Description

Energy storage sodium ion battery and negative electrode, preparation method, and preparation device Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of energy storage batteries, and in particular relates to a sodium ion battery and a method for preparing a negative electrode. Background Art

[0002] High-quality development of human society is inseparable from the efficient use of energy. With the implementation of China's dual carbon policy, China's energy consumption structure will undergo major changes. The continuous development of new energy has become a general trend. This will be of great strategic significance for accelerating the establishment and improvement of a green, low-carbon circular economic development system, promoting the comprehensive green transformation of the social economy, and achieving the established goals of carbon peak and carbon neutrality.

[0003] As a supplement and effective alternative to lithium-ion batteries, a new type of energy storage device called "Sodium Ion Battery (SIB)" has attracted widespread attention from all walks of life by taking a differentiated competitive development path. Its energy density is comparable to that of lithium iron phosphate batteries, but its theoretical cost can be as low as 70%. It is highly anticipated for its application in low-speed electric vehicles, 5G communication base stations, data centers, industrial and commercial, and ultra-large energy storage power stations.

[0004] The electrode, known as the heart of a battery, is a crucial component that determines its performance. Currently, sodium-ion batteries utilize the NMP slurrying process (referred to as the "wet process") in their electrode manufacturing process. Besides energy consumption and environmental issues, this process's biggest challenge is the difficulty in increasing electrode compaction density due to the introduction of solvents during electrode manufacturing. Compared to the wet process, the dry process, through dry mixing, can improve electrode compaction by over 10%, thereby increasing the overall battery energy density. Furthermore, the formed electrode exhibits crack-free microstructures, unobstructed electronic and ionic conductive networks, and strong contact with the current collector, significantly enhancing electrochemical performance and cycle durability. Dry process electrode technology was first introduced in the supercapacitor industry, and some companies in the lithium battery industry have also gradually adopted it. The introduction of dry process electrode technology into the sodium-ion battery manufacturing process is timely and necessary, but currently, due to limitations in battery technology development, wet process electrode manufacturing is still widely used. This process significantly increases battery manufacturing costs, failing to effectively meet the low cost requirements of industrialization. Technical issues

[0005] Through the above analysis, the problems and defects of the existing technology are: 1) The existing wet electrode manufacturing technology of sodium ion batteries limits the further improvement of their energy density; 2) The existing electrode manufacturing technology pushes up the overall manufacturing cost of sodium ion batteries; 3) The existing electrode process limits the cycle stability of sodium ion batteries; 4) The existing process leads to environmental problems in the product production and manufacturing process.

[0006] One existing related technology uses hard carbon as the negative electrode for sodium-ion batteries. This method also uses hard carbon as the primary negative electrode material, supplemented with a conductive agent and a binder. However, this technology typically uses a wide range of hard carbon particle sizes, pore size distributions, and specific surface areas, and the binder type and degree of polymerization are not specifically limited.

[0007] 1) Physical properties of hard carbon: Existing technologies have a wide range of pore size distribution and specific surface area. This results in inconsistent sodium ion diffusion rates during battery charge and discharge, impacting charge and discharge efficiency and battery cycle life. Furthermore, the particle size of hard carbon used in existing technologies is not strictly controlled, which affects the battery's energy density.

[0008] 2) Conductive agent selection: Numerous types of conductive agents are currently available, with no clear recommendation for use. Different conductive agents vary in their conductivity mechanisms, properties, stability, and compatibility with hard carbon, which can affect the overall performance of the battery.

[0009] 3) Binder Issues: Prior art lacks clear regulations on binder selection and its degree of polymerization, which can affect the stability of the battery's physical structure. The quality and performance of the binder directly impact the electrode sheet's fabrication process, mechanical strength, and battery cycle performance.

[0010] The present invention provides a new method for preparing a negative electrode for a sodium ion battery. By precisely controlling the physical properties of hard carbon, conductive agents, and binders, combined with innovative negative electrode process equipment, it can solve some problems existing in the prior art and achieve better battery performance and longer cycle life.

[0047] (3) The technical solution of the present invention solves a technical problem that people have always wanted to solve but have never been able to solve successfully: the organic integration of high performance, low cost and environmental protection.

[0048] Fourth, in terms of the method for preparing the negative electrode of the energy storage sodium ion battery, the embodiments of the present invention have brought significant technical progress in many aspects:

[0049] 1. High stability and long life

[0050] By selecting hard carbon with a median particle size and specific surface area within a specific range, the stability and cycle life of the battery are effectively improved. In addition, by controlling the particle size distribution (such as the limits of D90 and D10), the structure and performance of the battery are further optimized.

[0051] 2. High energy density and high power density

[0052] The mass ratios (hard carbon, conductive agent, and binder) are carefully designed to achieve a balance of high energy and power density.
