Method for producing carbon coated nano stage lithium iron phosphate by precipitation

Abstract

The invention discloses a precipitation method for preparing nanometer level iron phosphate lithium coated with carbon. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, weighing iron salt, deionized water and a compound of metallic elements; after the stirring and the mixing are performed, adding a phosphorous compound and citric acid diluted with water to the mixture; after the stirring is performed again, adding a precipitation agent to the mixture and controlling to the neutrality; stirring to react in a container, and after the static placement, respectively adding the deionized water, a carbon source and lithium salt to mix uniformly after the precipitate is filtered and washed; stirring again to react, and drying the water at 30 to 160 DEG C and warming up at the heating rate under the protection of non-oxidized gas after a product is crashed; baking at a constant temperature of 450 to 850 DEG C, cooling down to a room temperature at a cooling rate or with a stove, and finallyobtaining the nanometer level ferric phosphate lithium coated with the carbon after crashing is performed. The precipitation method has the advantage that the raw material cost and the processing cost are low because bivalent iron is taken as the raw material. The iron phosphate lithium prepared by using the process has the characteristics of good physical processing performance and good electrochemistry performance, and is suitable for industrialized production.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for preparing battery materials, more particularly to a method for preparing liquid-phase precipitation of carbon-coated metal element-doped nano-scale lithium iron phosphate. Background technique [0002] LiFePO was first reported since 1997 4 Since it has the function of de-intercalating lithium, the olivine-type phosphate-based lithium-intercalating material LiMPO has 4 (M: Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) has attracted much attention as a potential cathode material for lithium-ion batteries. Among them, LiFePO with a theoretical capacity of 170mAh / g 4 , with its rich iron resources, low price, excellent thermal stability and environmental friendliness, is considered to be the most promising cathode material for lithium-ion batteries. [0003] At present, the methods for synthesizing lithium iron phosphate include high-temperature solid-phase reaction method, liquid-phase co-deposition method, sol-gel method, hydrothermal...
