Embodiment 1

[0076] (Preparation of negative electrode)

[0077] An Al foil having a thickness of 20 μm and a diameter of 16 mm was used as a current collector for the negative electrode. will have an average particle size d of 10 μm 50 and 30μm maximum particle size d max sodium titanate (Na 2 Ti 3 O 7 ) as the negative electrode active material. Acetylene black was used as a conductive auxiliary material, and polyvinylidene fluoride was used as a binder.

[0078] Na in ratios of 85%, 5%, and 10% by mass, respectively 2 Ti 3 O 7 , acetylene black and polyvinylidene fluoride are mixed. N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) was added dropwise to the mixture and mixed with the mixture to make a paste. A paste was applied to the Al foil and pressed to have a thickness of 50 μm. The paste was dried at 120° C. for 60 minutes to form the negative electrode 1 (this reference number is provided for simplicity and is not the reference number in the drawings. The same is hereinafter.).

[0079] (...

Embodiment 2

[0087] In addition to using d with an average particle size of 5 μm 50 and 15μm maximum particle size d max sodium titanate (Na 4 Ti 5 O 12 ) in place of Na in negative 1 2 Ti 3 O 7 Other than that, the negative electrode 2 and the sodium battery 2 were manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1.

Embodiment H-1

[0099]Regarding the electrolyte and the separator, the specific structure of the half-cell is described above. The positive electrode contained an Al foil having a thickness of 20 μm and a diameter of 12 mm as a current collector for the positive electrode. will have an average particle size d of 10 μm 50 and 30μm maximum particle size d max sodium titanate (Na 2 Ti 3 O 7 ) as the positive electrode active material. Acetylene black was used as a conductive auxiliary material, and polyvinylidene fluoride was used as a binder. Na in ratios of 85%, 5%, and 10% by mass, respectively 2 Ti 3 O 7 , acetylene black and polyvinylidene fluoride are mixed. N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) was added dropwise to the mixture and mixed with the mixture to make a paste. The paste was applied to Al foil and pressed to have a thickness of 50 μm. The paste was dried at 120° C. for 60 minutes to form the positive electrode 1 . The water content Q of the positive electrode 1 is Q<100 ppm. ...

Abstract

In the present invention, in order to increase the cycling characteristics of a sodium battery, sodium titanate is used as the anode active material for the sodium battery. For example, the anode active material is preferably the sodium titanate represented by compositional formula (1) or compositional formula (2): compositional formula (1) being Na2+XTi3O7 (0<=X<= 0.9); and compositional formula (2) being Na4+XTi5O12 (0<=X<=1.0). Furthermore, by reducing the amount of water in the battery and by optimizing the particle size of the active material, the sodium titanate can even be represented by the following compositional formulae: compositional formula (1') being Na2+XTi3O7 (0<=X<=2.0); and compositional formula (2') being Na4+XTi5O12 (0<=X<=2.0).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a negative electrode active material for a sodium battery, a negative electrode and a sodium battery. Background technique [0002] In recent years, natural energy such as sunlight or wind has been actively used for power generation. The use of natural energy to generate electricity is greatly dependent on climate and weather, and the power output cannot be adjusted according to power needs. Therefore, load leveling is indispensable when generating electricity using natural energy. Load leveling involves the storage and release of electrical energy, for example, using high-energy-density, high-efficiency secondary batteries. [0003] One known high-energy-density, high-efficiency secondary battery is the sodium-sulfur (NAS) battery. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a NAS battery including molten metal sodium as a negative electrode active material, molten sulfur as a positive electrode active material, and β-...
