  • Patent number: 9546189
    Abstract: A surface modified lithium titanate and preparation method thereof is provided. In the surface modified lithium titanate, the deactivating groups distributed on the surface of the lithium titanate are —O—P—RR?R?, —O—P—(OR)R?R?, —O—P—(OR)(OR?)R?, and —O—P—(OR)(OR?)(OR?), where R, R? and R? are identical or different C1˜C8 alkyl or alkenyl groups. The deactivating groups are bonded to the lithium titanate via a bond or a bridge. The exemplary surface modified lithium titanate can effectively lower its catalytic activity, reduce the gassing of lithium ion batteries, and therefore improve the high temperature storage and high temperature cycle performance of lithium titanate batteries. The exemplary preparation method is simple, has great repeatability, a low cost, low pollution to the environment, and is suitable for industrial production.

  • Publication number: 20140079961
    Abstract: The invention pertains to the technical field of a Li-ion battery, in particular to a method of replenishing lithium for the negative plate of a Li-ion battery. Under inert atmosphere, organic lithium solution is sprayed or dripped on the negative plate surface so that lithium-ion in the organic lithium solution is reduced to lithium metal which is embedded in the negative plate, and then the negative plate is dried. Compared with the prior art, in the invention, the organic lithium solution is uniformly sprayed or dripped on the negative plate surface for realization of lithium replenishment by way of a wet process, thus effectively avoiding floating of lithium metal powder in the air during lithium replenishment by way of a dry process, which not only guarantees production safety, but also is characterized by simple process and lower cost.
