Problems solved by technology

Nano-lithium iron phosphate is an important way to improve the diffusion rate of lithium ions, but there are still many problems to be studied in the preparation method of nano-lithium iron phosphate electrode materials mentioned above: (1) How to improve the lithium iron phosphate battery Tap density; (2) How to choose a suitable preparation method to improve the crystallization degree of the electrode under the premise of ensuring the nanometer particle size of the lithium iron phosphate material, so as to obtain a stable working voltage of the battery; (3) Lithium iron phosphate nanomaterials in The problem of irreversible capacity loss caused by severe agglomeration during charging and discharging; (4) How to ensure the quality stability of different production batches

In addition, the above-mentioned preparation method of nano-lithium ferrous phosphate is difficult to industrialize, the process operation steps are complicated, and the cost is high. The chemical raw materials such as organic solvents used in the process are likely to pollute the environment, and the environmental protection of the process needs to be further improved. improve
