Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of sodium ion battery electrochemical energy storage devices, and particularly relates to a high-performance sodium ion battery positive electrode material co-doped with anions and cations. BACKGROUND

[0002] Lithium ion batteries have been widely used in portable electronic devices and electric vehicles due to their high voltage platform, high energy density and environmental friendliness. However, the low reserves of lithium resources in the earth's crust and high mining costs limit the application of lithium ion batteries in large-scale energy storage devices. Sodium ion batteries have similar working principles as lithium ion batteries, and sodium resources are abundant in the earth's crust, low in price and widely distributed, which has economic and environmental advantages over lithium. Therefore, sodium ion batteries, as the most promising alternative to lithium ion batteries, have attracted widespread attention from global researchers and battery manufacturers.

[0003] Sodium vanadium phosphate (Na3V2(PO4)3, abbreviated as NVP) has a NASICON structure, a stable three-dimensional structural framework and a large sodium ion channel. The strong covalent bond between anion units makes the structure stable, and the volume change during charging and discharging is small, meeting the requirements of long cycle life of the battery. However, NVP also has poor electronic conductivity, which makes the coulombic efficiency of NVP electrode low and the actual reversible capacity not ideal. In the NVP structure, the number of sodium ions participating in the electrochemical reaction is limited, and 1 mol of NVP can only provide 2 mol of sodium ions for reaction, resulting in a low theoretical specific capacity of 117 mAh g -1 . Therefore, how to increase the number of sodium ions participating in the electrochemical reaction in the VNP structure to improve the reversible specific capacity is a research hotspot in the field of NVP-based positive electrode materials, but it also presents a formidable challenge.

[0004] Generally, carbon-coated modification of NVP by traditional organic carbon sources is an effective way to improve the electronic conductivity and actual reversible capacity of such materials. However, vanadium in NVP has certain toxicity and is not very friendly to the environment, and is relatively expensive. In order to reduce the content of vanadium in NVP, researchers use cheap and environmentally friendly transition metals such as Mn, Fe, Ni, Ti, etc. to dope NVP to improve the electrochemical performance. In addition, fluorine has strong electronegativity, and the introduction of fluorine elements in electrode materials can reduce the charge transfer resistance in the electrode electrochemical reaction process, inhibit the irreversible transformation of the material structure, and improve the electrochemical activity. For example, Fe and F are doped into NVP combined with carbon nanotubes to improve the electrochemical performance of NVP, but the number of sodium ions involved in the electrochemical reaction is still limited, resulting in a reversible specific capacity of only 108 mAh / g at 1C, and the electrochemical performance needs to be further improved.
