinforcing particles are in a close-packed mode, because the reinforcing particles prepared in the subsequent preparation method of the positive electrode material are nano microspheres, and spontaneously agglomerate to form a close-packed structure due to the overlarge specific surface area. When the number of the first shell layers is plural, and reinforcing particles are distributed on the surfaces and/or the interiors of the plural first shell layers, the stacking densities of the reinforcing particles on the respective first shell layers may be the same or different; preferably, when different, the packing density of the reinforcing particles on the innermost first shell layer is maximized.
In some embodiments of the present application, the reinforcing particles include, but are not limited to, one or more of silica nanoparticles and nano-metal oxides. As non-limiting examples, nano-metal oxides include, but are not limited to, one or more of nano-titanium dioxide, nano-zinc oxide, nano-aluminum oxide, nano-zirconium oxide, nano-cerium oxide, nano-iron oxide. Selecting one or more of silica nanoparticles and nano-metal oxides as reinforcing particles can enhance ion conductivity and inhibit cation disorder within the crystal structure by providing active sites for ion diffusion, while providing a protective layer, inhibiting reaction between the positive electrode and the electrolyte.
In some embodiments of the present application, the particle size of the reinforcing particles includes, but is not limited to, between 5 and 50nm, for example, the upper limit may also include, but is not limited to, 60nm, 75nm, 100nm, 125nm, etc., and the lower limit may also include, but is not limited to, 0.5nm, 1nm, 2nm, 3nm, etc. The particle size of the reinforcing particles is within the above range, and the effect of the support structure can be achieved; if the specific surface area is smaller than the lower limit, the specific surface area is too large, the agglomeration is serious, and the internal resistance is increased; is larger than the upper limit, is separated from the first shell layer, and has no reinforcing effect.
It is understood that the reinforcing particles in the present application may be distributed only on the surface or inside the first shell layer, or may be distributed on the surface and inside the first shell layer at the same time. When the reinforcing particles are only distributed on the surface of the first shell layer, the wettability of the electrolyte is enhanced, and the structure enhancement effect is weak; when the reinforcing particles are only distributed in the first shell layer, the structure reinforcing effect is better; when the reinforcing particles are simultaneously distributed on the surface and the inside of the first shell layer (such as the reinforcing particles are embedded in the first shell layer, the reinforcing particles are partially positioned in the first shell layer and partially positioned outside the surface of the first shell layer), the electrolyte wettability is enhanced, and the structural stability is improved.
In some embodiments of the present application, the lithium-rich core material includes, but is not limited to, one or more of lithium-rich oxides, lithium nitride, lithium fluoride, lithium carbide, soluble renewable lithium-containing compounds. Among them, the soluble regenerated lithium-containing compounds include, but are not limited to, one or more of lithium sulfide, lithium phosphide, lithium bromide, lithium iodide. The term "soluble regeneration" in the lithium-containing compound which is soluble and regenerated in the present application is, in fact, recrystallization, and may be equivalent to soluble regeneration. Recrystallization is a process in which crystals are dissolved in a solvent or melted and then recrystallized from the solution or melt.
In some embodiments of the present application, the first shell layer is a hollow shell layer, and the structure can conveniently cover the lithium-rich core material, effectively limit the shape and the size of the core material, and promote the conductivity of the core material. Specifically, the inner diameter of the first shell layer ranges from 50 to 500nm, whereby the size of the lithium-rich core material can be limited to 50 to 500 nm. It will be appreciated that, particularly for soluble renewable lithium-containing compounds as lithium-rich core materials, such as lithium sulfide, commercially available lithium sulfide has a relatively large particle size, typically on the order of microns, and poor electrical conductivity. According to the method, the shell layer with the hollow structure can be prepared by adopting the template sacrificial method, and then lithium sulfide enters the hollow shell layer by adopting the impregnation method to form the lithium-rich core material, so that the particle size of the lithium sulfide can be limited below the nanometer level, and the conductivity of the lithium sulfide serving as the lithium-rich material is improved. The outer diameter of the first shell layer ranges from 70 to 570nm, and the difference between the inner diameter and the outer diameter of the first shell layer is not more than 100nm.
In some embodiments of the present application, in order to further improve stability of the positive electrode lithium-supplementing material, the number of the first shell layers may be set to be more than 2, and a plurality of first shell layers are sequentially set from a side close to the lithium-rich core material to a side far away from the lithium-rich core material (the latter is coated on the former surface), where reinforcing particles must be distributed on the surface and/or the inside of the first shell layer located at the innermost side (nearest to the lithium-rich core material), so that collapse of the hollow structure of the whole first shell layer can be prevented, the first shell layer material source is connected through covalent bonds or hydrogen bonds, and the reinforcing particles may or may not be distributed on the surface and/or the inside of the rest of the first shell layers, and when the reinforcing particles are also distributed on the surface and/or the inside of the rest of the first shell layers, stability of the lithium-supplementing material may be further enhanced. Taking the case of embedding the first shell layer in the reinforcing particle as an example: in some embodiments of the present application, when the number of first shell layers is more than 2, the reinforcing particles are embedded only in the first shell layer located at the innermost side (the conductive coating layer nearest to the lithium-rich core material), so that collapse of the hollow shell structure can be prevented, and the source of conductive coating layer material is connected by covalent or hydrogen bonding. In other embodiments of the present application, the reinforcing particles may be embedded within the first shell layer located innermost and between the first shell layer located innermost and the first shell layer located outermost (furthest from the lithium-rich core material). In further embodiments of the present application, the reinforcing particles may be embedded within the first shell layer located innermost and the first shell layer located outermost. In further embodiments of the present application, the reinforcing particles may be embedded within all of the first shell layers. As one possible example, the hollow shell layer of the positive electrode lithium-compensating material of the present application includes only one conductive coating layer within which the reinforcing particles are embedded. When reinforcing particles are embedded in a certain first shell layer, the first shell layer positioned outside and adjacent to the reinforcing particles is coated on the outer surfaces of the first shell layer and the reinforcing particles embedded in the first shell layer. In addition, the number of the first shell layers is preferably controlled within a reasonable range, for example, including but not limited to below 5, and exceeding 5 can increase the internal resistance of the material and reduce the energy density.
It should be noted that, in the present application, the reinforcing particles select one or more of silica nanoparticles and nano metal oxides, which are present only in the form of particles, but form doping in the portion in contact with the core during sintering, which has an advantageous effect.
In some embodiments of the present application, the material of the first shell layer is a carbon material, wherein the carbon material includes, but is not limited to, one or more of graphite, amorphous carbon, hard carbon, carbon fiber, and carbon nanotube. In other embodiments, the material of the first shell layer is a heteroatom-doped carbon material, wherein the heteroatom-doped carbon material includes, but is not limited to, one or more of nitrogen-doped carbon, sulfur-doped carbon, and phosphorus-doped carbon. The material of the first shell layer is carbon material or heteroatom doped carbon material, so that the conductivity of the positive electrode lithium supplementing material can be enhanced, and the battery performance of the positive electrode lithium supplementing material can be improved.
In some embodiments of the present application, in order to further improve the compactness and conductivity of the entire coating layer of the lithium-rich core material, the positive electrode lithium supplementing material of the present application further includes a second shell layer 4, where the second shell layer 4 is coated on the outer surfaces of the first shell layer 2 and the reinforcing particles 3. When the number of the first shell layers is plural, the second shell layer covers the outer surface of the first shell layer located at the outermost side (farthest from the lithium-rich core material), or covers the outer surface of the first shell layer and the reinforcing particle located at the outermost side (farthest from the lithium-rich core material). The second shell layer is a conductive encapsulation layer, including but not limited to at least one of an isolation encapsulation layer, an ion conductor encapsulation layer, and an electronic conductor encapsulation layer. Wherein, the material of the isolation packaging layer comprises one or more of ceramic, high molecular polymer and carbon material, preferably carbon material. The material of the electronic conductor encapsulation layer includes, but is not limited to, at least one of a carbon material, a conductive polymer, or a conductive oxide, preferably a carbon material. The material of the ion conductor encapsulation layer includes, but is not limited to, at least one of perovskite type, NASICON type, garnet type, or polymer type solid state electrolytes. As one possible example, the material of the second shell layer is a carbon material, and the carbon material of the second shell layer includes, but is not limited to, one or more of graphite, amorphous carbon, hard carbon, carbon nanotubes, and graphene sheets.
As a possible example, as shown in fig. 1, the positive electrode lithium supplementing material of the present application includes a lithium-rich core material 1, a first shell layer 2, reinforcing particles 3 and a second shell layer 4, where the number of the first shell layers 2 is 1, the first shell layers 2 are disposed on the outer surface of the lithium-rich core material 1, the reinforcing particles 3 are embedded in the first shell layers 2, the first shell layers 2 and the second shell layers 4 are carbon layers, and the second shell layers 4 are coated on the outer surfaces of the first shell layers 2 and the reinforcing particles 3.
In some embodiments of the present application, the mass ratio of the lithium-rich core material, all shell materials, all reinforcing particles, is 80: (5-10): (10-15). As non-limiting examples, the mass ratio of the lithium-rich core material, all shell materials, all reinforcing particles, three, includes, but is not limited to 80:5: 10. 80:7.5: 10. 80:10: 10. 80:5:12.5, 80:5: 15. 80:10:12.5 or 80:10:15, etc. The mass ratio of the lithium-rich core material to the shell material to the reinforcing particles is in the range, so that the nano lithium-rich core material can be effectively limited; the mass ratio is less than 80:5:10, the lithium-rich core material cannot be completely coated; the mass ratio is greater than 80:10:15, the coating is too thick, reducing the energy density. When the positive electrode lithium supplementing material only comprises a first shell layer, all shell layer materials are first shell layer materials; when the positive electrode lithium supplementing material comprises a first shell layer and a second shell layer, the positive electrode lithium supplementing material is the first shell layer material and the second shell layer material. The explanation of the reinforcing particles is similar and will not be repeated here.
In some embodiments of the present application, the lithium-rich core material has a diameter of 50-500nm. As non-limiting examples, lithium-rich core material diameters include, but are not limited to, 50nm, 100nm, 150nm, 200nm, 250nm, 300nm, 350nm, 400nm, 450nm, 500nm, or the like. The diameter of the lithium-rich core material is within the range, so that the capacity advantage can be exerted; less than 50nm, the energy density is affected; above 500nm, the capacity decreases.
In some embodiments of the present application, the portion of the positive electrode lithium-supplementing material other than the outer surface of the lithium-rich core material constitutes a coating layer, and the thickness of the coating layer is 50-100nm. As non-limiting examples, the thickness of the cladding layer includes, but is not limited to, 50nm, 60nm, 70nm, 80nm, 90nm, 100nm, or the like. The thickness of the coating layer is in the range, so that the conductivity of the material can be improved; less than 50nm, the moisture is easy to contact and react with the kernel; greater than 100nm increases the lithium ion transfer resistance. In the case of the lithium-rich core material, the portion other than the outer surface of the lithium-rich core material is, for example, a portion between the side surface of the first shell layer 2 adjacent to the lithium-rich core material 1 and the outer surface of the second shell layer 4 in the structure shown in fig. 1.
In the present application, when the number of the first shell layers is plural and the number of the second shell layers is plural, the total thickness of the coating layers is still within the above range, but the thickness of each first shell layer may be the same or different, and the thickness of each second shell layer may be the same or different. In addition, the materials of the first shell layers can be the same or different, and the materials of the second shell layers can be the same or different.
