20240145699
The embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of lithium ion batteries, for example, a composite lithium nickel manganese oxide positive electrode material, and in particular, to a composite lithium nickel manganese oxide positive electrode material, a preparation method thereof, and a lithium ion battery positive electrode plate.
Spinel lithium nickel manganese oxide is used in the power battery system with high energy density due to its high reaction potential (>4.6 V) and high theoretical specific capacity (>140 mAh/g). However, since the reaction potential (>4.6 V) is excessively high, in order to reduce the side reaction between the positive electrode material and the electrolyte, the synthesized crystal grain size is large most of the time. This will slow down the migration of lithium ions inside the material, resulting in poor kinetic performance.
How to effectively improve the kinetic performance of the material, enhance the diffusion of lithium ions on the surface of the material, accelerate the migration rate of the lithium ions in the material, and reduce the direct-current (DC) internal resistance of the battery are technical problems that need to be solved for lithium nickel manganese oxide materials.
