The invention discloses a method for rapid synthesis of a multi-element layered positive material of a
lithium-
ion battery. The method comprises the following steps of: adopting
lithium acetate as a
lithium source, adopts
nitrate or / and acetate of Ni, Co, Mn, Fe and Cr with the
melting point of being lower than 200 DEG C as a
transition metal source, weighing materials accurately according to the chemical metering ratio of target products, and putting the materials into a
corundum crucible (the target products are multi-element positive materials LiMO2 with layered structures, and M is two or more in Ni, Co, Mn, Fe and Cr); heating the materials in an electric furnace or water bath, enabling the materials to be melted to form uniform liquid, then moving the liquid into the constant-temperature electric furnace with the temperature of being 400-600 DEG C, and enabling the liquid to generate
combustion reaction; carrying out collection,
grinding and 100-mesh sieving on
combustion reaction products, pressing into round pieces, putting into a
microwave oven, insulating for 5-200 minutes at the temperature of 600-1000 DEG C, and then cooling along with the furnace; and finally, taking out the round pieces, and carrying out
grinding and 300-mesh sieving to obtain a target product. The method disclosed by the invention has the advantages that water is not needed, the energy and the time are saved, the process is simple, the operation is easy, and the synthesized multi-element layered positive material has good electrochemical property.
