The invention relates to a
nickel-
cobalt-aluminum ternary
cathode material with high tap-density and a preparation method of the
nickel-
cobalt-aluminum ternary
cathode material. The method comprises the following steps: adding a
nickel-
cobalt mixed solution, a precipitant solution and a complexing agent solution to a reaction kettle in parallel flow; controlling the pH value, the temperature, the complexing agent concentration and the stirring speed in the reaction kettle, carrying out co-
precipitation reaction and overflow
discharge, washing
slurry until the pH is smaller than 8.0, and carrying out
drying and sieving to obtain spherical nickel-cobalt precursor
powder; and mixing the nickel-cobalt precursor
powder, an aluminum-containing compound, a doped compound and a
lithium salt evenly, presintering the mixture at a low temperature, directly increasing the temperature for heat preservation, naturally cooling the mixture, and crushing an sieving the mixture to obtain the nickel-cobalt-aluminum ternary
cathode material with high tap-density.
Divalent metal ions are doped, so that a layered
crystal structure of the material is stabilized; the content of Ni<3+> is improved; and
shuffling of Li<+> and Ni<2+> ions is reduced. According to the method, continuous
mass production can be achieved. The nickel-cobalt-aluminum ternary
cathode material has the advantages of good rate capability, high
discharge capacity, long cycle lifetime and the like.
