Lithium salt-graphene-containing composite material and preparation method thereof

Abstract

A lithium salt-graphene-containing composite material and its preparation method are provided. The composite material has the microstructure which comprises carbon nanoparticles, lithium salt nanocrystals and graphene, wherein the surface of lithium salt nanocrystals is coated with carbon nanoparticles and graphene. The preparation method comprises concentrating and drying a mixed solution, then calcinating the solid. The lithium salt-graphene-containing composite material has excellent electric performance and stability since the problem of low electric performance resulted from carbon coating on the surface of lithium salt or coating imperfection resulted from graphene coating on the surface of lithium salt is effectively solved. For the more uniform and compacted combination between graphene and lithium salt nanocrystals, the graphene will not fall off and the composite material has a high capacity ratio, energy density and conductivity. Furthermore, particle agglomeration and growing up are reduced in the process of calcination.
