图 12 以锂矿为锂源生产磷酸亚铁锂的成套制备工艺流程详图。 具体实施方式
本发明提供一种具有特定微观形貌结构的碳包覆磷酸亚铁锂正极材料: 具有特定 形貌结构的碳包覆磷酸亚铁锂正极材料, 其特征在于: 它是片状的一次粒子团聚而成 的球形或类球形的二次粒子状态, 且一次粒子之间有空隙; 其中, 所述二次粒子的平 均粒径为 12-28微米, 所述的一次粒子是片状的碳包覆的磷酸亚铁锂颗粒, 它在二维 平面的平均粒径为 0.2-1微米, 平均厚度为 50-90纳米。
作为本发明优选的方案: 二次粒子的平均粒径为 15-18微米, 片状的一次粒子在 二维平面的平均粒径为 0.6-0.8微米。
对于本发明而言, 一次粒子的粒径越小, 越有利于锂离子的扩散, 有助于提高磷 酸亚铁锂的比容量和倍率性能; 但是, 一次粒子的粒径过小, 将增加制备电极所需的 粘合剂和溶剂, 并影响电极的涂布性能。 经研究和严格筛选, 本发明选用二维平面的 平均粒径为 0.2-1微米, 平均厚度为 50-90纳米的一次粒子粒径, 可以提高材料的涂布 性能, 并减少粘结剂和溶剂用量。
进一步优选的方案是: 二次粒子与一次粒子的平均粒径比例为 12-140: 1, 进一 步优选为 50-120 : 1。 一次粒子粒径、 二次粒子粒径合适的比例范围便于电解液的浸 润, 使其具有良好的使用性能。 使得本发明的磷酸亚铁锂正极材料表现出十分优异的 循环性能和大电流放电能力; 并且, 被适量碳层均匀包覆的一次粒子能够在电池充放 电过程中最大限度地参与电极反应, 且不会相互分离, 从而避免由此造成的二次粒子 的结构破坏, 因而保证正极材料能够经历多次充放电循环而仍然保持高比容量; 此外, 还能够确保电解液对二次粒子内部空隙的合理浸润, 从而在大电流充放电工作时, 作 为电极活性物质参与电极反应的活性材料不因浓度极化而影响电极反应速度。
作为本发明优选的方案: 所述正极材料的振实密度为 0.8-1.5 g/cm3, 进一步优选 为 1.1 g/cm3
作为本发明优选的方案: 所述正极材料的孔隙率为 5%-20%, 优选为 10%。 孔隙 率过大, 材料的振实密度会降低; 过小, 则不利于电解液的浸润。 作为本发明优选的方案: 所述正极材料的比表面积为 10-25m2/g, 优选为 15m2/g。 比表面积越大, 表示材料所能存放的锂离子数量越多, 从而增大其比容量。
本发明的碳包覆磷酸亚铁锂材料所具有的微观形貌结构非常适合用作电极材料, 并可确保电极颗粒具有满意的活性利用率和大倍率充放电性能。
作为本发明优选的方案: 所述的磷酸亚铁锂中有掺杂元素, 掺杂后的化学式为
LixMyFeaNbP04, 其中, M选自 Ru, Cs的任一种, N选自 V, Mn, Ga, Ge, Se, Zr, Co, Ni, Al的任一种, x、 y、 a、 b分别满足 x+y=l, a+b=l。

本发明所要解决的第二个技术问题是提供上述具有特定形貌结构的碳包覆磷酸 亚铁锂正极材料的制备方法。
解决上述问题的技术方案是: 具有特定微观形貌结构的碳包覆磷酸亚铁锂的制备 方法, 经过如下步骤:
( 1 ) 片状颗粒的磷酸亚铁锂的制备:

(2)含糖的球形或类球形磷酸亚铁锂的制备:
在步骤(1 )制得的片状颗粒的磷酸亚铁锂中加入糖原料水溶液, 至混合液的固含 量为 10-50%, 优选为 10%, 搅拌均匀后, 喷雾干燥, 即得;
其中,糖原料的加入量为磷酸亚铁锂固含量的 5-20%,优选为 6-10%;更优选 8%; (3)碳包覆磷酸亚铁锂二次粒子的制备:
在保护性气体的作用下, 将含糖的球形或类球形磷酸亚铁锂在 500°C-1000°C煅烧
