Abstract:
The present invention relates to a cathode material for a nonaqueous lithium secondary battery using spherical cobalt hydroxide to inhibit the structural collapse of a final cathode material at a high voltage by preparing spherical cobalt hydroxide in which a dissimilar metal is uniformly substituted by using a precipitation reaction in a liquid phase, thereby improving lifetime characteristics even under high voltage charge/discharge conditions of 4.5 V. According to the present invention, it is possible to prepare spherical cobalt hydroxide having a particle size of 15-30 μm by precipitating a cobalt material, a hydroxyl group material, a dissimilar metal material for substitution and an amine-based material so as to have a composition represented by Co1-xMx(OH)2 (0.00≦x≦0.10, M=Al, Mg, Ti, and the like). Also, it is possible to prepare spherical cobalt oxide having a particle size of 10-25 μm by heat-treating the prepared cobalt hydroxide at 500-800° C.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a non-aqueous cathode material for lithium secondary batteries using a spherical transition metal complex carbonate, and a method for preparing same. According to the present invention, since the surface of a spherical transition metal complex carbonate, which is prepared by using a cobalt material, nickel material, manganese material, carboxyl group material, and ammonia material, is coated with titanium dioxide. In addition, by mixing the prepared, surface-coated transition metal complex carbonate with a lithium material and heat-treating the resultant material, it is possible to prepare a spherical Li-rich cathode material having a primary particle size of 200 nm or more, and a 0.1C capacity of 250 mAh/g or more, and capable of implementing 96% or more of the initial capacity in a full cell after charging and discharging 60 times.
