Detailed Description
The present invention will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which preferred embodiments are shown, for the purpose of illustrating the invention, but the scope of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments shown.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used hereinafter have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the scope of the present invention.
Unless otherwise specifically indicated, the various raw materials, reagents, instruments, equipment and the like used in the present invention are commercially available or may be prepared by existing methods.
The invention firstly provides a NiCo-PBA modified potassium ion battery anode material precursor, wherein the precursor has a two-layer structure, the inner layer is NiCo-PBA, and the outer layer is nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary material.
The NiCo-PBA polymer has a cubic structure with smooth surface, a rough edge compared with the surface, and has the characteristics of a three-dimensional open structure, small primary nano particle size and large specific surface area, and can increase available active sites, and has better electrolyte diffusivity and good structural stability. The laminar ternary positive electrode material with NiCo-PBA as crystal nucleus can promote potassium ion transport and bear K + The high stress caused by continuous insertion/extraction can further improve the diffusion rate of electrolyte, and has high-efficiency ion transmission and structural stability.
In a specific embodiment, the NiCo-PBA of the inner layer is cubic. Further, it is preferred that the side length of the NiCo-PBA of the inner layer is 1/9~1/5 of the precursor diameter.
The Prussian blue coordination polymer crystal can generate reversible crystal structure change under the influence of guest molecules, and has elastic structure characteristics. The coordination polymer has the advantages that a shape memory effect can be generated when the crystal size of the coordination polymer is smaller, the energy barrier required by the transformation of the structure with smaller crystal particle size is higher, the specific surface area is smaller, the diffusion barrier during adsorption is large, and the molecules are relatively difficult to enter the gaps; the Prussian blue coordination polymer is controlled to have the particle size smaller than or equal to 500nm, the specific surface area is larger, molecules easily enter gaps, the diffusion resistance is small, and the adsorption capacity is larger. Therefore, controlling the size of Prussian blue crystals in the composite precursor material plays a very important role in the application of the Prussian blue crystals in the KIBs, and the crystal material with proper size shows the shortest potassium ion diffusion distance in the KIBs and can show excellent rate performance.
In a specific embodiment, magnesium is doped in the nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary material of the outer layer. Further preferably, the magnesium doping amount is 1500 to 5000ppm.
Inactive magnesium is doped in the coprecipitation process of the precursor, so that the precursor has a predation effect in a crystal structure, the stability of a layered structure is enhanced, and K is enlarged + Diffusion layer, optimized Mn 3+ Jahn-Teller distortion. The magnesium doped oxide with a stable lamellar structure is combined with the NiCo-PBA crystal nucleus with controllable structure and larger surface area, so that the cycling stability of the potassium ion battery can be effectively improved, and the diffusion rate of electrolyte can be improved. As the doping amount of magnesium increases, the two diffraction peaks (108) and (110) are obviously separated, and the peak type of the peak is gradually sharpened and then widened, the diffraction peak is shifted to a large angle direction, and the interplanar distance is gradually reduced. The peak intensity of the diffraction peak I003/I104 is higher than that of the mixed discharge condition of the reactive cations, and the ratio is increased and the mixed batch of the cations is weakened. The peak intensity ratio of I003/I104 shows a trend of increasing before decreasing along with the increase of the magnesium doping amount, so that the magnesium doping amount is controlled to 1500-5000 ppm, the diffusion of ions is facilitated, and the electrochemical performance is improved.
In addition, the invention provides a preparation method of the precursor, which comprises the following steps:
step S1, dissolving nickel salt and a structure directing agent in water to obtain a mixed solution A; dissolving potassium hexacyanocobaltate in water to obtain a mixed solution B;
step S2, stirring and mixing the mixed solution A and the mixed solution B to obtain mixed slurry C;
s3, carrying out solid-liquid separation on the mixed slurry C, washing, drying and separating the obtained solid phase to obtain NiCo-PBA with a cube structure;
s4, preparing a precipitant solution, a complexing agent solution, reaction kettle bottom solution and a mixed salt solution of nickel, cobalt and manganese;
s5, adding NiCo-PBA with a cube structure into the reaction kettle base solution as seed crystals, and then adding a precipitator solution, a complexing agent solution and a mixed salt solution of nickel, cobalt and manganese in parallel flow into the reaction kettle base solution for coprecipitation reaction;
and S6, stopping the reaction when the granularity D50 of the reaction slurry in the step S5 reaches 5-10 mu m, aging, filtering the reaction slurry, and washing, drying, sieving and removing iron from a filtered solid phase to obtain a NiCo-PBA modified precursor.
In a specific embodiment, the structure directing agent is at least one of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), citric acid, sodium citrate; the concentration of the structure directing agent in the mixed solution A is 0.5-1.2 mol/L, and the concentration of nickel ions is 0.6-1.3 mol/L.
In a specific embodiment, the concentration of the potassium hexacyanocobaltate in the mixed solution B is 0.3-0.8 mol/L.
In a particularly preferred embodiment, the precipitant is NaOH, KOH, na 2 CO 3 、NaHCO 3 At least one of the precipitant solutions has a concentration of 2-9 mol/L; the complexing agent is at least one of ammonia water, ammonium bicarbonate, citric acid and ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid, and the concentration of the complexing agent solution is 1-6 mol/L.
In a specific embodiment, the total concentration of metal ions of nickel, cobalt and manganese in the nickel-cobalt-manganese mixed salt solution is 1-5 mol/L.
In a specific embodiment, the pH value of the bottom solution of the reaction kettle is controlled to be 11-12, and the ammonia concentration is controlled to be 5.5-8.0 g/L.
In a specific embodiment, the temperature of the coprecipitation reaction in the step S5 is 55-75 ℃, the pH value in the coprecipitation reaction process is 11-12, and the ammonia concentration is 5.5-8.0 g/L.
In the specific implementation, the flow rate of the complexing agent solution is 5-20 mL/min, the flow rate of the precipitant solution is 2-15 mL/min, and the flow rate of the nickel-cobalt-manganese mixed salt solution is 10-50 mL/min.
In a specific embodiment, magnesium salt solution is added as a dopant during the co-precipitation reaction described in step S5. Preferably, the concentration of the magnesium salt solution is 0.1-0.6 mol/L, and the flow rate is 0.5-3.5 mL/min.
The invention further provides a positive electrode material, which is obtained by pre-sintering the precursor of the NiCo-PBA modified potassium ion battery positive electrode material, mixing the precursor with a potassium source and sintering.
In a specific embodiment, the pre-sintering process is: preheating for 4-8 hours in an air atmosphere at 200-500 ℃.
In the specific embodiment, the material preheated by the precursor is ball-milled and mixed with a potassium source, and then calcined for 8-16 hours at 750-950 ℃ in an oxygen atmosphere.
Complex water of [ M' (CN) 6] vacancies in the Prussian blue crystal lattice of the inner core is difficult to thoroughly remove by a common heat treatment method, and the water molecules occupy redox active sites, block ion deintercalation channels and reduce the initial specific capacity and rate capability of the material. Meanwhile, the precursor hydroxide is decomposed to generate a large amount of moisture in the calcining process, and evaporation of the moisture takes away a large amount of heat energy and corrodes the internal structure of the equipment. Therefore, the precursor is preheated at low temperature before being mixed with the potassium salt, on one hand, raw material impurities are removed, the purity of the battery material is ensured, and the safety performance is improved; on the other hand, the precursor loses part of crystal water, the internal gap is increased, and part of internal structural stress is reduced, so that the contact area is increased when the precursor and potassium salt are mixed and calcined, the grain growth and development are more complete, and the multiplying power and the cycle stability of the composite material are improved. The proper calcination temperature can increase the material diffusion coefficient, promote the diffusion of ions and vacancies and the material transfer process of particle rearrangement, so that the tap density of the material is increased, and the surface moisture content is low; the oxygen-deficient compound is easy to generate when the calcining temperature is too high, and secondary crystallization is promoted, so that the granularity of the material is increased, the specific surface area is reduced, and the ion extraction and intercalation are not facilitated; if the calcination temperature is too low, the reaction is incomplete, an amorphous material is easily formed, the crystallization property of the positive electrode material is poor, impurities are easily generated, and the cycle stability and durability are reduced.
In a specific embodiment, the potassium source is preferably potassium carbonate.
