Problems solved by technology

However, as a high-nickel-based NCA ternary cathode material, it still has the following problems: 1. The repeated volume change of the cathode material during charge and discharge can easily lead to the generation of microcracks in the active particles and increase the polarization; 2. The surface of the material Easily react with moisture and carbon dioxide in the air to form LiOH and Li 2 CO 3 and other by-products, which lead to the enhancement of the surface alkalinity of the material and the change of the surface crystal structure; 3. Ni in the charged state 4+ Oxidize the electrolyte to produce a thicker SEI film and release oxygen; 4. HF in the electrolyte attacks the surface of the material to dissolve metal ions
Although this coating method can obtain better electrochemical performance under laboratory conditions, the increase in process flow and harsh preparation conditions will lead to increased production costs, and the complicated operation process is not conducive to large-scale production in industry.
