The invention discloses a preparation method of aluminum-doped small-particle-size
cobalt carbonate, belongs to the technical field of
lithium ion batteries, and solves the problems that the
aluminum element in the existing aluminum-doped small-particle-size
cobalt carbonate is easy to recrystallize and separate out, and the particle morphology is difficult to control. The preparation method comprises the following steps: preparing a
cobalt-aluminum
mixed solution, adding an NH4HCO3 solution into a reaction kettle to serve as a base solution, starting the reaction kettle for heating, adding the cobalt-aluminum solution and the NH4HCO3 solution for
precipitation reaction until the particle size D50 of aluminum-doped cobalt
carbonate reaches 3.7-3.8 mu m, ending the first reaction and the second reaction until the particle size of the material in the reaction kettle grows to 4.0-4.5 mu m, ending the second reaction, and cooling to
room temperature to obtain the cobalt-aluminum
composite material. And carrying out a third reaction until the particle size of the aluminum-doped cobalt carbonate grows to 4.0-5.0 [mu] m, washing, and
drying to obtain the aluminum-doped small-particle-size cobalt carbonate. The method is convenient to operate and stable in reaction, cooperative control over
distribution uniformity and
structural integrity of the
aluminum element in the aluminum-doped small-particle-size cobalt carbonate particles is ensured,
hydrolysis and recrystallization are avoided, and no aluminum segregation substance exists on the surfaces of the aluminum-doped small-particle-size cobalt carbonate particles.
