However, the existing preparation method of lithium iron serving as a lithium supplement agent has the defects of high energy consumption, low purity, complex flow, high cost, long period and the like.
For example, CN110498449a discloses a lithium ferrite material and a preparation method thereof, wherein an iron source, a lithium source, a carbon source and deionized water are mixed and ground, and spray-dried and sintered to obtain a lithium ferrite with a carbon-coated surface. However, CN110498449a has the following problems: the iron source and the carbon source used can generate C, CO and CO during calcination 2 Etc., wherein C, CO reduces the iron source to elemental iron, CO 2 The lithium carbonate can react with a lithium source and strongly basic lithium ferrite to generate lithium carbonate, so that the final product inevitably contains lithium carbonate, simple substance iron and the like, the purity is not high, and the specific charge capacity of the final product is low. In addition, the calcination temperature is high (650-1000 ℃), the time is long (24-48 h), the energy consumption is large, and the cost is high.
In view of the above, the present invention is particularly proposed.

And the carbon coating is carried out by a second grinding and second spray drying mode, so that a carbon source and the first sintered lithium ferrite material can be fully mixed, and compared with a vapor deposition mode, the carbon coating cost is lower and the coating effect is better.
Residual lithium is removed by washing the lithium ferrite after the first sintering with a non-aqueous solvent, and free lithium (residual alkali) is greatly reduced.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the organic solvent that does not react with lithium ferrite is used for washing, and in order to ensure the washing effect and reduce the cost, the organic solvent should be capable of dissolving a certain amount of residual lithium such as lithium oxide, lithium hydroxide, lithium carbonate, and lithium bicarbonate. If the solubility is too low, the washing effect is not obtained.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the lithium ferrite material is further subjected to a filtration step after being washed with the alcohol solvent and before being mixed with the inorganic carbon source and the non-aqueous solvent.

It can be seen from the comparison of the experimental data of example 1 and example 5 that the basicity of the lithium ferrite material is reduced by doping fluorine in example 1, and the material structure is more stable and the electrochemical performance is more excellent.
Comparing comparative example 1 with example 1, it can be seen that the alkalinity of the prepared material is obviously reduced after the washing is increased in example 1, and the electrical property of the material is not greatly influenced.
As can be seen by comparing example 1 with example 6, in example 6, lithium hydroxide alone is used as a lithium source, and the prepared material has high alkalinity and is easy to absorb water to generate LiFeO 2 A heterogeneous phase; and in the primary sintering, the lithium hydroxide melts and then the solution corrodes the sagger of the material. In the embodiment 1, the proportion of lithium hydroxide is reduced by using the composite lithium source, so that the corrosion to the sagger is reduced, the alkalinity is reduced, and the water is not easy to absorb to generate LiFeO 2 And (4) miscellaneous phase.
Wherein, as shown in FIG. 2, the XRD pattern of the lithium ferrite material prepared in example 1 is shown; FIG. 3 shows the XRD pattern of the lithium ferrite material prepared in example 6. As can be seen by comparing fig. 2 and 3, in example 6, lithium hydroxide alone was used as a lithium source, and a hetero-peak was generated.
