中文摘要

随着新能源汽车的日渐普及导致动力电池的需求量和报废量呈现爆发式增长，对废旧电池正极材料进行修复再生利用具有重要的环保和经济意义。通过传统浸出方式回收正极材料中有价金属能够实现正极材料的资源化利用，但存在流程复杂、经济效益低、污染严重等问题；而仅通过补锂的方式修复得到的再生正极材料存在循环稳定性差的缺陷。本研究通过固相烧结法补充废旧LiFePO₄中损失的锂离子，并加入葡萄糖促进 Fe³⁺还原的同时在LiFePO₄表面形成碳包覆层。此外，在补锂过程中加入Mg²⁺实现修复再生和掺杂改性同步进行。结果表明，再生过程中同步掺入Mg²⁺可以明显提高晶体结构稳定性以及锂离子扩散系数。再生LiFePO₄正极材料表现出优异的电化学性能。在1 C倍率下，Mg-RLFP的首次放电容量为131.8 mAh⋅g⁻¹，200圈和400圈容量保持率分别达到98.8%和92.2%；在0.1 C和10 C的倍率下，Mg-RLFP的放电容量分别为142.9·mAh⋅g⁻¹和95.5 mAh⋅g⁻¹。研究结果表明，补锂过程中采用碳包覆与镁离子掺杂同步改性的策略能够有效地修复废旧LiFePO₄正极材料。

Abstract

Abstract

With the number of decommissioned electric vehicles increasing annually, a large amount of discarded power battery cathode material is in urgent need of treatment. However, common leaching methods for recovering metal salts are economically inefficient and polluting. Meanwhile, the recycled material obtained by lithium remediation alone has limited performance in cycling stability. Herein, a short method of solid-phase reduction is developed to recover spent LiFePO₄ by simultaneously introducing Mg²⁺ ions for hetero-atom doping. Issues of particle agglomeration, carbon layer breakage, lithium loss, and Fe³⁺ defects in spent LiFePO₄ are also addressed. Results show that Mg²⁺ addition during regeneration can remarkably enhance the crystal structure stability and improve the Li⁺ diffusion coefficient. The regenerated LiFePO₄ exhibits significantly improved electrochemical performance with a specific discharge capacity of 143.2 mAh·g⁻¹ at 0.2 C, and its capacity retention is extremely increased from 37.9% to 98.5% over 200 cycles at 1 C. Especially, its discharge capacity can reach 95.5 mAh·g⁻¹ at 10 C, which is higher than that of spent LiFePO₄ (55.9 mAh·g⁻¹). All these results show that the proposed regeneration strategy of simultaneous carbon coating and Mg²⁺ doping is suitable for the efficient treatment of spent LiFePO₄.
