Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of sodium ion battery negative electrode materials, and particularly relates to a spherical hard carbon negative electrode material, a preparation method thereof, a negative electrode sheet and a sodium ion battery. BACKGROUND

[0002] Rechargeable lithium ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used in portable electronic products and show great potential in electric vehicles and stationary energy storage. In order to meet the growing market demand, the application of high specific capacity negative electrode materials has attracted more and more attention. However, due to the limited reserves of lithium and uneven distribution of resources, the cost of lithium ion batteries has risen sharply, so it is urgent to find a cheap alternative energy source.

[0003] Metallic sodium has similar physical and chemical properties to lithium, and sodium resources are widely distributed and low in price, which makes sodium ion batteries very suitable for large-scale energy storage. However, due to the thermodynamic instability of intercalation compounds generated by sodium and graphite, and the fact that the ionic radius of sodium ions is larger than that of lithium ions, graphite is not suitable for storing sodium ions as a commercial negative electrode material for lithium ion batteries. Hard carbon has a larger interlayer spacing of carbon layers and is considered to be an ideal negative electrode material for sodium batteries.

[0004] In recent years, hard carbon materials have been widely studied. Among them, there have been some research results on the preparation of hard carbon negative electrode materials using some types of resins, but the existing resin-based hard carbon materials still cannot meet the requirements in terms of reversible specific capacity, cycle stability and other electrochemical properties when applied to the preparation of sodium ion batteries. SUMMARY

[0005] Therefore, in order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the application provides a spherical hard carbon negative electrode material with high reversible specific capacity, stable cycle performance and high first coulomb efficiency, a preparation method thereof, a negative electrode sheet and a sodium ion battery.

[0006] To this end, the application provides the following technical solutions.

[0007] In a first aspect, the application provides a preparation method of a spherical hard carbon negative electrode material, comprising the following steps:

[0008] Step 1, mixing and reacting a phenolic compound, an aldehyde compound and a catalyst to obtain a spherical phenolic aldehyde resin;

[0009] The catalyst is an organic ammonium salt; the anion of the organic ammonium salt is OH - , and the cation is a quaternary amine cation

[0010] R1-R4 are alkyl groups;

[0011] Step 2, carbonizing the spherical phenolic aldehyde resin.

[0012] Further, the R1-R4 are selected from one or more of methyl, ethyl, propyl or butyl;

[0013] Optionally, the thermal decomposition temperature of the organic ammonium salt is 100-300℃.

[0014] Optionally, the organic ammonium salt comprises at least one of tetramethylammonium hydroxide, tetraethylammonium hydroxide and dimethyldiethylammonium hydroxide.

[0015] Further, the amount of the catalyst added is 0.05-8% of the mass of the phenolic compound, including but not limited to 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, or a range between any two of the values, for example, 0.05-2%, 3-5%, etc. Preferably, the amount is 0.05-5%.

[0016] Further, the step 1 comprises mixing the phenolic compound, the aldehyde compound and the catalyst in a solvent to obtain a mixed solution, and reacting to obtain the spherical phenolic resin.

[0017] Optionally, the solvent is water or a mixture of alcohol and water.

[0018] Preferably, the alcohol is ethanol, methanol, isopropanol or butanol.

[0019] Preferably, in the mixture of alcohol and water, the volume ratio of alcohol to water is 0-0.5, including but not limited to 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, or a range between any two of the values, for example, 0.1-0.2, 0.3-0.4, etc.

[0020] Optionally, the concentration of the phenolic compound in the mixed solution is 0.20wt%-5wt%, including but not limited to 0.20wt%, 0.25wt%, 0.3wt%, 0.4wt%, 0.5wt%, 1wt%, 2wt%, 3wt%, 4wt%, 5wt%.

[0021] The higher the concentration of the phenolic compound, the larger the particle size. Controlling the concentration to be 0.20wt%-5wt% can avoid the agglomeration of the materials due to the too fast reaction speed.

[0022] Further, the meta position of the phenolic hydroxyl group of the phenolic compound in the step 1 contains at least one ortho-para directing group.

[0023] In the present application, the ortho-para directing group refers to a functional group that allows the newly added substituent to mainly enter its ortho and para positions (the sum of ortho and para isomers is greater than 60%), and activates the benzene ring, including but not limited to one or more of hydroxyl, amino, ester or alkyl.

[0024] Preferably, the phenolic compound includes one or more of resorcinol or m-aminophenol;

[0025] Further, the step 1 satisfies at least one of the following conditions:

[0026] (1) The aldehyde compound includes one or more of formaldehyde, glyoxal, furfural, or terephthaldehyde;

[0027] (2) The molar ratio of the phenolic compound to the aldehyde compound is 1:1.5-1:50, including but not limited to 1:1.5, 1:2, 1:3, 1:5, 1:10, 1:15, 1:20, 1:25, 1:30, 1:35, 1:40, 1:45, 1:50; controlling the molar ratio 1:1.5-1:50 can form a thermosetting spherical phenolic resin, avoiding the morphology being destroyed in the curing process.

[0028] (3) The reaction temperature is room temperature-100°C, including but not limited to 25°C, 30°C, 40°C, 50°C, 60°C, 70°C, 80°C, 90°C, 100°C, and the time is 2-24h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h, 7h, 9h, 10h, 15h, 20h, 22h, 24h.

[0029] Further, the step 2 includes first carbonization and second carbonization, and the second carbonization temperature is greater than the first carbonization temperature;

[0030] Further, the step 2 satisfies at least one of the following conditions:

[0031] (1) The first carbonization temperature is 300°C-1000°C, including but not limited to 300°C, 400°C, 500°C, 600°C, 700°C, 800°C, 900°C, 1000°C;

[0032] (2) The second carbonization temperature is 1100°C-1800°C, including but not limited to 1100°C, 1200°C, 1300°C, 1400°C, 1500°C, 1600°C, 1700°C, 1800°C;

[0033] (3) The first carbonization and / or second carbonization time is 1h-24h, including but not limited to 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 10h, 15h, 20h, 22h, 24h;

[0034] (4) The first carbonization and / or second carbonization heating rate is 1°C / min-10°C / min, including but not limited to 1°C / min, 2°C / min, 3°C / min, 4°C / min, 5°C / min, 6°C / min, 7°C / min, 8°C / min, 9°C / min, 10°C / min;

[0035] (5) The first carbonization and / or the second carbonization are carried out in a protective atmosphere;

[0036] (6) The first carbonization and / or the second carbonization are carried out in a nitrogen, argon or helium atmosphere;

[0037] (7) The carbonization equipment used for the first carbonization and / or the second carbonization is a box furnace, tube furnace, vertical furnace or kiln.

[0038] In this invention, carbonization of spherical resin at temperatures between 300 and 1000°C helps eliminate some impurities and increases the microstructural order of the material, resulting in a rougher surface morphology and higher reversible specific capacity. During the first carbonization process, the relatively low thermal energy enhances the mobility of polymer chain segments without destroying the network macromolecular structure, leading to tighter cross-linking of the polymer chains. During the second carbonization, the cross-linked structure resulting from the first carbonization is maintained or further enhanced, improving the structural stability of the resin-based hard carbon material and exhibiting superior cycle stability in electrochemical characterization. The second carbonization temperature is between 1100 and 1800°C, preventing excessively high temperatures from causing the disappearance of some micropores in the hard carbon and affecting capacity performance.

[0039] Secondly, the present invention provides a spherical hard carbon anode material prepared by the above method.

[0040] Furthermore, the D of the spherical hard carbon anode material v 50 ranges from 1.2μm to 17μm;

[0041] Furthermore, the D of the spherical hard carbon anode material v 50 is 3μm to 15μm;

[0042] Preferably, the tap density of the spherical hard carbon anode material is ≥0.70 g / cm³. 3 Specific surface area ≤ 6m² 2 / g.

[0043] If the D of spherical phenolic resin v 50 is too small. The spherical hard carbon anode material, after carbonization, has a large specific surface area. This leads to more side reactions between the electrolyte and the hard carbon material surface during charge and discharge, which is detrimental to improving the initial coulombic efficiency of the hard carbon anode material. If the D of the spherical phenolic resin is too small... v A value of 50 is too high, resulting in significant polarization and a tendency for sodium precipitation, leading to deterioration in cycle performance. This invention utilizes an organic ammonium salt as a catalyst to improve the D-phase efficiency of spherical phenolic resin. v The 50 is controlled between 1.5μm and 20μm, which makes the final spherical hard carbon anode material have high initial coulombic efficiency, reversible capacity and cycle stability.

[0044] The preparation method of the application controls the size of the spherical hard carbon negative material in a reasonable range, and does not need additional spheroidization treatment, and the preparation process is simple.

[0045] In the application, the organic ammonium salt forms quaternary amine cations in the ionization process, the catalysis of the quaternary amine cations can form more emulsion droplets as growth cores to accelerate the nucleation speed, and the quaternary amine cations can also adhere to the surface of the liquid droplets to provide positive charges to prevent the liquid droplets from agglomerating with each other. In addition, hydroxyl ions are also generated in the ionization process, and the presence of the hydroxyl ions can effectively improve the reaction efficiency in the sol-gel process, shorten the reaction time, and be beneficial to industrial production, so that the D v 50 is a spherical phenolic resin with a size of 1.5 μm-20 μm. At the same time, the organic ammonium salt can decompose into small molecules such as ammonia, methanol and dimethyl ether during the carbonization process, and the prepared spherical hard carbon does not contain alkali residues, which can improve the stability of the negative electrode slurry. At the same time, the escape of small molecules can form many microporous structures in the spherical hard carbon, and these microporous structures can act as sodium storage sites during the charging and discharging process of the sodium battery, thereby greatly improving the reversible specific capacity of the resin-based hard carbon. If only inorganic strong alkali is added, the phenolic resin cannot be spheroidized due to too fast reaction; if only ammonia water is added, the reaction activity is too slow, the reaction time is too long, and it is not conducive to industrial production.

[0046] In a third aspect, the application provides a negative electrode sheet comprising the spherical hard carbon negative material.

[0047] In a fourth aspect, the application provides a sodium ion battery comprising the negative electrode sheet.

[0048] The positive progress effect of the application is that:

[0049] 1. The spherical resin hard carbon negative material has large reversible specific capacity, high first coulomb efficiency and good cycle performance, and the comprehensive performance of the button cell prepared therefrom is excellent, and has the following advantages: 1) good electrochemical performance, reversible specific capacity is above 326 mAh / g; 2) high first coulomb efficiency, above 92.3%; 3) good cycle performance (1000 cycles, capacity retention is ≥90.9%).

[0099] In Comparative Example 1, the particle size of the spheres is reduced by using ammonia instead of the same amount of tetramethylammonium hydroxide. When the particle size is too small, the specific surface area of the material is large, and side reactions with the electrolyte are prone to occur, resulting in a significant decrease in the initial capacity and cycle performance of the material. In Comparative Example 2, the phenolic resin obtained by using sodium hydroxide as the catalyst is a liquid and cannot be formed into spheres, and the electrochemical performance is significantly deteriorated.
