The invention relates to the technical field of
sodium ion batteries, in particular to a method for reactivating a failed hard carbon negative
electrode material and application thereof, and the method comprises the following steps: putting a failed hard carbon negative
electrode sheet into
ethylene glycol
dimethyl ether for ultrasonic cleaning and then
drying; and placing the dried hard carbon negative
electrode plate in a mold, and carrying out reactivating treatment by using cold
plasma to obtain an activated hard carbon negative electrode plate. Reactivation treatment of the failed hard carbon electrode plate is achieved through cold
plasma, the failed hard carbon electrode plate is cleaned with
ethylene glycol
dimethyl ether, residual
sodium salt and glass fibers on the surface of the electrode plate are removed, cold
plasma treatment is facilitated, and direct
etching of a
solid electrolyte layer is facilitated; harmful gas and waste liquid are not generated in the process of
etching the surface of the electrode plate by adopting the gas-phase plasma, so that the problems of high cost,
energy consumption, harmful gas emission, acid waste, extra treatment cost and the like caused by the
recovery process of the failed hard carbon electrode plate as a negative
electrode material are solved, and the economic benefit is favorably improved.
