Problems solved by technology

[0004] The main defect of the ternary cathode material is poor thermal stability under high temperature conditions. Specifically, at high temperature, the cathode material is prone to side reactions with the electrolyte, resulting in the dissolution of oxygen and metal ions in the material, and fundamental damage to the structure. The thermal stability of the material is poor, while the battery shows a rapid decline in the capacity retention rate
[0005] At present, the method of improving the thermal stability of positive electrode materials is mainly to mix PTC materials with positive electrode materials, conductive agents, binders, etc. during the homogenization process. This method will lead to uneven distribution of PTC on the surface of positive electrode materials. As a result, the battery resistance is too large, the battery is overheated locally, and the battery heat is out of control, resulting in potential safety hazards.

experiment approach 1

[0058] In order to further illustrate technical effect of the present invention, design experimental scheme one is:

[0059] A thin layer of MgAl was formed on the surface of the ternary cathode material by sol-gel method 2 o 4 Nanomaterials, ternary materials and MgAl 2 o 4 The mass ratio of MgAl is 80~100:0.5~5. During heat treatment, MgAl 2 o 4 It is possible to form a Li-Al-Co-O eutectic with the positive electrode material. With this structure, the corrosion of the electrolyte to the ternary material is reduced, the collapse of the material structure is avoided, and the cycle stability of the material is improved. At the same time MgAl 2 o 4 It has good high temperature resistance, can improve the high temperature stability of the material, and has a simple preparation method and is convenient for large-scale production.

Abstract

The invention relates to a composite cathode material, comprising a base cathode material and a magnesium aluminate material MgAl2O4 coating the surface of the base cathode material. Preferably, the base cathode material is a nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary cathode material LiNixCoyMnzO2 or a nickel-cobalt-aluminum ternary cathode material LiNixCoyAlzO2, wherein x+y+z=1, 0 (x, y, z (1. The invention also relates to a preparation method of the composite cathode material and a lithium ion battery. The MgAl2O4 on the surface of the cathode material can protect the cathode material in the inner layer, improve the thermal stability of the cathode material, and thus improve the cycle stability and safety of the battery.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of battery materials, in particular to a composite positive electrode material, a preparation method thereof and a lithium ion battery. Background technique [0002] Lithium-ion batteries have the characteristics of high energy density, long cycle life, no memory effect, and no pollution to the environment. They have been widely used in portable electronic devices and power vehicles. However, in actual production and application, due to the complexity of the environment, the capacity and safety of lithium-ion batteries are enough to become the key factors restricting the development of lithium-ion batteries. [0003] At present, the most widely used cathode materials for commercial lithium-ion batteries are lithium cobaltate, lithium manganate, lithium iron phosphate, layered nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary cathode material NCM, etc. Lithium cobaltate was the first to achieve industrial production, but due t...
