China is a major producer of lithium battery materials, and lithium batteries have been widely used in fields such as mobile phones, laptops, digital cameras, model airplanes, electric toys, electronic devices, electric vehicles, and hybrid vehicles. The performance of lithium-ion batteries mainly depends on the properties of the internal materials used, including positive electrode materials, negative electrode materials, electrolytes, separators, etc. The selection and quality of positive electrode materials directly determine the performance and price of lithium-ion batteries. The current research on positive electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries includes lithium cobalt oxide (Li ℃ oO2), lithium manganese oxide (LiMnO2), lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4), lithium nickel oxide (LiNiO2), etc. There are currently two production processes for lithium-ion battery cathode materials: airflow pulverizer production process and mechanical pulverizer production process The performance comparison of batteries produced from several materials is as follows: Battery composition | Lithium Iron Phosphate | Lithium cobalt oxide | Lithium manganate | Nickel cobalt lithium | safety | the best | poor stability | Acceptable | Poor stability | Environmental requirements | conform to | unsafe | Acceptable | unsafe | Number of cycles | the best | Acceptable | poor | Acceptable | energy density | Acceptable | good | Acceptable | worst | Long term usage cost | most economical | tall | Acceptable | tall | Temperature tolerance | The optimal temperature range (-400 ℃ -700 ℃) can still be used normally | Decline above 550 ℃ or below -200 ℃ | Rapid decline above 500 ℃ | Decline above 550 ℃ or below -200 ℃ |
