This invention relates to the field of
sodium-
ion battery technology, specifically disclosing a
sodium iron pyrophosphate (NFPP)
cathode material, its preparation method, and its application. The preparation method includes: using
iron phosphate as the
iron source, mixing it with a specific
sodium source,
phosphorus source, and composite
carbon source; adjusting with deionized water; and then performing precision sand milling to control the
slurry particle size D50 within 0.30~0.35 μm to ensure uniform elemental mixing; subsequently,
spray drying is performed to obtain a precursor with high
sphericity and narrow
particle size distribution; finally, programmed
sintering is carried out under an
inert atmosphere to obtain the final product. This invention solves the problems of uneven elemental distribution,
impurity phase formation, low material compaction density, and poor electrochemical performance in existing technologies through synergistic optimization of the entire process chain of sand milling-
spray drying-
sintering. The obtained NFPP material has a high-purity phase structure. The sodium
iron pyrophosphate cathode material prepared by the method of this invention can achieve a 0.1C
discharge specific capacity of 101 mA·hg. ‑1 The 1C
discharge specific capacity can reach 93 mA·hg ‑1 It is suitable for the preparation of high-performance sodium-
ion batteries.
