Description

O2 type lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material and preparation and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of lithium ion batteries, in particular to an O2 type lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material, and preparation and application thereof.
Background
With the rapid development of the mobile automobile market, high-energy density lithium ion batteries are urgently needed to cope with the requirement of high endurance of electric automobiles. In current lithium ion battery systems, the capacity mismatch between the positive and negative electrode materials (positive electrode capacity is almost an order of magnitude smaller than negative electrode capacity) severely impedes the development of lithium ion batteries. The lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material represented by xLi 2MnO3·(1-x)LiMO2 (M is a transition metal) is recognized as one of the most promising candidates for the positive electrode material of the next-generation rechargeable lithium ion battery because of its high specific capacity of 250mah·g -1 and high energy density of 800wh·kg -1.
Compared with the traditional lithium ion battery anode materials such as layered LiCoO 2, olivine LiFePO 4 and ternary NCM, the lithium-rich manganese-based anode material has the advantages of higher specific discharge capacity and specific energy, high pollution, lower cobalt content, even zero cobalt, lower cost, more environmental protection, higher thermal stability and the like, and is rare and expensive. However, the lithium-rich manganese-based material has low initial coulomb efficiency and rapid capacity and average voltage decay due to irreversible transition metal migration and irreversible oxygen release caused by a special anion oxygen oxidation-reduction mechanism under a high voltage platform (more than 4.5V), which severely shortens the service life of the lithium-rich manganese-based material in practical application and greatly limits the large-scale commercial application of the lithium-rich manganese-based material.
The lithium-rich cathode material can be mainly classified into an O3 phase and an O2 phase according to the stacking sequence of oxygen layers, and O3 is more thermodynamically stable than the O2 phase, so that the conventional high-temperature sintering only generates an O3-type lithium-rich manganese-based material. The O2 phase is a metastable state structure which is unstable in thermodynamics, and cannot be prepared by a conventional high-temperature solid-phase sintering method, and can be prepared by a Li/Na ion exchange method by taking a P2 type sodium ion positive electrode material as a precursor, wherein the ion exchange method has certain randomness, and the selection of proper process parameters is very important. The O2 type lithium-rich manganese-based material has been demonstrated to effectively mitigate the sustained decay of the average operating voltage of the lithium-rich manganese-based material by achieving reversible transition metal migration and mitigating the asymmetry of the anionic oxygen redox due to its particular ABCB type oxygen stacking sequence. The conventional O2 type lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material generally adopts a P2 sodium-electricity positive electrode with high sodium content as a precursor, such as Na 5/6(Li0.2Mn0.6Ni0.2)O2, wherein the precursor only has a small amount of sodium vacancies, and then the typical O2 type lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material prepared by a Li/Na ion exchange method has a chemical formula of Li 1.1Mn0.6Ni0.2O2 and has a certain lithium vacancies, which is similar to the conventional cobalt-free O3 type lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material: in contrast to Li 1.2Mn0.6Ni0.2O2, the average operating voltage decay per turn at a current density of 1C (200mA.g -1) at a high cut-off voltage of 2-4.8V can only be raised from 2mv/cycle to 1mv/cycle, and does not reach the desired level. The average operating voltage decay is a key problem limiting the large-scale commercial application of lithium-rich cathode materials, and can directly lead to continuous reduction of the energy density of the battery in the cycling process, and the difficulty of battery management is increased. Therefore, the difficulty of how to further suppress the continuous decay of the average voltage of the lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material and control it within a negligible range (< 0.2 mv/cycle) is a major and difficult point of research in the art.

The invention has the beneficial effects that:
the O2 type lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material provided by the invention has an innovative design of a P2 type sodium-electricity positive electrode precursor, and the chemical formula of the P2 sodium precursor is as follows: the property of Na 0.6(Li0.2Mn0.57Ni0.19Al0.04)O2 and P2 sodium precursor can directly influence the performance of the O2 type lithium-rich manganese-based material after Li/Na ion exchange, compared with the traditional P2 sodium precursor Na 5/6(Li0.2Mn0.6Ni0.2)O2, the lower sodium content can lead the P2 sodium precursor to generate a pure P2 phase more easily and generate a large number of sodium vacancies in situ in the high-temperature sintering process, the charge of the sodium vacancies is generally provided with a certain charge compensation by Ni element, but in the designed P2 sodium precursor, the valence of the Ni element is insufficient to compensate the charge of the excessive sodium vacancies, so the designed P2 sodium precursor also has local oxygen defects, namely oxygen vacancies, in addition, trace Al element doping is introduced into the designed P2 sodium precursor, the doping amount of the Al element is 4 percent after the regulation and control, the too small doping amount has no obvious influence on the electrochemical performance and the too much doping amount can lead to the occurrence of impurity phases.
The P2 sodium precursor design of the sodium-oxygen double-vacancy enables the O2 type lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material after ion exchange to simultaneously generate lithium vacancies and oxygen vacancies, the lithium-oxygen double-vacancy plays an effective role in inhibiting the anionic oxygen oxidation reduction of a high-pressure area (> 4.5V) of the lithium-rich manganese-based material, the capacity contributed by the first-round irreversible oxygen oxidation reduction reaction is greatly reduced, the loss and oxygen release of lattice oxygen are reduced, and the symmetry of the oxygen oxidation reduction reaction is improved, so that the voltage attenuation of the O2 type lithium-rich manganese-based material is effectively relieved.
Secondly, for trace Al element doping in the P2 sodium precursor, al element doping or substitution is very effective in inhibiting anion oxygen oxidation reduction all the time, such as in a conventional O3 type lithium-rich manganese-based material, proper Al doping can control voltage attenuation to be about 1.5mv/cycle, but does not reach an ideal level, because of instability of an O3 structure, most O3 materials have larger irreversible capacity and irreversible lattice oxygen loss in first-ring charge and discharge, meanwhile, transition metals are irreversibly migrated, the local structure of the O3 materials is irreversibly degenerated into a spinel structure, the ordered superlattice structure of Li-Mn6 honeycomb disappears, redox coupling is important in controlling the oxidation reduction potential of Ni 4+/Ni3+/Ni2+ evolved into Mn 4+/Mn3+/Mn2+ with low redox potential by high redox potential, so that the average voltage of the O3 materials is seriously attenuated, al plays an important role in stabilizing the redox potential of Mn, the doping effect of the Al element is very limited in the matrix, the O2 structure is used as a reversible transition metal, the oxidation-reversible transition metal structure can be realized, the oxidation-reduction coupling effect of Mn element is not limited in the range of the oxidation reduction potential of Mn 2 is controlled in the first-ring, and the oxidation reduction effect of Mn is further controlled in the range of the oxidation reduction potential of Mn 2 is not to be controlled in the positive-to be about 0.2.
2. The preparation method of the O2-type lithium-rich manganese-based battery anode material provided by the invention adopts a novel ion exchange method, is different from a conventional coprecipitation precursor combined high-temperature solid phase sintering method, greatly reduces the synthesis temperature and synthesis time by the ion exchange method, and compared with the conventional high-temperature sintering at 850 ℃ for 20 hours, the ion exchange process only needs 280 ℃ for heat treatment for 1-4 hours, so that the energy cost is obviously reduced, and the problems of serious Li/Ni mixed emission, great volatilization of lithium salt and the like caused by high-temperature sintering can be effectively solved.
There is some randomness in the Li/Na ion exchange process, so it is important to control the process parameters well. Firstly, the molar ratio of Li/Na in the eutectic molten salt lithium source and the P2 sodium precursor is not too high, and the excessive content of the lithium source can cause a large amount of impurity anions to remain in the prepared O2 type lithium-rich manganese-based material, which can seriously obstruct lithium ion transmission and affect the rate performance and coulombic efficiency; the Li/Na ratio is not too low, the content of the lithium source is too low, the Li/Na exchange of the prepared O2 type lithium-rich manganese-based material is incomplete, a large amount of Na element residues exist, and the capacity of the O2 type lithium-rich manganese-based material is reduced.
Secondly, the heat treatment temperature should be about 280 ℃ and the time is not too long, when the mol ratio of the LiNO 3 is more than 87.4% and the temperature is higher than 255 ℃ according to the phase diagram of the eutectic molten salt LiNO 3/LiCl, the LiNO 3/LiCl can reach the eutectic molten state, liCl is added to further reduce the migration barrier of Li/Na ion exchange, and the Li/Na ion exchange can be carried out under the flowable liquid state, so the heat treatment temperature should be more than 255 ℃ but not too high, the temperature rise can lead the Li/Na exchange to become severe, the stability of the generated O2 structure is reduced, the O2 structure is regarded as a thermodynamically unstable metastable structure, the phase change to the thermodynamically more stable O3 structure can occur at about 350 ℃, and the O2 structure can be completed to be converted into the O3 structure at 450 ℃, so the heat treatment temperature range is most suitable between 255 ℃ and 300 ℃.
3. The O2 type lithium-rich manganese-based material disclosed by the invention is contained in the composite anode of the lithium ion battery, and has a novel structural design of O2 with trace Al doping and double lithium oxygen vacancies, the design effectively improves the reversibility and symmetry of the oxidation reduction of the anionic oxygen, inhibits the release of irreversible oxygen and structural degradation, improves the voltage hysteresis, and remarkably improves the voltage stability of the lithium-rich anode material, and the lithium ion battery has excellent cycle and voltage stability under both low multiplying power and normal multiplying power: the specific capacity of the first-cycle discharge in the voltage interval of 2.0-4.8V reaches 200-250 mAh g -1, the lithium ion battery circulates for 200 cycles with the current density of low multiplying power 0.3C (60 mA g -1) and normal multiplying power 1C (200 mA g -1), the capacity retention rate of the lithium ion battery is more than 85%, and the average working voltage attenuation before and after the circulation is negligible.
In conclusion, the preparation method is novel and unique, the energy consumption is greatly reduced, a brand-new O2 type lithium-rich structure design is adopted, and in-situ construction of lithium oxygen double vacancies effectively inhibits irreversible oxygen release, improves the symmetry of anion redox and stabilizes lattice oxygen; the oxidation-reduction potential of Mn is further stabilized by doping trace Al elements, so that voltage attenuation is effectively inhibited and voltage hysteresis is relieved in a long-cycle process; the element of the invention is zero cobalt and high manganese, the raw materials are easy to obtain, the cost is low, the invention is safe and environment-friendly, and the invention has wide prospect in application as the next generation high specific energy lithium ion battery.

TABLE 1
Fig. 8 and 9 are O1s spectra of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) tests of example 1 and comparative example 1, respectively, in which the oxygen vacancies each correspond to a fitted peak at 531.9eV, and the results show that the surface oxygen vacancy contents of example 1 and comparative example 1 are both up to 60%, which indicates that the low sodium content of 0.6 in the P2 sodium electrical positive precursor successfully constructs a large number of oxygen vacancies. By comparing the electrochemical performances of the comparative example 1 and the comparative example 2, the conventional O3 type lithium-rich manganese-based material, namely the comparative example 2, has extremely serious average voltage attenuation after long circulation, particularly at low multiplying power of 0.3C, the comparative example 1 is an O2 type lithium-rich manganese-based material without Al doping, and the voltage stability is greatly improved compared with the comparative example 2, so that the special O2 structure and the lithium-oxygen double-vacancy design effectively reduce irreversible oxygen oxidation reduction, and the oxygen oxidation reduction and transition metal migration reversibility are enhanced, so that the voltage attenuation is remarkably relieved relative to the conventional O3 structure. Compared with comparative example 1, the preparation method can obtain the preparation method of the lithium-rich manganese-based anode material, wherein the introduction of the Al element forms stronger Al-O bond so as to weaken the covalent nature of Mn-O bond, further weaken the oxidation reduction of anionic oxygen, stabilize the oxidation reduction potential of Mn, inhibit the dissolution of transition metal Mn, obtain excellent cycle stability and negligible voltage attenuation, and the voltage stability is obviously superior to that of most of O3 and O2-type lithium-rich manganese-based anode materials.
In summary, according to the O2 type lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material and the lithium ion battery, the O2 type lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material with remarkably improved initial efficiency, excellent cycle stability and negligible voltage attenuation is obtained by in-situ construction of the lithium-oxygen double vacancies in the stable O2 type structure and introduction of the trace Al doping. Meanwhile, the process is novel and unique, the energy consumption is effectively reduced, the raw materials of the components are easy to obtain, the cost is low, the process is safe and environment-friendly, and the process has wide prospect in application as a next-generation high-specific-energy lithium ion battery.
Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical solution of the present invention, and not for limiting the same; although the invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that: the technical scheme described in the foregoing embodiments can be modified or some or all of the technical features thereof can be replaced by equivalents; such modifications and substitutions do not depart from the spirit of the invention.
