具体实施方式
下面的实施例可以使本领域技术人员更全面地理解本申请,但不以任何方式限制本申请。
电化学装置(例如锂离子电池)被广泛应用在各个领域,相关技术中电化学装置在高温下循环性能降低、且易于产气导致安全性能降低。
为了提高高温循环性能并减少高温产气,一些相关技术中,采用具有二次颗粒形貌的正极材料,二次颗粒由纳米级的一次颗粒团聚而成,其具 有较好的倍率性能,并结合掺杂及表面包覆减少正极材料和电解液的界面副反应,抑制正极材料中金属元素溶出,从而在一定程度上改善高温循环性能以及减少高温产气。在另一些相关技术中,采用具有一次颗粒形貌的正极材料,其具有较大的一次颗粒平均粒径和相对较低的表面残余Li,一次颗粒表面具有更好的表面包覆,充放电过程中颗粒之间相互作用应力更少,从而获得更好的高温循环性能。
然而,对于采用二次颗粒形貌的正极材料,其在充放电过程中由于晶格膨胀和晶格收缩会导致一次颗粒之间存在相互作用的应力,导致颗粒破碎,并且二次颗粒内部的一次颗粒无法被很好的包覆,这些问题都会导致正极材料和电解液之间的副反应加剧,导致性能降低、产气增加。对于采用一次颗粒形貌的正极材料,由于其较大的一次颗粒平均粒径,不利于锂离子传输,大倍率放电容量保持率低,温升高,大倍率高温循环性能差。
在本申请的一些实施例中,提出了一种正极,正极可以是电化学装置的正极,正极包括正极集流体和正极活性物质层,正极集流体例如可以是铝箔或铜箔,正极活性物质层位于正极集流体一面或两面的至少部分区域上,正极活性物质层可以包括正极材料,正极材料可以包括钴锰酸锂或镍钴铝酸锂中的一种或两种,正极材料中含有Li元素;使用电感耦合等离子体光谱仪(ICP)测试正极的Li元素在正极活性物质层的质量含量为1.45%至1.55%时,使用差分电化学质谱(DEMS)测试正极得到的CO 2的积分强度Q≤2000nmol/mg。
以下示意性的描述一些实施例中采用差分电化学质谱(DEMS)测试正极的原理和方法。基本原理为:将包含原位电池的电化学工作站和质谱测量系统联用,使用真空系统形成压力差,运送电池的气体产物进入检测器,实现对电池在不同条件下工作产气情况的在线检测。测试方法为:对于要进行测试的正极使用0.1C电流调节脱锂量,直到电感耦合等离子体光谱仪(ICP)测试正极Li元素在正极活性物质层的质量含量为1.45%至1.55%,然后使用碳酸二甲酯(DMC)溶液浸泡正极24小时,真空烘干,将烘干后的正极装在上述的原位电池中,电解液成分由30%碳酸亚乙酯(EC)和70%碳酸二乙酯(DEC)(质量百分比)以及1mol/L LiPF 6组成,电解液添加量为3g/Ah 至4g/Ah,然后调节电池的环境温度为85℃并进行存储,同时实时检测在0至500000秒时间段内的CO 2气体信号,得到CO 2的积分强度Q。
以下示意性的描述一些实施例中采用电感耦合等离子体光谱仪(ICP)测试正极的原理和方法。基本原理为:根据不同元素的原子或离子在热激发下,发射特征谱线而进行的定性和定量分析。由于待测元素原子的能级结构不同,因此发射谱线的特征不同,据此可以进行定性分析,而根据待测元素原子的浓度不同,因此发射强度不同,可实现元素的定量测定。测试方法为:将待测试的极片取6个平行样,分别称重、消解、稀释,然后使用Thermo ICAP6300型号的电感耦合等离子体发射光谱仪测试Li元素的质量含量求平均值,其Li元素的质量含量为极片扣除基材后活性材料中的质量百分比。
在本申请的一些实施例中,使用电感耦合等离子体光谱仪(ICP)测试正极的Li元素在正极活性物质层的质量含量为1.45%至1.55%范围,使用差分电化学质谱(DEMS)测试正极得到的CO 2的积分强度Q≤2000nmol/mg。这表明正极在较高脱锂状态下产生的CO 2的含量较少,正极材料本身结构稳定,在脱锂的过程中能够保持正极材料初始的结构,释氧量少,因此具有更优的循环性能和安全可靠性。
在本申请的一些实施例中,正极材料包括:LiNi xCo yM1 1-x-y-zM2 zO 2;其中0.5≤x<1,0≤y<0.5,0≤z≤0.005,M1包括Mn或者Al中的至少一种,M2包括Mg、Ti、Zr、Ce、Sr、Y、Hf、Ba、Nb、V、Al、Ge、Sn、W、Mo、Si或B中的至少一种。一些实施例中,Al元素能够稳定正极材料中的氧,减少高温产气。
在本申请的一些实施例中,正极材料包括一次颗粒和二次颗粒,二次颗粒Dv50大于一次颗粒的Dv50的1.5倍;二次颗粒的X射线衍射图谱中(003)面的衍射峰的半高宽FWHM1满足:0.140°≤FWHM1≤0.25°;一次颗粒的X射线衍射图谱中(003)面的衍射峰的半高宽FWHM2满足:0.12°≤FWHM2≤0.19°。一些实施例中,正极材料中具有多晶形貌的二次颗粒有利于提高正极材料的倍率性能,正极材料中含有单晶形貌的一次颗粒,有利于提高正极材料的循环性能,正极材料中同时包括一次颗粒和二次颗粒从而兼顾倍率性能和循环性能。一次颗粒Dv50和二次颗粒的Dv50的测试方法:在2%相对湿度的干燥房内取一部分用正极材料,均匀分散在NMP溶液内,超 声分散12h后,搅拌均匀,得到含正极材料的悬浊液,将该悬浊液一边搅,一边缓慢倒入1500目的筛网上,一部分小颗粒通过筛网进入到滤液中,将这些滤液静置24h后,倒掉上清液,烘干后得到的粉末即为一次颗粒,另一部分大颗粒在筛网上,烘干后得到的粉末即为二次颗粒。
在本申请的一些实施例中,正极材料包括一次颗粒;一次颗粒平均粒径为1.5μm至2.5μm。在一些实施例中,当一次颗粒为球形时,一次颗粒平均粒径是指颗粒的平均直径,当一次颗粒为非球形时,一次颗粒平均粒径是指颗粒最长轴的长度。一次颗粒的粒径可以通过扫描电子显微镜(SEM)观察并测量,统计包含50颗以上一次颗粒的粒径并求均值,其均值为其正极材料的一次颗粒平均粒径。一些实施例中,一次颗粒平均粒径小于1.5μm可能因为与电解液的接触面过大导致电解液消耗增多并增加副反应,一次颗粒平均粒径大于2.5μm可能会不利于锂离子的传输,降低倍率性能。一些实施例中,正极材料为一次颗粒。
在本申请的一些实施例中,正极材料中含有Zr元素和B元素,且正极材料中Zr元素的质量含量大于或等于B元素的质量含量。一些实施例中,Zr元素有利于提高正极材料的结构稳定性,从而提高循环性能和安全性能,B元素有利于改善正极材料表面的残余锂,但是当B元素的质量含量过高时可能导致动力学性能降低。
在本申请的一些实施例中,正极活性物质层的涂覆质量为0.78g/m 2至1.62g/m 2,压实密度为3.1g/cm 3至3.55g/cm 3。一些实施例中,涂覆质量是指正极活性物质层的质量与涂覆面积的比值,当正极活性物质层的涂覆质量小于0.78g/m 2时,可能因为正极集流体上负载的正极活性物质层过少,降低体积能量密度,当正极活性物质层的涂覆质量大于1.62g/m 2时,正极集流体上负载的正极活性物质层过多,会导致电解液的浸润和传输变差,从而造成导电性能降低。一些实施例中,压实密度低于3.1g/cm 3时,可能不利于提高体积能量密度,并导致内阻增加,压实密度大于3.55g/cm 3可能会因为压力过大造成正极材料破裂,不利于循环性能。
在本申请的一些实施例中,正极材料的延伸率≤1%。一些实施例中,正极材料的延伸率大于1%可能会导致较多的正极材料破碎,导致充放电过程的产气增加,并且会降低正极集流体的强度,造成可加工性能降低。正极材料 的延伸率通过以下方法获得:将满放态的电芯拆解,得到满放正极,使用DMC溶剂浸泡48h进行清洗,烘干后刮粉,并在500℃的氧气气氛下烧结约6h除去导电剂和粘结剂,得到正极材料。将正极材料和乙炔黑(导电剂)、聚偏二氟乙烯(粘结剂)按照96.0:2.0:2.0的比例混合均匀,添加适量的N-甲基吡咯烷酮(NMP)充分搅拌配制成均匀的浆料,以90g/m 2的面密度涂覆于10um Al箔(集流体)上,经过烘干后取长度为1m极片,控制冷压压密为3.5g/cm 3进行冷压,得到冷压后的极片长度为L,则正极材料的延伸率为:(L-1)/1。
在本申请的一些实施例中提出一种电化学装置,包括:上述任一项的正极、负极和隔离膜,隔离膜位于正极和负极之间。
在一些实施例中,电化学装置在45℃循环过程中存在第N圈循环,其中N>400,且第N-3圈循环的容量保持率P(N-3)和第N+3圈循环的容量保持率P(N+3)满足:P(N-3)-P(N+3)>10%,且电化学装置第N圈循环的体积膨胀率小于10%。在一些实施例中,当正极材料的循环寿命将尽时会发生功能性失效,循环容量保持率大幅下降导致P(N-3)-P(N+3)>10%,而电化学装置在第N圈循环的体积膨胀率仍然小于10%,这表明电化学装置在此时的产气较少,安全性能较好。
在一些实施例中,负极包括负极集流体和负极活性物质层。负极集流体可以采用铜箔、镍箔或碳基集流体中的至少一种。在一些实施例中,负极活性物质层中还可以包括导电剂。导电剂可以包括导电炭黑、科琴黑、片层石墨、石墨烯、碳纳米管或碳纤维中的至少一种。在一些实施例中,负极活性物质层中包括负极材料,负极材料例如可以包括人造石墨、天然石墨、中间相微球、硬碳或含硅材料中的至少一种。

样品前处理方法:取电芯拆解后的正极使用0.1C的小电流调节极片的脱锂量,使得采用电感耦合等离子体光谱仪(ICP)测试正极Li元素在正极活性物质层的质量含量为1.45%至1.55%范围,然后使用DMC溶液浸泡24小时,真空烘干后密封备用。
DEMS测试中电池的工作条件:使用上述处理过的正极,装在DEMS测试系统的原位电池中,电解液成分由30%EC和70%DEC(质量百分比)以及1mol LiPF 6组成,电解液添加量在3g/Ah至4g/Ah,然后调节电池的环境温度为85℃并进行存储,同时实时检测在0至500000s时间段内的CO 2气体信号。
2.电感耦合等离子体光谱仪(ICP)测试
基本原理为:根据不同元素的原子或离子在热激发下,发射特征谱线而进行的定性和定量分析。由于待测元素原子的能级结构不同,因此发射谱线 的特征不同,据此可以进行定性分析,而根据待测元素原子的浓度不同,因此发射强度不同,可实现元素的定量测定。
测试方法为:将待测试的极片取6个平行样,分别称重、消解、稀释,然后使用Thermo ICAP6300型号的电感耦合等离子体发射光谱仪测试Li元素的质量含量求平均值,其Li元素的质量含量为极片扣除基材后活性材料中的质量百分比。
3.容量测试
将实施例和对比例中的锂离子电池各组取4支,在约25℃的环境中,0.5C(即2h内完全放掉理论容量的电流值)的充电电流下进行恒流和恒压充电,直到上限电压为约4.2V,然后在0.2C的放电电流下进行恒流放电,直到最终电压为约2.8V,计算首次的放电容量作为电池的容量。
4.循环性能及循环产气测试
将实施例和对比例中的锂离子电池各组取4支,通过以下步骤对锂离子电池重复进行充电和放电,并计算锂离子电池的放电容量保持率。
首先,在约45℃的环境中,进行第一次充电和放电,在2C的充电电流下进行恒流和恒压充电,直到上限电压为约4.2V,然后在6C的放电电流下进行恒流放电,直到最终电压为约2.8V,记录首次循环的放电容量和此时的厚度(初始厚度);而后进行400次的充电和放电循环,记录第400次循环的放电容量和第400次循环后的厚度。
400圈循环容量保持率=(第400次循环的放电容量/首次循环的放电容量)×100%。
循环产气情况:400圈循环膨胀率=((第400次循环后厚度-初始厚度)/初始厚度))×100%
5.高温存储测试
将实施例和对比例中的锂离子电池各组取4支,在约25℃的环境中,以0.5C倍率恒定电流充电至电压高于约4.2V,在约4.2V恒定电压下充电至电流低于0.05C,使电池处于4.2V满充状态。测试存储前的满充电池厚度(初始满冲厚度)。将满充状态的电池置于约85℃烘箱存储约24h后,测试其存储后的厚度。
85℃存储24h厚度膨胀率=((85℃存储24h厚度-初始满冲厚度)/初始满充厚度)×100%。
6.压实密度(PD)的测试方法:
取冷压后的正极,用1540.25mm 2模具冲取6片正极材料层和6片正极集流体,使用分析天平(上海精科天美电子天平FA2004B)称量6片正极材料层的总重Mc g和6片集流体的总重为Mb g,用千分尺测量6片正极材料层的平均厚度为Dc mm,6片集流体的平均厚度为Db mm。PD=[(Mc-Mb)/6]/(Dc-Db)/1540.25×1000,单位为g/ml。
7.10C放电容量保持率测试
将锂离子电池在25℃的环境中静置30分钟,然后以0.5C倍率恒流充电至4.2V,以4.2V恒压充电至0.05C,静置30分钟,接着以0.2C倍率放电至2.8V,记录此时的放电容量为锂离子电池的实际容量C1;静置30分钟后再以0.5C倍率恒流充电至4.2V,以4.2V恒压充电至0.05C,静置30分钟,接着以10C倍率放电至2.8V,记录此时的放电容量为锂离子电池的实际容量C2。通过下式计算10C放电容量保持率:
10C放电容量保持率=C2/C1×100%。
8.N计算方法
按照循环性能的测试方法获得45℃循环过程中第N圈的循环保持率P(N)和第N周电化学装置的膨胀率,然后按照满足第N周(N>400)前后的第N-3周和第N+3周循环保持率P的差异P(N-3)-P(N+3)>10%,且第N周电化学装置的膨胀率小于10%的条件获的最小的N即为N值。
9.正极材料延伸率测试
获取活性材料:将满放态的电芯拆解,得到满放正极,使用DMC溶剂浸泡48h进行清洗,烘干后刮粉,并在500℃的氧气气氛下烧结约6h除去导电剂和粘结剂,得到正极材料。

表1示出了实施例1至13和对比例1的各个参数和评估结果。
表1
Figure PCTCN2021079807-appb-000001
表1展示了通过控制正极材料在一定Li含量下的CO 2积分强度,对高温存储性能,高温循环保持率及高温循环产气性能的影响,包括正极材料组分、掺杂元素和掺杂量的影响。表1中,实施例和对比例的B元素含量均为0ppm,且一次颗粒的平均粒径均为1.8μm,涂覆质量均为1.2g/cm 2,压实密度均为3.5g/cm 3,1g正极材料所含1,3,6-己三甲腈量为0g。
从实施例1至13和对比例1的测试结果可以看出,实施例1至13的N值,10C放电容量保持率和400圈循环保持率均高于对比例1,且85℃存储24h膨胀率和400圈循环膨胀率均低于对比例1,由此可见,在使用电感耦合等离子体光谱仪(ICP)测试正极的Li元素在正极活性物质层的质量含量在1.45%至1.55%范围,使用差分电化学质谱测试正极得到的CO 2的积分强度 Q≤2000nmol/mg的条件的情况下,可以提高锂离子电池的高温循环性能并减少高温产气,改善电池的安全可靠性。
对比实施例1至4可以看出,实施例1至4中采用了不同组分的正极材料,随着正极材料中Ni含量的降低,CO 2积分强度明显减少,表明正极材料在高温条件下的释氧量减少,氧化电解液产生的CO 2气体降低,因此能够明显改善电化学装置在高温条件下存储性能和循环性能。
对比实施例1和实施例3可以看出,实施例3的高温存储产气和高温循环产气均少于实施例1,这是因为实施例3中使用Al元素替换了实施例1中的Mn元素,从而能够更好的稳定结构中的氧,减少CO 2积分强度,改善高温性能。
对比实施例1、实施例5至7和对比例1可以看出,实施例1、实施例5至7与对比例1的正极材料组分相同,实施例1、实施例5至7通过调控烧结后的冷却参数,使得CO 2的积分强度降低到1200nmol/mg至2000nmol/mg,极大降低了正极材料在高脱锂态下的释氧量,抑制了正极材料与电解液之间的界面反应,使得锂离子电池85℃存储性能和高温循环性能显著改善。
相比对比例1,实施例1和实施例5至7在45℃循环过程中存在第N圈循环(N>400),第N-3周循环容量保持率P(N-3)和第N+3周循环保持率P(N+3)的差异P(N-3)-P(N+3)>10%,且第N周电化学装置的膨胀率小于10%。例如实施例1在第497圈和第503圈的循环保持率相差大于10%,且其第500周循环的膨胀率小于10%,表明实施例1的电化学装置在500圈循环前后发生功能型失效,即在达到一定循环寿命后循环保持率发生快速衰减,避免继续工作所带来的安全风险。而对比例1不存在这样的特征,其高温循环性能较差(400圈循环保持率53%)且存在较大的安全风险(400周循膨胀率达到29%)。
实施例8至13展示了不同的掺杂元素及掺杂量对CO 2积分强度的影响,及通过对其调控改善高温存储和高温循环性能。相比实施例1,实施例8至11分别通过Zr、Al、Sr、W的掺杂实现了CO 2积分强度的降低,并对锂离子电池的高温性能进一步改善。不同的掺杂元素实现效果接近,其中Al和W元素较优,但Al的引入会导致克容量的降低。对比实施例8和实施例12至 13可以看出,随掺杂量的增加,CO 2积分强度进一步降低,但过高的掺杂量会导致克容量的降低。
表2示出了实施例8、14至17的各个参数和评估结果。
表2
Figure PCTCN2021079807-appb-000002
表2展示了B元素的含量及一次颗粒平均粒径对高温存储性能,高温循环保持率及高温循环产气性能的影响,表2中,掺杂元素为Zr,且掺杂量3000ppm,正极的涂覆质量1.2g/cm 2,压实密度为3.5g/cm 3,1,3,6-己三甲腈的添加量为0g。
从实施例8和实施例14至15可以看出,可以通过一定B含量的包覆能够改善材料表面稳定性,减少正极CO 2积分强度,改善锂离子电池高温存储和高温循环性能。但当B元素含量过高超过Zr元素含量时,由于过量的B的存在会带来倍率性能显著降低,同时也影响高温产气,所以优选正极材料中Zr元素的质量含量大于或等于B元素的质量含量。
从实施例8和实施例16至17可以看出,通过调整烧结温度使正极材料一次颗粒的平均粒径增大,能够改善锂离子电池的高温循环性能能和高温存储性能,这是因为一次颗粒的粒径增大减小了正极材料表面与电解液的接触和副反应,从而降低了CO 2的积分强度,改善了高温性能。一次粒子平均粒径过大时,Li +传输路径减少,影响克容量,当一次粒子平均粒径过小时会增加颗粒表面副反应,影响高温产气及循环性能,因此,一次颗粒的平均粒径为1.5μm至2.5μm时,能兼顾高温产气及循环性能。
表3示出了实施例1、18至19的各个参数和评估结果。
Figure PCTCN2021079807-appb-000003
表3展示了在正极中采用一次颗粒与二次颗粒混用的设计对高温存储性能,高温循环保持率及高温循环产气性能的影响,表3中,无掺杂元素,一次颗粒Dv50为3.5μm,一次颗粒FWHM2为0.15°,正极的涂覆质量1.2g/cm 2,压实密度为3.5g/cm 3,1,3,6-己三甲腈的添加量为0g。
从对比例2,实施例1和实施例18至19可以看出,相比实施例1中的单一颗粒设计,其在实施例19中采用一次颗粒和二次颗粒混用,其中二者的粒径满足一定的大小关系能够实现更大的堆积密度,使极片冷压制作过程中能够在较小的压力下实现同样的压实密度,减少颗粒破裂,改善高温存储和高温循环性能。同时,由于对烧结温度及颗粒尺寸的控制,使一次颗粒和二次颗粒的X射线衍射图谱中(003)面的衍射峰半高宽FWHM1分别在一定范围,其二次颗粒具有优异的容量发挥,一次颗粒具有更加稳定的结构及更少的反应界面,二者搭配实现高温性能。相比实施例19,实施例18在满足一次颗粒和二次颗粒大小关系的条件下通过增加二次颗粒的Dv50,可进一步减少一次颗粒的暴露表面,抑制表面副反应,改善循环和存储性能。同比之下,对比例2同样采用了一次颗粒与二次颗粒的混合设计,但由于二者的颗粒Dv50不满足二次颗粒Dv50大于一次颗粒的Dv50的1.5倍的范围,导致大小颗粒不能实现最优的级配,循环性能和高温性能发挥有限。
表4示出了实施例8、20至23的各个参数和评估结果。
表4
Figure PCTCN2021079807-appb-000004
Figure PCTCN2021079807-appb-000005
表4展示了正极涂覆质量和压实密度对高温循环保持率及高温循环产气性能的影响,表4中,掺杂元素为Zr,且掺杂量3000ppm,实施例B元素含量均为0,1,3,6-己三甲腈的添加量为0g,克容量为199mAh/g,一次颗粒平均粒径为1.8μm。
实施例8和实施例20至实施例21可以看出,通过减少正极的涂覆质量,能够提高锂离子电池的高温循环性能,这是因为通过减少正极的涂覆质量能够减小锂离子在正极中的传输路径,降低循环过程中的温升,从而改善高温循环性能。
实施例22至23可以看出,压实密度过大,锂离子电池的高温循环性能明显降低,导致正极材料的颗粒破碎,增加了与电解液的接触面积,导致副反应增加,实施例22和实施例23通过选取合适的压实密度,减少了正极材料的颗粒之间的挤压和破裂,减小材料中新鲜表面的暴露,降低CO 2积分强度,从而改善了锂离子电池的高温循环。
表5示出了实施例8、24至26的各个参数和评估结果。
表5
Figure PCTCN2021079807-appb-000006
表5展示了电解液中多腈化合物相对于正极材料的质量比对锂离子电池的正极克容量、高温循环性能、高温存储性能和倍率性能的影响,表5中实 施例的掺杂元素均为Zr,且掺杂量均为3000ppm,实施例的B元素含量均为0,一次颗粒平均粒径均为1.8μm,涂覆质量均为1.2g/cm 2,压实密度均为3.5g/cm 3,克容量均为199mAh/g。
从实施例8、24至26可以看出,当基于每1g正极材料,电解液包含0.001g至0.005g多腈化合物时,可进一步改善锂离子电池的高温存储性能和高温循环性能。当电解液中多腈化合物含量过高时,对高温存储无进一步改善,但会严重影响倍率性能,进而影响循环性能。因此,限定正极材料与所述多腈化合物的质量比为1:(0.001至0.005)时具有较好的高温存储性能和高温循环性能。
