Background
In recent years, new energy electric vehicles are widely popularized in China, but the electric vehicle battery is long in charging time, and the popularization of the electric vehicle is hindered due to the fact that the performance of the battery is greatly reduced in cold weather in winter, so that the low-temperature quick-charging performance of the lithium ion battery is urgently needed to be improved. The improvement of the performance of the lithium ion battery is mainly determined by the improvement of the electrochemical performance of the electrode material. Therefore, it is important to improve the charge-discharge characteristics of the negative electrode material while maintaining excellent cycle performance. In the prior art, the low-temperature quick-charging graphite cathode material is basically formed by carbonizing secondary particles, but the secondary particle carbonization has the defects of coating modification, complex process, high cost and the like. Meanwhile, the energy density loss to a certain degree is caused by the fact that the coating layer is too thick; in addition, the technical scheme is restricted by larger secondary particle size, so that the low-temperature quick charge performance of the graphite cathode material can not be further improved, and the performance requirement of the lithium ion battery on low-temperature quick charge is difficult to meet.
