The invention belongs to the technical field of
sodium ion batteries, and particularly relates to a preparation method of an in-situ oxidation growth flower-like structure TiO2 / MXene / hard carbon
sodium ion battery negative
electrode material. The method comprises the following steps: (1) in an
air atmosphere, heating popcorn to 230-280 DEG C, and carrying out pre-oxidation treatment; (2) putting the pre-oxidized popcorn into an
atmosphere furnace, and carbonizing at 800-1400 DEG C for 2-3 hours to obtain popcorn hard carbon; (3)
grinding and sieving the popcorn hard carbon to obtain hard carbon
powder with a particle size of less than 48 [mu] m; and (4) mixing the sieved hard carbon
powder with multiple
layers of MXene, and carrying out ball milling in an air environment by taking water as a
solvent. Under the action of huge energy generated by collision of ball-milling beads, the multiple
layers of MXene are stripped and react with air to generate TiO2 nanorods through in-situ oxidation at the same time, so that a TiO2 / MXene / hard carbon
composite material with a flower-shaped structure, namely the
sodium ion battery negative
electrode material, is formed. A unique flower-shaped structure is formed through ball milling regulation and control, and the sodium storage performance of the material is improved. When the
composite material is used as a negative
electrode of a room-temperature sodium-ion battery, the specific capacity of the battery can be effectively improved, and the cycle performance is enhanced. Meanwhile, the method is simple and feasible to operate,
pollution-free to environment and suitable for popularization and application.
