具体实施方式
下面将结合本申请实施方案中的附图,对本申请实施方案中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施方案仅是本申请一部分实施方案,而不是全部的实施方案。基于本申请中的实施方案,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施方案,都属于本申请保护的范围。

本申请提供一种补钠材料,该补钠材料包括补钠剂NaxCyOzHw和金属氧化物催化剂,其中,1≤x≤3,1≤y≤6,1≤z≤7,0≤w≤5;对补钠材料表面的任意第一区域进行第一次EDS测试,测得属于金属氧化物催化剂的金属元素的含量为C0,对熔融后的第一区域进行第二次EDS测试,测得属于金属氧化物催化剂的金属元素的含量为C1,C1>C0。本申请的补钠材料具有上述特征,表明本申请的补钠材料熔融后,裸露的金属氧化物催化剂变得更多,这表明本申请补钠材料中的金属氧化物催化剂被补钠剂有效包覆,这种包覆结构从而有利于电子转移,使得补钠材料具有低氧化分解电位,从而提高补钠材料的首圈补钠效果。本申请的补钠材料能够在钠离子电池首圈充电过程中释放出额外的钠离子,从而补偿由于负极极片处SEI膜形成和其他副反应等原因导致的钠离子损耗,提高钠离子电池的能量密度和循环性能。
本申请中,第一区域可以是补钠材料表面的任意一个预先选定区域,例如,第一区域可以是一个500nm×500nm的矩形区域,或者是一个面积为0.25μm2~1μm2的圆形区域。在进行第一次EDS测试后,可以对第一区域进行热处理5min~10min,使第一区域的补钠材料熔融,然后对熔融后的第一区域进行第二次EDS测试。本申请对热处理方法没有特别限制,只要能使补钠材料熔融即可,示例性地,可以通过SEM装置在10kV或20kV加速电压下对第一区域进行热处理。
可以理解的是,通过EDS测试可以定量分析补钠材料中各元素的含量,例如金属氧化物催化剂的金属元素含量。在一种示例中,金属氧化物催化剂为二氧化钛(TiO2),则可以在第一次EDS测试后得到钛元素的含量,记为C0,在第二次EDS测试后得到钛元素的含量,记为C1
在本申请的一些实施方案中,补钠材料具有补钠剂包覆金属氧化物催化剂的复合结构。具有该复合结构的补钠材料有利于电子转移,使得补钠材料具有低氧化分解电位,从而提高补钠材料的首圈补钠效果,能够在钠离子电池首圈充电过程中释放出额外的钠离子,提高钠离子电池的能量密度和循环性能。
在本申请的一些实施方案中,补钠材料的氧化分解电位为Epa,满足4.10V≤Epa≤4.20V,例如,氧化分解电位为4.10V、4.12V、4.14V、4.15V、4.16V或4.20V。本申请的补钠材料相比于现有的补钠材料具有更低的氧化分解电位,能够提高首圈补钠效果,改善钠离子电池的首圈不可逆容量损失,从而提高钠离子电池的首圈库伦效率。
本申请中,氧化分解电位是指补钠材料在充电过程中发生氧化分解反应时对应的电位。
在本申请的一些实施方案中,补钠材料的中值粒径D50为0.8μm~2μm,例如,D50为0.8μm、1μm、1.2μm、1.5μm、1.8μm或2μm。通过调控补钠材料的D50在上述范围内,能够有效缩短电子在补钠材料颗粒之间的传输距离,从而促进补钠剂的氧化分解过程,有利于补钠材料氧化分解电位的降低。
在本申请的一些实施方案中,基于补钠材料的总质量为100%,补钠剂的质量百分含量为70%~95%,金属氧化物催化剂的质量百分含量为5%~30%。例如,补钠剂的质量百分含量为70%、75%、80%、85%、90%或95%;金属氧化物催化剂的质量百分含量为5%、10%、15%、20%、25%或30%。通过调控补钠材料中补钠剂和金属氧化物催化剂的质量比在上述范围内,其中的补钠剂含量高于金属氧化物催化剂的含量,有利于形成补钠剂包覆金属氧化物催化剂的复合结构。
在本申请的一些实施方案中,补钠剂选自CH3COONa、C6H5Na3O7、Na2C4O4、Na2CO3、Na2C2O4和Na2C6O6中的至少一种。上述补钠剂具有环境友好、来源广泛、安全无毒的优点。
在本申请的一些实施方案中,金属氧化物催化剂选自二氧化钛、二氧化钌、二氧化锰、二氧化钼、四氧化三钴、四氧化三铁和二氧化锡中的至少一种。上述金属氧化物可以作为电子受体接受电子,有利于形成补钠剂包覆金属氧化物催化剂的复合结构。
第二个方面,本申请提供一种如第一个方面所述的补钠材料的制备方法,包括以下步骤:
分散液的制备:将经粒径调控处理后的补钠剂与醇基溶剂混合,得到分散液,其中,经粒径调控处理后的补钠剂的中值粒径D50为1μm~3μm;
混合物的制备:将催化剂前驱体加入到分散液中进行混合,干燥后得到混合物;
补钠材料的制备:将混合物在气体气氛下进行煅烧,煅烧温度为300℃~500℃,煅烧时间为1h~6h,得到补钠材料。
在分散液的制备步骤中,可以通过对补钠剂进行粒径调控从而得到上述粒径范围的补钠剂。发明人研究发现,随着补钠剂粒径的减小,其比表面积随之增大,在后续混合物的制备过程中,催化剂前驱体溶于醇基溶剂后形成的分散液能够更加均匀地分布在补钠剂的表面;发明人进一步研究后发现,催化剂前驱体与补钠剂混合的均匀程度会影响煅烧后所得补钠材料包覆结构的均匀程度。基于此,本申请采用经粒径调控后的补钠剂来制备补钠材料,能够使补钠材料的包覆结构更加均匀,从而提高补钠材料中金属氧化物催化剂的催化效率,降低补钠材料的氧化分解电位。
在混合物的制备步骤中,使用催化剂前驱体而非直接使用金属氧化物催化剂,能够使补钠剂与催化剂前驱体在纳米尺度上混合均匀,有利于使补钠材料的包覆结构更加均匀。
在补钠材料的制备步骤中,通过本申请的煅烧工艺,也即,调控煅烧温度和煅烧时间在上述范围内,能够将金属醇盐热分解过程产生的过渡金属氧化物引入到补钠剂中,同时催化剂前驱体发生热分解反应形成过渡金属氧化物,热分解产生的其它组分(例如有机小分子、一氧化碳、二氧化碳和水等)汽化排出,并且,补钠剂在该温度下发生熔融,金属氧化物催化剂均匀分散在熔融的补钠剂中,实现补钠剂对金属氧化物催化剂的均匀包覆,从而形成有利于电子转移的补钠剂包覆金属氧化物催化剂的复合结构。

将市售补钠剂粉末加入到去离子水中,搅拌后使补钠剂完全溶解,得到接近饱和的补钠剂溶液;
向补钠剂溶液中加入无水乙醇,搅拌后生成沉淀;

表1各实施例和对比例的补钠材料的数据


表1中,“/”表示不存在相关制备参数。
表2各实施例和对比例的第一扣式电池的性能数据

表2中,“/”表示不存在相关测试参数。
结合表1和表2,从实施例1与对比例1和对比例2可以看出,当仅是简单地对市售补钠剂进行再结晶处理(例如对比例1)或者直接使用市售补钠剂(例如对比例2)作为补钠材料时,由于对比例1和对比例2的补钠材料中不含有金属氧化物催化剂,因此经两次EDS测试后,不具有属于金属氧化物催化剂的金属元素的含量,同时也表明对比例1和对比例2的补钠材料不具有补钠剂包覆金属氧化物催化剂的复合结构。并且,对比例1和对比例2补钠材料的氧化分解电位高,第一扣式电池的首圈充电容量偏低,因此难以提高补钠材料的首圈补钠效果;从实施例1与对比例4可以看出,当仅是简单地将市售补钠剂与市售TiO2催化剂进行物理混合后作为补钠材料时,经两次EDS测试后,C1<C0,表明对比例4的补钠材料同样不具有补钠剂包覆金属氧化物催化剂的复合结构。并且,对比例4补钠材料的氧化分解电位高,第一扣式电池的首圈充电容量低,因此难以提高补钠材料的首圈补钠效果。而本申请的补钠材料经两次EDS测试后,C1>C0,表明补钠材料具有补钠剂包覆金属氧化物催化剂的复合结构,使得补钠材料具有低氧化分解电位,第一扣式电池的首圈充电容量得到明显提高,从而提高补钠材料的首圈补钠效果。
图3为实施例1制得的补钠材料的SEM图,从图3中可以看出,补钠剂Na2C4O4表面无明显的TiO2颗粒存在,这也印证了本申请的补钠材料具有补钠剂包覆金属氧化物催化剂的复合结构。
图4为对比例4制得的补钠材料的SEM图,从图4中可以看出,TiO2颗粒只是分散在补钠剂Na2C4O4的表面,并未形成补钠剂包覆金属氧化物催化剂的复合结构。
补钠剂、金属氧化物催化剂的种类、含量、补钠材料的粒径也会对钠离子电池的性能产生影响。从实施例2~实施例10可以看出,在C1>C0的前提下,通过调控补钠剂、金属氧化物催化剂的种类和含量以及补钠材料的粒径在本申请范围内,有利于得到具有高首圈充电容量的钠离子电池。
煅烧时间和煅烧温度也会对钠离子电池的性能产生影响。从实施例11~实施例12可以看出,在C1>C0的前提下,通过调控煅烧时间和煅烧温度在本申请范围内,有利于得到具有高首圈充电容量的钠离子电池。
表3各实施例和对比例的第二扣式电池的性能数据

结合表1和表3,从实施例1与对比例1~对比例4可以看出,当仅是简单地对市售补钠剂进行再结晶处理(例如对比例1),或者直接使用市售补钠剂(例如对比例2)作为补钠材料,或者正极极片中不含补钠材料(例如对比例3),或者将市售补钠剂与市售TiO2催化剂进行物理混合后作为补钠材料(例如对比例4)时,由于对比例1、对比例2和对比例4的补钠材料不具有补钠剂包覆金属氧化物催化剂的复合结构,对比例3的正极极片中不含补钠材料,第二扣式电池的首圈充电容量和首圈放电容量均较低,导致首圈库伦效率低,因此不利于钠离子电池能量密度和循环性能的提升;而本申请的第二扣式电池的首圈充电容量、首圈放电容量和20圈循环后容量保持率均显著提高,从而有利于钠离子电池能量密度和循环性能的提升。
补钠剂、金属氧化物催化剂的种类、含量、补钠材料的粒径也会对钠离子电池的性能产生影响。从实施例2~实施例10可以看出,在C1>C0的前提下,通过调控补钠剂、金属氧化物催化剂的种类和含量以及补钠材料的粒径在本申请范围内,有利于得到具有高首圈充电容量、高首圈放电容量和优异循环性能的NFPP钠离子电池。
煅烧时间和煅烧温度也会对钠离子电池的性能产生影响。从实施例11~实施例12可以看出,在C1>C0的前提下,通过调控煅烧时间和煅烧温度在本申请范围内,有利于得到具有高首圈充电容量、高首圈放电容量和优异循环性能的NFPP钠离子电池。
图5为实施例1的第一扣式电池的首圈充电过程的dQ/dV微分容量曲线图;图6为对比例1的第一扣式电池的首圈充电过程的dQ/dV微分容量曲线图。从图5可以看出,实施例1的氧化峰电位为4.12V;从图6可以看出,对比例1的氧化峰电位为4.25V,表明本申请的补钠材料具有更低的氧化分解电位,有利于提高首圈补钠效果。
图7为实施例1的第二扣式电池的首圈充放电曲线;图8为对比例3的第二扣式电池的首圈充放电曲线。从图7可以看出,实施例1的第二扣式电池首圈充电容量提升至138.4mAh/g,并且在4.12V左右显示出一个氧化平台,这部分平台提供的容量对应于补钠材料的氧化分解过程;从图8可以看出,对比例3的首圈充电容量为115.7mAh/g,其首圈充电平台在约2.8V、2.95V和3.28V处显示出氧化平台,分别对应于Na3位点、Na1位点和Na4位点的Na脱出过程。进一步地,实施例1的首圈放电比容量105.1mAh/g,对比例3的首圈放电比容量为101.5mAh/g,且实施例1的20圈循环后容量保持率相比于对比例1也得到提升,这表明本申请补钠材料的加入对NFPP正极极片后续循环过程中的结构不会产生影响,甚至起到积极作用。由上可知,本申请的补钠材料能够有效弥补NFPP正极极片的首圈钠损失,显示出与NFPP正极极片的良好兼容性,有利于钠离子电池能量密度和循环性能的提升。
以上对本申请实施例公开的一种补钠材料及其制备方法、正极极片、钠离子电池进行了详细的介绍,本文中应用了具体个例对本申请的原理及实施方式进行了阐述,以上实施例的说明只是用于帮助理解本申请实施例的技术方案及核心发明点:同时,对于本领域的一般技术人员,依据本申请的思想,在具体实施方式及应用范围上均会有改变之处,综上,本说明书内容不应理解为对本申请的限制。
