This invention relates to the field of
sodium-
ion battery technology, specifically disclosing a
sodium-
ion battery
cathode material, its preparation method, a
battery cell, and a battery. The
cathode material involves the sequential stacking of single-
crystal particles, near-single-
crystal particles, and aggregated particles along a vertical direction from a foil substrate. The single-
crystal particles are single, blocky crystals; the near-single-crystal particles are secondary particles formed by the stacking and connection of multiple single-crystal particles, which are mixed with and fill the gaps between the single-crystal particles; the aggregated particles are secondary particles formed by the stacking of multiple micro / nano particles, used to provide a rapid migration channel for ions at the
cathode, shortening the
ion migration distance and enabling
fast charging of the
sodium-ion battery. This invention involves the sequential stacking of three
layers of three types of
active particles—single-crystal particles, near-single-crystal particles, and aggregated particles—starting from the vertical direction of the foil substrate. This multi-gradient
cathode material design greatly improves the space utilization and energy
carrying capacity of the active material on the
electrode, while also providing
fast charging capability.
