Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of sodium ion batteries, and relates to a pre-sodium hard carbon intermediate buffer film for improving the first cycle coulombic efficiency of a sodium ion battery, a preparation method thereof and a method for pre-sodium of a sodium ion battery negative electrode sheet. BACKGROUND

[0002] Due to limited lithium resource reserves and uneven distribution, the cost of metal lithium is continuously increasing, thereby limiting the further development of lithium ion batteries, especially the large-scale application in the energy storage field. The energy storage mechanism of sodium ion batteries is similar to that of lithium ion batteries, and sodium resources are abundant and low in cost, so sodium ion batteries are expected to replace lithium ion batteries and be widely applied in large-scale energy storage fields.

[0003] Hard carbon is considered to be a highly commercial sodium ion battery negative electrode material due to its good structural stability, low temperature performance and high sodium storage specific capacity. The structure of hard carbon material is usually complex, and most of the internal structure is disordered amorphous structure, defects and various pore structures. When the hard carbon material is used as a sodium ion battery negative electrode material, the binding energy between the internal porous structure or defect site and the sodium ion is too large, the sodium ion cannot undergo reversible reaction after electrochemical reaction, and irreversible loss of sodium ion occurs, thereby causing the first cycle coulombic efficiency of the hard carbon material in the sodium ion battery to be low. On the other hand, since most hard carbon materials have rich pore structures, they have a large specific surface area, and during the first charge and discharge of the sodium ion battery, the electrolyte will decompose on the surface of the hard carbon material and a series of side reactions will occur, forming an unstable solid electrolyte (SEI) film, thereby consuming a large amount of sodium ions and causing the first cycle coulombic efficiency of the sodium ion battery to be low. In a sodium ion full battery system, all irreversible sodium ions in the system are completely provided by the positive electrode material, and the amount of positive electrode material in the full battery is limited, so in this case, the first cycle coulombic efficiency of the negative electrode material plays a crucial role in improving the energy density and cycle life of the battery. Therefore, the first cycle coulombic efficiency of the sodium ion battery directly determines its commercialization process.

[0004] In order to improve the first cycle coulombic efficiency of the sodium ion battery, a pre-sodium method can be used. The current common pre-sodium methods for sodium ion batteries mainly include the following: in-situ doping pre-sodium, electrochemical pre-sodium, chemical pre-sodium and contact pre-sodium. Among them, the contact pre-sodium method is to directly contact the metal sodium sheet with the battery negative electrode sheet for pre-sodium, the electrolyte is used to wet the interface between the sodium sheet and the negative electrode sheet, and the contact pressure between the sodium sheet and the negative electrode sheet is adjusted by applying an external force, so as to control the depth and uniformity of the pre-sodium. This method is conducive to controlling the pre-sodium degree of the electrode, but the production process conditions are high and it is not easy to scale up. SUMMARY

[0005] Technical problems to be solved

[0006] In order to avoid the shortcomings of the prior art, the present application provides a pre-sodium hard carbon intermediate buffer film for improving the first cycle coulombic efficiency of a sodium ion battery, a preparation method and a pre-sodium method, and a preparation method and application of a pre-sodium hard carbon intermediate buffer film for improving the first cycle coulombic efficiency of a sodium ion battery which can be prepared on a commercial scale. By adjusting the different proportions of hard carbon and soft carbon, a pre-sodium hard carbon intermediate film with reasonable structure, porous structure, adjustable electron and ion channels is prepared, which has a first cycle coulombic efficiency of up to 121.1% when applied to a sodium ion battery, and the battery has good cycle and rate performance. The sodium ion battery prepared by the method has the advantages of high first cycle coulombic efficiency, good cycle life, cost advantage, simple operation and suitability for industrial production.

[0032] The application will be further described in conjunction with examples and drawings:

[0033] The structure of the hard carbon material is generally complex, and most of the internal structure is disordered amorphous structure, defects and various pore structures. When it is used as a negative electrode material of a sodium ion battery, the binding energy between the internal pore structure or defect site and the sodium ion is too large, the sodium ion cannot undergo a reversible reaction after electrochemical reaction, and the irreversible loss of sodium ion is formed, thus causing the first coulombic efficiency of the hard carbon material in the sodium ion battery to be low. On the other hand, since most of the hard carbon material has a rich pore structure, it has a large specific surface area, and the electrolyte will decompose on the surface of the hard carbon material during the first charge and discharge of the sodium ion battery, a series of side reactions will occur, and an unstable solid electrolyte (SEI) film will be formed, thereby consuming a large amount of sodium ions, resulting in a low first cycle coulombic efficiency of the sodium ion battery. In the sodium ion full battery system, all the irreversible sodium ions in the system are completely provided by the positive electrode material, and the amount of the positive electrode material in the full battery is limited, so in this case, the first cycle coulombic efficiency of the negative electrode material plays a crucial role in improving the energy density and cycle life of the battery. Therefore, the first cycle coulombic efficiency of the sodium ion battery directly determines its commercialization process.
