Description

HUREAULITE-TYPE MANGANESE IRON PHOSPHATE AND PREPARATION
METHOD AND USE THEREOF
FIELD
100011 The present disclosure belongs to the field of positive electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries, and in particular relates to a hureaul te-type manganese iron phosphate and a preparation method and use thereof.
BACKGROUND
100021 Lithium-ion batteries are currently the most promising power batteries due to their high energy density, large charge-discharge current and long cycle life. Among them, lithium iron phosphate has the advantages of good safety, high theoretical capacity and good rate capability, and becomes one of the most widely used positive electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries, attracting more and more researchers' attention. However, it also has disadvantages such as poor electronic conductivity, small lithium ion diffusion coefficient, and low working potential platform, which affects its development and application in the field of power batteries. At present, carbon coating, particle size reduction and element doping are the main improvement methods to overcome the material defects. In addition, the lithium manganese phosphate material (4.1 eV) of the same family structure has a higher redox potential than lithium iron phosphate (3.4 eV), and has the advantages of greater output voltage and higher capacity, but its lower conductivity and rate capability greatly limit the application of lithium manganese phosphate. The LiMmYexPO4/C material, which is the combination of the two, can not only retain the advantages of high safety and high stability of lithium iron phosphate, but also improve its working voltage to varying degrees according to the amount of manganese added. This solid solution system has been favored by a growing number of researchers and has gradually become the future development trend and an alternative to lithium iron phosphate materials.
[00031 Similar to the preparation method of lithium iron phosphate, LiMm_Ye"PO4/C can also be directly prepared by direct solid-phase sintering method, hydrothermal method, precipitation method, etc. The high-temperature solid-phase method has the advantages of low requirements for equipment and suitability for industrialization, but it is difficult to be control the nucleation rate and element diffusion, so the synthesized lithium manganese iron phosphate has poor uniformity and uneven morphology. The hydrothermal method or the solvothermal method comprises dissolving a manganese source, an iron source, a lithium source and a phosphorus source in a solvent, where the solvent used in the hydrothermal method is water and the solvent used in the solvothermal method is an organic solvent, adding the obtained mixed solution to a reactor, and stirring the mixture for a long time of reaction at about 200°C to produce lithium manganese iron phosphate. The product has the advantages such as small particle size, good dispersibility of manganese and iron, and uniform phase, while the disadvantages include high requirements for equipment and difficulty in achieving large-scale industrial production. In addition to direct preparation, indirect preparation from precursors is also a suitable method for preparing lithium manganese iron phosphate materials, mainly by precipitating the precursor of manganese and iron through liquid-phase method, then adding a lithium source and other supplementary materials, and sintering to obtain lithium manganese iron phosphate. At present, there are mainly two types of precursors, oxalic acid system and phosphoric acid system. In the iron manganese oxalate, manganese and iron are uniformly mixed, so that a positive electrode material of lithium manganese iron phosphate with good performance can he prepared. However, the disadvantage is that during sintering, a large amount of oxalate needs to be converted into CO2 to be released, and the generation of a large amount of gas may affect the performance of the material such as cycle and compaction, which is also inconsistent with the concept of renewable energy and environmental protection. The sintering process of the manganese iron phosphate precursor will not produce too much gas and is easier. However, it is difficult for preparation, mainly due to the disproportionation reaction of trivalent manganese, which makes it difficult to generate a precipitate of trivalent manganese phosphate similar to iron phosphate. In order to oxidize it to trivalent, it is usually necessary to use a nitric acid-ethanol system, or to add a strong oxidant for oxidization in a high temperature and high pressure environment, which causes extremely low efficiency and high energy consumption and pollution, and is difficult for industrial application. CNI I 4057177A discloses a method for producing manganese ferrous phosphate, comprising dissolving a divalent manganese salt and a divalent iron salt in water, and then adding a phosphorus source to obtain a precursor solution; and adding an alkali to the precursor solution for co-precipitation reaction, water-washing, filtering and drying to obtain
-
manganese ferrous phosphate, which contains ferrous phosphate precipitate and manganese iron phosphate precipitate. This method also provides a precursor of bivalent manganese and iron, which, nevertheless, has unfixed crystalline form and content of manganese and iron. In the Examples, it is found that different trace conditions had great influence on the crystalline form and content of manganese and iron, and there were many impurities, which cause great inconvenience to the element ratio of the subsequent reaction and industrial repeated preparation.
SUMMARY
[0004] The present disclosure aims to solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art. For this purpose, the present disclosure provides a hureaulite-type manganese iron phosphate and a preparation method and use thereof.
[0005] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a hureaulite-type manganese iron phosphate is provided, wherein the hureaulite-type manganese iron phosphate has a general chemical formula of (MnxFet-)5(PO4)2[1'03(011)]2-4H2O, 0.2<x<1, the hureaulite-type manganese iron phosphate belongs to the monoclinic system with a space lattice structure of C2/c(15) Z=4, where manganese and iron are divalent and are uniformly distributed in a unit cell at the atomic level, and the hureaulite-type manganese iron phosphate has morphology of a columnar structure with a particle-size distribution D50 of 8-100 urn.
[0006] In some preferred embodiments of the present disclosure, x is (15-0.7.
[0007] In some preferred embodiments of the present disclosure, the length-diameter ratio of the particles of the hureaulite-type manganese iron phosphate is (1-3):1.
[0008] The present disclosure also provides a method for producing the hureaulite-type manganese iron phosphate, comprising steps of: [0009] Si: adding a phosphorus source solution to a mixed metal solution containing a divalent manganese source and a divalent iron source to obtain a turbid solution, wherein the molar ratio of Mn to Fe in the mixed metal solution is x:( I -x); and [0010] S2: subjecting the turbid solution to reaction at 60-100°C, performing solid-liquid separation after the reaction to obtain a solid, and washing and drying the solid to obtain the -3 -hureaulite-type manganese iron phosphate.
[00111 It should be noted that the method requires certain heating conditions. If the temperature is low, it is difficult to crystallize to form a hureaulite crystal, and there are certain differences in the lower temperature limit for formation of this substance required by different phosphorus sources and alkalis. In addition, the finally obtained hureaulite-type manganese iron phosphate material may contain a small amount of incompletely grown particles, or there may be a small amount of two-columnar particles interspersed and combined together. These particles have no effect on the performance of the material, and the finished product basically exists as particles with a columnar structure.
[00121 In some embodiments of the present disclosure, in step 51, the molar ratio of phosphorus to manganese plus iron in the turbid solution is P:(Mn+Fe)=0.7-1.2. Preferably, the molar ratio of phosphorus to manganese plus iron in the turbid solution is P:(Mn+Fe)=0.8-1.0.
[00131 In some embodiments of the present disclosure, in step Si, the pH of the turbid solution is 3-7. Preferably, the pH of the turbid solution is 4-5. Further, step Si further comprises adding an alkaline solution to the mixed metal solution to adjust the pH. The alkali concentration in the reaction system should he moderate, because too low pH causes a low precipitation rate and too high alkali concentration or pH will generate impurities with ammonium or sodium ions. It should be noted that the alkaline solution should not be added in advance, it may be added at the same time as or after the addition of the phosphorus source, because the addition of the alkaline solution in advance will lead to a high pH in the early stage of the reaction to form impurities.
[00141 In some embodiments of the present disclosure, in step 51, the total concentration of Mn and Fe in the turbid solution is 0.3-1 mol/L.
[00151 In some embodiments of the present disclosure, in step Si, the divalent manganese source is selected from the group consisting of manganese sulfate, manganese nitrate, manganese acetate and a mixture thereof; and the divalent iron source is selected from the group consisting of ferrous sulfate, ferrous nitrate, ferrous chloride and a mixture thereof [00161 In some embodiments of the present disclosure, in step Si, the phosphorus source in the phosphorus source solution is selected from the group consisting of phosphoric acid, ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, diammonium hydrogen phosphate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, -4 -disodium hydrogen phosphate and a mixture thereof.
[0017] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, in step SI, the alkaline solution is selected from the group consisting of NaOH, ammonia water and a mixture thereof.
[0018] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, in step S2, the reaction is carried out for 0.5-8h.
[0019] The present disclosure also provides a lithium manganese iron phosphate, which is prepared with the hureaulite-type manganese iron phosphate.
[0020] The present disclosure also provides a method for producing the lithium manganese iron phosphate, comprising mixing the hureaulite-type manganese iron phosphate with a lithium source, a phosphorus source and a carbon source, and calcining in an inert atmosphere to obtain the lithium manganese iron phosphate. Wherein, the lithium source is added at a ratio of Li:(Mn+Fe)= I: I, and the phosphorus source is supplemented with an amount of 0.2 times the molar amount of Mn+Fe at a ratio of P:(Mn+Fe)= I: I. [0021] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the lithium source is selected from the group consisting of lithium hydroxide, lithium carbonate and a mixture thereof [0022] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the calcining is carried out at 600-750°C for 2-10 h. [0023] The present disclosure also provides use of the hureaulite-type manganese iron phosphate or the lithium manganese iron phosphate in the manufacture of a lithium-ion battery.
[0024] According to a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the present disclosure has at least the following beneficial effects: [0025] I. Hureaulite is a phosphate of more stable divalent manganese, which can be an ideal precursor of lithium manganese iron phosphate. For the first time, the present disclosure uses soluble divalent manganese source and divalent iron source for co-precipitation, and controls the manganese-iron-phosphorus ratio, pH and reaction temperature in a suitable range to prepare a hureaulite structure uniformly doped with manganese and iron, where manganese and iron can be mixed at the atomic level. The crystalline form of manganese iron phosphate is consistent with hureaulite Mn5(PO4)4P03(OH)124H20, has morphology of a hexagonal prism structure and is -5 -relatively pure and uniform. As the Fe content increases, it gradually transforms into a solid solution of manganese and iron, which will gradually make this special morphology less obvious. Therefore, it is necessary to control the manganese-iron ratio and the reaction temperature in a suitable range for crystallization to form the hureaulite crystalline form. The element content of the manganese iron phosphate of the present disclosure conforms highly to the theoretical value of the hureaulite crystalline form, and the content ratio is stable, which is suitable for industrial production.
[9026] 2. In the process of the present disclosure, the use of organic systems such as ethanol and the addition of oxidants such as nitrate and hydrogen peroxide are not required, the sintering process does not generate a large amount of CO2 and other gases to affect material properties, and the high-temperature and high-pressure reactor is not needed. The raw materials are simple and readily available, the process is easy to be controlled, and the requirements for equipment are low, which allows easy large-scale production.
[9027] 3. The hureaulite-type manganese iron phosphate prepared by the present disclosure can be used as the precursor of lithium manganese iron phosphate, and after the subsequent addition of a lithium source, carbon source and phosphorus source followed by calcination, a carbon-coated lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material is obtained, which exhibits high battery capacity, cycle performance and compaction density and is beneficial for the further practical use.

Sample No. Mn% Fe% P% Mn:Fe (Mn+Fe):P Example 1 22.38 15.11 16.86 60:40 1.25 Example 2 33.43 4.29 16.81 89:11 1.26 Example 3 29.33 8.16 16.89 79:21 1.25 Example 4 28.91 8.22 16.82 78:22 1.24 Example 5 22.45 15.56 16.74 59:41 1.27 Example 6 7.35 30.32 16.88 20:80 1.24 Comparative Example I 12.52 8.27 7.59 61:39 1.53 [0080] As can be seen from Table 1, the manganese-iron ratio of the manganese iron phosphate in each example was close to the addition amount, stable and easy to be controlled, and (Mn+Fe):P also conformed highly to the theoretical value of the crystalline form, 5:4. However, in Comparative Example 1, the main element content and (Mn+Fe):P were significantly different, which was due to the failure to form a hureaulite structure at low temperature, but to form products such as manganous iron phosphate, manganous phosphate, and amorphous manganese iron phosphate, with a ratio closer to 1.5, a high content of crystal water and a low content of main elements.
[0081] It can be seen from FIG. I that each example conforms highly to the hureaulite standard 10 card PDF#34-0146, which demonstrates that the products are correct and have a high degree of crystallinity. Compared with Example I, the temperature of the reaction was lowered in Comparative Example 1, and it can be seen that this crystalline form was not formed.
[0082] FIG. 2 is SEM images of the hureaulite-type manganese iron phosphate obtained in Example I under different magnifications, where the left panel shows an SEM image of a larger magnification, and the right panel shows an SEM image of a smaller magnification. It can be seen from FIG. 2 that this crystalline form has an appearance of hexagonal prism structure, a relatively complete and regular morphology, and a length-diameter ratio of around 2. In addition, there are a small number of particles of other structures in the figure, which are not fully grown particles, but do not affect the material properties.
[0083] FIG. 3 shows that the final obtained lithium manganese iron phosphate conforms highly to the lithium manganese phosphate standard card, and has a high degree of crystallinity.
Test Example
[0084] The lithium manganese iron phosphate obtained in Example 5 was prepared into a battery according to the following method. The prepared lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material, acetylene black and polyvinylidene fluoride were dissolved in N-methylpyrrolidone at a weight ratio of 80:10:10, and the slurry obtained after evenly stirring was coated on an aluminum foil and baked to obtain a positive electrode sheet. With a lithium sheet as the negative electrode, a button battery was assembled in an argon-filled glove box and tested for charge-discharge capacity, cycle and the like. The results are shown in Table 2.

In addition to good specific capacity, it also had high compaction density and cycle efficiency, which was attributed to its good mixing of manganese and iron at the atomic level and ability to inhibit the lattice distortion produced by manganese in the redox process, which is beneficial to the stability and improvement of performance.
[00861 FIG. 4 shows the 0.1C charge-discharge curve of the finally obtained lithium manganese iron phosphate in Example 5, and the two voltage platforms of the curve correspond to the redox potentials of manganese and iron, respectively. The specific capacity at 0.1C can reach 154 mAh/g, which is comparable to the performance of the lithium manganese iron phosphate prepared by other current methods.
