The invention provides a preparation method of a positive
electrode material
lithium iron phosphate for a high-compaction
lithium ion battery. The preparation method comprises the following steps thatS1, a
lithium source, a composite
iron source composed of
ferric pyrophosphate and
metal iron powder, a
phosphorus source and a
carbon source are prepared according to a certain proportion and put into a dispersion kettle, a
solvent is added for dispersion, coarse
grinding and fine
grinding to obtain uniformly-mixed
slurry, and the
slurry is subjected to mist spraying and
drying to obtain spherical precursor
powder; S2, the obtained precursor
powder is tableted, granulated and densified to obtain a granular precursor; S3, the obtained granular precursor is sintered at a high temperature underthe protection of
inert gas, and then naturally cooled to the
room temperature and pulverized to obtain a high-compaction
lithium iron phosphate product. According to the preparation method, the composite
iron source is adopted, the density of the
metal iron powder is high, and in cooperation of nanoscale
ferric pyrophosphate, synthesized
lithium iron phosphate has excellent electrochemical performance and higher tap density; the precursor
powder obtained by mist spraying and
drying is tableted, granulated and densified, and therefore the
sintering production efficiency and the density of thelithium
iron phosphate material are improved.
