However, the actual energy density of commercial lithium ion battery is slowly increased due to the embedded energy storage mechanism of its own material, and gradually approaches the limit value of 300 Wh / kg. Therefore, in order to meet the consumer demand of electric vehicle market, it is the social consensus to develop secondary batteries with higher energy density.

[0036] S20, mixing the lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material and the electrolyte material, adding a fluxing agent for sintering, to obtain the electrolyte-modified lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material;

[0037] The chemical formula of the lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material is xLi2MnO3·(1-x)LiMO2, and M is at least two of Mn, Co and Ni elements, 0≤x≤1.

[0038] The chemical formula of the electrolyte material is Li 3+2a+b-d+e [Zr 2-a-b-c-d M Ⅱ a M Ⅲ b M Ⅳ c M Ⅴ d ]Si 2+e P 1-e O 12 , and M is at least two of Mn, Co and Ni elements, M Ⅱ is at least one of Cu, Mg, Zn, Mn, Ca, Ba and Sr, M Ⅲ is at least one of Al, Sc, Ga, Y, La and In, M Ⅳ is at least one of Ce, Ti, Ge, Hf and Sn, and M Ⅴat least one of Nb, Ta, V and Sb, 0≤a≤0.3, 0≤b≤0.3, 0≤c≤0.3, 0≤d≤0.4, 0≤e≤0.6, 0≤α≤0.1, 0≤x≤1.

[0039] The chemical formula of the electrolyte-modified lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material is xLi2MnO3·(1-x)LiMO2·αLi 3+2a+b-d+e [Zr 2-a-b-c-d M Ⅱ a M Ⅲ b M Ⅳ c M Ⅴ d ]Si 2+e P 1-e O 12 , and M is at least two of Mn, Co and Ni elements, M Ⅱ is at least one of Cu, Mg, Zn, Mn, Ca, Ba and Sr, M Ⅲ is at least one of Al, Sc, Ga, Y, La and In, M Ⅳ is at least one of Ce, Ti, Ge, Hf and Sn, M Ⅴ at least one of Nb, Ta, V and Sb, 0≤a≤0.3, 0≤b≤0.3, 0≤c≤0.3, 0≤d≤0.4, 0≤e≤0.6, 0≤α≤0.1, 0≤x≤1.

[0040] In the embodiment, the lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material is modified by the electrolyte material to obtain the electrolyte-modified lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material. On the one hand, the electrolyte material is an excellent fast ion conductor, and the ion conductivity is as high as 10 -3The S / cm ratio is much higher than that of the lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material. Therefore, by coating the surface of the electrolyte-modified lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material with the electrolyte, the ion diffusion rate between the lithium-rich manganese-based cathode materials can be improved, thereby effectively improving the ionic conductivity of the lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material and improving its rate performance. On the other hand, the electrolyte material has strong structural and chemical stability. During the modification process of the lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material, the electrolyte material will not react with the lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material to generate additional impurity phases, avoiding the influence of impurities on the performance of the prepared electrolyte-modified lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material. Moreover, after the modification process is completed, the electrolyte material can prevent the electrolyte-modified lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material from contacting the electrolyte, thereby avoiding the occurrence of side reactions. At the same time, through the electrolyte modification, the dissolution of manganese in the lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material can be suppressed, which is beneficial to improving the voltage decay during the cycling process of the electrolyte-modified lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material and improving the long-term cycling stability of the electrolyte-modified lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material.

[0041] Understandably, in this embodiment, in order to uniformly coat the surface of the lithium-rich manganese-based electrode material, the electrolyte material is used to be nanoscale in size.

[0042] The amount of electrolyte material added is 0-3% of the amount of lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material added, by molar percentage.

[0043] Specifically, the sintering temperature in step S20 is 300-700℃, and the sintering time is 2-8 hours. Preferably, the flux added in step S20 is at least one selected from B2O3, KF, BaCl2, CaCl2, LiCl, Na2B4O7, Li2B4O7, Na2BO3, NaCl, KCl, and Li2BO2.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the preparation method of the electrolyte material includes the following steps:

[0045] S11. Mix silicon source, phosphorus source, sodium source, zirconium source, first metal source, second metal source, third metal source, fourth metal source and complexing agent to obtain a mixed solution;

[0046] S12. The mixed solution is heated and evaporated to obtain a gel, and then the gel is dried and dispersed to obtain an intermediate product;

[0047] S13. The intermediate product is calcined to obtain the precursor material;

[0048] S14, mixing the precursor material with a lithium salt, a liquid carrier under an inert gas atmosphere, and then performing an ion exchange reaction to obtain the electrolyte material;

[0049] wherein the first metal source is at least one of a copper source, a magnesium source, a zinc source, a manganese source, a calcium source, a palladium source, and a strontium source, the second metal source is at least one of an aluminum source, a scandium source, a gallium source, a yttrium source, a lanthanum source, and an indium source, the third metal source is at least one of a cerium source, a titanium source, a cadmium source, a hafnium source, and a tin source, and the fourth metal source is at least one of a niobium source, an antimony source, a vanadium source, and a tantalum source.

[0050] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the precursor material is prepared by a solution-assisted solid-phase reaction method. After obtaining a mixed solution, the pH of the mixed solution is controlled to be 1-3, the mixed solution is evaporated by heating until a gel is formed, the gel is dried and then dispersed by a ball mill to obtain an intermediate product, and finally the intermediate product is calcined to obtain the precursor material.

[0051] wherein step S13, the step of calcining the intermediate product to obtain the precursor material, comprises:

[0052] The intermediate product is calcined at a temperature of 800-1000°C under an air atmosphere to obtain the precursor material.

[0053] In the present embodiment, the chemical formula of the obtained precursor material is Na 3+2a+b-d+e [Zr 2-a-b-c-d M Ⅱ a M Ⅲ b M Ⅳ c M Ⅴ d ]Si 2+e P 1-e O 12 , and M Ⅱ is at least one of Cu, Mg, Zn, Mn, Ca, Ba, and Sr, M Ⅲ is at least one of Al, Sc, Ga, Y, La, and In, M Ⅳ is at least one of Ce, Ti, Ge, Hf, and Sn, M Ⅴ is at least one of Nb, Ta, V, and Sb, 0≤a≤0.3, 0≤b≤0.3, 0≤c≤0.3, 0≤d≤0.4, and 0≤e≤0.6.

[0054] Further, in the embodiment, after the precursor material is obtained, the precursor material is mixed with the lithium salt and the liquid carrier to perform the ion exchange reaction in an inert gas environment to obtain a reaction product, wherein the lithium salt is one of lithium hexafluorophosphate, lithium bis-trifluoromethylsulfonylimide, lithium bis-difluorosulfonylimide and lithium tetrafluoroborate, the liquid carrier is at least one of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis-trifluoromethylsulfonimide, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis-trifluoromethylsulfonimide, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate and 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, and preferably, the ion exchange reaction is performed at a temperature of 150-250°C. Then, the reaction product is filtered, washed and dried to obtain the electrolyte material. Preferably, the electrolyte material has a particle size of 100-2000 nm, a specific surface area of 10-30 m 2 / g, and the conductivity of the electrolyte material prepared in the embodiment is 0.1-5 mS / cm in a related conductivity test.

[0055] It should be noted that the liquid carrier used in the embodiment can be reused through zeolite adsorption renewable process, so as to reduce the preparation cost of the electrolyte material, and further reduce the preparation cost of the lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material modified by the electrolyte.

[0056] Further, in the embodiment, the lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material is obtained by co-sintering of a precursor and a lithium source, wherein the precursor is prepared by co-precipitation reaction of a mixed solution of nickel salt, cobalt salt and manganese salt and a precipitator sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate, and the lithium source is lithium hydroxide or lithium carbonate.

[0057] In a second aspect, the embodiment provides a lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material modified by an electrolyte, which is prepared by the method for preparing the lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material modified by an electrolyte.
