一种正极补锂材料、包含该材料的正极极片和电化学装置 技术领域
本申请涉及电化学领域,具体涉及一种正极补锂材料、包含该材料的正极极片和电化学装置。
背景技术
锂离子二次电池具有储能密度大、开路电压高、自放电率低、循环寿命长、安全性好等优点,广泛应用于电能储存、移动电子设备、电动汽车和航天航空设备等各个领域。随着移动电子设备和电动汽车进入高速发展阶段,市场对锂离子二次电池的能量密度、循环性能和动力学性能等都提出了越来越高的要求。
由于锂离子二次电池在首次充放电过程中,负极表面会产生大量的固体电解质界面膜(Solid Electrolyte Interphase,SEI),消耗锂离子电池中有限的锂离子和电解液,造成不可逆容量损失,降低锂离子二次电池的能量密度。在使用石墨负极的电池中,首次循环会消耗大约10%的活性锂源;当采用高比容量的负极材料,如合金类(硅、锡等)、氧化物类(氧化硅、氧化锡等)和无定形碳负极时,活性锂源的消耗将进一步加剧。因此,一种合适的补锂方法对锂离子二次电池的能量密度的提高显得尤为重要。
针对上述问题,目前提出了相对安全和便于操作的正极补锂的方法。例如,Li 2NiO 2类富锂过渡金属氧化物补锂材料,这类材料的比容量高、制备方法简单,能较好地提升锂离子二次电池的能量密度。但这类材料的表面游离锂含量极高,在调浆过程极易造成浆料的凝胶,严重影响加工性能。而且,极高的游离锂含量,会极大恶化锂离子二次电池的高温存储性能,导致存储胀气、性能衰减。

附图说明
为了更清楚地说明本申请和现有技术的技术方案,下面对实施例和现有技术中所需要使用的附图作简单地介绍,显而易见地,下面描述中的附图仅仅是本申请的一些实施例。
图1为本申请的实施例1中扣式电池的正极极片在首次充放电后的XRD(X射线衍射)图谱;

具体实施方式
为使本申请的目的、技术方案、及优点更加清楚明白,以下参照附图和实施例,对本申请进一步详细说明。显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本申请一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员所获得的所有其他技术方案,都属于本申请保护的范围。
需要说明的是,本申请的具体实施方式中,以锂离子电池作为电化学装置的例子来解释本申请,但是本申请的电化学装置并不仅限于锂离子电池。
图1示出了本申请的实施例1中扣式电池的正极极片在首次充放电后的XRD衍射图谱。其中,图1中的(a)为正极极片首次充放电后的图谱,图1中的(b)为NiO标准卡片。如图1所示,在36°至38°处出现衍射峰A,在42°至44°处出现衍射峰B,在62°至64°处出现衍射峰C。衍射峰A、衍射峰B、衍射峰C对应岩盐相NiO的衍射峰,表明本申请的正极极片在首次充放电后存在氧化镍。

从实施例1、实施例2、实施例3、实施例4、实施例5、实施例6和对比例1、对比例2、对比例3可以看出,本申请利用相同的有机溶剂和含硅材料对不同的富锂的过渡金属氧化物进行处理,可以有效降低富锂的过渡金属氧化物表面的活性锂离子含量m(Li +),抑制浆料凝浆,改善加工性能,降低锂离子电池高温存储产气。
从实施例1、实施例7、实施例8、实施例9、实施例10、实施例11、实施例12、实施例13、实施例14和对比例1可以看出,本申请通过选择不同的含硅材料对富锂的过渡金属氧化物进行处理,虽然表层的成分不同,但其均能有效改善内核材料表面游离锂的含量,能够有效抑制浆料凝胶,能够避免锂离子电池高温存储产气的问题,使锂离子电池在高温存储下厚度膨胀比例明显降低。而对比例1中将未经处理的Li 2NiO 2补锂材料加入正极浆料中,在调浆过程中浆料颗粒发生了团聚,粘度反弹严重,如果浆料待料时间进一步延长,则会出现凝胶导致无法涂布。其中,从实施例1、实施例15、实施例16和对比例4可以看出,Li 2NiO 2表面的活性锂离子含量m(Li +)随着表层中硅含量的变化而变化,只要使得表层中硅的质量百分含量在本申请范围内,就能够有效提升正极补锂材料的首次充电比容量,以及有效改善锂离子电池在高温存储下的厚度膨胀比例。
正极补锂材料的Dv50和比表面积的变化通常也会影响本申请的正极补锂材料表面游离锂的含量。从实施例1、实施例17、实施例18可以看出,只要使得正极补锂材料的Dv50和比表面积在本申请范围内,就能够进一步降低内核材料表面游离锂的含量,抑制浆料凝胶。
综合上述分析可知,本申请提供的正极补锂材料,包括富锂过渡金属氧化物Li 2MO 2的内核、及存在于该内核上的含硅材料Q-(CQ’ 2) n-Si(OR) 3表层,不仅能实现活性锂地补充,有效提升电化学装置的能量密度,而且能够有效抑制调浆过程中的凝胶现象,改善加工性能,使电化学装置的高温存储性能得到有效改善。
以上所述仅为本申请的较佳实施例,并不用以限制本申请,凡在本申请的精神和原则之内,所做的任何修改、等同替换、改进等,均应包含在本申请保护的范围之内。
