The invention relates to a method for preparing a thin-layer carbon-coated positive
electrode material by adopting a liquid-phase organic
carbon source, which comprises the following steps of: introducing a liquid-phase
organic matter serving as a
carbon source into a positive
electrode active
material system such as
lithium iron phosphate, forming an adsorption or interface modification structure on the surface of a positive
electrode material particle by the
carbon source, performing
solid-liquid separation, and performing in-situ
carbonization under a protective
atmosphere to obtain the thin-layer carbon-coated positive
electrode material. And constructing a continuous thin-layer
carbon coating structure on the surfaces of the positive
electrode material particles to obtain the thin-layer
carbon coated positive
electrode material. The method is simplified in process, convenient to operate, low in cost and suitable for large-scale preparation; the obtained material is good in
carbon layer continuity and high in interface stability, and is beneficial to improvement of
electronic conductivity and reduction of electrode polarization, so that the rate capability and the cycle stability are improved, meanwhile, the particle
surface structure stability can be improved,
transition metal dissolution is inhibited in the cycle process, and the long-term cycle stability of an electrode is improved. The method is suitable for various
lithium ion battery positive electrode material systems, and is especially suitable for
lithium ion batteries with relatively high requirements on rate capability and cycle life.
