本申请的发明人发现,层状正极活性材料体系LiaNibCocM1dM2eOfR′g在低SOC处倍率耐受边界较差,而正极活性材料Li1+xM3nMn1-yA′yP1-zEzO4在放电快结束时存在有低压放电平台(普遍不大于3.5V),通过将其与上述层状正极活性材料进行掺混,可以利用Li1+xM3nMn1-yA′yP1-zEzO4在低电压处的放电平台使掺混后的复合正极活性材料的整体放电曲线在接近结束时存在一个放电平台,当电池放电到该平台时,由于电池电压随容量变化幅度较小,因此相当于对层状正极活性材料进行一定程度的恒压放电,从而可以缓解先前在低电压处放电过程中的极化作用,改善实际可用容量;并且,正极活性材料体系Li1+xM3nMn1-yA′yP1-zEzO4还受限于在高SOC处倍率耐受边界较差的问题,通过将其与层状正极活性材料体系LiaNibCocM1dM2eOfR′g掺混使用,可以同时弥补两个体系的缺陷,拓宽高低SOC处倍率耐受边界,从而提升快充能力,并能兼顾循环性能;此外,正极活性材料LiaNibCocM1dM2eOfR′g的能量密度更高,正极活性材料Li1+xM3nMn1-yA′yP1-zEzO4的循环性能和安全性更高,通过将二者进行掺混,还可以进一步兼具较高的高能量密度和较好的循环性能,再者,正极活性材料Li1+xM3nMn1-yA′yP1-zEzO4在充放电过程中的晶格收缩率相对较大,将两种体系的正极活性材料进行掺混还有利于进一步匹配电池负极片的膨胀,改善电池的长期性能;进一步地,发明人在探索过程中还发现,正极片中Ni含量高有助于电池能量密度提升,但Ni含量过高又会损伤循环性能,Mn含量高有助于循环性能,但过高又会损伤电池能量密度,A′元素含量高有助循环性能提升,但过高又会损伤电池能量密度,进一步地,正极片电阻过高也会影响电池功率和循环性能,而通过控制正极片中A′元素、Ni元素、Mn元素的摩尔数以及正极片电阻满足上式公式所给范围,可以进一步同时保证正极片和电池具有良好的快充能力和较好的循环性能,并有利于获得高能量密度。
进一步地,发明人经深入研究还发现,本申请的正极片在满足上述条件的基础上,还可以进一步控制正极片中的元素摩尔量和/或相对用量、正极活性材料选择、极片电阻、极片活性物质层涂覆量等来进一步改善正极片的性能。即,在满足上述条件的基础上,还可选地满足下述条件中的一个或多个。
在本申请的一些实施方式中,第一正极活性材料可以部分为LiaNibCocM1dM2eOfR′g,也可以全部为LiaNibCocM1dM2eOfR′g,其中,0.75≤a≤1.2,0<b<1,0<c<1,0<d<1,0≤e≤0.2,1≤f≤2.5,0≤g≤1,f+g≤3,M1为Mn元素和/或Al元素,M2包括Zr、Zn、 Cu、Cr、Mg、Fe、V、Ti、Sr、Sb、Y、W、Nb中的一种或多种元素,R′包括N、F、S、Cl中的一种或多种元素。可选地,0.5≤b<1、0<c≤0.5、0<d≤0.5,使正极活性材料LiaNibCocM1dM2eOfR′g满足上述所给范围条件,更有利于使兼具较高的能量密度、良好的循环性能和较长的循环寿命,正极活性材料LiaNibCocM1dM2eOfR′g中,以镍钴锰三元正极活性材料(即NCM)体系为例,提高镍含量可以提高正极材料的体积能量密度;提高锰含量可以降低材料成本,提高材料的安全性和结构稳定性,改善循环性能,但过高的锰含量会破坏材料的层状结构,使材料的比容量降低;钴可以稳定材料的层状结构,提高材料的循环和倍率性能,但过高的钴含量会导致实际容量降低,通过使镍钴锰含量满足上述所给范围条件,有利于使正极片和电池具有较高的能量密度、良好的倍率性能和循环性能。可选地,M1可以为Mn元素,第一正极活性材料可以为NCM体系的正极活性材料,此时其通式可以为LiaNibCocMndM2eOfR′g,例如可以为镍钴锰三元层状正极活性材料。
在本申请的一些实施例中,第二正极活性材料可以部分为Li1+xM3nMn1-yA′yP1-zEzO4,也可以全部为Li1+xM3nMn1-yA′yP1-zEzO4,其中,-0.100≤x≤0.100,0≤n≤1.1,0.001≤y≤1,0≤z≤0.100,M3包括Zn、Al、Na、K、Mg、Nb、Mo和W中的一种或多种元素,A′包括Zn、Al、Na、K、Mg、Mo、W、Ti、V、Zr、Fe、Ga、Sn、Sb、Nb和Ge中的一种或多种元素,E包括B、Si、N、S、F、Cl和Br中的一种或多种元素,在锂位、锰位和磷位中的至少之一进行掺杂,均可以辅助提升该正极活性材料的性能,例如可以改善界面性能,降低与电解液的界面副反应,降低反位缺陷浓度,提升材料动力学性能和克容量等,同时通过对锰位掺杂元素进行调控,还可以改善颗粒形貌,提升压实密度,具体地,上述第二正极活性材料在充放电过程中的晶格体积变化率相较于第一正极活性材料较大,可以较好的匹配负极在充电过程中的体积膨胀,但若正极材料的晶格体积变化率过高又不利于锂离子的传输,锰位掺杂的元素A′选自上述元素有助于适当减小该材料在脱嵌锂过程中的晶格变化率,提高该正极材料的结构稳定性,减少锰位元素的溶出并降低颗粒表面的氧活性,进而可提高材料的克容量,并降低材料在使用过程中和电解液的界面副反应,进而提升材料的循环性能等;在磷位掺杂的元素E选自上述元素还有助于改变Mn-O键长变化的难易程度,从而改善电子电导并降低锂离子迁移势垒,促进锂离子迁移,提高倍率性能和快充性能;类似地,在锂位掺杂的元素M3选自上述元素也有助于改善材料的晶格变化率并保持材料的容量。如果x的值过小,会导致整个内核体系的含锂量降低,影响材料的克容量发挥。y值会限制所有掺杂元素的总量,影响体系中的锰含量和材料的电压平台。E元素掺杂在磷的位置,由于P-O四面体较稳定,z值过大会影响材料的稳定性。当x、y和z选自上述范围时,正极活性材料可以具有更好的性能。此外,上述掺杂元素和x、n、y、z值的选择,还可以使Li1+xM3nMn1-yA′yP1-zEzO4保持电中性,而保持电中性能够保证该 正极活性材料中的缺陷和杂相尽量少,以磷酸锰锂体系的正极活性材料为例,如果存在过量的过渡金属(例如锰),由于该材料体系本身结构较稳定,那么多余的过渡金属很可能会以单质的形式析出,或在晶格内部形成杂相,保持电中性可使这样的杂相尽量少;另外,保证体系电中性还可以在部分情况下使正极活性材料中产生锂空位,从而使正极活性材料的动力学性能更优异。与现有可应用于高电压体系的磷酸锰锂、磷酸铁锂、磷酸锰铁锂等材料相比更有利于获得较好的循环性能和高温稳定性,以及较大的克容量和较大的压实密度。可以理解的是,本申请中所述的“锰位”掺杂中,锰位仅代表正极活性材料Li1+xM3nMn1-yA′yP1-zEzO4晶格中锰元素或A′元素的位置,而不代表锰位中一定有锰元素,锰位上的锰元素可以部分或全部被A′元素取代,例如当y值取到1时,第二正极活性材料Li1+xM3nMn1-yA′yP1-zEzO4中不含锰元素,例如此时锰位上可以包括铁元素或者同时包括铁元素与其它掺杂元素。
在本申请的一些实施方式中,第二正极活性材料Li1+xM3nMn1-yA′yP1-zEzO4中,E可以包括B、Si、N和S中的一种或多种元素,通过使磷位掺杂的元素E选自所给范围可以进一步有助于改变Mn-O键长变化的难易程度,从而改善电子电导并降低锂离子迁移势垒,促进锂离子迁移,提高材料的倍率性能和快充性能。
在本申请的一些实施方式中,第二正极活性材料Li1+xM3nMn1-yA′yP1-zEzO4中,A′可以包括Fe、Ti、V和Mg中的一种或多种元素。可选地,A′可以为Fe元素;再可选地,A′可以为选自Fe、Ti、V和Mg中的至少两种元素;又可选地,A′可以为Fe元素与选自Ti、V和Mg中的一种或多种元素。通过使锰位掺杂的元素A′选自所给范围可以进一步改善正极材料的结构稳定性、克容量、循环性能、倍率性能等,得到兼具较好循环寿命和快充性能的正极片。
在本申请的一些实施例中,第二正极活性材料Li1+xM3nMn1-yA′yP1-zEzO4中,可以在锰位和磷位同时进行掺杂,由此不仅可以有效减少锰位元素的溶出,进而减少迁移到负极的锰位离子,减少因SEI膜分解而消耗的电解液,提高电池的循环性能和安全性能,还能够促进Mn-O键调整,降低锂离子迁移势垒,促进锂离子迁移,提高倍率性能和快充性能。再可选地,还可以在锂位、锰位和磷位同时进行掺杂,由此可进一步获得明显改善的倍率性能,改善的循环性能和/或高温稳定性。
本申请中,针对上述第一正极活性材料的化学式LiaNibCocM1dM2eOfR′g和第二正极活性材料的化学式Li1+xM3nMn1-yA′yP1-zEzO4,除非另有说明,否则当某掺杂位点具有两种以上元素时,对化学式中相应掺杂位点元素的化学计量数的数值范围的限定不仅是对每种作为该位点的元素的化学计量数的限定,也是对各个作为该位点的元素的化学计量数之和的限定。例如,以第二正极活性材料Li1+xM3nMn1-yA′yP1-zEzO4的化学式为例,当A1′为两种 以上元素A1′、A2′……An′时,A1′、A2′……An′各自的化学计量数y1、y2……yn各自均需落入本申请对y限定的数值范围内,且y1、y2……yn之和也需落入该数值范围内。类似地,对于M3或E为两种以上元素的情况,本申请对M3和E化学计量数的数值范围的限定也具有上述含义。
在本申请的一些实施方式中,的值可为0.005、0.01、0.02、0.05、0.1、0.15、0.2、0.25、0.3、0.35、0.4、0.45等,或可为以上任何数值所组成的范围;可选地,再可选地,通过控制正极片中A′元素、Ni元素、Mn元素的摩尔数以及正极片电阻满足该所给范围,可以进一步保证良好的快充能力、高能量密度和较好的循环性能。
在本申请的一些实施方式中,正极片还满足:其中,n(P)为正极片中磷元素P的摩尔量,单位为mol,的值可以为0.2、0.25、0.3、0.35、0.4、0.45、0.5、0.55、0.6、0.65、0.7、0.75、0.8、0.85、0.9、0.95、1.0、1.05、1.15、1.2、1.25、1.3、1.35、1.4、1.45等,或者可以为以上任何数值所组成的范围。相对于第二正极活性材料Li1+xM3nMn1-yA′yP1-zEzO4,第一正极活性材料LiaNibCocM1dM2eOfR′g的比容量更高,导电性能好也更好,其中,第一正极活性材料LiaNibCocM1dM2eOfR′g中Ni含量的提升有助于电池能量密度的提升,但其含量过高会损伤循环性能;第二正极活性材料中A′元素的含量影响材料的电压平台和循环性能,A′元素含量高有助于循环性能改善,但平台电压会有明显损失,不利于电池能量密度,相反地,A′元素含量低有助于平台电压提升,但材料循环性能会变差,选择合适的含量范围有利于使第二正极活性材料同时兼顾较高的平台电压和较好的循环性能,例如,作为一个具体示例,当锰位同时包含锰元素和铁元素时,锰铁比较高时能够提高电压平台,有利于提高电池的能量密度,但锰铁比过高时,脱锂态大量三价锰可能会破坏固溶体结构,降低材料的比容量和循环容量保持率,导致循环性能变差,影响正极寿命。本申请中,正极片中Ni元素的含量是由第一正极活性材料提供的,磷元素是由第二正极活性材料提供的,Mn元素和A′元素可由第一正极活性材料和/或第二正极活性材料提供,本申请中在满足A′元素、Ni元素、Mn元素的摩尔数以及正极片电阻R的关系式的基础上,进一步使的值在所给范围内,不仅可以使第一正极活性材料和第二正极活性材料具有适宜的掺混比例,还可以使第二正极活性材料具有适宜的A′元素含量范围,获得较好的循环性能,由此,可以在拓宽电池高低SOC处倍率耐受边界,提升快充能力的基础上,进一步兼顾较高的能量密度和较好的循环性能。可选地, 由此可以进一步使快充性能提升的同时,兼顾较高的能量密度和较好的循环性能。
本申请中,正极片中各元素的摩尔量可通过ICP测试得到,例如,可以通过如下操作进行:取干燥正极片约0.4g(精确至0.0001g)或湿润正极片0.1g(精确至0.0001g)于30ml消解罐中,保留1个不加样品的消解罐作为空白样,将装有正极片样品的消解罐移到通风橱内加入12ml逆王水,逆王水加入时沿消解罐内壁加入,使内壁上残留样品被冲入罐底,之后依次安装顶盖,隔热套,垫片,微波消解装置,螺母,使用扳手拧紧螺母,随后打开微波消解仪,将微波消解仪中光纤传感器插入先前组装好装有样品的消解罐底部,平衡放置消解罐于微波消解仪中,开始消解(消解程序6min升温至120℃保持8min,5min升温至160℃保持8min,5min升温至180℃保持5min),结束后冷却到室温取出,将消解罐置于通风橱内,缓慢拧开螺母放气,依次将先前安装零件取下,通过漏斗(需垫滤纸)转移消解罐中溶液到100ml容量瓶中,随后用超纯水冲洗消解罐,将冲洗液也转入容量瓶中,每次冲洗用超纯水10ml,将100ml容量瓶中溶液摇匀,使用移液枪取1ml摇匀溶液加入另一个100ml容量瓶中,随后加入超纯水定容(溶液总共达到100ml),最后使用ICP-OES测试样品溶液。其中,配置逆王水时可以将1000ml超纯水倒入2500ml玻璃瓶中,随后依次加入750ml浓硝酸和250ml浓盐酸,搅拌均匀后待用,其中浓硝酸购买市售质量分数为68%的浓硝酸溶液即可,浓盐酸可购买市售质量分数为68%的浓盐酸,或将氯化氢气体和超纯水按质量占比分别为68%和32%将氯化氢气体加入超纯水中,完全溶解后即可得到所需浓盐酸。
本申请中,正极片电阻可以在常温下采用BER1300膜片电阻仪进行测试,测试步骤可以如下:(1)将极片制备成直径为22mm圆片;(2)将制备好的圆片放入BER1300仪器的测试平台上;(3)机器测试压力调整为0.4吨,测试时间调整为10s,开始测试即可,所得到的电阻数值即为膜片电阻。

作为一个具体示例,第二正极活性材料可以包括满足以下两个条件至少之一的正极活性材料:(i)y=1,n=0,第二正极活性材料为Li1+xA′P1-zEzO4,A′为Fe元素,或A′包括Fe元素和选自Zn、Al、Na、K、Mg、Mo、W、Ti、V、Zr、Fe、Ga、Sn、Sb、Nb、Ge中的一种或多种元素;(ii)0.001≤y≤0.500,n=0,第二正极活性材料为Li1+xMn1-yA′yP1- zEzO4。可选地,第二正极活性材料可以仅包括化学式为Li1+xA′P1-zEzO4和/或化学式为Li1+xMn1-yA′yP1-zEzO4的正极活性材料,该两个化学式中,x和z的取值各自独立,但都满足化学式Li1+xM3nMn1-yA′yP1-zEzO4中对x和z的化学计量数限定的数值范围。
在本申请的一些实施方式中,第二正极活性材料具有放电平台,至少一个放电平台的放电电压不低于第一正极活性材料的放电截止电压,且不高于3.5V。正极活性材料Li1+xM3nMn1-yA′yP1-zEzO4的具体化学计量数不同,其放电平台的也可能会发生变化,例如当第二正极活性材料为磷酸铁锂时只有一个不大于3.5V的电压平台;再例如当第二正极活性材料为具有锰位掺杂的磷酸锰锂时,如磷酸锰铁锂,会存在2个放电平台,本申请利用的是放电快结束时的电压平台。本申请中通过进一步使第二正极活性材料具有不高于3.5V的电压平台,可以进一步保证第一正极活性材料和第二正极活性材料掺混后在放电快结束时,可以利用该平台缓解先前放电过程中的极化,拓宽高低SOC处倍率耐受边界,从而提升快充能力,并兼顾循环性能,改善实际可用容量。

在本申请的一些实施方式中,正极活性物质层的涂覆质量可以为15.50mg/cm2~20.78mg/cm2,例如可以为16.0mg/cm2、16.50mg/cm2、17.0mg/cm2、17.50mg/cm2、18.0mg/cm2、18.50mg/cm2、19.0mg/cm2、19.50mg/cm2、20.0mg/cm2、20.5mg/cm2等,或可以为以上任何数值所组成的范围;可选地,正极活性物质层的涂覆质量为16.80mg/cm2 ~18.83mg/cm2。其中,正极活性物质层在涂覆质量过低的情况下,一方面不利于电池能量密度的提升,另一方面极片极化会有较为明显的改善,此时在第一正极活性材料LiaNibCocM1dM2eOfR′g中掺混第二正极活性材料Li1+xM3nMn1-yA′yP1-zEzO4的改善作用不明显,而当正极活性物质层的涂覆质量过高时,又会导致极片极化增加的程度超过掺混Li1+xM3nMn1-yA′yP1-zEzO4的改善作用,影响倍率性能和快充性能。本申请中通过使正极活性物质层的涂覆质量控制在所给范围内,可以进一步改善电池的快充性能,同时能兼顾能量密度和循环性能。
