In addition, in the present invention, fig. 1 is a comparative graph of charge and discharge curves of example 5 and comparative example 1; as can be seen from fig. 1, it can be seen from the charge and discharge curves of comparative example 5 and comparative example 1 that the 0.1C discharge capacity (225.2 mAh/g) of the positive electrode material provided in example 5 is higher than the 0.1C discharge capacity (216.9 mAh/g) of the positive electrode material D-1 obtained when the first sintering temperature is excessively low (600 ℃).
FIG. 2 is a comparison of cycle performance for example 5 and comparative example 1; as can be seen from fig. 2, by comparing the cycle performance of example 5 with that of comparative example 1, it can be seen that the capacity retention rate (94.6%) of example 5 is significantly higher than that (86.7%) of the positive electrode material provided by D-1. This is because when the sintering temperature is too low, primary grain growth is incomplete, resulting in a low compressive index and structural instability, thus exhibiting low capacity and cycle performance.
FIG. 3 is a graph showing a comparison of charge and discharge curves of example 5 and comparative example 2; as can be seen from fig. 3, it can be seen from the charge and discharge curves of comparative example 5 and comparative example 2 that the 0.1C discharge capacity (225.2 mAh/g) of the positive electrode material provided in example 5 is higher than the 0.1C discharge capacity (208.3 mAh/g) of the obtained positive electrode material D-2 when the first sintering temperature is excessively high (900 ℃).
FIG. 4 is a comparative graph of cycle performance of example 5 and comparative example 2; from fig. 4, it can be seen that the capacity retention rate (94.6%) of example 5 is significantly higher than that (85.9%) of the positive electrode material provided by D-2 by comparing the cycle performance of example 5 and comparative example 2. This is because when the sintering temperature is too high, the primary grain growth develops excessively, which also results in a low compressive index and structural instability, thus exhibiting low capacity and cycle performance.
FIG. 5 is a comparative graph showing charge and discharge curves of example 5 and comparative example 3; as can be seen from fig. 5, from the charge and discharge curves of comparative example 5 and comparative example 3, it can be seen that the 0.1C discharge capacity (225.2 mAh/g) of example 5 is higher than the 0.1C discharge capacity (221.7 mAh/g) of the positive electrode material D-3 obtained without adding rhenium oxide and the oxidant additive in the first sintering.
FIG. 6 is a comparative graph of cycle performance of example 5 and comparative example 3; from fig. 6, it can be seen that the capacity retention rate (94.6%) of example 5 is significantly higher than that (87.5%) of the positive electrode material provided by D-3 by comparing the cycle performance of example 5 and comparative example 3. The above shows that the addition of rhenium oxide and the oxidized alumina additive in the first sintering can improve the capacity, the cycle performance and the like of the material, because the proper doping modification can improve the micro-domain structure of the material and form a lithium-containing compound on the surfaces of particles or among the particles, which both contribute to improving the compression resistance index of the material, thereby improving the electrochemical properties such as the capacity, the cycle performance and the like of the cathode material.
FIG. 7 is a comparative graph of the charge and discharge curves of example 5 and comparative example 4; from fig. 7, it can be seen that the 0.1C discharge capacity (225.2 mAh/g) of example 5 is significantly higher than the 0.1C discharge capacity (214.3 mAh/g) of the positive electrode material D-4 obtained without the addition of the tungsten nitride, aluminum fluoride additive in the second sintering, as seen from the charge and discharge curves of comparative example 5 and comparative example 4.
FIG. 8 is a comparative graph of cycle performance of example 5 and comparative example 4; from fig. 8, it can be seen that the capacity retention rate (94.6%) of example 5 is significantly higher than the capacity retention rate (86.6%) of the positive electrode material provided by D-4 by comparing the cycle performance of example 5 and comparative example 4. The addition of the tungsten nitride and aluminum fluoride additives in the second sintering process is shown to improve the capacity, the cycle performance and the like of the material, because a stable coating layer can be formed on the surface of the material, the surface micro-area structure of the material is improved, the surface side reaction of the material is reduced, and the improvement of the compression resistance index of the material is also facilitated, so that the electrochemical properties such as the capacity, the cycle performance and the like of the cathode material are improved.
FIG. 9 is a comparative graph of the charge and discharge curves of example 9 and comparative example 5; as can be seen from FIG. 9, from the charge and discharge curves of comparative example 9 and comparative example 5, it can be seen that the 0.1C discharge capacity (250.7 mAh/g) of example 9 is significantly higher than the 0.1C discharge capacity (240.9 mAh/g) of the positive electrode material D-5 obtained when the solid content is reduced to 150g/L in the precursor preparation process.
FIG. 10 is a comparative graph of cycle performance of example 9 and comparative example 5; from fig. 10, it can be seen that the capacity retention rate (93.9%) of example 9 is significantly higher than that (88.0%) of the positive electrode material provided by D-5 by comparing the cycle performance of example 9 and comparative example 5. This is because low solid content results in poor crystallinity and compactness of the precursor, and changes in morphology and microstructure, thus exhibiting a low compressive index, resulting in deterioration of electrochemical properties such as capacity and cycle performance of the material.
FIG. 11 is a comparative graph of the charge and discharge curves of example 9 and comparative example 6; as can be seen from fig. 11, from the charge and discharge curves of comparative example 9 and comparative example 6, it can be seen that the 0.1C discharge capacity (250.7 mAh/g) of example 9 is significantly higher than the 0.1C discharge capacity (241.9 mAh/g) of the positive electrode material D-6 obtained without adding the tungsten oxide and aluminum oxyhydroxide additives in the first sintering.
FIG. 12 is a comparison of cycle performance for example 9 and comparative example 6; as can be seen from fig. 12, by comparing the cycle performance of example 9 and comparative example 6, it can be seen that the capacity retention rate (93.9%) of example 9 is significantly higher than the capacity retention rate (89.0%) of the positive electrode material provided by D-6. The above shows that the addition of the tungsten oxide and aluminum oxyhydroxide additives in the first sintering can improve the capacity, cycle performance and the like of the material, because the proper doping modification can improve the micro-domain structure of the material and form a lithium-containing compound on the particle surface or among the particles, which both contribute to improving the compression index of the material, thereby improving the electrochemical properties such as the capacity, cycle performance and the like of the cathode material.
FIG. 13 is a comparative graph of the charge and discharge curves of example 9 and comparative example 7; from fig. 13, it can be seen that the 0.1C discharge capacity (250.7 mAh/g) of example 9 is significantly higher than the 0.1C discharge capacity (233.0 mAh/g) of the positive electrode material D-7 without the second sintering process by comparing the charge and discharge curves of example 9 and comparative example 7.
FIG. 14 is a comparative graph of cycle performance of example 9 and comparative example 7; as can be seen from fig. 14, by comparing the cycle performance of example 9 and comparative example 7, it can be seen that the capacity retention rate (93.9%) of example 9 is significantly higher than the capacity retention rate (89.9%) of the positive electrode material provided by D-7. The above shows that the second sintering can effectively improve the capacity, the cycle performance and the like of the material, because the second sintering process can form a stable coating layer on the surface of the material and rearrange atoms on the surface of the material, improve the surface micro-domain structure of the material, reduce the surface side reaction of the material, and improve the compression resistance index of the material, thereby improving the electrochemical properties such as the capacity, the cycle performance and the like of the cathode material.
