    摘要: An electrochemical apparatus, including a positive electrode plate, the positive electrode plate includes a positive electrode active material. When a state of charge of the electrochemical apparatus ranges from 90% to 100%, a DSC curve of the positive electrode plate has a first exothermic peak A1 and a second exothermic peak A2 in a temperature range of 150° C. to 400° C.; where based on a mass of the positive electrode active material, the first exothermic peak A1 is an exothermic peak closest to 400° C. with a peak intensity greater than 0.1 mW/mg, the second exothermic peak A2 is an exothermic peak closest to 150° C. with a peak intensity greater than 0.1 mW/mg, a difference between a peak position Ta of the first exothermic peak A1 and a peak position Tb of the second exothermic peak A2 ranges from 20° C. to 150° C. The electrochemical apparatus has good cycling, rate, and safety performances.

    摘要: Provided is a preparation method for a layered cobalt-free positive electrode material, the method comprising the steps: (1) mixing a lithium salt, a nickel source, a manganese source, a dopant and a solvent, and subjecting same to wet ball milling to obtain a mixed slurry; (2) spray drying the mixed slurry to obtain a precursor; and (3) carrying out one instance of calcination on the precursor in an oxygen-containing atmosphere to obtain the layered cobalt-free positive electrode material. Further provided are a layered cobalt-free positive electrode material, which is obtained by the preparation method, and a lithium-ion battery containing the layered cobalt-free positive electrode material. In the preparation method, an expensive cobalt element is replaced with a specific type of doping element, and wet ball milling and spray drying processes are used cooperatively, such that not only bulk phase doping can be realized, but also, a c-axis increases, layering is more obvious, and lithium-nickel mixing is reduced when crystals are formed in the material, thereby improving the stability of the material, and excellent electrochemical performance is obtained.
