Description
METHOD FOR PREPARING HIGH-NICKEL CATHODE MATERIAL FOR LUS04854
LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES AND HIGH-NICKEL CATHODE MATERIAL FOR
LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES PREPARED THEREFROM
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of cathode materials for lithium- ion batteries, and specifically discloses a method for preparing a high-nickel cathode material for lithium-ion batteries and the high-nickel cathode material for lithium-ion batteries prepared therefrom.
[0002] In recent years, with the high-speed development of the new energy automobile industry, demands for lithium-ion batteries grow rapidly. People’s demand for driving ranges of new energy automobiles has been on the rise. As the quantity demanded for high-energy- density lithium-ion batteries grows rapidly, a demand for high-nickel cathode materials grows at a high speed. A high-nickel ternary material has a characteristic of high capacity and also has certain disadvantages. Because of a higher nickel content, incomplete oxidation of bivalent nickel leads to serious Li'*/Ni** mixing, and lithium ions cannot migrate into structures so that a surface residual lithium content is higher and impacts material capacities.
[0003] At present, a preparation process of a high-nickel ternary cathode material is mainly a secondary sintering process, which comprises the following concrete flows: evenly mixing a precursor, a lithium salt and an additive, conducting primary high-temperature sintering in a kiln, crushing mixed materials, and conducting washing, drying, surface coating and secondary sintering. According to the method, residual lithium on material surfaces is removed mainly through washing. However, in the washing process, along with the removal of residual alkali, the migration of lithium ions inside the structures towards material surfaces leads to poor internal stability of the structures. A secondary sintering process means low-temperature sintering after boric acid coating. Although a pH value of materials can be controlled to be about 11.6. However, a specific surface area of the materials is generally more than 0.5 m”/g. This leads to a severe side reaction between the materials and an electrolyte, which has a strong impact on cycle performance of the materials. Moreover, manufacturing flows by the method are long, initial equipment investment is large, and manufacturing costs are very high. LU504854
[0004] The Chinese patent application document with the publication number
CN114933335A discloses a high-nickel ternary cathode material and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: Step 1, preparation of a precursor; Step 2, preparation of an oxidizing solution: weighing an oxidizing agent, dissolving the oxidizing agent into deionized water, and adding a water-soluble alkaline substance; Step 3, preparation of a modified precursor; and Step 4, mixing a lithium source with the modified precursor to prepare a cathode material. A corresponding cathode material and a lithium battery are also provided. A layer of intermediate product is formed on a surface layer of the precursor by adopting a pre-oxidation method to eliminate defects of crystals on an NCA surface layer, thereby remarkably improving stability and rate capabilities of batteries in a cycle process. But the patent does not involve a problem removing residual lithium on material surfaces.
[0005] The technical problem that the present application is to solve is how to solve the problems of a high residual lithium content, a high pH value and a large specific surface area of an existing high-nickel cathode material.
[0006] The present application solves the technical problem by the following technological means:
[0007] a method for preparing a high-nickel cathode material for lithium-ion batteries, comprising the following steps:
[0008] (1) mixing a high-nickel ternary cathode material precursor, a lithium salt, a phosphorus-containing additive and a metal oxide additive, wherein a molar ratio of lithium in the lithium salt to nickel, cobalt and manganese in the high-nickel ternary cathode material precursor is 1.00-1.10; an added amount of the phosphorus-containing additive accounts for 0.1-1.5wt% of a mass of the high-nickel ternary cathode material precursor; an added amount of the metal oxide additive accounts for 0.1-0.5wt% of a mass of the high-nickel ternary cathode material precursor;
[0009] (2) loading materials mixed in Step (1) into a saggar, placing the saggar into a high- temperature and high-pressure device to conduct sintering, and after sintering, conducting natural cooling; and
[0010] (3) grinding and sieving materials cooled in Step (2) to obtain the high-nickel cathode material for lithium-ion batteries.

[0137] Table one is shown below:
Residual pH value Specific surface lithium area
Embodiment | 960 | ns | 016
TABLE 1
[0138] According to data in Table 1:
[0139] it can be seen by comparing schemes 1/2/3 that when particle sizes of precursors are different, after treatment by adopting the same technical solution, the bigger the particle size is, the lower the specific surface area of materials is, the higher the residual lithium content is, maybe when the particle size is too big, migration of lithium ions into the structures is difficult to cause relatively high surface residues, and that the pH value has no significant change is possibly caused by more residual lithium phosphate on the material surfaces;
[0140] it can be seen by comparing schemes 2/4/5 that when the lithium proportion differs, LU504854 residual lithium increases with the improvement of proportion coefficients, but the pH value and the specific surface area have no significant changes:
[0141] it can be seen by comparing schemes 2/6/7 that when the low-temperature sintering temperature differs, residual lithium and the pH value decrease firstly and then increase with the rising of the sintering temperature, and it may be mainly because bivalent nickel is mostly likely to be oxidized into trivalent nickel at the temperature, which is better for lithium ions to migrate into the structures;
[0142] it can be seen by comparing schemes 2/8/9 that when the nickel content differs, residual lithium and pH value increase with an increase in the nickel content, it may be mainly because shells are thin and the nickel content is high, it is hard to oxidize bivalent nickel into trivalent nickel, and this is not beneficial to lithium ions to migrate into the structures;
[0143] it can be seen by comparing schemes 2/10/11 that an increase in the usage amount of lithium hydroxide in the proportioning process has no obvious effect on residual lithium and the pH value:
[0144] it can be seen by comparing schemes 2/12/13 that during low-temperature sintering, residue alkali decreases with pressure application, it may be because increasing pressure is beneficial to oxidize bivalent nickel into trivalent nickel and better for lithium ions to migrate into the structures.
