The invention also provides a preparation method of the layered perovskite structure cathode material of the lithium ion battery, the flow of which is shown in figure 1, and the preparation method comprises the following steps:
(1) weighing a lithium source, a lanthanum source and a niobium source, and ball-milling and uniformly mixing to obtain a mixed material;
(2) pre-sintering the obtained mixed material, cooling to room temperature, continuing ball milling, sintering again, and cooling to room temperature to obtain the target product Li0.1La0.3NbO3It has a layered perovskite structure.
In some embodiments, the lithium source, lanthanum source, and niobium source are added in amounts such that the molar ratio of lithium, lanthanum, and niobium is 1:3:10 in step (1).
In some embodiments, in step (1), the lithium source is lithium carbonate; the lanthanum source is lanthanum oxide; the niobium source is niobium pentoxide.
In some embodiments, in step (1), the rotation speed of the ball mill is 800-.
In some embodiments, in the step (2), the temperature of the pre-sintering is 700-800 ℃, and the pre-sintering time is 3-6 h.
In some embodiments, in step (2), the temperature of the secondary sintering is 1000-1100 ℃ and the time is 8-10 h.

In the preparation process, the raw materials can be fully and uniformly mixed by the first ball milling, and the lithium carbonate is decomposed into lithium oxide and carbon dioxide by the pre-sintering at a relatively low temperature, so that decomposed or adsorbed carbon dioxide gas in the raw materials is discharged, and meanwhile, the pre-sintering can effectively prevent a lithium source from being directly heated to a high temperature to volatilize, so that a target product deviates from a stoichiometric ratio, and therefore, the pre-sintering temperature and time play an important role in the generation of the target product. Further ball milling to ensure that the lanthanum oxide, the niobium pentoxide and the lithium oxide generated by presintering decomposition can be uniformly mixed again, and the lithium oxide, the lanthanum oxide and the niobium pentoxide react at a high temperature according to a predetermined stoichiometric ratio to generate a target product Li0.1La0.3NbO3Likewise, the temperature and time of the secondary sintering play a crucial role in the purity of the desired product.
