The lithium iron phosphate prepared using the existing iron phosphate has relatively poor low-temperature performance. In order to solve the problems in the above related technology, the first aspect of the present application provides an iron phosphate having a crystallinity of 90% to 100% and a specific surface area of 15 m2 / g to 20m2 / g. The lithium iron phosphate produced using the iron phosphate of the present application has excellent low-temperature performance. For example, the present application provides an iron phosphate having a crystallinity of 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or 100%; for example, the present application provides an iron phosphate having a specific surface area of 15 m2 / g, 16 m2 / g, 17 m2 / g, 18 m2 / g, 19 m2 / g or 20 m2 / g. In an optional embodiment, the present application provides an iron phosphate having a crystallinity of greater than or equal to 92%; and / or, the present application provides an iron phosphate having a specific surface area of greater than or equal to 16 m2 / g. In a second aspect, the present application also provides a method for preparing an iron phosphate, comprising the following steps: S1, mixing an iron source, a phosphorus source and an alkaline substance in a reactor, performing a precipitation reaction under near-infrared light radiation, and performing solid-liquid separation to obtain a precipitate; S2, aging the precipitate, performing solid-liquid separation to obtain a solid, and drying the solid to obtain an aged product; and S3, calcining the aged product to obtain the iron phosphate; wherein a rotating speed of a rotor in the reactor is 2,500 rpm to 3,000 rpm, and a porous filler is fixed on the rotor; a molar amount of the alkaline substance is 60% to 100% of a molar amount of the iron source; and the iron source is a water-soluble ferrous salt. For example, the rotating speed of the rotor is 2,500 rpm, 2,600 rpm, 2,700 rpm, 2,800 rpm, 2,900 rpm, or 3,000 rpm; for example, the molar amount of the alkaline substance is 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or 100% of the molar amount of the iron source. Near-infrared light refers to electromagnetic waves with wavelengths ranging from 780 nm to 2,526 nm. Optionally, a device for generating near-infrared light in the experiment is a modulatable optical fiber laser coupled beam expander mirror device with a center wavelength of 980 nm. Based on the analysis of chemical process intensification theory at nano-micro scale, the present application proposes a method for preparing iron phosphate with high specific surface area and high crystallinity by using near-infrared light radiation-assisted intensification reaction at nano-micro scale. As shown in FIGS.10 and 11, according to the present application, high-density cavitation bubbles are generated through near-infrared light radiation and high-speed rotating porous filler to form a large number of nanobubbles with ultra-small particle diameters within the reaction solution, and by using hydroxyl radicals on the surface of the nanobubbles as an oxidizing agent, ferrous ions are instantly oxidized into ferric ions which reacted with the phosphorus source to precipitate, thereby obtaining iron phosphate precipitates adsorbed with nanobubbles on the surface. In the process section of aging and calcining, the migration, aggregation, and bursting process of the nanobubbles in the reaction solution prompts the formation of a large number of nano-microporous structures within the iron phosphate precipitates, thereby obtaining iron phosphate powder materials with high specific surface area and high crystallinity.

Test Example (1) The specific surface area (BET) of iron phosphate was tested using a physical adsorption meter. The ratio of iron to phosphorus in iron phosphate was measured by artificial chemical titration, and the reference standard was “Iron phosphate for battery materials (HG / T4701-2021)”. The crystallinity of iron phosphate was characterized by XRD refinement as well as the internal standard method, with a PDF card number of 29-0715. The test results are shown in Table 2. Table 2. Performance parameters of iron phosphate BET (m2 / g) Crystallinity (%) Example 1 19.79 99.9 Example 2 17.84 95.4 Example 3 19.50 96.2 Example 4 17.69 95.0 Example 5 17.06 94.7 Example 6 16.66 94.3 Example 7 19.16 98.2 Example 8 19.60 99.8 Example 9 19.55 98.9 Example 10 15.65 92.1 Comparative Example 1 6.25 85% Comparative Example 2 2.38 60% Comparative Example 3 12.45 86% It can be seen from the comparison between Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-3 that the specific surface area and crystallinity of the iron phosphate prepared by the method of the present application are substantially improved. It can be seen from Examples 1-4 that the ratio of the alkaline substance to the iron source directly affects the specific surface area and the crystallinity of the finished product. When the molar amount of the alkaline substance is 75% to 90% of the molar amount of the iron source, the prepared iron phosphate can have higher specific surface area and higher crystallinity. It can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Example 5 that higher feeding speed results in a slight decrease in specific surface area and crystallinity. It can be seen from comparison between Example 5 and Example 6 that when the rotating speed is reduced, the specific surface area and the crystallinity are slightly reduced. (2) Zeiss Sigma 500 field type emission scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to characterize the iron phosphate material, and the results of the characterization are shown in FIG.2 - FIG.7. It can be seen from the comparison between FIGS.2-5 (results of Examples 1, 2, 5 and 7) and FIGS. 6-7 (results of Comparative Examples 1-2) that the iron phosphate primary particles prepared in the present application have smaller particle diameter and better uniformity. (3) Japan Rigaku type X-ray powder diffractometer (XRD) was used to characterize the iron phosphate material obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, and the results of the characterization are shown in FIGS.8-9. The XRD characterization results of Comparative Example 2 are shown in FIG. 9. In Comparative Example 2, the molar amount of NH3 reached 200% of Fe, and the XRD spectrum showed that the intermediate product obtained after drying under this condition was hydroxyl ammonium ferric phosphate, which was not the desired intermediate product ferric phosphate dihydrate, and the iron phosphate obtained after calcining had a BET of only 2.38 m2 / g. (4) The iron phosphate prepared from the examples and the comparative examples were prepared into lithium iron phosphate, and the specific preparation process comprised the following steps: mixing iron phosphate, lithium carbonate, polyethylene glycol, titanium dioxide and water according to a weight ratio of 1000: 252: 200: 7: 2200 and performing wet grinding to form a slurry, spray drying the slurry to obtain a spray dried intermediate, sintering the spray dried intermediate under a nitrogen atmosphere at 650 °C for 10 h with a heating speed of 3 °C / min to obtain a sintered product, and finally carrying out airflow pulverizing on the sintered product to obtain the lithium iron phosphate product. The low-temperature performance of lithium iron phosphate was tested with the following specific test process: 1) the lithium iron phosphate, acetylene black and polyvinylidene fluoride in a weight ratio of 80:10:10 were dissolved in N-methyl-pyrrolidone, stirred uniformly, and then coated on an aluminum foil, and then dried at 100°C in a blasting blowing drying oven; 2) the dried product was punched and sliced into small round pieces with a diameter of 12 mm as the positive electrode plate; and 3) lithium metal piece were used as negative electrode plate, polypropylene microporous membrane was used as a separator, and a mixture of 1 mol / L of LiPF6, EC and DMC (volume ratio of 1:1:1) was used as the electrolyte solution to assemble the CR2025-type button cell in a glove box filled with argon gas. NEWARE BTS-5 V / 5 mA battery test system was used to test the charging and discharging performance of the battery at a voltage ranging from 4.3 V to 2.5 V. The discharge capacity at 0.1C was tested at 25°C, and the discharge capacity at 1C was tested at -20°C, and the capacity retention rate at -20°C = discharge capacity at 1C (-20°C) / discharge capacity at 0.1C (25°C). The test results are shown in Table 3. Table 3.
