Problems solved by technology

Although ternary materials reduce material cost and toxicity, and obviously improve the safety of materials, the actual specific capacity of these layered structure materials has not made a big breakthrough, generally less than 200mAh / g

Although the co-precipitation method has the advantages of uniform multicomponent components and controllable particle size distribution, in order to remove impurity ions such as Na in the reaction system + and SO 4 2- etc., the co-precipitated substance needs to be washed repeatedly, which causes the loss of the material, which leads to the inability to accurately control the stoichiometry of the material, and at the same time produces a large amount of waste water during the production process, which limits the large-scale production and popularization of the material.
