Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of a lithium ion cell and provides a method for improving the performance of an anode material LiFePO4 for a lithium ion cell. The method comprises the specific steps of: 1. utilizing a polyhydric alcohol reduction method to prepare a pure-phase LiFePO4 material; 2. uniformly mixing the pure-phase LiFePO4 material and appropriate amount of a carbon precursor in de-ionized water; carrying out drying heat treatment in an air atmosphere at a certain temperature; and 3. carrying out high-temperature heat treatment on powder obtained by the step 2 under an inert atmosphere for a period of time to obtain the nano-grade lithium ion anode material LiFePO4 with uniform flake-shaped appearance, increasing of electron conductivity and improvement of ion diffusion rate. According to the method, the process is simple, and expensive experimental apparatuses are not needed. Intrinsic electronic conductivity and lithium ion diffusion rate of the anode material are improved obviously, so that the electrochemical performance of the anode material is obviously improved.
