Abstract

The present disclosure provides a lithium manganate positive electrode active material, comprising a lithium manganate matrix and a cladding layer, where the cladding layer comprises an organic bonding material, one or more A-type salts, and one or more B-type salts. The lithium manganate positive electrode active material of the present disclosure significantly reduces the content of transition metal manganese ions within a battery through combined action of the organic bonding material, the A-type salts, and the B-type salts, thereby slowing down the decomposition and consumption of the SEI film (solid electrolyte interphase) by transition metal manganese, and improving the capacity retention rate and impedance performance of the battery.

Claims (30)

comprising a lithium manganate matrix and a cladding layer, the cladding layer cladding the lithium manganate matrix;

the cladding layer comprising:

an organic bonding material;

one or more A-type salts selected from the group consisting of oxalate, lactate, tartrate, and edetate; and

one or more B-type salts selected from the group consisting of silicate, sulfate, and phosphate.

2. The lithium manganate positive electrode active material according to claim 1 , wherein,

the organic bonding material is selected from one or more of the group consisting of carboxymethyl cellulose salt, alginate, and polyacrylate.

3. The lithium manganate positive electrode active material according to claim 1 , wherein,

the organic bonding material is selected from one or more of the group consisting of styrene butadiene rubber, polyacrylic acid, polyacrylamide, polyvinyl alcohol, polymethacrylic acid, and carboxymethyl chitosan.

4. The lithium manganate positive electrode active material according to claim 1 , wherein,

a mass ratio of the organic bonding material to the lithium manganate matrix is (0.01-5):100.

5. The lithium manganate positive electrode active material according to claim 1 , wherein,

a ratio of a mass sum of the one or more A-type salts and the one or more B-type salts to mass of the lithium manganate matrix is (0.1-20):100.

6. The lithium manganate positive electrode active material according to claim 1 , wherein,

a mass ratio of the B-type salt to the A-type salt is (0.01-95):1.
