Description

正极补锂添加剂及其制备方法和应用
本申请要求于2022年02月25日提交中国专利局,申请号为202210184488.2,申请名称为“正极补锂添加剂及其制备方法和应用”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请属于二次电池领域,具体涉及一种正极补锂添加剂及其制备方法和应用。
背景技术
20世纪60、70年代的石油能源危机问题迫使人们去寻找新的可替代的新能源,随着人们对环境保护和能源危机意识的增强。锂离子电池因其具备较高的工作电压与能量密度、相对较小的自放电水平、无记忆效应、无铅镉等重金属元素污染、超长的循环寿命等优点,被认为是最具应用前景的能源之一。锂离子电池被广泛应用于电动车、电动工具、可移动电子消费品以及储能等诸多方面。
目前最常用的锂离子电池正极材料主要有磷酸铁锂、镍钴锰(铝)酸锂三元材料(俗称三元材料)、钴酸锂、锰酸锂等,负极应用最多的是碳基石墨材料以及硅基负极材料等。虽然锂离子电池有很多优点,但是锂离子电池在首次充电过程中,负极表面通常伴随着固态电解质膜SEI膜的形成,这个过程会消耗大量的Li+,意味着从正极材料脱出的Li+部分被不可逆消耗,对应电芯的可逆比容量降低。负极材料特别是硅基负极材料则会进一步消耗Li+,造成正极材料的锂损失,降低电池的首次库伦效率和电池容量。如在使用石墨负极的锂离子电池体系中,首次充电会消耗约10%的锂源。当采用高比容量的负极材料,例如合金类(硅、锡等)、氧化物类(氧化硅、氧化锡)和无定形碳负极时,正极锂源的消耗将进一步加剧。
为改善由于负极不可逆损耗引起的低库伦效率问题,研究者开发出了相关富锂化合物,作为补锂添加剂来解决首次充放电锂离子不可逆损耗的问题。
虽然该些富锂化合物具有良好的补锂作用,但是也存在一些不足,如现有材料制备工艺及原料性质问题,经常会导致原料反应不完全(也即残碱较高),导致材料对水敏感,匀浆时容易发生凝胶导致加工失败,甚至与水反应发生变质。因此,加工过程对水控制要求极其严格,难以在现有电池产线上进行大规模应用。由于碱较高也会导致富锂化合物的补锂效果等电化学性能有待提高。同时,由于高电压情况下,富锂金属盐类补锂材料与电解液容易在界面发生反应生成危险性气体,存在一定的安全隐患。而且,这些材料自身的导电性并不好,导致材料电性能发挥较差,无法较好发挥补锂作用。

另外,根据补锂材料的种类如为正极补锂材料或负极补锂材料,决定了本申请实施例正极补锂添加剂的种类,如为正极补锂添加剂。
其次,上述各实施例正极补锂添加剂的形貌和粒径大小可以根据实际的生产条件或应用的需要进行调整,如形貌可以但限于颗粒形貌,粒径可以但限于1-20μm,进一步为2-20μm。通过对正极补锂添加剂的形貌和粒径等进行控制和调节,可以实现对本申请实施例正极补锂添加剂整体粒径进行控制和调节,从而充分发挥补锂材料的补锂效果。
在上述各实施例的基础上,作为本申请实施例中,本申请实施例正极补锂添加剂还包括疏水封装层。疏水封装层包覆上文补锂材料形成的核体。如当结合在补锂材料表面的疏水氟化锂形成包覆层时,该疏水封装层包覆在氟化锂包覆层外表面。通过对本申请实施例正极补锂添加剂增设该疏水封装层,该疏水封装层能够有效包覆上文补锂材料,通过该疏水封装层包覆上文补锂材料,从而提高上文补锂材料与外界隔离效果,避免外界中如水分和二氧化碳与上文补锂材料的接触,保证上文补锂材料的稳定性从而保证本申请正极补锂添加剂的补锂效果和补锂的稳定性。
当本申请实施例正极补锂添加剂含有上述疏水封装层时,该疏水封装层可以是能够有效隔绝环境中的如水汽或二氧化碳等不利因素的层结构,那么其材料可以是能够形成致密疏水包覆层而有效保证颗粒状补锂材料稳定性的材料。在此基础上,该疏水封装层的材料还可以是能够利于离子传导的离子导体封装层,也可以是利于提高导电性的电子导体封装层,当然也可以是离子导体封装层与电子导体封装层的复合层结构。当疏水封装层为离子导体封装层与电子导体封装层的复合层结构时,该离子导体封装层或电子导体封装层任一层可以直接包覆在表面结合有氟化锂的上文颗粒状补锂材料的表面。其中,离子导体封装层能够改善补锂材料对锂离子的嵌脱效果和锂离子的离子导率。电子导体封装层能够改善补锂材料的电子导率,提高其导导电性能,激发正极补锂添加剂的克容量发挥,实现真正意义上的高效补锂。
当疏水封装层包括离子导体封装层时,该离子导体封装层起到提高锂离子导率作用。因此,该离子导体封装层的材料可以是有利于离子导率提高的材料, 如可以但不仅仅包括钙钛矿型、NASICON型、石榴石型中的至少一种。具体实施例中,钙钛矿型包括Li3xLa2/3-xTiO3(LLTO),具体如Li0.5La0.5TiO3、Li0.33La0.57TiO3、Li0.29La0.57TiO3、Li0.33Ba0.25La0.39TiO3、(Li0.33La0.56)1.005Ti0.99Al0.01O3、Li0.5La0.5Ti0.95Zr0.05O3等中的至少一种,NASICON型如但不仅仅为Li1.4Al0.4Ti1.6(PO4)3(LATP),石榴石型包括Li7La3Zr2O12(LLZO)、Li6·4La3Zr1·4Ta0·6O12,Li6.5La3Zr1.5Ta0.5O12中的至少一种。通过对离子导体封装层材料选择,能够进一步提高离子导体封装层离子电导率。
当疏水封装层包括电子导体封装层时,该电子导体封装层能够增强疏水封装层的电子电导率,从而增强正极补锂添加剂的电子电导率,有利于减小电极内部的阻抗。同时,在上述颗粒状补锂材料作为“牺牲品”释放过程中和释放完毕之后,电子导体封装层还可以进行二次利用,在电极内部起到导电剂的辅助作用。而且该电子导体封装层或进一步与离子导体封装层起到致密性的增效作用,提高疏水封装层的致密性,从而提高正极补锂添加剂的补锂稳定性和补锂效果。基于电子导体封装层的作用,可以是电子导体封装层全包覆,也可以是部分包覆。实施例中,电子导体封装层的材料包括碳材料、导电氧化物、导电有机物中的至少一种。具体实施例中,电子导体封装层的材料为碳材料时,碳材料包括无定形碳、碳纳米管、石墨、炭黑、石墨烯等中的至少一种。另些具体实施例中,电子导体封装层的材料为导电氧化物时,导电氧化物可以包括In2O3、ZnO、SnO2中的至少一种。导电有机物可以是导电聚合物等。通过调节电子导体封装层的含量和材料,能够进一步提高其电子电导率。
进一步实施例中,疏水封装层的厚度可以为5-100nm。如可以通过控制上文疏水封装层所含的离子导体封装层、电子导体封装层的厚度进行调节。将疏水封装层厚度的控制在该范围,能够提高疏水封装层的致密性,进一步提高正极补锂添加剂的存储稳定性和加工稳定性,同时提高正极补锂添加剂的离子和/或电子导率。
另外,疏水封装层还可以根据需要包括其他功能层,其他功能层的种类可 以根据需要进行灵活选择。
实施例中,当本申请实施例正极补锂添加剂含有疏水封装层时,形成核体的补锂材料可以是补锂材料的一次颗粒、二次颗粒中的至少一种。
第二方面,本申请实施例还提供了上文正极补锂添加剂的制备方法。本申请实施例正极补锂添加剂的制备方法包括以下步骤:
S01:将补锂材料前驱体与氟源进行混合处理,得到前驱体混合物料;
S02:将前驱体混合物料于惰性气氛中烧结处理,得到正极补锂添加剂。
其中,步骤S01中的补锂材料前驱体为形成上文本申请实施例正极补锂添加剂所含补锂材料的前驱体,如实施例中,该补锂材料前驱体可以是包括LxMyOz前驱体。那么该补锂材料前驱体经步骤S02中的烧结处理后,其生成如上文的如LxMyOz
步骤S01中的氟源是提供氟原子,因此,实施例中,该氟源包括氟化铵、氟化钠、氟化钾、氟化锂、氟化铝、氟氢化钾、氟氢化钠中的至少一种。该些氟源能够在步骤S02中的烧结处理过程中,氟原子能够替代在烧结处理过程中生成的补锂材料所含的氧原子。
实施例中,该氟源与补锂材料前驱体的混合比例,应该满足在生成的正极补锂添加剂中,替代氧原子的氟原子是正极补锂添加剂中氧原子摩尔数的0.01-0.1倍。如实施例中,该补锂材料前驱体包括过渡金属盐、锂源等原料形成的混合物时,那么此时补锂材料前驱体中含有氧元素,如补锂材料前驱体为LxMyOz的前驱体时,那么在此时该氟源中的氟元素与过渡金属盐中氧元素的摩尔比为0.01-1:1,进一步为0.01-0.1:1,更进一步为0.02-0.2:1。通过对氟源的混合比例,能够适度的控制氟原子取代氧原子的量,从而提高制备正极补锂添加剂的倍率性能、电压和热稳定性能等性能,并同时还调节控制正极补锂添加剂的粒径,使得其粒径相对较小。
在具体实施例中,包括过渡金属盐、锂源等原料形成的混合物是补锂材料前驱体中,该过渡金属盐可以是LxMyOz中M所示的过渡金属,如可以但不仅 仅包括草酸铵铁、硝酸铁(锰、铜)、硫酸铁(锰、铜)、氯化铁(锰、铜)、三氧化二铁(二氧化锰、氧化亚锰,氧化铜、氧化亚铜)、乙酸铁其中的一种或多种,锂源可以但不仅仅包括LiOH、Li2CO3、CH3COOLi、CH3CH2OLi、LiNO3、LiCl、Li2SO4中的至少一种。
另外,步骤S01中的混合处理可以是固相混合处理还可以是液相混合法。其中,固相混合处理如可以包括固相球磨机混合、豆浆机混合、三维混料机混合、高效混料机混合、融合机混合等中至少一种。液相混合法可以包括搅拌混合、液相混合后喷雾干燥、溶胶凝胶法等。当采用喷雾干燥时,则还可以添加分散剂,分散剂为聚乙烯吡咯烷酮(PVP)、聚乙二醇(PEG)、聚乙烯醇中的一种或多种,该分散剂添加量可以为过渡金属盐以及铁源质量总质量的1-5%,喷雾干燥的进风温度为110-180℃。
步骤S02中,前驱体混合物料在烧结处理过程中,前驱体混合物料中的补锂材料前驱体反应生成补锂材料,如上文的补锂材料。在此过程中,氟源也参与了反应,由于氟原子和氧原子的直径相差较小,而且由于氟原子和氧原子的直径相差较小,在高温作用下,容易发生部分替代,也即氟替代氧原子,这样氟原子替代了补锂材料中的部分氧原子,占据了氧原子的氧空位。
实施例中,该烧结处理的温度为500-1000℃,时间为4-24h。该烧结处理条件如惰性气氛和该温度范围,能够有效使得补锂材料前驱体反应生成补锂材料。同时,生成的正极补锂添加剂是稳定性较好的材料,反应活性并不高,因此,氟源很难也即是几乎不与和正极补锂添加剂直接发生反应生成氟化物,而是使得氟原子替代了补锂材料中的氧原子,且不破坏补锂材料自身的结构。而正极补锂添加剂表面的残碱或者锂金属是反应活性较高的物质,因此,其可以与氟源更容易反应生成氟化物。从而提高补锂材料的电压和热稳定等性能,提升烧结处理生成的正极补锂添加剂电化学性能和其安全性能。
另外,在烧结处理中,由于烧结处理生成的补锂材料表层或表面一般还残留有前驱体原料或其他残碱等杂质,因此,该氟源在烧结过程中还会与生成补 锂材料表层或表面残留的该些前驱体原料或其他残碱等杂质反应,从而生成疏水氟化物,如可以是氟化锂等,从而起到提高正极补锂添加剂的离子导率和隔绝环境等作用。
步骤S02中,惰性气氛保证烧结处理生成目标产物的稳定性,如实施例中,可以是化学惰性气体构成的气氛,实施例中,该化学惰性气体可以是常规的化学惰性气体,如Ar、N2、He等中的至少一种。
在进一步实施例中,在上述烧结处理后,还包括在补锂材料表面形成疏水封装层的步骤。形成疏水封装层的方法可以根据膜层结构和材料选取对应或适合方法形成。如实施例中,当疏水封装层为碳包覆层时,该碳包覆层可以是使用固态碳源进行热裂解包覆。如果采用固态碳源包覆,则首先将上述经裂解处理后的正极补锂添加剂经破碎后的材料与固相碳源混合,混合方法包含球磨机固相混合、豆浆机混合、三维混料机混合、高效混料机混合、融合机混合等至少其中一种。混合后在惰性条件下进行烧结。碳源可以是葡萄糖、蔗糖、淀粉、柠檬酸、纤维素、聚四氟乙烯(PTFE)、聚偏氟乙烯(PVDF)、沥青等其中的至少一种。惰性气氛可以为Ar、N2、He中的至少一种。烧结温度可以为400-800℃,时间为1-10h。该烧结处理能够使得碳包覆层均匀,且致密,如果温度过低,碳源会难以裂解,达不到碳包覆效果,如果温度过高,可能导致碳源裂解太快,造成碳包覆不均匀。最终碳和补锂材料的质量比控制可以为(2-20):100,该混合比例如果最终碳含量太低,碳无法对补锂材料进行完整的包覆,材料表面导电性会存在缺陷位置;如果碳含量太高,碳自身容量较低,会使材料整体的容量下降。
因此,上述正极补锂添加剂的制备方法通过氟源对补锂材料进行原位掺杂,能够有效在补锂材料中掺杂氟原子,并取代补锂材料所含氧原子,从而赋予制备的正极补锂添加剂具有高的倍率性能、电压和热稳定性能,提高了补锂材料的补锂效果和电化学性能以及安全性高。另外,正极补锂添加剂的制备方法能够保证制备的正极补锂添加剂结构和电化学性能稳定,而且效率高,节约生产 成本。
第三方面,本申请实施例还提供了一种电极片。本申请实施例电极片包括电极集流体和结合在电极集流体表面的电极活性层,电极活性层中含有上文本申请实施例电极正极补锂添加剂。由于本申请实施例电极片含有上述本申请实施例电极正极补锂添加剂,因此,在充放电中过程中,电极片所含的正极补锂添加剂发挥上文作用,能够作为锂源在首圈充电过程中作为“牺牲剂”首先被消耗,用以补充负极形成SEI膜而消耗掉的不可逆的锂离子,从而保持电池体系内锂离子的充裕,提高电池首效和整体电化学性能。而且电极片质量稳定且良品率高。
在一实施例中,电极活性层中所含上文本申请实施例电极正极补锂添加剂的质量含量可以为1-20wt%;优选地,2-10wt%。电极活性层包括除了该电极正极补锂添加剂之外,还包括电极活性材料、粘结剂和导电剂,其中,粘结剂可以是常用的电极粘结剂,如包括聚偏氯乙烯、可溶性聚四氟乙烯、丁苯橡胶、羟丙基甲基纤维素、甲基纤维素、羧甲基纤维素、聚乙烯醇、丙烯腈共聚物、海藻酸钠、壳聚糖和壳聚糖衍生物中的一种或多种。本申请实施方式中,导电剂可以是常用的导电剂,如包括石墨、碳黑、乙炔黑、石墨烯、碳纤维、C60和碳纳米管中的一种或多种。电极活性材料可以是正极活性材料或负极活性材料,具体实施例中,正极活性材料包括钴酸锂、锰酸锂、磷酸铁锂、磷酸锰铁锂、磷酸钒锂,磷酸钒氧锂、氟代磷酸钒锂、钛酸锂、镍钴锰酸锂、镍钴铝酸锂中的一种或多种。
实施例中,电极片制备过程可以为:将电极活性材料、电极正极补锂添加剂、导电剂与粘结剂混合得到电极浆料,将电极浆料涂布在电极集流体上,经干燥、辊压、模切等步骤制备得到电极片。
第四方面,本申请实施例还提供了一种二次电池。本申请实施例二次电池包括正极片、负极片、隔膜和电解质等必要的部件,当然还包括其他必要或辅助的部件。其中,正极片或/和负极片为上述本申请实施例电极片,具体地,当 上述电极片为正极片,且含有上文本申请实施例正极补锂添加剂,并且该正极补锂添加剂为正极补锂添加剂,那么二次电池所含的正极片为上述本申请实施例电极片(正极片)。
由于本申请实施例二次电池中含有上文本申请实施例正极补锂添加剂,基于上文本申请实施例正极补锂添加剂所具有优异补锂性能或进一步具有离子传导性和/或电子传导性、加工性能,赋予本申请实施例二次电池优异的首次库伦效率和电池容量以及循环性能,寿命长,电化学性能稳定。

3.锂离子电池相关性能测试
将上述锂离子电池实施例中组装的各锂离子电池相关电化学性能进行测试,测试条件为:
测试条件:将装配好的电池在25℃恒温室内上架,搁置6h后进行充放电测试。首先以0.05C恒流充至4.3V,再恒压充至截止电流为0.01C停止,再以0.05C放电至2V,第二圈开始充放电电压窗口调整为2-3.75V,以0.05C充放电,恒压充电截止电流为0.01C,以该充放电条件循环至100圈。记录电池首次充放电容量,以及第100圈充放电容量。
首次库伦效率为首次放电容量和首次充电容量的比值,100圈容量保持率为第100圈放电容量和首次放电容量的比值。
锂离子电池相关电化学性能如下表1所示:
表1
从表格中实施例和对比例的数据结果可以看出:当补锂材料经过氟掺杂以及碳包覆之后,具体如实施例1和实施例2中的正极补锂添加剂。由于表面反应以及碳沉积,在均含有碳包覆层的前提下,含氟掺杂核体的正极补锂添加剂的粒径略大于非氟掺杂核体的正极补锂添加剂的粒径,具体如实施例1的材料粒径D50要大于对比例例1,实施例2的材料粒径D50要大于对比例例2。通过实施例和对比例的扣电测试数据对比结果可以看出:实施例1和实施例2首次充电容量和放电容量都相对对比例1和对比例2明显提高,首效相对对比例1和对比例2明显也得以明显提高,这是由于氟掺杂和碳包覆之后补锂材料的结构更加稳定,加工环境中水分的影响也变得更弱,也即材料变质更少,从而能发挥更高的充电容量。另外,由于补锂材料首次脱锂之后,几乎不再嵌锂,也即不再参与电池中的电化学反应,经过氟掺杂的材料,脱锂之后材料的结构稳定,且由于碳包覆之后材料具有良好导电性,从而脱锂之后还可以作为导电剂在电池内发挥导电剂作用。因此,理想的是,将本申请实施例正极补锂添加剂设计为核壳结构,将氟原子替代氧空位的补锂材料作为核体,以提高本申请实施例正极补锂添加剂的高压和热稳定性以及补锂效果等特性,从而提高相应电池的循环性能和安全性能。
以上数据可以很好证明添加少量本申请实施例正极补锂添加剂,就可以使电池容量和首效以及循环性能得以明显改善,能有效提升电池能量密度,具有良好的发展前景。
以上实施例仅表达了本申请的几种实施方式,其描述较为具体和详细,但并不能因此而理解为对本申请专利范围的限制。应当指出的是,对于本领域的 普通技术人员来说,在不脱离本申请构思的前提下,还可以做出若干变形和改进,这些都属于本申请的保护范围。因此,本申请专利的保护范围应以所附权利要求为准。
