Description

Cobalt-free positive electrode material with porous core-shell structure and preparation method thereof
Technical Field

Background
The current development of human society has a growing demand for lithium ion secondary batteries, and various challenges are presented to the supply of raw materials. In particular, in layersThe Co resource which is relatively scarce in reserve is an important resource for world-wide reserve. In the near future, the demand for Co will far exceed the supply. Therefore, in order to alleviate the problem of limited secondary battery development caused by shortage of Co resources to some extent, removal or reduction of Co from NCM layered oxide cathode materials is an effective means for alleviating Co resource shortage at present.
In NCM, the presence of Co can provide the necessary structural stability for the positive electrode material and accelerate the intercalation kinetics of lithium ions. As the Co content is removed or reduced, the chemical stability and structural stability of the material surface gradually deteriorate, resulting in poor cycle performance and thermal stability. And bulk doping can enable elements to go deep into the lattice of the material, so that the material can simultaneously achieve stability and electrochemical performance.
CN112103496B discloses a gradient cathode material prepared by doping at the time of sintering with lithium salt, and doping during sintering generally has the disadvantages of high energy consumption and many processes by changing the sintering temperature or increasing the sintering process in order to ensure the doping amount and improve the doping uniformity.
The cobalt-free core-shell structure anode material has lower capacity due to the components and structural factors, but has certain defects because the circulation stability of the anode material is improved due to the relatively stable shell layer of the outer layer. The defect of the cobalt-free core-shell structure anode material can be effectively improved by controlling the addition amount of the doping agent in the precursor synthesis process. Therefore, in the precursor synthesis stage, one or more elements are doped to replace cobalt element, meanwhile, the internal morphology composition of the precursor is improved, the structural stability of the positive electrode material is improved, and the B source and the P source are coated on the surface of the synthesized positive electrode material, so that the multiplying power and the cycle performance of the material are further improved.

TABLE 1 detection results of precursor porosity and positive electrode material buckling property
The data of comparative example 1 show that the sintering temperature needs to be changed in order to ensure the formation of gradient and the electrical properties of the material by doping during sintering, and that the sintering is multi-step and the energy consumption is high. Comparative example 1 also had poorer buckling performance and lower capacity and initial efficiency than the examples.
As can be seen from table 1, the cobalt-free precursor of the porous core-shell structure can be obtained by strictly controlling the reaction molar ratio, ammonia concentration, pH, rotation speed and D50 in each link of the precursor coprecipitation reaction. In the comparative example, however, the reaction was not performed in accordance with the above-described strict control of each index, and a precursor having such morphology could not be obtained. The small porosity is not beneficial to the rapid deintercalation of lithium ions, and the charge and discharge performance of the material in a lithium ion battery is limited to a great extent. The porous structure of the positive electrode material prepared by the method greatly shortens the diffusion path of lithium ions, improves the deintercalation rate of the positive electrode material and strengthens the diffusion kinetics of the lithium ions. According to the data of the examples and the comparative examples, the positive electrode material with relatively large porosity and high discharge specific capacity corresponding to the precursor with gradient distribution of doping elements is obtained.
TABLE 2 discharge capacity at different rates and retention
As can be seen from table 2 and fig. 4 and 5, the cathode materials prepared in example 3 and example 4 have relatively high discharge capacity and capacity retention rate compared to the cathode material prepared in comparative example 3, indicating that the gradient distribution of doping elements leads to improvement of rate performance. Whereas example 4 slightly decreased the discharge capacity and the capacity retention rate compared with example 3. Therefore, the doping amount and the porosity of doping elements in the cobalt-free cathode material with the porous core-shell structure need to be strictly controlled; the doping amount is more, the porosity is small, the resistance is improved, and the rate performance is poor; the doping amount is less, the contact area of the positive electrode material with larger porosity and the electrolyte is increased, and the multiplying power and the cycle performance of the material are not facilitated.
From fig. 3, it can be derived that: the cycle retention rates of the soft-packed batteries prepared from the cobalt-free cathode materials with the porous core-shell structures obtained in examples 1 to 4 are all better than those of the soft-packed batteries prepared from the conventional cobalt-free cathode materials of comparative examples 1 to 3. On the premise of not changing the total metal composition of the material, the internal elements of the material are distributed in a changing concentration, the nickel content of the material is gradually reduced from the inside to the outside, and the manganese content and the doping elements are gradually increased. The concentration distribution material effectively improves the cycle life and the safety of the battery.
From fig. 6, it can be seen that by performing EDS characterization analysis on the cross section of the cathode material microsphere, the Ni content of the material tends to rise and then fall from the leftmost end to the rightmost end of the cross section, and the Mn and Y contents tend to fall and then rise. This is the same as the elemental distribution content during precursor doping, i.e. the material internal composition content does not tend to be uniformly distributed after sintering.
It is apparent that the above examples are given by way of illustration only and are not limiting of the embodiments. It should be noted that modifications and creations can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the principle of the present invention, and the modifications and creations should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
