Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sodium ion battery positive electrode materials, and in particular to a nickel-iron-manganese ternary layered positive electrode material with surface segregation in-situ coating of primary particle size and bulk doping of high-valent metal ions, and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in new energy vehicles and energy storage systems, significantly transforming our daily lives. However, the uneven distribution of global resources, coupled with rising lithium and cobalt prices, has limited their further development. Sodium-ion batteries, due to their similar operating principles and the abundance of sodium in the Earth's crust, significantly reduce production costs, making them a promising complementary option to lithium-ion batteries.

[0003] The cathode material is the key to prepare high performance sodium ion batteries, and layered transition metal oxides Na x MO2 (M represents a transition metal element) has become a research hotspot due to its simple synthesis and relatively excellent performance. Nickel-iron-manganese ternary materials, as a typical sodium-ion layered oxide cathode, exhibit high theoretical specific capacity and are considered to be a very promising cathode material. During the material preparation process, the most suitable scalable synthesis method is to synthesize the target material precursor through co-precipitation, followed by high-temperature sodium sintering to obtain a micron-sized secondary particle material formed by the agglomeration of primary grains. This material has high tap density, uniform particle size distribution, and excellent electrochemical performance.

[0004] Na x The performance degradation mechanism of MO2 layered oxide cathode materials mainly focuses on the following three aspects: (1) The transition metal layer is prone to slip during charge and discharge, triggering multiple phase transitions of O3-P3 or P2-O2, resulting in a decrease in the diffusion rate of sodium ions and poor cycle stability; (2) The low charge density and redox potential of sodium ions lead to poor air stability of the material. External H2O and CO2 react with sodium ions on the particle surface, causing an increase in the amount of residual alkali on the surface of the material and gelation of the slurry, resulting in a sharp increase in the storage cost of the material; (3) In view of the fact that Na + Due to the larger ion radius, the volume change of the material during the charge and discharge cycle is more obvious than that of lithium-containing materials, and greater stress is generated inside the particles, inducing the formation of microcracks, blocking the electron and ion transmission channels, and making it easier to destroy the long-term cycle stability of the material.

[0005] Ion doping and surface coating are both effective means of improving material structure and interfacial stability, enhancing the electrochemical performance of sodium-ion layered cathode materials to a certain extent. However, due to the inherent intrinsic properties of sodium ions, the results of these two methods for modifying sodium-ion layered materials are still insufficient to support their application in sodium-ion batteries. Therefore, developing a material modification method with simpler processes and superior electrochemical performance is a highly worthy research direction. Summary of the Invention

[0031] Ion doping and surface coating can, to a certain extent, improve the material structure and interface stability, and enhance the electrochemical performance of sodium-ion layered cathode materials. However, due to the inherent intrinsic defect characteristics of sodium ions, the results of the modification research on sodium-ion layered materials using these two methods are still insufficient to support their application in sodium-ion batteries. Studies have shown that after certain metal elements within a certain concentration range are doped into the material precursor, during the sintering process, the energy barrier for the formation of sodium-containing composite oxides on the surface of the primary grains is smaller than that for the formation of sodium-containing composite oxides in the interior of the particles. Therefore, they tend to precipitate on the surface of the primary grains and spontaneously form a coating layer.

[0032] The basic concept of the present invention is to dope W, Mo, Ru, Sb, Nb or Ta elements in the nickel-iron-manganese layered oxide positive electrode material, and form a self-segregation coating layer on the particle surface through concentration induction, thereby improving the cycle stability of the material.

[0033] Based on this, a typical embodiment of the present invention provides a nickel-iron-manganese layered oxide positive electrode material, the expression of which is Na[Ni x Fe y Mn z M b ]O2@(ab) Na i MO k ; Wherein, M is one or more of W, Mo, Ru, Sb, Nb or Ta; 0.1< x, y, z, a, b < 1; Na i MO k is the self-cladding layer formed, i=1 or 2, k=3 or 4.

[0034] Another typical embodiment of the present invention provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned nickel-iron-manganese layered oxide positive electrode material, which adopts the concentration induction method to obtain the product by roasting the nickel-iron-manganese layered oxide positive electrode material precursor doped with a certain concentration of elements such as W, Mo, Ru, Sb, Nb or Ta and sodium salt, including the following steps.

[0035] Step 1: Add the first solution containing Ni, Fe, and Mn salts and the second solution containing M salts into the reactor, add alkali solution to control the pH value to 9-13, heat and reflux at 40-70 ° C and stir, and filter, wash and dry the precipitate in the reactor after the reaction to obtain the precursor Ni e Fe f Mn g M d (OH) 2+d , d>0.

[0036] The preferred stirring speed is 500-800 r / min, and the reaction time is 25-48 h.

[0037] The washing process is to repeatedly wash with deionized water, filter and remove impurities in the solution; the drying process is to dry the washed precursor at 90-120°C.

[0038] The nickel salt is selected from NiSO4·6H2O; the manganese salt is selected from MnSO4·H2O; and the iron salt is selected from FeSO4·7H2O.

[0039] In the M salt, the tungsten salt is selected from W (CH3COO) 6, NaWO4, NH4WO4, [(NH4)4 6W7O 24 ·6H2O]、H 28 N6O 41 W 12 At least one of; Molybdenum salt is selected from C 48 H 90 MoO 12 , MoO3, Na2MoO4, (NH4)2MoO4 at least one; ruthenium salt is selected from Ru(C2O4)2, C l2 H 18 At least one of N6Ru, (C5H5)2Ru, C6Cl4O6Ru2; antimony salt is selected from at least one of Sb(CH3COO)3, NaO3Sb, SbOCl and (SbO)2SO4, Sb(C6H5)3, Sb2(C6H5)4; niobium salt is selected from C 10 H5NbO 20 、C 10 H 25 At least one of NbO5, the tantalum salt is selected from TaF5, TaCl5, TaBr5, C 10 H 25 At least one of O5Ta.

[0040] The total amount of Ni, Fe and Mn and C 10 H 25 The molar ratio of NbO5 is (4~99):1.

[0041] The alkali solution is selected from sodium hydroxide (NaOH), ammonia (NH3H2O), hexamethylenetetramine HMT (C6H 12 N4) one or more. The concentration of the alkali solution is preferably 0.5-15 mol / L.

[0042] Step 2: The precursor obtained in step 1 is mixed with sodium salt in a stoichiometric ratio, calcined at 700-1000°C for 10-15 hours under an oxygen atmosphere, and cooled naturally to room temperature to obtain a nickel-iron-manganese ternary layered positive electrode material Na[Ni x Fe y Mn z M b ]O2@(ab) Na i MO k .

[0043] Wherein, the sodium salt is selected from Na2CO3; the molar ratio of the precursor to the sodium salt is 1: (1~1.2).

[0044] According to theoretical calculations and experimental verification, after metal elements such as W, Mo, Ru, Sb, Nb and Ta are doped into the cathode material precursor, due to the low surface energy of these elements and the concentration-induced mechanism, they spontaneously segregate and coat the surface of the primary grains of the cathode particles to form a protective layer.

[0045] The above method realizes one-step bulk doping and surface in-situ segregation of secondary phase to coat the primary particle size. The coating layer has the characteristics of thin thickness, uniform distribution, and in-situ coating, which can reduce the corrosion effect of the electrolyte on the positive electrode material and improve its air stability. At the same time, bulk doping can effectively reduce the structural phase change during the charging and discharging process, reduce stress and strain, and reduce the generation of microcracks between grains. The two have a positive effect on the cyclic stability, thermal stability and structural stability of the material.

[0046] The technical solutions claimed in the present invention are further illustrated below by means of some examples. However, the examples and comparative examples are intended to illustrate embodiments of the present invention and do not exceed the scope of the subject matter of the present invention.
