Examples 2 to 9 and comparative examples 1 to 3 were subjected to parameter modification based on the step of example 1, and the specifically modified parameters and test results are shown in tables 1 to 8, in which the particle size distribution is that of the positive electrode active material.
TABLE 1
TABLE 2
TABLE 3 Table 3
TABLE 4 Table 4
As can be seen from comparison of examples 1 and 4 to 7 in tables 3 to 4, sintering with appropriate amounts of the positive electrode active material precursor, the M source and the amorphous oxide in the present invention can further improve the capacity, coulombic efficiency, rate capability and cycle performance of the material. The higher or lower M source content of examples 4 and 5 significantly reduces capacity and low temperature performance; example 6 coating amorphous state too high, can cause particle adhesion, mobility deterioration, thus affecting capacity and low temperature performance; example 7 coated amorphous titanium oxide has lower content, lower material capacity and DCR, and also has deviation in cycle performance; thus, the capacity, coulombic efficiency, rate capability, and cycle were all optimized for example 1.
TABLE 5
TABLE 6
As can be seen from comparison of examples 1 with examples 8 to 9 and comparative examples 1 to 2 in tables 5 and 6, the temperature of the first sintering and the temperature of the second sintering in the present invention affect the particle size distribution of the material and further affect the electrochemical properties of the material. When the temperature of the first sintering is higher, primary particles of the material grow larger, secondary particles are generated by agglomeration of the primary particles, the secondary particles are difficult to crush during crushing, the content of micro powder after crushing is more, the electrochemical performance of the material is also influenced, when the temperature of the first sintering is lower, the primary particles of the material are smaller, and the smaller particles are difficult to crush, so that the first discharge specific capacity, the first coulomb efficiency, the 800-cycle capacity retention rate, the DCR and the low-temperature capacity retention rate of comparative examples 1 to 2 are all worse than those of example 1; when the second sintering temperature is low, the amorphous titanium oxide coating effect is deviated to affect the morphology of the material, and when the second sintering temperature is high, the capacity of the material is affected, so that the overall electrochemical performance of examples 8 to 9 is slightly inferior to that of example 1.
TABLE 7
TABLE 8
As can be seen from the comparison between the examples 1 and 3 in tables 7 to 8, the amorphous oxide is adopted in the example 1, which has higher activity, can realize good coating effect at low temperature, optimize the morphology of the material, further realize the regulation and control of the size and particle diameter of the material, and cooperate with the crushed first sintering product with good size and morphology to jointly improve the capacity, cycle performance and low temperature performance of the material, while the conventional titanium oxide is adopted in the comparative example 3 for sintering, so that the prepared positive electrode active material has poorer capacity and cycle stability.
From examples 1 to 9, it can be seen that the present invention further improves the capacity, cycle performance and low temperature performance of the prepared electrochemical device by doping and coating specific elements and components, adjusting and controlling the particle size and crystal structure of the material, optimizing the particle size of the material, reducing the micro powder content and large particle number of the material, improving the rate capability and storage performance of the material.
