The doping of the metal element can widen the lithium ion transmission path, and the doping of the high-valence metal ion can generate more surplus electrons, so that the conductivity and gram capacity of the positive electrode composite material are effectively improved. In addition, the doping of the metal element can also increase the binding force of the lithium ion conductor material to the lithium-containing phosphate active material, so that the structural stability of the composite material is improved.
In the technical scheme of the embodiment of the application, the lithium ion conductor material in the inner core has two existing forms: in one aspect, a portion of the lithium ion conductor material is embedded in the lithium-containing phosphate active material in the form of particles to form a core of jujube cake structure; on the other hand, a part of the metal element M in the lithium ion conductor material is doped into the lattice of the lithium-containing phosphate to form an element doping. The existence form of the composite increases the binding force between the lithium-containing phosphate active material and the lithium ion conductor material, simultaneously enriches the lithium ion diffusion path of the lithium-containing phosphate active material, plays an additive improving role in improving the conductivity and structural stability of the lithium-containing phosphate composite material, and further endows the lithium-containing phosphate composite material with higher low-temperature performance, rate discharge performance and cycle performance.
In some embodiments, the particle size of the lithium ion conductor material in the core is from 5nm to 20nm. Specifically, the particle size of the lithium ion conductor material may be 5nm, 8nm, 10nm, 12nm, 15nm, 18nm, 20nm or within a range composed of any of the above values.
In some embodiments, an intermediate layer is also provided between the inner core and the outer shell, the intermediate layer comprising a lithium ion conductor material. The lithium ion conductor material used as the intermediate layer can further improve the transmission rate of lithium ions, thereby improving the conductivity of the lithium-containing phosphate active material, improving the electrochemical performance of the material, reducing the internal resistance and the impedance of a lithium ion battery and improving the low-temperature performance and the multiplying power charge-discharge performance of the material.
In some embodiments, the thickness of the intermediate layer is from 0.5nm to 3nm. Specifically, the thickness of the intermediate layer includes, but is not limited to, 0.5nm, 1nm, 1.5nm, 2nm, 2.5nm, 3nm.
In some embodiments, the mass of lithium ion conductor material in the core and the intermediate layer comprises 0.5wt% to 3wt% of the total mass of the lithium-containing phosphate composite. The mass ratio in the embodiment of the application refers to the total mass ratio of the lithium ion conductor material included in the core and the lithium ion conductor material included in the intermediate layer. If the mass ratio of the lithium ion conductor material is too low, the content of the embedded lithium ion conductor material in the lithium-containing phosphate active material and the content of the metal element doped in the lithium-containing phosphate active material are influenced, so that the conductivity of the lithium-containing phosphate active material is limited; if the mass ratio of the lithium ion conductor material is too high, the lithium ion conductor material contained in the lithium-containing phosphate may be agglomerated, and the formed intermediate layer may have too high thickness and uneven thickness, thereby affecting the diffusion speed of lithium ions and being unfavorable for the performance of the multiplying power of the composite material. Specifically, the mass ratio of the lithium ion conductor material may be 0.5wt%, 1wt%, 1.5wt%, 2wt%, 2.5wt%, 3wt% or within a range composed of any of the above values.
In some embodiments, the mass ratio of lithium ion conductor material in the core and the intermediate layer is 6:4 to 7:3. If the ratio of the lithium ion conductor material in the core is too high, it indicates that an intermediate layer may not be formed between the core and the shell, or the thickness of the intermediate layer is too low, thereby affecting the transmission rate of lithium ions in the lithium ion active material. If the duty ratio of the lithium ion conductor material in the core is too low, on one hand, the improvement of the electrochemical performance of the lithium-containing phosphate active material cannot be realized, and on the other hand, the fact that the thickness of the intermediate layer between the core and the shell is too high is indicated, so that the transmission path of lithium ions in the core is too long, and the transmission rate of the lithium ions is affected. Specifically, the mass ratio of lithium ion conductor material in the core and the intermediate layer may include, but is not limited to, 6:3, 6:4, 7:3, 7:4.
In some embodiments, the carbon layer comprises 0.8wt% to 3wt% of the total mass of the lithium-containing phosphate composite. In the range of the mass ratio of the carbon layer provided by the embodiment of the application, the conductive performance of the lithium-containing phosphate composite material is improved, the diffusion rate of lithium ions is obviously increased, and the lithium-containing phosphate active material and the lithium ion conductor material can be completely coated, so that the lithium-containing phosphate active material is prevented from being contacted with electrolyte, the dissolution of metal elements is avoided, the growth of composite material particles can be inhibited, the primary particle size of the composite material is in a nano level, and the development of the electrochemical performance of the lithium-containing phosphate composite material is facilitated. Specifically, the mass ratio of the carbon layer may be 0.8wt%, 1wt%, 1.3wt%, 1.5wt%, 2wt%, 2.5wt%, 3wt% or within a range composed of any of the above values.
In some embodiments, the thickness of the outer shell layer is from 1nm to 3nm. If the thickness of the outer shell layer is too low, the lithium-containing phosphate active material and the lithium ion conductor material cannot be well coated, so that the cycle stability and the multiplying power performance of the composite material are poor; if the thickness of the outer shell layer is too high, the migration path of lithium ions is too high, and the transmission of lithium ions is also inevitably blocked, so that the ion conductivity and the electron conductivity of the composite material are affected. In the thickness range of the carbon layer provided by the embodiment of the application, the lithium-containing phosphate active material and the lithium ion conductor material are completely coated, and lithium ions are in a proper migration path range, so that the composite material has higher ion conductivity and electron conductivity. In particular, the thickness of the outer shell layer may be 1nm, 2nm, 2.5nm, 3nm, or within a range comprised of any of the above values.
In some embodiments, the primary particle size of the lithium-containing phosphate composite is from 100nm to 200nm. It is understood that primary particle size refers to the particle size of individual particles of the lithium-containing phosphate composite under microscopic test conditions, i.e., individual microscopic particle sizes. The primary particle size of the lithium-containing phosphate composite material is nano-scale, the particle size is small, the activity specific surface area is large, and the diffusion path of lithium ions can be effectively shortened, so that the diffusion rate of the lithium ions can be improved, and the low-temperature performance and the multiplying power performance of the lithium-containing phosphate composite material can be better exerted. In particular, the primary particle size of the lithium-containing phosphate composite may include, but is not limited to, 100nm to 120nm, or 110nm to 130nm, or 130nm to 150nm, or 140nm to 160nm, or 180nm to 200nm.

step S10, providing a precursor of a lithium-containing phosphate active material, a lithium ion conductor material and a carbon source;

Performance detection
(1) Characterization of physical Properties
The results of scanning electron microscope analysis (SEM) of the lithium-containing phosphate composite material prepared in example 1 are shown in fig. 2. As can be seen from the SEM image in fig. 2, the particles of the lithium-containing phosphate composite are relatively well dispersed.
The lithium-containing phosphate composite material prepared in example 1 was subjected to X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) results shown in fig. 3. As can be seen from fig. 3, the XRD characteristic peaks of the sample correspond to standard cards, with no impurity phase peaks.
(2) Electrochemical performance test
The electrochemical properties of lithium secondary batteries each composed of examples S1 to S19 and comparative example DS1 were tested.
And (3) low-temperature test: under the condition of-20 ℃, the button cell is respectively subjected to charge and discharge test by a lithium ion battery charge and discharge test system, and the charge and discharge conditions are as follows: the charge termination voltage was 4.3V, the discharge termination voltage was 2.00V, and the charge-discharge current densities were 0.2C and 1C. The results of the related electrochemical performance test of the lithium secondary battery are shown in table 1 below.
And (3) testing at normal temperature, and respectively using a lithium ion battery charge and discharge testing system to perform charge and discharge tests on the button cell at 25+/-0.5 ℃ under the conditions of: the charge termination voltage was 4.3V, the discharge termination voltage was 2.00V, and the charge-discharge current densities were 0.1C and 1C. The results of the related electrochemical performance test of the lithium secondary battery are shown in table 1 below.
And (3) carrying out a cycle test, namely respectively carrying out a charge and discharge test on the button cell by using a lithium ion cell charge and discharge test system under the conditions of 25+/-0.5 ℃ and the charge and discharge conditions: the charge termination voltage is 4.3V, the discharge termination voltage is 2.00V, and the charge-discharge current density is 1C, and the charge-discharge current density is 2000 circles. The results of the related electrochemical performance test of the lithium secondary battery are shown in table 1 below.
As can be seen from table 1, the secondary batteries containing the lithium-containing phosphate composite material prepared in this example application were higher in rate performance, low temperature performance, and cycle performance than the comparative examples. Specifically, it can be found that, in combination with examples S1 to S3, the mass ratio of the lithium ion conductor material is within the preferred range, and the normal-temperature discharge capacity, the low-temperature discharge capacity and the cycle performance thereof are maintained at higher levels, whereas for example S4, the electrochemical performance is slightly worse than other examples due to the excessive mass ratio (exceeding 3 wt%) of the lithium ion conductor material, and the decrease in the normal-temperature discharge capacity is more remarkable. As is clear from the combination of examples S1 and S5 to S8, the primary particle diameter of the lithium-containing phosphate composite material is too high (more than 200 nm), the diffusion rate of lithium ions is reduced, and the cycle performance and the low-temperature performance are deteriorated; too low (below 100 nm), the stability of the crystal structure decreases, the effect on the recycling properties is slightly larger than for samples with too large particle size, the performance decreases more, while the low temperature properties are better than for samples with too large particles. The electrochemical performance of comparative examples S1, S9 to S11 shows a negative correlation with the particle size of the lithium ion conductor material, i.e., the electrochemical performance gradually decreases as the particle size of the lithium ion conductor material increases. In comparison with examples S1 and S12 to S14, the intermediate layer provided between the core and the carbon layer is more advantageous for improving the electrochemical performance of the lithium-containing phosphate composite material, and the low-temperature performance and the cycle performance thereof are both maintained at a better level, and in the case of example S15, since the thickness of the intermediate layer is too high (more than 3 nm), the mass ratio of the lithium ion conductor material in the core and the intermediate layer is too small, the ratio of the active material is reduced and the path of diffusion of lithium ions is increased, resulting in poorer electrochemical performance than in the other examples. As is clear from the comparison of examples S1, S16 to S19, in addition to adding lithium titanium aluminum phosphate as a lithium ion conductor material in the preparation process of the lithium-containing phosphate composite material, other lithium ion conductor materials can be added or doped in the lithium-containing phosphate active material, and the electrochemical performance of the lithium-containing phosphate composite material can be effectively improved.
