Among them, the positive electrode material is currently a major factor limiting the battery performance.

The lithium ion battery realizes large-scale application and simultaneously meets a series of requirements of low cost, safety, no natural resource limitation, high energy density and the like. Currently, the anode materials of lithium ion batteries mainly include lithium cobaltate, lithium nickelate, lithium manganate with a spinel structure, lithium nickelate, lithium nickel cobalt manganate and lithium iron phosphate. However, LiCoO₂High cost, and Co³⁺Toxic, the material is structurally unstable when overcharged; LiNiO₂The synthesis conditions are harsh, part of lithium sites are occupied by nickel sites, the degree of order is low, and the reversibility is poor; LiMnO₂Poor thermal stability at high temperatures; spinel-structured LiMn₂O₄During cycling, phase transition occurs and leads to capacity loss, and LiNi is a binary material_1-xCo_xO₂(0<x<1) And the ternary material LiNi_1-xCo_xMn_yO₂(0<x<1，0<y<1) In other words, although the advantages of several materials are combined, the capacity of the material is difficult to reach 200mAh/g, and the requirement of high specific energy of the electric automobile cannot be met.

In recent years, a disordered lithium-rich rock salt structure (DRX) cathode material has received much attention from researchers due to its high specific capacity and energy density.

CN109305700A discloses a preparation method of a positive electrode material containing a niobium/tantalum cation disordered rock salt structure, which adopts a stable water-soluble citric acid Nb/Ta precursor to synthesize the positive electrode material containing the Nb/Ta cation disordered rock salt structure oxide by a wet chemical method. The initial discharge capacity of the obtained material is up to 250mAh/g, the rate capability and the cycle performance are excellent, and the capacity retention rate after 0.5C cycle for 100 times is more than 85%.

CN110372039A discloses a method for preparing a positive electrode material with a cation disordered rock salt structure by a high-valence transition metal ion replacement combination strategy, which is to mix lithium salt with an oxide of a high-valence transition metal element M (at least one of Ti, V2, Nb, Mo and Zr), an oxide of M' (at least one of Fe, Ni and Mn) and villiaumite by a solid-phase ball milling method, and then carry out high-temperature treatment, thereby obtaining the positive electrode material.

The capacity of the obtained material is higher than 257mAh/g at 0.05C multiplying power (1C ═ 200mA/g) for the first time, and then the capacity retention rate is higher than 48 percent after the charge-discharge test is carried out at 0.1C multiplying power after the cycle for 50 weeks.

A metal lithium sheet is used as a counter electrode, a polypropylene microporous membrane Celgard 2400 is used as a diaphragm, and 1mol/L LiPF6/EC + DEC + DMC (volume ratio of 1: 1) is used as electrolyte to prepare the CR2025 type button cell.

TABLE 1

It can be seen from the above examples and comparative examples that the lithium-containing molybdenum oxide coated disordered rock salt structure cathode material provided by the invention uses the lithium-containing molybdenum oxide compound with lithium releasing and inserting capability as the coating layer, thereby not only providing a physical barrier layer between the cathode and the electrolyte, inhibiting side reactions, but also improving charge transfer kinetics, and enabling the composite cathode material to have better electrochemical performance; the carbon and the lithium-containing molybdenum oxide compound are used as the coating layers, the high electronic conductivity of the carbon and the ionic conductivity of the lithium-containing molybdenum oxide compound are combined, and the coating layers have the advantages of high mechanical property, good thermal stability and the like, can keep stable structure after charge/discharge cycles, and improve the cycle stability of the material. The composite anode material obtained by the invention has the advantages of high reversible specific capacity and good cycling stability. The comparative example did not adopt the scheme of the present invention, and thus the effects of the present invention could not be obtained.

As can be seen from the comparison between example 1 and comparative examples 1-2, the inclusion of carbon alone or the inclusion of a lithium-containing molybdenum oxide compound alone in the coating layer of the positive electrode material did not produce a good improvement effect on the electrochemical performance of the positive electrode material, and the expected results were obtained only when both carbon and the lithium-containing molybdenum oxide compound were included.

As can be seen from the comparison between example 1 and comparative example 3, when the method provided by the present invention is used to prepare the cathode material, a freeze-drying method is required to be used as an optimal drying method, so that the uniform coating of the material can be sufficiently maintained, the particle agglomeration can be reduced, and the effect of the present invention cannot be obtained by using a common drying method.

As can be seen from comparison of example 1 with examples 9 to 10, there is a preferable range of the mass ratio of carbon to the lithium-containing molybdenum oxide compound in the coating layer of the positive electrode material. Under the optimal conditions, the carbon with low volume density can realize better coating effect, so that the coating layer gives consideration to both ionic conductivity and electronic conductivity, thereby obtaining excellent comprehensive performance.

As can be seen from the comparison between example 1 and examples 11-14, the mass contents of carbon and the lithium-containing molybdenum oxide compound in the composite cathode material affect the electrochemical properties of the material. When the content of the carbon or lithium molybdenum oxide compound is too high, the coating content is too high, the transmission of lithium ions between interfaces is hindered, and the integral specific capacity of the material is reduced; when the content of the carbon or lithium molybdenum oxide compound is too low, the coating content is too low, an effective coating layer cannot be formed, and the problem of capacity fading of the material in the circulation process is solved.

It can be seen from a comparison of example 1 with example 15 that the choice of carbon source affects the electrochemical properties of the material. The dopamine hydrochloride selected by the invention can be polymerized in situ on the surface, which is beneficial to uniformly dispersing polydopamine and lithium-containing molybdenum compounds in a precursor layer formed by the anode material, and can obtain better coating effect, and the effect of the invention can not be obtained by adopting other carbon sources.

As can be seen from comparison between example 1 and example 16, the lithium source and the molybdenum source are adsorbed on the surface of the positive electrode material in advance by in-situ polymerization, and then dopamine hydrochloride is polymerized in situ on the surface of the positive electrode material, which is beneficial to uniformly dispersing polydopamine and the lithium-molybdenum-containing compound in the precursor layer formed by the positive electrode material, and can obtain a better coating effect.

It can be seen from the comparison between example 1 and example 17 that the mixing uniformity can be improved by using the mixed solvent of ethanol and water, so as to facilitate the uniform dispersion of the polydopamine and the lithium-molybdenum-containing compound, and obtain coating layers which are uniformly dispersed with each other. The effect of the present invention cannot be obtained by using water alone as a solvent.

The applicant states that the present invention is illustrated in detail by the above examples, but the present invention is not limited to the above detailed methods, i.e. it is not meant that the present invention must rely on the above detailed methods for its implementation. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that any modification of the present invention, equivalent substitutions of the raw materials of the product of the present invention, addition of auxiliary components, selection of specific modes, etc., are within the scope and disclosure of the present invention.
