The invention discloses a preparation method of a modified
lithium ferrite positive
electrode material. The method comprises the following steps: step 1, mixing LiOH.H2O, Fe (NO3)3.9 H2O and Mn(CH3COOH) 2.4H2O as raw materials, and
drying the mixture in an environment of 100 DEG C for 8 hours to obtain a mixture A, wherein the
molar ratio of Li to Fe to Mn in the raw materials of LiOH.H2O, Fe (NO3)3.9H2O and Mn(CH3COOH)2.4H2O is 5: 0.95: 0.05-5: 0.85: 0.15; 2,
grinding the mixture A, and
roasting the ground mixture A in an environment with the temperature of 450-490 DEG C for 8-12 hours to obtain a mixture B containing Li5FeO4; and 3, oxidizing and
roasting the mixture B in an environment of 700-800 DEG C for 24 hours, standing at
room temperature, cooling,
grinding and sieving to obtain the Li5Fe1-xMnxO4 positive
electrode material, wherein x is any one of 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15. According to the invention, the Li5FeO4 is doped with
manganese metal according to a new
lithium-iron-
manganese ratio, so that the
crystal form of the Li5FeO4 is more complete and orderly, and the resistance of charge transfer of the positive
electrode material is reduced; and meanwhile, the electrode polarization effect of the
lithium battery prepared from the positive
electrode material under
high current is reduced, so that the specific capacity of a battery is improved.
