Background technology
The energy and environment problem is serious day by day, and the exploitation of clean energy resource is extremely urgent with use, and the development electric motor car is the inexorable trend of future development.The large-scale application of green energy resources such as wind energy, solar energy, geothermal energy is had higher requirement to energy storage device, particularly to useful life of energy-storage battery.
Various electronic equipments and electric automobile, hybrid vehicle fast development have proposed harsh more requirement, particularly its power-performance to the lithium ion battery that energy is provided for it.Present widely used carbon negative pole material makes that the battery system fail safe is relatively poor because hypopotenia is easy to electrolyte and reacts; In addition, the carbon negative pole material power-performance is relatively poor, can not solve its fast charging and discharging problem, therefore can not satisfy the instructions for use of electric motor car.
The major obstacle that lithium-ion-power cell is applied to electric automobile is fail safe, energy density, power density and the high power charge-discharge performance of battery, and the key factor that restricts above-mentioned performance is the employed electrode material of battery.The lithium-ion-power cell of being studied at present is a positive electrode with LiFePO4, nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary material, LiMn2O4 usually; Material with carbon element is a negative material; Though the security performance of above-mentioned three kinds of positive electrodes itself is better, embedding lithium carbon negative pole material when the battery abnormal condition is used can with electrolyte generation vigorous reaction, emit a large amount of heat and imflammable gas; Cause battery failure, even blast.Use material with carbon element never effectively to be solved as the safety issue of the large-capacity high-power type lithium-ion-power cell of negative pole; Seriously restricted its application on electric automobile; So how to solve the fundamental issue that the safety issue of lithium-ion-power cell has become its industrialized development of puzzlement, also be the key issue that hinders electric vehicle industrialization.
Solving the security of lithium-ion-power cell key of problem is with safer, littler with the electrolyte reactivity alternative carbon negative pole material of negative material.Lithium titanate (Li
