Moreover, with the promotion of sustainable development and environmental protection concepts, electric vehicle technologies have received considerable attention because electric vehicles can solve the problems of air pollution and oil shortage. Since the electric vehicles use rechargeable batteries as the power sources, it is an important issue to increase the electric properties and the cycle lives of the batteries.

Since the electric vehicles use rechargeable batteries as the power sources, it is an important issue to increase the electric properties and the cycle lives of the batteries.
[0004]
Moreover, among the conventional batteries, the lithium-ion batteries are more potential for development because lithium-ion batteries have high volumetric capacitance, rechargeable features, good charge/discharge cycle characteristics and other appropriate properties. Moreover, the lithium iron phosphate-based compound (LiFePO4, also abbreviated to LFP) is more popular.
The battery with the lithium iron phosphate-based compound as the cathode material has many benefits such as a larger current, a longer recycle life, an anti-oxidation property and an anti-acidic effect. Moreover, since the lithium iron phosphate-based compound does not release oxygen gas during the charge/discharge process, the battery has no explosion risk. Consequently, the lithium iron phosphate-based compound is considered to be the potential cathode material of the lithium-ion battery.
100051 However, the conventional method of preparing the lithium iron phosphate compound has some drawbacks. For example, during the thermal treatment process, the particles of the lithium iron phosphate compound are readily suffered from aggregation. Under this circumstance, the particle size of the lithium iron phosphate powder is increased and the electric properties of the battery are deteriorated.
100061 Therefore, there is a need of providing an improved preparation method of a battery cathode material with enhanced electric properties in order to overcome the above drawbacks.

100081 Another object of the present invention provides a preparation method of a battery composite material. By diffusing a manganese source into an iron source, the manganese source surrounds and covers the iron source to facilitate the reaction. Moreover, since the product powder is not subjected to aggregation during the thermal treatment process, the electric property of the battery is enhanced.
[0009] Another object of the present invention provides a preparation method of a battery composite material.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
100221 The present invention will now be described more specifically with reference to the following embodiments. It is to be noted that the following descriptions of preferred embodiments of this invention are presented herein for purpose of illustration and description only. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to be limited to the precise form disclosed.
[0022.1] FIG 1 provides the steps of: providing an iron compound, phosphoric acid, a manganese compound, a lithium compound and a carbon source (S100);
adding the phosphoric acid to a mixture of the iron compound and deionized water while stirring to form a first phosphate solution, adding the manganese compound to the first phosphate solution, and allowing the manganese compound and the first phosphate solution to continuously react for a first time period, so that a first product solution is formed (S200); carrying out a reaction between the first product solution, the carbon source and the lithium compound so as to form a precursor (S300); and thermally treating the precursor to form a battery composite material (S400).
[0022.2] FIG 2 provides the steps of adding the lithium compound, the carbon source and a dispersing agent to the first product solution, so that a second product solution is formed (S301); milling the second product solution to form a precursor solution (S302); and drying the precursor solution to form the precursor (S302).
[0023] FIG. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a preparation method of a battery composite material according to an embodiment of the present invention. The preparation method of the battery composite material comprises the following steps.
Firstly, in a step S100, an iron compound, phosphoric acid (H3PO4), a manganese compound and a lithium compound are provided. An example of the manganese compound includes but is not limited to manganese carbonate (MnCO3), manganese oxide (MnO), a manganese-containing compound or any other compound that releases manganese ions in an aqueous solution of the phosphoric acid. Manganese carbonate is preferred. An example of the lithium compound includes but is not limited to lithium hydroxide (Li0H), lithium carbonate (Li2CO3), a lithium-containing compound or any other compound that releases lithium ions in an aqueous solution of phosphoric acid.
Lithium hydroxide is preferred.
[0024] An example of the iron compound includes but is not limited to Fe7(PO4)6. FePO4 = 2H20, LiFePO4, Fe203, FeC204=2H20, FeC6H507, any other iron-containing compound or a combination thereof. Among these iron sources, Fe7(PO4)6, FePO4 = 2H20 and LiFePO4 are preferred.
[0025] In a step S200, the iron compound and deionized water are mixed and stirred, so that the iron compound is initially dispersed in the deionized water. Then, phosphoric acid (85 wt%) is added while stirring, so that the iron compound is uniformly dispersed to form a first phosphate solution. Then, the manganese compound is added to the first phosphate solution. The manganese compound and the first phosphate solution are continuously reacted for a first time period, so that a first product solution is formed. In other words, the iron compound is used as an iron source, and the phosphoric acid is used to increase the dispersion of the iron compound in the deionized water so as to facilitate the subsequent reaction. In this embodiment, the first product solution is a solution containing the iron compound, manganese ions and phosphate ions.
[0026] In this embodiment, the phosphate ions in the first phosphate solution can increase dissociation of the manganese compound, and thus the manganese ions in the first product solution can be uniformly dispersed. In an embodiment, the manganese compound and the first phosphate solution are continuously reacted for at least 24 hours (i.e., the first time period), preferably 24 hours but not limited thereto.
Moreover, the first time period can be adjusted according to the concentration of the phosphate ions.
[0027] Then, in a step S300, the reaction between the first product solution, the carbon source and the lithium compound is carried out to form a precursor. An example of the carbon source includes but is not limited to carbohydrate, an organic compound, a polymeric material or a macromolecule material. For example, the carbohydrate is fructose or lactose.
[0028] In a step S400, the precursor is thermally treated to form a battery composite material. The battery composite material produced by the preparation method of the present invention has a chemical formula: LiFe,Mni,PO4, where x is larger than 0 and represents a ratio of iron to manganese. In the chemical formula, x is in the range between 0.1 and 0.9, and preferably 0.27.
[0029] In an embodiment, the step S300 further comprises a step of carrying out a reaction between a transition metal oxide, the first product solution, the carbon source and the lithium compound. Consequently, in the step S400, the battery composite material LiFe,Mni,PO4 containing metal oxide or a nano-metal oxide cocrytallized lithium iron manganese phosphate (LFMP-NCO) with a chemical formula LiFeõMni_ ,PO4 = zM is produced, wherein z is larger than or equal to 1, and M is the transition metal oxide. An example of the transition metal oxide includes but is not limited to vanadium pentoxide (V205).
[0030] FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating the detailed procedures of the step S300 of the preparation method as shown in FIG. I. After the reaction between the iron source and the manganese source is completely carried out for 24 hours, the lithium compound, the carbon source and a dispersing agent are added to the first product solution, so that a second product solution is formed (Step S301). For example, the dispersing agent is a non-ionic surfactant such as Triton X-100. Then, in a step S302, the second product solution is milled to form a precursor solution. In this embodiment, the milling process is carried out for 1 hour by using a ball mill at a milling speed of 450 rpm ¨ 600 rpm, but not limited thereto.
[0031] Please refer to FIG. 2 again. In the step S303, the precursor solution is dried to remove excess water, so that an initially dried precursor is formed.
Then, the initially dried precursor is placed in a ceramic crucible and exposed to a protective atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon gas). Under the protective atmosphere, the precursor is heated to a first temperature (e.g., 800 C), and continuously sintered for a second time period (e.g., at least 7 hours but not limited thereto).
Consequently, the precursor is thermally treated. After the precursor is sintered, the product powder of the battery composite material of the present invention is produced. The battery composite material is lithium iron manganese phosphate having the chemical formula LiFeõMni_ ,PO4. In this thermal treatment process, the manganese source contained in the precursor will diffuse into the iron source. Consequently, the manganese source surrounds and covers the iron source in partial substitution. Since the product powder is not subjected to aggregation during the thermal treatment process, the electric performance of the battery is enhanced. Moreover, the particle size of the product powder formed by the preparation method of the present invention is similar to the particle size of the iron compound raw material. In other words, since the electric properties of the battery are enhanced, the product stability is increased.
[0032] Moreover, in the step S400, the ratio of iron to manganese in the battery composite material is determined by adjusting the fractions of the iron compound, the phosphoric acid, the manganese compound and the lithium compound. In other words, the battery composite material with ideal electric properties can be produced according to the practical requirements.
[0033] The preparation process of the battery composite material will be illustrated in the following examples.
Example 1:
[0034]
Firstly, 103 grams of Fe7(PO4)6 and 2 liters of deionized water were mixed and thoroughly stirred. Then, 264.4 grams of phosphoric acid (H3PO4, 85 wt%) was added to the mixture. Alternatively, the concentration of the phosphoric acid may be higher than 85 wt%. After the mixture was uniformly stirred, manganese carbonate (MnCO3) was added to the mixture and reacted with the mixture to form a first product solution. After the first product solution was continuously stirred for 24 hours and sufficiently reacted, 132.1 grams of lithium hydroxide (Li0H), 54 grams of fructose and 0.06 gram of Triton X-100 were added to the first product solution. Consequently, a second product solution was formed. Alternatively, the fructose may be replaced by the mixture of 12 wt%
of lactose and 88 wt% of fructose. Then, the second product solution is continuously milled for 1 hour with a ball mill (milling speed: 450 rpm-650 rpm).
Consequently, a precursor solution of lithium iron manganese phosphate (LiFexMn1,PO4) was formed. Then, the precursor solution was dried to form an initially dried precursor. Then, the initially dried precursor was placed in a ceramic crucible and exposed to a protective atmosphere. Under the protective atmosphere, the precursor was sintered at a temperature higher than 800 C for at least 7 hours. Consequently, a product powder was formed.
Example 2:
100351 In this example, Fe7(PO4)6 used in Example 1 was replaced with LiFePO4, and the fractions of the reactants were correspondingly adjusted.
Firstly, 118.32 grams of LiFePO4 and 2 liters of deionized water were mixed and thoroughly stirred. Then, 264.4 grams of phosphoric acid (H3PO4, 85 wt%) was added to the mixture. Alternatively, the concentration of the phosphoric acid may be higher than 85 wt%. After the mixture was uniformly stirred, manganese carbonate (MnCO3) was added to the mixture and reacted with the mixture to form a first product solution. After the first product solution was continuously stirred for 24 hours and sufficiently reacted, 132.1 grams of lithium hydroxide (Li0H), 54 grams of fructose and 0.06 gram of Triton X-100 were added to the first product solution. Consequently, a second product solution was formed. Alternatively, the fructose may be replaced by the mixture of 12 wt% of lactose and 88 wt% of fructose. Then, the second product solution is continuously milled for 1 hour with a ball mill (milling speed: 450 rpm--650 rpm). Consequently, a precursor solution of lithium iron manganese phosphate (LiFe,Mni,PO4) was formed.
Then, the precursor solution was dried to form an initially dried precursor.
Then, the initially dried precursor was placed in a ceramic crucible and exposed to a protective atmosphere. Under the protective atmosphere, the precursor was sintered at a temperature higher than 800 C for at least 7 hours.
Consequently, a product powder was formed.
[0036] The product powders prepared in Example 1 and Example 2 were analyzed by an X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and compared with the data of ICDD
(International Center for Diffraction Data). The XRD results are shown in FIGS.
3 and 4. Moreover, the surface topographies of the product powders prepared in Example 1 and Example 2 are shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. Please refer to the XRD
results of FIGS. 3 and 4. After the data of the product powders that were prepared in Example 1 and Example 2 and measured by the X-ray diffractometer were compared with the data of LiFe03Mn0.7PO4 from ICDD, the Raman shifts indicated that both of the chemical formulae were LiFe0.27Mn0.73PO4.
[0037] As shown in FIG 5, the average particle size of the product powder prepared in Example 1 is smaller than 100 nanometers, and the average particle size of the reactant Fe7(PO4)6 is also smaller than 100 nanometers. As shown in FIG 6, the particle size of the product powder prepared in Example 2 is in the range between 100 nanometers and 300 nanometers, and the particle size of the reactant LiFePO4 is also in the range between 100 nanometers and 300 nanometers.
In other words, the particle size of the iron source is substantially equal to the particle size of the product powder. The particle size of the product powder is not increased because the aggregation problem is effectively avoided.
Consequently, the electric performance of the battery is enhanced.
100381 The product powders prepared in Example 1 and Example 2 were coated on aluminum substrates in order to assemble coin-type cells. Then, a charge/discharge tester was used to test the electric properties of the coin-type cells at 0.1C for 2 charge/discharge cycles and at 2C for 2 charge/discharge cycles.
The test results are shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. When the product powders prepared in Example 1 and Example 2 were used as the battery cathode materials, the charge/discharge behaviors were more stable and the battery capacities were higher.
Consequently, the preparation method of the battery composite material according to the present invention can increase the electric properties of the battery.
[0039] From the above descriptions, the present invention provides a preparation method of a battery composite material. By diffusing the manganese source into the iron source, the product powder is not subjected to aggregation during the thermal treatment process. Consequently, the electric property and the stability of the battery are enhanced. Moreover, by selecting the particle size of the iron source and the ratio of iron to manganese, the battery composite material with ideal electric properties can be prepared according to the practical requirements.
[0040] While the invention has been described in terms of what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention needs not be limited to the disclosed embodiment.
On the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims which are to be accorded with the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar structures.
Moreover, among the conventional batteries, the lithium-ion batteries are more potential for development because lithium-ion batteries have high volumetric capacitance, rechargeable features, good charge/discharge cycle characteristics and other appropriate properties. Moreover, the lithium iron phosphate-based compound (LiFePO4, also abbreviated to LFP) is more popular.
The battery with the lithium iron phosphate-based compound as the cathode material has many benefits such as a larger current, a longer recycle life, an anti-oxidation property and an anti-acidic effect. Moreover, since the lithium iron phosphate-based compound does not release oxygen gas during the charge/discharge process, the battery has no explosion risk. Consequently, the lithium iron phosphate-based compound is considered to be the potential cathode material of the lithium-ion battery.
100051 However, the conventional method of preparing the lithium iron phosphate compound has some drawbacks. For example, during the thermal treatment process, the particles of the lithium iron phosphate compound are readily suffered from aggregation. Under this circumstance, the particle size of the lithium iron phosphate powder is increased and the electric properties of the battery are deteriorated.
100061 Therefore, there is a need of providing an improved preparation method of a battery cathode material with enhanced electric properties in order to overcome the above drawbacks.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
100221 The present invention will now be described more specifically with reference to the following embodiments. It is to be noted that the following descriptions of preferred embodiments of this invention are presented herein for purpose of illustration and description only. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to be limited to the precise form disclosed.
[0022.1] FIG 1 provides the steps of: providing an iron compound, phosphoric acid, a manganese compound, a lithium compound and a carbon source (S100);
adding the phosphoric acid to a mixture of the iron compound and deionized water while stirring to form a first phosphate solution, adding the manganese compound to the first phosphate solution, and allowing the manganese compound and the first phosphate solution to continuously react for a first time period, so that a first product solution is formed (S200); carrying out a reaction between the first product solution, the carbon source and the lithium compound so as to form a precursor (S300); and thermally treating the precursor to form a battery composite material (S400).
[0022.2] FIG 2 provides the steps of adding the lithium compound, the carbon source and a dispersing agent to the first product solution, so that a second product solution is formed (S301); milling the second product solution to form a precursor solution (S302); and drying the precursor solution to form the precursor (S302).
[0023] FIG. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a preparation method of a battery composite material according to an embodiment of the present invention. The preparation method of the battery composite material comprises the following steps.
Firstly, in a step S100, an iron compound, phosphoric acid (H3PO4), a manganese compound and a lithium compound are provided. An example of the manganese compound includes but is not limited to manganese carbonate (MnCO3), manganese oxide (MnO), a manganese-containing compound or any other compound that releases manganese ions in an aqueous solution of the phosphoric acid. Manganese carbonate is preferred. An example of the lithium compound includes but is not limited to lithium hydroxide (Li0H), lithium carbonate (Li2CO3), a lithium-containing compound or any other compound that releases lithium ions in an aqueous solution of phosphoric acid.
Lithium hydroxide is preferred.
[0024] An example of the iron compound includes but is not limited to Fe7(PO4)6. FePO4 = 2H20, LiFePO4, Fe203, FeC204=2H20, FeC6H507, any other iron-containing compound or a combination thereof. Among these iron sources, Fe7(PO4)6, FePO4 = 2H20 and LiFePO4 are preferred.
[0025] In a step S200, the iron compound and deionized water are mixed and stirred, so that the iron compound is initially dispersed in the deionized water. Then, phosphoric acid (85 wt%) is added while stirring, so that the iron compound is uniformly dispersed to form a first phosphate solution. Then, the manganese compound is added to the first phosphate solution. The manganese compound and the first phosphate solution are continuously reacted for a first time period, so that a first product solution is formed. In other words, the iron compound is used as an iron source, and the phosphoric acid is used to increase the dispersion of the iron compound in the deionized water so as to facilitate the subsequent reaction. In this embodiment, the first product solution is a solution containing the iron compound, manganese ions and phosphate ions.
[0026] In this embodiment, the phosphate ions in the first phosphate solution can increase dissociation of the manganese compound, and thus the manganese ions in the first product solution can be uniformly dispersed. In an embodiment, the manganese compound and the first phosphate solution are continuously reacted for at least 24 hours (i.e., the first time period), preferably 24 hours but not limited thereto.
Moreover, the first time period can be adjusted according to the concentration of the phosphate ions.
[0027] Then, in a step S300, the reaction between the first product solution, the carbon source and the lithium compound is carried out to form a precursor. An example of the carbon source includes but is not limited to carbohydrate, an organic compound, a polymeric material or a macromolecule material. For example, the carbohydrate is fructose or lactose.
[0028] In a step S400, the precursor is thermally treated to form a battery composite material. The battery composite material produced by the preparation method of the present invention has a chemical formula: LiFe,Mni,PO4, where x is larger than 0 and represents a ratio of iron to manganese. In the chemical formula, x is in the range between 0.1 and 0.9, and preferably 0.27.
[0029] In an embodiment, the step S300 further comprises a step of carrying out a reaction between a transition metal oxide, the first product solution, the carbon source and the lithium compound. Consequently, in the step S400, the battery composite material LiFe,Mni,PO4 containing metal oxide or a nano-metal oxide cocrytallized lithium iron manganese phosphate (LFMP-NCO) with a chemical formula LiFeõMni_ ,PO4 = zM is produced, wherein z is larger than or equal to 1, and M is the transition metal oxide. An example of the transition metal oxide includes but is not limited to vanadium pentoxide (V205).
[0030] FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating the detailed procedures of the step S300 of the preparation method as shown in FIG. I. After the reaction between the iron source and the manganese source is completely carried out for 24 hours, the lithium compound, the carbon source and a dispersing agent are added to the first product solution, so that a second product solution is formed (Step S301). For example, the dispersing agent is a non-ionic surfactant such as Triton X-100. Then, in a step S302, the second product solution is milled to form a precursor solution. In this embodiment, the milling process is carried out for 1 hour by using a ball mill at a milling speed of 450 rpm ¨ 600 rpm, but not limited thereto.
[0031] Please refer to FIG. 2 again. In the step S303, the precursor solution is dried to remove excess water, so that an initially dried precursor is formed.
Then, the initially dried precursor is placed in a ceramic crucible and exposed to a protective atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon gas). Under the protective atmosphere, the precursor is heated to a first temperature (e.g., 800 C), and continuously sintered for a second time period (e.g., at least 7 hours but not limited thereto).
Consequently, the precursor is thermally treated. After the precursor is sintered, the product powder of the battery composite material of the present invention is produced. The battery composite material is lithium iron manganese phosphate having the chemical formula LiFeõMni_ ,PO4. In this thermal treatment process, the manganese source contained in the precursor will diffuse into the iron source. Consequently, the manganese source surrounds and covers the iron source in partial substitution. Since the product powder is not subjected to aggregation during the thermal treatment process, the electric performance of the battery is enhanced. Moreover, the particle size of the product powder formed by the preparation method of the present invention is similar to the particle size of the iron compound raw material. In other words, since the electric properties of the battery are enhanced, the product stability is increased.
[0032] Moreover, in the step S400, the ratio of iron to manganese in the battery composite material is determined by adjusting the fractions of the iron compound, the phosphoric acid, the manganese compound and the lithium compound. In other words, the battery composite material with ideal electric properties can be produced according to the practical requirements.
[0033] The preparation process of the battery composite material will be illustrated in the following examples.
Example 1:
[0034]
Firstly, 103 grams of Fe7(PO4)6 and 2 liters of deionized water were mixed and thoroughly stirred. Then, 264.4 grams of phosphoric acid (H3PO4, 85 wt%) was added to the mixture. Alternatively, the concentration of the phosphoric acid may be higher than 85 wt%. After the mixture was uniformly stirred, manganese carbonate (MnCO3) was added to the mixture and reacted with the mixture to form a first product solution. After the first product solution was continuously stirred for 24 hours and sufficiently reacted, 132.1 grams of lithium hydroxide (Li0H), 54 grams of fructose and 0.06 gram of Triton X-100 were added to the first product solution. Consequently, a second product solution was formed. Alternatively, the fructose may be replaced by the mixture of 12 wt%
of lactose and 88 wt% of fructose. Then, the second product solution is continuously milled for 1 hour with a ball mill (milling speed: 450 rpm-650 rpm).
Consequently, a precursor solution of lithium iron manganese phosphate (LiFexMn1,PO4) was formed. Then, the precursor solution was dried to form an initially dried precursor. Then, the initially dried precursor was placed in a ceramic crucible and exposed to a protective atmosphere. Under the protective atmosphere, the precursor was sintered at a temperature higher than 800 C for at least 7 hours. Consequently, a product powder was formed.
Example 2:
100351 In this example, Fe7(PO4)6 used in Example 1 was replaced with LiFePO4, and the fractions of the reactants were correspondingly adjusted.
Firstly, 118.32 grams of LiFePO4 and 2 liters of deionized water were mixed and thoroughly stirred. Then, 264.4 grams of phosphoric acid (H3PO4, 85 wt%) was added to the mixture. Alternatively, the concentration of the phosphoric acid may be higher than 85 wt%. After the mixture was uniformly stirred, manganese carbonate (MnCO3) was added to the mixture and reacted with the mixture to form a first product solution. After the first product solution was continuously stirred for 24 hours and sufficiently reacted, 132.1 grams of lithium hydroxide (Li0H), 54 grams of fructose and 0.06 gram of Triton X-100 were added to the first product solution. Consequently, a second product solution was formed. Alternatively, the fructose may be replaced by the mixture of 12 wt% of lactose and 88 wt% of fructose. Then, the second product solution is continuously milled for 1 hour with a ball mill (milling speed: 450 rpm--650 rpm). Consequently, a precursor solution of lithium iron manganese phosphate (LiFe,Mni,PO4) was formed.
Then, the precursor solution was dried to form an initially dried precursor.
Then, the initially dried precursor was placed in a ceramic crucible and exposed to a protective atmosphere. Under the protective atmosphere, the precursor was sintered at a temperature higher than 800 C for at least 7 hours.
Consequently, a product powder was formed.
[0036] The product powders prepared in Example 1 and Example 2 were analyzed by an X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and compared with the data of ICDD
(International Center for Diffraction Data). The XRD results are shown in FIGS.
3 and 4. Moreover, the surface topographies of the product powders prepared in Example 1 and Example 2 are shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. Please refer to the XRD
results of FIGS. 3 and 4. After the data of the product powders that were prepared in Example 1 and Example 2 and measured by the X-ray diffractometer were compared with the data of LiFe03Mn0.7PO4 from ICDD, the Raman shifts indicated that both of the chemical formulae were LiFe0.27Mn0.73PO4.
[0037] As shown in FIG 5, the average particle size of the product powder prepared in Example 1 is smaller than 100 nanometers, and the average particle size of the reactant Fe7(PO4)6 is also smaller than 100 nanometers. As shown in FIG 6, the particle size of the product powder prepared in Example 2 is in the range between 100 nanometers and 300 nanometers, and the particle size of the reactant LiFePO4 is also in the range between 100 nanometers and 300 nanometers.
In other words, the particle size of the iron source is substantially equal to the particle size of the product powder. The particle size of the product powder is not increased because the aggregation problem is effectively avoided.
Consequently, the electric performance of the battery is enhanced.
100381 The product powders prepared in Example 1 and Example 2 were coated on aluminum substrates in order to assemble coin-type cells. Then, a charge/discharge tester was used to test the electric properties of the coin-type cells at 0.1C for 2 charge/discharge cycles and at 2C for 2 charge/discharge cycles.
The test results are shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. When the product powders prepared in Example 1 and Example 2 were used as the battery cathode materials, the charge/discharge behaviors were more stable and the battery capacities were higher.
Consequently, the preparation method of the battery composite material according to the present invention can increase the electric properties of the battery.
[0039] From the above descriptions, the present invention provides a preparation method of a battery composite material. By diffusing the manganese source into the iron source, the product powder is not subjected to aggregation during the thermal treatment process. Consequently, the electric property and the stability of the battery are enhanced. Moreover, by selecting the particle size of the iron source and the ratio of iron to manganese, the battery composite material with ideal electric properties can be prepared according to the practical requirements.
[0040] While the invention has been described in terms of what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention needs not be limited to the disclosed embodiment.
On the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims which are to be accorded with the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar structures.
