Abstract

This invention belongs to the field of cathode material technology, specifically relating to a single-crystal cathode material, its preparation method, and its applications. The single-crystal cathode material has a median particle size of 2.8–3.5 μm and a compaction density of 3.00–3.80 g / cm³. 3 The specific particle size of single-crystal cathode materials is beneficial for lithium-ion insertion and extraction; it also provides more reaction interfaces, which is conducive to ion movement; the specific compaction density ensures that more single crystals can be filled in the same electrode volume, and ensures that the single crystals are in closer and more complete contact with other materials in the cathode active layer; it reduces electronic conduction impedance, and the single-crystal cathode material is fully combined with the conductive agent, which improves the electronic conductivity of the single-crystal cathode material. The high conductivity ensures that the material can quickly conduct electrons and ions at high rates, thereby improving the rate performance of batteries made of single-crystal cathode materials.
