Abstract

The present invention provides process of synthesizing spherical or spheriodal lithium phosphate. The compounds of lithium ion, transition metal ion and phosphate radical ion are mixed, ground and pyrolyzed in inert atmosphere to obtain the intermediate product; the intermediate product is mixed with certain amount of melting alkali salt and sintered at high temperature to obtain initial product; and the initial product is washed, filtered and dried to obtain spherical or spheriodal lithium phosphate grains of diameter 1-5 microns, with the grain size being controllable by means of the synthesis conditions. The process has short sintering time, low power consumption, and the spherical or spheriodal lithium phosphate product has small specific surface area, excellent processing performance, great tap density, high energy density and high safety, and may be used widely in power battery for electrically driven tool, electric bicycle, etc.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of lithium ion batteries, in particular to a method for preparing a spherical lithium metal phosphate electrode material. technical background [0002] As a new cathode material for lithium-ion batteries, LiMPO 4 Homologs especially LiFePO 4 It has received extensive attention and in-depth research (A.K.Padhi, K.S.Nanjundaswarmy, J.B.Goodenough, J.Electrochem.Soc.144(1997)1184). LiFePO 4 With a theoretical capacity of 170mAh / g, the actual capacity can exceed 160mAh / g, which is higher than commercial LiCoO 2 To be higher, the discharge platform is about 3.4V, than LiCoO 2 slightly lower. However, it has a wide range of sources of raw materials, low cost, high safety, and environmental friendliness, and is especially suitable for batteries for various high-power electrical appliances and power batteries for automobiles. The disadvantage is that the electronic conductivity is relatively low (~10 -8 S / cm), the larg...
