Provided in the present disclosure are a positive
electrode material precursor, a preparation method therefor, and the use thereof. The preparation method comprises: mixing a
glycine buffer solution containing
ethylene glycol with a
metal source, and reacting same to obtain the positive
electrode material precursor. The present disclosure uses the
glycine buffer solution as a reaction substrate solution, and adds the
metal source to same for reaction, thereby keeping the pH of the
system stable, and improving the uniformity and purity of the
metal element. In addition, by means of a synergistic effect between
glycine and
ethylene glycol, interfacial energy of different
crystal planes of the precursor particles can be effectively regulated, thereby regulating the growth and arrangement
modes of the precursor particles to enable precipitated particles to preferentially grow in the orientation of (003)
crystal planes, so as to obtain elongated strip-shaped primary particles, which can provide a rapid
diffusion channel for
lithium ions, reduces the
diffusion resistance of Li+ and improves the orderliness of the
crystal structure, thereby improving the rate capability and the
cycling stability of the positive
electrode material.
