However, the conventional lithium ion battery cathode materials have many limitations. For example, LiNiO2The product with the stoichiometric ratio is difficult to synthesize and the capacity is seriously degraded; LiCoO2High cost, toxicity and long cycle performance under high pressure need to be improved; LiMn2O4Low specific energy and poor cycle stability; LiFePO4Low energy density, etc. At this time, the ternary positive electrode material LiNixCoyMnzO2The (x + y + z ═ 1) material has been widely studied because of the synergistic effect of transition metals, so that the ternary material has the advantages of high specific discharge capacity, high voltage plateau, low cost, low impedance, and the like. Meanwhile, the ternary material has some problems, such as residual alkali problem, cation mixing problem, surface side reaction problem, and the like. In addition, as an important component of an energy storage device, a ternary positive electrode material with high energy density can generate severe side reactions in a high-charge and discharge state, so that structural collapse and capacity attenuation are caused, even battery thermal runaway occurs, and serious safety accidents such as ignition and explosion are caused. Therefore, it is required to develop a ternary cathode material having both thermal stability and excellent electrochemical properties.
In the face of the requirements of high performance and safety of the ternary cathode material, the prior art mainly adopts the technical scheme of surface coating, ion doping and core-shell structure design. CN108365181B discloses a method for modifying a high-nickel layered positive electrode material, which comprises the steps of uniformly mixing a high-nickel layered transition metal oxide material with a precursor containing M-O and M-P, forming a nanoscale and uniformly distributed M-O and M-P coating layer on the surface of an active material through a chemical reaction, and then carrying out heat treatment on the coating layer to obtain a lithium battery anode material of which the surface contains the M-O and/or L-M-O, and the M-P and/or L-M-P coating layers; CN113410458A discloses a cation-doped modified ternary positive electrode material for a lithium ion battery and a preparation method thereof, wherein the method is obtained by uniformly mixing nanoscale metal oxide particles, a ternary material precursor and lithium salt and then roasting at high temperature; CN113314712A discloses a high-nickel anode material with a surface gradient structure, a preparation method and a lithium ion battery, wherein the method comprises the steps of firstly preparing a NiyM '1-yP' coated NixM1-xP core-shell precursor by a mechanofusion method, and then adding lithium salt for synchronous sintering and lithiation to prepare the high-nickel anode material with the surface gradient structure.
However, the technical requirements of the solution are high, the operation cost is high, the production efficiency is low, and the solution is rarely used in actual production. Furthermore, the impact of the properties of the positive electrode material is multifaceted and complex, and while improving one aspect of the properties, it is often necessary to sacrifice the other properties.
