背景技术
目前,得益于电池技术的快速发展,汽车行业正进行着一场巨大的变革。纯电动汽车以及混合动力汽车获得了前所未有的关注,各大主流汽车制造商正投入大量的资金和人力以加快相关技术开发与积累,以避免在新能源赛道上失去先机、甚至被淘汰。然而,尽管以电力为动力源的纯电动汽车具有环境友好的优点,但是当前的电池技术仍不能完全满足市场的需求,例如电池成本、性能衰减、续航里程、安全问题等,都或多或少地影响消费者的购买欲望。为解决里程焦虑问题,科研人员们一直试图开发高能量密度的用于锂离子电池正极材料,以获得具有高能量密度的锂离子电池。其中,富锂锰基正极材料xLi 2MnO 3·(1-x)LiMO 2(M=Ni,Co,Mn etc.)正是一款具有高放电比容量的高能量密度正极材料,并受到了学术界以及工业界广泛的关注。此外,该材料具有良好的热稳定性,DSC分解温度可达240℃,相较于高镍三元正极材料镍钴锰酸锂以及镍钴铝酸锂表现出明显的优势。然而,富锂锰基正极材料也存在诸多问题,其中较为突出一个问题是其在充放电循环过程中容量衰减严重,这个缺陷直接影响着富锂锰基正极材料的商业化应用前景。
因而,现有的富锂锰基正极材料的相关技术仍有待改进。

具体实施方式
相关技术中的富锂锰基正极材料需要在高截止电压条件下才能发挥出高比容量(在2V~4.8V的电压窗口下,放电比容量≥250mAh/g)。这对电解液的电化学稳定性要求非常苛刻,以避免电解液与富锂锰基正极材料发生不利的副反应。其次,锰元素在富锂锰基正极材料中的含量往往超过40%、远高于镍和钴元素含量,而锰金属元素的金属电导率仅为0.2×10 7S/m,约为钴金属的1/8。这样便会导致富锂锰基正极材料在大电流充放电时锂离子嵌入/脱嵌行为受到很大的阻力,影响了倍率性能的发挥。再次,富锂锰基正极材料包括Li 2MnO 3(C2/m空间群)和LiMO 2(R3-m空间群)组成,其中,Li 2MnO 3在热力学上倾向于向LiMn 2O 4发生相转变,并且,多次充放电循环会促进这种相转变的进程,当LiMn 2O 4积累到一定含量后,会大幅减少锂离子在富锂锰基正极材料中嵌入位点的数量,更重要的是,对于富锂锰基正极材料,在结构中的晶体因择优取向而表现出复杂的存在形态,这使得晶粒之间的晶界位置处存在着各向异性的应力,在充放电循环过程中这些晶粒随着锂离子的嵌入和脱嵌而不断出现收缩和膨胀的行为,导致晶粒边界处的应力加剧,最终在晶粒的内部出现微裂纹,进而导致由该富锂锰基正极材料制备得到的锂离子电池的循环性能较差。

材料测试:
(1)对实施例1和实施例2得到的富锂锰基正极材料进行X射线光电子能谱(XPS)测试。测试过程如下:首先将富锂锰基正极材料置于100℃真空烘箱干燥4h,取出后称量一定量的富锂锰基正极材料粘贴在样品台上,并放入到XPS仪器的样品腔中。在一定的真空度条件下,使用C 60GCIB团簇对样品表面进行清洁处理30min后,然后启动X射线扫描采谱。测试结果如图2和图3所示。
(2)对实施例1-6和对比例1进行扣式半电池的电性能评测
在充满氩气的手套箱中用锂金属片组装扣式电池:正极片由92wt%的活性物质、4wt%的Super-P导电剂和4wt%的PVDF粘结剂组成;电解液由1M的LiPF 6、相同体积的碳酸亚乙酯和碳酸二甲酯、以及助剂配制而成。
倍率性能测试分别在0.1C、0.2C、0.5C、1C和2C的放电倍率下进行测试,电位窗口为2V~4.6V;循环性能测试分别在0.5C和1C的充放电倍率下循环50次,测试结果如表1和图4-7所示。

从实施例1和实施例2的XPS图谱分析(参照图2和图3),硼元素已经进入到富锂锰基正极材料的晶体晶格中,且与氧元素或者过渡金属元素形成了化学键,这说明实施例1和实施例2采用硼元素对晶界的改性策略是可行的。
由图4和图5可以看出,在充电倍率是0.5C,放电倍率是1C的条件下,经过50个充放电循环,实施例1所述的正极材料制备的电池循环容量保持率87.4%;实施例2所述的正极材料制备的电池循环容量保持率达到87.7%;对比例1所述的正极材料制备的电池循环容量保持率为83.2%。可以得出,本公开对富锂锰基正极材料的晶粒的晶界进行改性后,富锂锰基正极材料的循环性能得到了改善(容量保持率提高至少4%)。
由图6和图7可以看出,在大倍率放电条件下,本公开所述的富锂锰基正极材料表现出了较高的放电比容量。例如0.5C倍率充电、1C倍率放电,对比例1的放电比容量为197.4mAh/g、实施例1和实施例2则分别提高到202.6mAh/g和204.6mAh/g(1C倍率提高至少3%)。
由表1可以看出,由实施例1-6对比可知,本公开提供的富锂锰基正极材料的循环性能和倍率性能均较对比例1有了明显的提高。
