The invention relates to a monocrystal-like
lithium battery ternary
cathode material and a preparation method thereof. The
chemical formula of the
cathode material is LiNi(1-x-y-z)CoxMnyMzO2, wherein x is larger than 0 and smaller than or equal to 0.65, y is larger than 0 and smaller than or equal to 0.3, z is larger than or equal to 0 and smaller than or equal to 0.05, and M is one or more of Mg, Ca, Ti, Zn, Cr, Fe, Zr, Co, Cu and Ru. The preparation method of the
cathode material comprises the following steps of 1 precursor synthesizing; 2 material mixing, wherein a fluxing agent is added in the material mixing process; 3
sintering and the like. According to the method, the
melting point of the material is lowered by adding the fluxing agent, therefore, precursors and
lithium salts are in a molten environment, dispersion of
metal ions is accelerated, and
crystal grains start to grow and development at low temperature, break limitation of precursor aggregates after growing to a certain degree to be dispersed into monocrystal grains and finally grow into the
cathode material with the monocrystal morphology; the
sintering frequency and the
sintering time in the existing monocrystal material synthesizing process are decreased, and then the production cost is reduced.
