Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of sodium-ion battery technology, specifically relating to a multi-metal co-regulated layered oxide sodium-ion battery cathode material with excellent electrochemical performance, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] With societal development, the demand for energy is increasing daily. Under these circumstances, limited traditional fossil fuels can no longer meet the long-term needs of human development. Especially in recent years, the continuous exploitation of fossil fuels has led to increasingly serious energy crises and environmental pollution. To better adapt to societal development and achieve long-term stability for humanity, the exploration of sustainable energy is particularly important and urgent. Recently, renewable energy sources such as wind, hydro, and tidal power have received widespread attention due to their clean and pollution-free characteristics, and have been applied in some regions. However, constrained by regional and intermittent limitations, they are difficult to achieve long-term development. Therefore, exploring more sustainable, efficient, and portable energy storage systems is of far-reaching significance. Thus, through continuous research and development by scientists, lithium-ion batteries, as energy storage devices with high electrochemical capacity and long cycle stability, have gradually developed and ultimately achieved successful commercial application, entering the production and daily lives of millions of households as energy storage devices. However, the limited lithium reserves and the surge in demand for energy vehicles and other devices in recent years have led to a continuous increase in lithium prices, which is detrimental to long-term social development. Therefore, there is a need to develop lower-consumption, high-performance, and sustainable energy storage devices. During research, sodium, a member of the same group as lithium, was found to possess many excellent properties, such as abundant sodium reserves and similar physicochemical properties to lithium. Furthermore, their material systems are also quite similar, making sodium considered the most promising next-generation energy storage device to replace lithium-ion batteries. However, the larger radius of sodium ions compared to lithium ions makes migration more difficult during electrochemical cycling and can easily cause structural collapse. Therefore, it is necessary to find more suitable cathode materials to mitigate these adverse effects. Transition metal layered oxide materials have been widely studied as cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries due to their high operating voltage and electrochemical capacity. However, the complex phase transition processes during cycling limit their commercialization. Therefore, more suitable modification strategies need to be designed to obtain high-performance, long-term stable sodium-ion battery cathode materials. Summary of the Invention
