Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of secondary batteries, and particularly relates to a composite carbon material, a preparation method thereof, a negative electrode sheet and a secondary battery. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of automobile electrification, the demand for lithium-ion power batteries in the society is increasing, leading to the increasingly tight supply of lithium resources and the high price. In another direction, with the rapid advancement of the national "carbon peak and carbon neutral" strategy, cheap, sustainable and safe energy storage batteries have become the main development force. And the lithium-ion battery is the dominant position in the energy storage battery, therefore, the rapid development of the energy storage industry also intensifies the rapid consumption of lithium resources, leading to a supply and demand imbalance. Therefore, it is urgent to develop new energy storage batteries based on non-lithium-ion batteries. Sodium-ion batteries have the advantages of low cost, abundant resources, good safety and environmental friendliness, and are suitable for large-scale energy storage. However, the radius of sodium ions is large, and they are not compatible with graphite layers, making it difficult to embed them in graphite materials, so it is crucial to develop suitable non-graphite negative electrodes.

[0003] Unlike graphite, hard carbon or soft carbon materials have long-range disorder and short-range order structure, have a larger interlayer spacing, and contain pores, which are suitable for sodium ion insertion and extraction. However, it is difficult to form a stable SEI film on the surface of hard carbon or soft carbon materials, leading to the co-embedding of solvents. In addition, unlike the structure of lithium in graphite, sodium in hard carbon or soft carbon generally exists in a metallic state, has strong reducing properties, and is prone to react with organic solvents to produce hydrogen and other gases. The continuous formation of a thick SEI layer will inhibit sodium insertion and easily cause surface sodium precipitation, posing a safety hazard. Therefore, the surface needs to be modified to inhibit the occurrence of side reactions and improve the cycle life and safety performance of the battery. SUMMARY

From the comparison of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-10, it can be seen that when sulfide ceramics, oxide ceramics, and conductive carbon are used at the same time, and the particle size and proportion of the oxide ceramics and the sulfide ceramics are controlled and heat treatment is performed at a reasonable temperature, the coating effect is better, the cycle life of the obtained battery is longer, and the battery does not swell after cycling; the use of sodium ion conductive oxide ceramics and sulfide ceramics is better than that of ordinary inert oxides and sulfides, the cycle life of the obtained battery is longer, and the battery does not swell after cycling, and the above conditions are interrelated, and any deviation from the above conditions will not improve the performance of the battery.

[0093] From the comparison of Example 1 and Examples 2-3, it can be seen that the use of nanometer carbon tubes and nanometer carbon fibers with better conductivity is better, and the cycle life of the obtained battery is longer. From the comparison of Example 1 and Examples 4-6, it can be seen that the use of doped oxide ceramics and sulfide ceramics is better, and the use of doped oxide ceramics and sulfide ceramics at the same time is better, and the cycle life of the obtained battery is longer, and the above conditions are interrelated, and any deviation from the above conditions will not improve the performance of the battery. From Examples 7-8, it can be seen that after the surface solid-state electrolyte modification of amorphous carbon, the cycle stability of sodium ion batteries based on layered oxides / hard carbon, polyanion / soft carbon, and Prussian blue / soft carbon is also good, and the battery does not swell.
