Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of sodium ion battery positive electrode materials, in particular to a high-entropy doped NASICON type sodium ion battery positive electrode material and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development and popularization of renewable new energy, it is essential to develop low-cost, high-performance and sustainable electrochemical energy storage and conversion systems. Sodium ion batteries are considered to be a strong candidate for the next generation of large-scale electrical energy storage systems due to their wide resource distribution and low cost. However, in order to develop more competitive sodium ion batteries, it is necessary to have a more comprehensive understanding of the storage mechanism of sodium ions and to make great efforts to develop electrode materials with higher specific energy and longer service life, especially positive electrode materials.

[0003] At present, researchers have studied various types of sodium ion battery positive electrode materials, such as layered transition metal oxides, polyanion compounds and prussian blue analogues. Among them, polyanion materials have become a strong candidate due to their robust open structure. The most representative NASICON type compounds, such as Na3V2(PO4)3, Na3V2(PO4)2O2F and Na3V2(PO4)2F3, are connected through the corner sharing between PO4 tetrahedron and MO6 octahedron to form a very solid and stable open framework structure, and have good Na + mobility and thermal stability, so they are widely developed and researched for electrode materials. For example, Na3V2(PO4)3 has a working voltage of about 3.4V and can provide a theoretical capacity of about 118mA h g -1 . However, the only 3.4V (vs. Na + / Na) voltage platform limits the improvement of energy density, and in recent years, different transition metal ions (such as Cr, Mn, Fe, Zn, Al, Ga, In, etc.) have been doped to activate the V 4+ / V 5+ redox pair at a higher voltage to meet the demand for high energy density. At the same time, due to the inherent poor electronic conductivity, it affects its further widespread application. For this reason, various strategies have been developed to overcome this shortcoming, including composite carbon materials, structural nanocrystallization, cation doping, etc. Among them, carbon coating as the most common and effective means still faces the results of excessive carbon causing energy density reduction and complex preparation process.

[0004] Therefore, how to realize the intrinsic conductivity and energy density of the NASICON type sodium ion battery positive electrode material to be optimized and improved, and to maintain its own long cycle stability, is a technical problem to be solved. SUMMARY

[0013] The calcination temperature can be 650℃, 700℃, 750℃, 800℃ or 850℃, or other values ​​within this range;

[0014] The heat preservation time can be 6h, 7h, 8h, 9h or 10h, or other values ​​within this range.

[0015] Further, the dispersing medium is one of paraffin wax, palm wax, stearic acid or Span.

[0016] Further, in step S1, the amount of the dispersing medium added is 50-100% of the theoretically calculated mass of the harvested material, such as 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% or 100%, or other values within the range.

[0017] Further, in step S2, the drying temperature is 60-80℃, and the drying time is 8-12h. The drying temperature can be 60℃, 65℃, 70℃, 75℃ or 80℃, or other values within the range; the drying time can be 8h, 10h or 12h, or other values within the range.

[0068] Example 5: Preparation of a coin cell sodium-ion battery

[0069] The active material, acetylene black (AB), and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) were added to an N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) solution in a molar ratio of 7:2:1. After grinding and dispersing, the slurry was uniformly coated onto aluminum foil and dried overnight in a vacuum oven at 80°C to prepare the positive electrode sheet. The active materials were Na3V2(PO4)3 prepared in Comparative Example 1 and Na3V2(PO4)3 prepared in Example 1, respectively. 1.8 (CrMnFeZnAl) 0.2 (PO4)3, Na3V prepared in Example 2 1.5 (CrMnFeZnAl) 0.5 (PO4)3; Acetylene black is a conductive additive, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is a binder, and aluminum foil is a current collector.

[0070] In an argon-filled glove box with H2O and O2 concentrations below 0.1 ppm, 2025 coin cells were assembled. The electrolyte was a solution of 1 M NaPF6 dissolved in propylene carbonate (PC) and 5% fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC). Sodium foil was used as the counter electrode, and a glass fiber membrane was used as the separator for the half-cell, assembling a CR2025 coin cell. Testing was conducted using a constant current charge-discharge mode, with a charge cutoff voltage of 4.3 V and a discharge cutoff voltage of 2.5 V, at 100 mA g. -1 The experiment was conducted at a current density of [specific value].

[0071] Please see Figure 6 The Na3V2(PO4)3 and Na3V prepared in this invention 1.8 (CrMnFeZnAl) 0.2 (PO4)3 and Na3V 1.5 (CrMnFeZnAl) 0.5 CV curve of (PO4)3NASICON type sodium-ion battery cathode material at a scan rate of 1 mV / s. Figure 6It can be seen that Na3V 1.8 (CrMnFeZnAl) 0.2 (PO4)3and Na3V 1.5 (CrMnFeZnAl) 0.5 (PO4)3has a new redox peak at about 3.9V compared with Na3V2(PO4)3, which can be identified as the redox reaction of V 4+ / 5+ .

[0072] Please refer to Figure 7 , Na3V2(PO4)3, Na3V 1.8 (CrMnFeZnAl) 0.2 (PO4)3and Na3V 1.5 (CrMnFeZnAl) 0.5 (PO4)3NASICON-type sodium-ion battery cathode material at 1C (100mA / g) rate. From Figure 7 It can be seen that Na3V 1.8 (CrMnFeZnAl) 0.2 (PO4)3and Na3V 1.5 (CrMnFeZnAl) 0.5 (PO4)3has a new redox pair corresponding to the CV curve, which improves the overall voltage of Na3V2(PO4)3, and the increase of the content of the doping element also improves the capacity of the high redox platform, but Na3V 1.5 (CrMnFeZnAl) 0.5 (PO4)3has a low overall capacity.

[0073] Please refer to Figure 8 , Na3V2(PO4)3, Na3V 1.8 (CrMnFeZnAl) 0.2 (PO4)3and Na3V 1.5 (CrMnFeZnAl) 0.5 (PO4)3NASICON-type sodium-ion battery cathode material at 1C current density. From Figure 8 It can be seen that the appropriate amount of high-entropy element reduces the content of active element vanadium without reducing the capacity, but rather makes Na3V 1.8 (CrMnFeZnAl) 0.2 (PO4)3has more stable cycle performance than Na3V2(PO4)3, but excessive doping may cause structural instability and thus lead to capacity reduction. The capacity retention rate can reach 95% after 450 cycles at 1C current density, indicating that the cathode material of the application has excellent cycle stability and rate performance.

[0074] Reference is made to Figure 9 Na3V2(PO4)3, Na3V 1.8 (CrMnFeZnAl) 0.2 (PO4)3and Na3V 1.5 (CrMnFeZnAl) 0.5 (PO4)3NASICON-type sodium-ion battery cathode material in one charge-discharge cycle. From Figure 9 It can be seen that all of them undergo solid solution reaction mechanism and two-phase reaction mechanism. The difference is that Na3V 1.8 (CrMnFeZnAl) 0.2 (PO4)3and Na3V 1.5 (CrMnFeZnAl) 0.5 (PO4)3in the marked area, which means the appearance of the transition state, and with the increase of high-entropy content, the intensity of the peak is more obvious, indicating that the stability of the crystal structure in this area is higher. It can be seen that the increase of entropy caused by multi-element doping leads to the interaction of each element, thus realizing the evolution adjustment of the structure transition state in the charge-discharge process, further stabilizing the crystal structure and enhancing the performance.
