  • Publication number: 20240055591
    Abstract: Disclosed are a cathode electrode material and a preparation method and application thereof. A general formula thereof is LiaNi1-x-y-zCoxMnyAlzMbO2, herein 1.04?a?1.08, 0.04?x?0.08, 0.025?y?0.06, 0.03?z?0.09, 0.015?b?0.06, and M is B and at least one selected from Zr, Al, Ti, Mg, Na, Ca, Nb, Ba, Si, P, W, and Sr. Compared with an existing nickel-cobalt-manganese-aluminum cathode electrode material, the cathode electrode material is doped with an M ion. Through the doping of the M ion, the content of a divalent nickel ion may be reduced, thereby the amount of the nickel ions that transit from a crystal plane (003) to a crystal plane (104) is reduced, and the degree of lithium-nickel mixing is reduced, so that the crystal structure of the cathode electrode material is stabilized, thereby the cycle retention rate and thermal stability of the material are improved, as to prolong service life of the material and improve the safety thereof.

  • Publication number: 20230327082
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a cathode material, a method for preparing the cathode material and a lithium ion battery. The method comprises: performing a first sintering treatment on a lithium source material and a cathode precursor material to obtain a first sintered product; and coating a surface of the first sintered product with a coating agent and then performing a second sintering treatment to obtain the cathode material, wherein the coating agent is a nickel source material and/or a manganese source material. The method can reduce side reactions in an electrolyte and particles, improve the cyclic retention ratio and prolong the service of the battery without losing the circulation capacity while simplifying a synthetic process, reducing the energy consumption, improving the yield, canceling a water washing process and reducing residual lithium.
