正极活性材料
具体而言,本申请的第一方面提出了一种具有核-壳结构的正极活性材料,包括内核、包覆所述内核的第一包覆层以及包覆所述第一包覆层的第二包覆层,其中,所述内核具有化学式Li aA xMn 1-yB yP 1-zC zO 4-nD n,其中,所述A包括选自Zn、Al、Na、K、Mg、Nb、Mo和W中的一种或多种元素,所述B包括选自Ti、V、Zr、Fe、Ni、Mg、Co、Ga、Sn、Sb、Nb和Ge中的一种或多种元素,所述C包括选自B(硼)、S、Si和N中的一种或多种元素,所述D包括选自S、F、Cl和Br中的一种或多种元素,所述a选自0.9至1.1的范围,所述x选自0.001至0.1的范围,所述y选自0.001至0.5的范围,所述z选自0.001至0.1的范围,所述n选自0.001至0.1的范围,并且所述内核为电中性的;所述第一包覆层包括含有吸电子基团的第一聚合物;所述第二包覆层包括第二聚合物,所述第二聚合物包括植物多糖、海洋多糖及其各自的衍生物中的一种或多种。
除非另有说明,否则上述化学式中,当A为两种以上元素时,上述对于x数值范围的限定不仅是对每种作为A的元素的化学计量数的限定,也是对各个作为A的元素的化学计量数之和的限定。例如当A为两种以上元素A1、A2……An时,A1、A2……An各自的化学计量数x1、x2……xn各自均需落入本申请对x限定的数值范围内,且x1、x2……xn之和也需落入该数值范围内。类似地,对于B、C和D为两种以上元素的情况,本申请中对B、C和D化学计量数的数值范围的限定也具有上述含义。
本申请的正极活性材料内核通过在化合物LiMnPO 4中进行元素掺杂而获得,其中,A、B、C和D分别为在化合物LiMnPO 4的Li位、Mn位、P位和O位掺杂的元素。不希望囿于理论,现认为磷酸锰锂的性能提升与减小脱嵌锂过程中磷酸锰锂的晶格变化率和降低表面活性有关。减小晶格变化率可减小晶界处两相间的晶格常数差异,减小界面应力,增强Li +在界面处的传输能力,从而提升正极活性材料的倍率性能。而表面活性高容易导致界面副反应严重,加剧产气、电解液消耗和破坏界面,从而影响电池的循环等性能。本申请中,通过Li和Mn位掺杂减小了晶格变化率。Mn位掺杂还有效降低表面活性,从而抑制锰离子溶出和正极活性材料与电解液的界面副反应。P位掺杂使Mn-O键长的变 化速率更快,降低材料的小极化子迁移势垒,从而有利于提升电子电导率。O位掺杂对减小界面副反应有良好的作用。P位和O位的掺杂还对反位缺陷的锰离子溶出及动力学性能产生影响。
因此,掺杂减小了正极活性材料中反位缺陷浓度,提高正极活性材料的动力学性能和克容量,还可以改变颗粒的形貌,从而提升压实密度。本申请的发明人意外地发现:通过在化合物LiMnPO 4的Li位、Mn位、P位和O位同时以特定量掺杂特定的元素,能够获得改善的倍率性能,同时减少了Mn与Mn位掺杂元素的溶出,获得了改善的循环性能和/或高温稳定性,并且正极活性材料的克容量和压实密度也可以得到提高。可选地,所述A为选自Zn、Al、Na、K、Mg、Nb、Mo和W中的一种或多种元素,所述B为选自Ti、V、Zr、Fe、Ni、Mg、Co、Ga、Sn、Sb、Nb和Ge中的一种或多种元素,所述C为选自B(硼)、S、Si和N中的一种或多种元素,所述D为选自S、F、Cl和Br中的一种或多种元素。
内核表面具有第一包覆层和第二包覆层,可以将内核材料和电解液分隔开,避免内核材料和电解液直接接触,从而减少了界面副反应。第一包覆层与内核直接接触并且包括含有吸电子基团的第一聚合物,这些吸电子基团能够稳定内核材料表面的Mn 3+,从而能够明显减少Mn与Mn位掺杂元素的溶出。可选地,所述吸电子基团包括选自卤素原子、-CN、-COOH、-SO 3H、羧酸酯基、磺酸酯基、酰胺基、磺酰基、烷氧基、磷酸基、亚磷酸基、磷酸酯基、亚磷酸酯基中的一种或多种。第二包覆层包括多糖及其衍生物,其能与电解液中的PF 5等路易斯酸结合,减少HF的产生,从而缓解电解液中酸性物质对正极活性材料表面的侵蚀。在本申请中,多糖衍生物包括但不限于酸化(硫酸化、磺酸化、磷酸化)、乙酰化多糖。
因此,在内核表面包覆第一包覆层和第二包覆层后,能够明显减少Mn与Mn位掺杂元素的溶出,缓解电解液中酸性物质对正极活性材料表面的侵蚀,从而能够显著改善电池的循环性能和/或高温稳定性。
需要指出的是,本申请中通过对比LiMnPO 4掺杂前后XRD谱图发现,本申请的正极活性材料与LiMnPO 4掺杂前的主要特征峰的位置基本一致,说明掺杂的磷酸锰锂正极活性材料没有杂质相,电池性能的改善主要来自元素掺杂,而不是杂质相导致的。
在一些实施方式中,所述A、C和D各自独立地为上述各自范围内的任一种元素,并且所述B为其范围内的至少两种元素。由此,能够更容易且准确地控制正极活性材料内核的组成。
可选地,所述A为选自Mg和Nb中的任一种元素。
可选地,所述B为选自Fe、Ti、V、Co和Mg中的至少两种元素,可选地为Fe与选自Ti、V、Co和Mg中的一种以上元素。
可选地,所述C为S。
可选地,所述D为F。

正极活性材料、正极极片及电池性能测试方法
1.晶格变化率测量方法
在25℃恒温环境下,将正极活性材料样品置于X射线衍射仪(型号为Bruker D8 Discover)中,采用1°/分钟对样品进行测试,并对测试数据进行整理分析,参照标准PDF卡片,计算出此时的晶格常数a0、b0、c0和v0(a0、b0和c0表示晶胞各个方向上的长度大小,v0表示晶胞体积,可通过XRD精修结果直接获取)。
采用上述实施例中扣电制备方法,将所述正极活性材料样品制备成扣电,并对上述扣电以0.05C小倍率进行充电,直至电流减小至0.01C。然后将扣电中的正极极片取出,并置于DMC中浸泡8小时。然后烘干,刮粉,并筛选出其中粒径小于500nm的颗粒。取样并按照与上述测试新鲜样品同样的方式计算出其晶格常数v1,将(v0-v1)/v0×100%作为其完全脱嵌锂前后的晶格变化率示于表中。
2.Li/Mn反位缺陷浓度测量方法
将“晶格变化率测量方法”中测试的XRD结果与标准晶体的PDF(Powder Diffraction File)卡片对比,得出Li/Mn反位缺陷浓度。具体而言,将“晶格变化率测量方法”中测试的XRD结果导入通用结构分析系统(GSAS)软件中,自动获得精修结果,其中包含了不同原子的占位情况,通过读取精修结果获得Li/Mn反位缺陷浓度。
3.表面氧价态测量方法
取5g正极活性材料样品按照上述实施例中所述扣电制备方法制备成扣电。对扣电采用0.05C小倍率进行充电,直至电流减小至0.01C。然后将扣电中的正极极片取出,并置于DMC中浸泡8小时。然后烘干,刮粉,并筛选出其中粒径小于500nm的颗粒。将所得 颗粒用电子能量损失谱(EELS,所用仪器型号为Talos F200S)进行测量,获取能量损失近边结构(ELNES),其反映元素的态密度和能级分布情况。根据态密度和能级分布,通过对价带态密度数据进行积分,算出占据的电子数,从而推算出充电后的表面氧的价态。
4.压实密度测量方法
取5g正极活性材料样品粉末放于压实专用模具(美国CARVER模具,型号13mm)中,然后将模具放在压实密度仪器上。施加3T(吨)的压力,在设备上读出压力下粉末的厚度(卸压后的厚度,用于测试的容器的面积为1540.25mm 2),通过ρ=m/v,计算出压实密度。
5.循环后Mn(以及Mn位掺杂的Fe)溶出量测量方法
将45℃下循环至容量衰减至80%后的全电池采用0.1C倍率进行放电至截止电压2.0V。然后将电池拆开,取出负极极片,在负极极片上随机取30个单位面积(1540.25mm 2)的圆片,用Agilent ICP-OES730测试电感耦合等离子体发射光谱(ICP)。根据ICP结果计算其中Fe(如果正极活性材料的Mn位掺杂有Fe的话)和Mn的量,从而计算循环后Mn(以及Mn位掺杂的Fe)的溶出量。测试标准依据EPA-6010D-2014。
6.扣式电池初始克容量测量方法
在25℃恒温环境下,将扣式电池按照0.1C充电至4.3V,然后在4.3V下恒压充电至电流小于等于0.05mA,静置5分钟,然后按照0.1C放电至2.0V,此时的放电容量为初始克容量,记为D0。
7. 3C充电恒流比测量方法
在25℃恒温环境下,将新鲜全电池静置5分钟,按照1/3C放电至2.5V。静置5分钟,按照1/3C充电至4.3V,然后在4.3V下恒压充电至电流小于等于0.05mA。静置5分钟,记录此时的充电容量为C0。按照1/3C放电至2.5V,静置5分钟,再按照3C充电至4.3V,静置5分钟,记录此时的充电容量为C1。3C充电恒流比即为C1/C0×100%。
3C充电恒流比越高,说明电池的倍率性能越好。
8.全电池45℃循环性能测试
在45℃的恒温环境下,将全电池按照1C充电至4.3V,然后在4.3V下恒压充电至电流小于等于0.05mA。静置5分钟,然后按照1C放电至2.5V,记录此时的放电容量为E0。重复前述充放电循环,直至放电容量降低到E0的80%。记录此时电池经过的循环圈数。
9.全电池60℃胀气测试
在60℃下,存储100%充电状态(SOC)的全电池。在存储前后及过程中测量电池的开路电压(OCV)和交流内阻(IMP)以监控SOC,并测量电池的体积。其中在每存储48小时后取出全电池,静置1小时后测试开路电压(OCV)、内阻(IMP),并在冷却至室温后用排水法测量电池体积。排水法即先用表盘数据自动进行单位转换的天平单独测量电池的重力F 1,然后将电池完全置于去离子水(密度已知为1g/cm 3)中,测量此时的电池的重力F 2,电池受到的浮力F 即为F 1-F 2,然后根据阿基米德原理F =ρ×g×V ,计算得到电池体积V=(F 1-F 2)/(ρ×g)。
由OCV、IMP测试结果来看,本测试过程中直至存储结束,实施例的电池始终保持99%以上的SOC。
存储30天后,测量电池体积,并计算相对于存储前的电池体积,存储后的电池体积增加的百分比。

由上述表3和表4可见,本申请实施例的各正极活性材料均在循环性能、高温稳定性、克容量和压实密度中的一个甚至全部方面实现了比对比例更优的效果。通过在LiMnPO 4的Li位、Mn位、P位和O位同时以特定量掺杂特定的元素,能够获得改善的倍率性能,同时减少Mn和Fe溶出量,获得了改善的循环性能和/或高温稳定性,并且正极活性材料的克容量和压实密度也可以得到提高。第一包覆层和第二包覆层的存在能够明显减少Mn与Fe的溶出量,缓解电解液中酸性物质对正极活性材料表面的侵蚀,从而能够显著改善电池的循环性能和/或高温稳定性。
由实施例18-20、23-25之间相比,可以看出,在其他元素相同的情况下,(1-y):y在1至4范围内,能够进一步提升二次电池的能量密度和循环性能。
图7示出未掺杂的LiMnPO 4和实施例2制备的正极活性材料内核的X射线衍射图谱(XRD)图。由图中可以看出,实施例2的正极活性材料内核的XRD图中主要特征峰位置与未掺杂的LiMnPO 4的一致,说明掺杂过程没有引入杂质相,性能的改善主要是来自元素掺杂,而不是杂相导致的。图8示出实施例2制备的正极活性材料内核的X射线能量色散谱(EDS)图。图中点状分布的为各掺杂元素。由图中可以看出实施例2的正极活性材料内核中,元素掺杂均匀。
接下来发明人考察了包覆层对正极活性材料性能和二次电池性能的影响。
实施例28-51以类似于实施例1中的方法进行,不同之处参见下表5。实施例52-60以类似于实施例1中的方法进行,不同之处参见下表6。表7示出实施例28-51的正极活性材料、正极极片、扣电或全电按照上述性能测试方法测得的性能数据。表8示出实施例52-60的正极活性材料、正极极片、扣电或全电按照上述性能测试方法测得的性能数据。 表5
