Problems solved by technology

In recent years, scholars at home and abroad have coated the surface of lithium-rich cathode materials with inert oxides (Al 2 o 3 、TiO 2 , RuO 2 etc.) to improve its electrochemical performance, but they can only obtain higher capacity when they are discharged at a high rate after low-rate charging. Modified (AlPO 4 +Al 2 o 3 、Al 2 o 3 +RuO 2 ), charging at a low rate (C / 20), the discharge capacity is about 200mAh / g at 2C, and only 150mAh / g at 5C, which cannot meet the requirements of fast charging for electric equipment

Abstract

The invention relates to a modification method of a high-rate lithium-rich cathode material, belonging to the technical field of cathode materials of lithium ion cells. The modification method comprises the steps of: ultrasonically dispersing Li[NixLi1 / 3-2x / 3Mn2 / 3-x / 3]O2 in NH4H2PO4 solution with concentration not more than 0.710g / L for 1h, stirring for 2h, dripping NH4VO3 solution with concentration not more than 0.722g / L at a molar ratio of NH4H2PO4 to NH4VO3 being 1:1, stirring for 1h, evaporating to be dry in 80 DEG C water bath, and drying at 80 DEG C; and burning dried Li[NixLi1 / 3-2x / 3Mn2 / 3-x / 3]O2 at 300-500 DEG C for 4-15h. According to the invention, not only is the first irreversible capacity loss of the lithium-rich cathode material reduced, but also the rate performance of the lithium-rich cathode material is greatly improved, thus the requirements of high-power lithium ion cells are satisfied.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a surface modification method for high-rate lithium-rich cathode materials, and belongs to the technical field of cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Background technique [0002] In recent years, under the environment of soaring gasoline prices and global advocacy of new energy, energy saving and emission reduction, and low-carbon economy, lithium-ion batteries with high energy density and high power density have become the focus of attention. While the commercialized LiCoO 2 , LiMn 2 o 4 、LiFePO 4 Due to the relatively low capacity, it cannot meet the high requirements of 3G electronic products and electric vehicles for lithium-ion battery cathode materials, so lithium-rich cathode materials with higher voltage and higher specific capacity have become a research hotspot. [0003] Lithium-rich cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries are mainly layered materials Li 2 MnO 3 with LiMO 2 (M=Ni, Co, Ni 0.5 mn ...
