Abstract

The invention provides a method for improving the electrochemical performance of lithium iron phosphate by applying copper / graphene. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, preparing 200mLof mixed water solution containing 0.01g of graphene oxide and 0.08g of copper sulfate; then, adding 2g of carbon-coated lithium iron phosphate powder into the mixed water solution and stirring for 2min under the condition that the stirring speed is 180r / min; washing reacted lithium iron phosphate powder with water to remove free metal ions which do not react completely, and filtering; then putting into a vacuum drying box with the pressure of -0.08MPa and carrying out vacuum drying to obtain lithium iron phosphate with a copper ion / graphene composite layer. The method has the advantages of simple operation process and technology; an organic solvent, a surfactant, a reducing agent and an oxidant do not need to be added in a generation process of the composite layer, so that the productioncost is low. Meanwhile, compared with simple mechanical mixing, atom-grade chemical reduction substitution reaction attachment has higher binding degree and uniformity, so that the rate discharge performance and cycling stability of lithium iron phosphate can be remarkably improved.
