摘要
The overall objective of this project was to develop an advanced manufacturing technology for Li-ion battery materials production at low cost and in a green chemical process using glycerol as solvent to replace water. It was aimed at developing a prototype pilot production line to reduce production cost by at least 25% to the baseline. During the course of this project, research was conducted to understand spray drying and combustion of eutectic solvent precursors of glycerol and metal salts (acetates) in the formation of mixed metal oxide powders. Reactor design and optimization were done to facilitate spray drying and combustion in powder formation and processing. Various cathode materials powders were produced, including lithium nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide (NCM) and lithium nickel-cobalt-aluminum oxide (NCA). These cathode materials powders were tested in half coin cells for their performances, with materials performances of 160 mAh/g for NCM111 and 200 mAh/g for NCA. NCA powders were also produced using a slurry spray-drying process and tested in full pouch cells. A pilot scale flame assisted spray drying reactor was constructed and demonstrated for its production rate exceeding the target of production rate of four metric tons per year. The work performed in this project has been documented in 9 peer reviewed journal publications, 8 conference presentations, and two IP disclosures/patent applications.
