The invention discloses a preparation method of a spherical high-capacity
lithium-rich positive
electrode material. A
sintering process is improved through regulating a
coprecipitation reaction mode. The preparation method comprises the following steps: 1, preparing a
nickel-
cobalt-
manganese sulfate solution; 2, performing a
coprecipitation reaction on the
nickel-
cobalt-
manganese sulfate solution and a
mixed solution of a carbon
carbonate solution and
ammonia water at a pH value of 7-9 to obtain a
solid-liquid mixture of a precursor; 3, filtering, separating, washing and
drying to obtain a
carbonate precursor; 4, performing gradient temperature rise on the
carbonate precursor in a tubular furnace and keeping the temperature, cooling, crushing and sieving to obtain a
nickel-
cobalt-
manganese oxide; and 5, mixing the nickel-cobalt-
manganese oxide with
lithium carbonate
powder, and performing multi-section ventilation
roasting in the tubular furnace to obtain the target object. The preparation method has the advantages that the
sintering process is improved through regulating the
coprecipitation reaction mode, the
granularity of the precursor is effectively controlled, and the high-capacity
lithium-rich lithium
ion positive
electrode material with a layered
crystal structure, which is high in
energy density, good in rate capability, low in cost, good in safety and long in service life, is prepared, and the market demand is met.
