Description

一种锰基固溶体正极材料及制备方法与用途 技术领域
本申请实施例涉及锂离子电池技术领域,例如一种锰基固溶体正极材料及制备方法与用途。
背景技术
锰基材料LiMnO2理论容量285mAh/g,容量发挥潜力大,同时具有成本低,原料丰富,安全性能优等优势,但是高温性能较差需要找到合适的方案来稳定其结构避免其尖晶石化。
目前锰基材料LiMnO2难以合成纯相,大部分合成出来的材料容易尖晶石化,并且克容量发挥较低高温循环较差,常用的方法是采用掺杂元素和包覆等方案来稳定其结构,都是单个元素占据Li/Mn/O位,但是在长期的充放电过程中掺杂元素也会慢慢的不稳定;都难以从根本上改变LiMnO2材料本身层状结构不稳定的特点,高温下性能依然无法满足要求;同时在循环过程中LiMnO2会逐渐倾向于尖晶石化,而失去活性,容量无法恢复。
目前通过如下方法对锰基材料进行改性,(1)CN102800840A公开了一种类球形锰酸锂及其制备方法,减小了材料的比表面积,从而减少了锰的溶解,提高了电池的循环性能。但是这种方法只是对于材料形貌进行了调控,没有能够有效隔绝锰酸锂和电解液的直接接触。(2)表面包覆氧化物、磷酸盐、氟化物等无机材料,通过惰性材料的包覆,隔绝正极材料与电解液的直接接触,减少了锰的溶解,提高了电池的循环性。如CN104134793A公开了一种锂离子电池正极材锰酸锂的制备方法,使用掺杂改性锰酸锂包覆普通锰酸锂,可以提高材料的循环性能。但是掺杂改性的锰酸锂在生产过程中容易引入晶体缺陷,导致产品一致性较差,而且这种改性方法对锰酸锂表面发生的副反应减弱的程度影响有效。如CN102054985A公开了一种锰酸锂及其制备方法,通过包覆Li、Cr、Co、Ni、Mg、Ga、Sr、Ba、Na、K、Al、Be、B、Ti、Zr、Cu、Zn、Ga、Sn、V或F、Cl、Br、I、S等元素,改善了材料与电解液的相容性,从而改善了高温及常温循环性能和高温存储性能。这种方法在结晶度高的前驱体表面包覆了低结晶度的化合物,因为两种材料的晶体结构不同,包覆材料和内核材料之间会形成新的晶界。极片辊压过程中,会由于锰酸锂材料内部应力较大而发生破裂,导致电池循环性能变差。
因此,如何有效地避免锰基正极材料的尖晶石化,提升材料的容量同时提升循环性能,是亟待解决的技术问题。

测试结果如表1所示:
表1

从实施例1与实施例4和5的数据结果可知,a的数值过大,超过0.35,即钠锰基氧化物材料的占比过大,不利于容量发挥,高电压下容量也较低,但是循环会改善,也证明了钠锰相有助于提升整体材料的循环。
从实施例1与实施例6和7的数据结果可知,步骤(2)即混合熔融得到固溶体的过程中,温度过低,会影响两相融合,不利于固溶体形成,导致克容量明显降低,同时循环没有改善,而温度过高,又会导致纯锰基材料发生改变,两相难以融合,同时容量降低,循环变差。
从实施例1与实施例8的数据结果可知,锰基一烧材料的D50与钠锰基氧化物材料的D50要相互匹配,如果不匹配会影响两相的融合,使得所得固溶体结构的材料纯度降低,最终导致容量降低,循环性能减弱。
从实施例1与对比例1,实施例9与对比例3的数据结果可知,纯锰基正极材料克容量低,循环性能差,而采用钠锰基材料进行固溶处理后,有助于提升材料的克容量,有助于改善循环性能,是非常具有潜力的材料。从实施例1与对比例2的数据结果可知,常规的处理过程,依然无法解决锰基材料的常温循环和克容量较差的问题,而通过钠锰基材料固溶,不是简单的包覆或掺杂,从体相结构上稳定了锰基材料,从而提升锰基正极材料的克容量并改善了其循环性能。
综上所述,本申请提供了一种层状结构的锰基固溶体材料,钠锰基材料的引入,与锰基基体材料形成了固溶体,避免了锰基材料的尖晶石相的形成,提升了层状结构的稳定性,进而提升了正极材料的循环稳定性尤其是高温循环稳定性,且钠锰基材料导电性较高,还提升了正极材料的导电性,其容量得到了提高。扣式电池采用本申请提供的锰基固溶体正极材料,且限制化学式中a的0.05≤a≤0.35,同时调控制备过程中的温度与材料的D50,常温在在0.1C的充放电电流下,2.5~4.5V的电压范围时,电池的克容量可达170mAh/g以上,2.5~4.4V的电压范围时,电池的克容量可达163mAh/g以上;2.5~4.35V的电压范围内,电池的克容量可达140mAh/g以上,2.5~4.2V的电压范围内,电池的克容量可达130mAh/g以上;45℃高温下,0.1C/0.1C,2.5~4.35V的测试条件下,电池循环100圈后的容量保持率可达93%以上。
