具体实施方式
以下,适当地参照附图详细说明具体公开了本申请的二次电池、电池模块、电池包和用电装置的实施方式。但是会有省略不必要的详细说明的情况。例如,有省略对已众所周知的事项的详细说明、实际相同结构的重复说明的情况。这是为了避免以下的说明不必要地变得冗长,便于本领域技术人员的理解。此外,附图及以下说明是为了本领域技术人员充分理解本申请而提供的,并不旨在限定权利要求书所记载的主题。
本申请所公开的“范围”以下限和上限的形式来限定,给定范围是通过选定一个下限和一个上限进行限定的,选定的下限和上限限定了特别范围的边界。这种方式进行限定的范围可以是包括端值或不包括端值的,并且可以进行任意地组合,即任何下限可以与任何上限组合形成一个范围。例如,如果针对特定参数列出了60-120和80-110的范围,理解为60-110和80-120的范围也是预料到的。此外,如果列出的最小范围值1和2,和如果列出了最大范围值3,4和5,则下面的范围可全部预料到:1-3、1-4、1-5、2-3、2-4和2-5。在本申请中,除非有其他说明,数值范围“a-b”表示a到b之间的任意实数组合的缩略表示,其中a和b都是实数。例如数值范围“0-5”表示本文中已经全部列出了“0-5”之间的全部实数,“0-5”只是这些数值组合的缩略表示。另外,当表述某个参数为≥2的整数,则相当于公开了该参数为例如整数2、3、4、5、6、7、8、9、10、11、12等。
如果没有特别的说明,本申请的所有实施方式以及可选实施方式可以相互组合形成新的技术方案。
如果没有特别的说明,本申请的所有技术特征以及可选技术特征可以相互组合形成新的技术方案。
如果没有特别的说明,本申请的所有步骤可以顺序进行,也可以随机进行,优选是顺序进行的。例如,所述方法包括步骤(a)和(b),表示所述方法可包括顺序进行的步骤(a)和(b),也可以包括顺序进行的步骤(b)和(a)。例如,所述提到所述方法还可包括步骤(c),表示步骤(c)可以任意顺序加入到所述方法,例如,所述方法可以包括步骤(a)、(b)和(c),也可包括步骤(a)、(c)和(b),也可以包括步骤(c)、(a)和(b)等。
如果没有特别的说明,本申请所提到的“包括”和“包含”表示开放式,也可以是封闭式。例如,所述“包括”和“包含”可以表示还可以包括或包含没有列出的其他组分,也可以仅包括或包含列出的组分。
如果没有特别的说明,在本申请中,术语“或”是包括性的。举例来说,短语“A或B”表示“A,B,或A和B两者”。更具体地,以下任一条件均满足条件“A或B”:A为真(或存在)并且B为假(或不存在);A为假(或不存在)而B为真(或存在);或A和B都为真(或存在)。
需要说明的是,在本文中,术语“包覆层”是指包覆在磷酸锰锂内核上的物质层,所述物质层可以完全或部分地包覆磷酸锰锂内核,使用“包覆层”只是为了便于描述,并不意图限制本发明。同样地,术语“包覆层的厚度”是指包覆在磷酸锰锂内核上的所述物质层在磷酸锰锂内核径向上的厚度。
本申请发明人在实际作业中发现,目前现有的磷酸锰锂正极活性材料在深度充放电过程中,锰离子溶出比较严重。虽然现有技术中有尝试对磷酸锰锂进行磷酸铁锂包覆,从而减少界面副反应,但这种包覆无法阻止溶出的锰继续向电解液中迁移。溶出的锰在迁移到负极后,被还原成金属锰。这样产生的金属锰相当于“催化剂”,能够催化负极表面的SEI膜(solid electrolyte interphase,固态电解质界面膜)分解,产生副产物;所述副产物的一部分为气体,因此导致会二次电池发生膨胀,影响二次电池的安全性能;另外,所述副产物的另一部分沉积在负极表面,会阻碍锂离子进出负极的通道,造成二次电池阻抗增加,从而影响二次电池的动力学性能。此外,为补充损失的SEI膜,电解液和电池内部的活性锂被不断消耗,会给二次电池容量保持率带来不可逆的影响。
发明人在进行大量研究后发现,通过对磷酸锰锂进行改性以及对磷酸锰锂的多层包覆,能够得到一种新型的具有核-壳结构的正极活性材料,所述正极活性材料能够实现显著降低的锰离子溶出以及降低的晶格变化率,其用于二次电池中,能够改善电池的循环性能、倍率性能、安全性能并且提高电池的容量。
[二次电池]

通常情况下,二次电池包括正极极片、负极极片、隔离膜及电解液。在电池充放电过程中,活性离子(例如锂离子)在正极极片和负极极片之间往返嵌入和脱出。隔离膜设置在正极极片和负极极片之间,主要起到防止正负极短路的作用,同时可以使活性离子通过。电解液在正极极片和负极极片之间,主要起到传导活性离子的作用。
本申请的一个实施方式提供一种二次电池,包括正极极片以及非水电解液,其中,正极极片包括具有核-壳结构的正极活性材料,正极活性材料包括内核及包覆内核的壳,内核的化学式为Li 1+xMn 1-yA yP 1-zR zO 4,其中x为在-0.100-0.100范围内的任意数值,y为在0.001-0.500范围内的任意数值,z为在0.001-0.100范围内的任意数值,A为选自Zn、Al、Na、K、Mg、Mo、W、Ti、V、Zr、Fe、Ni、Co、Ga、Sn、 Sb、Nb和Ge组成的组中的一种或多种元素,可选为Fe、Ti、V、Ni、Co和Mg中一种或多种元素,R为选自B、Si、N和S组成的组中的一种或多种元素,可选地,R为选自B、Si、N和S中的一种元素;x、y和z的值满足以下条件:使整个内核保持电中性;壳包括包覆内核的第一包覆层、包覆第一包覆层的第二包覆层以及包覆第二包覆层的第三包覆层,其中,第一包覆层包括晶态焦磷酸盐Li aMP 2O 7和/或M b(P 2O 7) c,其中,0≤a≤2,1≤b≤4,1≤c≤6,a、b和c的值满足以下条件:使晶态焦磷酸盐Li aMP 2O 7或M b(P 2O 7) c保持电中性,晶态焦磷酸盐Li aMP 2O 7和M b(P 2O 7) c中的M各自独立地为选自Fe、Ni、Mg、Co、Cu、Zn、Ti、Ag、Zr、Nb和Al组成的组中的一种或多种元素,第二包覆层包括晶态磷酸盐XPO 4,其中,X为选自Li、Fe、Ni、Mg、Co、Cu、Zn、Ti、Ag、Zr、Nb和Al组成的组中的一种或多种元素,第三包覆层为碳;
非水电解液包括第一添加剂,所述第一添加剂包括式1所示化合物、式2所示化合物组成的组中的一种或多种,

R 1、R 2各自独立地表示氢原子、卤原子、C1~C6的烷基、C1~C6的卤代烷基、C1~C6的烷氧基、C2~C6的烯基、C2~C6的炔基中的任意一种;
R 3、R 4、R 5、R 6各自独立地表示氢原子、卤原子、C1~C6的烷基、C1~C6的卤代烷基、C1~C6的烷氧基、C2~C6的烯基、C2~C6的炔基、C2~C6的炔氧基中的任意一种,并且R 3、R 4、R 5、R 6不同时表示氢原子。
正极极片通常包括正极集流体以及设置在正极集流体至少一个表面的正极膜层,正极膜层包括正极活性材料。
作为示例,正极集流体具有在其自身厚度方向相对的两个表面,正极膜层设置在正极集流体相对的两个表面的其中任意一者或两者上。
在一些实施方式中,正极集流体可采用金属箔片或复合集流体。例如,作为金属箔片,可采用铝箔。复合集流体可包括高分子材料基层和形成于高分子材料基层 至少一个表面上的金属层。复合集流体可通过将金属材料(铝、铝合金、镍、镍合金、钛、钛合金、银及银合金等)形成在高分子材料基材(如聚丙烯(PP)、聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)、聚对苯二甲酸丁二醇酯(PBT)、聚苯乙烯(PS)、聚乙烯(PE)等的基材)上而形成。
除非另有说明,否则上述内核的化学式中,当A为两种以上元素时,上述对于y数值范围的限定不仅是对每种作为A的元素的化学计量数的限定,也是对各个作为A的元素的化学计量数之和的限定。例如当A为两种以上元素A1、A2……An时,A1、A2……An各自的化学计量数y1、y2……yn各自均需落入本申请对y限定的数值范围内,且y1、y2……yn之和也需落入该数值范围内。类似地,对于R为两种以上元素的情况,本申请中对R化学计量数的数值范围的限定也具有上述含义。
在一个可选的实施方式中,当A为选自Zn、Al、Na、K、Mg、Mo、W、Ti、V、Zr、Fe、Ni、Co、Ga、Sn、Sb、Nb和Ge中的一种、两种、三种或四种元素时,A y为Q n1D n2E n3K n4,其中n1+n2+n3+n4=y,且n1、n2、n3、n4均为正数且不同时为零,Q、D、E、K各自独立地为选自Zn、Al、Na、K、Mg、Mo、W、Ti、V、Zr、Fe、Ni、Co、Ga、Sn、Sb、Nb和Ge的一种,可选地,Q、D、E、K中至少一个为Fe。可选地,n1、n2、n3、n4之一为零,其余不为零;更可选地,n1、n2、n3、n4中的两个为零,其余不为零;还可选地,n1、n2、n3、n4中的三个为零,其余不为零。所述内核Li 1+xMn 1-yA yP 1-zR zO 4中,在锰位掺杂一种、两种、三种或四种上述A元素是有利的,可选地,掺杂一种、两种或三种上述A元素;此外,在磷位掺杂一种或两种R元素是有利的,这样有利于使掺杂元素均匀分布。
内核Li 1+xMn 1-yA yP 1-zR zO 4中,x的大小受A和R的价态大小以及y和z的大小的影响,以保证整个体系呈现电中性。如果x的值过小,会导致整个内核体系的含锂量降低,影响材料的克容量发挥。y值会限制所有掺杂元素的总量,如果y过小,即掺杂量过少,掺杂元素起不到作用,如果y超过0.5,会导致体系中的Mn含量较少,影响材料的电压平台。所述R元素掺杂在P的位置,由于P-O四面体较稳定,而z值过大会影响材料的稳定性,因此将z值限定为0.001-0.100。
本申请的正极活性材料能够提高二次电池的克容量、循环性能和安全性能。虽然机理尚不清楚,但推测是本申请的磷酸锰锂正极活性材料为核-壳结构,其中通过对磷酸锰锂内核的锰位和磷位分别掺杂元素A和元素R,不仅可有效减少锰离子溶出,进而减少迁移到负极的锰离子,减少因SEI膜分解而消耗的电解液,提高二次电池的循环性能和安全性能,还能够促进Mn-O键调整,降低锂离子迁移势垒,促进锂离子迁移,提高二次电池的倍率性能;通过对内核包覆包括晶态焦磷酸盐的第一包覆层,能够进一步增大锰的迁移阻力,减少其溶出,并减少表面杂锂含量、减少内核与电解液的接触,从而减少界面副反应、减少产气,提高二次电池的高温存储性能、循环性能和安全性能;通过进一步包覆具有优异导锂离子的能力的晶态磷酸盐包覆层,可以使正极活性材料的表面的界面副反应有效降低,进而改善二次电 池的高温循环及存储性能;通过再进一步包覆碳层作为第三包覆层,能够进一步提升二次电池的安全性能和动力学性能。
此外,在内核中,在磷酸锰锂的锰位掺杂的元素A还有助于减小该材料在脱嵌锂过程中磷酸锰锂的晶格变化率,提高磷酸锰锂正极材料的结构稳定性,大大减少锰的溶出并降低颗粒表面的氧活性;在磷位掺杂的元素R还有助于改变Mn-O键长变化的难易程度,从而改善电子电导并降低锂离子迁移势垒,促进锂离子迁移,提高二次电池的倍率性能。
另外,整个内核体系保持电中性,能够保证正极活性材料中的缺陷和杂相尽量少。如果正极活性材料中存在过量的过渡金属(例如锰),由于该材料体系本身结构较稳定,那么多余的过渡金属很可能会以单质的形式析出,或在晶格内部形成杂相,保持电中性可使这样的杂相尽量少。另外,保证体系电中性还可以在部分情况下使材料中产生锂空位,从而使材料的动力学性能更优异,进而提高了二次电池的动力学性能。
同时,非水电解液中引入第一添加剂,在锂离子电池充电过程中在包覆层表面形成一层聚合物,防止包覆层溶解,减小锰离子溶出,同时降低包覆碳的催化活性,减小活性锂消耗,进一步改善了二次电池的高温循环和存储性能。
A元素和R元素掺杂后的磷酸锰锂的XRD图中的主要特征峰位置与未掺杂的LiMnPO 4的一致,说明掺杂过程没有引入杂质相,因此,内核性能的改善主要是来自元素掺杂,而不是杂相导致的。本申请发明人在制备上述正极活性材料后,通过聚焦离子束(简称FIB)切取已制备好的正极活性材料颗粒的中间区域,通过透射电子显微镜(简称TEM)以及X射线能谱分析(简称EDS)进行测试发现,各元素分布均匀,未出现聚集。
本申请中,晶态意指结晶度在50%以上,即50%-100%。结晶度小于50%的称为玻璃态。本申请晶态焦磷酸盐和晶态磷酸盐的结晶度为50%至100%。具备一定结晶度的焦磷酸盐和磷酸盐不但有利于充分发挥焦磷酸盐包覆层阻碍锰离子溶出和磷酸盐包覆层优异的导锂离子的能力、减少界面副反应的功能,而且能够使得焦磷酸盐包覆层和磷酸盐包覆层能够更好的进行晶格匹配,从而能够实现包覆层更紧密的结合。
本申请中,正极活性材料的第一包覆层物质晶态焦磷酸盐和第二包覆层物质晶态磷酸盐的结晶度可以通过本领域中常规的技术手段来测试,例如通过密度法、红外光谱法、差示扫描量热法和核磁共振吸收方法测量,也可以通过例如,X射线衍射法来测试。
具体的X射线衍射法测试正极活性材料的第一包覆层晶态焦磷酸盐和第二包覆层晶态磷酸盐的结晶度的方法可以包括以下步骤:
取一定量的正极活性材料粉末,通过X射线测得总散射强度,它是整个空间物 质的散射强度之和,只与初级射线的强度、正极活性材料粉末化学结构、参加衍射的总电子数即质量多少有关,而与样品的序态无关;然后从衍射图上将结晶散射和非结晶散射分开,结晶度即是结晶部分散射对散射总强度之比。
需要说明的是,在本申请中,包覆层中的焦磷酸盐和磷酸盐的结晶度例如可通过调整烧结过程的工艺条件例如烧结温度、烧结时间等进行调节。
本申请中,由于金属离子在焦磷酸盐中难以迁移,因此焦磷酸盐作为第一包覆层可以将掺杂金属离子与电解液进行有效隔离。晶态焦磷酸盐的结构稳定,因此,晶态焦磷酸盐包覆能够有效抑制过渡金属的溶出,改善循环性能。
第一包覆层与核之间的结合类似于异质结,其结合的牢固程度受晶格匹配程度的限制。晶格失配在5%以下时,晶格匹配较好,两者容易结合紧密。紧密的结合能够保证在后续的循环过程中,包覆层不会脱落,有利于保证材料的长期稳定性。第一包覆层与核之间的结合程度的衡量主要通过计算核与包覆各晶格常数的失配度来进行。本申请中,在所述内核中掺杂了A和R元素后,与不掺杂元素相比,所述内核与第一包覆层的匹配度得到改善,内核与焦磷酸盐包覆层之间能够更紧密地结合在一起。
选择晶态磷酸盐作为第二包覆层,首先,是因为它与第一层包覆物晶态焦磷酸盐的晶格匹配度较高(失配度仅为3%);其次,磷酸盐本身的稳定性好于焦磷酸盐,用其包覆焦磷酸盐有利于提高材料的稳定性。晶态磷酸盐的结构很稳定,其具有优异导锂离子的能力,因此,使用晶态磷酸盐进行包覆能够使正极活性材料的表面的界面副反应得到有效降低,从而改善二次电池的高温循环及存储性能。第二包覆层和第一包覆层之间的晶格匹配方式等,与上述第一包覆层和核之间的结合情况相似,晶格失配在5%以下时,晶格匹配较好,两者容易结合紧密。
碳作为第三层包覆的主要原因是碳层的电子导电性较好。由于在二次电池中应用时发生的是电化学反应,需要有电子的参与,因此,为了增加颗粒与颗粒之间的电子传输,以及颗粒上不同位置的电子传输,可以使用具有优异导电性能的碳来对正极活性材料进行包覆。碳包覆可有效改善正极活性材料的导电性能和去溶剂化能力。
本申请的各包覆层可以是完全包覆,也可以是部分包覆。

本申请中,每一层的包覆量均不为零。
上述实施方式中的具有核-壳结构的正极活性材料中,三层包覆层的包覆量优选在上述范围内,由此能够对所述内核进行充分包覆,并同时在不牺牲正极活性材料克容量的前提下,进一步改善二次电池的动力学性能和安全性能。
对于第一包覆层而言,通过包覆量在上述范围内,则能够避免以下情况:包覆量过少则意味着包覆层厚度较薄,可能无法有效阻碍过渡金属的迁移;包覆量过大则意味着包覆层过厚,会影响Li +的迁移,进而影响材料的倍率性能。
对于第二包覆层而言,通过包覆量在上述范围内,则能够避免以下情况:包覆量过多,可能会影响材料整体的平台电压;包覆量过少,可能无法实现足够的包覆效果。
对于第三包覆层而言,碳包覆主要起到增强颗粒间的电子传输的作用,然而由于结构中还含有大量的无定形碳,因此碳的密度较低,因此,如果包覆量过大,会影响极片的压实密度。
上述实施方式的具有核-壳结构的正极活性材料中,三层包覆层的包覆量优选在上述范围内,由此能够对内核进行充分包覆,并同时在不牺牲正极活性材料克容量的前提下,进一步改善二次电池的动力学性能和安全性能。
在一些实施方式中,定义W1/(C1+C2+C3)的比值为Q,Q为0.05至1(比如为0.05、0.1、0.2、0.3、0.4、0.5、0.6、0.7、0.8、0.9或1),可选为0.1至1。通过控制Q值在上述范围内,避免当Q值小于上述范围时,不能保证足够的第一添加剂作用于包覆层上,抑制锰离子溶出和减小包覆碳催化氧化电解液分解效果不显著,进而不能显著改善高温循环和存储性能;当Q值大于上述范围时,过多的添加剂作用于包覆层上,使得正极阻抗太大,锂离子电池的克容量和倍率性能提升受到影响。
在任意实施方式中,第一包覆层中的晶态焦磷酸盐的晶面间距范围为0.293-0.470nm,晶向(111)的夹角范围为18.00°-32.00°;第二包覆层中的晶态磷酸盐的晶面间距范围为0.244-0.425nm,晶向(111)的夹角范围为20.00°-37.00°。
对于包覆层中的晶态焦磷酸盐和晶态磷酸盐,可通过本领域中常规的技术手段进行表征,也可以例如借助透射电镜(TEM)进行表征。在TEM下,通过测试晶面间距可以区分内核和包覆层。
包覆层中的晶态焦磷酸盐和晶态磷酸盐的晶面间距和夹角的具体测试方法可以包括以下步骤:
取一定量的经包覆的正极活性材料样品粉末于试管中,并在试管中注入溶剂如酒精,然后进行充分搅拌分散,然后用干净的一次性塑料吸管取适量上述溶液滴加在300目铜网上,此时,部分粉末将在铜网上残留,将铜网连带样品转移至TEM样品腔中进行测试,得到TEM测试原始图片,保存原始图片。
将上述TEM测试所得原始图片在衍射仪软件中打开,并进行傅里叶变换得到衍射花样,量取衍射花样中衍射光斑到中心位置的距离,即可得到晶面间距,夹角根据布拉格方程进行计算得到。
晶态焦磷酸盐的晶面间距范围和晶态磷酸盐的存在差异,可通过晶面间距的数值直接进行判断。
上述实施方式的正极活性材料中的第一包覆层和第二包覆层均使用晶态物质,它们的晶面间距和夹角范围在上述范围内。由此,能够有效避免包覆层中的杂质相,从而提升材料的克容量,循环性能和倍率性能。而且在上述晶面间距和夹角范围内的晶态焦磷酸盐和晶态磷酸盐,能够更有效地抑制脱嵌锂过程中磷酸锰锂的晶格变化率和锰离子溶出,从而提升二次电池的高温循环性能、循环稳定性和高温储存性能。
在一些实施方式中,在内核中,y与1-y的比值为1:10至1:1,可选为1:4至1:1。在满足上述条件时,使用所述正极活性材料的二次电池的能量密度和循环性能可进一步提升。
在一些实施方式中,在内核中,z与1-z的比值为1:9至1:999,可选为1:499至1:249。此处z表示P位掺杂元素R的化学计量数之和。在满足上述条件时,使用正极活性材料的二次电池的能量密度和循环性能可进一步提升。
在一些实施方式中,第三包覆层的碳为SP2形态碳与SP3形态碳的混合物,可选地,SP2形态碳与SP3形态碳的摩尔比为在0.1-10范围内的任意数值,可选为在2.0-3.0范围内的任意数值。
在一些实施方式中,SP2形态碳与SP3形态碳的摩尔比可为约0.1、约0.2、约03、约0.4、约0.5、约0.6、约0.7、约0.8、约0.9、约1、约2、约3、约4、约5、约6、约7、约8、约9或约10,或在上述任意值的任意范围内。
本申请中,“约”某个数值表示一个范围,表示该数值±10%的范围。
通过选择碳包覆层中碳的形态,从而提升二次电池的综合电性能。具体来说,通过使用SP2形态碳和SP3形态碳的混合形态并将SP2形态碳和SP3形态碳的比例限制在一定范围内,能够避免以下情况:如果包覆层中的碳都是无定形SP3形态,则导电性差;如果都是石墨化的SP2形态,则虽然导电性良好,但是锂离子通路少,不利于锂的脱嵌。另外,将SP2形态碳与SP3形态碳的摩尔比限制在上述范围内,既能实现良好的导电性,又能保证锂离子的通路,因此有利于二次电池功能的优化及其循环性能的改善。
第三包覆层碳的SP2形态和SP3形态的混合比可以通过烧结条件例如烧结温度和烧结时间来控制。例如,在使用蔗糖作为碳源制备第三包覆层的情况下,使蔗糖在高温下进行裂解后,在第二包覆层上沉积同时在高温作用下,会产生既有SP3形 态也有SP2形态的碳包覆层。SP2形态碳和SP3形态碳的比例可以通过选择高温裂解条件和烧结条件来调控。
第三包覆层碳的结构和特征可通过拉曼(Raman)光谱进行测定,具体测试方法如下:通过对Raman测试的能谱进行分峰,得到Id/Ig(其中Id为SP3形态碳的峰强度,Ig为SP2形态碳的峰强度),从而确认两者的摩尔比。
在一些实施方式中,第一包覆层的厚度为1-10nm;和/或第二包覆层的厚度为2-15nm;和/或第三包覆层的厚度为2-25nm。
在一些实施方式中,第一包覆层的厚度可为约2nm、约3nm、约4nm、约5nm、约6nm、约7nm、约8nm、约9nm或约10nm,或在上述任意数值的任意范围内。
在一些实施方式中,第二包覆层的厚度可为约2nm、约3nm、约4nm、约5nm、约6nm、约7nm、约8nm、约9nm、约10nm、约11nm、约12nm、约13nm、约14nm、约15nm,或在上述任意数值的任意范围内。
在一些实施方式中,第三层包覆层的厚度可为约2nm、约3nm、约4nm、约5nm、约6nm、约7nm、约8nm、约9nm、约10nm、约11nm、约12nm、约13nm、约14nm、约15nm、约16nm、约17nm、约18nm、约19nm、约20nm、约21nm、约22nm、约23nm、约24nm或约25nm,或在上述任意数值的任意范围内。
当第一包覆层的厚度范围为1-10nm时,能够避免过厚时可能产生的对材料的动力学性能的不利影响,且能够避免过薄时可能无法有效阻碍过渡金属离子的迁移的问题。
当第二包覆层的厚度在2-15nm范围内时,第二包覆层的表面结构稳定,与电解液的副反应小,因此能够有效减轻界面副反应,从而进一步提升二次电池的高温性能。
当第三包覆层的厚度范围为2-25nm时,能够进一步提升材料的电导性能并且更好地改善使用该正极活性材料制备的电池极片的压密性能。
包覆层的厚度大小测试主要通过FIB进行,具体方法可以包括以下步骤:从待测正极活性材料粉末中随机选取单个颗粒,从所选颗粒中间位置或中间位置附近切取100nm左右厚度的薄片,然后对薄片进行TEM测试,量取包覆层的厚度,测量3-5个位置,取平均值。
在一些实施方式中,基于正极活性材料的重量计,锰元素含量在10重量%-35重量%范围内,可选在15重量%-30重量%范围内,更可选在17重量%-20重量%范围内,磷元素的含量在12重量%-25重量%范围内,可选在15重量%-20重量%范围内,锰元素和磷元素的重量比范围为0.90-1.25,可选为0.95-1.20。
在本申请中,在仅正极活性材料的内核中含有锰的情况下,锰的含量可与内核 的含量相对应。
在上述实施方式中,将锰元素的含量限制在上述范围内,能够有效避免若锰元素含量过大可能会引起的材料结构稳定性变差、密度下降等问题,从而有效提升二次电池的循环、存储和压密等性能;且能够避免若锰元含量过小可能会导致的电压平台低等问题,从而进一步提升二次电池的能量密度。
本上述实施方式中,将磷元素的含量限制在上述范围内,能够有效避免以下情况:若磷元素的含量过大,可能会导致P-O的共价性过强而影响小极化子导电,从而影响材料的电导率;若磷含量过小,可能会使内核、第一包覆层中的焦磷酸盐和/或第二包覆层中的磷酸盐晶格结构的稳定性下降,从而影响材料整体的稳定性。
锰与磷含量重量比大小对二次电池的性能具有以下影响:该重量比过大,意味着锰元素过多,锰离子溶出增加,影响正极活性材料的稳定性和克容量发挥,进而影响二次电池的循环性能及存储性能;该重量比过小,意味着磷元素过多,则容易形成杂相,会使材料的放电电压平台下降,从而使二次电池的能量密度降低。
锰元素和磷元素的测量可采用本领域中常规的技术手段进行。特别地,采用以下方法测定锰元素和磷元素的含量:将材料在稀盐酸中(浓度10-30%)溶解,利用ICP测试溶液各元素的含量,然后对锰元素的含量进行测量和换算,得到其重量占比。
在一些实施方式中,具有核-壳结构的正极活性材料在完全脱嵌锂前后的晶格变化率为4%以下,可选为3.8%以下,更可选为2.0-3.8%。
磷酸锰锂(LiMnPO 4)的脱嵌锂过程是两相反应。两相的界面应力由脱嵌锂前后的晶格变化率大小决定,晶格变化率越小,界面应力越小,Li +传输越容易。因此,减小内核的晶格变化率将有利于增强Li +的传输能力,从而改善二次电池的倍率性能。上述实施方式的具有核-壳结构的正极活性材料能够实现4%以下的脱嵌锂前后的晶格变化率,因此使用所述正极活性材料能够改善二次电池的倍率性能。晶格变化率可通过本领域中已知的方法,例如X射线衍射图谱(XRD)测得。
在一些实施方式中,具有核-壳结构的正极活性材料的Li/Mn反位缺陷浓度为4%以下,可选为2.2%以下,更可选为1.5-2.2%。
本申请的Li/Mn反位缺陷,指的是LiMnPO4晶格中,Li+与Mn2+的位置发生互换。相应地,Li/Mn反位缺陷浓度指的是与Mn 2+发生互换的Li +占Li +总量的百分比。本申请中,Li/Mn反位缺陷浓度例如,可以依据JIS K 0131-1996进行测试。
上述实施方式的具有核-壳结构的正极活性材料能够实现上述较低的Li/Mn反位缺陷浓度。虽然机理尚不十分清楚,但本申请发明人推测,由于LiMnPO 4晶格中,Li +与Mn 2+会发生位置互换,而Li +传输通道为一维通道,因此Mn 2+在Li +通道中将难以迁移,进而阻碍Li +的传输。由此,本申请所述的具有核-壳结构的正极活性材料由于Li/Mn反位缺陷浓度较低,在上述范围内,因此,能够避免Mn 2+阻碍Li +的传 输,同时提升正极活性材料的克容量发挥和倍率性能。
在一些实施方式中,正极活性材料在3T下的压实密度为2.2g/cm 3以上,可选地为2.2g/cm 3以上且2.8g/cm 3以下。压实密度越高,单位体积活性材料的重量越大,因此提高压实密度有利于提高电芯的体积能量密度。压实密度可依据GB/T24533-2009测量。
在一些实施方式中,正极活性材料的表面氧价态为-1.90以下,可选地为-1.90至-1.98。
氧的稳定价态本为-2价,价态越接近-2价,其得电子能力越强,即氧化性越强,通常情况下,其表面价态在-1.7以下。上述实施方式通过如上所述将正极活性材料的表面氧价态限定在上述范围内,能够减轻正极材料与电解液的界面副反应,从而改善电芯的循环,高温存储产气等性能。
表面氧价态可通过本领域中已知的方法测量,例如通过电子能量损失谱(EELS)测量。

采用上述实施例中扣电制备方法,将所述正极活性材料样品制备成扣电,并对上述扣电以0.05C小倍率进行充电,直至电流减小至0.01C。然后将扣电中的正极极片取出,并置于碳酸二甲酯(DMC)中浸泡8小时。然后烘干,刮粉,并筛选出其中粒径小于500nm的颗粒。取样并按照与上述测试新鲜样品同样的方式计算出其晶胞体积v1,将(v0-v1)/v0×100%作为其完全脱嵌锂前后的晶格变化率(晶胞体积变化率)示于表中。
2.Li/Mn反位缺陷浓度

4. 3C充电恒流比
在25℃恒温环境下,将上述各个实施例和对比例制备的新鲜全电池静置5分钟,按照1/3C放电至2.5V。静置5分钟,按照1/3C充电至4.3V,然后在4.3V下恒压充电至电流小于等于0.05mA。静置5分钟,记录此时的充电容量为C0。按照1/3C放电至2.5V,静置5分钟,再按照3C充电至4.3V,静置5分钟,记录此时的充电容量为C1。3C充电恒流比即为C1/C0×100%。
3C充电恒流比越高,说明二次电池的倍率性能越好。
5.过渡金属Mn(以及Mn位掺杂的Fe)溶出测试
将45℃下循环至容量衰减至80%后的上述各个实施例和对比例制备的全电池采用0.1C倍率进行放电至截止电压2.0V。然后将电池拆开,取出负极极片, 在负极极片上随机取30个单位面积(1540.25mm 2)的圆片,用Agilent ICP-OES730测试电感耦合等离子体发射光谱(ICP)。根据ICP结果计算其中Fe(如果正极活性材料的Mn位掺杂有Fe的话)和Mn的量,从而计算循环后Mn(以及Mn位掺杂的Fe)的溶出量。测试标准依据EPA-6010D-2014。

由OCV、IMP测试结果来看,本实验过程中直至存储结束,全部实施例的电池始终保持99%以上的SOC。
存储30天后,测量电芯体积,并计算相对于存储前的电芯体积,存储后的电芯体积增加的百分比。
11.全电池45℃下循环性能测试
在45℃的恒温环境下,在2.5-4.3V下,按照1C充电至4.3V,然后在4.3V下恒压充电至电流≤0.05mA,静置5分钟,然后按照1C放电至2.5V,容量记为D n(n=0,1,2,……)。重复前述过程,直至容量衰减(fading)到80%,记录此时的重复次数,即为45℃下80%容量保持率对应的循环圈数。

将上述TEM测试所得原始图片在DigitalMicrograph软件中打开,并进行傅里叶变换(点击操作后由软件自动完成)得到衍射花样,量取衍射花样中衍射光斑到中心位置的距离,即可得到晶面间距,夹角根据布拉格方程进行计算得到。
通过得到的晶面间距和相应夹角数据,与其标准值比对,即可对包覆层的不同物质进行识别。

包覆层的厚度大小测试主要通过FIB从上述制得的正极活性材料单个颗粒中间切取100nm左右厚度的薄片,然后对薄片进行TEM测试,得到TEM测试原始图片,保存原始图片格式(xx.dm3)。
将上述TEM测试所得原始图片在DigitalMicrograph软件中打开,通过晶格间距和夹角信息,识别出包覆层,量取包覆层的厚度。
