Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of sodium ion batteries, and relates to a preparation method of a sodium ion battery electrode material, in particular to a preparation method of a phosphate or fluorophosphate polyanion compound and application of the phosphate or fluorophosphate polyanion compound in a sodium ion battery electrode material. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, with the proposal of the "double carbon" policy and the goal of building a new energy-based new power system, as the key to regulating new energy volatility, indirectness and achieving grid stability, the energy storage industry has always maintained high attention, and alkali metal (Li, Na, K) ion batteries are an important part of portable large-scale fixed energy storage. Among them, lithium ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used in electric vehicles and electronic devices due to their high energy density, high electrode potential, stable cycle performance and environmental friendliness, but in recent years, the limitation of lithium sources has led to high prices of lithium ion battery cathode materials, and sodium ion batteries have also attracted more and more attention because they have similar working principles to lithium ion batteries and low-cost and abundant sodium sources, so it is particularly important to develop sodium ion ion battery cathode materials with excellent performance.

[0003] Polyanion materials such as sodium iron phosphate, sodium pyrophosphate, sodium fluorophosphate, and sodium phosphate pyrophosphate have become the preferred positive electrode materials of alkali metal ion batteries due to their structural stability, safety and other advantages. In the production process of phosphate and fluorophosphate polyanion materials, the precursors are mixed by ball milling or sand milling, and then dried to obtain the precursors before high-temperature calcination to form phases. However, in the phase formation reaction, the chemical reaction mechanism and thermal effect between different types of precursors are not the same, which greatly affects the heat treatment conditions and reaction uniformity of the phase formation process. When the mass of the precursor increases, the above-mentioned thermal effect on the reaction and product uniformity is intensified, which further affects the product purity and has a great impact on the rate performance and cycle stability of the product. SUMMARY

[0004] To solve the above problems, the application provides a method for accurately regulating the heat treatment process of product phase formation according to the thermal effect difference between different precursors, which effectively reduces the influence of heat accumulation in the precursor phase formation process on the uniformity of the overall heat treatment process through the design of a specific reaction container. The introduction of the above technical means can still prepare phosphate and fluorophosphate polyanion materials with high purity, high specific capacity, high rate performance and high cycle stability even when the mass of the precursor increases, which greatly promotes the development and application of such materials in the energy storage field.

[0009] The conductive agent is at least one or two or more of carbon black, conductive graphite, carbon fiber, carbon nanotube, and graphene.

[0010] The binder is at least one or two or more of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) 5130, HSV900, and kynar 761A.

[0161] Table 2 Discharge specific capacity test data of comparative materials

[0162]

[0163] The present application is to utilize the difference in thermal effect between different precursors to precisely control the heat treatment process of product phase formation, and to effectively reduce the influence of heat accumulation during precursor phase formation on the uniformity of the overall heat treatment process by designing a specific bed-type reaction vessel. Even when the mass of the precursor increases, high-purity, high-specific capacity, high-rate performance, and high-cycle stability phosphate and fluorophosphate polyanionic materials can still be prepared, greatly promoting the development and application of such materials in the energy storage field (e.g., in Example 1: 125 mAh / g @ 0.2 C; 90 mAh / g @ 50 C; CR = 90% @ 1.0 C, 1000 times, material purity up to 99.99%).

[0164] In the precise control of the reaction bed layer structure of the heat treatment process, the thickness of the bottom support layer (0.1 cm to 1 cm) and the thickness of the top screen layer and the surrounding screen barrier layer (0.1 cm to 0.5 cm) will affect the heat transfer process, and in turn affect the uniformity of the above heat treatment process. The thickness of the precursor material clamping area in the middle of the bed layer (1 cm to 4 cm) will also affect the above heat treatment process, and in turn greatly affect the purity and electrochemical performance of the product (e.g., in Examples 1-7: 113-125 mAh / g @ 0.2 C; 80-90 mAh / g @ 50 C; CR = 80%-90% @ 1.0 C, 1000 times, material purity only 99%-99.99%). However, when the thickness of the bottom support layer (>1 cm), the thickness of the top screen layer and the surrounding screen barrier layer (>0.5 cm), and the thickness of the precursor material clamping area in the middle of the bed layer (>4 cm) are too large, the heat in the reaction bed layer cannot be effectively transferred in the high-temperature tube furnace, resulting in uneven heat and impurities of sodium iron phosphate NaFePO4 and sodium iron pyrophosphate Na2FeP2O7, which seriously affect the electrochemical performance of the material. At the same time, when the thickness of the bottom support layer (<0.1 cm), the thickness of the top screen layer and the surrounding screen barrier layer (<0.1 cm), and the thickness of the precursor material clamping area in the middle of the bed layer (<1 cm) are too small, the precursor material is blown away by the gas flow, causing local stoichiometric imbalance. All the above problems result in different proportions of sodium iron phosphate NaFePO4 and sodium iron pyrophosphate Na2FeP2O7 impurities in the product (e.g., in Comparative Examples 1-6: 93-103 mAh / g @ 0.2 C; 62-70 mAh / g @ 50 C; CR = 68%-75% @ 1.0 C, 1000 times, material purity only 83%-96%).

[0165] In other optimized conditions, the shortest distance between any point on the upper, lower, and peripheral parts of the reaction bed and the inner wall surface of the tube furnace also affects the heat dissipation process and sintering uniformity. When the shortest distance between any point on the bottom support layer, top screen layer, and peripheral screen barrier layer of the reaction bed and any point on the inner wall surface of the tube furnace is > 0.1 cm, and the shortest distance between any point on the peripheral screen barrier layer and any point on the inner wall surface of the flanges at both ends of the reaction tube is > 1 cm (as in Examples 8-9: 114-116 mAh / g @ 0.2 C; 83-84 mAh / g @ 50 C; CR = 81%-83% @ 1.0 C, 1000 times, material purity 99.1%-99.2%), while when the shortest distance between any point on the bottom support layer and top screen layer of the reaction bed and any point on the inner wall surface of the tube furnace is < 0.1 cm, and the shortest distance between the peripheral screen barrier layer of the reaction bed and any point on the inner wall surface of the tube furnace is < 1 cm, the material cannot exhibit excellent electrochemical performance due to the influence of sintering process uniformity (as in Comparative Examples 7-8: 90-96 mAh / g @ 0.2 C; 55-67 mAh / g @ 50 C; CR = 60%-63% @ 1.0 C, 1000 times, material purity only 82%-85%).

[0166] In other optimized conditions, the gas conditions in the high-temperature tube furnace also affect the heat dissipation process of the above-mentioned bed-type reactor, thereby affecting the product performance. The gas flow conditions should ensure that the temperature difference between the gas flowing out of the reaction bed and the gas flowing into the reaction bed is less than or equal to 20°C, and the temperature of the gas flowing into the reaction bed is -10°C to the inner wall surface temperature of the tube furnace during heat treatment, which will not affect the uniformity of the above heat treatment process (as in Examples 10-11: 112-115 mAh / g @ 0.2 C; 83-85 mAh / g @ 50 C; CR = 82%-83% @ 1.0 C, 1000 times, material purity 99.1%-99.3%). When the temperature difference between the gas flowing into and out of the reaction bed is > 20°C, and the difference between the inner wall surface temperature of the tube furnace during heat treatment and the temperature of the gas flowing into the reaction bed is > 10°C, the introduction of gas may affect the uniformity and sustainability of the temperature zone during the heat treatment process, thereby affecting the material performance (as in Comparative Examples 9-10: 96-98 mAh / g @ 0.2 C; 69-70 mAh / g @ 50 C; CR = 63%-64% @ 1.0 C, 1000 times, material purity only 85%-86%).
