Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of sodium ion batteries, and in particular to a positive electrode material, a preparation method thereof, and a battery. Background Art
[0002] Sodium-ion batteries first appeared in the early 1980s, but research on them stagnated due to the superior performance of lithium-ion batteries. However, with the growing demand for power batteries, the limited and expensive reserves of lithium-ion battery materials have made the search for alternative materials urgent.
[0003] Sodium, with its abundant resources, widespread distribution, and low price, has shown great potential in applications such as low-cost vehicles and large-scale energy storage power plants. Current sodium-ion battery cathode materials primarily include transition metal layered oxides, such as sodium manganate, sodium cobaltate, sodium nickelate, and their derivatives, as well as olivine, sodium ferric phosphate, and its derivatives.
[0004] These layered oxides can generally be divided into two types: O3 and P2 structures. However, current layered oxides undergo a series of phase transitions during electrochemical cycling due to the sliding of the layers. In particular, the oxidation of oxide ions in the oxide leads to partial oxygen loss, resulting in irreversible phase transitions in the material structure (such as the O3 to P2 phase transition), which ultimately leads to capacity decay. How to inhibit irreversible phase transitions during electrochemical cycling has become an urgent problem for sodium-ion battery cathode materials. Summary of the Invention

[0046] In view of the capacity decay problem caused by the irreversible phase transition of sodium ion battery cathode materials in the related art, the inventors of this application have sought a cathode material that is doped with an element at the Na element site. This element doping can effectively inhibit the structural phase transition of sodium ion batteries during the electrochemical cycle, thereby effectively suppressing the capacity decay problem of sodium ion batteries. The specific implementation method is described as follows:
[0047] Some embodiments of the present application provide a sodium ion battery cathode material, the general formula of which is A x BO2; wherein the A site element includes Na and a doping element X, and the doping element X is selected from one or more of K, Ca, Fe, Mg and Li; the B site element includes Mn; wherein 0.5≤x≤1.
[0048] Among them, since the doping element X is selected from one or more of K, Ca, Fe, Mg and Li, and these doping element ions have similar ionic radii to sodium ions, these ions can be doped into the sodium ion site, and the resulting positive electrode material can effectively inhibit the irreversible phase change of the sodium ion battery during the electric energy cycle. Moreover, through testing, it is found that when the resulting positive electrode material is applied to a sodium ion battery, it can effectively inhibit the capacity decay of the sodium ion battery and improve the cycle stability and rate performance of the sodium ion battery.
[0049] There is no specific limitation on the doping amount of the doping element X, as long as the introduction of the doping element X can effectively dope some sodium ion sites.
[0050] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of Na element to doping element X in the A-site elements is 0.67:(0.005-0.05).
[0051] In these embodiments, by controlling the molar ratio of the Na element to the doping element X within the above range, the occurrence of irreversible phase change of the sodium ion battery can be effectively suppressed while ensuring the sodium ion content in the sodium ion battery.
[0052] In some embodiments, the B-site element further includes a doping element Y, and the doping element Y is selected from one or more of Co, Fe, Ni, Cu, Mg, Al, and V.
[0053] In these embodiments, by doping the doping elements Y at the B site, the positive electrode material can be further prevented from undergoing irreversible phase change.
[0054] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of the doping element Y in the B-site elements is less than or equal to 0.6.
[0055] In these embodiments, by controlling the molar ratio of the doping element Y within the above range, the irreversible phase transition of the sodium ion battery can be effectively suppressed.
[0056] In some embodiments, the chemical formula of the positive electrode material is Na 0.67 Ca z Fe a Co b Mn (1-a-b) O2, z is 0.005-0.05, a is 0-0.2, and b is 0-0.2.
[0057] In some embodiments, the chemical formula of the positive electrode material is Na 0.67 Co 0.1 Fe 0.1 Mn 0.8 O2.
[0058] The present invention also provides a method for preparing a positive electrode material, comprising:

[0060] The sol-gel method involves dispersing raw materials in a solvent, generating reactive monomers through hydrolysis, which then polymerize to form a sol. The sol then ages to form a gel with a defined spatial structure. The desired material is then produced through drying and heat treatment.
[0061] In some embodiments, the preparation raw materials comprising A-site elements, B-site elements and O elements include: one or more of the acetates, nitrates, sulfates and chlorides of each element in the A-site elements, and one or more of the acetates, nitrates, sulfates and chlorides of each element in the B-site elements.

[0064] preparing a mixed solution from raw materials containing an A-site element, a B-site element, and an O element;

[0066] drying and grinding the gel to obtain a precursor;
[0067] Pre-firing the precursor;

[0071] In some embodiments, the pre-firing atmosphere is air or oxygen, the pre-firing temperature is 350-600° C., and the pre-firing time is 4-6 hours.

[0074] In some embodiments, the calcination temperature is 800-980° C., and the calcination time is 15-18 hours.

In addition, since the larger the capacity released at high rate, the better the battery performance, and the larger the reversible capacity, the more conducive to maintaining battery performance and reducing capacity attenuation, the reversible specific capacity of the positive electrode materials provided in the comparative examples and examples at a rate of 5C is obtained from Tables 1 and Figure 4 It can be seen that compared with Comparative Examples 1 to 4, the reversible specific capacity of the positive electrode material provided in Example 1 can reach 55 mAh / g at a rate of 5C, indicating that the capacity attenuation of the positive electrode material provided in Example 1 is small and the cycle stability is good.
