This invention provides a modified
sodium-
ion battery
cathode material, its preparation method, and its application. The preparation method includes the following steps: (1) heating a
sodium source, an aluminum source, and a
silicon source respectively to obtain a
sodium source vapor-phase precursor, an aluminum source vapor-phase precursor, and a
silicon source vapor-phase precursor; (2) placing the sodium-
ion cathode material in a reactor, and sequentially introducing the sodium source vapor-phase precursor, the aluminum source vapor-phase precursor, and the
silicon source vapor-phase precursor, followed by introducing
water vapor; (3) repeating step (2) n times to obtain the modified sodium-
ion battery
cathode material. This invention achieves uniform
coating of a specific thickness of the sodium-ion battery
cathode material based on
atomic layer deposition technology. The
coating process is simpler, and the
coating effect is better and more uniform. Moreover, the coated sodium
aluminum silicate can assist in the intercalation and deintercalation of sodium ions at the interface. After coating, the interface of the
cathode material can be optimized, and the cycle stability of the sodium-ion battery can be improved.
