The present invention discloses a method for preparing high-performance ternary
cathode materials by utilizing the
rapid expansion of supercritical fluids, which relates to the field of secondary battery technology and comprises the following steps: placing a
coating material in a reactor, pumping in a
solvent, and adjusting the
temperature and pressure in the reactor so that the
solvent reaches a supercritical state; maintaining the
temperature and pressure in the reactor so that the
coating material reaches a saturated state in the supercritical
solvent to obtain a supercritical solution; heating the supercritical solution and rapidly spraying it into a
reaction chamber through a first
nozzle, while simultaneously rapidly spraying the ternary
cathode material into the
reaction chamber through a second
nozzle under the influence of an
airflow, and causing a collision reaction to obtain a high-performance ternary
cathode material. In the present invention, the supercritical solution rapidly expands and decompresses in a very short time, thereby generating a pressure drop that rapidly reduces the
solubility of the supercritical solvent, causing the
coating material to precipitate out of
supersaturation and collide with the ternary material carried by the
airflow, thereby obtaining a uniformly coated high-performance ternary
cathode material; the method is simple to operate, has a good coating effect, and improves the electrochemical performance of the material.
