- Y02E60/10—Energy storage using batteries
Definitions
- a too high degree of order in the crystal leads to non-optimal electrochemical properties, such as a reduced storage capacity. So far, however, an increase in the disorder in the crystal has led to a deterioration in the mechanical properties, such as a drop in the tamped density below 1.5 g / m 3 , a poorer filterability and a wider range of the particle size distribution.
- a nickel mixed hydroxide cathode material which is characterized in that it contains two defined populations, a main and a secondary population, it is possible to overcome the above disadvantages.
- the median of the main population of the particles is between 6 and 12 ⁇ m and the median of the secondary population is between 0.3 and 1.5 ⁇ m. In a further embodiment, a mass fraction of the main population of 70 to 95% by weight is particularly preferred.
- the nickel mixed hydroxide cathode material according to this invention is preferably composed such that it is made of nickel and additionally with respect to the cations at least one component from the group magnesium, calcium, zinc, cobalt, aluminum, manganese iron, chromium, rare earths.
- the mixed hydroxide can furthermore contain mono- or divalent anions, in particular from the group consisting of chloride, nitrate and sulfate. Like the other divalent and trivalent cations present in minor amounts, these can be incorporated into the nickel hydroxide crystal structure.
- the improved properties of the nickel mixed hydroxide material are achieved in that it has a certain bimodal grain size distribution.
- Powders with a bimodal size distribution show a higher packing density with a suitable ball diameter ratio compared to powders with a corresponding monomodal particle distribution and the same pure density and morphology. It also increases the inner surface of the material and the number of contact points per unit volume. In spite of the considerably lower compactness of the precipitated materials, tamped densities between 1.8 g / cm 3 and 2.0 g / cm 3 can be achieved.
- the electrochemical storage capacity increases to over 260 mAh / g.
- the materials sediment quickly, are easy to filter and wash out and have a significantly increased BET surface area of 20 m 2 / g to 40 m 2 / g.
- a suitable ball diameter ratio of the populations combined with a suitable mass ratio between these populations is essential for the inventive effect, as has not yet been set in the prior art.
- the range between the percentiles D 90% and D ⁇ 0% of the mass-based particle distribution of the main and secondary population is such that it does not overlap.
- the percentile indicates the x value at which the distribution sum via the variable x has reached the corresponding percentage of the total distribution.
- the nickel mixed hydroxide material of this invention can be prepared by a precipitation process in a loop reactor with an integrated clarification zone, as described in detail below. Due to the integrated clarification zone, the average residence time of the solid in the reactor can be selected largely independently of the residence time of the reaction solution.
- a possible production process for the nickel mixed hydroxide cathode material according to the invention is to bring about the oscillation phenomena in the reactor with respect to the grain size in a targeted manner by setting the parameters. It was found that this results in a synchronous mixing of a precipitate consisting of the finest primary particles and a coarse-grained agglomerate resulting from another phase of formation during the precipitation step and results in a material with a bimodal distribution in the sense of the invention.
- Another way of generating a bimodal grain size distribution synchronously with a precipitation step in a continuous process is to initiate a spontaneous increase in the number of primary particles by a sudden supply of metal salt at regular intervals in addition to the continuous material flow.
- the increased number of crystallization nuclei creates a second product population with a smaller grain diameter.
- the process according to the invention for producing the desired nickel mixed hydroxide cathode material is therefore generally characterized in that in a loop reactor with an integrated clarification zone, a reaction mixture of nickel mixed hydroxide, for example an aqueous solution of alkali metal ions, nickel (II) ions, ammonia, OH " ions and from at least one component from the group of divalent or trivalent cations, in particular magnesium, calcium, zinc, cobalt, aluminum, manganese, iron, chromium, rare earths, and at least one component from the group of monovalent or divalent anions, in particular chloride, nitrate , Sulfate is present and that to form the mixed oxide, a nickel (II) salt solution provided with further metal ions, in particular the aforementioned cations, an aqueous ammonia solution and an alkali metal hydroxide solution are added and the granular nickel mixed hydroxide cathode material formed as a solid together with proportions of the discharged liquid component of the reaction mixture and
- the nickel (II) salt solution and the alkali metal hydroxide solution can be added essentially simultaneously at a substantially constant pH, or in addition to the continuous and essentially simultaneous addition of the nickel salt solution and the alkali metal hydroxide solution, at regular time intervals between 0.5 and 5 hours, volume fractions between 0.5 and 15% of the nickel salt solution to be metered and the alkali metal hydroxide solution to be metered are added in batches to the reaction mixture without the pH value being changed in the long term.
- the added nickel (II) salt solution preferably contains between 80 and 125 g / l nickel cations as well as one or more cations from the group magnesium, calcium, zinc, cobalt, aluminum, manganese, chromium, iron, rare earths in each case between 0.1 and 20 g / l.
- the aqueous ammonia solution preferably contains between 1 and 25% by weight ammonia.
- the alkali metal hydroxide solution can consist of aqueous NaOH, KOH and / or LiOH solution and preferably consists exclusively of NaOH solution.
- the Total alkali metal hydroxide content is between 10 and 30 wt .-%, preferably about 20 wt .-% based on the total mass of the solution.
- the concentrations in the reaction solution of the reaction mixture are advantageously reduced to 50 g / l to 60 g / l with respect to the total concentration of sodium, potassium and lithium and to 0.1 mg / l to 100 mg / l nickel (II) during the implementation of the process.
- -Ions adjusted to 0.1 mg / l to 100 mg / l with respect to the total concentration of magnesium, calcium, zinc, cobalt, aluminum and manganese, OH " , chloride, nitrate and / or sulfate being present as counterions.
- the product suspension withdrawn from the mixed area of the loop reactor is processed using known methods for solid / liquid separation, e.g. a vacuum belt filter, transferred into a solids-free solution and into a solid with 0.05 to 0.35 mass parts of adhesive solution.
- solid / liquid separation e.g. a vacuum belt filter
- the solid particles discharged with the reaction solution overflowing at the reactor are collected in a subsequent clarifying apparatus and returned to the reactor.
- the temperature of the reaction mixture is preferably kept constant over time at 20 ° C. to 80 ° C., preferably 30 ° C. to 60 ° C. and more preferably within an interval of ⁇ 1 ° C.
- the pH of the reaction solution is 9.8 to 13.7, preferably 11.6 to 12.9 and is kept constant over time within a tolerance of ⁇ 0.05.
- the alkali metal hydroxide solution can be metered into the reactor in a molar ratio of 0.9 to 1.3, preferably 1.05 to 1.10 to the sum of the cations of the nickel (II) salt solution. It is advantageously introduced into the reactor directly below or directly on the liquid surface.
- the nickel (II) salt solution is preferably introduced into the reactor below the liquid surface, more preferably in the hydrodynamic loop area.
- the aqueous ammonia solution is also particularly advantageously introduced directly below or directly onto the liquid surface, preferably in the immediate vicinity of the nickel (II) salt solution.
- a particularly advantageous procedure for producing the nickel mixed hydroxide cathode material according to the invention is based on a combination of coordinated chemical, physical and mechanical factors and comprises.
- a nickel (II) salt solution provided with further metal ions, an aqueous ammonia solution and an alkali metal hydroxide solution are added to this reaction mixture.
- the reaction solution contains from 50 to 60 g / l of alkali metal ions, from 0.1 to 100 mg / l of nickel (II) ions, 0.1 to 100 mg / l of cations and 0.1 to 200 g / l of anions.
