It can be seen that the morphology of the material obtained in example 2 was not significantly changed compared with comparative example 2, but the binder and carbon black and the like on the surface had reacted thoroughly, and the foreign matter residue was reduced.
2. Electrochemical performance test
Assembling the battery:
9.0g of positive electrode active material, 0.5g of acetylene black (SP) conductive agent and 0.5gPVDF (HSV-900) binder are weighed, fully mixed, added with N-methyl-pyrrolidone (NMP) solvent until the solid content is 70%, dispersed, homogenized uniformly and then pulled on an aluminum foil with the thickness of 16 mu m to prepare the positive electrode plate. The positive electrode plate, the metal lithium plate negative electrode plate, the ceramic diaphragm (thickness 16 μm) and LiPF 6 electrolyte (concentration 1mol/L, solvent is mixed solvent of ethyl carbonate EC: dimethyl carbonate DMC: diethyl carbonate EMC volume ratio=1:1:1) are assembled into a battery in an anaerobic glove box, a standard half-battery configuration is adopted, and a battery shell adopts a (CR 2032) button battery.
The materials obtained in comparative examples 1 to 2 and examples 1 to 2 were each subjected to the above-described battery assembly process as a positive electrode active material.
Ii. Testing of batteries:
The battery was subjected to charge and discharge tests at a current density of 0.2C at a voltage of 4.3 to 3.0V, and as a result, see fig. 3 to 4, respectively, fig. 3 is a graph of capacity of the battery assembled from the materials obtained in example 1 and comparative example 1, and fig. 4 is a graph of capacity of the battery assembled from the materials obtained in example 2 and comparative example 2.
As can be seen from FIG. 3, the discharge capacity of comparative example 1 is brought into 90.88mAh/g, while the discharge capacity of example 1 can reach 154.70mAh/g, the gram capacity is improved by 63.82mAh/g, and the improvement rate reaches 70%.
As can be seen from FIG. 4, the discharge capacity of comparative example 2 is up to 106.30mAh/g, while the discharge capacity of example 2 can be up to 164.01mAh/g, the gram capacity is improved by 57.71mAh/g, and the improvement rate is up to 54%.
The test results of fig. 3-4 prove that the comparative example is directly sintered without adding inorganic salt and lithium source, which causes corrosion of HF on the surface of the material, structural deterioration and low discharge capacity, and the material structure can be effectively repaired after the treatment by the method of the embodiment, so that the discharge capacity of the material is obviously increased.
Example 4
The procedure is as in example 1, except that the inorganic salt Na 2CO3 is replaced with MgCO 3 and the lithium source lithium carbonate is replaced with lithium hydroxide.
Example 5
The procedure is as in example 1, except that the inorganic salt Na 2CO3 is replaced by CaSO 4.
Comparative example 3
The procedure is as in example 1, except that the amount of Na 2CO3 in step b) is increased to 30000ppm and the amount of lithium carbonate in step d) is decreased to 100ppm.
Example 6: product testing
The electrochemical properties of examples 4 to 5 and comparative example 3 were tested according to the test method in example 3, and the results are shown in table 1.
Table 1: electrochemical Properties
Positive electrode active material Discharge capacity, mAh/g
Example 1 154.70
Example 2 164.01
Example 4 151.90
Example 5 150.40
Comparative example 1 90.88
Comparative example 2 106.30
Comparative example 3 141.10
As can be seen from the test results in Table 1, the discharge capacity of the materials obtained in examples 1-2,4-5 of the present invention reaches more than 150mAh/g, and excellent electrochemical performance is exhibited. Compared with the example 1, the discharge capacity of the comparative examples 1-2 is obviously reduced, and the direct sintering without adding inorganic salt and lithium source proves that HF corrodes the surface of the material, the structure is deteriorated, and the discharge capacity is very low. The discharge capacity of comparative example 3 is also significantly reduced compared to example 1, and it is demonstrated that the material performance is reduced if the amount of the inorganic salt and the lithium source is too low or too high, and the discharge capacity of the material can be effectively improved by controlling the amount of the inorganic salt and the lithium source to be certain amounts.
