The invention relates to a
doping modified
lithium-rich layered positive
electrode material and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a new novel
lithium-rich layered positive
electrode through
doping modification on a material by anions of F<->, Cl<-> and Br<-> according to a certain proportion, and belongs to the technical field of a
lithium ion battery. The synthesis method comprises the following steps of firstly, weighing a lithium salt, a
metal nitrate and a non-
metal salt according to mole ratios, dissolving the lithium salt, the
metal nitrate and the non-metal salt in deionized water, adding
citric acid, and adjusting a pH value to be 7-8 with
ammonia; secondly, heating, stirring and reacting the obtained mixture to obtain wet gel,
drying the wet gel to obtain dry gel, and pre-
sintering the dry gel to obtain a precursor; and finally, carrying out high-temperature
roasting and
grinding to obtain the lithium-rich positive
electrode Li[Li<0.2>Ni<0.15>Mn<0.55>Co<0.1>]O<2-x>M<x> (M is F, Cl or Br) (0<=x<0.1), namely the modified layered lithium-rich positive
electrode material. The positive
electrode material prepared according to the method is small and uniform in particle, smooth in surface and high
crystallization property, and thus, the positive
electrode material has relatively high
discharge specific
capacitance and favorable rate performance; and by co-
doping, the cycle performance and the initial coulombic efficiency of the positive electrode material can be improved, the irreversible
capacitance loss is reduced, and thus, the positive electrode material has great industrial significance.
