Among them, lithium iron manganese phosphate offers advantages such as low cost, high safety, and good stability. Furthermore, the industrial production process for lithium iron manganese phosphate cathode materials is highly mature, and its market application is growing rapidly. To meet the requirements for higher energy density, existing technology has increased the cathode material voltage platform to 4.1V through the preparation of lithium iron manganese phosphate, which has an energy density approximately 15% higher than that of lithium iron manganese phosphate.

[0004] CN111900344A discloses a method for preparing a carbon-coated lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material. First, a transition metal salt solution A, a phosphorus solution B, and an ammonia solution C, which are configured according to the molar ratio of Mn and Fe, are simultaneously added dropwise to a reactor to prepare a lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material precursor; then the precursor is prepared with a lithium source according to a molar ratio, and a coating carbon source and a doping metal compound are added, and the carbon-coated lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material is calcined under inert atmosphere protection.

[0064] Example 4

[0065] The only difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the mass ratio of aniline to phytic acid is 2:1, and other conditions and parameters are exactly the same as those in embodiment 1.

[0066] Example 5

[0067] The only difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the mass ratio of aniline to phytic acid is 15:1, and other conditions and parameters are exactly the same as those in embodiment 1.

[0068] Example 6

[0069] The only difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that commercially available mesoporous manganese dioxide is directly used, and other conditions and parameters are exactly the same as those in embodiment 1.

[0070] Example 7

[0071] The only difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the molar ratio of mesoporous manganese dioxide to aniline in the mixed solution is 5:1, and other conditions and parameters are exactly the same as those in embodiment 1.

[0072] Example 8

[0073] The only difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the molar ratio of mesoporous manganese dioxide to aniline in the mixed solution is 60:1, and other conditions and parameters are exactly the same as those in embodiment 1.

[0074] Comparative Example 1

[0075] This comparative example provides a lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material, which is prepared by the following method:

[0076] (1) Prepare a mixed solution of ferrous sulfate with a concentration of 0.5 mol / L and ascorbic acid with a mass fraction of 10%, an oxalic acid solution with a concentration of 0.5 mol / L, and a manganese sulfate solution with a concentration of 0.5 mol / L.

[0077] (2) Using oxalic acid solution as the base liquid, add a mixed solution of ferrous sulfate, ascorbic acid and manganese sulfate solution to it so that the oxalate: manganese: iron in the reaction solution is 3.5:1:2, and stir the reaction for 3 hours to obtain a manganese iron oxalate precursor.

[0078] (3) A manganese iron oxalate precursor, lithium carbonate, phosphoric acid, and glucose were mixed and sintered at 700°C in an inert atmosphere for 10 h to obtain a manganese iron phosphate lithium cathode material. The molar ratio of (iron + manganese): lithium: phosphorus was 1:1.08:1.3, and the mass of glucose added was 10% of the mass of the precursor.

[0079] Comparative Example 2

[0080] The only difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the oxalic acid solution is replaced with phosphoric acid, and the other conditions and parameters are exactly the same as Example 1. The precipitation coefficients of manganese phosphate and ferrous phosphate are quite different, and the manganese and iron elements in the synthesized positive electrode material are unevenly distributed.

[0081] Performance testing:

[0082] The lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material, conductive agent acetylene black, and binder polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) prepared in the embodiment and comparative example were mixed uniformly in a mass ratio of 90:5:5 with N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) as solvent, and then coated on aluminum foil. After drying, the mixture was rolled to form a simulated battery positive electrode. The negative electrode was a metal lithium sheet, the separator was Celgard 2400, and the electrolyte was 1 mol L -1 A CR2025 simulated battery was constructed using LiPF6 / DMC+DEC (volume ratio 1:1). The charge and discharge voltage range was 2.9-3.7V, and electrochemical performance data for lithium manganese iron phosphate was obtained. The powder conductivity at 30 MPa was measured using a powder conductivity meter. The test results are shown in Table 1:

[0083] Table 1

[0084] As can be seen from Table 1, from Examples 1-3, the powder conductivity of the lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material prepared by the method described in the present disclosure can reach more than 0.1s / cm, the 0.1C discharge capacity of the prepared battery can reach more than 155.85mAh / g, the 5C discharge capacity can reach more than 119.77mAh / g, and the 5C / 0.1C rate can reach more than 76.85%.

[0085] By comparing Example 1 with Examples 4-5, it can be seen that in the preparation process of the lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material described in the present disclosure, the mass ratio of aniline and phytic acid affects its performance. When the mass ratio of aniline and phytic acid is controlled at (4-10):1, the performance of the lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material obtained is better. If the amount of phytic acid added is too large, manganese dissolves too quickly, and it is difficult to control the uniformity of manganese iron distribution. If the amount of phytic acid added is too small, it is difficult to promote the dissolution of manganese ions in the one-step reaction, which will also affect the manganese iron distribution.

[0086] From the comparison between Example 1 and Example 6, it can be seen that the pore distribution of the mesoporous manganese dioxide prepared by the method of the present disclosure is uniform, and the performance of the lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material prepared is significantly improved.

[0087] By comparing Example 1 with Examples 7-8, it can be seen that in the preparation process of the lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material disclosed in the present invention, the molar ratio of mesoporous manganese dioxide to aniline in the mixed solution affects its performance. The molar ratio of mesoporous manganese dioxide to aniline in the mixed solution is controlled at (10-50):1, and the performance of the lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material obtained is better. If the amount of mesoporous manganese dioxide added is too large and the aniline content is low, the conductivity of the synthesized positive electrode material is not significantly improved. If the amount of mesoporous manganese dioxide added is too small, the aniline content is too high, which affects the gram capacity of the material.

[0088] By comparison of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that mesoporous manganese dioxide balls are used as self-sacrificial templates, and divalent manganese is dissolved and divalent iron is used to form manganese ferrooxalate precipitation during the formation of polyaniline balls, which can form a manganese ferrooxalate precursor with an internal carbon network structure. After heat treatment, an N and P-doped carbon network can be formed in the lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material, which can greatly improve the material conductivity. At the same time, the N and P-doped carbon network can improve the wettability of the material, which is more conducive to the infiltration of the electrolyte and more conducive to the transmission of lithium ions. The carbon network structure can make the entire precursor particle have good conductivity, which can make the material conductive evenly compared to carbon coating only on the outer layer, thereby improving the capacity and cycle stability of the material.

[0089] From the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that the present disclosure uses oxalic acid as a chelating agent to prepare a manganese ferrooxalate precursor. During the sintering reaction, the porous structure produced by the decomposition of oxalate ions can adsorb lithium sources, promote the entry of lithium salts into the interior of the particles, and the material has good uniformity.
