Description

Sodium ion battery positive electrode material and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of batteries, and relates to a sodium ion battery anode material, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Although the lithium ion battery has been widely used in the fields of electric automobiles and the like, the lithium ion battery also faces some difficult problems, and is difficult to completely solve in a short period of time, for example, a lithium ion battery has a plurality of side reactions besides normal charge and discharge reactions; the lithium resources are distributed in the crust at lower content, and the price of the lithium resources is higher and higher with the annual increase of the consumption. Currently, 70% of lithium resources are distributed in south america, china is a large country for manufacturing lithium ion batteries, 80% of lithium resources are imported in a dependent manner, and therefore development of new energy battery industry in China is limited.
Sodium ion batteries are used for the same working principle and positive electrode materials as lithium ion batteries, and sodium resources are widely distributed in the crust, are simple and easily obtained, so that the cost of the sodium resources is low. The sodium ion battery is an important component of low-cost high-safety energy storage facilities, and development of a stable sodium ion battery anode material is a problem to be solved urgently.
In the sodium ion battery positive electrode material, the P2 type positive electrode material has low content of sodium, so the capacity is low, while the O3 type positive electrode material has high content of sodium, but is difficult to exist stably in air, so the manufacturing of the battery is difficult. Meanwhile, the problem of dissolution of transition metal easily occurs in the circulating process of the anode material, and the circulating stability of the material is affected.
In the synthesis process of sodium ion batteries, a solid phase method is usually adopted, and CN110729475A discloses a layered and tunnel-shaped mixed structure sodium ion battery anode material, a preparation method thereof and a sodium ion battery, wherein the preparation method comprises the following steps: mixing a sodium source, an iron source and a manganese source according to a molar ratio, and grinding to obtain mixed powder; calcining the mixed powder for the first time to obtain an intermediate product; and grinding the intermediate product, and then performing secondary calcination to obtain the sodium ion battery anode material. CN114203949a discloses a layered manganese-based sodium ion battery positive electrode material, a preparation method and application, the preparation method comprises: (1) Adopts a high-temperature solid phase synthesis method according to Na 0.72 Li 0.12 Zn 0.18 Mn 0.7 O 2 Stoichiometric ratio of each chemical element in the raw materialsMaterial preparation; (2) Weighing the raw materials, uniformly mixing, and putting the raw materials into a planetary ball mill for ball milling; (3) Putting the mixture after ball milling into a tabletting grinding tool to be pressed into tablets; (4) Calcining the pressed sample at high temperature in air, sintering in a box-type furnace, heating to 900 ℃ at a heating rate of 3-8 ℃/min, preserving heat for 12 hours, and cooling the sample to room temperature along with the furnace after sintering is completed; (5) Taking out the sample after sintering once, putting the sample into a mortar for grinding to obtain powder, and pressing the powder into tablets according to the same steps as the step (3); (6) Calcining the pressed sample again in air, heating to 700 ℃ at a heating rate of 5 ℃/min, preserving heat for 12 hours, and cooling the sample to room temperature along with a furnace after sintering is completed to obtain the layered manganese-based sodium ion battery anode material.
However, the solid phase method has a disadvantage in that the mixing of oxides is not uniform during the synthesis process, so that oxide impurity phase occurs during calcination, which affects the electrical properties of the material.
Therefore, the sodium ion battery positive electrode material which reduces the dissolution of transition metal and has less impurity phase is provided, and has great significance for the development of sodium ion batteries.

TABLE 1

As is clear from a comparison of example 1 and example 3, an excessively large particle size of the raw material decreases the purity of the material, resulting in a decrease in the first discharge capacity and cycle performance.
As can be seen from a comparison of example 1 with example 4, the ultrasonic time is too short, which affects the effect of opening agglomerates in the raw material, reduces the pure phase of the material, resulting in a decrease in the first discharge capacity and cycle performance.
As can be seen from comparison of examples 1 and examples 5 to 6, the dispersion has a preferable range of solid content, and the solid content is in the range of 30% -50%, which is favorable for obtaining better ultrasonic dispersion effect and wet ball milling/sanding effect, further improving the material purity and the dispersion uniformity of transition elements, obtaining proper particle size, and further improving the first discharge capacity and the cycle performance.
As is clear from the comparison between example 1 and comparative example 1, the annealing effect cannot be achieved by adopting a natural cooling mode without controlling the cooling rate, and the crystallinity of the product is poor, so that the initial effect and the cycle performance are greatly reduced.
As is evident from the comparison of example 1 with comparative example 2, no sonication was performed, resulting in a decrease in the first effect and cycle performance.
As can be seen from the comparison of example 1 and comparative example 3, too fast a cooling rate cannot achieve an effective annealing effect, resulting in a decrease in initial efficiency and cycle performance.
As can be seen from the comparison of example 1 and comparative example 4, wet ball milling/grinding can better improve the initial efficiency and cycle performance of the material compared to dry ball milling.
