Problems solved by technology

[0004] Ternary cathode materials also have some disadvantages, such as high cycle performance of the material and high voltage LiCoO 2 Poor, the capacity decays faster under high voltage, so it is necessary to do doping modification or surface coating modification on the material, and the surface coating modification is one of the effective ways to improve the cycle performance of the material
The morphology of the ternary cathode materials currently on the market is mostly a secondary spherical morphology formed by the agglomeration of many primary particles. The secondary ball is broken, and the new material interface is exposed, so that the expected coating effect cannot be achieved

Abstract

The invention relates to a monocrystal-like lithium battery ternary cathode material and a preparation method thereof. The chemical formula of the cathode material is LiNi(1-x-y-z)CoxMnyMzO2, wherein x is larger than 0 and smaller than or equal to 0.65, y is larger than 0 and smaller than or equal to 0.3, z is larger than or equal to 0 and smaller than or equal to 0.05, and M is one or more of Mg, Ca, Ti, Zn, Cr, Fe, Zr, Co, Cu and Ru. The preparation method of the cathode material comprises the following steps of 1 precursor synthesizing; 2 material mixing, wherein a fluxing agent is added in the material mixing process; 3 sintering and the like. According to the method, the melting point of the material is lowered by adding the fluxing agent, therefore, precursors and lithium salts are in a molten environment, dispersion of metal ions is accelerated, and crystal grains start to grow and development at low temperature, break limitation of precursor aggregates after growing to a certain degree to be dispersed into monocrystal grains and finally grow into the cathode material with the monocrystal morphology; the sintering frequency and the sintering time in the existing monocrystal material synthesizing process are decreased, and then the production cost is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a ternary cathode material for a single-crystal lithium battery and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the field of lithium-ion batteries. Background technique [0002] Lithium-ion batteries have the advantages of high voltage, high specific energy, long charge and discharge life, no memory effect, less environmental pollution, and low self-discharge rate, and their application range is constantly expanding. Lithium-ion battery cathode material is one of the core materials of lithium-ion batteries, which accounts for about 30% of the total battery cost and directly affects the cost of the battery. In addition, the development of positive electrode materials lags behind that of negative electrode materials, and positive electrode materials become the key materials that limit battery capacity. Therefore, safe, inexpensive, high-performance and high-capacity positive electrode materials have always been one of the priorit...
