This invention provides a high-pressure compacted
sodium iron pyrophosphate cathode material, its preparation method, and its application. The preparation method of the high-pressure compacted
sodium iron pyrophosphate cathode material includes: weighing
sodium, iron, and
phosphorus sources according to the stoichiometric ratio of sodium
iron pyrophosphate, adding
carbon source and
solvent, and mixing and
grinding to obtain a precursor
slurry;
spray drying the precursor
slurry to obtain precursor
powder; compacting and granulating the precursor
powder under a pressure of 10 MPa to 80 MPa to obtain denser precursor particles; and finally
sintering at 500℃ to 650℃ for 6 to 15 hours under an
inert atmosphere. This invention effectively eliminates internal cavities and interparticle gaps in the precursor through compaction and
granulation, and controls the pressure within the range of 10 MPa to 80 MPa. The subsequent
sintering process improves the density of the
cathode material while controlling the
impurity phase content to below 1 wt% and maintaining good electrochemical performance.
