Description

METHOD FOR PREPARING LITHIUM FERROMANGANESE PHOSPHATE CATHODE MATERIAL BY SPRAY BURNING AND USE THEREOF
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention belongs to the technical field of lithium battery cathode materials, and particularly relates to a method for preparing a lithium ferromanganese phosphate cathode material by spray burning and a use thereof
BACKGROUND
Compared with a ternary battery, a lithium iron phosphate battery has the advantages of higher safety and lower cost and the advantages of good thermal stability, long cycle life, environmental friendliness and abundant raw material resources, and is the most potential cathode material for power lithium ion battery at present, thus being favored by more automobile manufacturers, with a continuously increased market share.
However, a LiFePO4 material reduces an overall energy density of the battery due to a lower lithium deintercalation potential platform (about 3.4 V), thus limiting the development thereof in electric vehicles. However, a working voltage of LiMnPO4 for Li is 4.1 V, and if LiMnPO4 can acquire a specific capacity equivalent to that of LiFePO4, it means that the energy density will be 35% higher than that of LiFePO4. Meanwhile, low raw material cost and environmental friendliness are also the advantages of LiMnPO4. However, LiMnPO4 has very low conductivity, almost belonging to an insulator, and the conductivity is only one thousandth of that of LiFePO4. Meanwhile, there may be a Jahn-Teller effect during an oxidation-reduction reaction, leading to a poor rate performance and a low discharge specific capacity of materials.
It can be seen from current research situations that LiMnsFe(1,0PO4 cathode material contains a high energy density, which can compensate for the deficiency of LiFePO4 cathode material in this respect, and improve the problems of low rate and discharge specific capacity of LiMnPO4 cathode material at the same time, thus increasing the possibility of changing a phosphoric acid cathode material into a power lithium-ion battery material.
There are many methods for synthesizing lithium ferromanganese phosphate. At present, LiMn"Fec_")1304 material is prepared by a single high-temperature solid-phase method. However, according to this method, it is difficult to accurately control a ratio of iron to manganese when preparing a precursor, and it is difficult for transition metals to be evenly distributed in a main structure of the material, which may lead to a serious Jahn-Teller effect of Mn3+, thus affecting the cycle and rate performance of the battery. Employing a coprecipitation reaction with a phosphate and a ferrous salt, a manganese salt and an oxidant have the following problems: since an iron phosphate precipitate has a low pH value while a manganese phosphate precipitate has a high pH value, the ferrous salt will react with the oxidant to obtain iron hydroxide at a higher pH value, resulting in high content of ferric hydroxide, low purity of lithium ferromanganese phosphate, and low phosphorus content is.
Therefore, it is necessary to find a method for preparing a lithium ferromanganese phosphate cathode material with high capacity and high cycle performance, which can not only make iron and manganese be evenly mixed at an atomic level, but also make a ratio of phosphorus to iron and manganese reach a theoretical value.

1.

The reaction equation is as follows: spray burning reaction (taking ferric acetate, manganous acetate and triethyl phosphate for
example):

2. Because the precipitation environments of iron phosphate and manganese phosphate are different, it is difficult to achieve coprecipitation. In the process of spray burning according to the present invention, firstly, the phosphorus source, manganese source and iron source are mixed and dissolved in the organic solvent to avoid the generation of ferromanganese phosphate precipitate, and then corresponding ferromanganese phosphate and manganese pyrophosphate are obtained through spray burning reaction. On the one hand, the mixing of iron and manganese is more uniform, which is beneficial to the subsequent preparation of the lithium ferromanganese phosphate to improve the specific capacity and cycle performance of the material. On the other hand, (Fe + P = 1: 1 is ensured, which ensures sufficient phosphorus content for the next step of synthesizing the lithium ferromanganese phosphate and avoids the problem of supplementing the phosphorus source.

Test Example
The lithium ferromanganese phosphate obtained in the examples and comparative examples as a cathode materials, acetylene black as a conductive agent and PVDF as an adhesive were mixed according to a mass ratio of 8: 1: 1, and added with a certain amount of organic solvent NMP, and the mixture was stirred and then coated on an aluminum foil to prepare a positive plate. In this process, it was found that a slurry prepared from the lithium ferromanganese phosphate cathode materials obtained in the comparative examples was mostly jelly-like and difficult to coat. It was speculated that there was too much residual lithium, so that it was difficult to further sinter manganese pyrophosphate and the lithium source to prepare the lithium ferromanganese phosphate cathode material. Contents of residual lithium in the examples and comparative examples were detected. Results were shown in Table L A2023 button cell comprising the above positive plate, a negative electrode made of a lithium metal plate, a diaphragm made of Celgard2400 polypropylene porous membrane, an electrolyte comprising a solvent consisting of EC, DMC and EMC in a mass ratio of L 1: 1 and a solute of LiPF6 with a concentration of 1.0 mol/L was assembled in a glove box. A charge-discharge cycle performance of the battery was tested, and specific discharge capacities at 0.1 C and 1 C were tested in a cut-off voltage range of 2.2 V to 4.3 V. Results of the electrochemical performance test were shown in Table 1.

It could be seen from Table 1 that the specific capac'ties of the comparative examples were all very low, because manganese pyrophosphate was not subjected to the hydrothermal reaction and was not successfully converted into lithium manganese phosphate by spray drying with the lithium source, so that qualified lithium ferromanganese phosphate could not be prepared.
