Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preparing transitional-metal particles (cathode particle precursor) under a co-precipitation reaction. In this method, by feeding different types of anion compositions and/or cation compositions, and adjusting the pH to match with the species, precipitated particles are deposited to form a slurry, colleting the slurry, treating with water, and drying to get a cathode particle precursor. Mixing the cathode particle precursor with a lithium source and calcining to yield core-shell structured cathode active particles. Such cathode active particle can be used to prepare cathode of lithium-ion battery.

Abstract: A micro-nano incremental mechanical surface treatment method, comprising the following steps: using a modification tool having a designable end to contact a surface of a substrate material, rotating the modification tool in a local region and compressing the material surface, presetting processing parameters by means of 3D modeling software, and after the tool has processed the entire surface, enabling the tool to move downwards to the indented surface compressed previously. The process continues until the surface material is compressed to a pre-defined thickness, thereby achieving the goals of grain refinement and surface performance improvement. By means of the present method, a workpiece having a complex shape can be flexibly and designably surface modified. The method has the advantages of high bonding strength, no pollution, and low cost.
