Description

一种层状氧化物正极材料及其制备方法和钠离子电池 技术领域
本申请属于电池技术领域,涉及一种层状氧化物正极材料及其制备方法和钠离子电池。
背景技术
锂离子电池(LIBs)在大规模电化学储能系统中的应用已经取得了初步成功,使用金属锂作为阳极的固态LIBs也得到了良好的发展。然而,需求和成本的急剧增加以及LIBs中重要的金属元素锂和钴的有限储备引起了人们对未来发展的关注。配备先进的无钴阴极的钠离子电池(SIBs)在解决“锂恐慌”和“钴恐慌”方面显示出巨大的潜力,并在近些年取得了显著的进展。
作为钠离子电池最核心的材料之一,钠电正极材料成为了研究者关注的重点。目前研究的钠离子电池正极材料,主要是晶态材料,包括过渡金属氧化物、聚阴离子化合物和普鲁士蓝类化合物。而过渡金属层状氧化物正极材料因具有原料来源广、加工性能好、高比容量等优点,在低成本、大规模储能领域有巨大的应用潜力。CN112563484A提供了一种钠离子电池正极材料及其制备方法,其将钠盐、镍盐和M盐的盐溶液混合,并在高温高压的条件下进行反应后烧结,得到层状结构的Na xNi yM 1-yO 2正极材料,提高了材料的容量和循环性能。CN108899538A提供了一种三元钠离子电池正极材料及其制备方法,其将含有二价镍盐、二价钴盐和二价锰盐的盐溶液与碱溶液混合,进行共沉淀反应,然后进行预烧,烧结后加入钠源和钛源再次煅烧,得到了具有良好的循环稳定性以及放电电压平台的三元钠离子电池正极材料。CN109607624B将可溶性碳酸盐、锰盐,以及钴盐加入水中搅拌反应,生成沉淀后加入氢氧化钠进行烧结,得到 具有层状-隧道复合结构的钠离子电池正极材料,其制备工艺步骤少,操作简单,提高了正极材料的容量。
现有技术中的钠离子电池过渡金属层状氧化物包括了单金属氧化物、双金属氧化物和多金属氧化物,对于单金属氧化物锰酸钠而言,虽然其容量较高,但是循环过程中材料内阻较大、极化严重,Mn 3+八面体化合物通常会表现出较强的Jahn-Teller效应,导致材料容量衰减较快、循环性能不理想;而多金属镍铁锰层状氧化物正极材料具有较好的空气稳定性以及常压下优异的循环稳定性,但其克容量偏低,阻碍了其在高能量密度电池领域的应用。
综上,制备一种具有较高比容量和良好的循环稳定性的钠离子电池正极材料对钠离子电池的研究和发展有着重要意义。

综上实施例1-13可知,本申请的层状氧化物正极材料呈核壳结构,内核包括高锰含量的Na xMn aM 1-aO 2,外壳包括Na xNi bMn cFe dO 2,内核和外壳协同作用,能够防止Mn溶解,降低反应过程中材料与电解液的副反应,提高层状氧化物正极材料的放电容量和循环性能。
通过实施例1和实施例4-5的对比可知,本申请中通过控制内核和外壳的粒径,充分发挥核壳之间的协同作用,提高了材料的初始比容量和循环性能。实施例4中外壳偏厚,会导致材料容量偏低、循环性能下降;实施例5中外壳偏薄,导致材料循环性能下降,因此,实施例1的容量更高、循环性能更好。
通过实施例1与实施例6-9的对比可知,本申请中通过控制两次共沉淀反应的反应条件以及络合剂的浓度,能够进一步优化材料结构稳定性,实施例6-7 中pH值过高或偏低,都会导致材料循环性能不理想,实施例8-9中络合剂过高或偏低,都会导致材料循环性能不理想,因此,与实施例6-9相比,实施例1的容量更高、循环性能更好。
通过实施例1与实施例10-13的对比可知,本申请中通过两步烧结,并进一步优化第一烧结的第二烧结的温度,能够减少材料的残钠;与实施例10-13相比,实施例1的循环性能更好。
通过实施例1与对比例1-3的对比可知,本申请中单独使用Na 0.8Mn 0.85Cu 0.15O 2正极材料、Na 0.8Ni 0.33Fe 0.33Mn 0.33O 2正极材料或Na 0.8MnO 2正极材料,均无法实现本申请中核壳协同增效提高材料比容量和循环性能的作用;对比例1采用Na 0.8Mn 0.85Cu 0.15O 2正极材料,锰易溶损在电解液中,影响了材料的比容量和循环稳定性,因此对比例的初始比容量和50圈后容保持率均显著差于实施例1;对比例2中采用Na 0.8Ni 0.33Fe 0.33Mn 0.33O 2正极材料,其初始比容量比本申请低10mAh g -1,效果显著差于本申请;对比例3中Na 0.8MnO 2正极材料虽然初始比容量比实施例1相差不大,但是其50圈后容量保持率仅有50.1%,循环性能极差;综上,对比例1-3的综合电化学性能均显著差于本申请。
以上所述仅为本申请的具体实施方式,但本申请的保护范围并不局限于此,所属技术领域的技术人员应该明了,任何属于本技术领域的技术人员在本申请揭露的技术范围内,可轻易想到的变化或替换,均落在本申请的保护范围和公开范围之内。
