Description

High-energy-density sodium-free negative electrode sodium battery
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of battery energy storage, in particular to the field of rechargeable sodium secondary batteries, and particularly relates to a sodium-free negative electrode sodium battery with high energy density.
Background
With the continuous development of the energy industry, lithium batteries are increasingly competing. However, the distribution of global lithium resource storage is limited and is closely related to geographic location; sodium ion batteries are a common type of battery. Unlike lithium resources, which are limited by distribution, sodium resources have the advantages of low cost, abundant resources, and the like, so that the sodium battery is expected to be applied to various large-scale energy storage systems. However, sodium ion batteries also have certain limitations in use, and the limited energy density is one of the drawbacks that limit their use. There are still significant disadvantages in some high energy demand applications. In order to compete with, or even replace, conventional lithium ion batteries in terms of energy density, it is necessary to consider the choice and balance of positive and negative electrodes.
The energy density of current sodium ion batteries (full cells based on intercalation) is generally low, limited by the larger atomic size and species of sodium, in order to compensate for the energy density differences with commercial lithium ion batteries. One solution is to replace the intercalation electrode in a sodium-ion battery with a metallic sodium negative electrode. However, even under relatively dry air, the stability of sodium metal is still poor, sodium metal is difficult to process into thin sodium cathodes, and excessive sodium metal cathodes with uncontrollable thickness are used in most of the work reported at present, which greatly affects energy density and mass production. Therefore, the sodium-free negative electrode is a solution idea, and the negative electrode is replaced by a current collector such as aluminum foil, copper foil and the like which do not contain metal sodium. Thus, sodium ions are deintercalated from the positive electrode during the first charge, depositing sodium on the surface of the current collector. Since the active sodium ions come from the positive electrode material completely, no sodium treatment problem exists before packaging, which facilitates the manufacturing process and greatly improves the battery energy density. However, in the current sodium-free negative electrode battery, the total number of sodium ions which are not subjected to sodium supplementing activity is very limited, so that the problems of low deposition and stripping efficiency, rapid capacity decay, large volume change, easiness in SEI formation cracking and the like are faced.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention realizes the negative-pole-free rechargeable sodium battery with ultra-high energy density (350 watt hours/kilogram). Comprises a sodium-free composite negative electrode, an organic ether electrolyte, a diaphragm, a positive electrode and a sodium supplementing agent. In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme:
in order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme:
a high energy density sodium-free negative electrode sodium battery comprises a sodium-free composite negative electrode, an electrolyte, a diaphragm, a positive electrode and a sodium supplementing agent; the sodium salt in the electrolyte is solute, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether (DEGDME) and tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (TEGDME) are used as cosolvent, and the sodium-free composite negative electrode is obtained by covering a carbon material layer on an aluminum foil current collector, wherein the thickness of the carbon material layer is 5-10 mu m.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a full cell of the present invention with a sodium-free negative electrode, a positive electrode having a high specific energy layered oxide, an electrolyte solvent schematic diagram, and a negative electrode being a composite current collector.
The invention controls the thickness of a thinner carbon material layer, aims to furthest weaken the volume and mass ratio of the cathode to the whole battery, and simultaneously uses a uniform carbon layer modified current collector to induce Na metal nucleation, deposition and stripping behaviors, prevent the generation of dead sodium and the rapid capacity attenuation caused by unnecessary active Na loss, thereby obtaining the sodium-free cathode full battery with high energy density and stable circulation.
The invention adopts the current collector modified by the coating to replace the traditional negative electrode with hard carbon/soft carbon and the like which can be embedded/extracted. Conventionally, during charging of sodium ion batteries, ions move from the positive electrode material to the negative electrode material, resulting in Na removal (or removal of other ions) from the positive electrode material. During discharge, ions then move from the negative electrode material back to the positive electrode material, resulting in intercalation ions (or other intercalation of ions) of the positive electrode material. To achieve this, the N/P ratio in sodium ion batteries is typically matched in the range of 1.05 to 1.1:1. Wherein the N/P ratio generally refers to the capacitance ratio of the negative electrode (N) and the positive electrode (P). This ratio has an important influence on the performance of the battery, in particular, the cycle performance and safety. The formula is as follows: N/P ratio = negative theoretical capacitance (mAh/g)/positive theoretical capacitance (mAh/g). Therefore, the volume of the negative electrode is up to 20% -35%. In the present invention, however, all the active materials of the battery are derived from the positive electrode material and the sodium supplement agent, and the negative electrode does not have conventional negative electrodes such as hard carbon/soft carbon which can be inserted/extracted. In order to realize the high reversible circulation of negative electrode sodium deposition and sodium stripping, the loss of active Na in the circulation process and the formation of dead sodium are reduced, so that the invention adopts an ether solvent with good deposition and stripping efficiency as an electrolyte solvent, and the invention modifies the current collector of the negative electrode, so that the ether electrolyte can be better infiltrated, and the dendritic-free deposition of sodium metal on the negative electrode side is realized.
Further, in the electrolyte, sodium salt is solute, and the sodium salt is selected from NaPF 6 、NaBF 4 、NaClO 4 At least one of NaFSI, naFSI; the concentration of sodium salt in the electrolyte is 0.1M-1.8M, preferably 0.8-1.2M, such as 1M,1.1M; diethylene glycol dimethyl ether (deggme) and tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (teggme) are used as cosolvent, and the volume ratio of deggme to teggme is 4:1 to 9:1. the compound solvent of DEGDME and TEGDME is used as the electrolyte solvent, so that the oxidation stability is obviously improved. The electrolyte possesses an average deposition/stripping coulombic efficiency for the aluminum current collector of over 99.7% based on the characteristics of the ether solvent. The invention adopts chain+chain cosolvent mixture, and aims at researching interaction among long-chain ethers and regulating solvation structure. As shown in FIG. 1, compared with DEGDME, TEGDME has longer molecular chain length, lower LUMO energy level, stronger oxidation stability, larger dielectric constant and larger binding force of Na ions, and can increase the overall oxidation stability of the electrolyte.
The invention optimizes the formula of the ether electrolyte, so that the ether electrolyte has ultrahigh Na deposition/stripping efficiency and high-voltage stability, can avoid unnecessary active Na loss in the charge and discharge process to realize long cycle life of the sodium-free cathode full battery, and can be matched with the high-voltage and high-capacity O3 type transition metal layered oxide positive electrode. The choice of the positive electrode material directly determines, among other things, the energy density of the battery. High capacitance, high conductivity materials can provide higher energy densities, however the resistance of the electrolyte to high voltage charge and discharge processes is fundamental.
According to the invention, the compatibility of the electrolyte and the anode interface is improved by modifying the carbon material layer of the anode current collector. The modification process can be achieved by forming a carbon material coating on the surface of the current collector, the thickness of the carbon material being controlled to be 5-10 μm. The process of covering the surface of the current collector with the carbon material layer can be performed by a tape casting method through a bar coater, and can also be generated through physical evaporation, atomic layer deposition, chemical vapor deposition and other methods. The method for modifying the current collector by the carbon material layer with specific thickness can obviously improve the energy density of the whole battery and reduce the volume and the quality of the whole battery.
In the coating process by a tape casting method, the sodium-free composite negative electrode is obtained by coating slurry formed by mixing carbon material powder, a conductive agent, a binder and a solvent on an aluminum foil current collector and drying; the carbon material powder is at least one selected from soft carbon powder, carbon fiber, carbon nanotube, graphite and graphene; the binder is at least one selected from polyacrylic acid (PAA), sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA); the conductive agent is at least one selected from acetylene black, conductive graphite, graphene and Super P; the solvent is one or more selected from water, N-methyl pyrrolidone and ethanol.
Further, in the casting method coating process, the mass ratio of the carbon material powder to the conductive agent to the binder is 7-9:1-2:1-2, such as 8:1:1. The mass-volume ratio of the total mass of the carbon material powder, the conductive agent and the binder to the solvent is 1g:2-4mL, and diluting the slurry. The coating process requires extrusion coating on aluminum foil using a bar coater to achieve the effect of ultra-thin coating. Further, the thickness of the coating is 5-10 μm. Although the ether-based electrolyte can stabilize the deposition/exfoliation process of metallic sodium, the selection and surface modification of the current collector also plays an important role in the nucleation and deposition behavior of the initial sodium. The invention controls the thickness of the coating to be 5-10 mu m, can solve the problem of electrolyte infiltration and induces initial sodium metal nucleation. In particular, when the carbon fiber and the carbon nanotube are used as the carbon material and the conductive agent, the carbon material and the binder are used according to the following ratio of 7-9: and (3) pulping according to the mass ratio of 1 to prepare the slurry.
Preferably, the carbon material layer preparation process is realized by deposition methods such as Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD). In the CVD method, an aluminum foil is placed in a specific reaction chamber, and then a gas containing a carbon source (e.g., methane or ethylene) is reacted with the surface of the aluminum foil by adjusting atmosphere control, temperature, and gas flow rate to form a carbon material coating. In the ALD method, an aluminum foil is also placed in a specific reaction chamber, and then a carbon source and a reactant gas, such as formaldehyde, formic acid, etc., are introduced as a carbon source gas, and ammonia, water vapor, etc., as a reactant gas by way of alternate feeding, to produce a carbon material coating.

To ensure uniform distribution of the carbon material;
f1. and regulating the deposition time to form a carbon material layer of 5-10 mu m on the surface of the aluminum foil.

Further, in the sodium-free negative electrode sodium battery with high energy density, the separator material is selected from one or more than two of polyethylene, polypropylene, cellulose acetate and hydroxymethyl cellulose. The positive electrode is not particularly limited, and a positive electrode of a sodium ion battery conventional in the art can be obtained by diluting a solid of a positive electrode active material, a conductive agent, a binder and a sodium supplementing material according to a mass ratio of 8-10:1-2:1-2:1-2 with a solvent to obtain a slurry, uniformly coating the obtained slurry on an aluminum foil current collector, and drying the aluminum foil current collector; further, when preparing the positive electrode slurry, the slurry is diluted and mixed uniformly according to the dosage of 800-1000 mu L of solvent in the total proportion of 1g of positive electrode material, conductive agent, adhesive and sodium supplementing material. In order to achieve high energy density, the higher the positive electrode amount, the better the positive electrode material slurry is disposed. But requires the incorporation of a sodium-free negative electrode.
