Problems solved by technology

The disadvantages of the above technologies are: First, the sintering process involves complex physical and chemical changes, such as carbon source pyrolysis, carbothermal reduction, lithium carbonate decomposition, etc., so a slight change in the sintering conditions during the first sintering will lead to the synthesis path. Changes, which in turn affect the physical indicators and electrical properties of the product, resulting in poor consistency of the material prepared by one-time sintering; on the other hand, the sintering process Li 2 CO 3 Decomposition produces large amounts of CO 2 , A large amount of gas is discharged in a short period of time, resulting in an increase in the pores of the product particles, which affects the processing performance and compaction density of the material
The disadvantages of this technology are: 1. The introduction of strong reducing and magnetic metal iron powder in the secondary sintering process has potential safety hazards in transportation and storage, and the magnetic impurities of the synthesized products are easy to exceed the standard; 2. Lithium iron phosphate is not carbonized during the synthesis process. Coating, poor electrical performance
[0014] In addition, the research found (document Feng Yu, Jingjie Zhang, Reaction mechanism and electrochemical performance of LiFePO 4 / C cathode materials synthesized by carbothermal method[J].Electrochimica Acta.2009), in Li 2 CO 3 , Fe(NO 3 ) 3 9H 2 O, NH 4 h 2 PO 4 Synthesis of LiFePO as raw material 4 In the process, the intermediate product Li will be formed 3 Fe 2 (PO 4 ) 3 , the existence of this competitive reaction makes it difficult to control the reaction process when synthesizing lithium iron phosphate materials, the synthesis time is longer (>10h), the batch stability is poor, and the product has impurities, which reduces the electrochemical performance of the material
[0015] In addition, the ferric phosphate or ferrous phosphate raw materials used in the above patents usually contain crystal water. Before using it as a raw material to synthesize lithium iron phosphate, it is necessary to sinter in an air atmosphere to remove water. This is an essential step. The above patents No pre-calcination treatment is used, which is one of the reasons for the poor performance of the prepared positive electrode material
