Abstract

The invention discloses a method for reducing the sulfur content of a nickel cobalt aluminum precursor. Sulfate radicals adsorbed at the surface of the nickel cobalt aluminum precursor can be removed by traditional alkali liquid such as sodium hydroxide and lithium hydrate, but the removal effect on the sulfate radicals in the nickel cobalt aluminum precursor crystalline structure is poor; the requirement of a power battery positive electrode material on the impurity sulfur content is different to meet. The method is characterized in that a nickel cobalt aluminum mixed metal solution, sodium hydroxide and ammonium hydroxide are added into a reaction kettle at the same time; the nickel cobalt aluminum precursor is obtained through controlling the reaction conditions; after the mother liquid removal, the nickel cobalt aluminum precursor is transferred into a washing kettle to be subjected to sizing washing and water washing; then, drying and sieving are performed to obtain the nickel cobalt aluminum precursor with the sulfur content being smaller than or equal to 1000ppm. The method has the advantages that the washing solution is low in cost; the washing process is simple; the operability is high; the efficiency is high; no destroy effect is generated on the microtopography of the nickel cobalt aluminum precursor; the method belongs to a process applicable to industrial production; practical values are realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of precursors of nickel-cobalt-aluminum cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries, in particular to a method for reducing the sulfur content of the nickel-cobalt-aluminum precursors. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of the electric vehicle market, the power lithium-ion battery, as one of its core components, is highly concerned by the industry. Due to the adverse effects of impurities on the safety performance, electrochemical performance, and cycle life of batteries, the requirements for the control of impurities in cathode materials for power lithium ions are very strict. [0003] Nickel-cobalt lithium aluminate (NCA) cathode material is one of the cathode materials for power lithium-ion batteries. The preparation of NCA by co-precipitation method mainly has the following three process routes: (1) Preparation of Ni by co-precipitation method 1-x-y co x al y (OH) 2 , and then m...
