Problems solved by technology

[0007] First, solid state reaction synthesis of LiNi 0.5 mn 1.5 o 4 Lithium-ion battery positive electrode materials have poor uniformity, and the consistency of the synthesized materials is not good. Severe limitations (usually only oxides, hydroxides, nitrates, acetates, etc. that are easily decomposed and do not produce impurities), and the synthesis cost is relatively high. Although large-scale production can be achieved, it is difficult to achieve widespread Applications

[0008] Second, the synthesis of LiNi by microemulsion method 0.5 mn 1.5 o 4 Anode materials such as lithium-ion batteries use a large amount of organic solvents and a large amount of organic surfactants, which have a certain impact on the environment; the formation of microemulsions requires harsh conditions, the synthesis process steps are numerous, and the cost of material manufacturing is high. Limited by the method itself, it is difficult to achieve large-scale and efficient production

[0009] Third, hydrothermal or hydrothermal LiNi 0.5 mn 1.5 o 4 Although there are no shortcomings or defects such as uneven reaction, long reaction time, serious pollution, and high cost of solid-state reaction synthesis technology and microemulsion synthesis technology, etc., the positive electrode materials of lithium-ion batteries also have high energy consumption and strict control of process conditions. , high technical requirements for equipment, and the reaction is carried out in a solution state. Due to the limitation of the concentration, the amount of synthetic products is very limited. If the concentration of the solution is greatly increased or the volume of the reactor is increased, the technical difficulty of synthesis and the product quality will be greatly increased. Performance as LiNi 0.5 mn 1.5 o 4 Uncertainty in the structure, morphology, particle size and electrochemical performance of etc. is also greatly increased.
