Abstract: A cathode material and a method for preparing the same, lithium ion battery provided. The cathode material includes secondary particle which includes a plurality of primary particles, where the primary particle includes an active material having a chemical formula LibNixCoyMzRwO2, where 0.95?b?1.10, 0.8?x<1, 0<y+z+w?0.2, x+y+z+w=1, 0.0001?w?0.003; M is selected from at least one of Mn and Al, R is a metal; Phosphate compound coating layer are uniformly distributed on the surface of the cathode material, including a first coating layer and a second coating layer, where the first coating layer forms on the surface of the primary particle, the second coating layer forms on the surface of the secondary particle. The cathode material of this application can effectively improve the rate performance, thermal and cycling stability of lithium battery, and has the characteristics of low cost and easy large-scale production.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the technical field of cathode materials, and provides a cathode material and a preparation method therefor, a cathode sheet, and a battery. The preparation method includes the following steps: coating the surface of spherical nickel hydroxide with a lithium compound, a divalent cobalt compound, a trivalent cobalt compound, and an optional compound M, and then carrying out primary sintering on the coated material under an oxygen atmosphere, wherein the molar content of the trivalent cobalt compound in the cobalt compound is 50%-85%.

Abstract: A method comprises deforming one or more metal foils of a battery between a punch and a die to form bent metal foils. The one or more bent metal foils are disposed in a foil holding fixture with a battery lead disposed next to the one or more bent metal foils such that a bent portion of the one or more bent metal foils are separated from the battery lead by a distance of 0.1 to 2 millimeters. The one or more bent metal foils are impact welded by causing the foils to impact one another or to impact a battery lead at a velocity of speeds of 300 to 900 meters per second.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a device for magnetic welding of battery boils comprising a coil holder; where the coil holder comprises one or more electrical coils that are operative to be activated by an electrical current; a foil holding fixture; wherein the foil holding fixture comprises a plurality of arms; wherein each pair of adjacent arms is operative to move towards one another to crimp a plurality of battery foils; and an anvil; wherein the anvil is operative to support a battery tab and the battery foils.
