  • Patent number: 10319997
    Abstract: The present application provides a coated anode material and a method of preparing the same. The coated anode material has a core-shell structure, wherein the core-shell structure includes an inert core and a shell coated on the inert core, the shell comprises an anode active material, and the inert core comprises a non-active material. In the coated anode material, the anode active material of the shell is distributed over the non-active material of the inert core, and the coated anode material can overcome the volume change problem of silicon particles during lithium insertion/deinsertion to a certain extent and obtain a better cycle performance and rate performance.

  • Publication number: 20190131673
    Abstract: Provided is a method for recycling and refreshing a cathode material, a refreshed cathode material and a lithium ion battery. The method for recycling and refreshing the cathode material includes: 1) a cathode material recycled from a waste battery is mixed with a manganiferous salt solution; 2) an alkali aqueous solution is added to the mixture to react to obtain a manganese hydroxide coating cathode material; and 3) the manganese hydroxide coating cathode material is sintered with a lithium resource to obtain a refreshed cathode material. The refreshed cathode material has no obvious impurity phase and has good crystallinity, high initial charge-discharge efficiency and good cycling performance.

  • Publication number: 20190128969
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for measuring an internal resistance of a battery, after discharging/charging the battery under a preset constant-current, acquiring voltages of the battery within a period from ending the discharging/charging to a time when the voltage reaches stable, and then calculating different corresponding internal resistances caused by ohmic polarization, electrochemical polarization and concentration polarization separately. Since it is different for the orders of the magnitude of the characteristic time which these different polarizations need to get back into new equilibrium state after ending the discharging/charging, the method of the present disclosure classifies the internal resistances caused by these polarizations and calculated different internal resistances corresponding to the polarizations.
