Description

Manganese-rich precursor, preparation method thereof, positive electrode material and lithium ion battery
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of lithium ion battery materials, in particular to a manganese-rich precursor, a preparation method thereof, a positive electrode material and a lithium ion battery.
Background
The lithium ion battery has the advantages of high energy density, good environmental compatibility, long cycle life and the like, and is widely applied to the fields of 3C numbers, power tools, electric automobiles, aerospace, power generation base stations and the like. With the rapid development of new energy automobiles and energy storage fields, the energy density of the lithium ion battery needs to be improved, so as to meet the requirement of long endurance mileage. At present, the theoretical specific capacity of traditional commercial anode materials such as lithium iron phosphate, lithium cobalt oxide, lithium manganate, ternary materials and the like is generally low, so that the further improvement of the energy density of the lithium ion battery is limited. In recent years, a lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material has been receiving a great deal of attention because of its advantages of high energy density, high voltage plateau, low cobalt content, environmental friendliness, etc., and is considered as one of the key positive electrode materials for realizing the next-generation high specific energy lithium ion battery.
The existing preparation technology of the lithium-rich manganese-based material and the precursor thereof is still immature, and the large-scale and commercialized wide application of the lithium-rich manganese-based material is restricted. The preparation method of the precursor and the difference of ion reaction environments directly influence the size and the morphology of primary particles of the precursor, thereby influencing the agglomeration mode and the spherical structure of secondary spheres of the precursor. Therefore, the exploration of precursor synthesis conditions and morphology control technology are key to preparing the lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material.
At present, a lithium-rich manganese-based material precursor is generally prepared by adopting a carbonate and hydroxide coprecipitation method. When the carbonate technology is adopted, the precursor is easy to form a round secondary sphere, but the decomposition rate of the carbonate is high, so that the internal pores of the secondary sphere of the sintered material are large, the tap density and the specific energy of the battery are influenced, and the secondary sphere is easy to crush under the condition of high compaction density, so that pole piece pulverization failure is caused. When the hydroxide precursor process similar to the ternary material is adopted, as the manganese content in the lithium-rich manganese-based material is higher, mn & lt2+ & gt ions are excessively fast nucleated in the precipitation process, large primary sheet MnOOH is easy to generate, and the large primary sheets are difficult to agglomerate together to form uniform and compact secondary balls, the hydroxide process is not easy to ball, so that the tap density of the precursor is relatively low, the tap density, the compaction density and the processing performance of the material are affected, and the volume energy density of a battery is further affected. The large thick-plate primary particles have low activity during sintering, high sintering temperature is needed, primary particles of the sintering material are large, and the electrochemical activity of the material is not beneficial to being exerted, so that the sintering material of the lithium-rich manganese-based material hydroxide precursor has obviously lower electrochemical performance compared with the carbonate precursor.
There are some reports on increasing the tap density of lithium-rich manganese-based materials, for example, a sintered lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material is mixed with a transition metal salt and a lithium salt again to perform secondary sintering to increase the tap density; and carrying out hydrothermal post-treatment on the lithium-rich manganese-based anode material to obtain the material with high tap density. These methods are generally complex and costly, and are not conducive to scale-up. Some high-tap-density lithium-rich manganese-based anode materials are prepared by adopting a conventional complexing agent method, but the sphericity of the materials is not good, and the primary granularity is too large, so that the electrochemical performance is low. Therefore, how to prepare a layered lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material precursor of a hydroxide system with good secondary particle sphericity, high tap density, thin primary flaky particle thickness and uniform size, which can meet the requirements of the lithium-rich manganese-based material on the processing performances such as tap density, compaction density and the like, and has very high electrochemical activity is a technical problem to be solved in the field.
