  • Publication number: 20240413316
    Abstract: Provided are a positive electrode material and a preparation method thereof, a composite positive electrode material, a positive electrode plate, and a secondary battery. The positive electrode material includes: a core, a first shell layer, and a second shell layer. The first shell layer wraps around a surface of the core. The second shell layer wraps around a surface of the first shell layer. The core includes a lithium manganese iron phosphate material. The first shell layer includes a polyanionic positive electrode material. The polyanionic positive electrode material contains no manganese. The second shell layer includes a hydrophobic conductive material. When ensuring a relatively high energy density of the lithium manganese iron phosphate material, the positive electrode material improves the electrical conductivity of the lithium manganese iron phosphate material, alleviates the problem of hygroscopicity, and reduces manganese dissolution during cycling.

  • Publication number: 20240322589
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present application provide a charging control method and a charging control apparatus of a lithium-ion battery. The charging control method includes: performing charging control on the lithium-ion battery for the ith time, so that a battery capacity value of the lithium-ion battery at a target charging cut-off voltage is 0.95C0 to 1.05C0, where C0 is a nominal capacity of the lithium-ion battery, and the target charging cut-off voltage is less than or equal to the nominal voltage of the lithium-ion battery. The charging control method and the charging control apparatus according to the embodiments of the present application are beneficial to keeping the quantity of active lithium unchanged, thereby achieving the effect of automatically supplementing the battery capacity along with aging.
