The invention belongs to the field of
lithium batteries, and provides a preparation method of a high-capacity iron-based
lithium ion battery
cathode material, that is, alpha-LiFeO2 to overcome the defects of the complicated synthesis method of the existing alpha-LiFeO2
cathode material, low electrochemical performance, complicated structure, unpurified product and the like. The method for synthesizing at the
room temperature is adopted, alpha-LiFeO2 is prepared by strictly controlling the
molar ratio of Li<+> / Fe<3+>, various reactants are dissolved into absolute ethyl
alcohol and are directly synthesized into alpha-LiFeO2 at the
room temperature through magnetic stirring,
metal lithium is introduced in the reaction process to serve as a reduction protective agent, an alpha-LiFeO2 product rich in lithium is obtained, the product is centrifuged, separated, washed, dried, grinded, refined and dried to obtain the
lithium ion battery cathode material alpha-LiFeO2; the material has no
impurity, is high in purity, single in phase and even in
particle size distribution, the first
specific discharge capacities respectively reach 450 mAh / g, 260 mAh / g and 202 mAh / g at the charge-
discharge rates of 0.1 C, 0.2 C and 0.5 C; and in addition, the manufacturing cost is low, the synthesis method is simple, and the preparation method is suitable for large-scale industrial production.
