Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of energy storage materials, and particularly relates to a sodium ion battery positive electrode material, in particular to a hybrid polyanion vanadium-based positive electrode material A x A preparation method of (VO)2(HPO4)2R and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, sodium ion batteries, which are mainly composed of abundant and economical raw materials, have become a new star in the field of energy storage batteries. However, the sodium ion batteries do not have competitive performance in terms of energy density and cycle life, which has become a key factor restricting commercial application. Therefore, researchers start from each component of the sodium ion battery, and improve the comprehensive performance through selecting suitable materials, exploring synthesis methods, applying modification processes, optimizing formula and structure and many other ways. Through these researches, it has been proved that the positive electrode system plays a decisive role in the performance of the sodium ion battery. At present, the widely studied sodium ion battery positive electrode materials mainly include low-cost layered metal oxides, sodium polyanion compounds, prussian blue compounds and the like.

[0003] The sodium polyanion compound NaM(XO4) (X represents phosphorus, sulfur, vanadium, silicon and the like, and M represents a transition metal element with variable valence) is composed of an anion structural unit and a MO x polyhedron with strong covalent bonds. The bonding of the anion unit constructs a three-dimensional network structure, which provides a high-coordination gap that can be occupied by metal cations. Among several types of sodium ion battery positive electrode materials, the polyanion compound exhibits advantages in terms of working voltage, cycle life, safety and the like. This is due to the fast ion conduction channel provided by the anion unit and the stability of the charging and discharging redox potential by the "inductive effect". However, there is still a lack of a simple process and environmentally friendly preparation and modification method for the sodium polyanion positive electrode material, which has become an obstacle to the industrial application of the polyanion positive electrode material.

[0004] In order to explore a greater prospect of the application of phosphate positive electrode materials in sodium ion batteries, new preparation and modification methods for polyanion positive electrode materials are constantly being proposed. Although progress has been made, the main purpose of exploring new methods is to synthesize new materials and improve the electrochemical performance, and the process optimization and energy-saving and environmental protection attempts are still lacking.

[0005] CN116598447A discloses a carbon material coated sodium vanadium fluorophosphate and a preparation method and application thereof as a sodium ion battery positive electrode material, comprising preparing a sodium vanadium fluorophosphate material and mixing a carbon material with the sodium vanadium fluorophosphate material and ball milling to obtain a carbon coated sodium vanadium fluorophosphate material. It utilizes iron elements to partially replace vanadium elements in sodium vanadium phosphate, reduces the cost, and improves the electrochemical performance of the material through doping of fluorine elements and coating of carbon materials. However, due to the multiple material manufacturing steps and complex process flow, a large amount of organic waste liquid is generated in the process, resulting in greater pollution and poor environmental performance.

[0006] CN113328086A discloses a sodium vanadyl pyrophosphate@graphene composite positive electrode material and a preparation and application thereof, which is prepared by mixing a sodium source, a phosphorus source, a vanadium source and deionized water, then adding graphene oxide, followed by spray drying or freeze drying, and finally calcining to obtain a pyrophosphate composite material. The sodium vanadyl pyrophosphate is coated with few-layer or multi-layer graphene, and thus has good rate characteristics and charge and discharge specific capacity. However, due to the need for spray drying or freeze drying and high-temperature calcination, the technology is difficult, the energy consumption is large, and the process cost is high.

[0007] CN109546117A discloses a layered metal organic phosphate framework sodium ion positive electrode material and a preparation method thereof, which is prepared by adding a sodium source, a vanadium source, phosphoric acid and oxalic acid into water, then preparing a base material through a hydrothermal reaction, and then mixing and grinding with a carbon conductive agent. The positive electrode material has good electrochemical performance and is a new attempt in the field of sodium ion battery positive electrode materials. However, the hydrothermal reaction requires a high reaction temperature and a slow reaction rate, and thus requires a long reaction time, resulting in high energy consumption, and the synthesized product is often large and dense, resulting in poor conductivity and sodium ion diffusion; and when hydrothermal reaction occurs, the material continuously dissolves into the liquid phase with the increase of temperature and time, resulting in a continuous change of pH value and unmonitorable, and the consistency of changes between different experiments cannot be estimated, thus causing poor consistency of the reaction and poor consistency of different batches of products and uncontrollable morphology.

[0055] Unless otherwise specified, various raw materials, reagents, instruments and equipment used in the present application can be purchased on the market or can be prepared by existing methods.

[0056] Example 1

[0057] (1) A beaker containing 40 mL of water was placed in a constant temperature water bath heated to 90°C, and 0.026 mol of H2C2O4·2H2O was added to the beaker under magnetic stirring at 100 r / min. After the oxalic acid was dissolved, 0.013 mol of V2O5 was added, and the reaction was carried out for 15 min to obtain solution A1.

[0058] (2) Under the magnetic stirring at 100 r / min, 0.052 mol of NaOH and 0.026 mol of H3PO4 were sequentially added to the solution A1 obtained in step (1) to obtain solution B1, and phosphoric acid was added dropwise to solution B1 during the reaction to adjust the pH to 3, and the reaction was carried out for 10 h. After the reaction was completed, the water-containing powder obtained in the reaction was separated, washed with water and anhydrous ethanol for 3 times respectively, and vacuum dried at 60°C for 12 h to obtain the reaction product. The SEM image of the obtained product is shown in Figure 1 (a), and the product is stacked by nanosheets with a width of about 3 μm, the surface of the nanosheet is smooth, the shape is regular, and the crystallization is good. The XRD pattern is shown in Figure 1 (a), and the product is stacked by nanosheets with a width of about 3 μm, the surface of the nanosheet is smooth, the shape is regular, and the crystallization is good. The XRD pattern is shown in Figure 2 (a), and the product is stacked by nanosheets with a width of about 3 μm, the surface of the nanosheet is smooth, the shape is regular, and the crystallization is good. The XRD pattern is shown in Figure 2 It can be seen that the XRD pattern of the sample without removing the crystal water is in good agreement with the standard PDF card of Na2(VO)2(HPO4)2C2O4·2H2O, and the position, shape and intensity of each characteristic peak can be matched, which proves that the target product is successfully synthesized. The characteristic peaks of the product of Example 1 are sharp and strong, and there is no impurity peak. This proves that the product synthesized under the condition of not excessive oxalic acid and pH of 3 has high crystallinity and no impurities. The obtained product was sintered at a low temperature of 200°C for 2 h to remove the crystal water and change the crystallinity.

[0059] Example 2

[0060] (1) A beaker containing 40 mL of water was placed in a constant temperature water bath heated to 90°C, and 0.026 mol of H2C2O4.2H2O was added to the beaker under magnetic stirring at 100 r / min. After the oxalic acid was dissolved, 0.013 mol of V2O5 was added, and the reaction was allowed to proceed for 15 min to obtain solution A2.

[0061] (2) 0.052 mol of NaOH and 0.026 mol of H3PO4 were added to solution A2 obtained in step (1) under magnetic stirring at 100 r / min to obtain solution B2. During the reaction, phosphoric acid was added dropwise to solution B2 to adjust the pH to 6, and the reaction was allowed to proceed for 10 h. After the reaction was completed, the water-containing powder obtained in the reaction was separated, washed with water and anhydrous ethanol three times each, and vacuum-dried at 60°C for 12 h to obtain a reaction product. The reaction product was subjected to phase analysis, and the XRD pattern thereof is shown in Figure 2 Figure 2 It can be seen from the XRD pattern of Example 2 that the XRD pattern thereof is consistent with the standard PDF card of Na2(VO)2(HPO4)2C2O4.2H2O, and the positions and shapes of the characteristic peaks can be matched, which proves that the target product is successfully synthesized. However, the overall intensity of the characteristic peaks is decreased, and especially the strongest peak near 10.5° is decreased, and slight impurity peaks appear near 18° and 22°. This proves that the sample synthesized under the condition of insufficient acidity and pH of 6 is affected by insufficient acidity, the growth of the product is inhibited, the crystallinity is reduced, and a small amount of impurities is generated.

[0062] The product obtained was sintered at a low temperature of 250°C for 2 h to remove the crystal water and change the crystallinity.

[0063] Comparative Example 1

[0064] (1) A beaker containing 40 mL of water was placed in a constant temperature water bath heated to 90°C, and 0.026 mol of H2C2O4.2H2O was added to the beaker under magnetic stirring at 100 r / min. After the oxalic acid was dissolved, 0.013 mol of V2O5 was added, and the reaction was allowed to proceed for 15 min to obtain solution A2.

[0065] (2) 0.052 mol of NaOH and 0.026 mol of H3PO4 were added to solution A2 obtained in step (1) under magnetic stirring at 100 r / min to obtain solution B2. During the reaction, phosphoric acid was added dropwise to solution B2 to adjust the pH to 6, and the reaction was allowed to proceed for 10 h. After the reaction was completed, the water-containing powder obtained in the reaction was separated, washed with water and anhydrous ethanol three times each, and vacuum-dried at 60°C for 12 h to obtain a reaction product. The reaction product was subjected to phase analysis, and the XRD pattern thereof is shown in Figure 2 Figure 2 ​​The XRD pattern of Comparative Example 1 matches the standard PDF card of Na(VO)(HPO)C·2O. The positions of the characteristic peaks correspond, but the overall intensity of the characteristic peaks decreases, some weak peaks are obscured, and obvious miscellaneous peaks appear near 11°, 12°, 19°, 22°, and 27°. This proves that the product synthesized under the conditions of excess oxalic acid and pH 3 contains the target product, but due to the influence of excessive oxalate ions, significant impurities are generated.

[0066] The obtained product was sintered at 150 °C for 2 h to remove crystal water and change the crystallinity.

[0067] Comparative Example 2

[0068] (1) Weigh and measure 0.013 mol V2O5, 0.052 mol NaOH, 0.026 mol H2C2O4·2H2O, 0.026 mol H3PO4, and 40 mL H2O in a polytetrafluoroethylene container. Adjust the pH to 3 with phosphoric acid, sonicate for 30 min, and place in a hydrothermal autoclave for reaction at 90°C for 10 h.

[0069] (2) After the reaction is completed, the solid-liquid separation is performed to obtain the powder material, which is washed three times with water and alcohol respectively, and placed in a 60°C oven for 12 hours to obtain a dried product. The dried product is sintered at a low temperature to remove the crystal water and change the crystallinity to obtain the product. The SEM image of the obtained product is shown in FIG. Figure 1 (b) is shown by Figure 1 As shown in (b), the sample is composed of rough nano-scale flakes stacked into irregular rectangular blocks of varying sizes, indicating that the crystal growth has not yet been completed and the surface is still reacting. The dried product was analyzed for phase, and the XRD pattern is shown in Figure 2 As shown, from Figure 2 The XRD pattern of Comparative Example 1 shows that the positions of the characteristic peaks generally correspond to those of the standard PDF card of Na₂(VO)₂(HPO₄)₂C₂O₄·2H₂O. However, the peaks near 15° are offset, have different peak shapes, and are significantly lower in intensity. This suggests that at the same temperature and reaction time, the hydrothermally synthesized material in Comparative Example 2 is still in a transitional state, with incomplete incorporation of oxalic acid and incomplete material growth.

[0070] contrast Figure 1 It can be seen from (a) and 1 (b) that, at the same temperature and time, the material synthesized by hydrothermal method (the preparation of comparative example 2 can be regarded as a generalized hydrothermal reaction) is in the form of small flakes, and the crystal growth is not complete, while the material synthesized by water bath has formed complete flake crystals with good dispersibility.

[0071] The XRD results of Examples 1-2, Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 are as follows:Figure 2 At the same temperature and time, the hydrothermally synthesized material is still in a transition state, and oxalic acid is not fully combined. It is proved that water bath increases the reaction rate, reduces the synthesis temperature and shortens the synthesis time. Comparison of XRD patterns between different pH and oxalic acid dosage examples shows that the optimization of oxalic acid amount and phosphoric acid to adjust pH value is beneficial to the synthesis of pure phase material.

[0072] The Na2(VO)2(HPO4)2(C2O4) prepared in Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-2 and the Na2(VO)2(HPO4)2(C2O4) prepared by hydrothermal method in Comparative Example 1 were assembled into button cells according to the following method: first, the Na2(VO)2(HPO4)2(C2O4) powder and acetylene black were ball milled at a ratio of 7:2. Then, a certain amount of ball milling material and binder PVDF (HSV-900) (9:1) were weighed, and after grinding, 0.4 mL of NMP was added for dispersion and mixing. After uniform mixing, the slurry was coated on an aluminum foil to form a positive electrode sheet, and vacuum dried. Finally, in an anaerobic glove box, a CR2025 button cell was assembled with a metal sodium sheet as the negative electrode, glass fiber as the separator, and sodium perchlorate as the electrolyte.

[0073] After the assembled battery was placed for 12 h, the electrochemical performance test was carried out at a voltage range of 2.5-4.5 V, and the results are shown in Figures 3-4 .

[0074] As can be seen from Figures 3-4 , compared with Comparative Example 1, the battery assembled from the hybrid polyanionic vanadium-based positive electrode material Na2(VO)2(HPO4)2(C2O4) synthesized in Example 1 has high capacity and excellent rate performance.

[0075] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be noted that for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the principles of the present application, a number of improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
