Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of Prussian blue sodium-ion battery material preparation technology, and more specifically, relates to an organic solvent post-treatment Prussian blue sodium-ion battery cathode material, its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used in portable devices and electric vehicles due to their superior volumetric and gravimetric energy density and long cycle life. However, the expensive and scarce lithium resources limit the further expansion of LIBs in large-scale stationary energy storage. While sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) share a common operating principle with LIBs, they lag behind in energy density and reaction kinetics. However, due to their advantages such as fast charging performance, excellent high and low temperature performance, good safety performance, and good device compatibility, SIBs are considered an effective alternative for their chosen applications.

[0003] The main challenges to the commercialization of SiBs (Synthetic Induction Bodies) are the low energy density and limited cycle life of electrode materials. The cathode, as a crucial component of the battery, is particularly important, as it significantly determines the battery's energy density and cycle life. PBAs (Polydioxanone Basis) possess advantages such as open 3D diffusion channels and easily controllable crystal structures. Furthermore, compared to other cathodes, PBAs do not require high-temperature calcination during synthesis, effectively reducing manufacturing costs and thus showing broad prospects for energy storage applications.

[0004] However, despite the many advantages of Prussian blue (PBAs), their often low cycle stability and rate performance in electrochemical tests limit their practical application in sodium-ion batteries. Vacancies and coordinated water in the crystal structure occupy some of the [Fe(CN)6] holes, reducing the material's specific capacity. Furthermore, sodium ion migration can cause structural distortion or collapse, leading to low specific capacity and rate performance. As cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries, PBAs themselves have low electronic conductivity, resulting in poor rate performance and cycle stability. Moreover, practical applications require higher energy densities, which need to be improved.

[0005] Therefore, developing PBAs with good crystal structures is crucial, and the development of high-performance, high-energy-density, and high-quality Prussian blue is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

[0016] Step 4: Pour off the supernatant from the mixed solution obtained in Step 3, pour the bottom suspension into a centrifuge tube, add deionized water, and perform solid-liquid separation. High-speed centrifugation is preferred for solid-liquid separation, and the operation should be repeated at least three times. Then add organic solvent to the centrifuge tube and soak for a certain period of time before solid-liquid separation and drying. Preferably, place it in a vacuum oven at 120°C for drying to obtain Prussian blue materials.

[0017] The complexing agent sodium salt includes at least one of sodium citrate, sodium pyrophosphate, sodium oxalate, disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate, sodium tartrate, trisodium aminotriacetate, sodium gluconate, and sodium hexametaphosphate; preferably sodium citrate.
