  • Patent number: 11708280
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of preparing an MOF-coated monocrystal ternary positive electrode material. Firstly, a solution A of nickel, cobalt and manganese metal salts, an ammonia complexing agent solution and a caustic soda liquid are added to a reactor for reaction to obtain a precursor core; then, an organic carboxylate is dissolved in an amount of an organic solvent to obtain a solution B; the solution B and a manganese metal salt solution with a given concentration are added to the reactor and aged to obtain an MOF-coated core-shell structure precursor; the core-shell structure precursor is pre-sintered at a low temperature to obtain a nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide with monocrystal structure; the nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide with monocrystal structure is uniformly mixed with LiOH·H2O in a mortar and then calcined at a high temperature to obtain an MOF-coated monocrystal ternary positive electrode material.

  • Publication number: 20230035993
    Abstract: A preparation method for a high nickel ternary precursor capable of preferential growth of crystal planes by adjusting and controlling the addition amount of seed crystals. The method comprises the following steps: 1) feeding a ternary metal solution into a reaction kettle containing a first base liquid for reaction, and when the particle size reaches 1.5 to 3.0 ?m, stopping the feeding, so as to obtain a seed crystal slurry; 2) simultaneously adding the ternary metal solution, a liquid alkali solution, and an ammonia solution in cocurrent flow into a growth kettle containing a second base solution for reaction, when the particle size reaches 6 to 8 ?m, adding the seed crystal slurry into the reaction system, and controlling the particle size to be 9.0 to 11.0 ?m by adjusting the feed rate of the seed crystal, so as to obtain the target object.

  • Publication number: 20220315445
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a preparation method for 2-4 ?m battery-grade cobalt tetroxide, comprises following steps: 1) adding a cobalt salt solution and an alkaline solution by parallel flows to a reactor with a base solution and an air flow, controlling pH value of a system by adjusting flow rate of the alkaline solution for coprecipitation reaction at a certain stirring rate, decreasing the pH value of the reaction system and increasing flow rate of the cobalt salt solution after the reaction solutions begin to overflow; 2) aging and drying the cobalt oxyhydroxide slurry in sequence; 3) calcining the dried cobalt oxyhydroxide. By adopting this method, tap density of the battery-grade cobalt tetroxide obtained is much higher than that of cobalt tetroxide with a same particle size specification prepared by the prior art.
