In order to pursue higher capacity, a nickel cobalt lithium manganate ternary positive electrode material is a main development direction at present. The nickel cobalt lithium manganate anode material is mainly divided into two directions of a secondary sphere and a monocrystal. The secondary ball material can lead to the breakage of a crystal structure along with the deintercalation of lithium ions under the condition of higher charge-discharge voltage, so that the material is invalid; compared with a secondary ball, the single crystal material has higher charge and discharge voltage, large compaction density and long cycle life, and is widely applied to the fields of energy storage and the like.
The single crystal anode material is synthesized by mixing, sintering, crushing, sieving and other processes of metal lithium salt and ternary small particle precursor. The sphericity difference of the ternary small-sized particle precursors can affect the sintering uniformity of the single crystal positive electrode material, and further can affect the uniformity of a battery; meanwhile, the poor sphericity of the precursor can influence the processing performance of the monocrystalline anode material, so that the problems of difficult crushing, higher oversize products and the like are caused, and the processing cost is increased. It is therefore of particular importance to improve the sphericity of ternary small particle precursors.
