The invention relates to the technical field of positive
electrode material modification, in particular to a positive
electrode material and a modification method thereof. The modification method of the positive
electrode material provided by the invention comprises the following steps: S1, mixing a precursor, a
lithium source and a
doping material, and carrying out primary
sintering to obtain a primary sintered material, the
doping material comprising an aluminum source, an
antimony source and a
zirconium source; s2, washing the first sintered material with water, and carrying out
solid-liquid separation to obtain an intermediate; and S3, mixing the intermediate with
boric acid and
lithium metaaluminate, and carrying out secondary
sintering to obtain the modified positive
electrode material. The three elements of aluminum,
zirconium and
antimony are doped, so that the direct-current resistance is effectively reduced, the
side reaction in the material is reduced, and the de-intercalation rate of
lithium ions is improved. According to the invention, before
coating, residual alkali on the surface of the material is washed off by setting the step of washing and
coating, so that the cycle performance of the positive
electrode material is further improved, and meanwhile,
boric acid and lithium metaaluminate are used for isolating the contact between the positive
electrode material and an
electrolyte to a great extent, so that the cycle performance of the material is improved.
