Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of negative electrode materials for lithium ion batteries, in particular to a preparation method of a zirconium nitride-coated lithium titanate composite material. Background technique

[0002] In recent years, due to rising oil prices and serious global warming, low-carbon life has attracted more and more attention. Hybrid electric vehicles and pure electric vehicles have begun to enter people's lives; lithium-ion batteries are such power tools best candidate. However, for this type of power vehicle, the key issue of lithium-ion batteries is safety performance. Since the existing lithium-ion batteries usually use carbon materials as negative electrodes, their lithium intercalation potential is very close to that of metal lithium. It is easy to grow dendrite lithium on the surface of the negative electrode, which brings safety hazards. Moreover, the carbon negative electrode is easy to form an SEI film during the fi...
