Problems solved by technology

This design can maintain a stable temperature within a certain range, but it cannot meet the requirements of another important factor for sintering - the atmosphere
When gas is used as a reaction raw material to synthesize various lithium ion positive and negative electrode materials, it is often only possible to "fly around" on the surface of the material, and cannot fully contact the particles of the material, which makes the difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the current conventional lithium ion positive and negative electrode materials after sintering , The material quality and stability are poor; for example: the nitrogen atmosphere in the sintering process of lithium iron phosphate material affects the content of ferric iron impurities in the product, and the oxygen atmosphere in the sintering synthesis of nickel cobalt lithium manganese oxide material determines the valence state stability of the finished material and many more
In addition, during the sintering process, powder materials are mostly loaded in crucibles, porcelain boats and other vessels. Regardless of the size of such vessels, there are usually walls of a certain height, which hinders the contact area between the atmosphere and the powder materials and reduces the The protective effect or reactivity of the atmosphere is reduced; it seriously restricts the stability of material quality and the improvement of output, so it is particularly important to explore a process technology that can realize the synthesis of lithium-ion positive and negative electrode materials with the atmosphere "soaked" contact sintering
