Titanium-zirconium co-doped carbon-coated lithium iron phosphate material and production method and use thereof

Abstract

Provided is a titanium-zirconium co-doped carbon-coated lithium iron phosphate material and a production method and use thereof. The material has a chemical formula of Li1-yZryFe1-xTixPO4/C, wherein titanium is doped to Fe site, zirconium is doped to Li site, 0.001≤x≤0.05, and 0.001≤y≤0.02. The production method comprises mixing iron phosphate, lithium carbonate, a carbon source, a titanium source and a zirconium source in a liquid medium, ball-milling and sand-milling the mixture to a certain slurry particle size, spray-drying the slurry for granulation, and then sintering the dried spray material in an atmosphere furnace. In the present disclosure, by doping titanium and zirconium elements into carbon-coated lithium iron phosphate, the ion and electron transport capacity of lithium iron phosphate is effectively enhanced and the compaction density of the material is improved. The material is very suitable to be used as a positive electrode material for a lithium-ion power battery.
