The carbon coating can not only enhance the conductivity of lithium iron phosphate and improve the kinetics rate of lithium ion deintercalation reaction, but also provide a stable electrochemical interface and greatly improve the electrochemical performance, but in the coating process, the electrochemical performance of the finished product has a great relationship with the tight connection degree between materials, and the conductivity and the circulation stability of the composite material can be directly influenced; and secondly, the particle size of the carbon material also improves the electrochemical performance of the lithium iron phosphate. The ion doping causes holes in a crystal lattice to induce crystal lattice defects, accelerates the conversion from an intrinsic n-type semiconductor to a p-type semiconductor, reduces the charge transfer resistance, improves the oxidation-reduction potential, essentially improves the conductivity and tap density of lithium iron phosphate, and improves the multiplying power and the cycle performance of the material, but has poor doping uniformity in the doping process, so that the stability of the material is greatly changed.

Table 1.
As can be seen from table 1, comparing example 1 with comparative examples 1 and 2, in this example, the electrochemical properties of the materials are greatly improved compared to the surface doped titanium without doping titanium and the conventional bulk doped titanium. The applicant speculates that the reason is that: the intermediate doped titanium improves the connection tightness between the lithium iron phosphate and the carbon.
As can be seen from the comparison of example 1, example 5 and comparative example 3, the particle size of the carbon-coated material has an influence on the final electrochemical properties of the composite material, and the smaller the particle size, the better the electrochemical properties. The applicant speculates that the reason is that: the coating performance of the carbon material with smaller particle size is more uniform, and gaps among particles can be filled better, so that the tap density and electrochemical performance of the material are improved.
As can be seen from a comparison of example 1, example 6 and example 7, the thermal solvent method at the time of surface doping has better electrochemical properties than the composite material obtained by sintering, and the wet coating method at the time of carbon coating has better electrochemical properties than the composite material obtained by solid phase coating. The applicant speculates that the reason is that: in the wet doping and coating, the element doping and coating process is stable and uniform, and the doping uniformity and compactness of the doped metal on the lithium iron phosphate are improved, and the doping uniformity and compactness of the carbon coating on the metal doping layer and the lithium iron phosphate are improved.
As can be seen from the comparison of example 1 and example 8, the stepwise temperature-rising sintering has better electrochemical properties than the one-step temperature-rising sintering. The applicant speculates that the reason is that: the titanium dioxide is fully reduced in the step sintering, and then the carbon is sintered and combined, so that the purity of the titanium and the compactness of the carbon coating are improved.
