[0002] In existing lithium iron phosphate battery electrode materials, there is a problem of excessive lithium loss during the first charge-discharge cycle, that is, lithium in the positive electrode undergoes an irreversible side reaction on the surface of the negative electrode to form a solid electrolyte interface layer, which cannot return to the positive electrode during subsequent discharge processes, resulting in an irreversible reduction in battery capacity, a shortened cycle life, and a reduced first-week efficiency. Currently, commonly used lithium supplement agents such as lithium ferrite (Li 5 FeO 4 ), due to reaction process problems, generate a large amount of lithium carbon oxide impurities, resulting in poor conductivity of lithium ferrite as a lithium supplement agent, which is not conducive to direct use in the positive electrode.

After grinding, FS@LFO is obtained, which is called lithium supplement agent A-16.
[0045] X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscope analysis were respectively carried out on F-MIL-1 to F-MIL-9 in Synthesis Examples 1 - 9, FS-MOF-1 in Synthesis Example 1, and FS-MOF-10 to FS-MOF-12 in Synthesis Examples 10 - 12 of the preparation method of the cathode lithium supplement agent. Table 1 shows the data obtained from the X-ray diffraction analysis of FS-MOF-1 to FS-MOF-9: Table 1 X-ray diffraction data of F-MIL-1 to F-MIL-9 Appendix Figure 1 In a-i in the appendix correspond to the morphology diagrams of F-MIL-1 to F-MIL-9 in Synthesis Examples 1 - 9 taken under an electron scanning microscope. Combining the X-ray diffraction data of F-MIL-1 to F-MIL-9, it can be seen that the morphology of F-MIL-1 in Synthesis Example 1 is a hexagonal tubular hollow structure with the largest specific surface area. Comparing Synthesis Examples 1 - 5, it can be seen that by changing FeCl 3 ·6H 2The feeding ratio of the two reactants, O and 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid, will affect the morphology of the product. F-MIL-1 has the largest specific surface area. Comparing Synthesis Example 1 with Synthesis Examples 6 and 7, it can be seen that when N,N-dimethylformamide is changed to dimethyl sulfoxide or absolute ethanol, the morphology of F-MIL-6 and F-MIL-7 changes from hollow tubular to solid spherical and amorphous, and the specific surface area is greatly reduced. Comparing Synthesis Example 1 with Synthesis Example 8, it can be seen that reducing the heating temperature of the oven will cause F-MIL to change from hollow tubular to solid rod-shaped. Comparing Synthesis Example 1 with Synthesis Example 9, it can be seen that increasing the heating temperature of the oven will cause the length of the hollow tube to decrease. Appendix Figure 2 Figure J in the appendix is the morphology diagram of FS-MOF-1 in Synthesis Example 1 taken under an electron scanning microscope. Appendix Figure 2 Figures K - M in the appendix correspond to the morphology diagrams of FS-MOF-10 to FS-MOF-12 in Synthesis Examples 10 - 12 taken under an electron scanning microscope. It can be seen that the specific surface area of FS-MOF-1 in Synthesis Example 1 is smaller than that of F-MIL-1 in Synthesis Example 1. That is, after the reaction of F-MIL-1 in Synthesis Example 1 with sulfur powder and carbon disulfide, due to the addition of sulfur element, the specific surface area of FS-MOF-1 in Synthesis Example 1 becomes smaller. The difference between Synthesis Examples 10 - 12 and Synthesis Example 1 is that the mass ratios of F-MIL-1, sulfur powder, and carbon disulfide in the fifth step are 0.5:1:0.1, 0.75:1:0.1, and 1:0.5:0.1 respectively. It can be seen that in FS-MOF-10 to FS-MOF-11 in Synthesis Examples 10 - 11, the content of F-MIL-1 first decreases and then increases, and the morphology of FS-MOF changes from hollow tubular FS-MOF-1 to solid tubular FS-MOF-10 and FS-MOF-11, and the specific surface area gradually decreases. Comparing Synthesis Example 1 and Synthesis Example 12, it can be seen that both FS-MOF-1 in Synthesis Example 1 and FS-MOF-12 in Synthesis Example 12 are hollow tubular structures. The reduction of the proportion of sulfur powder results in the specific surface area of FS-MOF-12 being smaller than that of FS-MOF-1. It can be seen that F-MIL-1 needs to maintain an appropriate ratio with sulfur powder to ensure the hollow tubular structure and a relatively large specific surface area.

The battery was graded according to the following steps: constant-current discharging at 0.5 C to 2.5 V, constant-current constant-voltage charging to 3.65 V at 0.5 C, constant-current discharging to 2.5 V, constant-current charging to 3.3 V. Initial efficiency = (total constant-current discharging capacity / constant-current constant-voltage charging capacity + formation charging capacity) * 100%.
[0076] Cycle performance test: The battery was left to stand at 25°C for 30 min, charged at a constant current of 0.5 C to 3.65 V, then charged at a constant voltage to 0.05 C, and then discharged at a constant current of 0.5 C to 2.5 V. The discharge capacity at this time was recorded as the discharge capacity of the first cycle. After standing for 10 min, the capacity of the lithium-ion battery after 1000 cycles was recorded. The capacity retention rate at the 1000th cycle = discharge capacity at the 1000th cycle / discharge capacity of the first cycle. Table 3 presents the initial efficiency, capacity, internal resistance, and capacity retention rate of the 1000th cycle at 1 C for each group of batteries in Examples 1-17 and Comparative Examples 1-4: Table 3 Initial Efficiency, Capacity, Internal Resistance, and Capacity Retention Rate of the 1000th Cycle at 1 C for Each Group of Batteries in Examples 1-17 and Comparative Examples 1-4 Combined with Table 3, it can be seen from the comparison of Examples 1-4 that at an addition ratio of 3%, the lithium supplement agent A-1 has the highest initial efficiency and capacity retention rate, that is, the battery has the highest efficiency during the first charge and discharge process and the longest battery life.
[0077] As can be seen from the comparison between Example 2 and Examples 4 - 14, in Synthesis Example 1 corresponding to Example 2, for the hollow tubular morphology of F-MIL-1 and FS-MOF-1, the specific surface area of F-MIL-1 in Example 2 is the largest compared to that in Examples 4 - 11, and the specific surface area of FS-MOF-1 in Example 2 is the largest relative to that in Examples 12 - 14. According to the morphology diagrams of F-MIL-1 and FS-MOF-1 in Synthesis Example 1 and the X-ray diffraction analysis results, the hollow tubular structure and surface flaky structure of the lithium supplement agent A-1 can serve as a lithium ion transport channel during the charge and discharge process of the battery, improving the battery cycle performance, reducing the battery internal resistance, and enhancing the battery conductivity. In addition, sulfur powder and carbon disulfide are added to the positive electrode lithium supplement agent in the present invention. The addition of sulfide participates in the formation of the SEI film. The larger the specific surface area, the higher the degree of sulfide participating in the formation of the SEI film, so the impedance is lower and the cycle life is longer.
[0078] As can be seen from the comparison between Example 2 and Examples 4 - 7, Example 2 adds lithium supplement agent A-1, and Examples 4 - 7 add lithium supplement agents A-2 to A-5. The morphology diagrams and X-ray diffraction analysis data of A-1 to A-5 show that the specific surface area of F-MIL-1 in lithium supplement agent A-1 is the largest. Combining Table 3, it can be seen that a large specific surface area of the material results in a short lithium ion transport path, showing the advantages of lower internal resistance and long cycle life in the battery cycle test.
[0079] As can be seen from the comparison between Example 2 and Examples 8 - 9, the initial efficiency of the battery in Example 2 is significantly greater than that of the batteries in Examples 8 and 9. Examples 8 - 9 add lithium supplement agents A-6 and A-7. It can be seen that the first solvent causes a change in the morphology of F-MIL. Neither F-MIL-6 nor F-MIL-7 in lithium supplement agents A-6 and A-7 has a hollow structure, resulting in a significant decrease in the initial efficiency and a decline in battery performance after adding the lithium supplement agents A-6 and A-7 to the battery.
[0080] As can be seen from the comparison between Example 2 and Examples 10 and 11, the battery performance of Example 2 is the best and the battery has good cycle performance, that is, the synthesis temperature of the lithium supplement agent in Example 2 is relatively appropriate. A decrease or increase in the synthesis temperature will lead to a decline in battery performance.
[0081] As can be seen from the comparison between Example 2 and Examples 12 - 14, by changing the mass ratio of F-MIL-1, sulfur powder, and carbon disulfide and increasing the proportion of F-MIL-1, the degree of sulfidation is relatively low, finally resulting in insufficient encapsulation of FS-MOF. Although the specific surface area gradually increases, with the decrease in the content of sulfide, it will affect the membrane impedance and battery cycle life of the battery. It can be seen that the mass ratio of F-MIL-1, sulfur powder, and carbon disulfide in the lithium supplement agent in Example 1 is superior to that in Examples 12 - 14.
[0082] From the comparison between Example 2 and Examples 15 - 17, it can be seen that adjusting the mass ratio of FS - MOF - 1 and lithium ferrite will affect the capacity performance of the final battery. From Example 16, Example 17 to Example 2, the proportion of FS - MOF - 1 gradually increases. In Examples 16, 17 and Example 2, the initial efficiency of the battery first decreases and then increases, the capacity gradually increases, the internal resistance gradually decreases, and the capacity retention rate first decreases and then increases. Generally speaking, the mass ratio of FS - MOF - 1 and lithium ferrite in Example 2 is the best.
[0083] By comparing the data of Example 2 with that of Comparative Examples 1, 2, 3 and 4, we can find that the lithium supplement agent A - 1, compared with the uncoated blank lithium supplement agent, pure FeS 2 , and the addition of the directly sulfided lithium supplement agent, has significantly improved the impedance, initial efficiency and cycle life, indicating that the lithium supplement agent A - 1 has significantly improved the performance of the polymer solid - state battery.
[0084] In the present invention, a coating is coated on the outer side of the existing lithium ferrite lithium supplement agent. This coating is preferably a hollow tubular structure with a large specific surface area. In the homogenization stage, because the coating is coated on the surface of lithium ferrite, it reduces the contact between lithium ferrite and PVDF, reduces the influence of residual alkali on the slurry, reduces the probability of slurry gelation, replaces the lithium oxide with poor conductivity on the surface of the lithium ferrite lithium supplement agent, and makes part of the lithium oxide react into lithium sulfide. In the charge - discharge stage of the battery, the high - specific - surface - area structure improves the conductivity of the positive - electrode lithium supplement agent of the present invention, improves the initial efficiency, capacity and cycle retention rate of the battery, and reduces the internal resistance of the battery.
[0085] Due to the adoption of the above - mentioned structure, the present invention has the advantages of ingenious structure, a coating on the outer layer of lithium oxide, good conductivity, good battery cycle performance, high battery capacity, etc.
