Description

Positive electrode active material of lithium-ion battery, lithium-ion battery and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a positive electrode active material of a lithium electronic battery, in particular to a positive electrode active material of a lithium electronic battery with special chemical composition, a lithium electronic battery and a preparation method thereof.
Background
As technology development and demand for mobile devices increase, the demand of secondary batteries as an energy source also increases rapidly. Among these secondary batteries, commercially available lithium secondary batteries have high energy density and high voltage, long life and low self-charging characteristics, and are widely used.
Lithium-containing cobalt oxide (LiCoO 2) is generally used as a positive electrode active material in lithium secondary batteries. Lithium-containing manganese oxides such as LiMnO 2 having a layered crystal structure and LiMn2O 4 having a spinel crystal structure can be used, and lithium-containing nickel oxides (LiNiO 2) can also be used. Among the above positive electrode active materials, liCoO 2 is most commonly used because of its excellent physical properties (such as excellent cycle characteristics). But LiCoO 2 is low in stability and expensive due to resource limitation of raw cobalt.
Lithium manganese oxides, such as LiMnO 2 and LiMnO 4, are preferably used because: manganese is a raw material, is abundant and environmentally friendly, and thus has been attracting attention as a positive electrode active material for replacing LiCoO 2. However, these lithium manganese oxides have the disadvantages of low capacitance and poor cycle characteristics.
Lithium nickel oxide (such as LiNiO 2) is cheaper than cobalt oxide and also has a higher discharge capacitance when charged to a certain state. Therefore, in recent years, although average discharge voltage and bulk density are low, energy density of a battery including LiNiO 2 as a positive electrode active material is improved, and thus, a great deal of research is actively being conducted on these nickel-based positive electrode active materials to develop a high-capacity battery. In this regard, many prior art techniques have focused on the characteristics of LiNiO 2 -based positive electrode active materials and improved processes for LiNiO 2. However, the LiNiO 2 -based positive electrode active material has disadvantages including high preparation cost, swelling caused by gas generated from the battery, low chemical stability, and high pH, which have not been satisfactory solutions. Accordingly, in the related art, it is suggested to coat a specific material (for example, liF, li 2SO4、Li3PO4) or the like on the surface of lithium nickel-manganese-cobalt oxide in an attempt to improve the performance of the battery. In these cases, the addition of other elements to lithium batteries has certain advantages but also causes defects elsewhere (e.g., complicated processes, etc.), so various manufacturers have been devoted to developing better lithium battery compositions.
However, in spite of various attempts, lithium composite transition metals having satisfactory performance have not been developed yet as positive electrode materials for lithium atom batteries.

The present invention thus provides a positive electrode material for a lithium atom battery, which has excellent battery performance.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, a positive electrode active material for a lithium battery is provided. The positive electrode active material is labeled in the following manner: li 1.2NixMn0.8-x-yZnyO2, wherein x is in the range of 0 < x+.0.8 and y is in the range of 0 < y+.0.1.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a lithium secondary battery using the positive electrode active material, which is labeled in the following manner: li 1.2NixMn0.8-x-yZnyO2, wherein x is in the range of 0 < x+.0.8 and y is in the range of 0 < y+.0.1.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, a method of preparing the positive electrode active material is also included.

According to the above technology, the present invention additionally provides a lithium ion secondary battery that may have a positive electrode including the above positive electrode active material. A configuration example of the secondary battery according to the present embodiment will be described below for each component. The secondary battery of the present embodiment includes, for example, a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a nonaqueous electrolyte, and can be configured by the same components as those of a lithium ion secondary battery that is generally used. The following embodiments are merely examples, and the lithium ion secondary battery of the present embodiment is based on this embodiment, but various changes and modifications may be made according to the knowledge of those skilled in the art. The use of the secondary battery is not particularly limited.
As for the positive electrode, the positive electrode included in the secondary battery of the present embodiment may include the positive electrode active material described above. An example of a method for producing the positive electrode is described below. First, the positive electrode active material (powder), the conductive material, and the binder (binder) are mixed to form a positive electrode mixture, and if necessary, activated carbon and/or a solvent for viscosity adjustment or the like are added thereto, and then kneaded to prepare a positive electrode mixture paste. The mixing ratio of the various materials in the positive electrode mixture is an element that determines the performance of the lithium ion secondary battery, and thus can be adjusted according to the application. The mixing ratio of the materials may be the same as that of the positive electrode of a known lithium ion secondary battery, and for example, in the case where the total mass of the solid matter of the positive electrode mixture excluding the solvent is made 100 mass%, the positive electrode active material is contained in a proportion of 60 mass% or more and 95 mass% or less, the conductive material is contained in a proportion of 1 mass% or more and 20 mass% or less, and the binder is contained in a proportion of 1 mass% or more and 20 mass% or less. The obtained positive electrode mixture paste is applied to, for example, the surface of an aluminum foil current collector, and then dried to scatter the solvent, whereby a sheet-like positive electrode can be produced. The electrode density may be further increased by pressurizing by rolling or the like as needed. The sheet-like positive electrode thus obtained may be cut into an appropriate size according to a desired battery for use in the production of the battery. As the conductive material, for example, carbon Black materials such as graphite (natural graphite, artificial graphite, expanded graphite, and the like), acetylene Black, ketjen Black (registered trademark), and the like can be used. As the binder, for example, 1 or more kinds selected from polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), fluororubber (fluororubber), ethylene-propylene-diene rubber (Ethylene propylene diene rubber), styrene-butadiene (Styrene butadiene), cellulose resin (Cellulosic resin), polyacrylic acid (Polyacrylic acid), and the like can be used. A solvent in which a positive electrode active material, a conductive material, or the like is dispersed and which is used to dissolve the binder may also be added to the positive electrode mixture, as needed. As the solvent, an organic solvent such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone) or the like can be specifically used. In addition, in order to increase the electric double layer capacity, activated carbon may be added to the positive electrode mixture. The method for producing the positive electrode is not limited to the above-described example, and other methods may be employed. For example, the positive electrode mixture may be produced by press-molding and then drying in a vacuum atmosphere.
For the negative electrode, metallic lithium, lithium alloy, or the like can be used for the negative electrode. The negative electrode may be formed by mixing a binder with a negative electrode active material capable of occluding and releasing lithium ions, adding an appropriate solvent to obtain a paste-like negative electrode mixture, and then coating the negative electrode mixture on the surface of a metal foil current collector such as copper, drying the same, and optionally compressing the same to increase the electrode density. Examples of the negative electrode active material include natural graphite, artificial graphite, and a calcined body of an organic compound such as phenol resin, and a powder of a carbonaceous material such as coke. In this case, as the negative electrode binder, a fluorine-containing resin such as PVDF may be used in the same manner as the positive electrode, and as a solvent in which these active materials and binder can be dispersed, an organic solvent such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone may be used.
For the separator, the separator may be interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode as needed. As the separator for separating the positive electrode and the negative electrode and for holding the electrolyte, a known separator may be used, and for example, a film having a large number of micropores such as polyethylene, polypropylene, or the like may be used.
For the nonaqueous electrolyte, for example, a nonaqueous electrolyte can be used. As the nonaqueous electrolyte, for example, a nonaqueous electrolyte in which a lithium salt as a supporting salt is dissolved in an organic solvent can be used. As the nonaqueous electrolyte, a nonaqueous electrolyte in which a lithium salt is dissolved in an ionic liquid may be used. The ionic liquid is a salt composed of cations and anions other than lithium ions and being liquid even at normal temperature. As the organic solvent, a cyclic carbonate such as ethylene carbonate (Ethylene carbonate), propylene carbonate (Propylene carbonate), trifluoropropene carbonate (Trifluoro propylene carbonate), trifluoropropene carbonate (Trifluoropropylene carbonate) or the like can be used alone; chain carbonates such as diethyl carbonate (Diethyl carbonate), dimethyl carbonate (Dimethyl carbonate), ethylmethyl carbonate (ETHYL METHYL carbonate), dipropyl carbonate (Dipropyl carbonate); ether compounds such as tetrahydrofuran (Tetrahydrofuran), 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-methyltetrahydrofuran), and dimethoxyethane (Dimethoxyethane); sulfur compounds such as ethylmethylsulfone (ETHYL METHYL sulfolane) and butane sultone (Butane sultone); one selected from phosphorus compounds such as triethyl phosphate (Triethyl phosphate) and trioctyl phosphate (Trioctyl phosphate), and two or more of them may be used in combination.
As the supporting salt, liPF 6、LiBF4、LiClO4、LiAsF6、LiN(CF3 SO2)2, a complex salt thereof, and the like can be used. In addition, the nonaqueous electrolyte may further contain a radical scavenger, a surfactant, a flame retardant, and the like. As the nonaqueous electrolyte, a solid electrolyte may be used. The solid electrolyte has a property of withstanding high voltage. Examples of the solid electrolyte include an inorganic solid electrolyte and an organic solid electrolyte. Examples of the inorganic solid electrolyte include an oxide solid electrolyte and a sulfide solid electrolyte. The oxide solid electrolyte is not particularly limited, and an oxide solid electrolyte containing oxygen (O) and having lithium ion conductivity and electronic insulation can be preferably used. As the oxide-based solid electrolyte, for example, one or more kinds selected from lithium phosphate (Li3PO4)、Li3PO4NX、LiBO2NX、LiNbO3、LiTaO3、Li2 SiO3、Li4SiO4-Li3PO4、Li4SiO4-Li3VO4、Li2O-B2O3-P2O5、Li2O-SiO2、Li2O-B2O3-ZnO、Li1+XAlXTi2-X(PO4)3(0≦X≦1)、Li1+XAlX Ge2-X(PO4)3(0≦X≦1)、LiTi2(PO4)3、Li3XLa2/3-XTiO3(0≦X≦2/3)、Li5La3Ta2O12、Li7La3Zr2O12、Li6BaLa2Ta2O12、Li3.6Si0.6P0.4O4 and the like can be used. The sulfide-based solid electrolyte is not particularly limited, and for example, sulfide-based solid electrolyte containing sulfur (S) and having lithium ion conductivity and electronic insulation can be preferably used. As the sulfide-based solid electrolyte, for example, one or more kinds selected from Li2S-P2S5、Li2S-SiS2、LiI-Li2S-SiS2、LiI-Li2S-P2S5、LiI-Li2S-B2S3、Li3PO4 Li2S-Si2S、Li3PO4-Li2S-SiS2、LiPO4-Li2S-SiS、LiI-Li2S-P2O5、LiI-Li3PO4-P2S5 and the like can be used. As the inorganic solid electrolyte, materials other than the above may be used, and for example, li 3N、LiI、Li3 N-LiI-LiOH or the like may be used. The organic solid electrolyte is not particularly limited as long as it is a polymer compound having ion conductivity, and for example, polyethylene oxide, polypropylene oxide, and copolymers thereof can be used. In addition, the organic solid electrolyte may further contain a supporting salt (lithium salt).
The lithium ion secondary battery of the present embodiment described above may have various shapes such as a cylindrical shape and a laminated shape. In any shape, when the nonaqueous electrolyte is used as the nonaqueous electrolyte in the secondary battery of the present embodiment, a structure sealed in a battery case can be obtained by laminating a positive electrode and a negative electrode via a separator to form an electrode body, immersing the obtained electrode body in the nonaqueous electrolyte, and connecting a positive electrode collector and a positive electrode terminal to the outside and a negative electrode collector and a negative electrode terminal to the outside using a current collecting lead or the like. As described above, the secondary battery according to the present embodiment is not limited to the form using the nonaqueous electrolyte as the nonaqueous electrolyte, and may be, for example, an all-solid battery which is a secondary battery using a solid nonaqueous electrolyte. In the case of an all-solid-state battery, the structure other than the positive electrode active material may be changed as necessary.
The secondary battery according to the present embodiment is a high-capacity and high-output secondary battery, although it is applicable to various applications, and therefore, for example, it is preferably applied to a power supply for small portable electronic devices (portable computers, mobile phone terminals, etc.) that always require high capacity, and also to a power supply for electric vehicles that require high output. Further, since the secondary battery according to the present embodiment can be miniaturized and has a high output, it is preferable to use the secondary battery as a power source for an electric vehicle in which the installation space is limited. The secondary battery according to the present embodiment can be used not only as a power source for an electric vehicle driven purely by electric energy, but also as a power source for a so-called hybrid vehicle used together with an internal combustion engine such as a gasoline engine or a diesel engine.

As shown in the data of fig. 3B and table 3B, in the positive electrode active materials of lithium-ion batteries shown in comparative examples one to two, the more zinc atoms are doped, the higher the discharge capacity, and the higher the recovery ratio of the battery capacity after 50 cycles, in the discharge capacity, both after the 1 st cycle and after the 50 th cycle; in the positive electrode active material of the lithium-ion battery of the present invention, the more zinc atoms are doped (from the first comparative example to the second example) in the positive electrode active material of the lithium-ion battery of the present invention, the higher the discharge capacity of the positive electrode active material is, and the higher the recovery ratio of the battery capacity after 50 cycles is, because the lithium-rich material itself has poor conductivity, more cycles are required to induce more lithium migration and extraction, however, the positive electrode material also undergoes irreversible phase change during charging and discharging, which also prevents lithium migration and extraction, and the doped zinc ions can serve as a stable material structure to slow down the generation of phase change, thereby releasing more capacitance values of the lithium-ion battery without the influence of severe phase change.
TABLE 3B
In contrast, the group of comparative example two/example three/example four (i.e., high nickel/manganese ratio), when used as the positive electrode active material, was shown in fig. 4A and 4B for the performance of the battery parameters. Fig. 4A is a graph showing the relationship between the discharge capacity and the voltage in the positive electrode active material of an electronic battery according to the present invention, wherein the horizontal axis represents the capacity (unit: mAh/g) and the vertical axis represents the voltage (unit: V), and the positive electrode active material is operated under the environment of 0.05C, and the corresponding values are shown in table 4A. As shown in fig. 4A and table 4A, the capacitance in the plateau region at the time of charging decreases as the zinc atom ratio increases (from comparative example two to example four), but the charge transfer efficiency can be maintained approximately the same.
TABLE 4A
Referring to fig. 4B, fig. 4B is a graph showing the relationship between the cycle number and the discharge capacity/energy density in the positive electrode active material of a lithium-ion battery according to the present invention, wherein the horizontal axis represents the cycle number (unit: times), the left Fang Zongzhou represents the discharge capacity (unit: mAh/g), the right vertical axis represents the energy density (unit: wh/kg), and the positive electrode active material of a lithium-ion battery according to the present invention is operated in a 0.1C environment, wherein the corresponding values are shown in table 4B. As shown in the data of fig. 4B and table 4B, in the discharge capacity, the discharge capacity is decreased with more zinc atoms (comparative example two to example four) after the 1 st cycle or 50 th cycle, but the recovery ratio of the battery capacity after 50 cycles is gradually increased, because in the case of high nickel, although zinc can be used as the ions of the stabilizing material, nickel can also be used as the stabilizing material, both ions occupy the layer channels of the lithium migration and the migration, so that the excessive zinc doping can decrease the capacitance value of the first cycle, but at the same time, the negative influence of the phase change is also decreased due to the characteristics of the stabilizing material, so that the positive electrode material is continuously activated and more capacitance value is released during the subsequent charge and discharge cycles. In the positive electrode active material of a lithium-ion battery according to the present invention, the discharge capacity decreases with more zinc atoms (from the second comparative example to the fourth example) in the energy density after the 1 st cycle or the 50 th cycle, but the recovery ratio of the battery capacity after the 50 th cycle is also higher, because nickel can act as a crystal phase of a stable material in the positive electrode material, and the nickel generally occupies a channel for lithium ion transport, thereby preventing migration and migration of lithium electrons and further affecting the charge-discharge capacitance. However, after the activation of the subsequent charge-discharge cycle, more capacitance is released, and the nickel stabilizes the material to reduce the capacitance loss associated with the phase change, thereby increasing the capacitance during the subsequent charge-discharge cycle.
TABLE 4B
As can be seen from the above graph, the present invention provides a positive electrode of a lithium battery having excellent performance, having a chemical formula as shown in formula (1)
Li1.2NixMn0.8-x-yZnyO2(1)
X is 0 < x.ltoreq.0.8, y is 0 < y.ltoreq.0.1. According to the foregoing embodiments, as the positive electrode material, either the group having a low nickel/manganese ratio (example one and example two, i.e., the range of x in the formula (1) is 0.1+.x+.0.2, and the range of y is 0 < y+.0.02) or the group having a high nickel/manganese ratio (example three and example four, i.e., the range of x in the formula (1) is 0.2+.x+.0.3, and the range of y is 0 < y+.0.02), the discharge capacity and the energy density are excellent even after the 1 st cycle or up to 50 cycles. Particularly in the embodiment with low nickel/manganese ratio, compared with the condition without doping zinc, the discharge capacity and the energy density can be obviously increased after doping zinc, the increasing amplitude of the discharge capacity and the energy density is slightly better than that of the embodiment with high nickel/manganese ratio, and the positive electrode material doped with zinc can effectively stabilize the material structure under the condition with low nickel/manganese ratio compared with the condition with high nickel/manganese ratio.
In summary, the invention provides a positive electrode of a lithium battery with excellent performance, which is characterized in that zinc is doped, and the preparation method can obtain a structure with uniform lamellar distribution, and experiments prove that the positive electrode has good electrical performance and is suitable for being applied to various electronic products.
