Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to like or similar elements or elements having like or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are illustrative only and are not to be construed as limiting the application.
In one aspect of the present application, the present application provides a positive electrode active material comprising: the first active material comprises a lithium-rich manganese-based material, and the gram capacity of the first active material in a 2.5V-4.35V range is not less than 150mAh/g; and a second active material including a lithium-containing phosphate. Thus, a positive electrode active material having a high gram capacity, a long cycle life, and a high energy density can be obtained. Gram capacity refers to the ratio between the amount of capacitance that an active material can release and the mass of the active material, with higher gram capacity indicating greater capacitance per mass of active material.
For ease of understanding, the following description will be given of the principle that the positive electrode active material in the present application has the above advantageous effects:
The lithium-containing phosphate positive electrode active material has the advantages of low cost, high safety and the like, and has the defects of low gram capacity and rapid early-stage cycle attenuation. For example, in the first charge and discharge process of the battery cell, the electrolyte solution undergoes a reduction decomposition reaction on the surface of the negative electrode, and forms a solid electrolyte interface film (SEI film), and the generation of the SEI film consumes a large amount of active lithium, thereby resulting in a decrease in the actual energy density of the battery compared with the theoretical calculation value. In the cycling process of the battery core, the cracking and crushing of lithium-containing phosphate particles, the thickening and repairing of the SEI film can continuously consume active lithium, so that the cycling performance of the battery is obviously reduced.
Further, although the lithium supplementing additive is added into the positive electrode active material layer, lithium can be added into the battery before the lithium battery works so as to supplement lithium ions, and the problems of low energy density, low first-ring efficiency, poor cycle life and the like of the lithium battery are solved. However, the lithium-supplementing additive in the related art usually needs to be charged to a higher voltage to effectively exert the lithium-supplementing capacity, and taking the lithium-rich manganese-based material as an example, the lithium-rich manganese-based material can bring about the advantages of high capacity, high energy density, low cost, long cycle life and the like due to the superlattice formed by the lithium-rich lithium manganate and the layered lithium metal oxide. However, the lithium-rich manganese-based material in the related art needs to be charged to 4.5V to effectively exert the capacity, thereby achieving the effect of lithium supplementation, and the working voltage of the lithium-containing phosphate is lower, typically 3.2-4.2V. If the lithium-containing phosphate is mixed with the lithium-supplementing additive with the upper limit voltage of more than 4.5V to form the positive electrode active material layer, after the battery is charged to 4.5V, the structure of the lithium-containing phosphate collapses, so that lithium ions cannot be intercalated back, thereby causing rapid attenuation of the capacity and obviously reducing the cycle performance of the battery.
According to the application, the lithium-rich manganese-based material with the gram capacity of not less than 150mAh/g in the 0.33C charging and discharging range of 2.5-4.35V is used as the lithium supplementing additive, and is mixed with the lithium-containing phosphate to be used as the positive electrode active material, so that the energy density (energy density=gram capacity×voltage plateau×compacted density) of the lithium-containing phosphate can be greatly improved, and the lithium-rich manganese-based material with the gram capacity of not less than 150mAh/g in the 0.33C charging and discharging range of 2.5-4.35V can be activated gradually under low voltage, active lithium is released in the circulating process, the consumption of anode lithium is supplemented, the early-circulating attenuation trend of a phosphate system is improved, and slow attenuation is realized. In summary, by utilizing the high capacity and high voltage characteristics of the lithium-rich manganese-based material and combining the advantages of low cost, high safety and the like of the lithium-containing phosphate particles, the energy density, the cycle stability and other electrical properties of the lithium-containing phosphate system are greatly improved, and the positive electrode active material with higher gram capacity, better cycle life and higher energy density is obtained. In general, by adopting the lithium-rich manganese-based material with the gram capacity of not less than 150mAh/g in the 0.33C charging and discharging range of 2.5-4.35V and the lithium-containing phosphate to be mixed and then used as the positive electrode active material of the lithium battery, the high-capacity and high-voltage characteristics of the lithium-rich manganese-based material are utilized to be combined with the advantages of low cost, high safety and the like of the lithium-containing phosphate particles, the electrical properties such as the energy density, the cycle stability and the like of a lithium-containing phosphate system are greatly improved, and the positive electrode active material with higher capacity, better cycle life and higher energy density is obtained.

The element M doped with the lithium-rich manganese-based material can promote the diffusion of lithium ions in the first active material, and through enhancing the dynamic performance of the first active material, the gram capacity of the lithium-rich manganese-based material is promoted, so that the capacity of a battery is improved, the manganese element can also improve the crystal structure stability of the lithium-rich manganese-based material, no obvious structural change occurs in the charging and discharging process, and the capacity, the circulation stability and the circulation life of the lithium-rich manganese-based material are improved. Specifically, liNi xMn(1-x-y)MyO2 in the first active material is an electrochemical active ingredient, and can release capacity during a cycle, li 2MnO3 in the first active material is an inactive ingredient, and plays a role in stabilizing the chemical structure of LiNi xMn(1-x-y)MyO2 during a cycle, and by controlling the proportion of Li 2MnO3 in the first active material to be 0.1-0.3, the gram capacity of the first active material at a range of 2.5V-4.35V is not less than 150mAh/g, for example, referring to fig. 8, when the chemical formula of the first active material is 0.2Li 2MnO3·0.8LiNi0.5Mn0.5O2, the gram capacity of the first active material when charged to 4.35V can be made to be greater than 155mAh/g. When the chemical formula of the first active material meets nLi 2MnO3·(1-n)LiNixMn(1-x-y)MyO2 and n is smaller than 0.1, the structure of the first active material is unstable, and the circulation stability of active ingredients in the first active material is poor; when the chemical formula of the first active material meets nLi 2MnO3·(1-n)LiNixMn(1-x-y)MyO2 and n is larger than 0.3, the gram capacity of the first active material is lower, the lithium supplementing effect is poorer, and the energy density of the lithium-containing phosphate system is not obviously improved.
According to some embodiments of the application, the second active material is a lithium-containing phosphate, in particular, the second active material may comprise an olivine-type lithium-containing phosphate. The kind of the lithium-containing phosphate is not particularly limited, and for example, the chemical formula of the lithium-containing phosphate may satisfy LiFe 1-a-bMnaQbPO4, wherein 0.ltoreq.a.ltoreq.1, 0.ltoreq.b.ltoreq.0.1, 0.ltoreq.a+b.ltoreq.1, and the q element includes at least one of transition metal elements other than Fe and Mn and non-transition metal elements. Specifically, the lithium-containing phosphate may include at least one of lithium iron phosphate, lithium manganese phosphate, modified lithium iron phosphate, modified lithium manganese phosphate, and modified lithium manganese phosphate. The modifying compound of each material can be doping modification and/or surface coating modification of the material. The lithium-containing phosphate has the advantages of low cost, better test results of drop tests and needling tests and higher thermal safety during overcharging, and can effectively reduce the possibility of dangers during thermal abuse and mechanical abuse of the battery cell.

When the content of the first active material in the positive electrode active material is within the above range, the content of the first active material in the positive electrode active material is higher, and the energy density of the positive electrode active material can be effectively improved.
According to some embodiments of the present application, the particle sizes of the first active material and the second active material are not particularly limited, for example, the Dv50 of the first active material may be 4 μm to 10 μm; further, the Dv50 of the first active material may be 6-8 μm; the Dv50 of the second active material may be 0.5 μm to 2 μm; further, the Dv50 of the second active material may be 0.8 to 1.5 μm, and when the Dv50 of the first active material and the second active material are within the above range, the gradation of particles may be achieved, further improving the compacted density of the positive electrode active material. The Dv50 of the particles may be measured using a laser particle sizer, specifically, the positive electrode active material powder particles are first dispersed in a suitable amount of solvent to form a dispersion. And then placing the dispersion liquid into a laser particle analyzer to measure the particle size of the anode active material powder.
According to some embodiments of the present application, a discharge voltage plateau of the mixed positive electrode active material may be 3.3V to 3.8V by mixing a lithium-rich manganese-based material having an upper charge voltage of not more than 4.5V with a lithium-containing phosphate having an upper charge voltage of not more than 4.2V in the aforementioned ratio. Specifically, the discharge voltage plateau of the positive electrode active material can be tested as follows: the positive electrode active material is manufactured into a battery through a conventional process, after the residual electric quantity in the battery is emptied, the battery is charged to respective upper limit voltage according to 1/3C, then the battery is charged to the current of less than or equal to 0.05C at constant voltage at the upper limit voltage, after standing for 5min, the battery is discharged to the voltage of 2.5V at 1/3C, the electric quantity discharged by the battery in the discharging process is the discharge capacity, and the energy output by the battery in the discharging process is the discharge energy through the formula: discharge voltage plateau = discharge energy/discharge capacity, the discharge voltage plateau can be calculated. With the increase of the proportion of the lithium-rich manganese-based material in the mixed positive electrode active material, the discharge voltage platform of the positive electrode active material is gradually raised. When the discharge voltage plateau of the positive electrode active material is within the aforementioned range, the mixed positive electrode active material including the lithium-rich manganese-based material and the lithium-containing phosphate mixed in the aforementioned ratio according to the present application has a higher energy density than the single lithium-containing phosphate positive electrode active material (voltage plateau of about 3.2V).
