Definitions
- the invention relates to the general field of rechargeable batteries, sodium-ion (Na-ion) and lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, in particular Na-ion batteries.
- the invention relates more precisely to the active materials of positive electrode, and to the positive electrodes comprising them.
- Na-ion batteries represent one of the most promising alternative solutions to lithium-ion batteries, sodium being more economically interesting than lithium, in particular because of its abundance and its low cost.
- the first category contains polyanionic compounds.
- the compound Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 2 F 3 has been identified as being suitable for use in Na-ion batteries. Indeed, it is characterized in particular by ease of synthesis, stability when used in humid conditions, stability in air during storage, or even high specific energy, such as document WO 2014/009710. describes it.
- the second category contains the lamellar oxides of sodium. These particular oxides have the general formula Na b MO 2 , where b is less than or equal to 1, and M denotes at least one transition metal. These lamellar oxides seem more promising than the polyanionic compounds because they have in particular a lower molecular mass. They are also interesting by their structural and compositional richness and their ease of synthesis. In addition, the gravimetric energy density of the lamellar sodium oxides is higher than that of the compound Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 2 F 3 (approximately 4.5 g / cm 3 vs approximately 3 g / cm 3 ). Thus, many studies on lamellar sodium oxides have been undertaken, with particular attention given to the nature of the metals. Certain transition metals are preferably to be avoided, in particular metals such as V, Co and Ni because of their toxic nature.
- a particular positive electrode active material achieves a cell capacity comprising said improved active material, which does not deteriorate with repetition of the charging and discharging cycles, with improved stability at humidity.
- the subject of the invention is therefore an active material for a positive electrode of the following formula (I): Na x Li y Mn 1-y O 2 (1), in which:
- - x is a number ranging from 0.8 to 1;
- - y is a number strictly greater than 0 and less than or equal to 1/3.
- Another subject of the invention is a process for manufacturing the active material according to the invention.
- the subject of the invention is also a positive electrode comprising at least one active material according to the invention.
- Another object of the invention is an Na-ion battery cell, comprising the electrode according to the invention and also an Na-ion battery comprising at least one Na-ion battery cell.
- the invention also relates to a Li-ion battery cell, comprising the electrode according to the invention and also a Li-ion battery comprising at least one Li-ion battery cell as defined above.
- FIG 1 is a graph representing the capacity of several Na-ion battery cells, as a function of the number of charge and discharge cycles;
- FIG 2 is a graph showing the voltage of a Na-ion battery cell, as a function of the number of charge and discharge cycles;
- FIG 3 is a representation of two diffractograms of two active materials
- FIG 4 is a representation of two diffractograms of two active materials
- FIG 5 is a representation of two diffractograms of two active materials
- FIG 6 is a graph showing the voltage of a Li-ion battery cell, as a function of capacity.
- the positive electrode active material according to the invention is of formula (I) as mentioned above.
- y varies from 0.1 to 1/3, preferably from 0.2 to 1/3, more preferably y is equal to 1/3.
- x varies from 0.9 to 1, preferably x is equal to 1.
- the material of formula (I) as defined above is of formula NaLi 1/3 Mm 2/3 O 2 .
- a subject of the invention is also a process for manufacturing the active material according to the invention comprising the following steps:
- step (b) heating the mixture obtained at the end of step (a) up to a temperature ranging from 500 to 900 ° C;
- the transition metal salt is a manganese salt.
- the lithium precursor is chosen from an oxide, a peroxide, a salt and their mixtures, more preferably chosen from lithium carbonate, lithium nitrate, lithium acetate, lithium sulphate, lithium hydroxide. , Li 2 O, Li 2 O 2 and mixtures thereof.
- the sodium precursor is chosen from an oxide, a peroxide, a salt and their mixtures, more preferably chosen from sodium carbonate, sodium nitrate, sodium acetate, sodium sulfate. , soda, Na 2 O, Na 2 O 2 .
- the mixture obtained at the end of step (a) is heated to a temperature ranging from 600 to 900 ° C.
- step (b) takes place for a period ranging from 6 hours to 20 hours, preferably 6 hours to 16 hours, more preferably 6 to 12 hours, particularly preferably 8 hours.
- step (b) is carried out under a flow of argon.
- step (b) is followed by a cooling step.
- the mixture is heated to 700 ° C in an oven for 8 hours, then cooled to a temperature of 300 ° C or less, then removed from the oven.
- Another object of the invention is a positive electrode comprising at least one active material according to the invention.
- the positive electrode according to the invention further comprises at least one conductive compound.
- the conductive compound is chosen from metallic particles, carbon, and mixtures thereof, preferably carbon.
