The invention relates to a method for improving electrochemical performance of a high-
nickel ternary positive
electrode material of a
lithium ion battery, and belongs to the preparation field of the
lithium ion positive
electrode material.
Phosphate, used as a
phosphate ion source, is mixed with a high-
nickel ternary precursor in a
liquid phase, and then the mixed material is dried in a
vacuum drying oven to prepare the high-
nickel ternary precursor with a
phosphate coating layer on the surface; and next, the high-nickel ternary precursor with the
phosphate coating layer and a
lithium source are subjected to mixing and calcining. In the process of the high-nickel ternary precursor, a layer of compact Li<3>PO<4> is generated on the surface of the
electrode material, and the high-nickel ternary material coated with Li<3>PO<4> on the surface is obtained through a one-step calcining method; compared with an un-coated material, the coated and modified
electrode material can reach about 225mAh.g<-1> in initial cycle
discharge specific capacity and 2.7-4.3V in charging
cut-off
voltage at 1C, 5C or 10C; and compared with the un-coated material, the
discharge specific capacity of the coated and modified
electrode material is improved, so that the rate capability of the high-nickel ternary positive
electrode material is improved.
