Problems solved by technology

[0005] Research on pre-lithium materials has been a research hotspot in the field of lithium batteries in recent years. Patent CN 107221650 B mentions a lithium supplement additive and its preparation method. It is completed by mixing various substances in a certain proportion and multi-step sintering, but the active ingredients The purity is low, and the small activity of some product particles makes it difficult to store, and passivation treatment is required, and the process is complicated
Patent CN107819113A discloses a lithium-supplementing additive and its preparation method and application. The lithium-supplementing additive is a core-shell structure, the core material is a conductive carbon material, and the shell material is lithium oxide; lithium oxide is deposited on the surface of the conductive carbon material. Nano-sized lithium oxide particles form nano-layer shells, and the preparation process is complex and difficult
[0006] In existing patents and research, the synthesis of Li 2 NiO 2 The raw materials and methods are mainly to choose Li 2 O / LiOH and the corresponding nickel salt, and adding additives for solid-phase synthesis, but found in the actual synthesis process, although it is possible to synthesize Li 2 NiO 2 sample, but its impurity components are large and the content is low, the main reason is that NiO is easy to agglomerate and segregate during the synthesis process, and the reproducibility is poor

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of lithium ion batteries, in particular to a pre-lithium material, in particular to a high-purity pre-lithium material and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] In order to improve the energy density of lithium-ion batteries, silicon anode materials with high specific capacity are gradually becoming the choice of battery companies and material suppliers, and become one of the most potential anode materials for next-generation lithium-ion batteries. However, the large volume expansion and low first-time Coulombic efficiency of silicon anode limit its practical application. Since the Coulombic efficiency of the positive electrode material is much higher than that of the negative electrode, the capacity of the positive electrode material cannot be fully utilized, resulting in waste of positive electrode materials and a decrease in battery capacity. This is mainly because a solid electroly...
