The invention provides a method for modifying the surface of a
lithium cobaltate positive
electrode material with a
phosphorus-containing compound and the
lithium cobaltate positive
electrode material, comprising the following steps: step 1, using a layered
lithium cobaltate
powder material as a matrix, and Compounds are ball milled and mixed according to a certain ratio to obtain a mixed
powder material; step 2, heat the mixed
powder material in an
atmosphere protection environment to obtain a modified lithium cobaltate positive
electrode material, the interior of which is lithium cobaltate, and the near surface Including
lithium cobalt oxide lattice and
phosphate root to form a bond, the surface includes an amorphous
coating layer composed of
metal ions and
phosphate groups. The invention adopts
process control and treatment of mixing and heating the
phosphorus-containing compound and lithium cobaltate to modify the surface of lithium cobaltate particles, and utilizes the
doping of
phosphate on the surface lattice to enhance the stability of lithium cobaltate structure ; and effectively protect the electrode
electrolyte interface by containing an amorphous
coating layer, reduce interface side reactions, and improve rate performance and cycle performance.
