The invention discloses a single-
crystal lithium-rich
manganese-based precursor based on in-situ
surface engineering, a preparation method thereof and a positive
electrode material. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly preparing a
nickel-
cobalt-
manganese mixed
salt solution I, a
sodium metaaluminate / aluminum
sulfate solution II, a precipitator containing
sodium hydroxide /
potassium hydroxide and an
oxalic acid complexing agent; under the protection of
nitrogen, the first solution, a precipitator and a complexing agent are introduced into the base solution to complete first-stage
coprecipitation, the second solution is synchronously introduced for second-stage reaction after the first-stage
coprecipitation reaches the standard, and a product is subjected to
solid-liquid separation, washing and
drying to obtain a precursor; the two-stage
coprecipitation process is simple and controllable, the problem that aluminum
doping is not uniform in a traditional
solid phase method is solved, and the method is suitable for industrial production;
surface layer in-situ aluminum
doping and
spinel phase construction improve the
structural stability of the material, inhibit interface
side reaction, and give consideration to both high capacity and long cycle performance; the problem of
lattice mismatch of an ex-situ
coating is avoided, the compatibility of an
electrode and an
electrolyte is enhanced, the
energy density and the service life of a battery are improved, and commercial application of the material in the field of
new energy automobiles is promoted.
