The invention relates to the technical field of batteries, in particular to a surface-modified positive
electrode material and a
surface modification method thereof. The positive
electrode material
surface modification method provided by the invention comprises the following steps: S1, mixing a
cobalt source with an
organic solvent to obtain an intermediate, and depositing the intermediate on a
graphite sheet by adopting a
chemical deposition method to obtain a
coating material; and S2, mixing the positive
electrode material with the
coating material obtained in the step S1, and calcining to obtain the surface-modified positive
electrode material. According to the invention, the
cobalt source is deposited on the
graphite flake through a
chemical deposition method to form the
graphite flake of which the surface is uniformly coated with
cobalt hydroxide, so that not only can the stability of the
coating material structure be improved, but also the electrochemical activity of
cobalt hydroxide in the coating material can be further improved; the graphite flake with
cobalt hydroxide deposited on the surface is used as a coating material to be sintered with the positive
electrode material, so that the obtained surface-modified positive
electrode material is good in
structural stability and high in specific capacity, and the cycle
retention rate of the battery can be improved.
