Description

富锂层状氧化物材料及其制备方法与应用
本申请要求于2022年12月20日提交中国专利局、申请号为202211638986.6、发明名称为“一种富锂层状氧化物材料及其制备方法与应用”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本发明属于电池材料领域,尤其涉及一种富锂层状氧化物材料及其制备方法与应用。
背景技术
近年来新能源汽车的快速发展对锂二次电池的能量密度、循环寿命和功率密度提出了更高的要求,而正极材料是锂二次电池性能突破的关键因素。富锂层状氧化物正极材料(LLO)具有超过250mAh/g的高比容量和4.8V的高工作电压,并且成本低廉,受到研究者的广泛关注。但是,首次充电过程中电化学惰性Li2MnO3组分的电化学活化,在带来高容量和能量密度的同时,也引起材料表面结构的转变,表现为过渡金属离子的迁移、晶格错位、氧空位的产生与转移,导致缓慢的锂离子动力学和严重的电池容量衰减。
通常而言,离子传输动力学很大程度上取决于电极材料的主体结构和离子扩散通道。稳定的主体结构可以避免晶格和扩散通道的坍塌,有利于稳定实现可逆的离子嵌入与脱出。和传统层状正极材料一样,LLO材料的锂离子脱嵌方向均沿平行于(001)晶面方向,因此具有暴露的{010}晶面的材料设计,包括(010)、(110)、(100)、(0-10)、(1-10)和(-100)平面,可以降低Li脱嵌势垒,提高锂离子扩散速度。然而,相关研究表明LLO材料中{010}晶面表面能较高,生长速度大于低表面能晶面,最终在晶体生长过程中消失。因此,特殊优势晶面暴露的LLO材料的合成依旧是一个难点。
高熵材料,是近年来提出的一类含有5种及以上元素,并以等摩尔或近摩尔比相互固溶而得到的单一相材料,在热力学、动力学、微观结构和性能等方面表现出独特的效应,即高熵效应、迟滞扩散效应、晶格畸变效应等。因此,结合高熵材料的组分设计优势,优化LLO层状材料的结构特征,开发具有高 倍率、长寿命的锂电池正极材料,具有十分重要的意义。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。
为了克服现有LLO材料的缺陷,本发明提供了一种富锂层状氧化物材料及其制备方法与应用,其所要解决的核心技术问题在于:LLO材料不可逆的相变和阴离子氧化还原反应引起的结构扭曲和过渡金属离子重排,导致缓慢的锂离子传输动力学,严重的电池容量衰减和电压衰减。为此,本发明通过多种阳离子的高熵组分设计,提高了系统构型熵,为LLO材料提供高的结构稳定性和稳定的离子扩散通道;同时,熵的变化会影响体系和晶面的能量,实现吉布斯自由能的局部最小化,诱导具有锂离子快速传输通道的{010}晶面的暴露,{010}晶面的面积占比>20%,为离子快速迁移提供更多通道,提高电极反应动力学。
需要说明的是,本发明技术方案与传统的金属离子掺杂的LLO材料相比,其关键区别在于,本发明是通过多阳离子组分设计形成高熵固溶体,这种组分设计可以提高系统构型熵,诱导具有锂离子快速传输通道的{010}晶面的暴露,从而提高材料的电化学性能;而传统的单金属离子或多金属离子掺杂,则是以较高的金属-氧键能提升晶体结构的稳定性,实现材料电化学性能的提升。
本发明的原理如下:
多组分材料体系中的构型熵(Sconfig)主要依赖于元素的种类及其摩尔分数,可以根据以下公式量化:
式(1)中,xi和xj分别为阳离子和阴离子的摩尔分数,R是气体常数。
材料中不同晶面暴露的表面能一般与温度、体系中的构型熵(Sconfig)和振动熵(Svib)相关,可用公式表示为:
γ(T)=γ0–(T/A)(Sconfig+Svib)    (2);
式(2)中,γ0为0K时材料的表面能,A为亥姆霍兹是自由能,T为温度。
由此可以看出,组分简单、熵值低的系统表面能主要受温度的影响,而组分多、熵值高的系统表面能主要受构型熵的影响;本发明通过多阳离子高熵组分调控,实现了特定性{010}晶面的大面积暴露,提高电极材料结构的稳定性和电化学性能。
为实现上述目的,本发明具体提出如下技术方案:

实施例1与对比例1~2所制备的氧化物材料在锂二次电池测试中的倍率性能测试结果如图5所示,图5为本发明提供的实施例1、对比例1与对比例2所制备的氧化物材料在锂二次电池测试中的倍率性能对比图;实施例1~7与对比例1~2所制备的氧化物材料在锂二次电池测试中的倍率性能数据如表3所示:
表3

通过对比分析表1~3以及图4~5可以看出:1)实施例1~7与对比例1所制备的氧化物材料的构型熵值与{010}晶面的暴露比例呈正相关;2)对比例2虽然引入了多种阳离子的高熵组分设计,构型熵与实施例1相同,但由于采用的喷雾干燥工艺,相较于实施例1的共沉淀反应制备前驱体后混锂煅烧工艺,晶面调控阻力更大,而未能实现{010}晶面的大面积暴露;3)以实施例1~7所制备的氧化物材料作为正极材料的锂二次电池表现出更高的锂离子扩散速率,且循环100周后容量保持率明显高于对比例1~2;4)以实施例1~7所制备的氧化物材料作为正极材料的锂二次电池在10C高倍率下放电容量保持率(10C放电容量/0.2C放电容量)均远高于对比例1~2。
以上所述仅是本发明的优选实施方式,应当指出,对于本技术领域的普通技术人员来说,在不脱离本发明原理的前提下,还可以做出若干改进和润饰,这些改进和润饰也应视为本发明的保护范围。
