Problems solved by technology

The solid-phase sintering method mainly uses mechanical means to mix and refine raw materials, which can easily lead to uneven microscopic distribution of raw materials, making it difficult for the diffusion process to proceed smoothly. At the same time, impurities are easily introduced during the mechanical refinement process, and the calcination temperature is high. Long calcination time, high energy consumption, serious loss of lithium, difficult to control the stoichiometric ratio, easy to form impurity phases, large differences in product composition, structure, particle size distribution, etc., resulting in unstable electrochemical performance of the product
