Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for preparing a magnesium electric positive electrode material, and in particular to a method for preparing gold-doped magnesium vanadate nitride, and a product and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the development of human society, the contradiction between global energy resource shortages and the ever-increasing demand for energy is becoming increasingly acute. Developing high-energy-density battery systems has become a primary goal in current power systems. While lithium-ion batteries, with their high energy density and environmental friendliness, are widely used in portable electronic devices such as mobile phones and laptops, as well as in electric bicycles and electric vehicles, their safety remains a major concern, and their application as power batteries remains a work in progress. Magnesium, one of the most abundant light metals on Earth, is widely used in a wide range of fields due to its excellent physical and chemical properties. Currently, much research on secondary magnesium batteries is based on secondary lithium-ion batteries. Because magnesium and lithium occupy diagonal positions in the periodic table, and despite having similar atomic radii and chemical properties, magnesium's melting point (648.8°C) is much higher than lithium's (180.5°C) and its metallic mobility is less pronounced, making secondary magnesium batteries safer. While its specific capacity isn't as high as lithium (3862 mAh g⁻¹), it's still quite impressive (2205 mAh g⁻¹). Furthermore, my country has abundant magnesium resources, making it significantly cheaper than lithium. Furthermore, magnesium is environmentally friendly, leading to increasing interest in secondary magnesium batteries.

[0003] Magnesium vanadate, a layered monoclinic crystal, is currently used as a cathode material for magnesium-ion batteries and is considered a promising material. To improve the electrochemical performance of magnesium vanadate as a magnesium-ion battery material, various methods have been used to modify the material.

[0004] The present invention provides a method for preparing gold-doped magnesium vanadate nitride. The method prepares gold-doped magnesium vanadate nitride via a chemical solution method and nitridation in an argon / ammonia mixed atmosphere. Modifying the magnesium vanadate via nitridation not only increases ion diffusion but also increases active sites and optimizes the interface, thereby improving the electrochemical performance of the material. Gold doping further enhances the electrochemical performance of the material. The preparation process is relatively simple and easy to operate. Summary of the Invention
