As can be seen from comparison between example 1 and examples 4 to 5 in table 2, in the present invention, when the precursor core is generated, the M element is coated by the second precipitation after the precursor core grows to a certain particle size, which can further improve the capacity and power performance of the material. In example 4, the lower size of the precursor core causes poor sphericity of the internal crystal nucleus, more pores, influences the tap density of the finished product, and deteriorates the cell cycle. In example 5, the precursor has a high size, which results in poor coating effect and uneven coating layer, thereby affecting capacity exertion and cell power performance. Therefore, the positive active material prepared from the precursor core with the proper particle size in example 1 has better discharging capacity and power performance.

Figure BDA0003695698320000121
As can be seen from a comparison of example 1 with examples 6 to 9 in table 3, doping and coating with an appropriate content of the M element in the positive electrode active material of the present invention can further improve the electrochemical properties of the material. When the M element in the core is more or less, the capacity is seriously affected, and when the M element in the shell is more or less, the material polarization is increased and the cycle performance is deteriorated, so that the capacity and the cycle performance of example 1 are higher than those of examples 6 to 9.
TABLE 4
Figure BDA0003695698320000122
Comparative example 3
The process is the same as example 1 except that sodium tungstate is not added in the step (1), the step (2) is not performed, and tungstic acid is added after the step (3) is sintered at 650 ℃ for sintering for 6 hours.
As can be seen from comparison between example 1 and comparative examples 1 to 3 in table 4, in the present invention, doping and coating the M element on the surface of the positive active material by two coprecipitations can improve the first-time discharging capacity, coulombic efficiency, and capacity retention rate of the material. In comparative examples 1 and 2, the W element is not doped or coated, the inner core or the outer shell of the material does not contain W, the interfacial polarization cannot be effectively reduced, and the diffusion rate of lithium ions is improved, in comparative example 3, the tungstic acid is directly sintered on the surface of the ternary material for doping and coating by adopting a traditional fire sintering mode, although the doping and coating of W are realized, the fire sintering mode is not beneficial to the combination of the inner core and the outer shell, the outer shell is easy to fall off in the circulation process, the interface stability of the material is poor, the crystallinity is poor, the polarization is high, and the interface impedance is strong, so that the first discharge gram capacity, the first coulomb efficiency and the 800-week circulation capacity retention rate of the comparative examples 1 to 3 are all inferior to those of example 1.
In summary, in embodiments 1 to 9, W, Nb and/or Mo are doped and coated in the positive active material of the present invention, so that crystallinity and interface stability of the material are improved, polarization of the battery is reduced, and dynamic performance, capacity, and cycle performance of the battery are improved; furthermore, the method adopts twice coprecipitation reactions, overcomes the defects that the traditional large-particle tungsten source, niobium source and molybdenum source are not easy to dope into crystal lattices during pyrogenic sintering, are difficult to coat on the surface of a material crystal boundary, and have poor combination of a coating layer and a matrix, improves the crystallinity and interface stability of the material, reduces the polarization of the battery, and improves the dynamic performance, capacity and cycle performance of the battery.
The above-mentioned embodiments are intended to illustrate the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention in further detail, and it should be understood that the above-mentioned embodiments are only exemplary embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention, and any modifications, equivalents, improvements and the like made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
