Lithium ion battery with high capacity

Abstract

The present invention discloses a lithium ion battery with high capacity, which comprises an cathode material, a anode material and an electrolyte. The cathode material has a chemical formula LiNiMeO, wherein x is 10to 10, and Me is a third metal other than Li and Ni. Said material has the advantages of high purity, high density and high delithiation capacity. The preparation method of the cathode material comprises: subjecting a nickel salt and an additive to chemical co-precipitation, calcining, and inducing of a crack structure with an inducing environment, an inducing chemical, or a combination thereof to give a precursor, which is mixed with LiO, sintered and crushed to give the cathode material. Through the inducing effect of the inducing environment or the inducing chemical, the crystal structure is changed, cracks are formed, and the volume of the crystal cell is further enlarged, so that lithium ions can react with NiO more sufficiently, thereby reducing the segregation, improving the purity and density of the prelithiating material, improving the delithiation capacity, and improving the overall electric capacity of the lithium ion battery.
