    摘要: A method for preparing a MOF-coated monocrystal ternary positive electrode material and a precursor thereof. Firstly, a solution A of nickel, cobalt, and manganese metal salts is prepared according to a molar ratio, and an ammonia complexing agent solution and a caustic soda liquid are prepared. Then the solution A, the ammonia complexing agent solution, and the caustic soda liquid are added to a reactor and reacted to obtain a precursor core. Afterwards, an organic carboxylate is dissolved in an organic solvent to obtain a solution B. The B solution and a manganese metal salt solution are added to the above reactor and reacted, and a MOF-coated core-shell structure precursor is obtained after aging. The core-shell structure precursor is pre-sintered at a low temperature to obtain a nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide with a monocrystal structure. The nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide with the monocrystal structure is uniformly mixed with lithium hydroxide monohydrate in a mortar and the mixture is calcined at a high temperature to obtain a MOF-coated monocrystal ternary positive electrode material. The problems of poor cyclic and thermal stability caused by high nickel content are thus overcome, and the obtained positive electrode material has electrochemical properties of high rate, high capacity, and high cycle performance.

    摘要: Disclosed in the present disclosure are a positive electrode material precursor and a positive electrode material and preparation methods therefor, and a sodium-ion battery. The positive electrode material precursor comprises an inner core and a shell wrapping the periphery of the inner core, wherein the inner core is Ni x Fe y Mn 1-x-y (OH) 2 , where 0.2 ≤ x ≤ 0.7, and 0.2 ≤ y ≤0.5; the shell is M a Mn 1-a (OH) 2 , where M is nickel or iron, and 0.05 ≤ a ≤ 0.7; and both the inner core and the shell are formed by stacking flaky primary particles. In the positive electrode material precursor provided in the present application, by controlling the components of the inner core and the shell and using a loose structure thereof formed by stacking flaky primary particles in combination, a heterostructure positive electrode material with an O3-phase inner core and a P2-phase shell can be obtained; and due to the synergistic effect of the two-phase structure, the heterostructure positive electrode material has both high capacity and high cycle stability, such that the electrochemical performance of a sodium-ion battery can be further improved. In addition, the preparation method for a positive electrode material provided in the present application is simple, has a relatively low cost, and is suitable for industrial large-scale production.

    摘要: Provided are a battery-level Ni-Co-Mn mixed solution and a preparation method for a battery-level Mn solution, the steps thereof comprising: acid dissolution (S1), alkalization to remove impurities (S2), synchronous precipitation of calcium, magnesium, and lithium (S3), deep ageing to remove impurities (S4), synergistic extraction (S5), and refining extraction (S6). The steps of deep ageing to remove impurities (S4) and synergistic extraction (S5) comprise: performing deep ageing on a filtrate obtained from the step of synchronous precipitation of calcium, magnesium, and lithium (S3), and after performing filtration to remove impurities, obtaining an aged filtrate; using P204 to extract the aged filtrate and obtain a loaded organic phase, and subjecting the loaded organic phase to staged back-extraction to obtain the battery-level Ni-Co-Mn mixed solution and a Mn-containing solution. By means of the cooperation between the multiple process steps of synchronous precipitation of calcium, magnesium, and lithium (S3), deep ageing to remove impurities (S4), and synergistic extraction (S5), the impurity content of the obtained battery-level Ni-Co-Mn mixed solution is significantly lowered, and the battery-level Ni-Co-Mn mixed solution can be directly used to prepare a lithium battery ternary precursor material. At the same time, the battery-level Mn solution can also be obtained, which is favorable for large-scale applications of the process and increasing economic benefits.
