Problems solved by technology

Although these methods can also produce spherical lithium iron phosphate, the particle size is relatively large, they are all solid spheres, the diffusion path of lithium ions is long, and the electrolyte cannot infiltrate the interior of the particles, resulting in unsatisfactory high-rate performance of the battery material. The process is complex and the steps are cumbersome, requiring intermediate steps such as centrifugation, washing, and ball milling
In the invention patent with the application number of 200710058352.2 "a hydrothermal synthesis method of lithium iron phosphate cathode material for lithium ion batteries", a hydrothermal method for preparing lithium iron phosphate is disclosed. The method is to combine lithium source, iron source, The phosphorus source is made by mixing hydrothermally with a molar ratio of 3:1:1, and the product is an agglomerate composed of flake particles. This method has a large excess of lithium source, which causes a lot of waste, and must use expensive and unstable ferrous ions Fe 2+ For iron source, increased production cost
