[0058] Preparation Example 1: Preparation of cathode active material precursor (Ni:Co:Mn=6:2:2)

[0059] NiSO 4 ·6H 2 O. CoSO 4 ·7H 2 O and MnSO 4 ·H 2 O was mixed in a molar ratio of 6:2:2, and 2 Purified distilled water to prepare a 2M metal salt solution. The metal salt solution was poured into a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) at a flow rate of 250 mL / hr.

[0060] A 25% ammonia solution was poured into the reactor through the ammonia solution inlet at a flow rate of 40 mL / hr. Further, 40% NaOH aqueous solution was automatically poured into the reactor through the NaOH solution inlet at a flow rate of 105-120 mL / hr, and at the same time, the pH was maintained at 11.3 by using a pH measuring instrument and a regulator. The temperature of the reactor was set at 40° C., the holding time (RT) was controlled at 10 hr, and the mixed solution was stirred at 800 rpm.

[0061] The resulting reaction mixture was filtered, purified with distilled water, and dried to ob...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a fluorine-containing phosphate cathode active material for a lithium secondary battery and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] As technology for mobile devices becomes more and more advanced and demand for mobile devices increases, demand for secondary batteries as energy sources is rapidly growing. Among such secondary batteries, lithium secondary batteries are generally widely used due to their high energy density, high operating voltage, long service life and low self-discharge rate. [0003] A typical lithium secondary battery contains LiPF 6 Salt acts as an electrolyte. However, the LiPF 6 Salt easily interacts with the humidity in the atmosphere, namely H 2 O reacts to form HF molecules, which in turn react with the cathode surface to release oxygen and elute transition metals, resulting in a significantly shortened battery life. For this reason, the surface of the cathode is coated with a st...
