Method for modifying phosphate-coated lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for modifying a phosphate-coated lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material and belongs to the field of lithium ion battery cathode materials. The method comprisescoating steps of: 1) uniformly dispersing a prepared lithium-rich cathode material in a mixed solution of deionized water and an organic solvent to obtain a solution A; 2) dissolving gadolinium nitrate and phosphate in the deionized water to prepare solutions B and C; 3) adding the solutions B and C to the solution A under a room-temperature stirring state, and adjusting the pH value of the solution to 8 to 11 in order that the solutions B and C react and are in-situ deposited onto the surface of the lithium-rich material; 4) stirring and ageing the solution for 2 to 5 hours, performing oil bath evaporation to dryness and performing grinding to obtain a coated precursor; and 5) calcining the coated precursor in an atmosphere at 450 to 600 degrees centigrade for 4 to 6 hours, and naturallycooling the coated precursor to room temperature to finally obtain the GdPO4-coated lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material. The method uses the wet chemical deposition method to in-situ coat the surface of the lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material with the GdPO4, is easy to operate, inhibits the corrosion of the surface of the material by an electrolyte, stabilizes the structure ofthe material, reduces oxygen loss, and has wide application prospects.
