Detailed Description
The following describes specific embodiments of the present invention in detail. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating and illustrating the invention, are not intended to limit the invention.
In the present invention, the term "high voltage condition/high voltage" means that the operating voltage of the whole cell is not less than 4.48V, such as 4.48V, 4.5V, 4.53V or 4.55V.
The first aspect of the present invention provides a positive electrode material, which comprises a positive electrode base material, and a first coating layer and a second coating layer coated on the positive electrode base material; the first coating layer comprises a fast ion conductor substance; the second cladding layer includes LiCoPO 4.
In the invention, the positive electrode material has a multi-layer coating structure, and the outermost layer is coated by LiCoPO 4, namely a second coating layer; the intermediate transition layer is coated by a fast ion conductor substance, namely a first coating layer; the second coating layer is coated on the outer side surface of the first coating layer, and the first coating layer is positioned between the positive electrode base material and the second coating layer.
In the present invention, liCoPO 4 (abbreviated as LCPO) is included in the coating material of the second coating layer (i.e., the outermost layer). It can be understood that LCPO is used as a special coating substance, is still electrochemically stable at the upper limit voltage of 4.7V (vs. Li/Li +), and has a strong covalent P-O tetrahedral configuration formed at the interface of the outer surface of LCPO, so that the formation of harmful H1-3 phases of the positive electrode material can be effectively relieved, the stability of the structure is improved, and the capacity loss of the positive electrode material is avoided; meanwhile LCPO as a special coating substance can effectively inhibit side reactions at the interface of the positive electrode matrix material and the electrolyte, so that the positive electrode matrix material subjected to LCPO coating modification shows cycle stability under high voltage.
Furthermore, the strong covalent P-O tetrahedral configuration formed at the LCPO external surface interface can also play a role in reducing the oxidation activity of LCPO surface O, can effectively inhibit the release of lattice O and the occurrence of irreversible phase change in the high-voltage positive electrode matrix material circulation process, further improves the structural stability of the positive electrode material, and avoids the capacity loss of the battery.
In the present invention, a fast ion conductor substance is included in the coating material of the first coating layer, and the first coating layer is interposed between the positive electrode base material and the second coating layer as an intermediate transition layer.
LCPO although the stability of the crystal structure of the positive electrode matrix material can be improved, the poor electronic conductivity and ion conductivity of the material can cause the increase of the impedance of the surface of the positive electrode material, so that the electrochemical polarization of the positive electrode material in the charge-discharge reaction process is increased.
To further avoid an increase in the surface impedance of the positive electrode material, which in one example is at 4.53V, the DCR at 70% soc is less than or equal to 55mΩ, reducing the electrochemical polarization generated by the battery during charge and discharge. The "DCR in 70% SOC State" refers to the Direct current internal resistance (DCIR or DCR) of a battery made of the positive electrode material at 70% State of charge (SOC). The direct-current internal resistance of the battery made of the positive electrode material under the voltage condition of 4.53V in the 70% charge state is controlled to be less than or equal to 55mΩ, so that the diffusion efficiency of positive electrode active ions near the surface layer of the positive electrode material can be effectively improved, the electrochemical polarization generated in the charging and discharging process of the battery is reduced, and the performance of the battery is improved. In yet another example, the cathode material has a DCR of less than or equal to 60mΩ at 4.55V at 70% SOC. The direct current internal resistance of the battery core made of the positive electrode material under the voltage condition of 4.55V in the 70% charge state is controlled to be less than or equal to 60mΩ, so that the benefit can be further increased, and the battery performance is improved.
Further, the fast ion conductor substance and LCPO are mixed and then coated together, so that the two substances are easy to agglomerate, the local dispersion effect is poor, the surface layer of the positive electrode material still generates structural phase change, or the local electron and ion conductivity is poor, so that the impedance of the surface of the positive electrode material is increased, therefore, the fast ion conductor substance is used as a first coating layer and is arranged into a multi-layer coating structure, the intermediate transition layer between the second coating layer LCPO and the positive electrode substrate, and the direct current internal resistance of a battery core made of the positive electrode material under the voltage condition of 4.53V in the 70% charge state is less than or equal to 55mΩ (and/or DCR under the voltage condition of 4.55V in the 70% SOC state is less than or equal to 60mΩ), on one hand, the fast ion conductor substance and LCPO are prevented from agglomerating, the coating effect of the second coating layer LCPO is optimal, the effect of improving the structural stability of the surface layer of the positive electrode material is achieved, the auxiliary reaction of the positive electrode substrate and the electrolyte is prevented, and the cycling stability of the positive electrode material under the high voltage condition is further improved; on the other hand, the diffusion efficiency of positive active ions near the surface layer of the positive electrode material can be effectively improved, the increase of the impedance of the surface of the positive electrode material is effectively avoided, the electrochemical polarization generated in the charge and discharge process of the battery is reduced, and the performance of the battery is improved.
In one example, the positive electrode material surface Li 2CO3 is less than or equal to 200ppm. The fast ion conductor substance is easy to react with water and carbon dioxide in the air to generate Li 2CO3 on the surface of the positive electrode material, which can lead the fast ion conductor substance to be rapidly degraded in the air, thereby causing the surface impedance of the positive electrode matrix material to be increased and affecting the electrochemical performance of the positive electrode material. Therefore, the invention sets two substances into a multi-layer coating structure, takes the fast ion conductor substance as an intermediate transition layer, can avoid degradation caused by direct contact reaction between the fast ion conductor substance and water and carbon dioxide in the air, further controls the Li 2CO3 content on the surface of the positive electrode material to be less than or equal to 200ppm, can avoid the increase of the surface impedance of the positive electrode matrix material, and reduces the electrochemical polarization generated in the charge and discharge process of the battery and the influence on the battery performance. The specific test method for the content of the residual Li 2CO3 on the surface of the positive electrode material is as follows: acid-base neutralization titration experiments were performed using acid (or base) of known mass concentration to determine the residual Li 2CO3 on the surface of the positive electrode material. In the test, phenolphthalein, methyl orange, methyl red and the like are used as acid-base indicators to judge whether the neutralization is complete.
In one example, a third coating layer is further coated between the positive electrode base material and the first coating layer, the third coating layer including a metal compound. The third coating layer is coated on the outer side surface of the positive electrode base material and is arranged between the positive electrode base material and the first coating layer.
The above-described solution of the invention thus already enables better results than the prior art. In order to further enhance the effect, one or more of the following schemes may be further defined.
In the present invention, the fast ion conductor substance includes one or more of lithium aluminum titanium phosphate (Li 1.3Al0.3Ti1.7P3O12, abbreviated as LATP), lithium lanthanum zirconium oxide (Li 7La3Zr2O12, abbreviated as LLZO), and lithium lanthanum zirconium tantalum oxide (Li 6.75La3Zr1.75Ta0.25O12, abbreviated as LLZTO). In one example, the fast ion conductor species includes lithium aluminum titanium phosphate and/or lithium lanthanum zirconium oxide.
In the present invention, the first coating layer may account for 0.03% to 5% of the total mass of the positive electrode base material, and illustratively, the first coating layer may account for 0.03%, 0.04%, 0.05%, 0.06%, 0.07%, 0.08%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, preferably 0.05% to 3% of the total mass of the positive electrode base material. When the mass ratio of the first coating layer in the positive electrode matrix material is less than 0.03%, the conductivity and the lithium ion transmission rate of the surface layer of the positive electrode material are not obviously improved, electrochemical polarization still exists in the charge and discharge process, so that the impedance of the surface layer of the positive electrode material is larger, and when the mass ratio of the first coating layer is more than 5%, the fast ion conductor does not have capacity contribution, and when the coating amount is too large, the gram capacity exertion of the positive electrode material is reduced. Therefore, by controlling the mass ratio of the first coating layer in the positive electrode material within a specific range, the increase of the impedance of the surface of the positive electrode material can be avoided, and the diffusion efficiency of positive active ions near the surface layer of the positive electrode material can be further improved, so that the initial efficiency and gram capacity of a battery made of the positive electrode material are improved.
In the present invention, the second coating layer may be 0.05% to 5% of the total mass of the positive electrode base material, and illustratively, the second coating layer may be 0.05%, 0.06%, 0.07%, 0.08%, 0.09%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, preferably 0.08% to 3% of the total mass of the positive electrode base material. It is understood that when the mass ratio of the second coating layer in the positive electrode base material is less than 0.05%, the coating effect is poor, so that the structural stability of the surface of the positive electrode material is reduced, and when the mass ratio of the second coating layer in the positive electrode base material is more than 5%, the coating amount of LCPO is excessive, the conductivity of the surface of the positive electrode material is reduced, so that the surface impedance of the positive electrode material is increased, thereby being unfavorable for the charge-discharge reaction, and simultaneously, the gram capacity of the positive electrode material is sacrificed. Therefore, the mass ratio of the second coating layer in the positive electrode material is controlled within a specific range, so that the surface structural stability of the positive electrode material in the charge and discharge process is fully improved and the phase change is delayed on the premise that the gram capacity of the positive electrode material is not excessively sacrificed while the surface impedance of the positive electrode material is not increased, and the electrochemical performance and the cycle performance of the battery are effectively improved.
In the present invention, in order to further enhance the coating effect of the first coating layer, to avoid the sacrifice of gram capacity caused by the increase of the impedance of the surface of the positive electrode material, the electrochemical performance and the cycle performance of the battery are enhanced, and in one example, the thickness of the first coating layer is 5nm to 1000nm. The thickness of the first coating layer may be 5nm、10nm、20nm、30nm、40nm、50nm、60nm、70nm、80nm、90nm、100nm、200nm、300nm、400nm、500nm、600nm、700nm、800nm、900nm、1000nm or any two sets of values. In one example, the first cladding layer has a thickness of 20nm to 800nm.
Further, in one example, the second cladding layer has a thickness of 10nm to 1000nm. The thickness of the second cladding layer may be 10nm、20nm、30nm、40nm、50nm、60nm、70nm、80nm、90nm、100nm、200nm、300nm、400nm、500nm、600nm、700nm、800nm、900nm、1000nm or a range of any two sets of values, for example. In one example, the second cladding layer has a thickness of 20nm to 800nm. The thicknesses of the first coating layer and the second coating layer are average values of thicknesses measured by a plurality of point values.
The thickness of the first coating layer and the second coating layer can be influenced by the ratio of the total mass of the positive electrode base material to a certain extent, the electric conductivity and the lithium ion transmission rate of the surface layer of the positive electrode material can be ensured, the impedance of the surface of the positive electrode material can be improved, the gram capacity of the positive electrode material can be improved, the surface structural stability of the positive electrode material in the charging and discharging processes can be fully improved, the phase change can be delayed, the occurrence of side reaction of electrolyte can be further reduced, and the electrochemical performance and the cycle performance of the battery can be further improved.
Still further, in one example, the total thickness of the first cladding layer and the second cladding layer is 15nm to 2000nm. Illustratively, the total thickness of the first cladding layer and the second cladding layer is 15nm、20nm、30nm、40nm、50nm、60nm、70nm、80nm、90nm、100nm、200nm、300nm、400nm、500nm、600nm、700nm、800nm、900nm、1000nm、1100nm、1200nm、1300nm、1400nm、1500nm、1600nm、1700nm、1800nm、1900nm、2000nm or a range of any two sets of values. In one example, the first cladding layer and the second cladding layer have a total thickness of 40nm to 1600nm. In addition, through regulating and controlling the total thickness of the first coating layer and the second coating layer to be in a proper range, the conductivity of the surface layer of the anode material can be better improved, the transmission rate of lithium ions is accelerated, the problem that the side reaction of electrolyte is too fast under high voltage is restrained, the stability of the electrolyte and the interface thereof is obviously improved, the problems of gas production during storage, cyclic expansion and the like are avoided, the integrity of anode material particles can be effectively ensured, the coating effect is improved, and the capacity retention rate and the cyclic performance of a battery are improved.
In the invention, in order to improve the coating effect of the multilayer coating structure, local agglomeration of the coating layer material is avoided. In one example, the second coating layer is coated on the first coating layer in a dot shape, and the second coating layer accounts for 30% -100% of the total coverage area of the first coating layer. It can be understood that by controlling the distribution condition of the coating of the second coating layer and the area ratio of the first coating layer, the situation of local uneven distribution or agglomeration can be avoided as much as possible, and the benefit of the multilayer coating structure can be increased. In yet another example, the second cladding layer comprises 40% -90% of the total coverage area of the first cladding layer.
In the present invention, in order to obtain better electrochemical performance and provide higher gram capacity and better cycle performance of a battery made using the positive electrode material, in an example, the particle diameter D v50 of the positive electrode material is 3 μm to 28 μm, and the particle diameter D v50 of the positive electrode material may be 3 μm, 4 μm, 5 μm, 8 μm, 10 μm, 15 μm, 16 μm, 18 μm, 20 μm, 23 μm, 24 μm, 25 μm, 28 μm or a range of any two sets of values. In one example, the particle size D v50 of the positive electrode material is 4 μm to 25 μm.
In the present invention, the positive electrode base material may include a lithium cobaltate material or a nickel cobalt manganese ternary material. It has been found through research that the main phase transition restricting the application of lithium cobaltate materials under high voltage conditions occurs at 4.55V (vs Li +/Li), i.e. at this voltage, the O3 phase of lithium cobaltate undergoes an irreversible phase transition towards the H1-3 phase, whereas the ionic and electronic conductivity of lithium cobaltate in the H1-3 phase is poor, which leads to an accelerated capacity decay of the lithium cobaltate material. Therefore, the problem of phase change of the surface structure of the positive electrode base material can be effectively solved by coating the coating layer on the positive electrode base material, so that the electrochemical performance and the cycle performance of the positive electrode material under high voltage are improved.

When fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) and 1, 3-Propane Sultone (PS) are included in the electrolyte, the cycle life of the battery under a high voltage system can be significantly improved, probably due to the following reasons: the reduction potential of PS is higher than that of a carbonic ester solvent, so that a chemically and electrochemically stable SEI film can be formed on the surface of a negative electrode by means of preferential reduction, further decomposition of electrolyte components is effectively inhibited, and the high-temperature cycle performance of a battery can be effectively improved, but more inorganic components in the SEI film formed by PS can cause larger impedance, so that Li + transmission is blocked, normal-temperature dynamics are deteriorated, and the rate performance is deteriorated. The FEC is compact in film formation and does not increase impedance, so that the normal temperature dynamic performance can be effectively improved, but the FEC can be decomposed into HF at high temperature to dissolve an SEI film, so that the high temperature cycle performance is deteriorated, the FEC and PS can be effectively complemented when combined for use, the stability of the SEI film at high temperature can be ensured while the impedance of the SEI film is reduced, the electrolyte component is prevented from being further decomposed, the impedance of a battery can be further reduced when the FEC and PS are combined for use, and the cycle performance of the battery comprising the positive electrode material at high temperature can be improved.
In order to further reduce the resistance of the battery, avoid capacity loss and better improve the cycle performance of the battery, in one example, the fluoroethylene carbonate is contained in an amount of 0.1 wt% to 10 wt% (e.g., 0.1 wt%, 0.2 wt%, 0.3 wt%, 0.4 wt%, 0.5 wt%, 0.6 wt%, 0.7 wt%, 0.8 wt%, 0.9 wt%, 1 wt%, 2 wt%, 3 wt%, 4 wt%, 5wt%, 6wt%, 7 wt%, 8 wt%, 9 wt%, 10 wt%) and the 1, 3-propane sultone is contained in an amount of 0.1 wt% to 6wt% (e.g., 0.1 wt%, 0.2 wt%, 0.3 wt%, 0.4 wt%, 0.5 wt%, 0.6 wt%, 0.7 wt%, 0.8 wt%, 0.9 wt%, 1 wt%, 2 wt%, 3 wt%, 4 wt%, 5wt%, 6 wt%) based on the total weight of the electrolyte. The relative contents of PS and FEC relative to the total mass of the electrolyte are controlled respectively, so that the impedance of the SEI film can be controlled at a relatively low level, the SEI film is prevented from being dissolved, the stability of the electrolyte is ensured, and the electrolyte is used together with the anode material, so that the loss of electrolyte components can be further reduced, and the cycle performance of the battery is further improved.
In one example, the organic solvent includes a linear carbonate and/or a linear carboxylate and a cyclic carbonate.
In one example, the cyclic carbonate includes at least one of ethylene carbonate and propylene carbonate, the linear carbonate includes at least one of dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, and ethyl methyl carbonate, and the linear carboxylate includes at least one of ethyl propionate, propyl propionate, and propyl acetate.
In one example, the linear carbonate and/or the linear carboxylate is present in an amount of 60% to 80% by volume and the cyclic carbonate is present in an amount of 20% to 40% by volume, based on the total volume of the organic solvent. When the organic solvent contained in the electrolyte contains specific content of linear carbonate and/or linear carboxylate and cyclic carbonate, side reaction between the electrolyte and the positive electrode material under high voltage can be reduced, and interface impedance of the battery can be reduced, so that electrochemical performance and cycle performance of the battery under high voltage can be further improved.
In one example, the conductive lithium salt includes at least one of lithium hexafluorophosphate, lithium bis-fluorosulfonyl imide, lithium bis-trifluoromethanesulfonyl imide.
In order to further suppress side reactions such as decomposition of the electrolyte on the surface of the positive electrode material and improve the cycle performance of the battery, a nitrile compound may be further included in the additive of the electrolyte. In one example, the nitrile compound includes at least one of adiponitrile, succinonitrile, 1, 2-bis (cyanoethoxy) ethane. The nitrile compound can form a protective film on the surface of the positive electrode material and effectively inhibit the dissolution of transition metals.
In the present invention, the battery further includes a negative electrode sheet and a separator.
In one example, the negative electrode sheet includes a negative electrode active material, a conductive agent, and a binder.
In an example, the negative plate comprises the following components in percentage by mass: 70 to 99wt% of negative electrode active material, 0.5 to 15wt% of conductive agent, and 0.5 to 15wt% of binder.
In an example, the negative plate comprises the following components in percentage by mass: 80 to 98 weight percent of negative electrode active material, 1 to 10 weight percent of conductive agent and 1 to 10 weight percent of binder.
In one example, the negative active material includes one or a combination of several of artificial graphite, natural graphite, hard carbon, mesophase carbon microspheres, lithium titanate, silicon carbon, and silicon oxide.
In one example, the separator used is a polypropylene-based material, or a rubberized separator coated on one or both sides with a ceramic on the basis of this.
The invention also provides application of the positive electrode material, which is used for a lithium ion battery of a high-voltage system.
In one example, the electrochemical performance of the positive electrode material assembled lithium ion battery was tested at a voltage of ≡4.53V (vs. graphite negative electrode).

As can be seen from the test results of tables 6 and 7: when the positive electrode material which is used as the positive electrode active material of the lithium ion battery and is coated by the LiCoPO 4 material with high voltage resistance is used as the first coating layer in combination and matched with the electrolyte used in the invention, the high gram capacity is exerted under a voltage system of 4.53V or more, no obvious loss is caused in gram capacity along with the increase of the coating amount, the cycle performance of the battery core under a high voltage system is very excellent, and the capacity retention rate after 500 times of cycle is at least 90 percent; the LLZO coating or LCPO coating alone has an improvement effect on high-temperature circulation, but the high-temperature performance is worse than that of the combined coating when the LLZO coating or LCPO coating is used as the outermost coating substance alone, and the DCR of the battery cell is obviously increased when the LCPO coating is used alone. When the positive electrode material of the present invention is used in combination with an electrolyte containing fluoroethylene carbonate or1, 3 propane sultone alone, there is also a certain improvement effect on the cycle, but the optimum improvement effect containing both additives cannot be achieved. When the positive electrode material of the present invention is used in combination with an electrolyte containing 1,3 propane sultone alone, the problem of DCR increase is caused by the high film formation resistance of 1,3 propane sultone.
In a word, the positive electrode material and the battery comprising the positive electrode material can enable the lithium ion battery to achieve higher energy density under high voltage and simultaneously give consideration to excellent cycle performance, and can meet the demand of people for thinning the lithium ion battery.
The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Within the scope of the technical idea of the invention, a number of simple variants of the technical solution of the invention are possible, including combinations of the individual technical features in any other suitable way, which simple variants and combinations should likewise be regarded as being disclosed by the invention, all falling within the scope of protection of the invention.
