Title: Method for regenerating lithium battery positive electrode material
Inventor: HAIJUN YU
IPC: C22B7/00
Filed: 2022-05-12
Abstract: Disclosed in the present invention is a method for regenerating positive electrode material of a lithium battery, by means of performing alkali leaching lithium removal and two-stage supplemental lithium sintering on a positive plate, finally obtaining a single-crystal ternary positive electrode material. First, residual aluminum on a positive plate is dissolved by means of a sodium hydroxide solution. During the process of dissolving aluminum, the lithium in the positive electrode material enters solution, so that the positive electrode material vacates the ion potential. The positive plate is washed to avoid sodium ion contamination. After drying, the positive plate is heated and reacts with metallic lithium and lithium sulfide, causing the crystal lattice thereof to change. During a second-stage lithium supplementation, on the basis of the temperature rise of a first-stage lithium supplement, the positive plate is directly sintered with a lithium source in an oxygen atmosphere. The sintering means and temperature are controlled to obtain agglomerates of single-crystal ternary cathode material. After crushing, the single-crystal ternary cathode material is washed to remove lithium remaining on the surface. After drying, a single-crystal ternary positive electrode material is obtained, and the properties thereof are close to those of an initially synthesized single-crystal positive electrode material.
