The invention discloses an aluminum-doped
cobalt precursor and a preparation method and application thereof.The preparation method comprises the steps that a
mixed solution of
cobalt salt and aluminum salt and a precipitant solution are stirred and mixed, then stirring is stopped, and a
reaction system is obtained; and heating the
reaction system to enable the product to grow, and collecting to obtain the aluminum-doped
cobalt precursor. On the basis of not introducing additional surfactant and complexing agent structure adjusting auxiliaries, only the
mixed solution of the aluminum salt and the
cobalt salt is mixed with the precipitant solution, and the type and morphology of the product can be effectively regulated and controlled by adjusting the ratio of the
mixed solution of the aluminum salt and the
cobalt salt to the precipitant solution. According to the method, stirring is stopped when a
reaction system is obtained after the mixed solution of the aluminum salt and the
cobalt salt and the precipitant solution are stirred and mixed, and standing and heating growth are performed, so that the problems of poor
crystal consistency and the like caused by unstable
continuous feeding of a
metering pump are solved; the reaction process is few, the requirements on personnel and equipment are lower, the stable production of products is facilitated, and meanwhile, the manpower and
electric power cost is reduced.
