As can be seen from FIG. 4, the discharge capacity of comparative example 2 is brought into 89.85mAh/g, while the discharge capacity of example 2 can reach 160.79mAh/g, the gram capacity is increased by 70.94mAh/g, and the increase rate reaches 79%.
The test results of fig. 3-4 prove that the comparative example is directly sintered without being immersed in inorganic salt, which causes corrosion of HF on the surface of the material and lower discharge capacity, and after the treatment by the method of the embodiment, the material structure can be effectively repaired, and the discharge capacity of the material is obviously improved.
Example 4

And (3) passing the stripped powder through an ultrasonic vibration sieve (325 meshes) and carrying out electromagnetic iron removal treatment to obtain recovered powder.
b) Placing the recovered powder material in Na 2 CO 3 The solution (concentration: 2 mol/L) was stirred at 200rpm for 15 minutes to obtain a mixed solution having a solid content of 30%. Then filtering and drying for 5 hours at 120 ℃ to obtain solid materials.
c) Weighing solid materials and lithium carbonate, uniformly mixing, loading the solid materials and the lithium carbonate into a sagger (the bowl loading amount is 5 kg/bowl, and the Li consumption in the lithium carbonate is 100 ppm), heating to 800 ℃ at the speed of 10 ℃/min, preserving heat and sintering for 6 hours, and then cooling to room temperature at the speed of 10 ℃/min to obtain the sintered materials.
d) Crushing, sieving (325 mesh of screen), demagnetizing, washing (solid content is 30% in washing), and drying at 400 ℃ for 5h to obtain the repaired ternary positive electrode material.
Example 5

Example 6: performance testing
The electrochemical properties of examples 4 to 5 and comparative example 3 were tested according to the test method in example 3, and the results are shown in table 1.
Table 1: electrochemical Properties
Positive electrode active material Discharge capacity, mAh/g
Example 1 120.79
Example 2 160.79
Example 4 161.2
Example 5 160.3
Comparative example 1 84.84
Comparative example 2 89.85
As can be seen from the test results in Table 1, the discharge capacity of the materials obtained in examples 1-2,4-5 of the present invention reaches 120mAh/g or more, and excellent electrochemical performance is exhibited. Compared with the example 1, the discharge capacity of the comparative examples 1-2 is obviously reduced, and the discharge capacity is low because the material is directly sintered without being immersed by inorganic salt solution, and the surface of the material is corroded by HF. The discharge capacity of comparative example 3 is also significantly reduced compared to example 1, and it is proved that the performance of the material is reduced if the amount of the inorganic salt solution is too high, and the discharge capacity of the material can be effectively improved by controlling the amount of the inorganic salt solution to be a certain amount.
