Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of lignin modification, phenolic resin synthesis and sodium ion negative electrode hard carbon material preparation, and particularly relates to a method for preparing sodium ion hard carbon from lignin modified phenolic resin with in-situ S doping. BACKGROUND

[0002] The advantages of phenolic resin hard carbon include good application prospects, fast market growth, and good application in the field of sodium battery and lithium battery negative electrode doping. Phenolic resin hard carbon is expected to be applied first due to its relatively small production process difficulty. In addition, the demand for hard carbon material is expected to increase from 0.2 million tons / year in 2022 to 10.5 million tons / year in 2025, showing the rapid growth potential of the market. In terms of market space, it is expected that the market space of hard carbon material will reach 6.3 billion yuan by 2025. In summary, as a potential negative electrode material, phenolic resin hard carbon has broad application prospects and rapid market growth expectations, but it also faces technical difficulties and performance challenges. The main problem is that the oxygen content of the material is low, the interlayer spacing of the prepared hard carbon material is low, and the number of microcrystals is small, so it is necessary to further improve its performance and application range through technical innovation and material optimization.

[0003] The advantages of biomass modified phenolic resin mainly lie in improving mechanical properties, reducing free formaldehyde release, improving thermal stability, enhancing wear resistance and impact resistance, and improving dimensional stability, making it have wide application prospects in many fields. Lignin and its derivatives are representative substances of biological raw materials, which have rich oxygen-containing functional groups and can react with phenolic resin under certain conditions to improve the chemical properties of phenolic resin.

[0004] High S content of hard carbon material can improve the diffusion rate of Na+, cause the expansion of interlayer spacing, enhance porosity and form defects, which is beneficial to the improvement of sodium storage performance. Since lignin itself contains S element, in-situ doping of S on lignin molecules can be considered, and then the reactive sites are exposed by oxidation and reacted with phenolic resin prepolymer to modify the structure of phenolic resin, thereby changing the chemical structure and sodium storage performance of lignin phenolic resin hard carbon sodium ion negative electrode material and providing advantages for its application in the field of sodium ion battery.

[0117] The molecular structure properties and battery performance of the samples prepared in the above-mentioned Example 3, Examples 11-14 and Comparative Examples were tested, and the test results are shown in Table 3.

[0118] Table 3 Comparison of sodium storage performance of sulfonated lignin modified phenolic resin hard carbon with different reaction times in Example 3, Examples 11-14 and Comparative Examples

[0119]

[0120] From the comparison of the data in the above table, it can be seen that when the reaction time of the sulfonated lignin is 4 h, the discharge specific capacity is the highest.

[0121] In order to analyze the structure-activity relationship of OLPRC, the microstructure thereof was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectrum. As shown in Figure 1 ,Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, two distinct diffraction peaks were observed at approximately 23.60° and 43.10°, corresponding to the (002) and (100) crystal planes of the carbon material, respectively. All the samples were prepared under the same pyrolysis conditions to obtain hard carbon, and the characteristic peak positions did not show significant shifts. With the in-situ S-doped lignin sulfonation reaction proceeding, the hard carbon obtained from the sulfonated lignin-modified phenolic resin under the optimal conditions (6.125 g sodium sulfite, 160°C, 4 h) exhibited relatively broad diffraction peaks. This indicates that the sulfonated lignin phenolic resin hard carbon prepared from the precursor synthesized under optimal conditions has a better disordered structure. Some characteristic parameters of each hard carbon during the synthesis process are shown in Table 4 below. The interlayer spacing and carbon crystallite size and number of the samples were calculated using the Bragg equation and Scherrer equation, respectively. Example 12 is the optimal sulfonated lignin phenolic resin hard carbon, and the calculation results show its interlayer spacing (d...). 002 The maximum is Its carbon crystallite size (La) is relatively small, and the number of crystallites is relatively high. Combined with the specific surface area results, it can be seen that in-situ doping with sulfur alters the molecular structure of lignin, affecting the structure of subsequent lignin resins. The sulfonated lignin-phenolic resin with a special structure exhibits increased interlayer spacing and altered carbon crystallite size and number during pyrolysis due to sulfur doping, without increasing the specific surface area of ​​the hard carbon material. This phenomenon may be because sulfur doping, while increasing the interlayer spacing, also works synergistically with other functional groups in the sulfonated lignin-phenolic resin to promote pore shrinkage, thereby giving the hard carbon a certain number of micropores or closed-pore structures, improving the sodium storage performance of sodium-ion batteries.

[0122] Table 4 shows the d-peak data in the XRD patterns.

[0123]

[0124] The sodium storage performance of unsulfonated oxidized lignin resin hard carbon and sulfonated lignin phenolic resin hard carbon obtained in Examples 1-14 was tested (Tables 1-3). It was found that with the optimization of the sulfonation reaction of in-situ doping of lignin with S, the reversible capacity and initial efficiency of the sulfonated lignin phenolic resin hard carbon gradually increased. The resulting phenolic resin-based hard carbon exhibited increased micropore volume while maintaining stable and excellent sodium storage performance. Among these phenolic resin-based hard carbon materials, the hard carbon prepared under optimal conditions (6.125 g sodium sulfite, 160 °C, 4 h) had a sodium storage capacity of 0.05 A g. -1 It can exhibit the highest reversible capacity of 400mAh g. -1The initial coulombic efficiency is 81% on both sides. The above method reduces the raw material cost of phenolic resin-based hard carbon materials to some extent, improves the sodium storage performance of biomass-based resin, and provides a new way for the industrial application of biomass-based phenolic resin hard carbon.

[0125] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. The present application can have various modifications and changes for those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
