Description

Double-layer coated positive electrode material, preparation method thereof, lithium ion battery and vehicle
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of lithium ion batteries, and particularly relates to a double-layer coated positive electrode material and a preparation method thereof, and further relates to a lithium ion battery and a vehicle.
Background
Power lithium ion batteries are currently the most promising energy storage technology for electric vehicles and have been widely used. The main disadvantages of the power lithium ion battery are high cost, insufficient energy density and poor cycling stability, which is limited by the positive electrode material to a great extent. Therefore, development of a positive electrode material having high energy density and good cycle stability is urgently required to improve the performance of a power lithium ion battery. The common positive electrode materials in the current power battery are mainly lithium iron phosphate and ternary positive electrode active materials, wherein the lithium iron phosphate is difficult to meet the requirement of battery energy density due to lower specific capacity, and the ternary positive electrode active materials are poor in cycle life and high-rate performance due to poor stability. Therefore, further development of the lithium ion battery anode material with high energy density, long cycle life and high rate performance is of great importance to the development of the electric automobile industry.
The ternary positive electrode active material has higher specific capacity and is receiving more and more attention and application. However, as the nickel content in the system is continuously improved, the structural stability of the material is also poorer and poorer. The main reason is that: (1) The material forms a large amount of Ni with strong oxidability in the charging process 4+ The side reaction with the electrolyte is more severe; (2) High nickel positive electrode material in higher charging state>4.15V), with the release of more lithium ions, the structure of the material undergoes H2-H3 phase transition, thereby causing anisotropic volume expansion of primary particles, resulting in an increase in the gaps between primary particles in secondary particles, and during repeated charge and discharge, as the gaps increase, more positive electrode active material is in direct contact with the electrolyte, side reactions increase continuously, causing more serious structural deterioration. At present, the surface of the positive electrode active material is subjected to cladding modification by mainly adopting measures in the related art, so that the precipitation of oxygen in the lattice material can be reduced, the phase transition is inhibited, the first coulomb efficiency of the material is improved, the capacity attenuation and other effects of the material are relieved, and the high-rate discharge performance and the cycling stability of the material are improved.
In the coating material, LATP (Li 1.3 Al 0.3 Ti 1.7 (PO 4 ) 3 ) Namely lithium titanium aluminum phosphate with three-dimensional lithiumThe ion migration channel has higher ion conductivity, and can reach 10 at room temperature -3 S/cm, the lithium aluminum titanium phosphate is used as a coating layer of the positive electrode active material, so that the interface ion conductivity of the positive electrode and the electrolyte can be improved. However, when the LATP and the positive electrode active material are co-sintered in the coating process, mutual diffusion is easy to occur between elements, so that the LATP structure is damaged, new impurity phases are generated, the ionic conductivity of the coating layer is reduced, the interface impedance is increased, and the coating effect is affected. Therefore, improvement of the anode material coated with the LATP is needed to effectively protect the LATP coating layer and improve the comprehensive performance of the anode material.
