Description
本公开涉及电池技术领域,尤其涉及一种正极材料、正极材料的制备方法、正极片及电池。
发明背景
随着电池技术的发展,在正极材料结构稳定的条件下,获得较高的容量成为了人们迫切的需求。目前,充放电截止电压从原来的4.2V、4.3V过渡到现在的4.45V、4.48V,最后将向4.5V、4.6V,甚至更高的方向发展。
然而,现有的正极材料在充放电截止电压超过4.5V时,会发生严重不可逆的相变,例如在4.55V时,正极材料发生O3相至H1-3相的相变,以及在更高电压下发生H1-3相至O1相的相变,这种不可逆相变使得正极材料在高电压下的结构变得极其不稳定,晶体结构发生剧烈收缩,引起正极材料颗粒的破裂甚至破碎,从而出现容量衰减较快和循环急速跳水等问题。尽管,通过掺杂和包覆正极材料在一定程度上抑制或减缓了这些相变的危害,但是也造成了容量的损失。
可见,现有技术中正极材料存在容量较低的问题。

本公开提供了一种正极材料,如图1、图2和图3所示,所述正极材料包括含钠氧化物,所述含钠氧化物的第一特征峰的角度范围小于第二特征峰的角度范围,所述第一特征峰为所述含钠氧化物在初始电压下的特征峰,所述第二特征峰为所述含钠氧化物在截止电压下的特征峰,所述含钠氧化物的化学式为LixNa1-xCo1-zMzO2;
其中,M包括金属元素或非金属元素,0.7<x<1(例如,0.71、0.75、0.8、0.85、0.9、0.95、0.99),0.001<z<0.03(例如,0.0015、0.005、0.01、0.015、0.02、0.025、0.029)。
在化学式LixNa1-xCo1-zMzO2中,当M包括多种(≥2)元素时,z为多种元素的原子数之和。例如,当M为Al和Mg时,Al与Mg的原子数之和为1。
本公开中,含钠氧化物在初始电压至截止电压的相变过程中,形成有第一特征峰和第二特征峰,其中,所述第一特征峰为含钠氧化物在初始电压(3V)下的特征峰,所述第二特征峰为含钠氧化物在截止电压(4.5V)下的特征峰,第一特征峰的角度范围小于第二特征峰的角度范围,这样在相同的电压下含钠氧化物可以脱出更多的锂离子,从而提升了正极材料的容量,并提升了正极材料的倍率性能和循环性能。
具体的,含钠氧化物的化学式可以是LixNa1-xCo1-zMzO2,在3V-4.5V的充放电过程中的原位X射线衍射(diffraction of x-rays,XRD)图中,如图1所
示,可以看到第一特征峰,即含钠氧化物在初始电压(3V)下的特征峰,其位于角度范围可以是18.4°至18.7°;第二特征峰,即含钠氧化物在截止电压(4.5V)下的特征峰,其位于角度范围可以是18.7°至19.5°。第二特征峰位于第一特征峰的右侧,即第一特征峰的角度范围小于第二特征峰的角度范围。通过与现有技术中的正极材料对比,本公开提高的正极材料具有更高的容量。
例如,如图4所示,现有技术中的正极材料包括商业化钴酸锂,商业化钴酸锂在3V-4.5V充放电过程中的原位XRD测试,结果显示该材料在充放电过程中在18.4°至19°之间仅存在一个峰在位置上的偏移,未出现两峰共存的现象,说明其在充放电过程中主要是锂离子嵌入和脱出的固溶反应,不存在超过两个的可逆相变反应。且经过充电到4.5V的满电过程后,钴酸锂材料在截止电压(4.5V)下的特征峰位于钴酸锂材料在初始电压(3V)下的特征峰的左侧。而本公开提供的正极材料的第二特征峰位于第一特征峰的右侧,从而本公开提供的正极材料中含钠氧化物在相同的电压下可以脱出更多的锂(大约为80%的锂离子),而现有的钴酸锂在相同电压下仅可以脱出70%的锂离子,因此,与现有技术相比,本公开的正极材料提高了其在相同充电截止电压下的容量。
在一实例中,本发明提供的正极材料在4.5V下可获得202mAh/g的克容量,在相同电压下远高于现有的商业化钴酸锂材料(186mAh/g)。
在一实例中,在所述初始电压至所述截止电压的充放电过程中,所述含钠氧化物包括多次相变,所述多次相变为可逆相变。
在本公开中,从原位XRD(如图1所示)结果显示可以看出,含钠氧化物在初始电压至截止电压的充放电过程中具有多个可逆的相变,这些相变不仅可逆,还为其在较低电压下获得较高容量,提高了正极材料在相同充电截止电压下的容量,同时保持了结构稳定性。
其中,多次相变中每一次相变过程包括有平衡电位,换言之,对含钠氧化物LixNa1-xCo1-zMzO2进行充放电测试,其测试结果如图1至图2所示,可以表
明该材料在3V-4.5V的电压范围内,其充放电曲线有四个充放电平台。通过与目前商业化的钴酸锂材料的原位XRD(如图4所示)进行对比,LixNa1-xCo1-zMzO2的充放电曲线显示其在3.7V-3.8V、4.0V-4.15V、4.15V-4.25V以及4.4V-4.5V分别显示出充放电平台,明显区别于目前的商业化钴酸锂材料。LixNa1-xCo1-zMzO2出现充放电平台,即平衡电位,在当前电压恒定,而在当前电压下对应的相的物质含量增加,这样,每一次相变可以脱出部分锂离子,提升了正极材料的容量。
在一实例中,所述含钠氧化物的相层状结构包括若干层叠的重复单元,每一所述重复单元呈第一过渡金属层、锂氧层、第二过渡金属层层叠排布的层状结构,且过渡金属和锂原子分别占据八面体位点。含钠氧化物的形貌可以是多晶或者单晶。
具体的,LixNa1-xCo1-zMzO2材料在原位XRD中展示出的四个可逆相变,第一个是当充电到3.7V-3.8V时,该材料中发生Li原子从八面体位点向四面体位点转变的相变;第二个是充电到4.0V-4.15V时,由于Li不断脱出导致晶格参数发生变化后的相变;第三个是充电至4.15V-4.25V时,Li重新占据八面体位点,且锂钴层发生层间滑移的转变;第四个相变是当充电至4.4V-4.5V时,由六层锂钴金属层交替排列的结构单元向两层锂钴金属层排列的结构转变的相变。在放电过程中则和上述充电过程的角度变化一致,相变完全可逆。经过一次完整的充放电过程,LixNa1-xCo1-zMzO2材料可以完全回归到原来的相结构,体现出该材料在充放电过程中的良好的动力学稳定性。原位XRD显示其在3V-4.5V的所有相变均为可逆相变,在充放电过程中能够保持良好的结构稳定性。由于该材料在小于4.6V时具有多个可逆相变,使其不仅可以获得高容量,还具有良好的循环性能。另外,该材料结构由于存在LiO6层与CoO6层的共面,而导致较大的层间静电排斥力,从而比现有技术中的钴酸锂具有更大的过渡金属层间距,因此更加有利于Li离子在层间的快速扩散,从而可以获得较高的倍率性能,提升了正极材料的容量。
在一实例中,在所述初始电压至所述截止电压的充放电过程中,在第一电压范围下,所述含钠氧化物化合物以第一相和第二相共存;在第二电压范围下,所述含钠氧化物化合物以第三相和第四相共存;在第三电压范围下,所述含钠氧化物化合物以第五相和第六相共存。其中,第一电压范围为3.7V-3.8V;第二电压范围为4.15V-4.25V;第三电压范围为4.4V-4.5V。
在一实例中,在LixNa1-xCo1-zMzO2材料充电过程中,当由3V充电到第一电压范围(例如可以是3.7V-3.8V)的过程中发生了第一个相变,对应在XRD谱图中17.6°至18.7°的范围内,出现了两峰共存,即第一相和第二相共存,第一相可以是位于17.6°至18.2°的左峰,第二相可以是位于18.4°至18.7°的右峰,并且随着充电过程继续,左峰慢慢变强,右峰慢慢减弱直至消失;
当继续充电到4.0V-4.15V的过程中,增强的左峰在慢慢向左偏移,角度范围可以是17.7°至18°,此时发生第二个相变反应;
当继续充电到第二电压范围(例如可以是4.15V-4.25V)的过程中发生了第三个相变,此时又出现两峰共存,即第三相和第四相共存,第三相可以是位于17.6°至18.1°的左峰,第四相可以是位于18.0°至18.7°的右峰,并且左峰慢慢减弱直至消失,右峰慢慢增强,峰的位置变化范围为17.6°至18.7°;
当继续充电到第三电压范围(例如可以是4.4V-4.5V)的过程中发生了第四个相变,又出现两峰共存,即第五相和第六相共存,第五相可以是位于18°至18.6°的左峰,第六相可以是位于18.7°至19.5°的右峰,左峰慢慢减弱至消失,右峰慢慢增强,峰的位置变化范围为18°至19.5°,而在放电过程中则完全可逆。
通过与目前商业化的钴酸锂材料的原位XRD进行对比,目前商业化钴酸锂在3V-4.5V充放电过程中的原位XRD测试结果显示(如图4所示):目前商业化的钴酸锂材料在充放电过程中在18.4°至19°之间仅存在一个峰在位置上的偏移,未出现两峰共存的现象,说明现有的正极材料在充放电过程中主要是Li离子嵌入和脱出的固溶反应,不存在超过两个的可逆相变反应。且经
过充到4.5V的满电过程后,本公开所述正极材料的峰位置位于初始态的右侧,而正极材料的峰位置位于其初始态位置左侧,是因为本公开的正极材料在相同的电压下可以脱出更多的Li(大约为80%的Li离子),而现有的正极材料在相同电压下仅可以脱出70%的Li离子,在相同充电截止电压下,提高了正极材料在相同充电截止电压下的容量。
其中,M包括Al、Mg、Ti、Zr、Mn、Ni、B、P、Y、Te、Nb、W、K和La中的至少一种元素。
需要说明的是,M元素包括上述金属元素或非金属元素,还可以是其他可以与氧原子形成共价键并嵌入LixNa1-xCo1-zMzO2晶格中的其他元素,例如,镧系元素La/Y等,同样可以达到相同的技术效果,在此不再赘述。
其中,所述含钠氧化物的中值粒径范围可以是3μm-30μm(例如,3μm、5μm、10μm、15μm、20μm、25μm、30μm)。
其中,所述含钠氧化物的比表面积范围可以是0.2m2/g-1m2/g(例如,0.2m2/g、0.3m2/g、0.4m2/g、0.5m2/g、0.6m2/g、0.7m2/g、0.8m2/g、0.9m2/g、1m2/g)。
需要说明的是,含钠氧化物在初始电压至超过4.6V的截止电压的情况下,同样,相变完全可逆。经过一次完整的充放电过程,LixNa1-xCo1-zMzO2含钠氧化物可以完全回归到原来的相结构,在充放电过程中动力学稳定性良好。

步骤504、基于所述预产物,制得所述正极材料。
该步骤中,将正极材料与导电剂和粘结剂等混合后,制得正极浆料。
本公开中,含钠氧化物LixNa1-xCo1-zMzO2在充放电过程中能够保持良好的结构稳定性,却具有多个可逆相变,使其不仅可以获得高容量,还具有良好的循环性能。另外,由于该材料结构由于存在LiO6层与CoO6层的共面,而导致较大的层间静电排斥力,从而具有更大的过渡金属层间距,因此更加有利于Li离子在层间的快速扩散,从而可以获得较高的倍率性能,提升了正极材料的克容量。
在一实例中,所述钴盐溶液和所述M盐溶液中,Co与M之间的摩尔比为(1-z):z,所述共沉淀物包括(Co1-zMz)3O4,其中0.001<z<0.03,所述中间产物包括NamCo1-zMzO2,其中0.65<m<1,所述预产物包括LixNa1-xCo1-zMzO2,其中,0.70<x<1。
钴盐和M盐中Co与M的摩尔比可以是(1-z):z,加入至去离子水中,然后加入0.01mol/L-2mol/L的沉淀剂和络合剂,从而获得共沉淀物,将共沉淀物在空气
氛围下在300℃-900℃下烧结10h至20h后,对产物进行研磨过筛处理,从而获得(Co1-zMz)3O4材料,其中0.001<z<0.03,且(Co1-zMz)3O4的中值粒径范围在3μm至30μm;然后,将(Co1-zMz)3O4与Na2CO3按照Na与Co的摩尔比为n:1的比例均匀混合(0.69<n<0.78),通氧气在700℃-1000℃下烧结24h至36h,以获得NamCo1-zMzO2,0.65<m<1;通过将NamCo1-zMzO2与锂盐混合加热熔融的方式获得LixNa1-xCo1-zMzO2。通过在正极材料中添加含钠氧化物LixNa1-xCo1-zMzO2,提高了正极材料的克容量。
本公开还提供了一种正极片,包括集流体和设置于所述集流体的涂覆层,所述涂覆层中包括本公开所述的正极材料和/或由本公开所述的正极材料的制备方法制得的正极材料。
在一实例中,所述集流体采用金属箔材,优选铝箔。
在一实例中,所述铝箔厚度为6μm-10μm(例如,6μm、7μm、8μm、9μm、10μm)。
在一实例中,所述涂覆层中包括正极材料,正极材料中正极活性材料可以包括LixNa1-xCo1-zMzO2。
在一实例中,正极片的压实密度可以是3g/cm3-4.5g/cm3(例如,3g/cm3、3.2g/cm3、3.5g/cm3、3.8g/cm3、4g/cm3、4.2g/cm3、4.5g/cm3)。
在一实例中,所述涂覆层中还包括导电剂和粘结剂,粘结剂可以包含聚偏二氟乙烯(PVDF)、羧甲基纤维素(CMC)、丁苯橡胶(SBR)、水性丙烯酸树脂、聚四氟乙烯(PTFE)、乙烯-醋酸乙烯酯共聚物(EVA)及聚乙烯醇(PVA)中的一种或多种,导电剂可以包含超导碳、乙炔黑、炭黑、科琴黑、碳点、碳纳米管、石墨烯及碳纳米纤维中的一种或多种。
在一实例中,以所述涂覆层的总重量为基准,所述正极材料的重量含量为90wt%-99wt%,所述导电剂的重量含量为0.5wt%-5wt%,所述粘结剂的重量含量为0.5wt%-5wt%。
具体的,将正极材料、导电剂和粘结剂分散于溶剂(例如N-甲基吡咯烷酮,
简称为NMP)中,形成均匀的涂覆层,将涂覆层涂覆在正极集流体上,经烘干、辊压工序后,得到正极极片。正极材料在初始电压至截止电压的充放电过程中具有多个可逆的相变,这些相变不仅可逆,还为其在较低电压下获得较高容量,提高了正极片在相同充电截止电压下的容量。
本公开还提供了一种电池,包括正极片和负极片,所述正极片中包括本公开所述的正极材料和/或由本公开所述的正极材料的制备方法制得的正极材料。
