The invention discloses a preparation method of
lithium cobalt oxide. The preparation method of the
lithium cobalt oxide solves the problems that an existing preparation method of the
lithium cobalt oxide is high in temperature, the
lithium cobalt oxide obtained through the existing preparation method is uneven in particle, the agglomeration phenomenon exists, the high temperature process causes uneven content of cobalt and lithium in materials and leads to the lithium element to be separated out. The preparation method of the
lithium cobalt oxide includes the following steps of weighting out a certain amount of lithium salt, measuring water-
solubility organics based on the
molar weight of the lithium salt according to the ratio that the total
molar weight of the water-
solubility organics is 50%-70% of the
molar weight of the lithium salt, mixing the water-
solubility organics and the lithium salt, adding water to mixture, conducting ball-milling, obtaining pre-reaction
slurry, adding materials with cobalt and water to the pre-reaction
slurry wherein the molar ratio of the lithium to the cobalt is 0.95-1.2: 1, conducting the ball-milling, obtaining reaction
slurry,
drying the reaction slurry, calcining the slurry, and obtaining the
lithium cobalt oxide. The preparation method of the lithium
cobalt oxide has the advantages that the lithium
cobalt oxide obtained through the preparation method is good in evenness, small in
crystal particle, even in particle size, and less in agglomeration. In addition, the preparation method of the lithium
cobalt oxide has the advantages of being simple in technology process, appropriate for large
batch production, low in
calcination temperature and the like.
