AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] There are still some problems in the application of NCA materials in batteries: (1) Due to the cation mixing effect and the phase change of the material surface microstructure, the irreversible capacity loss and cycle performance of NCA are caused; (3) The diffusion coefficient of lithium ions is low, which makes the rate performance of the material not very ideal

[0005] At present, the research on the doping modification of NCA materials is basically the ion substitution of the transition metal layer. Although the electrochemical performance of the material can be improved to a certain extent, the ion substitution of the transition metal layer cannot promote the migration rate of lithium ions.

For example, the invention with the application number 201410445867.8 discloses nickel-cobalt lithium aluminate positive electrode material and its preparation method, but the disclosed positive electrode material is the ion substitution of the transition metal layer, which can stabilize the lattice structure, but cannot promote the migration rate of lithium ions

The coating materials used for surface coating of NCA materials are oxides / phosphates, etc. The coating layer hinders the corrosion of the material by the electrolyte and inhibits the side reaction between the material and the electrolyte, but at the same time because of its electrochemical inertness , will also hinder the conduction of electrons and lithium ions

For example, the invention with the application number 201410004698.4 is respectively modified by coating with alumina. Since these substances are electrochemically inert substances, they will hinder the capacity of the active material.
