The invention belongs to the technical field of
surface modification of positive
electrode materials of
lithium ion batteries, and relates to an
oxygen capture and
thermal stability compound
coating for a positive
electrode material and application thereof, the
oxygen capture and
thermal stability compound
coating comprises positive
electrode active material particles and a compound functional
coating covering the surfaces of the positive electrode active material particles, and
rare earth elements comprise at least one of Sc, Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb and Lu; the
transition metal element comprises at least one of Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo, W, Mn, Fe, Co and Ni; the thickness of the composite functional coating ranges from 1 nm to 200 nm. The double functions of
oxygen capture and thermal barrier are achieved through the composite functional coating;
lattice oxygen release of the positive
electrode material in a high-
voltage and high-temperature environment can be remarkably inhibited, the
side reaction of an
electrolyte or
solid electrolyte interface is reduced, the cycle life is prolonged, and the safety performance is improved.
