Problems solved by technology

The single crystal lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material prepared by this method can indeed improve the electrochemical performance of the material. However, an oxygen-enriched (higher oxygen concentration than air) atmosphere is required during the preparation process, and the calcination temperature is as high as 950-1200°C. The production cost is high, and the precursor needs to be pulverized and ball milled before calcination. The process is more complicated, and more importantly, the hardness of the carbonate precursor is low, and it is easy to be excessively pulverized to form fine slag during pulverization and ball milling. This kind of fine slag is not only small and irregular, but it is difficult to remove in actual production, and it will also leave a great safety hazard for the use of positive electrode materials.
Also, see figure 1 The SEM image of the single crystal lithium-rich manganese-based multi-component material prepared for this prior art, it is not difficult to see that the degree of single crystallization of the material prepared by this method is not high, and the electron microscope topography image obviously contains many fine particles <1 μm. These fine particles will also have many side reactions with the electrolyte, and there is a cohesive structure in the upper left corner of the figure (referred to as a single crystal in the industry), and the particle size is very uneven. Problems will affect and lead to the attenuation of battery performance
