Problems solved by technology

[0006] Although the above three methods can improve the electrochemical performance of lithium iron phosphate to a certain extent, there are certain defects.
For example, the carbon coating method is an effective method in improving the conductivity of lithium iron phosphate powder, but because of the introduction of organic light carbon elements, the relatively small density of lithium iron phosphate powder itself is vibrated and compacted. The density is smaller and the apparent specific surface area is relatively large (mainly affected by light carbon elements), which brings difficulties to the subsequent battery processing procedures. In addition, in large-scale commercial production, the implementation of the carbon coating method is very difficult. The main The difficulty lies in ensuring the uniformity of the coating and the control of the thickness of the coating at the nanometer level. The evaluation test results of a large number of lithium iron phosphate materials show that the carbon coating performance largely determines the stability of material batches
[0007] In addition, the electrical conductivity of the material is improved by doping with metal elements. At present, the mechanism of this method to improve electrical conductivity is not yet clear, and there is a risk that impurities will be mixed in if the doping fails to affect the performance of the battery.

[0062] 1. Preparation of negative electrode sheet: mix the negative electrode active material (such as graphite), conductive agent (such as carbon black SP), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF, as a binder) uniformly, and add it to the solvent N, N dimethyl ratio And then mix and stir evenly to obtain a fluid negative electrode slurry. The negative electrode slurry is evenly coated on the negative electrode current collector (such as copper foil) and then dried to make the negative electrode slurry completely in A negative electrode active material layer (ie, negative electrode slurry coating) is formed on the surface of the negative electrode current collector, thereby preparing a negative electrode sheet. In addition, in the present invention, the metal lithium sheet can be used as the negative electrode active material directly as the negative electrode.

Embodiment 1

[0087] First, mix the aqueous solution of lithium hydroxide and phosphoric acid in a molar ratio of 3:1, and stir to form a white lithium phosphate suspension, and then mix ferrous sulfate with a molar ratio of 1:0.002 and the organic acid additive citric acid. The resulting mixed solution was added dropwise to the suspension, stirred and adjusted the pH value to about 4.8, then the suspension was transferred to the reactor, and reacted at 230°C for 8-12 hours. After the reaction, Obtain a light green precipitate, and then wash it with water or ethanol several times, then go through ball milling for 4-8 hours, then dry it under a vacuum of 80°C, and then calcinate at a temperature of 650°C under a protective atmosphere to sinter Obtain nano-lithium iron phosphate, and finally mix the obtained nano-lithium iron phosphate and high-conductivity carbon nanotubes (CNT) together to obtain a lithium metal phosphate compound Li x M y PO 4 A composite material formed by mixing with carbo...
