Problems solved by technology

For example: the surface alkalinity of high-nickel cathode materials is strong, which makes the materials very sensitive to acid gases such as air humidity and carbon dioxide in the air, which increases the difficulty of material storage and processing; due to the radius of divalent nickel ions and lithium ions It is relatively close, and it is easy to appear the phenomenon of lithium-nickel mixing. In order to reduce the degree of lithium-nickel mixing, it is necessary to fully oxidize divalent nickel ions into trivalent nickel ions, which puts high requirements on the sintering conditions. It will be sintered in a pure oxygen atmosphere, but through XRD refinement, it is found that the degree of lithium-nickel mixing of the positive electrode material obtained by sintering in an oxygen atmosphere is still high

Abstract

The invention provides a sintering process of a high-stability lithium-ion high-nickel positive electrode material. The precursor of the high-nickel positive electrode material and lithium salt are uniformly mixed according to a certain ratio and then sintered in an ozone atmosphere. After the sintering is completed, carbon dioxide annealing treatment is performed to obtain High stability and high nickel cathode material. This method can not only shorten the sintering time of the material, increase the production capacity, reduce the amount of gas used, and reduce the cost, but also reduce the lithium-nickel mixing degree of the high-nickel cathode material, and improve the consistency and stability of the material. Continue to feed carbon dioxide gas after sintering to make it react with lithium hydroxide remaining on the surface of the high-nickel positive electrode material, generate lithium carbonate with good crystallinity in situ, reduce the pH value of the material surface, improve the processing performance of the material, and Reduce the sensitivity of the material to air and prolong the storage time of the material. Since the material can be obtained by one-step sintering, the complexity of the process is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a sintering process of a high-stability lithium-ion high-nickel positive electrode material, and belongs to the technical field of sintering of lithium-ion battery positive electrode materials. Background technique [0002] High-nickel cathode materials have higher reversible discharge capacity and higher average working voltage, so they have higher energy density, and are expected to become the cathode materials for next-generation lithium-ion power batteries. However, there are still many problems in high-nickel cathode materials, which hinder the advancement of its industrialization. For example: the surface alkalinity of high-nickel cathode materials is strong, which makes the materials very sensitive to acid gases such as air humidity and carbon dioxide in the air, which increases the difficulty of material storage and processing; due to the radius of divalent nickel ions and lithium ions It is relatively close, and it is...
