Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of sodium ion battery materials, and particularly relates to a copper-aluminum-based Prussian blue compound synergistically modified copper-aluminum-based sodium ion battery positive oxide and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the intensification of energy crisis and environmental pollution problems caused by overconsumption of fossil fuels, the development of green and sustainable energy storage technology is of great significance to human society. Lithium ion batteries are widely used in portable electronic products, electronic devices and electric vehicles due to their relatively high energy density and long cycle life. However, the limited reserves, uneven distribution and increasing cost of lithium resources greatly hinder the application of lithium ion batteries in large-scale energy storage. In order to meet the growing demand for electric vehicles and grid-scale power storage, people urgently need advanced energy storage systems with high cost performance. Sodium ion batteries, with their obvious advantages of abundant resources and low cost, are becoming a highly potential electrochemical energy storage device, especially suitable for large-scale applications.
[0003] Since the positive electrode is the key element determining the cost and energy density, people have been committed to exploring advanced positive electrode materials with high reversible capacity, high redox potential, good cycle stability and fast sodium ion migration rate. Among the reported positive electrode candidate materials, including layered oxides, polyanion compounds, Prussian blue analogues and organic salts, layered oxides are considered to be the most promising system due to their high theoretical specific capacity, suitable working voltage and easy large-scale synthesis. However, the structural instability and electrochemical decay caused by the irreversible phase transition of this kind of material are the main challenges hindering its application. This irreversible phase transition and structural distortion will lead to the degradation of the structure and capacity decay of the positive electrode material.
[0004] At present, the widely used solution measures for the above problems are doping and coating. The transition metal ions in the layered positive electrode material can cause the performance to decrease, because these metal ions can cause irreversible migration in the cycle process, thus causing the material structure to be distorted and irreversible phase change. In order to inhibit this phenomenon, doping some electrochemically active / non-active elements (such as Mg, Zn, Al, Cu and Li) has certain effect. However, the trace doping cannot fundamentally hinder the phase change from occurring, and with the continuous cycle of charging and discharging, the doping ions cannot hinder the structure degradation and phase change from occurring. At the same time, the existing coating is only to coat a layer of oxide on the surface of the material, although it can slightly avoid the contact between the material and the electrolyte, and increase the service life, but the unevenness of the coating material is easy to be criticized, and the conventional coating layer on the surface of the positive electrode material causes the material structure to be broken due to the anisotropic strain, so that the coating is gradually crushed and even falls off from the material surface with the long cycle. SUMMARY

[0014] Preferably, in step S1, the preparation method of the copper-aluminum-based sodium-ion battery cathode oxide comprises:
[0015] (1) adding sodium carbonate powder and oxides of Cu, Al and M according to the raw material ratio into anhydrous ethanol, uniformly mixing by wet ball milling, and drying;
[0016] (2) performing high-temperature solid-phase sintering on the obtained dry powder, to obtain the copper-aluminum-based sodium-ion battery cathode oxide.
[0017] Preferably, in step (2), the high-temperature solid-phase sintering is two-stage sintering; the temperature of the first-stage sintering is 400-650°C, and the holding time is 4-8h; the temperature of the second-stage sintering is 750-1200°C, and the holding time is 8-16h.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0031] (1) In the sodium ion positive electrode material in the application, the valence of Cu and Al elements in the positive electrode material body is stable, which can effectively maintain the stability of the layered positive electrode material structure. These elements also have excellent metal strength and thermal stability, which can enhance the mechanical strength and thermal stability of the positive electrode material. The oxidation and reduction of Fe, Mn and Ni elements are extremely strong, which can provide sufficient electrochemical capacity. Unlike ordinary coating structure, in the positive electrode material of the application, the copper and aluminum ions on the interface between the Prussian blue compound and the oxide positive electrode material keep the two phases on the interface closely connected and make the two phases interpenetrate, thereby ensuring that the sodium ion transmission of the oxide can quickly pass through the interface from the oxide into the Prussian blue material, and then conduct sodium ions through the open three-dimensional structure of the Prussian blue, improving the ion and electron transmission rate of the material. Moreover, since the positive electrode material and the modified material copper aluminum-based Prussian blue compound use similar copper aluminum matrix material, the consistency of the material surface and the interior is ensured, the conductive particles can be quickly transmitted in the interior (matrix) and the exterior (modification layer) of the material, and the ion diffusion will not be hindered due to different crystal structures. The interior matrix and the exterior modified material can also form corresponding covalent bonds, ensuring the stability of the material surface and the ion transmission channel, and the surface energy will not change due to the introduction of different elements. At the same time, the two-phase interpenetrating coexistence of copper and aluminum ions can link the two-phase interface, eliminate the obvious interface, and avoid the phase change that easily occurs in the process of sodium extraction of the positive electrode material, thereby inhibiting the structural instability and capacity decay caused by phase change. Therefore, the positive electrode material has good charge and discharge performance, conductivity, structural stability and electrochemical cycle stability.
[0032] (2) In the preparation method of the application, the copper aluminum-based sodium ion battery positive electrode oxide is prepared, then PVP, copper source and aluminum source are dissolved in sodium citrate solution with the copper aluminum-based sodium ion battery positive electrode oxide, and then solid-liquid reaction is carried out under high pressure and high temperature to embed copper and aluminum ions on the surface of the positive electrode oxide. Then, high-energy ball milling reaction is carried out with Na4Fe(CN)6 anhydrous powder, and then the modified positive electrode material with interpenetrating coexistence of two phases linking the two-phase interface is obtained after washing and drying. The preparation method of the application has simple process steps, and the main material is prepared by mature solid phase sintering method, which is easy to industrialize.
