Table-electrochemical performance table for each example and comparative example
In the following description with reference to table 1 and fig. 1 to 14, examples 1, 2, 4, 6 and 7 are compared with comparative example 1 (see fig. 5 and 6), example 3 is compared with comparative example 2, and example 5 is compared with comparative example 3, and when the core material or the cathode material is the same, the cycle performance of the cathode material after the core material is coated with the coating material provided by the present invention is significantly better than that of the cathode material not coated in comparative example 1 to 3, and surprisingly, the ternary cathode material in some examples is also partially improved in capacity due to coating.
Referring to FIGS. 3-6, na in example 1 can be seen 6 Mn(SO 4 ) 4 And Na in example 4 6 Mg(SO 4 ) 4 XRD patterns after calcination at 500℃were unchanged, indicating Na 6 Mn(SO 4 ) 4 And Na (Na) 6 Mg(SO 4 ) 4 Is stable in properties, i.e. the coating material Na disclosed in the invention 6 Mg a Mn b (SO 4 ) 4 The property of the polymer is stable, and when the polymer is used as a coating material of a positive electrode material, electrolyte can be prevented from corroding a core material, and side reactions are reduced.
Referring to fig. 7, it can be seen that the particle size of the coating material prepared in example 1 was around 100nm. Comparing fig. 8 with fig. 12, it can be seen that the surface morphology of the positive electrode material is significantly different, comparing fig. 9 with fig. 14, it can be seen that the XRD information of the positive electrode material is also significantly different, further referring to fig. 10, the surface of the core material in example 1 has a uniform nano coating layer. The element distribution analysis of the coating material shows that the content of the S element at the nano coating layer on the surface of the cathode material is obviously increased from fig. 11, which shows that the coating is successful, that is, the coating material with high concentration of Na on the surface of the core material in example 1 is located on the surface of the core. While referring to fig. 13, the surface of the positive electrode material of comparative example 1 has protrusions densely and unevenly distributed, presumably high concentration of Na, because Na in the positive electrode material of comparative example 1 is enriched toward the surface thereof, forming a sodium residue phase, resulting in a decrease in electrochemical performance of the positive electrode material of comparative example 1. The coating material provided by the invention is used for coating the core material, so that the formation of the residual sodium phase on the surface of the positive electrode material can be inhibited, and the electrochemical performance of the core material is kept stable.
In addition, referring to table one, it can be seen that in comparative example 4, since the core material is coated with the raw material for preparing the coating material, the electrochemical performance of the core material is improved much less than that of the coating material of example 6, as compared with comparative example 4. Therefore, the raw materials for preparing the coating material provided by the invention are used for coating the core material, so that the effect of coating the core material cannot be achieved, and the electrochemical performance of the core material cannot be maintained.
The technical features described above may be arbitrarily combined. Although not all possible combinations of features are described, any combination of features should be considered to be covered by the description provided that such combinations are not inconsistent.
Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical solution of the present invention, and not for limiting the same; although the invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that: the technical scheme described in the foregoing embodiments can be modified or some or all of the technical features thereof can be replaced by equivalents; such modifications and substitutions do not depart from the spirit of the invention.
