Application and performance characterization
1. Assembly of sodium ion secondary battery
The positive electrode materials prepared in the above examples and comparative examples were used as positive electrode active materials to prepare corresponding sodium ion secondary batteries, respectively, and the specific operations were as follows:
(1) Mixing a positive electrode material, a binder (polyvinylidene fluoride and styrene-butadiene latex according to a mass ratio of 4:1) and a conductive agent (small-particle conductive carbon black and single-walled carbon nano-tubes according to a mass ratio of 19:1) according to a mass ratio of 95.5:1.8:2.7 adding the mixture into NMP solvent, mixing and stirring to prepare positive electrode slurry, coating the positive electrode slurry on a current collector to obtain a pole piece, drying, cold pressing, cutting and preparing the positive electrode pole piece;
(2) Sequentially stacking and winding a positive plate, a separation film and a negative plate (active substance is hard carbon obtained by pyrolysis of phenolic resin) to obtain a bare cell, ultrasonically welding a tab, putting the bare cell into a battery shell, drying to remove moisture, injecting electrolyte into the battery shell, and packaging to obtain the sodium ion secondary battery.
2. Performance testing
(1) Resistance and pH value measurement of positive electrode material
The positive electrode materials prepared in the above examples and comparative examples were tested for resistance and pH, and the specific procedures were as follows:
measurement of resistance: loading the positive electrode material of 10 g into a measuring sample stage, loading the jig into a pre-compaction instrument, starting the pre-compaction instrument to compact 15 s, loading the sample stage back into the powder resistivity instrument, and starting software to start testing the powder resistance;
determination of alkaline sodium content: the positive electrode materials prepared in examples and comparative examples were subjected to titration with hydrochloric acid to determine the content of alkaline sodium (sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate), and the specific procedures were as follows: dispersing the sodium ion positive electrode material of 5 g in 20 mL deionized water, stirring and dispersing for 30 minutes, then filtering to obtain a supernatant, calculating the total content of hydrochloric acid consumed by titration to a titration end point by using methyl orange as an indicator of the titration end point, and calculating the total residual alkali content by the volume of the titration end point to obtain the content of alkaline sodium (sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate);
Determination of pH: the pH of the positive electrode materials prepared in examples and comparative examples was measured by a pH meter, and the specific procedure was as follows: deionized water and a positive electrode material are mixed according to the mass ratio of 9:1, mixing and stirring, taking supernatant and measuring the pH value by a pH meter.
The test results are shown in table 1 below:
TABLE 1
Figure SMS_1
As can be seen from Table 1, the positive electrode materials for sodium ion batteries prepared in examples 1 to 6 and comparative examples 3 and 4 have lower powder resistance, which is less than 250Ω. The powder resistance of the positive electrode materials prepared in comparative examples 1 and 2 was higher, and in particular, the powder resistance of the positive electrode material prepared in comparative example 1 was as high as 507.3 Ω, and this larger difference in resistance was presumed to be related to the carbon layer of the positive electrode material coating layer. The main difference between comparative examples 1 and 2 and example 1 is that the preparation of the carbon layer of the coating layer is that in comparative example 1, the step of micro boiling treatment of the mixed solution of oxalic acid ammonia and phosphoric acid ammonia is absent, in comparative example 2, the yeast solution is replaced by glucose with the same concentration on the basis of example 1, and the difference caused by different treatment methods is reflected on the carbon layer of the coating layer after sintering treatment. Compared with the carbon layer formed by calcining the unmodified saccharomycetes in the comparative example 1, the surface of the positive electrode material prepared in the example 1 and the comparative example 2 is coated with the carbon layer co-doped with nitrogen and phosphorus, and the doped nitrogen and phosphorus atoms can serve as electron donors or acceptors to promote rapid transfer of charges, so that the electrochemical activity of the carbon material is enhanced. Thus, example 1 and comparative example 2, which are cathode materials coated with a carbon layer co-doped with nitrogen and phosphorus, have lower powder resistance than comparative example 1.
In addition, the powder resistance of the positive electrode material prepared in comparative example 2 was 323.5 Ω, which is almost twice the powder resistance (167.5 Ω) of the positive electrode material prepared in example 1, and this result is presumed to be caused by the difference in the forces acting on metal ions between yeast and glucose. Compared with the glucose adopted in the comparative example 2, the saccharomycete adopted in the example 1 can regulate and control the growth process of crystals in the precursor sol through the electrostatic attraction between hydrophilic anionic groups and nickel and magnesium ions which are rich in the surface of the saccharomycete, and meanwhile, the conductive layer network formed on the surface of the positive electrode material after the saccharomycete is calcined is more uniform.
The sodium ion battery cathode materials prepared in comparative examples 3, 4 have lower powder resistance than the sodium ion battery cathode material prepared in example 1. The positive electrode material prepared in comparative example 3 has lower resistance, presumably because the specific surface area of the positive electrode material after the wire separation treatment is increased, and more bare surfaces which are not coated by the carbon layer exist, so that the corresponding powder resistance is higher, while the positive electrode material without the wire separation treatment has larger duty ratio of the surface coated by the carbon layer and the corresponding powder resistance is lower. The cathode material prepared in comparative example 4 was only a carbon-coated cathode material, whereas in example 1, a phosphoric acid modified layer was added on the basis of comparative example 4, and the introduction of a phosphoric acid modified layer having poor conductivity improved the powder resistance of the cathode material.
The above-mentioned wire separation treatment and the introduction of the phosphoric acid modification layer increase the resistance of the positive electrode material to some extent, but can effectively reduce the residual alkali amount and the pH value in the positive electrode material. The positive electrode material prepared in the above comparative example 4 does not contain a phosphoric acid modified layer, and the mass ratio of alkaline sodium in the positive electrode material measured by the positive electrode material is up to 0.000832 gwt%, and the corresponding pH value is 12.5, which is obviously higher than other positive electrode materials coated and modified by the phosphoric acid modified layer. The positive electrode materials prepared in comparative example 3 without the wire separation treatment were also higher in alkaline sodium content and corresponding pH value as compared with examples 1 to 6 and comparative examples 1 to 2, presumably due to insufficient neutralization of alkaline sodium in the positive electrode materials.
In conclusion, the modified saccharomycete is used for preparing the carbon layer doped with the hetero atoms on the surface of the positive electrode material, and then the modified phosphoric acid layer is coated, so that the conductivity of the positive electrode material can be effectively improved, and the content of alkaline substances in the positive electrode material can be reduced.
(2) Electrochemical performance of sodium ion secondary battery
The electrochemical performance of sodium ion secondary batteries prepared from different positive electrode materials was tested using an electrochemical workstation, and the charge-discharge cut-off voltage was 2.5-4.1. 4.1V. The capacity retention rate of the battery was tested by constant current charging to 4.1V at 0.1C and then discharging to 2.5V at 0.1C. The test results are shown in table 2 below:
TABLE 2
Figure SMS_2
As can be seen from table 2, the sodium ion secondary batteries constructed using the positive electrode materials prepared in examples 1 to 6 having lower powder resistance and pH value had a capacity retention rate of more than 87% after 400 cycles and a capacity retention rate of not less than 81.2% after 700 cycles.
The sodium ion secondary battery constructed using the positive electrode material of comparative example 1 having a high powder resistance and a low pH value, compared with example 1, has a high capacity retention rate after 100 cycles, but the capacity retention rate is relatively decreased faster with the increase of the number of cycles, the capacity retention rate of the battery after 400 cycles is 86.6% unlike example 1 by 1.7%, and the difference between the capacity retention rate and example 1 increases to 2.1% when the number of cycles is increased to 700 cycles. In addition, the sodium ion secondary battery constructed using the positive electrode material prepared in comparative example 2 still had a higher capacity retention of 87.1% at 400 cycles (higher than comparative example 1 but lower than example 1), but the capacity retention was significantly reduced by 79.8 (lower than example 1 and comparative example 1) when the cycle was continued to 700 cycles, as compared with comparative example 1.
In addition, the sodium ion secondary battery constructed using the positive electrode material prepared in comparative example 3 having a low powder resistance and a high pH value, it is apparent from the results of the cycle test of the battery that the rate of decrease in the battery capacity increases with the increase in the number of cycles. In contrast, the sodium ion secondary battery constructed using the positive electrode material prepared in comparative example 4 had a capacity retention rate reduced to 87.8% at 100 cycles, which was lower than that after 400 cycles in example 1.
In summary, the modified saccharomycete solution is adopted as a carbon matrix, and the modified saccharomycete solution is subjected to high-temperature filament separation calcination, phosphoric acid modifier addition and other treatments, so that the surface performance of the positive electrode material can be effectively improved, the structural stability of the positive electrode material is improved, and the high capacity retention rate is maintained in the long-term cyclic charge and discharge process.
