The invention discloses a method for synthesizing
cathode material LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 for 5V
lithium ion batteries.
Manganese salt,
nickel salt and
lithium compound are used as main material,
oxalic acid is used as precipitator, and aqueous
ammonia is used as complexing agent; the
manganese salt and the
nickel salt are proportionally mixed and then dissolved in water, so that
manganese salt-
nickel salt mixture is produced, and
a moderate amount of
oxalic acid is dissolved in water, so that
oxalic acid solution is produced; the
manganese salt-
nickel salt mixture is first blended and reacts with the aqueous
ammonia to form manganese and nickel
ammonia complex ions, and then is blended and reacts with the oxalic acid solution to form manganese
oxalate containing nickel; the manganese
oxalate containing nickel and the mother solution are directly dried, so that manganese
oxalate powder containing nickel is obtained, and the manganese oxalate
powder containing nickel is then roasted under the temperature of 400 DEG C to 650 DEG C for three to fifteen hours, so that
manganese oxide containing nickel is obtained; and the
manganese oxide containing nickel and the compound of
lithium are uniformly mixed and ground, and are then roasted under the temperature of 700 DEG C to 950 DEG C for eight to thirty hours. The invention has the
advantage of simple technique and easy control, and the synthesized
cathode material LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 has good electrochemical properties.
