The invention discloses a carbon-coated
lithium supplementing material as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The carbon-coated
lithium supplementing material comprises a
lithium-containing compound, an inorganic
nonmetal reducing agent and a carbon-containing
coating layer partially or completely
coating the surface of the lithium-containing compound or / and the inorganic
nonmetal reducing agent. According to the carbon-coated lithium supplementing material provided by the invention, agglomeration and growth of the lithium supplementing agent in the synthesis process can be inhibited through
carbon coating, the air stability and
conductivity of the lithium supplementing agent are improved, the lithium supplementing agent is catalyzed to be decomposed at a relatively low potential to release lithium ions, the lithium supplementing capacity is increased, and the effect of improving the
energy density of the battery is achieved; and the carbon-coated lithium supplementing material is simple in preparation process and is beneficial to wide popularization and application. When the carbon-coated lithium supplementing material provided by the invention is added into thepositive
electrode of a lithium secondary battery, the irreversible lithium loss of the first charge-
discharge negative
electrode can be compensated, and the
energy density of the battery is improved.The activity of the lithium supplementing material can be improved through surface
carbon coating, the air stability is improved, and large-scale application of the lithium supplementing agent in a lithium
ion energy storage device is realized.
