In order to make the objects, technical solutions and effects of the present invention clearer and clearer, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
In the embodiments and claims, the terms "a" and "an" can mean "one or more" unless the article is specifically limited.
In addition, if there is a description of "first", "second", etc. in an embodiment of the present invention, the description of "first", "second", etc. is for descriptive purposes only and is not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In addition, technical solutions between various embodiments may be combined with each other, but must be realized by a person skilled in the art, and when the technical solutions are contradictory or cannot be realized, such a combination should not be considered to exist, and is not within the protection scope of the present invention.

The positive electrode materials which are successfully researched and applied at present mainly comprise lithium cobaltate, lithium iron phosphate, lithium manganate, ternary materials of lithium Nickel Cobalt Manganese (NCM), lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminate (NCA) and the like. The ternary positive electrode material can be divided into different grades such as 111, 523, 622, 811 and the like according to the mole fraction ratio of each metal. With the increase of the nickel content, the specific capacity of the ternary cathode material is gradually increased, but the cycle performance and the safety performance are correspondingly deteriorated, the surface coating can effectively inhibit the side reaction of the high-nickel material and the electrolyte, and the cycle stability of the material is improved. The coating layer is too thin, and the material performance is not obviously improved; the coating layer is too thick, the specific capacity loss of the material is more, and after the cycle is repeated for many times, the film falls off. If the positive electrode material with the same structure is coated, the coating layer has larger thickness and is completely coated outside the particles to form a core-shell structure, the defects can be inhibited. The ternary cathode material with the core-shell structure generally comprises a core with high specific capacity and a shell with high stability, wherein the core and the shell both have electrochemical activity and have the advantages of high specific capacity, good cycling stability and the like.
The invention couples the seed crystal fluidized bed technology and the spray drying principle, can realize the mutual coating of different materials by controlling different component proportions of the seed crystal and the spray drying feed liquid, for example, the seed crystal adopts 811 grade ternary anode material, and the spray drying feed liquid adopts 111 proportion of nickel, cobalt and manganese, thus realizing the preparation of 811-doped 111 gradient anode material.
