Problems solved by technology

The coating of oxides (such as MgO, S.J.Shi, J.P.Tu, Y.Y.Tang, et al., Electrochimica Acta, 2013, 88, 671-679.) can reduce the contact between the electrode and the electrolyte, thereby effectively reducing the corrosion of the electrode by the electrolyte. But at the same time, it will also reduce the conductivity of the electrode material, and carbon coating can improve the conductivity and rate performance of the material, but it will significantly reduce the tap density of the material, increasing the subsequent processing procedures and production costs.
At the same time, the commonly used carbon coating method cannot control the uniform carbon coating and will lead to the reduction of the positive electrode material.
As we all know, reducing the size of the material can also effectively improve the electrochemical performance of the material, but reducing the size of the material will increase the contact between the electrolyte and the electrode material, reducing the cycle performance of the material

Abstract

The invention discloses a surface coating method of a cathode material for a lithium-ion battery. The method comprises the following steps: adding the cathode material for the lithium-ion battery to a magnesium salt solution, simultaneously adding a certain amount of lithium compound, carrying out ultrasound for 30-180 minutes, stirring the solution at 50-80 DEG C until dry, and putting the sample into a drying oven at 80 DEG C for drying; slowly heating the dried sample to 110-130 DEG C in a tube furnace, maintaining the temperature for 1-2 hours, heating the sample to 500-600 DEG C at the speed of 2 DEG C / min, maintaining the temperature for 2 hours, and introducing an oxidizing atmosphere to the tube furnace in the overall process; and burning the sample in the tube furnace. According to the cathode material for the lithium-ion battery, oxide coating is combined with carbon coating; and the amount of the oxide can be reduced, so that reduction of the conductivity caused by the oxide coating is well improved; meanwhile, reduction of the tap density caused by traditional carbon coating can also be improved; and the rate capability and the cycle performance of the material are improved. The carbon coating is carried out on the cathode material for the lithium-ion battery by a catalysis method; the coated carbon is uniform and controlled in thickness; and meanwhile, reduction of the cathode material caused by coated carbon can be reduced.
