Description

Preparation method and application of pomegranate seed-shaped nanocomposite for potassium ion battery
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method and application of a pomegranate seed-shaped nanocomposite for a potassium ion battery.
Background
The potassium is located in the first main group of the fourth period, has oxidation-reduction potential similar to that of lithium, has physical and chemical properties similar to that of lithium, and has wide distribution and rich content, the content in the crust is up to 2.35 percent (which is far higher than that of lithium: 0.0065 percent; 361 times), and the potassium is located at the 7 th position, so the development of a potassium ion battery system greatly reduces the cost of the battery. The working principle of the potassium ion battery is similar to that of a lithium ion battery, and the potassium ion battery belongs to a typical rocking chair type working mechanism. During charging, K + Is deintercalated from the positive electrode material, migrates into the electrolyte, passes through the separator, and finally is embedded into the negative electrode material, and accordingly electrons are transferred from the positive electrode to the negative electrode by external conductionThe discharge process is reversed. However, the main problem in the potassium ion battery system is K + And thus the volume expansion during charge and discharge is more severe than in other alkali metal ion batteries, resulting in pulverization of the electrode. Thus, develop a suitable K + The shuttle electrode material is important.
Silicon is often used as a negative electrode material of a potassium ion battery because of higher theoretical capacity, but silicon can undergo serious volume expansion in the process of potassium intercalation, so that active materials are pulverized, and the active materials are separated from a current collector. Unstable SEI films are generated on the surface of the silicon in the reaction process, and the continuous accumulation of the SEI films can obstruct the contact between the active material and the electrolyte, so that the electrochemical performance is reduced. Thus, modification of silicon materials is a major hotspot in negative electrode research. Nanocrystallization is one of the most commonly used modification methods, and the nanocrystallization of Si can increase the reactive sites of Si, but the volume expansion of Si still cannot be solved, and unstable SEI films are still continuously generated. Secondly, the preparation of the Si/C composite material is also an effective way for solving the volume expansion of Si, and the introduction of the carbon material can improve the conductivity of the electrode and buffer the volume expansion of Si. In recent researches, ceramic-type semiconductor SiC having high stability attracts great attention. CN115377399 discloses a "preparation method of C-SiC-Si composite anode material for lithium ion battery", in which SiC is dispersed in a columnar fiber form between a carbon layer and a silicon layer, so that the problem of volume expansion of Si can be improved to a certain extent, the material exhibits excellent charge and discharge efficiency, but the anode material still has the problem of volume expansion of Si, the assembled lithium ion battery still has lower discharge capacity in the charge and discharge cycle process, and does not exhibit excellent cycle performance. Therefore, there is a need to develop an electrode material for potassium ion batteries having a larger discharge capacity and better cycle performance.

The cycle performance curves obtained by assembling the cells according to comparative example 1 are shown in FIG. 12, and electrochemical test results show that the assembled potassium ion cell was at 0.2 A.g -1 After 150 cycles at current density of 286 mAh.g -1 The capacity retention was 68%.
FIG. 13 is a scanning electron microscope image of the prepared nanocomposite, from which it can be seen that morphology was changed and a large amount of agglomeration occurred when an excess of phenolic resin was added. Therefore, compared with example 2, the Si/SiC/C nanocomposite of comparative example 1 has small specific surface area and greatly reduced reactive sites, cannot provide a channel for rapid intercalation and deintercalation of potassium ions, and the excessive phenolic resin makes the Si/SiC active material unable to be in effective contact with the electrolyte, so that the electrochemical performance is greatly reduced.
