In recent years, the application of lithium ion batteries in large-scale energy storage is bottleneck due to the problems of lithium resource scarcity, uneven distribution, difficulty in development and utilization and the like. Meanwhile, because the natural sodium resource is abundant, widely distributed and low in cost, the sodium ion battery has great potential in the field of large-scale energy storage, and the research hot tide is lifted again. The working principle of the sodium ion battery is similar to that of a rocking chair type lithium ion battery proposed by Armand et al in 1980, namely Na is utilized+Reversible storage between positive and negative electrode materials to realize charging and discharging.
The key to the development of sodium ion batteries is to find suitable anode and cathode materials. The negative electrode materials mainly studied at present include carbon-based, titanium-based, organic, alloy and transition types.

It should be noted that the drawings provided in the following embodiments are only for illustrating the basic idea of the present invention in a schematic way, and the features in the following embodiments and examples may be combined with each other without conflict.
Example 1
An amorphous carbon material with a multi-layer gradient microstructure (an amorphous carbon material with an N-doped gradient structure and a surface coated with metal copper (Cu)) is prepared by the following steps:
(1) dissolving 22g of glucose as a carbon source in 60mL of deionized water to form a solution with the concentration of 2mol/L, adding 1g of nonmetal dopant urea, stirring and dispersing in a beaker for 30min until the solution is clear and transparent, carrying out hydrothermal reaction for 24h at 180 ℃, after naturally cooling to normal temperature, taking out a product, carrying out suction filtration and washing for 3 times by using 1000mL of deionized water, and drying in a forced air drying oven at 60 ℃ overnight to obtain a precursor of the nitrogen atom (N) doped disordered carbon sodium storage layer;
(2) adding 60 wt.% of solid-content polytetrafluoroethylene concentrated dispersion liquid (the added carbon source is polytetrafluoroethylene, the mass of the added carbon source is equal to that of the glucose in the step (1)) into the nitrogen atom (N) doped disordered carbon sodium storage layer precursor, stirring to uniformly mix the polytetrafluoroethylene concentrated dispersion liquid and the carbon source, transferring the mixture into a 100mL polytetrafluoroethylene reaction kettle, carrying out hydrothermal reaction at 180 ℃ for 24 hours, and naturally cooling to normal temperature to obtain a composite precursor of the ordered carbon-coated nitrogen (N) atom doped disordered carbon sodium storage layer;
(3) dissolving the composite precursor in deionized water, and adding 0.2g of CuSO4·5H2O and an auxiliary agent (wherein the auxiliary agent comprises 5g of surfactant sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate, 2g of acid-base regulator sodium hydroxide and 1g of reducing agent formaldehyde), stirring for 15min at 80 ℃ to uniformly mix, heating at 100 ℃ to evaporate a solvent, and drying to obtain a composite precursor with a metal conducting layer (nano Cu particles) coated on the surface;
(4) and (2) placing the composite precursor with the surface coated with the metal conductive layer (nano Cu particles) in a high-temperature tube furnace for annealing treatment under the protection of argon, wherein the flow rate is 50mL/min, the heating rate is 5 ℃/min, heating to 1200 ℃, keeping the temperature for 3h, naturally cooling to room temperature, and taking out to obtain a product, thereby obtaining the amorphous carbon material (GSCS) with the N-doped gradient structure and the surface coated with metal copper (Cu)) with the multilayer gradient microstructure.
Comparative example 1
The precursor of the nitrogen atom (N) -doped disordered sodium-storage layer prepared in step (1) of example 1 was subjected to the treatment in example (4), to obtain a comparative material (CS) having no gradient structure.
Fig. 1 is an XRD comparison pattern of the N-doped gradient structure and the amorphous carbon material (GSCS) coated with metallic copper (Cu) prepared in example 1 and the comparative material (CS) prepared in comparative example 1. As can be seen from fig. 1, GSCS and CS both have two distinct characteristic peaks corresponding to the (002) crystal plane and the (100) crystal plane of the disordered carbon material, respectively. GSCS does not exhibit a distinct diffraction peak for metallic Cu due to its low content and nano-size.
Performance testing
The N-doped gradient structure and the amorphous carbon material (GSCS) coated with metallic copper (Cu) prepared in example 1 and the comparative material (CS) prepared in comparative example 1 were used to prepare a sodium ion battery to test the performance thereof, and the specific procedures were as follows:
(1) mixing and grinding the N-doped gradient structure prepared in example 1, the amorphous carbon material (GSCS) with the surface coated with the metal copper (Cu) and the comparative material (CS) prepared in comparative example 1 with sodium alginate according to a mass ratio of 9:1, and adding deionized water for wet grinding until slurry can pass through a 200-mesh stainless steel screen;
(2) respectively coating the two kinds of slurry ground in the step (1) on copper foil by using a wet film coater, controlling the thickness to be 200 mu m, and then transferring the copper foil to a vacuum oven at 120 ℃ for drying for 12 h;
(3) cutting the two pole pieces in the step (2) into 12mM small round pieces are transferred into a glove box filled with argon, and the button cell assembly is carried out by adding 150 mu L of electrolyte according to the sequence of a negative electrode shell, an elastic piece, a gasket, a metal sodium piece, a diaphragm, a current collector and a positive electrode shell (the model of the used button cell is CR2032, the diaphragm is a glass fiber diaphragm, and the electrolyte is 1M NaPF6Ethylene glycol dimethyl ether electrolyte);
(4) after the assembly, the two button cells were removed from the glove box, left to stand at room temperature for 8 hours, and then subjected to electrochemical performance testing on a LAND cell testing system.
Fig. 2 is a comparison graph of electrochemical charge and discharge curves at room temperature of button cells prepared using the N-doped gradient structure and the amorphous carbon material (GSCS) coated with metallic copper (Cu) prepared in example 1 and the comparative material (CS) prepared in comparative example 1. As can be seen from fig. 2, the amorphous carbon material (GSCS) having the N-doped gradient structure and the surface-coated metallic copper (Cu) exhibited higher krf capacity and first coulombic efficiency in the constant current charge and discharge test, compared to the comparative material (CS) prepared in comparative example 1. The specific gram capacities of the N-doped gradient structure prepared in example 1 and the amorphous carbon material (GSCS) coated with metallic copper (Cu) in the surface thereof and the comparative material (CS) prepared in comparative example 1 were 278.1mAh/g and 233.6mAh/g, respectively, and the first coulombic efficiencies were 89.2% and 84.2%, respectively, at a current density of 150 mA/g. The overall disordering of the microstructure is beneficial to the storage of sodium ions, and the structural characteristic of the external ordered and internal disordered structure can reduce the defect concentration of the material while ensuring the sodium storage capacity, so that the irreversible reaction between the material and the electrolyte is reduced, and the first coulomb efficiency of the material is improved.
Example 2
An amorphous carbon material with a multilayer gradient microstructure (an amorphous carbon material with a P-doped gradient structure and surface coated with magnesium (Mg)) is prepared by the following steps:

(2) dispersing the precursor of the phosphorus atom (P) doped disordered carbon sodium storage layer into a mixed solution formed by deionized water and ethanol in a volume ratio of 1:1, adding asphalt which is 1% of the mass fraction of the sucrose and serves as a carbon source, stirring the mixture until the solution is uniformly mixed, evaporating the solvent from the mixed solution at 80 ℃, naturally cooling the mixture to the normal temperature, taking out the product, performing suction filtration and washing on the product for 3 times by using 1000mL of deionized water, and drying the product in a 60 ℃ forced air drying oven for 12 hours to obtain a composite precursor of the ordered carbon-coated phosphorus (P) atom doped disordered carbon sodium storage layer;
(3) dispersing the composite precursor in deionized water, adding 0.5g MgCl2And an adjuvant (wherein the adjuvant is sodium ethylene diamine tetracetate (Na) serving as a surfactant2EDTA)2g), stirring at 60 ℃ for reaction for 1h, filtering, washing to neutrality, and drying to obtain a compound precursor with the surface coated with the Mg-EDTA compound;
(4) and heating the compound precursor coated with the Mg-EDTA compound on the surface to 500 ℃ at the speed of 2 ℃/min in a mixed gas formed by 10% of hydrogen and 90% of argon, preserving the heat for 1h at the temperature of 500 ℃, then heating to 1000 ℃ at the speed of 5 ℃/min, preserving the heat for 2h at the temperature of 1000 ℃, and taking out after naturally cooling to obtain the amorphous carbon material (the amorphous carbon material with a P-doped gradient structure and the surface coated with metal magnesium (Mg)) with a multilayer gradient microstructure (GSCS).
Comparative example 2

Fig. 3 is sem (a) and TEM (b and c) images of an amorphous carbon material (GSCS) having a P-doped gradient structure and surface-coated metallic magnesium (Mg) prepared in example 2. As can be seen from fig. 3, the SEM image shows that the amorphous carbon material (GSCS) having the P-doped gradient structure and the surface coated with magnesium metal (Mg) prepared in example 2 has a spherical structure, and the TEM image shows that the amorphous carbon material (GSCS) having the P-doped gradient structure and the surface coated with magnesium metal (Mg) prepared in example 2 has an obvious gradient structure, the surface carbon layers have a long length and are arranged in order, and the internal carbon layers have a short length and are arranged in order.
Performance testing
The amorphous carbon material (GSCS) having a P-doped gradient structure and coated with magnesium metal (Mg) prepared in example 2 and the comparative material (CS) prepared in comparative example 2 were prepared into an electrode and a sodium ion battery according to the method for testing the performance of example 1, and then subjected to electrochemical testing at-10 c, with the results shown in fig. 4. As can be seen from the results of the performance test of fig. 4: under the current density of 30mA/g, the comparative material (CS) shows large capacity attenuation, the specific capacity of the comparative material (CS) is only 86.7mAh/g after 10 circles of operation, and the capacity retention rate is 37.1 percent of that of the comparative material at normal temperature; however, the specific capacity of the amorphous carbon material (GSCS) with the P-doped gradient structure and the surface coated with the magnesium metal (Mg) is 274.6mAh/g after 10 circles of operation, and the capacity retention rate is 98.7%.
Example 3
An amorphous carbon material with a multi-layer gradient microstructure (an amorphous carbon material with an F-doped gradient structure and a surface coated with metal manganese (Mn)) is prepared by the following steps:
(1) adding 50mL of polytetrafluoroethylene with the mass fraction of 5 wt.% into 100mL of lignin aqueous solution (with the mass fraction of 5 wt.%) as a nonmetal dopant, and stirring and dispersing until the solution is clear and transparent;
(2) continuously adding 300mL of olive oil and 1 wt.% of phenolic resin aqueous solution, stirring for 2h at 85 ℃, centrifuging to remove redundant olive oil, and washing for 6 times by using n-hexane to obtain a phosphorus atom (P) doped disordered sodium carbonate layer precursor;
(3) dissolving the composite precursor in deionized water, and adding 0.02g of MnSO4Stirring and reacting for 24h at room temperature with an auxiliary agent (wherein the auxiliary agent is 1.5 hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB)), filtering, washing for 6 times, and drying to obtain a composite precursor with the surface coated with the Mn-CTAB composite;
(4) heating the composite precursor with the surface coated with the Mn-CTAB composite to 350 ℃ at the speed of 1 ℃/min under the nitrogen atmosphere, preserving heat for 5h at 350 ℃, then heating to 1300 ℃ at the speed of 10 ℃/min, preserving heat for 1h at 1300 ℃, and taking out after naturally cooling to obtain the target product, namely the amorphous carbon material (GSCS) with the multilayer gradient microstructure, wherein the amorphous carbon material has an F-doped gradient structure and the surface coated with metal manganese (Mn).
Comparative example 3
The precursor of the disordered carbon sodium storage layer doped with the fluorine atoms (F) prepared in the step (2) of example 3 is directly processed by the method of the step (4), so as to obtain the comparative material (CS).
Fig. 5 shows Raman comparison graphs of the amorphous carbon material (GSCS) having the F-doped gradient structure and the surface-coated metal manganese (Mn) prepared in example 3 and the comparative material (CS) prepared in comparative example 3. As can be seen in FIG. 5, both materials exhibit broader D and G peaks, indicating that both carbon materials contain a more defective SP at the same time3Carbon and SP with high degree of graphitization2Carbon. Through careful analysis, it was found that I of the amorphous carbon material (GSCS) having an F-doped gradient structure and surface-coated metal manganese (Mn) prepared in example 3 was compared to that of the comparative material (CS) prepared in comparative example 3D/IGSlightly smaller, indicating a higher degree of order, probably due to the manganese atoms being able to catalyze the graphitization of the carbon material.
Performance testing
The amorphous carbon material (GSCS) having the F-doped gradient structure and the surface coated with manganese metal (Mn) of example 3 and the comparative material (CS) prepared in comparative example 3 were prepared into an electrode and a sodium ion battery according to the performance test method of example 1, and then subjected to an electrochemical test at-20 c, and the test results are shown in fig. 6.
