The invention provides a core-shell structure
cobalt carbonate material and a preparation method and application thereof, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: introducing a first
cobalt salt solution, an
ammonium bicarbonate solution and a doped
metal salt solution into a base solution, and carrying out a first
coprecipitation reaction; intermittently feeding a second
cobalt salt solution, an
ammonium bicarbonate solution and a doped
metal salt solution, and carrying out a second
coprecipitation reaction to obtain the cobalt
carbonate material with the core-shell structure, the concentration of the second
cobalt salt solution is smaller than that of the first
cobalt salt solution, and the flow of the second
cobalt salt solution is smaller than that of the first cobalt salt solution. According to the method, the high-concentration cobalt salt solution is firstly adopted for large-flow feeding, then low-concentration small-flow feeding and intermittent feeding, a doped cobalt
carbonate shell which grows uniformly and compactly can be obtained on the surface of an inner core, agglomeration and segregation of doped elements can be inhibited,
side reaction of particles and
electrolyte can also be prevented, and the service life of the
electrolyte is prolonged. Cracks generated by material strain in the charging and discharging process are reduced, and the
cycling stability and other performance of the material are improved.
