The lithium ion battery has the advantages of small self-discharge, high voltage, high capacity, small volume, no memory effect and the like, and is widely applied to the fields of electric automobiles, notebook computers, digital cameras and the like. Lithium ion batteries have become one of the key points of high-tech development as a new generation of green high-energy batteries with excellent performance. The lithium ion battery mainly comprises a positive electrode material, a negative electrode material, a diaphragm and electrolyte, wherein the positive electrode material occupies more than 40% of the total cost of the lithium ion battery, and the performance of the positive electrode material directly influences the performance of the lithium ion battery, so that the positive electrode material occupies an important position in the lithium ion battery.

Commercial lithium ion battery cathode materials include lithium cobaltate, lithium manganate, ternary materials, lithium iron phosphate, and the like. The lithium cobaltate is the most widely used lithium ion battery anode material at present, has stable capacity, high open-circuit voltage and long cycle life, and compared with ternary materials, the lithium cobaltate has lower capacity and power, and has high toxicity due to the high price of cobalt, so that the lithium cobaltate has a tendency of being replaced. The lithium manganate is mainly produced by taking manganese dioxide and lithium carbonate as raw materials, the cost is low, the production method is simple, the production method is nontoxic and harmless, waste water and waste gas are not generated, the lithium manganate has good safety performance when being used as a positive electrode material of the lithium ion battery, however, the theoretical capacity is low, the cycle performance is poor, and the further development of the lithium ion battery is restricted by the miniaturization trend of the battery. The nickel cobalt lithium manganate ternary material has high theoretical capacity and good cycle performance, is relatively high in cost due to lack of cobalt resources, and has potential safety hazards in the use process. The lithium iron phosphate exists in the natural world in the form of lithium iron phosphate ore, and the chemical molecular formula is LiFePO 4 Lithium is positive monovalent, iron is positive divalent, and phosphate is negative trivalent. LiFePO 4 The lithium ion battery is widely available, does not contain noble metals and rare metals, is manufactured by using the lithium ion battery as a positive electrode material, has the advantages of low cost, environmental friendliness, good cycle performance, wide working temperature range and the like, is considered as the positive electrode material with the most development prospect, and becomes a research hot spot of the positive electrode material in recent years. However due to LiFePO 4 Self-crystal structure limitation, electron conductivity and lithiumThe low ion diffusion coefficient limits the charge rate and discharge rate, preventing further commercial use. Thus, liFePO is improved 4 Has profound significance in terms of conductivity.
The application creatively provides a graphene nanotube, and the graphene nanotube obtained by the preparation method provided by the application has excellent conductivity, ultra-fast electron plane transfer characteristic and very small bulk density, and is oriented to LiFePO 4 The conductive effect of the traditional conductive agent with more additive amount can be achieved by adding a small amount of graphene nanotubes into the positive electrode material, and the graphene nanotubes are used as the conductive agent to be applied to LiFePO 4 In the positive electrode material, the unique tubular structure can conduct LiFePO 4 The effect of the particles can improve LiFePO at the same time 4 The adding proportion of the anode material further improves the multiplying power performance, the cycle performance under the high multiplying power condition and the energy density of the lithium ion battery.

In some embodiments, the volume ratio in the hydrogen peroxide and ice water mixture is 1:69, wherein the mass fraction of the hydrogen peroxide solution is 35%.
It should be explained that when the reaction solution is mixed with the hydrogen peroxide solution and the ice-water mixture, the hydrogen peroxide solution plays an oxidation role, and the added ice-water mixture is used for cooling to prevent the volatilization of hydrogen peroxide from affecting the oxidation reaction, so that the addition amount of the ice-water mixture can play a cooling role without strictly controlling the addition amount of the ice-water mixture and the addition ratio of ice and water.

The anode slurry is coated on foil materials such as aluminum foil and the like, and the solvent is volatilized after drying treatment, so that the quality of an anode active material, a binder and graphene nanotubes in the anode slurry is critical, and the addition amount of the solvent is not required to be strictly controlled.
In some embodiments, the binder comprises a fluoropolymer and the solvent comprises an amide.
In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the positive electrode active material, the binder, and the graphene nanotubes is (80-90): 5: (5-15).
Alternatively, the mass ratio of the positive electrode active material, the binder, and the graphene nanotubes may be 80:5:15, may also be 85:5:10, or 90:5:5. it can be appreciated that the mass ratio of the positive electrode active material, the binder, and the graphene nanotubes may also be (80 to 90): 5: other values in (5-15).

The soft pack cells of examples 1 to 5 and comparative examples 1 to 4 were tested for cycle performance at room temperature at a current cycle of 5C for 200 weeks, and the soft pack cells of examples 1 to 5 and comparative examples 1 to 4 were also tested for cycle performance at room temperature at a current cycle of 30C for 1200 weeks, and the results are shown in table 2 and fig. 3 to 4.
The discharge capacities of the soft-pack cells of examples 1 to 5 and comparative examples 1 to 4 were measured at a discharge current of 0.33C and a temperature of-25 to 25℃, and the results are shown in table 2 and fig. 5.
Table 2 performance test of soft pack cells
As can be seen from table 2 and fig. 3, the capacity retention rates of the soft-pack cells of comparative examples 1-2 and examples 1-5 were 89.0%, 90.1%, 92.3%, 97.0%, 97.9%, 92.0%, 92.5% in this order at a current cycle of 5C for 200 weeks, and examples 1-5 exhibited superior cycle performance as compared to comparative examples 1-2; as can be seen from table 2 and fig. 4, the capacity retention rates of the soft-pack cells of comparative examples 1-2 and examples 1-5 were 64.5%, 72.8%, 81.3%, 82.1%, 83.2%, 82.0%, 81.5% in this order at a current cycle of 30C for 1000 weeks, indicating that examples 1-5 have better high rate cycle performance than comparative examples 1-2 due to the excellent conductivity of graphene nanotubes.
As can be seen from table 2 and fig. 5, the capacity retention rates of the soft-pack cells of comparative examples 1-2 and examples 1-5 were 58.0%, 60.1%, 62.0%, 65.8%, 66.1%, 62.5%, 61.6% in this order at-25 c, and the soft-pack cells of example 2 and example 3 had similar low temperature performance, indicating that the soft-pack cells of examples 1-5 had better low temperature performance than those of comparative examples 1-2.
As can be seen from comparison of examples 1, examples 4 to 5 and comparative examples 3 to 4, the soft-cap cell of comparative example 4 had a capacity retention rate of 200 weeks at a current of 5C, a capacity retention rate of 1000 weeks at a current of 30C, and a capacity retention rate of 0.33C, which were close to or identical to those of example 5, indicating that the increased multi-wall carbon nanotube of comparative example 4 did not significantly improve the cycle performance and low temperature performance of the soft-cap cell when the graphene nanotube was prepared, but increased the production cost of the soft-cap cell.
