The invention belongs to technical field of nano material, relate to the preparation method of the compound of a kind of nano lithium titanate that is used for battery or electrochemical vessel negative material, itself and titanium dioxide.
Background technology
Present commercial lithium ion battery negative material adopts various embedding lithium material with carbon elements mostly, there are some shortcomings in material with carbon element as lithium ion battery negative material: the one, and the current potential of material with carbon element and the current potential of lithium metal are very approaching, when over-charging of battery, lithium metal may be separated out and forms Li dendrite in carbon electrodes, thereby causes short circuit; The 2nd, first charge-discharge efficiency is low; The 3rd, have an effect with electrolyte; The 4th, there is tangible voltage delay phenomenon; The 5th, material with carbon element preparation method more complicated; The 6th, though the alloy type negative material generally has higher specific capacity, the embedding repeatedly of lithium is taken off and is caused the change in volume of alloy type negative pole in charge and discharge process bigger, and efflorescence was lost efficacy gradually, thereby cycle performance is relatively poor.Along with the rise of environmental-protecting type electric automotive research, electrochemical vessel has become another research focus behind lithium ion battery as a kind of energy storage device with high power density.It and secondary cell combination are used, can satisfy preferably that electric automobile starts, quickens, during climbing to high-power requirement, and reclaim the transient energy that electric automobile when brake produces rapidly, make secondary cell maintain work under the more stable current status all the time, prolong its cycle life.
Lithium titanate is that a kind of lithium inserts the zero strain material, and as lithium ion battery negative material not recurring structure change in charge and discharge process, good cycle has good charge and discharge platform; Do not react with electrolyte; Low price, preparation is compared with commercial carbon negative pole material easily, has better chemical property and fail safe usually.Can also be used to replace a utmost point of active carbon double electric layer capacitor, bring into play the advantage of its relative height ratio capacity; The big order of magnitude of its chemical diffusion coefficient ratio carbon electrode material becomes desirable hybrid electrochemical capacitor negative material simultaneously.
The synthetic method of lithium titanate adopts high-temperature solid phase reaction method and sol-gel process mostly at present.The high temperature solid-state synthesis technique of lithium titanate is similar to other composite oxide of metal, usually with TiO2And LiOH (or LiCO3) be raw material, by high temperature (800-1000 ℃), for a long time heat treatment forms product, and the shortcoming of this method is the energy consumption height, and product mostly is micron or submicron particles greatly, and big particle size is unfavorable for the quick embedding of lithium ion and deviates from.
Advantages such as sol-gel process is because to have a synthesis temperature low, and particle size is little, and homogeneity is good, and specific area is big and being widely adopted gradually.But sol-gel process need use expensive organic alkoxide as presoma, and complex process, therefore is difficult to realize that large-scale industrial production satisfies the wilderness demand of energy field.
