The “embodiment” in various places in the specification does not necessarily mean the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

Term “range” disclosed in the present application is defined in the form of a lower limit and an upper limit, a given range is defined by selecting a lower limit and an upper limit, and the selected lower limit and upper limit define the boundary of a special range. The range defined in this way can be inclusive or exclusive, and can be arbitrarily combined, that is, any lower limit can be combined with any upper limit to form a range.

A character “ / ” generally indicates that contextual objects are in an “or” relationship. Traditional coating techniques, such as dry coating by mechanical mixing or wet coating by coating the coating material in the form of solution on the surface of the material, have their own limitations, which may lead to relatively thick or inhomogeneous coating layer and affect the coating effect; and the existing materials used for coating LMFP also need to be strengthened for improving the performance of the battery. In order to solve the above problems existing in the related art, according to the first aspect of the present application, there is provided a lithium iron manganese phosphate composite material comprising a core, a first coating layer and a second coating layer, wherein the first coating layer is uniformly coated on the outer surface of the core, and the second coating layer is coated on the outer surface of the first coating layer; the core comprises a material having a chemical general formula LixMnyFe1-y-zDzPO4, wherein 1≤x≤1.05, 0<y<1, 0≤z<1, and D is a metal element; the first coating layer comprises a material having a chemical general formula LiaAlbMcOd, 0<a≤1, 0<b<1, 0<c<1, 0<d<3, and M comprises at least one of Y element, Zr element and Mg element; and the second coating layer comprises carbon. The electronic conductivity of LMFP material is relatively low. By coating the conductive material uniformly on the surface of LMFP, the conductive resistance can be reduced to some extent, and the electrochemical performance of the material can be improved. Carbon material is the preferred material to improve the electronic conductivity of LMFP. The improvement of the properties of LMFP materials by carbon coating is mainly reflected in the following aspects: firstly, it can effectively prevent the growth of crystal particles; secondly, it can prevent agglomeration among particles; thirdly, it can improve the electronic conductivity of the material and provide an effective lithium ion diffusion channel; fourthly, it can be used as a reducing agent to prevent oxidation of materials. Under the condition that the outermost carbon coating layer exists, in the present application, a layer of LiaAlbMcOd material is uniformly coated on the outer surface of the core LMFP, thereby forming a bulk Al element and M element co-doped region near the surface of the LMFP, wherein Al element is beneficial to stabilizing the structure, relieving the dissolution of Mn3+and improving the cycling performance; the ion radius of Y element is relatively large, which can increase the diffusion channel of lithium ions and is beneficial to the transmission of lithium ions; Zr element doping can play a "pillar" role, reduce lattice distortion, stabilize crystal structure and improve conductivity; Mg element ions have low electronegativity and low adsorption force to electrolyte solution, which can alleviate the excessive decomposition of electrolyte solution. Compared with single metal element doping, the co-doping of Al element and M element (Y element, Zr element, Mg element) can produce a synergistic effect, which can effectively reduce the contact area between LMFP and electrolyte solution and the occurrence of side reactions, solve the problems of low conductivity and serious cycling performance degradation due to manganese dissolution during repeated lithiation / de-lithiation of LMFP materials, and further improve the structural stability as well as the electrochemical performances of the LMFP, such as capacity, rate capability and cycling performance. Those skilled in the art can understand that the coating layer should not be too thick, otherwise it will affect the performance of LMFP. At the same time, the coating layer thickness should be as uniform as possible, that is, coating should be uniform, so as to achieve the coating effect and achieve the purpose of coating. In an optional embodiment, the content of the first coating layer is in a range from 0.1 wt% to 3.0 wt% based on the total weight of the lithium iron manganese phosphate composite material. Thus, an ultra-thin and uniform LAMO coating layer can be formed on the outer surface of LMFP, which can achieve the purpose of improving the conductivity and inhibiting the dissolution of manganese, without affecting the capacity release of LMFP. As an example, the content of the first coating layer can be, for example, 0.1 wt%, 0.5 wt%, 1.0 wt%, 1.5 wt%, 2.0 wt%, 2.5 wt%, 3.0 wt%, or within a range composed of any two of the above values. In an optional embodiment, the thickness of the first coating layer is in a range from 1nm to 10nm. The ultra-thin LAMO coating layer can play a role of coating that improves the electrical conductivity and inhibits the dissolution of manganese without affecting the capacity release of LMFP. However, when the first coating layer is too thin, the LMFP core will inevitably contact the electrolyte solution directly, resulting in the dissolution of manganese ions. As an example, the thickness of the first coating layer may be 1 nm, 2 nm, 3 nm, 4 nm, 5 nm, 6 nm, 7 nm, 8 nm, 9 nm, 10 nm, or within a range composed of any two of the above values. In an optional embodiment of the present application, the content of carbon is in a range from 1.0 wt% to 3.0 wt% based on the total weight of the lithium iron manganese phosphate composite material; as an example, the content of carbon can be, for example, 1.0 wt%, 1.5 wt%, 2.0 wt%, 2.5 wt%, 3.0 wt%, or within a range composed of any two of above values. The applicant's research found that if the carbon content is too high, the compaction density and energy density of the material will be reduced, and because the carbon material itself has no electrochemical activity, too high carbon content will also lead to the decrease of the overall electrochemical capacity of the material; on the contrary, if the carbon content is too low, it cannot play the role to improve the electronic conductivity, at the same time, it is not conducive to alleviating the manganese dissolution problem of the core material LMFP. The research shows that doping metal ions in LMFP is an effective means to improve its performance. For example, doping vanadium and magnesium can obviously improve the charging-discharging performance and cycling performance of LMFP. The introduction of titanium element can inhibit the melting of particles, thus inhibiting the generation of large particles, reducing the size of the particles and shortening the lithium ion transmission path, which is beneficial to the electrochemical performance under the condition of charging and discharging at high current. The introduction of zirconium element can strengthen the crystal structure and make the structure stable and not collapse when the material is charged and discharged, which is then beneficial to the cycling performance. Doping niobium element can improve the conductivity of crystal, make the transmission speed of electrons faster, and be beneficial to the performance of energy efficiency and the like. Therefore, in an optional embodiment, the core material LMFP of the present application can contain doping element D, and the element D comprises at least one of Ti element, Zr element, V element, Nb element and Mg element. In a second aspect of the present application, there is provided a method for preparing a lithium iron manganese phosphate composite material, comprising the following steps: providing a core, which comprises a material having a chemical general formula LixMnyFe1-y-zDzPO4; preparing a first coating layer on the outer surface of the core utilizing an atomic layer deposition technology, the first coating layer comprises a material having a chemical general formula LiaAlbMcOd; and preparing a second coating layer on the outer surface of the first coating layer, wherein the second coating layer comprises carbon; wherein, 1≤x≤1.05, 0<y<1, 0≤z<1, and D is a metal element; and 0<a≤1, 0<b<1, 0<c<1, 0<d<3, and M comprises at least one of Y element, Zr element and Mg element. Compared with the traditional dry or wet coating technology, the atomic layer deposition technology used in the present application can form an ultra-thin and uniform LAMO coating layer on the surface of LMFP and Al and M co-doped regions near the surface, so as to avoid the influence of the coating layer on the performance of LMFP due to being too thick or uneven, and the co-doping of Al and M can produce a synergistic effect, which can effectively reduce the contact area between LMFP and electrolyte solution and the occurrence of side reactions, solve the problems of low conductivity and serious cycling performance degradation due to manganese dissolution during repeated lithiation / de-lithiation of LMFP materials, and then further improve the structural stability as well as the electrochemical performances of the LMFP, such as capacity, rate capability and cycling performance. Those skilled in the art can understand that the atomic layer deposition process conditions will affect the structure and properties of LAMO coating layer. In an optional embodiment, the atomic layer deposition technology comprises the following process conditions: placing the core material in a deposition chamber, heating to 200℃-600℃, and then introducing an inert carrier gas carrying with a precursor of lithium element, a precursor of aluminum element, a precursor of M element and a precursor of oxygen element, wherein the pulse time is set as 0.2s to 2s, and the number of deposition cycles is 10 to 150. Therefore, an ultra-thin and uniform LAMO coating layer can be formed on the surface of LMFP and Al and M co-doped regions can be formed near the surface, thus further improving the structural stability and electrochemical properties of LMFP, such as capacity, rate capability, cycling performance and the like. As an example, the deposition temperature can be 200℃, 300℃, 400℃, 500℃, 600℃, or within a range composed of any two of above values; the pulse time can be, for example, 0.2s, 0.5s, 0.8s, 1s, 1.2s, 1.5s, 1.8s, 2s, or within a range composed of any two of above values; and the number of deposition cycles is, for example, 10, 30, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, or within a range composed of any two of above values. The applicant’s research found that, if the deposition temperature is too low, LAMO cannot be formed, while if the deposition temperature is too high, it will lead to volatilization of Li element; too long pulse time will lead to uneven coating, and too short pulse time will lead to too long coating period; and if the number of deposition cycles is too many, the coating layer will be too thick, and if the number of deposition cycles is too few, the coating layer will be too thin and uneven. In an optional embodiment, D element comprises at least one of Ti element, Zr element, V element, Nb element and Mg element. Vanadium and magnesium doping can obviously improve the charging-discharging performance and cycling performance of LMFP, titanium can inhibit particle melting, zirconium can strengthen crystal structure, and niobium can improve crystal conductivity. In an optional embodiment, the precursor of lithium element comprises at least one of lithium tert-butoxide, tert-butyllithium, isobutyllithium and n-butyllithium. In an optional embodiment, the precursor of aluminum element comprises at least one of trimethylaluminum and dimethylaluminum isopropoxide. In an optional embodiment, the precursor of M element is an organometallic compound containing M element. As an example, the precursor of M element can be at least one of ethyl magnesium iodide, bis(methylcyclopentadienyl)magnesium, magnesocene, dimethylmagnesocene, zirconium(IV) acetylacetonate and yttrium tris(2-methoxyethanolate). In an optional embodiment, the precursor of oxygen element comprises at least one of deionized water, alcohol compounds and ketone compounds. As an example, the alcohol compounds may be methanol or ethanol, and the ketone compounds may be acetone. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that, common carbon coating methods, such as vapor deposition, liquid-phase deposition, hydrothermal method, pyrolysis method, etc., can be applied to the carbon coating step in the present application, so as to form a carbon coating layer on the outer surface of LiaAlbMcOd coating layer. In an optional embodiment, the intermediate (i.e. LixMnyFe1-y-zDzPO4 with LiaAlbMcOd coating layer) can be mixed with a carbon source, heated to 600-800℃ at a heating rate of 3℃ / min-5℃ / min in an inert atmosphere, and held at the temperature for 5h to 10h, thus forming a carbon coating layer outside the intermediate. As an example, the carbon source comprises at least one of glucose, sucrose, polyethylene glycol, phenolic resin, polyvinyl alcohol and citric acid. The heating rate can be 3℃ / min, 3.5℃ / min, 4℃ / min, 4.5℃ / min, 5℃ / min, or within a range composed of any two of above values. The pyrolysis temperature is, for example, 600℃, 650℃, 700℃, 750℃, 800℃, or within a range composed of any two of above values. The holding time can be 5h, 6h, 7h, 8h, 9h, 10h, or within a range composed of any two of above values. In an optional embodiment, the intermediate (i.e. LixMnyFe1-y-zDzPO4 with LiaAlbMcOd coating layer) can also be placed in a vapor deposition apparatus, and the temperature is raised to 700℃ to 800℃, and a gas containing a precursor of carbon element is introduced, and the pressure of the apparatus is adjusted to 0.1MPa to 0.5MPa for 5 h to 12 h; the intermediate is LixMnyFe1-y-zDzPO4 with LiaAlbMcOd coating layer; as an example, the precursor of carbon element comprises at least one of acetylene, ethylene and methane, and the deposition temperature can be 700℃, 720℃, 740℃, 760℃, 780℃, 800℃, or within a range composed of any two of above values; the deposition pressure can be 0.1MPa, 0.2MPa, 0.25MPa, 0.3MPa, 0.4MPa, 0.5MPa, or within a range composed of any two of above values; and the holding time can be 5h, 6h, 7h, 8h, 9h, 10h, 11h, 12h, or within a range composed of any two of above values. In an optional embodiment, the weight ratio of the intermediate to the carbon source is 1:(0.06-0.12), so that the content of the carbon coating layer in the finally formed LMFP composite material can be between 1.0% and 3.0%, thereby effectively improving the electronic conductivity. As an example, the weight ratio of the intermediate to the carbon source can be, for example, 1:0.06, 1:0.07, 1:0.08, 1:0.09, 1:0.10, 1:0.11, 1:0.12, or within a range composed of any two of above values. The content of carbon coating layer in LMFP composite material can be 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%, 2.5%, 3.0%, or within a range composed of any two of above values. It should be noted that the core material LixMnyFe1-y-zDzPO4 can be prepared by weighing, mixing and sintering a lithium source, a manganese source, an iron source, a D source (oxides, hydrochlorides, sulfates, nitrates and / or acetates of at least one of Ti element, Zr element, V element, Nb element and Mg element), a phosphorus source and a carbon source according to stoichiometric ratio. The main function of adding the carbon source is to prevent the oxidation of the iron source, and the amount of carbon source is relatively small, which makes the carbon content in the prepared core material negligible. It can be understood that LMFP materials doped with different D elements will be obtained by using different D sources. These are the conventional technical means for preparing LMFP materials in the art, so they will not be described in detail in the present application.

Typically, a secondary battery comprises a positive electrode plate, a negative electrode plate, an electrolyte, and a separator. During the charging and discharging process of the battery, active ions are intercalated and deintercalated back and forth between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate. The electrolyte serves to transmit ions between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate. The separator is set between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate, mainly plays the role of preventing the positive and negative electrodes from short-circuiting, and at the same time allows the ions to pass through.

Compared with Examples 1 to 3, the LAMO coating layer produced in Examples 4 and 5 with the number of deposition cycles of 100-150 is thicker, which can better inhibit manganese dissolution and improve the cycling performance, but at the same time, it also adversely affects the LMFP capacity, and since the coating layer itself is not electrochemically active, when the weight percentage of the coating layer is higher, the capacity does not increase, while the weight increase instead, leading to a decrease in specific capacity (capacity / weight) and affecting the rate capability. On the contrary, in Examples 6 and 7, the number of deposition cycles is 10 to 25, the LAMO coating layer produced is relatively thin, the inhibition effect on manganese dissolution decreases, which in turn affects the lithium ion transport rate, and cycling performance and rate capability of the battery are correspondingly not good enough. The core materials of Examples 9 and 10 are doped with element D, and then the synergistic effect among ions of different valence states through ion doping is able to increase the electrical conductivity and stabilize the lattice structure, which is conducive to the enhancement of electrochemical properties. Compared with Example 1, there is no LAMO coating layer in Comparative Example 1, the material has serious manganese dissolution and fast cycling performance degradation. There is no carbon coating layer in Comparative Example 2, which is not conducive to suppressing manganese dissolution and enhancing electrochemical performance, which is because the coated carbon layer is both a physical barrier to block the direct contact between manganese element and electrolyte solution and an excellent conductive substance. In Comparative Example 3, LAO was used as the coating layer, the capacity retention rate and rate capability of the battery are significantly inferior to that of Example 1 with a LAMO coating layer, and the same regular pattern also appears in Comparative Examples 4 and 5, which suggests that, compared with LAO coating, LAMO coating can further improve the structural stability as well as the electrochemical performance of LMFP in terms of capacity, rate capability, and cycling performance due to the synergistic effect of Al and M elements. Obviously, the above examples are merely examples for the purpose of clear illustration, and are not a limitation of the embodiments. For those skilled ordinary in the art, other variations or changes in different forms can be made on the basis of the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaust all of the embodiments herein. The obvious variations or changes derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the present application.
