The invention relates to a preparation method of a high compaction density
lithium ion cathode material. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) uniformly mixing a
boron compound with a precursor material to obtain a pretreated precursor material; (2) sufficiently mixing the pretreated precursor material with a
lithium salt to obtain a mixture; and (3) carrying out
solid phase
sintering on the mixture in an oxidizing
atmosphere, cooling and crushing to obtain the high compaction density
lithium ion cathode material. According to the preparation method, the precursor material is pretreated, the
boron compound is firstly uniformly attached to the precursor, and then the pretreated precursor material is mixed with the lithium salt for
sintering, so that doped element
boron is uniformly distributed in a product phase so as to achieve the purpose of uniform
doping. According to the high compaction density lithium
ion cathode material prepared by the invention, the tap density is greater than or equal to 2.3 g / cm<3>, the manufacturing compaction density is greater than or equal to 3.70 g / cm<3>, the primary
discharge gram capacity can reach more than 153 mAh / g, and the circulating capacity
retention rate in 300 circles reaches more than 85%.
