Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a material suitable for producing a positive electrode of a battery, and more particularly to a composite material suitable for the positive electrode of a secondary battery and prepared therefrom battery. [Prior Art] With the diversified development of electronic products, the demand for portable energy sources has increased, such as consumer electronics, medical equipment, electric bicycles, electric vehicles, electric hand tools, etc. Power supply as its power source. At present, portable energy sources are widely used in reusable secondary batteries, and in the existing secondary battery types, lithium ion secondary batteries have high volumetric specific capacitance, no pollution, and good cycle charge and discharge characteristics. The memory effect and other advantages are more promising. Moreover, the factors affecting the performance of the lithium ion secondary battery are critical for the material used to make the positive electrode. Among the known materials for making the positive electrode of the battery, the lithium iron phosphate compound or the same structure is the same. a compound such as LiMP04, a transition metal such as manganese (Μη), cobalt (C〇), or nickel (Ni) (hereinafter, a lithium iron phosphate compound and its isomorphous compound are collectively referred to as a lithium iron phosphate-like compound), Good electrochemical characteristics, no environmental pollution, better safety, rich raw material source, high specific capacity, good cycle performance and thermal stability, high charge and discharge efficiency, etc., and is considered to be a probable lithium ion battery positive electrode. One of the materials. However, there are still some differences between the electrochemical properties of currently known lithium iron phosphate-like compounds and theoretical values. Taking the capacity as an example, the theoretical value of the lithium iron phosphate-like compound 5 1323522 can reach 17 〇 mAh/g, but the capacity of a lithium iron phosphate compound disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5, (4), 382 is only about 120 mAh/ g, far below the value of Lina. In order to improve the capacity characteristics of lithium iron phosphate compounds, most of them are used to maintain the compound's oligo; s structure or NASI (10) structure to replace or completely replace the halogen, such as a clock, iron or dish, in the acid of the bell acid. It is more common to replace the iron metal in the capacity '纟, for example, US Patent Nos. 6,716,372, us 6, 8i5, i22, and the like. Since the elements used to replace the iron metal are generally less accessible, the cost of the raw materials is still relatively limited in terms of cost considerations for industrial applications. In addition, U.S. Patent No. 6,6,32,566 discloses the use of an increase in the specific surface area of a scaly bell powder compound powder to facilitate the diffusion of u+ into the material, thereby making it possible to provide the same amount. Although the capacitance described in the examples can reach about 163 mAh/g, the compound powder still has a large particle size and uneven distribution, so that it cannot be charged and discharged at a high current, and According to the data calculation, the charge and discharge rate of the battery is about i/37 c, which is still slow in practical application, and there is room for improvement. Therefore, the applicant's application No. 94115023 in the Republic of China on May 1st, 2005, provides a method for preparing a UxMyP〇4 compound having a 撖k stone structure by mixing an ion source in a solution. Then, the solution is dried to obtain a starting material, and the starting material is heat-treated in a non-oxidizing atmosphere containing carbon particles to prepare a LixMyP〇4 compound. The LixMyPCMt obtained by the method can have a powder having a small particle size and a uniform distribution. [Invention] 6 1323522 The present invention is a non-oxidizing atmosphere using carbonaceous particles disclosed in the specification of the prior application. The heat treatment of 捍敎虚成 into the lamp is based on the technical content of the olivine-structured LWCMt compound prepared by reducing the M3+ in the reaction starting material to Μ2+. Since the present invention is subjected to heat treatment in a non-oxidizing atmosphere containing particles, the carbon particles in the atmosphere can be used to suppress the grain growth of the starting material during the heat treatment, so that the prepared compound powder At the same time, there are a small amount of carbon particles (4) attached to the surface of the partial-subparticles during the heat treatment and further by the secondary particles and the blending The carbon formation between the secondary particles includes a composite powder having a particle size of up to 1 micron (μηι) with a second particle. The composite powder is used as a secondary material. When the material of the positive electrode of the pool is used, the conductivity of the W intercalation and deintercalation process is increased due to the carbon exchange between the primary particles of the compound in the composite material, and the presence of the Tai-sub particles and the micro-order secondary particles are also present. The powder has a larger ratio than Table 2. Therefore, the capacitance of the battery can be effectively increased. In addition, since the composite material has secondary particles having a large particle diameter and the particles are uniformly distributed, it is easy to

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION Particle size analysis Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the composite material powder obtained in Example D was observed by a scanning electron microscope 'magnified by 5000 times (magnified by 1 〇〇〇〇 and 1 ( (Fig. 2)) It is shown that the composite powder of Example D is agglomerated by a uniform primary particle of about 50 to 10 〇 nm to form a secondary particle larger than i 〇 (jm or more. Further, 10 g of the composite powder of Example D is used. The particle size analyzer analyzes the particle size distribution. As shown in Fig. 3, the particle distribution range ((1)(10) to 〇η%): D10 is about 33.7μηι, D20 is about 27.6μηι, D30 is about 23 8μηι, and D50 is about 18.3. Ηηι, D80 is about 1 ΐμπι, D90 is about 7 〇Jim, and it can be inferred from the value of D50 that the secondary particles of the composite powder of Example D are of the grade size 'and the single peak' shows that the particle size distribution is quite uniform. 13 1323522 4 is a magnified 5000-fold image of the composite powder prepared in Example 以 by a scanning electron microscope, and the image thereof is similar to that of FIG. 1, and it can be seen that the composite powder obtained in the example 也是 is also uniform 50. ~100nm or so The particles agglomerated to form secondary particles larger than 10 μηι. Specific surface area analysis The composite powder prepared in Example , was subjected to the BET (Brunauer- at 77 °C) using a nitrogen isotherm adsorption/desorption curve principle. Emmett-Teller) specific surface area. From the test results, the specific surface area can reach 38.42 m2 / g. In addition, the composite powder prepared in the example 测 can be measured to have a specific surface area of 39 m 2 /g. In comparison with the examples of U.S. Patent No. 6,632,566, the specific surface area obtained by heat treatment at 700 ° C is only about 2.5 m 2 /g, and the specific surface area of the composite powder of the present invention is remarkably improved. The composite powders prepared in Examples F, G, and Η were mixed with a block of carbon black and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) in a ratio of 83:10:7 to a slurry, and then uniformly coated on an aluminum foil. After drying, a suitable positive electrode test piece is prepared, and a 2032 button type buckle battery is formed with lithium metal, and the charge and discharge cycle is tested by a charge and discharge machine at a charge and discharge rate of 0.2 C between 2.8 V and 4.0 V. .Test Results 5, Fig. 6, and Fig. 7. As shown in Fig. 5, after the composite material powder obtained in Example F is made into a positive electrode sheet, the initial electric capacity can reach 152 mAh/g, and after 10 cycles, The capacitance can still be maintained above 100%. Figure 6 shows that after the composite powder prepared in Example G is made into a positive electrode sheet, its capacitance is as high as 167 mAh/g 14 1323522, which is close to the theoretical capacity of the material of 170 mAh/g. As shown in FIG. 7, the positive electrode sheet made of the composite material powder obtained in the example Η has a capacity of 162 mAh/g after 10 times of charge and discharge. It can be seen that the present invention consists of a small particle size primary particle composed of a large particle size secondary particle powder type, which has a high specific surface area and contributes to an increase in capacitance, and facilitates dispersion of the slurry when the electrode is fabricated. With coating. Full Battery Test The composite powders prepared in Example F were mixed and applied to the plates with different solvents and binders, and then made into full cells, and their electrical properties were tested at different charge and discharge rates. Battery 1 The composite powder was thoroughly mixed with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and carbon powder in a ratio of 85:12:3 to NMP solvent with a viscosity of 4000 mPa·s, and then coated on an aluminum foil plate and passed through 100°. After drying C, the thickness was 132 um, and there was no powder drop at all, and the plate was cut to form a prismatic battery. The negative electrode material used in the battery was a carbon material, and the electrolyte was a solution containing 1 mol/L of LiPF6/ethylene carbonate/diethyl carbonate (EC/DEC). Then, they were tested at different charge and discharge rates of 0.2C, 0.5C, 1C, 2C, 3C and 5C. As shown in Figure 8 (the curve in the figure is viewed in the transverse direction, the curve of the discharge rate of 0.2C, 0.5C, 1C, 2C, 3C and 5C from top to bottom respectively), the battery is at different charge and discharge rates, It can effectively charge and discharge, and the capacitance at the time of 5C discharge still has 87% of the 0.2C discharge capacity. It is understood that the present invention consists of a small particle size primary particle composed of a large particle size secondary particle powder type, which is easy to apply. The advantage of cloth on the plate, 15 1323522 can achieve such a high charge and discharge rate. Battery 2 The composite powder with styrene-butadiene rubber 'SBR, methyl cellulose (Carboxy methyl cellul〇se, CMC) and carbon powder 95..1.5:0.5:3 The ratio is fully mixed in deionized water, the viscosity is 4000mPa.s, and then coated on the aluminum crucible plate and dried at 80 ° C, the thickness is 200 um, and there is no powder drop phenomenon. Cut to form a 1865 〇 battery. The negative electrode material used for the battery was a carbon material, and the electrolyte was an EC/DEC solution containing LiPF6 lmol/L. Then, they were tested at different charge and discharge rates of 0.5C, 1C, 2C, 5C and 8C. As shown in Figure 9 (the curve in the figure is viewed in the transverse direction, the curve of the discharge rate of 0.5C, 1C, 2C, 5C and 8C from top to bottom respectively), the battery can be effectively charged at different charge and discharge rates. The discharge was discharged, and the capacitance at the time of discharge at 8c was still 9% of the 0.5 C discharge capacity. It can be seen from the batteries 1 and 2 that the powder form of the secondary particles of large particle size composed of primary particles having a small particle size has the advantage of being easily applied to the electrode plate, and can be coated with different solvents and binders. The composite material powder of the present invention can be effectively applied to an electrode plate, and can be mixed especially in deionized water, which is not possible in the prior art, and thus has excellent industrial applicability. Further, in summary, the present invention is applicable to a reconstituted material for producing a positive electrode of a secondary battery, the powder of which has nano-sized primary particles, and the primary particles having the same size as the micro-particles and having the same particle size distribution can be The material surface area of the material is greatly increased, and the effect of increasing the capacitance is further enhanced. At the same time, the solvent and the spotting agent can be applied to the electrode plate, which is not only convenient for fabrication, but the battery formed by 16 1323522 can have a high charge and discharge rate and a high height. The capacity of the battery can be reduced by overcharging or overdischarging to increase the battery life, and the object of the present invention can be achieved. However, the above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, that is, the simple equivalent changes and modifications made by the present invention in accordance with the scope of the invention and the description of the invention. It is within the scope of the patent of the present invention.
