氟化硫酸铁盐化合物、 制备方法及用途
技术领域 本发明涉及材料技术, 尤其涉及一种具有单斜晶系的氟化硫酸铁盐化合 物、 制备方法及用途。
背景技术
含有聚阴离子的过渡金属化合物(聚阴离子表示为 (XOy广, X=S、 P、 As、 Mo、 W、 B、 Si、 Ge等; y=3或 4; Z=2或 3 )是一种主要用于二次锂电池的 正极活性材料。 其具有原材料价格低廉、 储藏丰富、 对环境无污染、 化学性 质稳定、 安全可靠、 储锂容量较高和电压较高等优点。 但是目前这类材料还 存在离子电导率和电子电导率低的缺点, 目前常通过减小颗粒尺寸, 碳包覆 等方法已经可以较好的解决低电导对材料性能的影响, 但仍无法满足二次锂 离子电池工作的需要。
聚阴离子化合物中 X-0键的存在有着非常重要的作用。 除了稳定材料结 构外, 它还可以通过 X-0键的诱导效应提高过渡金属的氧化还原电对电压, 目前普遍接受的观点是, 聚阴离子的诱导作用提高了过渡金属电对的氧化还 原电位。典型的例子是橄榄石结构的 LiFeP04,磷酸根的诱导作用将 Fe2+/Fe3+ 电对的电压提高到 3.45V, 使其可以用作锂离子电池正极材料。 此后人们希 望通过引入电负性更强的原子或基团, 比如比氧元素电负性强的氟元素以及 比磷酸根电负性强的硫酸根, 来进一步提高材料的电位平台。
比如 LiFeP04中 Fe3+/Fe2+的电压 3.45V明显高于一般铁氧化物的 2V。 由 于 S元素的电负性强于 P元素的电负性, 即 S-0键的诱导效应强于 P-0键, 所以在含有相同的氧化还原电对时,硫酸盐化合物的电压高于磷酸盐化合物。 在含锂的过渡金属硫酸盐化合物中, 出于总价态为零的考虑, 需要在正一价 的锂离子, 正二价的过渡金属离子和负二价的硫酸盐离子外, 再加入一个负 一价的离子来维持电荷平衡。 在众多的候选者中, F 元素最为理想, 它的原 子质量小, 有利于维持化合物的高容量, 电负性很强, 有利于提高材料的电 压。 即氟化硫酸盐容量高, 电负性强, 材料电压较高。
公布号为: WO2009FR52040,发明名称: Fluorosulfates useflil as electrode materials的国际申请, 公开了一种三斜晶系 Tavorite结构的氟化硫酸盐, 氟 化硫酸铁锂具有电化学活性, 同样是二价 /三价铁的氧化还原电对, 电压并没 有因为引入电负性较强的硫酸根与氟离子而得到多少提升,其 3.6V的电压平 台仅比磷酸铁锂高 0.15V, 再加上理论容量本就低于磷酸铁锂, 导致其能量 密度上并不占优势。 这说明仅仅通过引入电负性强的离子 /基团, 并不足以使 得材料的嵌锂电压得到提高, 只有相同结构下该规律才能起作用(参照 Tavorite 结构的 LiFeP04F要比同样是 Tavorite 结构的 LiFeP04OH 电压高 0.7V)。 因此, 要提高正极材料的电位平台, 更重要的是寻找具有更高嵌锂电 压的晶体结构的材料。此外三斜晶系的氟化硫酸盐结构稳定性也不是很理想, 并且脱锂前后晶胞体积变化艮大, 导致其循环寿命较短。 加之这种三斜晶系 氟化硫酸盐的其制备方法需釆用昂贵的离子液体, 且制备过程复杂繁瑣, 不 易于大规模生产, 严重限制了其在二次锂电池领域中的应用。 发明内容

本发明一个方面提供了一种氟化硫酸铁盐化合物, 该化合物用以下通式
( I )表示:
(LixFeyM1-x-y)2S04F ( I ), 该通式中,
M为元素 Na、 K:、 Ca、 Mg、 Ti、 V、 Cr、 Cu、 Mn、 Co、 Ni、 Zn、 Ga、
In、 Ge、 Ag、 Nb、 Sn、 Ta、 Al、 Zr和 W中的一种或多种;
x=0.25 ~ 0.75, y=0.25 ~ 0.75;
x+y<l;
该化合物为单斜晶系, 且 Li与 Fe是混合阳离子占位。
Li与 Fe是混合阳离子占位, 即 Li与 Fe可占据彼此在晶格中的位置, 两 者可以实现完全的互换位。 为表示 Li 与 Fe 互占位关系, 这里釆用了通式 (LixFeyM1-x-y)2S04F的形式, 其也可表示为 (LixFeyM1-x-y) (FeyLixM1-x-y)S04F0 研究证明, 本发明提供的氟化硫酸铁盐, 由于其特定的晶体结构, 具有 更优良的电化学性质。 该化合物中, M为掺杂元素, 所述掺杂元素的添加可 有效提高化合物的电导率。 M优选为元素 Na、 K:、 Ca、 Mg、 Cr、 Mn、 V、 Co、 Ni、 Zn和 Al中的一种或多种。 以上通式所示, M在上述化合物中的比 例,即 1-x-y,可在 0 ~ 0.5范围,如 0 ~ 0.2或 0 ~ 0.1。例如 Mn范围可为 0.02-0.2; Na范围可为 0.01-0.05; Mg范围可为 0.03-0.10; Zr范围可为 0.03-0.07; Cr 范围可为 0.01-0.10。 本领域技术人员可以理解, 现有锂电池正极材料中使用 的其他掺杂元素均可作为该化合物的掺杂元素。
前躯体中 Li与 Fe的含量: 所述通式化合物中, x=0.25 ~ 0.75, y=0.25 ~
0.75; 优选的 x=0.45 ~ 0.55, y=0.45 ~ 0.55。 分别对应 r (其中 r=Li /Fe ) =0.8、
1、 1.2、 1.5、 2的前躯体进行了 XRD检测如图 11所示, 随着 r值的增加, 可 以看出:
1、 LiF的衍射峰强在增加: 在 r = 0.8, r = 1.0和 r = 1.2的样品中完全看 不到 LiF的衍射峰, 而在 r = 1.5的样品中开始出现了 LiF的衍射峰, 在 r = 2 的样品中 LiF的衍射峰进一步增强;
2、 杂质峰的减弱和消失: 在 r = 0.8的样品中, 即 Fe离子过量 25%的情 况下, 除了 LiFeS04F的衍射峰, 还存在着过量 FeS04.¾0失水形成的 FeS04 衍射峰, 以及其它几个主要的杂质峰, 分别位于 16.0。、 26.1。、 30.3。、 32.3。, 这几个杂质峰也恰好出现在其它 r值样品中, 只是强度随着前驱体中 Li比例 的增加而减弱, 至 r = 1.5样品中 艮难辨识, 在 r = 2.0样品中则已经消失, 在 现有的卡片库中将元素限制为 Li, Fe, S , O, F , H, 据此判断有可能是在缺 少 Li的情况下 FeS04.H20形成的一种新相。
图 12为不同 r值的 (LixFey)2S04F化合物的恒流首周充放电曲线, 对比不 同 r值 (即前驱体中 Li离子和 Fe离子的摩尔比值)前驱体所得样品的性能, 以 r=l 和 r=2 为例, 以 0.05C 的倍率来进行恒流充放电, r=l 的样品首周有 63mAh/g的放电容量, 而 r=2的样品仅有 39mAh/g的放电容量。
虽然前驱体中 Li含量的升高有利于减少终产物中的杂相,但是也相应地 减少了材料的放电容量, 这是由于 Li是没有电化学活性的, 残余的 Li抵消 了氟化硫酸铁盐化合物转化率提高贡献的放电容量, 而且 Li的存在阻碍了电 子和离子的传导, 也使得极化变大, 还可能发生的是部分铁被氧化为三价铁 以保持电荷平衡, 因此减少容量。 进一步地, 对本发明的氟化硫酸铁盐化合物进行 X射线 (CuKa)晶体粉末 衍射, 该化合物晶体结构如下: 衍射峰在 2Θ为 24.5。 - 26.8。, 27.2。 - 28.5。, 29.1。 ~ 30.6。, 31.7。 ~ 32.8。呈现出四个特征衍射峰。 衍射峰在 2Θ 为 29.1。 ~
30.6。的衍射峰是最强峰。 所述氟化硫酸铁盐化合物的 X射线衍射峰位置随晶 胞大小呈现系统性偏移, 但相对趋势不变。
进一步地, 该化合物为: ( LixFe1-x ) 2S04F。 优选的该化合物为: (Li0.5Fe0.5)2SO4F ( LiFeS04F )。 (Li0.5Fea5)2SO4F的衍射峰在 2Θ为 26.2。、 27.8。、
29.7。、 31.5。出现四个特征衍射峰。 (Li0.5Fe0.5)2SO4F的晶胞为 a ( A ) =13.04(4); b ( A ) =6.39(2); c ( A ) = 9.85(3); α=γ=90°; β=119.77 (0)°; Volume (A3)= 734.50(43) 。
进一步地, 本发明的氟化硫酸铁盐化合物, 在作为电池正极材料使用时 其脱锂前后的晶胞体积变化小于 5%。 如(Li e^ ) 2S04F或由其构成的电极 材料在脱锂前后的晶胞体积变化小于 5%。 优选小于 4%。
表 1 不同材料脱锂前后的晶胞体积变化
Figure imgf000010_0001
比较 LiFeP04,三斜相 LiFeS04F和单斜相 (LiQ.5FeQ.5)2S04F的体积变化,如 表 1可见 (Li。.5Fe。.5)2S04F锂离子脱出和嵌入前后晶胞体积变化小于 4%,较碑 酸铁锂和三斜晶系氟化硫酸盐材料小, 电池充放电循环中电极结构稳定, 循 环寿命长。
图 9为不同充放电态的 (Li。.5Fe。.5)2S04F的 XRD图谱,从不同充放电阶段 的 XRD衍射峰 (这里主要用到了四个主峰)可以看出, 该化合物在充放电过程 中的体积变化非常小, 峰位基本没有偏移。 这是由于该化合物的互占位性质, 骨架更加不容易改变。
可选的 , 其中通式( I )化合物中的 Fe还可以被 Co, Mn, Ni或 V中的 一个或多个取代, 使得其中不再含 Fe。 本发明的另一方面还提供了一种通式(I ) 氟化硫酸铁盐化合物的制备方 法。 所述氟化硫酸铁盐化合物的制备方法, 包括如下步骤:
1 ) 、 按照通式中各元素的摩尔比称取 Li 源、 Fe 源、 氟源、 S04 2- 源和 M源, 混合并研磨得到前躯体粉末;
2 ) 、 将前驱体粉末热压烧结, 得到所述氟化硫酸铁盐化合物, 在 烧结过程中向所述前驱体粉末施加大于大气压的机械压力, 优选为 大于或等于 0.5MPa的压力。
可选地, 前躯体粉末热压烧结前, 先置于惰性气氛或含有还原气体的 惰性气氛中预烧 0.5 ~ 10小时, 所述预烧温度为 100 ~ 300°C。 预烧的作用 主要是去除前躯体粉末中的水分以将其干燥。 前躯体粉末预烧时置于惰性 气氛或含有还原气体的惰性气氛中是用于防止前躯体粉末 (如其中的 Fe ) 被氧化。 所述惰性气体可为氩气或氮气, 所述还原性气体可为氢气或一氧 化碳。 所述预烧升温速度没有特殊限制, 但通常釆用的升温速度为每小时 50 ~ 200°C。 也可以将研磨得到的前躯体粉末直接热压烧结, 而不对前躯 体粉末进行预烧, 也不对其进行其他干燥处理。
前躯体粉末粒度: 实验表明所述前躯体粉末的粒度对最终产物有重要 影响。 前躯体粉末的粒径的大小决定了原料颗粒的比表面积, 以及几种原 料颗粒之间接触的紧密程度, 因而影响上述热压烧结固相反应过程。 前躯 体粉末颗粒过大直接导致原料颗粒无法充分接触, 反应进行的不完全; 颗 粒较小则原料颗粒之间可充分接触, 增进了反应过程, 使反应更加完全, 进而提高了产物纯度。 在本发明的制备方法中, 所述前驱体粉末的粒度一 般应为 D50小于 500 nm, 优选的为小于 300 nm, 如 10 ~ 200 nm, 在一些 实施例中为 10 ~ 50 nm。 可以釆用任何已知研磨方法得到大小合适的前躯 体粉末, 只要在研磨过程中防止将前驱体粉末氧化或其他不利影响, 并达 到所需粒度即可。 例如可以釆用球磨机(如具有冷却功能的 Union Process 01-HD型高能球磨机或 Retsch PM100型高能球磨机) 、 手工研磨等方式 进行混料及研磨。对研磨时间没有特别的限制,只要能达到所需粒度即可。 通常所述研磨时间为 0.5 ~ 12h。 当研磨釆用球磨机时, 球磨介质的粒径可 为 0.1mm ~ 10mm, 或为 1 ~ 10mm, 以满足前躯体粉末的粒径的需求。
前躯体混合: 混合方式没有具体限制, 以使前躯体材料达到充分接触为 标准, 例如, 可釆用如下方式混合前驱体:
维持混合体系在常温或较低温的条件下(通过适当的冷却措施), 在湿法 介质中实施球磨搅拌混合前躯体, 提供粒度尽可能细的前躯体粉末。 在本发 明的具体实施方案中, 样品 LFSF#1釆用 Union Process 01 -HD型高能球磨机 来进行混料, 其特点是釆用湿法介质搅拌磨来粉碎和混合物料, 转速快、 能 量高, 能在其球磨罐的内外胆之间通入冷却用的循环水, 以避免或减緩在球 磨的过程中物料的温度升高, 可以用于在常温下制备超细的粉体。 在如下实 施例中研磨过程为: 称取摩尔比为 1 : 1的 FeS04'7H20和 LiF进行简单混合, 将总共 50ml的混合物和 250ml的氧化锆磨介球按顺序加入到容量为 500ml 的氧化掊内胆的球磨罐中, 安装到 Union Process球磨机上, 加入球磨媒介乙 醇约 100ml, 在球磨罐夹套中通入冷却水, 以 3500rpm的转速进行球磨, 球 磨 2.5小时后, 补充部分球磨媒介, 再以同样转速球磨 2.5小时, 将所得浆料 取出, 在空气中自然晾干, 将所得干料用 200 目的的标准筛筛掉磨介球, 得 到前驱体粉体 LFSF#1 ;
样品 LFSF#2釆用 Retsch PM100型高能球磨机来混合前驱体, 其釆用行 星式球磨, 转速较高可达 600rpm , 并且可以在球磨之前通入保护气体避免球 磨过程中温度较高导致物料与空气反应。 具体流程为: 称取摩尔比为 1 : 1 的 FeS04-7H20和 LiF进行简单混合,将 15g的混合物和不锈钢磨介球 (0l Ommx 10 颗 +04mmx3O颗)加入到容量为 100ml的不锈钢球磨罐中, 加入球磨媒介乙醇 20ml, 将盖子密封, 利用其进出气口通入高纯 Ar气换气, 称量质量后安装到 Retsch PM100球磨机上, 调好配重, 按设定球磨程序进行球磨 (转速 600rpm, 球磨时间 12 小时, 每球磨半小时, 停止半小时来防止球磨罐子过热), 待球 磨罐子冷却后, 将浆料倒出, 用真空烘箱在 50°C烘 12小时, 手工研细即得 前驱体粉末 LFSF#2;
样品 LFSF#3釆用手工磨料的方式来粉碎和混合, 将总计约 10g的摩尔 比为 1 :1的 FeS04'7H20和 LiF的混合物置于研钵中 , 手持研杵按顺时针方向 研磨 3个小时, 既得前驱体 LFSF#3;
样品 LFSF#4与第二个样品混合方式类似, 不同的是所用球磨机为天津 晟源电器设备有限公司生产的 WL-IA型微粒球磨机。釆用容量为 200ml的玛 瑙球磨罐, 磨介球为玛瑙磨介球 (0lOmmx lO颗 +06mmx2O颗), 总计约 15g的 摩尔比为 1:1的 FeS04.7H20和 LiF的混合物置于球磨罐中 ,将转速为 200rpm, 球磨 5个小时, 既得前驱体粉末 LFSF#4。
前驱体粉末 LFSF#1、 LFSF#2、 LFSF#3、 LFSF#4的 XRD表征图谱如图
13-1和 13-2所示: 由图可见前三种方法得到的前驱体具有相同的相, 可以指 认为 FeS04'¾0(JCPDS No.83-2092)和 LiF(JCPDS No.78-1217)的混合物, 其 中 LFSF#1的衍射峰明显强度较弱并且宽化, 说明用 Union Process 01 -HD制 备的前驱体晶粒较小; 而用手磨的 LFSF#3衍射峰强, 半高宽小, 晶粒较大; 用 Retsch PM100混合的前驱体 LFSF#2的峰强处于两者之间 , 但是前驱体球 磨后呈桔红色, 显示有三价铁的存在; 用国产球磨机混合的 LFSF#4与以上 三者不同, 可以将其指认为 FeS044H20(JCPDS No.76-0655)和 LiF(JCPDS No.78-1217)的混合物。
通过样品的 SEM照片也可以看出, LFSF#1的颗粒尺寸最小, 呈絮状团 聚在一起; LFSF#2, LFSF#3的颗粒尺寸变的不均一, 并且依次变大; LFSF#4 的颗粒较大, 且有清晰的棱角, 显示其为重吸水结晶后的产物, 这也支持了 前面的结论。
通过上述实验及分析, 得到以下结论及解释:
1、 不同的研磨方式决定了前躯体的颗粒和晶粒的大小, 而颗粒大小决定 了前驱体接触的紧密程度, 进而对反应的进行有很大影响。
2、 研磨过的前驱体的组分发生变化, 原因在于 FeS04.7H20中的结晶水 结合紧密程度不同, 其中前六个结晶水较易失去, 其脱水的活化能 ^艮低, 这 也是 FeS04.7H20在干燥空气中会失水风化的原因。 即如下变化
FeS04-7H20→ FeS04-H20 + 6H20
对前驱体进行研磨的时候, 对于 Union Process球磨机, 由于其转速快、 能量高, 加上无水乙醇做球磨媒介有较强的吸水性, 更易于 LFSF#1 样品中 结晶水脱出;即使是用研钵手磨,由于空气流动使得水部分挥发,所得 LFSF#3 样品中的 6个结晶水会自行脱离, 最终得到 FeS04.¾0; 需要特别指出的是, 在国产球磨罐中得到的 LFSF#4样品为 FeS044H20,这是由于球磨罐密封后, 水分无法溢出, FeS04.¾0在冷却的过程中重新吸水结晶为 FeS044H20, 即 如下过程
FeS04-7H20→ FeS04-H20 + 6H20→ FeS04-4H20 + 3H20
其衍射峰与 LiF的衍射峰的峰强比明显比另外三个样品更高, 也说明了 这个重结晶过程; 而对于 Retsch PM100处理过的 LSFS #2样品, 则由于填充 率较低使得蒸汽压较小, 球磨能量较高, 最终也能得到 FeS04.H20, 但是从 XRD的结果上看, 混料方法与晶粒尺寸存在如下关系:
LSFS#3(手磨;) > LSFS#2(Retsch PM100) > LSFS#1 (Union Process) 3、 Retsch PMlOO处理的 LSFS#2样品呈桔红色, 显示有三价铁的存在, 这说明在高能球磨的过程中, 由于碰撞能量较高, 在撞击瞬间的局部温度也 较高,使得 FeS04.7H20部分地分解,释放出的氧气会导致 Fe2+被氧化到三价 而显桔红色, 方程式如下:
2FeS04→Fe203 + S02 + S03
Fe203无法从 XRD谱图上指认出来, 说明该杂相量较少或结晶不好, 将 前驱体热处理至 600 °C , 所得分解产物中亦含有 Fe203
前驱体的热分析:对 LSFS#1和 LSFS#3两种前驱体进行 TG-DSC-MS 分析。 该 TG-DSC测试将样品在高纯 Ar气中进行 , 以 10 °C /min的升温速 度进行测试, 同时可以检测样品质量变化,吸热放热和所产生气体的质谱, 如图 10为不同粒度前驱体粉末的 TG-DSC-MS分析: 其中 LFSF#1前躯体 粉末 D50小于 200 nm; 其中 LFSF#3前躯体粉末 D50为 600ηηι-50μηι。 如 图 10 可见前躯体粉末的粒度直接影响了反应速度, 较小的前躯体粉末 ( D50小于 200 nm )相比较大的前躯体粉末 ( D50为 600ηηι-50μηι )反应 速度快。
TG-DSC测试还表明前躯体粉末在 280°C有明显的吸热峰和失重, 是 失结晶水造成的; 在 420 ~ 450°C出现明显的吸热峰和失重, 是 S04 2-的分 解, 导致 S02 ( m/z=64 ) 逸出。 所以本发明适宜的热压烧结温度为 300 ~ 450 °C , 优选的为 360 ~ 420 °C , 更优选的为 370 ~ 390°C; 对升温速度没有 特殊限制, 但通常釆用的升温速度为每小时 50 ~ 200°C ; 所述热压烧结的 时间可视不同反应物而定, 通常热压时间较短, 0.1 ~ 2 小时 (例如 0.1 ~ 0.5 小时) 即可反应充分。 在热压烧结时, 可以一次性升温至所需烧结温 度, 也可以釆用阶梯升温的方式。 本文中热压烧结时间是指达到预定烧结 温度后, 在该预定温度下烧结的时间。
热压烧结: 热压烧结步骤可在热压炉中进行, 图 14为本发明一个实 施方案中使用的热压炉结构示意图。 所述热压炉有密封的加热腔 1 , 加热 腔 1 内设置有加热装置 2和热压模具 3 , 所述加热装置 2可选用电加热部 件。 热压模具 3与压力装置 4相连, 该压力装置 4可以是液压装置或其他 常用压力装置, 其向热压模具 3施加压力。 热压模具 3具有模腔 5 , 用于 盛放前躯体粉末。 热压模具 3有一个可移动的活塞与压力装置 4相连。 因 此当受到来自压力装置 4的压力时, 该热压模具 3的活塞将压力传到盛放 在模腔 5中的前躯体粉末。 操作时将未经预烧或将预烧后的前躯体粉末置 于热压模具 3中。 为了可保证热压烧结的受热均匀, 优选导热性好且对前 躯体粉末呈惰性的材料作为热压模具。 例如可使用石墨模具或金属模具 (如: 不锈钢模具、 铝合金模具) , 或本领域常用的其他热压模具。 然后 将热压模具 3放置在密封的加热腔 1中, 所述热压模具 3的模腔内部与加 热腔 1气体相通。 将密封加热腔 1充入惰性气氛或抽真空至 10 ~ 10-3pa, 可有效防止低价金属离子被氧化(如 Fe2+被氧化) 。 通过压力装置 4向热 压模具 3施加压力, 使得该热压模具 3的活塞向前躯体粉末施加的压力为 0.5 - 100 MPa, 或 2 ~ 50 MPa, 或 5 ~ 20 MPa, 加以适当的压力可防止或 减少 so4 2_分解, 有利于提高反应物的纯度, 同时提高化学反应速度。
可选的,在热压烧结时,密封的加热腔 1内的气体压力也可以是常压, 低压, 或高压, 并充有惰性气体。
可选的, 可不不对前躯体粉末施加上述机械压力就, 而直接在高压惰 性气体中进行热压烧结。惰性气体的压力可在 0.5 ~ 50 MPa,或 2 ~ 20 MPa, 或 5 ~ 10 MPa。
本发明釆用的热压炉优选为真空热压炉, 如上海晨华电炉有限公司搭建 的 ZT-20-15Y型真空热压炉, 其进行固相反应的最大压力为 5吨, 额定温度 为 1500 °C , 热态极限真空度为 6.67χ10·2 Pa, 这样的真空高压环境有利于空 气敏感的固相反应的进行, 很适合前驱体为 LiF这类稳定化合物的反应。

为使本发明的目的、 技术方案和优点更加清楚, 下面将结合本发明实施 例中的附图, 对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、 完整地描述, 显然, 所描述的实施例是本发明一部分实施例, 而不是全部的实施例。 基于本发明 中的实施例, 本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所 有其他实施例, 都属于本发明保护的范围。
实施例 1
混合阳离子占位的单斜晶系(Li。.5Fe。.5)2S04F
(Li0.5Fe。.5)2SO4F通过以下步骤制备: 首先按照摩尔比 1 : 1 称取 LiF和 FeS04-7H20 (或 FeS04'¾0 ), 釆用 Union Process 01 -HD型高能球磨机球磨 5 小时后得到 D50为 30nm的前躯体粉末, 其中球磨介质粒径 O.lmm-lOmm, 转速为 2000转 /分钟; 将该前躯体粉末在高纯 Ar气保护下预烧 5小时, 所述 预烧温度为 200°C (预烧升温速度为 1 小时将该前躯体粉末从室温升温至 200 °C ),之后冷却 10小时降到室温;将研磨预烧后的前躯体粉末在 380°C (升 温速度为 2小时从室温升温至 380°C ) 恒温下热压烧结 0.25小时, 热压烧结 压力为 lOMPa, 冷却至室温。 加热腔内压力为 l(T2Pa。
将烧结所得固体研磨粉碎后就可以得到单斜晶系的 (Li0.5Fea5)2SO4F正极 材料。 产物化合物结构的解析及性能测定:
釆用 XRD、 SEM、 恒电流充放电仪测试上述产物的晶体结构、 形貌、 放 电容量以及首周放率, 所得化合物样品的电镜照片如图 6-1 所示, 其平均粒 径、 放电容量、 首周效率数据参见表 4。
图 2为非混合阳离子占位的单斜晶系(Li。.5Fe。.5)2S04F的 XRD拟合图; 图 3为混合阳离子占位的单斜晶系(Li0.5Fea5)2SO4F的 XRD拟合图。 对比图 2和 图 3可见, 两个 XRD图谱主要区别在 20。的出峰情况。 图 2所示的 XRD图 谱中, 若干较强的特征峰在该处出现, 表示在晶胞中 Li和 Fe固定在各自相 应的位置。 而在图 3所示的本发明的 (Li。.5Fe。.5)2S04F的 XRD拟合图谱中, 没 有特征峰在该处出现, 表示 Li和 Fe在晶胞中所占的位置已无法区分, 也就 是说两者混合占位。
图 4-1为混合阳离子占位的单斜晶系(Li 5Fea5)2S04F的 XRD实测图; 可 见本发明制备的 (Li0.5Fe().5)2SO4F的 XRD实测图与图 3为混合阳离子占位的单 斜晶系(Li 5Feo.5)2S04F的 XRD拟合图基本吻合,且从表 3混合阳离子占位的 单斜相 (Li。.5Fe。.5)2S04F的晶胞参数与理论实验数据误差值均小于 5%,可见本 发明制备的 (Li。.5Fe。.5)2S04F 的结构相同。 由此可推断出本实施例所制备的 ( Li。.5Fe。.5)2S04F中 Li和 Fe的原子占位是可互换的混合占位。 在此情况下, 在晶胞中 Li的固有位置和 Fe的固有位置上发现 Li原子的机率是相等的, 且 等于该化合物中 Li相对于 Li+Fe的摩尔比; 同样, 在晶胞中 Li的固有位置 和 Fe的固有位置上发现 Fe原子的机率是相等的,且等于该化合物中 Fe相对 于 Li+Fe的摩尔比。 由图 1-1、 1-2、 4-1和表 2可见混合阳离子占位的单斜晶 系(Li。.5Fe。.5)2S04F的空间群为 C12/cl (群号 15), 每个晶体学原胞包含八个分 子式的 (Li0.5Fe0.5)2SO4F。 晶胞参数 a = 13.04 (A), b = 6.39 (A), c = 9.85 (A), β = 119.77。。 其中锂原子与 Fe原子混合占据两个不同的 8f位, 各有 50%的占 据概率。 将两个 8f为标记为位置 1与位置 2。 晶体结构如图 1-1、 1-2所示, 以 Lil/Fel 为中心的八面体共边连接形成沿(101)方向的一维链(图 1-1), 以 Li2/Fe2为中心的八面体共边连接形成沿 (010)方向的一维链 (图 1-2)。 构成两 种八面体的配位阴离子都是四个氧原子与两个氟原子, 而连接共边八面体的 是交替排布的氧 -氧边或氟-氟边。孤立分布的硫酸根将这两种八面体链连接在 一起, 形成一个三维的晶体结构。

图 5-1 为混合阳离子占位的单斜晶系(Li0.5Fea5)2SO4F的首周充放电曲线 图; 可见本实施例所制备的单斜晶系(Lia5Fe0.5)2SO4F的电压平台为 3.9 V。
图 6-1为混合阳离子占位的单斜晶系(Li0.5Fea5)2SO4F的 SEM图谱; 可见 其粒径在 500 nm以下。
图 7为混合阳离子占位的单斜晶系(Li0.5Fe0.5)2SO4F的 GITT曲线和 OCV 曲线; 由图可见经过长达 12小时的静置, 所得平衡电位所连成的 OCV曲线 显示 (Li。.5Fe。.5)2S04F大部分的嵌脱锂区域在 3.9 V, 这个电压值基本恒定的平 台是两相反应的特征。
图 8为混合阳离子占位的单斜晶系(Li0.5Fe().5)2SO4F的循环曲线实测图;由 图可见开路电压曲线在 3.9 V附近有明显的平台区。极化曲线则呈现出了一种 特殊的规律, 即在充电过程中, 极化是先变大后减小, 然后再逐渐增大; 而 在放电过程中, 有类似的规律, 即先变大后变小再变大。 这样在相近锂含量 的状态中, 极化的大小恰好相反。
图 9为不同充放电态的 (Li。.5Fe。.5)2S04F的 XRD图谱,由图可见随其充放 电的过程, 衍射峰没有明显偏移可以证明本实施例所制备的 (Li。.5Fe。.5)2S04F 在充放电过程中晶胞体积变化小, 经计算仅有 3%左右。 实施例 2
