Description
本发明属于锂离子电池技术领域,具体涉及一种单晶三元正极材料及其制备方法和应用。
三元正极材料因其比容量高、比能量密度高、循环好、安全和成本低等原因,一直受到新能源行业的关注。一般为了得到更高的容量,三元材料的研发方向主要分为以下两种:第一个方向是提高镍含量,制备高镍材料,但是Li和Ni具有相似的半径,Ni与Li发生交换导致锂镍混排,锂层中镍离子浓度越大,锂在层状结构中的脱嵌越难,材料的稳定性越差,安全性也就越差,同时成本越高;第二个方向是提高材料的充放电电压,让三元材料晶格里面的锂更大程度的脱出和插入,但会导致材料的结构不稳定,以及在高电压下正极材料与电解液的表面副反应加剧,消耗晶格锂和阻碍锂的传输,导致材料循环恶化以及产气严重。
目前,针对高电压下材料的循环以及产气问题,主要集中于改善材料基材的稳定性、降低材料的表面积和隔绝材料与电解液的直接接触等方向。处理方式主要是通过掺杂提高材料本身的安全稳定性,主要是在脱出更多的锂的情况下,能够支撑柱层状材料的结构,掺杂主要是锆、钛、铝、钨、镁、钪、钒、钙、锶、钡、镓、铟等元素的掺杂。包覆稳定的包覆层和增大单晶粒子的大小减少了材料与电解液的接触反应和金属溶解效应,从而减少电芯的产气、循环等问题,一般包覆用金属氧化物(Al
2O
3,TiO
2,ZnO,ZrO
2等)修饰三元材料表面。但是在高电压下,为了维持材料稳定的结构,掺杂元素的含量有点偏高,过多的掺杂,材料结构稳定,但是材料的容量会有点偏低。材料的包覆以及大颗粒会引起材料的DCR增加,特别在放电电位较低的情况下,电解液中的锂离子难以进入到正极材料的晶格中,导致材料容量偏低以循环变差。

2、本发明通过第一次烧结使锂源与第一掺杂剂反应形成快离子导体,改善材料的电子和离子传输通道,降低局部过电位而影响材料结构稳定同时提高材料的离子和电子传输动力学性能。第二次烧结,在单晶的表面形成表面梯度掺杂(一种结构稳定的包覆层),这个包覆层的晶体结构与内部的结构接近,即使制备的壳厚度很小,也不会在充放电过程中体积膨胀或收缩导致材料的表层脱落,这样达到稳定单晶的表面,另外高温也会将破碎成单晶样品过程中产生的微粉与表面残留的锂源反应形成正极材料,降低材料的BET和残锂,在电池中降低材料表面副反应,改善电池的循环性能和产气性能和阻抗增长。
3、本发明的第三次烧结,单晶材料表面的残余锂源与一些元素(包覆剂的元素)反应,形成一种补充在充放电过程中的晶格锂的损失的补锂剂,特别是在高电压导致的脱锂较深的情况下,将材料表面多余的残锂变成有利的补锂剂或者快离子通道,会明显改善单晶材料在电池中循环性能和倍率性能。
4、本发明在制备单晶材料过程中,通过提高锂与前驱体金属元素的摩尔配比降低了材料中的锂和镍元素的混排,得到内部结构的完整性单晶三元材料;另外在晶格中掺杂其他元素,稳定材料内部的晶体结构,高的锂与前驱体金属元素的摩尔配比会有未反应的锂源,变成有利的快离子导体和补锂剂,提高材料的倍率以及循环性能,另外稳定的壳核结构在保证容量的基础上,对材料的内部以及表面都形成稳定的结构,改善材料的BET(比表面积)和残锂,降低电池中材料与电解液的界面副反应的发生,进而改善循环以及产气性能。

实施例1与对比例1-3分析:
图1是实施例1和对比例1的XRD数据,(006)/(102)和(108)/(110)晶面峰分离明显,说明二个材料都具有较高的结晶度,另外,XRD中(003)/(104)晶面峰强度比均大于1.2,说明二个材料均为较好的层状晶体结构以及较小的锂镍混排;XRD中实施例1的峰强和(003)/(104)峰比相对于对比例1强说明实施例1的材料的结晶性会更优,和锂镍混排程度更低,同时实施例1峰位比对比例1峰位偏左,说明材料的层间距较大,上述结果说明相对较高的配锂比对材料的结构完整以及材料的层间距有改善,说明其对锂离子的脱出和进入比较有利,锂离子利用率提高和扩散系数大的原因,对材料的动力学影响大;图2是实施例1制备的单晶三元正极材料,在材料的表面有一层保护层,这个保护层在形成的过程中会消耗表面残锂和因粉碎过程产生的微粉,对改善电池的产气有利,第二这个保护层可以补充在高电压下由于晶格里面的锂副反应导致损失,第三这个保护层可以隔绝电解液与电池正极材料之间的副反应,因此上述保护层能够明显改善材料的循环性能以及容量;图3为对比例2制备的单晶三元正极材料的SEM图,材料的表面有很多因粉碎产生的微粉;图4为对比例3制备的单晶三元正极材料的SEM图,材料在高温表面掺杂,形成的材料的表面也比较光滑,微粉较少,明显看到材料表面残锂;图5为实施例1和对比例1-3制备材料的循环性能结果,从材料的表面可以明显看到,实施例1制备的材料的循环较好,容量最高;实施例1和对比例1-3正极材料扣式半电池首圈测试结果,如表1所示。
表1实施例1与对比例1-3数据
表1为实施例1和对比例1-3的正极材料的电化学性能的比较,实施例1在最高电压为4.45V,0.1C首次放电比容量为194.7mAh/g,放电效率为89.2%;这明显高于对比例的正极材料比容量以及效率,通过多配锂,明显改善材料的锂镍混排和晶格间距,同时掺杂稳定三元材料晶体结构,另外通过表层的掺杂构建一层更稳定的壳,保护内部材料的结构稳定,同时包覆将单晶材料表面不利的残锂转化为有利的快离子导电网络或补锂剂,从而让锂离子脱出和嵌入能垒降低,使其材料的首圈比容量以及效率提高。
