Abstract

The invention relates to a surface modification method of a lithium iron phosphate cathode material. The surface modification method comprises conductive polymer cladding by plasma polymerization, surface fluorination, nitridation, vulcanization and so on. The method particularly comprises the steps of uniformly blending lithium iron phosphate powder with conductive polymer monomers, and placing the mixture into a discharge plasma reactor to clad the surface of lithium iron phosphate powder with the conductive polymer; or placing the lithium iron phosphate powder in the discharge plasma reactor, introducing working gas CF4, NH3, CS2 or H2S to generate F, N, S free groups by ionization, and subjecting lithium iron phosphate powder to surface fluorination, nitridation, vulcanization. The method provided by the invention has important meanings for improving the comprehensive performance of lithium iron phosphate cathode material, and particularly has significant effect in improving large-current charge-discharge capacity and low-temperature performance of the material. The modified material can be charged or discharged at 10C to 30C, and the discharge capacity at -20 DEG C is not less than 75% the normal temperature discharge capacity, so that the lithium iron phosphate cathode material is suitable for power cells.
