改性正极材料、其制备方法、正极极片、二次电池、电池模块、电池包和用电装置 技术领域
本申请涉及电池技术领域，特别是涉及一种改性正极材料、其制备方法、正极极片、二次电池、电池模块、电池包和用电装置。
背景技术
锂离子电池是已经获得应用的能量密度最高的电化学储能体系。随着锂离子电池在动力汽车与大规模储能等方面的应用，市场对其能量密度以及安全性能提出了更高的要求。
从锂离子电池的构成出发，正极材料占很大比例，约为负极材料的3-4倍。可见，正极材料的性能直接影响着电池性能的好坏，发展更高能量密度锂离子电池正极材料是锂离子电池发展的必经之路。自从二十世纪九十年代锂离子电池商业化一来，几乎都是靠提高浆料中活性物质的含量、降低非活性物质的含量来实现锂离子电池能量密度的提高，但是近年来这一方向已经到了瓶颈期，活性物质的含量占比已经很难再提升。
于是人们又将目光瞄准到提高电池的首次库伦效率和循环容量保持率上，电池的首次库伦效率是指电池在首次充放电的过程中在电极材料表面形成的一层固体电解质膜，在形成固体电解质膜的过程中会损耗相当大一部分锂离子，造成锂电池的容量降低，进而降低电池的能量密度。目前人们想到的提升锂电池首次库伦效率的方法主要有负极补锂和电极材料提前包覆固体电解质膜层两种，负极补锂工艺和操作较为复杂，目前真正实现商业化的不是很多，而材料提前包覆是一种较为常规的材料改性方法，较易实现。将电极材料表面提前包覆上一层固体电解质膜，不仅可以阻止电解液在首次充放电时的反应，大大提升电池的首次库伦效率，还可以利用人造固体电解质膜较强的可控性实现结构的优化设计，是一种很有前景的提升电池首效的方法，也是未来电极材料改性的一个重要方向。而电池在循环过程中的容量保持率则是实现高能量密度的必由之路，材料在循环过程中会不断膨胀收缩导致出现裂纹，导致电解液透过人造固体电解质膜进一步反应，进而影响电池的阻抗、容量保持率等电化学性能。

[二次电池]
二次电池又称为充电电池或蓄电池，是指在电池放电后可通过充电的方式使活性材料激活而继续使用的电池。
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了一种改性正极材料，该改性正极材料包括内核和包覆层，内核为正极材料，包覆层包括聚合物电解质主体和分散在聚合物电解质主体中的铁电陶瓷材料。
上述改性正极材料中，聚合物电解质主体在正极材料的颗粒外层形成膜状包覆层，使正极材料表层与电解液的副反应降低，阻碍正极材料的溶解，提升存储性能；其次，聚合物电解质主体形成的柔性包覆层能在一定程度上抑制充放电过程中正极材料的收缩膨胀，从而减少正极材料裂缝/粉化；同时，铁电陶瓷填料因其具有永久性极化，与电解质聚合物电解质具有更强的路易斯酸碱效应，从而降低聚合物电解质的结晶度，提高其离子电导率，为离子传输提供更多通道，使合成的正极材料的倍率性能提高。综上，本申请的改性正极材料，具有较好的结构稳定性，倍率性能、材料存储和循环性能均得到提升。
在一些实施方式中，上述包覆层的质量为改性正极材料质量的0.5wt％～5wt％，既避免了包覆层含量过多影响正极材料本身的性能，又可以实现对正极材料的尽可能完全全面的包覆。
铁电陶瓷材料可以降低聚合物电解质的结晶度，但是铁电陶瓷材料用量过多导致包覆层的机械缓冲能力下降，进而减少正极材料裂缝/粉化的能力减弱；如果铁电陶瓷材料用量过少，对电解质聚合物的离子电导率提升效果不明显，在一些实施方式 中，包覆层中铁电陶瓷材料的质量含量为2％～10％，进一步可选为2％～7％，从而进一步利用铁电陶瓷材料改善聚合物电解质的离子电导率，而且使包覆层具有充分的机械缓冲能力。
常规的聚合物电解质的离子电导率在10 -4S/cm及以下，比如为10 -4～10 -8S/cm，本申请的包覆层，虽然以聚合物电解质为主体，但是在经过铁电陶瓷材料改性后，其聚合物电解质的离子电导率得到提升，从而使改性正极材料的离子扩散系数增加，改性正极材料的离子扩散系数
Figure PCTCN2022099464-appb-000002
为10 -11～10 -10S/cm 2，从而进一步优化改性正极材料的倍率性能。上述改性正极材料的离子扩散系数可以采用以下方法检测得到：
离子扩散系数通过交流阻抗法检测，比如采用CHI604D阻抗分析仪，设定振幅电压为5mV、频率范围10 -2～10 5Hz，测试常温循环300圈后的电荷传递阻抗，通过如下公式计算锂离子扩散系数

Figure PCTCN2022099464-appb-000004
其中，Rct是电荷传递阻抗，F是法拉第电阻常数，T是绝对温度，n是得失电子数，R是气体常数。

为了形成机械性能更好的包覆层，在一些实施方式中，上述聚合物电解质主体的重均分子量为1500～800000。当聚合物电解质主体的重均分子量低于1500时，所形成的包覆层在正极材料上的包覆性较差，循环过程过程中容易流失；当聚合物电解质的E重均分子量高于800000时，所形成的包覆层的柔韧性偏差。
用于本申请的铁电陶瓷材料可以从已知的铁电陶瓷材料中进行选自，在一些实施方式中，上述铁电陶瓷材料具有通式：XYO 3，X为Li +、Na +、K +、Mg 2+、Ca 2+、Sr 2+、Pb 2+、Ba 2+和La 2+组成的组中的一种或多种，Y为Ti 4+、Zr 4+、V 5+、Nb 5+和Ta 2+组成的组的一种或多种；可选地，X为Li +、Sr 2+、Pb 2+和Ba 2+组成的组中的一种或多种，Y为Ti 4+和/或Nb 5+。上述铁电陶瓷材料均为本领域已知材料，化学稳定性好，极化性能好。
在一些实施方式中，铁电陶瓷材料的D V50粒径为5nm～100nm，可选地铁电陶瓷材料的D V50粒径为5nm～60nm。采用纳米级的铁电陶瓷材料，一方面有利于铁电陶瓷材料在正极材料的表面附着；另一方面有利于铁电陶瓷材料分散在聚合物电解质的链段间隙中，进而更有效地降低聚合物电解质的结晶度，提高其离子电导率。
本申请的包覆层可以起到保护正极材料同时提高倍率性能，在一些实施方式中，上述包覆层的厚度为2nm～40nm，在该厚度范围的包覆层，既可以重复实现对正 极材料的保护，有效避免表面副反应，而且还避免了包覆层太厚导致的阻抗增加。

上述步骤S3中的干燥可以为真空干燥、热风干燥或者喷雾干燥，当选自真空干燥或热风干燥时，在干燥之后进行进一步破碎以控制其粒度，在一些实施方式中，上述步骤S3的干燥为喷雾干燥。为了提高喷雾干燥效率，并且控制喷雾干燥所得改性正极材料的粒度，在一些实施方式中，控制喷雾干燥的进风温度为130℃～220℃，喷雾干燥的出风温度为60℃～100℃。从而得到粒度分布较为均匀、且D V50粒径为1μm～10μm的微米级改性正极材料。
[正极极片]
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，该正极活性材料包括上述任一种的改性正极材料。由于本申请的改性正极材料具有较好的结构稳定性，倍率性能、材料存储和循环性能均得到提升，使具有其的正极极片也具有上述优势。
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。

通过对比例1和3与实施例1、4、9制备样品电镜扫描对比分析可知，单独铁电陶瓷包覆可在正极材料表面形成岛状包覆，复合聚合物电解质包覆能够在正极材料表面形成均匀的膜状包覆层，且随着聚合物包覆量的增加，膜的连续性变好。
通过对比例1～3与实施例制备样品杂锂数据对比分析可知，由于膜状包覆层的存在，一定程度上隔绝了H 2O和CO 2，从而降低NCM杂锂，且膜的连续性越好，杂锂量越低，进而可以提高容量，提高循环性能，减少产气。
通过对比例4与实施例1～4制备样品循环效果的对比，Al 2O 3与聚合物电解质相互作用较弱，对于改善包覆层离子传输作用有限，且Al 2O 3为非活性物质，是电子和离子的绝缘体，会导致容量下降。
通过实施例1、实施例4、15至16制备样品性能数据对比分析可知，连续且厚度适中的复合聚合物电解质包覆层，有利于增加循环与抑制产气，包覆层不连续，则正极材料依然暴露在电解液中，包覆层过厚，则抑制电子传输；在合理的包覆量下，制备的正极材料容量较高，循环性能较好，产气量较少，表明材料具有较高的结构稳定性。
通过对比实施例1、实施例22至25的样品性能数据可以看出，BaTiO 3的粒度大小对容量和循环性能也有影响，当实施例25中的粒度过大时，对聚合物电解质的结晶性改善效果不明显，导致正极材料的倍率性能提升不足。
虽然已经参考优选实施例对本申请进行了描述，但在不脱离本申请的范围的情况下，可以对其进行各种改进并且可以用等效物替换其中的部件。尤其是，只要不存在结构冲突，各个实施例中所提到的各项技术特征均可以任意方式组合起来。本 申请并不局限于文中公开的特定实施例，而是包括落入权利要求的范围内的所有技术方案。
