Problems solved by technology

According to the invention patent CN103274480A, it is mentioned that the use of ammonium sulfate as a complexing agent is used to prepare the precursor Ni of the multi-component cathode material x co 1-x-y-z mn y W z (OH) 2 (0x co y mn z (OH) 2 , but the primary particle morphology of the precursor has not been elaborated and explained. The cycle performance of the positive electrode material depends largely on the internal structure of the material. The more stable the internal structure of the material and the orderly growth of internal particles, the greater the cycle performance of the material. The higher the higher, the structural stability of the positive electrode material depends on the primary particle morphology, primary particle size and internal growth state of the precursor; the invention patents CN105731553A and CN105355907A all mentioned the influence of the primary particle of the precursor on the performance of the finished product, but explained The morphology of the obtained primary particles is limited; and the filamentous morphology is not elaborated; CN105731553A mentions the preparation method of the precursor of the crystal family shape of the primary particles, but the morphology of the precursor, the primary particles are too large, The sphericity of the small particles prepared by this process is poor, and after sintering the finished product, it is not conducive to the subsequent coating treatment. CN105355907A proposes an annual ring structure precursor, but only for lithium-rich materials, and does not explain the high-nickel precursor; CN105118981A Mentioned in the preparation of high nickel type Ni x co y mn z (OH) 2 (0.5≤x≤0.9) precursor, in order to avoid the generation of internal loose fine particles, the gap production process is adopted; although the sphericity of this type of precursor is good, the production efficiency of the gap method is low, and it cannot be applied on a large scale. Moreover, no solutions are proposed for the nucleation of high-nickel precursors prepared in the continuous process

[0004] It can be seen from the above that many existing patents have mentioned the preparation method of the nickel cobalt lithium manganese oxide precursor, and the primary particle morphology of the precursor is involved, but for the morphology of the high nickel precursor, the spherical shape of the particle temperature etc. have not been fully elaborated, and in the preparation method, the influence of reaction temperature on the properties of the precursor is mainly concerned, but the research on other key process parameters in the process is not enough. Generally speaking, the nickel cobalt lithium manganese oxide precursor The product performance of the body still needs to be optimized, and the process efficiency and nucleation effect of its preparation method need to be improved
