Abstract

The invention discloses an in-situ carbon coating method for lithium iron phosphate. The method comprises the steps: dissolving an organic carbon source in a solvent A to form an organic carbon source solution, then adding lithium iron phosphate particles into the above organic carbon source solution, stirring uniformly to form a carbon source material suspending liquid; dumping the above carbon source material suspending liquid into a solvent B in which the above carbon source material has extremely low solubility, to make the carbon source material uniformly precipitate on the surface of the lithium iron phosphate particles, filtering and drying to obtain carbon source material coated lithium iron phosphate particles; placing the carbon source material coated lithium iron phosphate particles in nitrogen or inert gas for protection, keeping temperature at 350 DEG C -850 DEG C for 1-10 h to fully carbonize the carbon source material and further to obtain the carbon uniformly-coated lithium iron phosphate material. The method of the invention helps the carbon source to insitu precipitate on the surface of the lithium iron phosphate particles, and the carbon coating is uniform; the carbon coating technology needs no complex and expensive ball mill mixing devices; and the method has a simple technological process and is beneficial to commercialization.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cathode materials for lithium ion secondary batteries, in particular to a method for uniform carbon coating of lithium iron phosphate particles. Background technique [0002] In the context of the global energy and environmental crisis, lithium-ion secondary batteries for electric vehicles are becoming a hot and urgent topic. LiFePO 4 As a new type of lithium-ion battery cathode material, it has the advantages of stable voltage, good cycle performance, good safety, environmental friendliness, and low cost, and has broad application prospects in the field of power batteries. However, due to the inherent limitations of its structure, LiFePO 4 The poor electrical conductivity severely limits its electrochemical performance and affects its commercial application. Therefore, how to improve LiFePO 4 The electrical conductivity has become a research hotspot. Armand et al. found that the LiFePO 4 The surfac...
