The present application claims priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 202311869845.X filed on Dec. 29, 2023 before CNIPA. All the above are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of batteries and, particularly, to a positive electrode active material and a lithium-ion battery.
Lithium iron phosphate is widely used as positive electrode material for lithium-ion batteries due to its wide range of raw material sources, high theoretical specific capacity, stable voltage platform, good safety performance and low cost. However, the electronic conductivity of LiFePO4 is relatively small at about 10−9 S/cm. Moreover, its olivine structure has only one-dimensional Li+ diffusion channels, and the diffusion of Li+ is hindered when the material structure is changed or the LiFePO4 surface is blocked by impurities, resulting in low Li+ diffusion coefficients (about 10−14-10−16 cm2/s at room temperature), which is especially serious at low temperatures.
In order to improve the electrical conductivity and low-temperature performance of LiFePO4, the commonly used methods are: (1) doping high-valent ions or metal oxides to increase the intrinsic conductivity of the material; (2) reducing the particle size to shorten the diffusion distance of Li+; and (3) employing carbon coating or coating other conductive substances on the surface of the LiFePO4 material to increase the surface electrical conductivity of the material. However, the increased diffusion rate of Li+ does not significantly improve the low-temperature performance of LiFePO4. As Li+ transfer at the interface is a rate-determining step in the LiFePO4 electrode reaction compared to diffusion within the stereoscopic phase, the relatively poor low-temperature performance originates from the slow Li+ transfer process at the interface between the electrode and the electrolyte.
Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art for a technical scheme that promotes the transfer of Li+ at the interface between the electrode and the electrolyte, improves the electrical conductivity of LiFePO4, thereby increasing the rate performance, and improves the low-temperature performance of lithium iron phosphate positive electrode materials.
The present disclosure aims to solve the following technical problems: how to improve the Li+ transfer rate at the interface between the electrode and the electrolyte, and improve the electrical conductivity of lithium iron phosphate, thereby improving the rate performance, which improves the low-temperature performance of lithium iron phosphate.
As a first aspect, provided in the present disclosure is a positive electrode active material, including lithium iron phosphate coated with carbon layer, and an ID/IG value of the positive electrode active material is 0.75-1.2, wherein a peak intensity at a wave number of 1360 cm−1 is considered as ID and a peak intensity at a wave number of 1580 cm−1 is considered as IG in a Raman spectrum of the positive electrode active material.
As a second aspect, provided in the present disclosure is a lithium-ion battery including the positive electrode active material.
In the present disclosure, the lithium-ion battery includes a positive electrode active material including the lithium iron phosphate coated with carbon layer with the ID/IG value being 0.75-1.2, which increases the desolvation (removal of solventized shell) rate of Li+ at the interface of the electrode and the electrolyte and enhances the desolvation ability, thereby increasing the electrical conductivity of lithium iron phosphate and improving the rate performance and the low-temperature performance of lithium-ion batteries including the positive electrode active material.
In the present disclosure, ID/IG value of the positive electrode active material is 0.75-1.2, which may be, but is not limited to the values listed below, such as 0.75, 0.78, 0.8, 0.82, 0.85, 0.88, 0.9, 0.92, 0.95, 0.98, 1.0, 1.02, 1.05, 1.08, 1.1, 1.12, 1.15, 1.18, and 1.2, and other values in the range but not listed are also applicable.
ID/IG value of the lithium iron phosphate coated with carbon layer of the positive electrode active material in the present disclosure is 0.75-1.2, which increases the desolvation rate of Li+ at the interface between the electrode and electrolyte and enhances the desolvation ability, thereby increasing the conductivity and rate performance of lithium iron phosphate, and improving the low-temperature performance of lithium iron phosphate.
In one implementation, ID/IG value of the positive electrode active material is 0.8-1.0, which may be, but is not limited to the values listed below, such as 0.8, 0.82, 0.85, 0.88, 0.9, 0.92, 0.95, 0.98, and 1.0, and other values in the range but not listed are also applicable.
In the present scheme, the ID/IG value of the positive electrode active material is 0.8-1.0. The ID/IG value is in such a range to further increase the desolvation rate of Li+ at the interface between the electrode and electrolyte and enhance the desolvation ability, thereby increasing the conductivity and rate performance of lithium iron phosphate, and improving the low-temperature performance of lithium iron phosphate.
In one implementation, a thickness of the carbon layer is 2-6 nm, which may be, but is not limited to the values listed below, such as 2 nm, 3 nm, 4 nm, 5 nm, and 6 nm, and other values in the range but not listed are also applicable.
In the present scheme, the thickness of the carbon layer is 2-6 nm, which may cover lithium iron phosphate well, reduce the polarization phenomenon in the migration process, and play a certain shielding role, thereby improving the stability of the battery, while short lithium-ion transport channel is conducive to further improve the rate performance of lithium-ion batteries.
In one implementation, D50 of the positive electrode active material is 0.8-1.6 m, which may be, but is not limited to the values listed below, such as, 0.8 m, 0.9 m, 1.0 m, 1.1 m, 1.2 m, 1.3 m, 1.4 m, 1.5 m, and 1.6 m, and other values in the range but not listed are also applicable.
In the present scheme, the D50 of the positive electrode active material is 0.8-1.6 m. The lithium-ion transport channel is short when the D50 is in such a range, which shortens the diffusion distance of Li+ and improves the rate performance of lithium-ion batteries, and also ensures a sufficiently sized particle diameter so that the positive electrode active material is less likely to form soft agglomerates and avoids blocking during processing.
In one implementation, a method of preparing the positive electrode active material includes following steps: ball-milling a mixture of a FePO4 precursor, a lithium source, a carbon source and a dispersant, and sintering to prepare the positive electrode active material.
In one implementation, the FePO4 precursor includes at least one of FePO4 and FePO4 coated with a carbon source.
In one implementation, the carbon source includes at least one of glucose and polyethylene glycol.
In the present scheme, the carbon source includes at least one of glucose and polyethylene glycol. After melting, glucose may form a liquid with a certain viscosity, which is easy to be coated on the surface of lithium iron phosphate, and a porous carbon layer is formed after carbonization, which is conducive to the infiltration of the electrolyte and the migration of lithium-ions, and improves the rate performance of lithium-ion batteries. The pyrolysis of polyethylene glycol produces highly graphitized carbon, which is conducive to regulating the ID/IG value in the range of 0.75-1.2. The synergistic effect of glucose and polyethylene glycol mentioned above is conducive to further increasing the electrical conductivity as well as rate performance of lithium iron phosphate, and to improving the low-temperature performance of lithium iron phosphate.
In one implementation, the carbon source includes the glucose and the polyethylene glycol, in which a mass ratio of the glucose to the polyethylene glycol is (0.6-1.2):1, which may be, but is not limited to the values listed below, such as, 0.6:1, 0.7:1, 0.8:1, 0.9:1, 1:1, 1.1:1, and 1.2:1, and other values in the range but not listed are also applicable.
In the present scheme, the carbon source includes the glucose and the polyethylene glycol, in which a mass ratio of the glucose to the polyethylene glycol is (0.6-1.2):1. It ensures that the carbon coating layer of the positive electrode active material is of sufficiently porous structure, which is conducive to the infiltration of the electrolyte and the migration of lithium-ions, and improves the rate performance of lithium-ion batteries; and it is also conducive to regulating the ID/IG to an ID/IG value in the range of 0.75-1.2, which is conducive to further increasing the electrical conductivity of lithium iron phosphate as well as its rate performance, and improving the low-temperature performance of lithium iron phosphate.
