As can be seen from Table 1, the preparation method of the lithium iron phosphate precursor provided by the invention can reduce the impurity content in the ferric phosphate by recrystallizing ferrous sulfate crystals in the production process of titanium dioxide by a sulfuric acid method and washing the ferrous sulfate crystals by an ethanol solution; the carbon content of the iron phosphate graphene compound can be adjusted by adjusting the addition amount of sodium citrate, the iron-phosphorus ratio in comparative example 1 is reduced, and the impurity content such as Al, ca, mg, mn is increased; example 3 iron pyrophosphate formed due to the too high calcination temperature, iron phosphorus was relatively low; in comparative example 2, the carbon content of graphene is only 0.5%, and the iron-phosphorus ratio of the prepared iron phosphate product is not changed obviously after graphene is added.
Experimental example 2
Lithium iron phosphate precursors obtained in examples and comparative examples were respectively prepared into lithium iron phosphate, and then lithium iron phosphate was respectively prepared into button cells.
Preparing lithium iron phosphate: adding the dried ferric phosphate and graphene compound or ferric phosphate (Fe PO 4) solid and lithium carbonate into a ball milling tank according to the proportion of Li: fe=1.015:1 (the comparative example 2 also needs to be added with sucrose with the molar quantity of Fe being 10%), mixing, pouring water to prepare 40% solution, and ball milling for 4 hours through a planetary ball mill. Taking out the slurry, spray drying, roasting for 9 hours at 750 ℃ in a nitrogen atmosphere of a tube furnace, and performing carbothermic reduction to obtain LiFePO 4 And (3) crushing graphene, and sieving by a 100-mesh sieve to obtain a product.
Preparation of button cell: mixing PVDF, acetylene black and LiFePO4 powder in a mass ratio of 1:1:8, adding N-methyl pyrrolidone to prepare slurry, uniformly coating the slurry on an aluminum foil, taking out the slurry after vacuum drying, rolling and punching the slurry into a round electrode plate with the diameter of 12 mm. The coin cell was assembled in a glove box (high purity Ar atmosphere), and the electrolyte included: 1mol/L LiPF6, a volume ratio of DCM, EC, EMC is 1:1:1, a metal lithium sheet is adopted as a negative electrode, and a Celgard film is adopted as a diaphragm. The constant current charge-discharge cycle test of the button cell shows that the charge-discharge voltage is 2.5-4.2V. The results are shown in Table 2.
TABLE 2 electrochemical performance test results of lithium iron phosphate
As can be seen from table 2, after graphene materials with different proportions are added in the embodiment of the present invention, discharge capacities of 0.1C, 0.2C, 0.33C, 0.5C, 1C, 2C, and 5C are different, and rate capability of the lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material prepared by using the lithium iron phosphate precursor of embodiment 1 is better than that of embodiment 2 and embodiment 3; meanwhile, after graphene is added in the examples 1-4 to prepare the iron phosphate-graphene composite material, the multiplying power performance of the continuously prepared lithium iron phosphate material is superior to that of the lithium iron phosphate material prepared by the iron phosphate without graphene in the comparative example 2; whereas comparative example 1 had poor electrical properties due to higher impurity content.
Fig. 1 shows a complete comparison of the iron phosphate-graphene composite material prepared by the invention with an iron phosphate standard card, illustrating that a pure-phase iron phosphate material is prepared.
As can be seen from fig. 2, the lithium iron phosphate material prepared from the lithium iron phosphate precursor of the present invention is completely compared with the standard card of lithium iron phosphate, and the prepared lithium iron phosphate material is pure-phase lithium iron phosphate.
