Problems solved by technology

Coating a thin coating layer on the surface of the electrode material can not only reduce the first irreversible loss of the lithium-rich material, but also improve the rate capacity of the material. At present, Al, Al 2 o 3 , Al(OH) 3 , AlPO 4 , RuO 2 , MnO 2 、TiO 2 such as single-layer surface modification and double-layer Al 2 o 3 -RuO 2 、Al 2 o 3 -AlPO 4 Surface modification has successfully improved the electrochemical performance of lithium-rich materials, but since these materials are electrochemically inert, it may reduce the discharge capacity of the material

Embodiment 1

[0021] 1. According to the molecular formula Li[Ni 0.2 Li 0.2 mn 0.6 ]O 2 The ratio of Li, Ni, Mn to prepare LiAc, Ni(Ac) 2 and Mn(Ac) 2 Mixed solution, the total metal (Li+Ni+Mn) ion concentration is 1mol / L;

[0022] 2. Configure the citric acid solution according to the ratio of citric acid: total metal ions = 1:1 (molar ratio). Under stirring conditions, add the mixed solution of metal salts to the citric acid solution dropwise, stir and evaporate in a water bath at 80°C, and finally A yellow-green gel was obtained, and after drying in a vacuum oven at 150°C for 12 hours, a dry and slightly fluffy bulk precursor was obtained; since the aforementioned citric acid solution was prepared by adding deionized water, in the subsequent evaporation process The deionized water is completely removed, so the deionized water has no other effects except for dissolving citric acid, so the added deionized water can completely dissolve the citric acid or a little more. The amount of de...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for modifying the surface of a positive electrode material of a lithium ion battery, in particular to a method for modifying a lithium-rich positive electrode material. 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. Inexpensive and abundant iron-based and manganese-based cathode materials become the most promising candidates, LiFePO 4 and LiMn 2 o 4 As a cathode material, it has been widely used, but due to the limitation of the theoretical capacity of these two materials, the energy density is low. Layered lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material xLi 2 MnO 3 ·(1-x)LiMO 2 (M=Co,Ni 1 / 2 mn 1 / 2 …) have attracted extensive attention due to their high voltage and ...
