Abstract

The invention discloses a synthesis method for a lithium iron phosphate / carbon composite material. The synthesis method is characterized by comprising the following steps of: (1) uniformly mixing lithium phosphate, iron powder, iron phosphate, another lithium source and a carbonous conductive agent precursor, wherein the another lithium source is one or the combination of any of the following components: lithium carbonate, lithium oxalate, lithium acetate, lithium hydroxide and lithium nitrate, and the carbonous conductive agent precursor is one or the combination of any of the following components: glucose, sucrose, citric acid, starch, polyvinyl alcohol, stearic acid and lauric acid; (2) putting the raw material mixture obtained in the step (1) into a ball-milling container and performing full ball milling; and (3) putting the mixture subjected to the ball milling into nitrogen gas and baking the mixture at 600-800 DEG C to prepare the lithium iron phosphate / carbon composite material. The synthesis method is simple in process, and the synthesized lithium iron phosphate / carbon composite material is high in specific capacity and excellent in high-current and cycle performance.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to a synthesis method of lithium iron phosphate / carbon composite material, which can be used as positive electrode material of lithium ion battery. Background technique: [0002] Since A.K.Padhi et al. reported in 1997 that lithium iron phosphate with an olivine structure can be used as a cathode material for lithium-ion batteries, due to its excellent electrochemical performance, abundant raw material sources, and good safety performance, it can be used in high-temperature environments. Use and other characteristics are favored by the majority of scientific research institutions and commercial companies. [0003] At present, the preparation methods of lithium iron phosphate mainly include high-temperature solid-phase method, microwave synthesis method, sol-gel method, liquid phase deposition method, etc. The high-temperature solid-phase method has a simple process and is suitable for large-scale production, but the reactants ar...
