The polygonal layered manganomanganic oxide is preferably such that the particle size of the polygonal layered manganomanganic oxide agglomerated secondary particles is D10 > 1 μm, D50=5-25 μm, and D90 < 100 μm.
Preferably, the half-peak width of the 011 crystal plane of the polygonal layered manganous-manganic oxide is 0.1-0.3 deg.
As a general inventive concept, the present invention also provides a method for preparing the polygonal layered trimanganese tetroxide, comprising the steps of:
(1) Injecting deionized water and ammonia water into a reaction kettle as base solution, starting a stirring paddle and a heater, introducing nitrogen as protective gas, controlling the temperature to be 55-65 ℃, controlling the ammonia value (the mass of ammonia in 1L of solution) in the reaction kettle to be 4.5-5.5g/L, and then introducing manganese sulfate solution, sodium hydroxide solution and ammonia water into the solution in the reaction kettle for reaction;
(2) Stirring the material obtained after the reaction in the step (1) to ensure that the material is fully contacted with air until the material becomes brownish black;
(3) And (3) standing the material obtained in the step (2), removing the supernatant, and performing forced air drying on the bottom material to obtain the polygonal layered manganous-manganic oxide.
The invention prepares polygonal layered trimanganese tetroxide by a method of manganese sulfate solution hydrolysis precipitation of manganese ions in an ammonia medium, and the reaction process is as follows: firstly, the manganese sulfate solution and ammonia water generate complexation effect to generate Mn 2+ The complex is then reacted with sodium hydroxide solution to precipitate the hydroxideDuring the reaction process, the shape, the granularity and the like of the crystallized particles can be controlled by controlling the concentrations and the feeding rates of a manganese sulfate solution, ammonia water and a sodium hydroxide solution.
Preferably, in the step (1), when the pH value of the system in the reaction kettle reaches 12-13, the introduction of the NaOH solution is stopped, the ammonia value of the solution is increased to 9.5-11g/L, and after the reaction is carried out for 10-15min, the NaOH solution is introduced again for reaction.
In the preparation method, preferably, in the step (1), the concentration of the manganese sulfate solution is 1.5-2.5mol/L, and the feeding rate is 30-40mL/min; the concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution is 9-11mol/L, and the feeding rate is 7-9mL/min; the concentration of ammonia water is 13-14mol/L, and the feeding speed is 3-15mL/min.

In the preparation method, the reaction process is preferably a continuous method, all materials are injected from the bottom of the reaction kettle, and the materials flow out from an overflow port at the upper part; namely, after the materials are reacted in the reaction kettle for a period of time, the feed inlet and the discharge outlet are simultaneously opened, so that when the raw materials enter the reaction kettle, the precipitated manganese hydroxide crystals simultaneously overflow from the discharge outlet of the reaction kettle, and the overflowing materials are collected and oxidized to form polygonal layered trimanganese tetroxide particles. The continuous method can make the incompletely grown crystals which just enter the reaction kettle and the completely grown crystals which fully react overflow out of the reaction kettle simultaneously, so the particle size distribution of the obtained manganese hydroxide particles is wider, the particle size distribution of the prepared polygonal mangano-manganic oxide is also wider after oxidation, and the problem that the particles are easy to break when being pressed can be effectively solved due to the wider particle size distribution.
The invention prepares the precursor manganese salt by a liquid-phase coprecipitation method and controls the manganese sulfate solutionControlling the shape and granularity by the concentration and feeding rate of ammonia water and sodium hydroxide solution; meanwhile, the Mn in the reaction kettle is enabled to be added with the Mn by manufacturing a thin environmental phase, namely reducing the concentration of the solution-phase sodium hydroxide in the reaction kettle which is directly contacted with the crystalline particle phase (namely suddenly stopping the introduction of the sodium hydroxide solution and rapidly increasing the ammonia value concentration in the reaction process) 2+ Ammonia complex spiking) and reducing the precipitation reaction rate, the low order phase growth of crystal growth can be promoted, and a polygonal layered structure is formed; and then controlling the natural oxidation of the precursor in the air to finally obtain layered polygonal manganous-manganic oxide with a compact structure, and enhancing the structural stability of the precursor manganous-manganic oxide.
