Embodiment 1

[0037] Example 1: Nanorod-shaped LiFePO was prepared by changing the order of precursor addition by using water as the reaction medium by the hydrothermal method 4 . In this embodiment, the iron salt is ferrous sulfate heptahydrate, the antioxidant is ascorbic acid, and the lithium salt is lithium hydroxide monohydrate.

[0038] Many problems faced by traditional methods are further solved only by changing the order of addition to prepare precursors. The method is: select 6.69g of lithium salt and dissolve it in 60mL of water. After the dissolution is complete, 4 mL of phosphoric acid (85wt.%) is added to it, and Li 3 PO 4 Suspension, where Li 3 PO 4 It is white precipitated nano-agglomerated particles. After the reaction was completed, 0.225 g of ascorbic acid and 14.6 g of iron salt were added thereto to finally form a blue slurry. The blue slurry was quickly transferred to a sealed reaction kettle, and hydrothermally reacted at 180° C. for 3 hours. Then separated to...

Embodiment 2

[0040] Example 2: Rod-shaped LiFePO prepared by changing the order of precursor addition and adding a certain amount of ethylene glycol 4 . The iron salt adopts ferrous sulfate heptahydrate, the antioxidant adopts ascorbic acid, and the lithium salt adopts lithium hydroxide monohydrate.

[0041] The method is: select 6.69g of lithium salt and dissolve it in 30mL of water so that the concentration of the lithium salt solution is 0.223gmL -1 . After the dissolution is complete, 4 mL of phosphoric acid (85wt.%) is added to it, and Li 3 PO 4 Suspension, where Li 3 PO 4 It is white precipitated nano-agglomerated particles. After the reaction was completed, 0.225 g of ascorbic acid and 14.6 g of iron salt were added thereto to finally form a blue slurry. Subsequently, a certain amount of ethylene glycol solution 60mL was added thereto, and after being uniformly mixed, it was quickly transferred to a sealed reaction kettle, and hydrothermally reacted at 180° C. for 3 hours. T...

Embodiment 3

[0043] Embodiment 3: the difference from embodiment 2 is that the synthesis temperature and reaction time used in the experiment are different. The prepared rod-shaped LiFePO 4 , with a diameter of 50-80nm and an aspect ratio of 1-8. In this embodiment, the iron salt is ferrous sulfate heptahydrate, the antioxidant is ascorbic acid, and the lithium salt is lithium hydroxide monohydrate.

[0044] The volume ratio of ethylene glycol: water in the ethylene glycol solution is 1:1. The hydrothermal conditions are: temperature 150° C., time 10 hours.

[0045] The obtained product is LiFePO 4 Simplex. The first discharge specific capacity at 0.1C charge and discharge rate reached 160mAh g -1 , and good cycle performance.

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of lithium ion batteries, in particular to a method for greatly improving the excellent electrochemical performance of positive electrode materials LiFePO4 of low-temperature hydrothermal synthesized lithium ion batteries. The method solves the problems that the hydrothermal synthesized LiFePO4 with excellent electrochemical performance needs high temperature conditions and expensive surfactants, and the yield in unit volume is too low. According to the method, lithium salts, ferric salts and phosphoric acid are prepared into paste precursors in water according to a certain addition sequence and a certain mixture ratio, then, a certain number of organic solvents are added, and next, the nanometer LiFePO4 positive electrode materials with excellent electrochemical performance are prepared under the hydrothermal conditions. The LiFePO4 positive electrode materials with the excellent electrochemical performance can be prepared at lower temperature, so the pressure-proof performance requirement on a hydrothermal reaction kettle is greatly reduced. The method has the advantages that through changing the addition sequences of raw materials, the precursors are changed from the sticky state into the slurry state and are not sticky, so more raw materials can be fed into the reaction kettle, and the yield of LiFePO4 powder in the unit volume is greatly improved.
