BYD Blade Battery Technology for Enhanced Safety and Longevity

Method to prepare high density lithium iron phosphate (LFP) positive electrode material for lithium ion batteries with improved specific capacity and energy density. The method involves mixing two forms of LFP, one with spherical morphology and the other with irregular morphology, in equal mass ratio. The spherical LFP is made by conventional slurry processing and sintering. The irregular LFP is made by the same slurry processing, sintering, and then crushing. The mixed LFP has higher compaction density compared to either form alone due to the irregular LFP filling gaps between spherical particles.

Preparation method for lithium manganese iron phosphate (LiMnxFe1-xP4) cathode material for lithium-ion batteries that provides homogeneous, single-phase crystalline LiMnxFe1-xP4. The method involves co-precipitating ferromanganese and divalent manganese salts in an aqueous solution, followed by adding lithium salt and phosphate to form a mixed precursor solution. The precursor is then aged and heat treated to convert into LiMnxFe1-xP4. This method avoids high-temperature solid-state synthesis and traditional hydrothermal methods to obtain uniform, single-phase LiMnxFe1-xP4 particles.

Preparing LiFePO4/carbon composite cathode material for lithium batteries with enhanced electrical properties by using annealing and sintering steps. The method involves providing a mixture of lithium, iron, phosphorus, and carbon compounds, annealing it in an oxidizing atmosphere, and then sintering it under inert conditions. The annealing distributes carbon among the lithium iron phosphate particles and promotes uniform particle distributions. The sintering further densifies the material. The annealing before and/or after sintering steps help avoid air bubbles and rapid thermal changes.

Preparing lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) for lithium-ion batteries without using inert gas during sintering to avoid impurities. The method involves sintering a mixture of lithium, iron, phosphorus, and carbon sources in a static, normal pressure inert atmosphere. The static atmosphere protects the iron from oxidation without continuously introducing inert gas. This prevents impurities like Fe2P. The sintering steps are first at 300-450°C for 4-15 hours, then 600-800°C for 10-25 hours.

Preparation method for lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) as a positive electrode material for lithium-ion batteries that provides uniform particle size and improved battery performance compared to conventional methods. The method involves mixing lithium, iron, phosphorus, carbon, and solvent (water and/or organic solvent) sources, then drying and sintering the mixture. The key steps are using water or water-soluble organic solvent as the solvent, ferric oxide as the iron source, and phosphoric acid as the phosphorus source. This enables better separation of elements during drying and prevents agglomeration, resulting in smaller, more uniform LiFePO4 particles for higher capacity and better battery performance.
