Description

High-stability positive electrode lithium supplementing material, preparation method thereof and lithium ion battery
Technical Field
The invention relates to a positive electrode lithium supplementing material, in particular to a high-stability positive electrode lithium supplementing material, a preparation method thereof and a lithium ion battery, and belongs to the technical field of positive electrode materials of lithium ion batteries.
Technical Field
In the first charging process of the lithium ion battery, the organic electrolyte is reduced and decomposed on the surface of a negative electrode such as graphite to form a solid electrolyte phase interface (SEI) film, so that a large amount of lithium from a positive electrode is permanently consumed, and the coulombic efficiency (ICE) of the first cycle is low, thereby reducing the capacity and the energy density of the lithium ion battery.
To solve this problem, lithium is often supplied to the positive electrode to offset the irreversible lithium loss caused by the formation of the SEI film, thereby improving the total capacity and energy density of the battery. Typical positive electrode lithium supplementation is to add a small amount of high-capacity material in the positive electrode slurry mixing process, and Li in the charging process + Is separated from the lithium-rich material to supplement irreversible capacity loss of primary charge and discharge. The positive electrode lithium supplementing has the most industrial application prospect because of high safety and no need of changing the existing battery production process. At present, materials used as positive electrode lithium supplementing additives mainly comprise: lithium-richCompounds, nanocomposite materials based on conversion reactions, binary lithium compounds, and the like.
However, in research and practical application, the existing positive electrode lithium supplementing additive has the following problems: (1) The chemical stability in the air is poor, the structure is unstable, and the deterioration is easy, so that the purity is reduced due to the processing process; (2) The bulk lithium is easy to separate out when contacting with air or a humid environment, so that residual alkali is raised, and gel phenomenon is easy to occur when the battery is homogenized; (3) The impedance is larger, the conductivity is poor, and the addition can influence the cycle performance and the multiplying power performance of the battery; (4) In the charge and discharge process, the electrolyte is easy to undergo side reaction due to the factors of material phase change, heat generation, surface residual alkali and the like, and a large amount of gas is generated; (5) The material particles have strong corrosiveness and strong water absorbability, have strong agglomeration effect and are extremely easy to oxidize, so that the moisture content must be strictly controlled in the use process, and a large amount of residual alkali can be generated once water is absorbed, so that equipment is lost.
Based on the problems in the above preparation and use, the existing solutions are mainly by: the solution is achieved by means of generating a synergistic effect by using the composite lithium salt, adding additives into the electrolyte, adding a water washing process, coating and the like, wherein the most effective means is surface coating modification. Such as:
chinese patent document CN113178567a discloses a positive electrode lithium supplementing material and a lithium ion battery including the same. The zirconium dioxide is particularly adopted to carry out surface coating on lithium nickel acid lithium rich, on one hand, the zirconium dioxide is used as an inactive material, has a porous structure, inhibits the corrosion of Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) in electrolyte to protect the lithium nickel acid lithium rich, and can simultaneously allow free deintercalation of lithium ions; on the other hand, the residual lithium on the surface of the lithium nickel acid can react with the residual lithium on the surface of the lithium nickel acid, so that the residual alkali number of the material is reduced, and the gas production problem of the battery is effectively inhibited. However, this solution simply uses Li 2 NiO 2 Co-nanoscale ZrO 2 The high-speed mixer is used for mixing, coating and sintering, the coating is not uniform, more exposed surfaces which are contacted with air still exist, and the effect of improving the conductivity is not great.
Chinese patent document CN110459748A discloses a carbon-coated lithium ferrite material and a preparation method thereof. By usingThe carbon source is subjected to gas phase coating to isolate the external environment, so that the contact between lithium ferrite and water in the air is relieved, and the stability of the material is improved; the gas phase cladding process comprises the following steps: placing the crushed lithium ferrite into a CVD rotary furnace, heating to a preset temperature, introducing a carbon source (one or more of methane, ethane, propane, ethylene, acetylene and butylene), coating in a gas phase at the preset temperature, stopping introducing the carbon source, and cooling to obtain a carbon-coated lithium ferrite material; the preset coating temperature is 600-800 ℃. However, in this embodiment, the carbon source generates a reducing gas during the cracking process, and it is known from the Enhame chart that Fe is contained in the presence of the reducing gas 3+ At a temperature higher than 710 ℃, the Fe is changed into the Fe which exists stably, at a temperature between 680 and 710 ℃, the Fe is changed into the FeO which exists stably, and at a temperature lower than 680 ℃, the Fe is mainly used 3 O 4 Exists. The method of directly coating the lithium ferrite and the carbon source can easily obtain various crystal forms of mixed materials, which results in low purity of the lithium ferrite, such as Li generation 5 Fe 5 O 8 、LiFeO 2 、Li 5 FeO 4 And Fe mixed phase. In addition, the coated carbon is often amorphous carbon, the specific surface area is large and loose, the compatibility with solvents and electrolyte is poor, the coated carbon can be rapidly peeled off from the core material when placed in the solvents and floats on the surface of the solution, and the protection effect on the core material is small.
Chinese patent document CN116137323a discloses a positive electrode lithium supplementing additive, and a preparation method and application thereof. The positive electrode lithium supplementing additive comprises a lithium-containing inner core and a coating layer formed on the surface of the lithium-containing inner core, wherein the material of the coating layer is selected from conductive hydrophobic polymers with surface modified hydrophobic reinforcing agents, the hydrophobic reinforcing agents are selected from fluorine-containing silane coupling agents, and the conductive hydrophobic polymers comprise one or more of polyacetylene, polyaniline, polypyrrole, polythiophene, polyphenylene, polyparaphenylene ethylene and derivatives thereof; the coating layer is formed, so that on one hand, the defect of poor electronic conductivity of the lithium-containing compound can be overcome, the electronic conductivity is improved, meanwhile, the lithium-containing compound can serve as a conductive agent in the electrode plate, and the addition amount of the conductive agent in the electrode plate is reduced; on the other hand, as the surface of the polymer is modified with the hydrophobic reinforcing agent to provide hydrophobic groups, the hydrophobic barrier is further arranged, so that the stability of the lithium-containing inner core in the air is effectively improved, the contact reaction of water and carbon dioxide in the air with the inner core lithium-supplementing material is effectively blocked, the lithium-containing compound is prevented from reacting with water to fail, and the stability of the lithium-supplementing material is protected. However, in all reports, the actual electron conductivity of the conductive polymer is not high, and the capacity of the active material is greatly compromised.
Therefore, it is needed to provide a positive electrode lithium supplementing material capable of solving the above problems.

(5) The carbon coating layer in the high-stability positive electrode lithium supplementing material can improve electronic conductivity and reduce impedance, and after the lithium supplementing material releases Li in the first charging process, residual non-electrochemical active substances can not increase the impedance of the positive electrode plate due to the fact that the residual non-electrochemical active substances coat the electronic and ionic conductors.
