The invention discloses a preparation method of amorphous
iron oxide microspheres for a
lithium battery, and relates to the technical field of battery materials, the preparation method comprises the following steps: using
ferrous sulfate,
liquid ammonia and
liquid oxygen as raw materials to produce an
iron oxide product which has high purity and
high activity and is suitable for manufacturing a
lithium iron phosphate battery, and simultaneously co-producing high-quality
ammonium sulfate; the method comprises the following steps: (1) purifying
ferrous sulfate, namely preparing
ferrous sulfate heptahydrate and water into a solution, heating and stirring, adding
ammonium sulfide and
ammonia water to adjust the pH value of the solution, filtering, removing heavy
metal ions, cooling and crystallizing to obtain ferrous sulfate crystals, and dissolving the crystals with pure water to obtain a pure ferrous sulfate solution; (2) preparing a
seed crystal; (3) carrying out oxidation
crystal growth and composite dephosphorization; and (4) filtering, washing,
drying and crushing. According to the technical scheme, the problems that the
iron oxide produced by the existing method for producing the iron
oxide for the
lithium battery has many impurities, the product percent of pass is uncontrollable, and the production efficiency is low are solved.
