The invention discloses a
lithium manganate composite material and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method has the following advantages: 1) a natural
lithium-bearing brine resource is comprehensively utilized as a
lithium source, the usage amount of a refined lithium salt is reduced, and the
material synthesis cost is substantially reduced; 2) the lithium source and a
manganate source are uniformly distributed on an atomic level by an
ion exchange method, a lattice matrix is easy to rearrange through short-range
diffusion, the
energy consumption is low during the synthesis process, a relatively low synthesis temperature and relatively short synthesis time are obtained, the
grain distribution is uniform, and the polarization is reduced; 3) the constituent contents of lithium and
magnesium are reasonably controlled by adjusting a pH value, lithium
magnesium-doped type lithium
manganate is prepared, the average valence state of manganate during the charge-
discharge process is improved, a Jahn-Teller effect is effectively inhibited, and the cycle stability is improved; and 4) from the aspect of economic and
environmental protection, the preparation method has more advantages than other schemes, and particularly, the preparation method has practical significance to extract lithium from a liquid-state lithium-bearing brine resource with a
high magnesium-lithium ratio to synthesize a composite battery material.
