摘要: 制备锂离子电池正极材料LiNi0.8Co0.2O2通常需要在纯氧气气氛下进行烧结.本工作以硫酸镍,硫酸钴和氢氧化钠为原料,采用并流共沉淀法制备了高密度Ni0.8Co0.2(OH)2前驱体,再采用高温固相反应法在空气中烧结制备了锂离子电池LiNi0.8Co0.2O2正极材料.采用X射线衍射(XRD),扫描电镜(SEM),恒流充放电测试(ECT),循环伏安(CV)与比表面积(BET)测试等方法对目标样品进行了表征,详细考察了烧结条件对材料结构,微观形貌及电化学性能的影响.结果表明,锂/(钴+镍)摩尔比为1.13∶1时,在管式炉中和空气气氛下于第一段烧结温度700 ℃保温9 h,于第二段烧结温度750 ℃保温12 h,合成的材料比表面积适中(0.78 m2/g),具有规则的六边形α-NaFeO2层状结构,晶粒分布均匀,电化学性能最优.在0.5 C充放电倍率下和2.7~4.3 V电压范围内,其首次放电比容量达到153.0 mA·h/g,循环20次后放电比容量仍为150.7 mA·h/g,容量保持率达到98.5%,显示了优异的循环稳定性能,可用做高能量密度动力电池正极材料.

Abstract: The work reported in this paper is on LiNi0.8Co0.2O2 cathode material for lithium-ion batteries applications. A high-density precursor, Ni0.8Co0.2(OH)2, was prepared first by concurrent co-precipitation using nickel sulfate, cobalt sulfate and sodium hydroxide as raw materials. The cathode material was made by high temperature solid state reaction in an air environment. The s as-synthesized samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and constant current electrochemical test (ECT), and the impact of sintering time on the structure, surface morphology and electrochemical properties was investigated. The LiNi0.8Co0.2O2 sample made with n(Li)∶n(Ni+Co)=1.13∶1 and sintered in the air at 700 ℃ for 9 h and then 750 ℃ for 12 h shows optimal electrochemical performance, giving an initial discharge capacity of 153.0 mA·h/g, a capacity of 150.7 mA·h/g at 20th discharge and a capacity retention so high as 98.5% at the rate of 0.5 C from 2.7 V to 4.3 V. These results demonstrate excellent cyclic stability of the material and good potential for use as the cathode material of high power density power batteries.
