Technical Field
The invention relates to a modified lithium ion battery anode material coated with a strong electronegative organic layer and a preparation method thereof; belongs to the technical field of high-performance battery development.
Background
The lithium ion battery has the advantages of high energy density, high working voltage, long cycle life, environmental friendliness and the like, and becomes an energy storage medium with the greatest prospect and the greatest potential. Currently, the development of novel high-voltage positive electrode materials, such as lithium nickel manganese oxide, lithium cobalt oxide, lithium manganese oxide, lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode materials, is an effective means for improving the energy density and power density of lithium ion batteries. However, under high voltage, serious side reactions occur between the electrolyte and the surface of the positive electrode material, the dissolution rate of transition metal ions in the positive electrode material is increased, and the irreversible loss of the transition metal ions causes the instability of the positive electrode active material structure, thereby affecting the electrochemical performance of the high voltage positive electrode material. And the dissolved transition metal ions are deposited on the surface of the negative electrode through the electrolyte, so that the oxidative decomposition of lithium salt and solvent molecules and the consumption of lithium are catalyzed, and the solid electrolyte interface on the negative electrode side is damaged, so that the impedance of the battery is increased, and irreversible capacity attenuation is caused.
At present, in order to solve the problem of the dissolution of transition metal ions, a surface coating method is generally adopted to improve the electrochemical performance of the cathode material, such as carbon materials and inorganic materials. However, under high temperature and high voltage, the carbon material or inorganic material coating layer falls off due to the excessive volume expansion and contraction change of the active material lattice, the dissolution of the positive active material in the electrolyte is still serious, the coating layer with single function can not simultaneously realize the dissolution and deposition of transition metal ions and the protection of the structure transformation of the positive active material, and the battery cycle performance is not greatly improved.
Therefore, in view of the above, it is necessary to provide a multifunctional surface coating material for a high voltage positive electrode material by modifying the surface of the positive electrode material.
