Abstract
The invention belongs to the technical field of lithium ion battery materials, and particularly relates to a high sphericity manganese-rich carbonate precursor, and a preparation method and application thereof. The high-sphericity manganese-rich carbonate precursor has the advantages of uniform element distribution, high sphericity, uniform particle size distribution, good physical and chemical indexes of products, centralized and controllable particle size, higher sphericity and tap density, and is an ideal precursor material for preparing high-performance manganese-rich materials.
Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of lithium ion battery materials, and particularly relates to a high sphericity manganese-rich carbonate precursor, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The lithium ion battery is a green secondary battery with high energy density, has the advantages of long service life, no memory effect, environmental friendliness and the like, and has been widely applied to the fields of 3C digital electronic products, electric tools, electric vehicles, energy storage and the like since commercialization of the lithium ion battery. The performance of the positive electrode material is one of the key and core in the lithium ion battery technology, and not only directly affects the performance of battery capacity, circulation, safety and the like, but also occupies about 40% of the total cost of the battery, so the performance and cost of the positive electrode material become key factors for limiting the performance and cost of the lithium ion battery.
Currently, the positive electrode material of the lithium ion battery mainly comprises ternary materials of lithium cobaltate, lithium manganate, lithium iron phosphate and nickel cobalt manganese. However, the capacity of the traditional positive electrode materials is generally not more than 200mAh/g, and the performance requirement of the future high specific energy lithium ion battery on the positive electrode materials cannot be met. Moreover, due to the high price and lack of resources of cobalt, the cost of the anode material is greatly influenced by serious national dependence on import. Accordingly, intensive research is being conducted to develop a novel positive electrode material having a higher specific capacity, lower cost, higher safety and longer life.
Lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material xLi 2 MnO 3 （1-x）LiMO 2 (m=co, ni, mn) is of great interest worldwide because of its high specific discharge capacity up to 250mAh/g or more, its high specific capacity, abundant inexpensive mineral resources, and lower manufacturing costs, and the U.S. department of energy even considers this material to be the first choice for the next generation of lithium ion power battery anode materials. However, although the lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material has incomparable advantages to other positive electrode materials in improving the energy density of the lithium ion battery, the lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material has the problems of large first irreversible capacity loss, poor rate performance, obvious voltage drop in the circulation process, poor circulation performance, poor safety performance and the like, and severely restricts the wide commercial application of the material. In addition, the lithium-rich material has a plurality of problems in preparation process and engineering preparation, has low cost and is environment-friendly, and is suitable for a process technical route of large-scale industrial production, thereby playing a vital role in the wide application of the material.
It is reported that sphericity is a key dimension for evaluating a precursor, and high sphericity can improve tap density, rate performance, cycle performance, and the like of a positive electrode material. Therefore, how to increase the sphericity of the precursor is an important index and technique for improving the performance thereof. Currently, the manganese-rich precursor is generally synthesized by adopting a spray drying method, a hydroxide coprecipitation method, a carbonate coprecipitation method and the like. The precursor prepared by the spray drying method has good sphericity, but larger pores and lower compaction density of the material; the hydroxide coprecipitation method is adopted to prepare the manganese-rich ternary precursor, so that the problems of poor sphericity, large component fluctuation, low tap density and the like exist, the divalent manganese is easy to oxidize in a high-pH aqueous solution due to high manganese content, a large amount of inert gas is required to be introduced for protection, the processing cost is increased, a large amount of ammonia water with high volatility is also required to be used, and the cost is greatly increased due to the treatment and recovery of ammonia. The report of preparing carbonate precursor by carbonate coprecipitation technology is mature, as disclosed in Chinese patent CN202110215400.4Preparation method of surface area olive type carbonate ternary precursor, wherein the prepared precursor secondary particles are olive-shaped, loose and porous in surface, primary grains are powder, the diameter is 10-100 nm, and the specific surface area is 130-200m 2 /g; as another example, chinese patent CN 111498908A discloses a preparation method of a spheroidal manganese-rich ternary precursor, which adopts a method of adding a crystal nucleation control agent into a salt solution to prepare a spheroidal manganese-rich ternary precursor of carbonate, and the method can obtain a spheroidal precursor with higher tap density, but the sphericity of the precursor obtained by the method is not good enough, and a certain amount of crystal nucleation control agent is added, so that the process cost is increased.
Therefore, the development of the synthesis method of the high sphericity manganese-rich precursor, which has simple process, low production cost and suitability for large-scale industrial production, has positive significance.
