The application discloses a P2 type
sodium electric layered
oxide electrode material and a preparation method thereof, relates to the technical field of
sodium ion batteries, and comprises the following steps: taking a
sodium source, a
nickel source, an
iron source, a
manganese source, a
magnesium source and an aluminum source, mixing the sources, adding deionized water to jointly dissolve the sources through ultrasonic, stirring again, and obtaining a first solution; dissolving
oxalic acid in deionized water to obtain a second solution; adding the second solution drop by drop into the first solution and stirring to obtain a third solution; heating and stirring the third solution; naturally cooling the third solution, taking out, filtering, and
drying to obtain a precursor; calcining the precursor in an
oxygen-free environment, naturally cooling the precursor, taking out, and
grinding to obtain a
raw material powder; and calcining the
raw material powder in a high-temperature
inert gas environment to obtain an
electrode material. The preparation method can introduce
oxygen vacancies by calcining in an
oxygen-free environment, can embed more sodium ions, and can improve the specific capacity; and the
electrode material has both capacity and cycle.
