The preparation method significantly improves the conductivity of the lithium titanate product, and the material shows the excellent rate performance and excellent cycle performance, and is suitable to be used in a power cell.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of a battery electrode material, in particular to a preparation method of a lithium titanate-coated carbon composite material for an yttrium-containing lithium ion battery negative electrode material. Background technique [0002] Due to its high energy density, small self-discharge, and no memory effect, lithium-ion batteries have a dominant position in the secondary battery market and are widely used in mobile communications, notebook computers, mobile phones, video cameras, cameras, portable instruments and other fields. It has rapidly developed into one of the most important secondary batteries at present. With the increasing miniaturization and miniaturization of electronic products, the research and application of lithium-ion batteries have been paid more and more attention. At present, most commercial lithium-ion batteries use carbon materials such as graphite as the negative electrode and LiCoO 2 ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Although compared with metal lithium, carbon materials have greatly improved in terms of safety performance and cycle performance, but there are still shortcomings that are difficult to overcome: they react with the electrolyte to form a surface passivation film, resulting in electrolyte consumption and the first time. The coulombic efficiency is low; the electrode potential of the carbon electrode is similar to that of metal lithium. When the battery is overcharged, metal lithium may still be precipitated on the surface of the carbon electrode, form
