Abstract:

In order to develop a more simple and efficient method of alumina modified cathode materials,and improve the rate and cycle performance of lithium battery cathode materials,the preparation of nano-alumina slurry with Ammonium polyacrylate(PAANH4) as dispersant and the coating of nano-alumina on the cathode material LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 were studied.Through the experiment,it was optimized that the particle size of nano-alumina was smaller and uniform,when the addition amount of PAANH4 was 4% ,and the milling time was 8 h.This nano-alumina slurry was used to modify the cathode material of lithium ion battery.It was found that the addition of alumina did not change the surface morphology,particle size and crystal structure of the cathode material.In the electrochemical performance test,when the alumina coating amount was 0.3%(mass fraction),better enhanced rate performance was obtained,and when the alumina coating amount was 0.5%(mass fraction),better cycling stability was obtained.At 1C rate,the capacity retention rates of uncoated and 0.5%(mass fraction)alumina-coated cathode materials were 75.61% and 84.93% after 100 times,respectively.
