Problems solved by technology

It mainly has the following deficiencies: 1. Since the lithium, iron, and phosphorus of lithium iron phosphate come from three kinds of materials, uneven mixing often occurs, and the prepared product contains too many impurities, and the ratio of the three elements does not meet The chemical dosage ratio affects the electrochemical performance of the product; 2. The general process time needs at least 20 hours, and a large amount of amine waste gas must be decomposed
3. The particles of the prepared lithium iron phosphate material are not uniform, the particle size distribution range is wide, and the crystal shape is irregular; 4. The material particles synthesized at high temperature are relatively coarse, and it is difficult to control the batch stability of the product; 5. During the sintering process, it is necessary to Extensive use of inert gas to prevent oxidation of ferrous ions
[0005] In addition, compared with mature materials such as lithium cobaltate, lithium manganate and ternary materials, the synthesized pure lithium iron phosphate has very low conductivity and ion diffusion rate, and generally can only be charged and discharged at a small current density. This limits the scope of application of lithium iron phosphate in practice
