Hydrothermal synthesis method for preparing iron phosphate lithium as anode material of lithium ion battery

The invention relates to a hydrothermal synthesis method for preparing iron phosphate lithium as an anode material of lithium ion battery, which belongs to the technical field of new energy materials. The hydrothermal synthesis method comprises the following steps of: mixing an iron source with phosphate, adding a lithium source, and after uniform agitation, putting the mixture into a high-pressure reaction kettle; then, adding a reducing agent, and maintaining the temperature at 180-200 DEG C for 8-12 h to produce spherical iron phosphate lithium, wherein the mol ratio of the lithium source to the iron source to the phosphate is 3:1:1. The invention provides a simple and one-step method for directly preparing iron phosphate lithium. The technological parameters of the method used for preparation are easily controlled; compared with a process using ferric iron as a raw material, the resource of ferrous iron as the raw material is wider; the prepared iron phosphate lithium powder particles have small mean particle diameter which is about 3-5 mu m, the particles are evenly distributed, the tap density can reach 2.0-2.5 g/cm<3>, the battery performance is high, and the specific capacity for the first charge and discharge cycle is 140-160 mAh/g.
