This invention discloses a
sodium-
ion battery additive, its preparation method, and its application, belonging to the field of
sodium-
ion battery technology. The invention first prepares a precursor using a high-temperature
solid-state method. During the synthesis of the precursor, a
transition metal is oxidized from a low-valence state to a high-valence state, providing a basic
crystal framework for the subsequent synthesis of the
sodium-
ion battery additive, ensuring that no
impurity phases are generated in the additive. The precursor is then used to prepare the sodium-ion battery additive, introducing Na during this process. 2 O 2 During
sintering,
decomposition releases
oxygen, ensuring an oxidizing
atmosphere inside the sealed
crucible and maintaining Ni. 3+ The sodium-ion battery has a stable valence state. The sodium-ion additive prepared by this invention has a lower
decomposition voltage and a higher irreversible specific capacity. Therefore, adding a small amount of sodium-ion additive to the positive
electrode of a sodium-ion battery can provide more additional capacity, thereby significantly improving the
energy density of the sodium-ion battery.
