Problems solved by technology

These cathode materials have their own disadvantages: LiCoO 2 The price is high, the structure is unstable after the charging voltage exceeds 4.2V, and the safety becomes poor; LiNi 0.8 co 0.2 o 2 The cycle performance of LiNi is not good, the water absorption is strong, and the storage performance is poor; LiNi 0.8 co 0.15 Al 0.05 o 2 Easy to absorb water, poor storage performance; LiNi 1 / 3 co 1 / 3 mn 1 / 3 o 2 The structure of LiMn is unstable, and the high temperature storage performance is not good; LiMn 2 o 4 The capacity is low and the high temperature performance is poor; LiFePO 4 Low electrical conductivity, poor low temperature performance
[0004] Of particular note is the recent adoption of LiMO 2 (M=Co, Al, Sn, Zn), LiMPO 4 Active substances such as (M=Fe, Co) modify the surface of positive electrode materials (such as: [1] Cao Hui, Xia Baojia, Han Xuewu. Surface coating materials and techniques for lithium ion battery positive electrode materials: China, CN1242501[ P].2006-02-15.[2]H.Wang, W.D.Zhang, L.Y.Zhu, M.C.Chen.Effect of LiFePO 4 coating on electrochemical performance of LiCoO 2 at high temperature[J].Solid State Ionics, 2007,178:131-136.[3]H.Lee, M.G.Kim, J.Cho.Olivine LiCoPO 4 phase grown LiCoO 2 cathode material for high density Li batteries [J] Electrochemistry Communications, 2007, 9: 149-154. [4] J.T.Son, E.J.Cairns.Characterization of LiCoO 2 coated Li 1.05 Ni 0.35 co 0.25 mn 0.4 o 2 cathode material for lithium secondary cells[J].Journal of Power Sources, 2007,166:343-347), however, the method used in the coating modification process is still the conventional sol-gel method, solution adsorption method or precipitation These methods are acceptable for the coating modification of inactive substances, but when used for the modification of active substances, there are problems such as that the firing temperature between the substrate and the modified layer cannot be unified, the firing time is too long, and the resulting product Disadvantages such as inability to guarantee consistency
In addition, because the coating modification process must first go through a liquid phase process, the precursor substances in the liquid phase are generally strong acid and weak alkali salts, and the acidity of the solution is relatively high. The active substance will be dissolved to varying degrees, so that the structure of the active substance change, resulting in a reduction in its capacity or deterioration in cycle performance
