Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method of a high-capacity lithium titanate material, mainly aiming at solving the problem that a lithium titanate material in existing technology production at present has a small capacity. The specific method comprises the following steps: carrying out ball milling on a lithium source, a titanium source, a fluxing agent and a dispersant according to a certain ratio and mixing materials; after drying, carrying out low-temperature pre-sintering; after cooling, carrying out high-temperature calcining to generate lithium titanate. The preparation method provided by the invention has the characteristics that the fluxing agent is added in a material mixing process; in a high-temperature sintering process, particles can be in more compact contact and the interfacial tension among the particles is reduced; the growth and development of crystals are better so that the volume density of the material is improved. The method has a simple process flow; the raw materials are easy to obtain; prepared lithium titanate has a large particle size and a high capacity and has good electrochemical performance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of preparation of energy materials, in particular to a preparation method of lithium titanate, a negative electrode material of a lithium ion battery. Background technique [0002] Due to the advantages of high energy density, long cycle life, and no memory effect, lithium-ion batteries have always been a hot spot in the research and development of batteries. They have been applied in portable appliances, electric vehicles, energy storage and other fields and have good application prospects. At present, commercial lithium-ion battery anode materials generally use carbon anode materials, but because the redox potential of carbon anode materials is very close to the electrode potential of lithium, lithium ions are easily precipitated on the surface of carbon anodes to form lithium dendrites when the battery is overcharged. It may cause a short circuit of the battery and cause safety problems, and the carbon material wil...
