Problems solved by technology

For powder materials synthesized by high-temperature solid phase, the particles are coarse and the particle size distribution range is wide, which often leads to a large drop in capacity after the first charge and discharge of the material.
The hydrothermal method is suitable for the synthesis of high-purity lithium iron phosphate powder, but it is not conducive to the modification of the material, and the reversible capacity of the material synthesized by the hydrothermal method has not exceeded 80% of the theoretical capacity so far
On the other hand, the problem of low conductivity of lithium iron phosphate needs to be solved
Although coating activated carbon on the surface of the material can achieve a breakthrough in the electrical conductivity of the material, it is at the expense of volumetric energy density and mass energy density.

Abstract

The invention discloses an electrode material of a lithium-ion battery and a preparation method thereof. The electrode material is lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) with the surface coated with nano-copper and is prepared by using the following method: water solution of ferrous phosphate and lithium phosphate is evenly mixed according to a chemical formula, and is added with a stabilizer OP-10 water solution for mixing and stirring, the mixed solution is controlled at a certain temperature for precipitation, and then the precipitate is filtered, rinsed and aired. Heat treatment is carried out for an aired precursor obtained from the previous step at high temperature, therefore a lithium iron phosphate semi-finished product is obtained. The problem of the imperfect particle size of the lithium iron phosphate is solved by controlling the process conditions. Copper nitrate solution is mixed with the lithium iron phosphate semi-finished product and is added with vitamin C for reducing to obtain the copper; metal copper is evenly clad on the surface of the lithium iron phosphate particles. The preparation method has simple operational procedure; the lithium-ion battery anode material of the prepared lithium-ion battery electrode material has high ionic conductivity and electron conductivity, the 1C initial specific capacity is not less than 162mAh/g and the lC tap density is not less than 1.5g/cm<3>.
