Patent number: 11316160Abstract: A supercapacity lithium ion battery cathode material, a preparation method therefor and an application thereof. The supercapacity lithium ion battery cathode material consists of a transition metal-containing lithium ion cathode material and carbon which is coated on the surface of the lithium ion cathode material. The transition metal on the surface of the lithium ion cathode material is coordinated with carbon by means of X—C bonds to form transition metal-X—C chemical bonds, such that carbon stably coats the surface of the cathode material, wherein C is SP3 hybridization and/or SP2 hybridization, and X is at least one selected from among N, O and S.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2017Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: PEKING UNIVERSITY SHENZHEN GRADUATE SCHOOLInventors: Feng Pan, Yandong Duan, Bingkai Zhang, Jiaxin Zheng, Jiangtao Hu, Tongchao Liu, Hua Guo, Yuan Lin, Wen Li, Xiaohe Song, Zengqing Zhuo, Yidong Liu
