Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of new energy storage technology, and relates to a lithium-ion battery cathode material, its preparation method and application, and in particular to a high-nickel cobalt-free cathode material doped with molybdenum and fluorine, its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries, with their advantages of high discharge specific capacity and long cycle life, have been widely used in consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and energy storage. However, with rapid socio-economic development, people have placed higher demands on power batteries in terms of energy density, safety, and environmental friendliness. As a key component of lithium-ion batteries, cathode materials have always been a research focus. Among the currently commercialized layered cathode materials, lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) has become one of the earliest materials to achieve full commercialization due to its simple synthesis process and excellent cycle performance. However, its capacity density is relatively low and can no longer meet current needs. In contrast, high-nickel cobalt-manganese ternary materials (such as NCM811) have become the most promising cathode materials in the electric vehicle field due to their higher energy density. However, due to the scarcity and high price of global cobalt resources, its radioactivity and potential environmental pollution, as well as its relatively low safety, its widespread application still faces many challenges.

[0003] This invention addresses the problems existing in current lithium-ion battery cathode materials by developing a novel material system that combines high capacity and excellent cycle performance. To improve the cycle stability and rate performance of the high-nickel cobalt-free material and reduce the degree of lithium-nickel mixing, a dual doping strategy of molybdenum and fluorine anions and cations is adopted, thereby further reducing the production cost of the high-nickel cobalt-free cathode material and significantly improving its lithium storage performance.
