Abstract

The lithium ferrous silicate (Li2FeSiO4) has high theoretical capacity of 330 mAh/g, abundant raw material resources, stable working voltage, excellent thermal stability of Si-O bond, environmental protection and low cost, and has become one of the attractive cathode materials in high-energy lithium batteries. However, the conductivity of Li2FeSiO4 material itself is poor, and the ionic conductivity is low, so improving the conductivity and Li+ diffusion coefficient of the material has become the focus of research. In this paper, Li2FeSiO4 material was synthesized by the combination of sol-gel method and solid-state sintering method, and the nano-material and metal ion doping were realized by liquid-phase grinding method, which increased the specific surface area and conductivity of the material and increased the specific energy of the material. XRD, TGDSC, particle size analysis and electrochemical capacity test show that the specific capacity of the initial Li2FeSiO4 material synthesized in solid phase is 120 mAh/g, and the capacity of the nano-treated Li2FeSiO4 material reaches 140mah/g; The Li2Fe0.5Mn0.5SiO4 material obtained by Mn doping has a capacity of 160mah/g; The volume of Li2Fe0.5Mn0.45Ti0.05SiO4 synthesized by adding metal Ti is increased to 195mah/g; The electrical conductivity of Li2Fe0.5Mn0.5Si0.975V0.025O4+C synthesized by doping v and c can be significantly improved, and the discharge capacity can reach about 200mAh/g. In the liquid phase grinding of the mixture of ethanol and acetone, it was found that the tautomers of alcohol and ketone were in the dynamic equilibrium of ketone and enol, and acetone met positively charged metal ions to form stable metal salts, which improved the stability of the material.
