Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sodium-ion battery anode materials, and in particular to a method for preparing a high-specific-capacity hard carbon anode material for sodium-ion batteries. Background Technology

[0002] As one of the core components of sodium-ion batteries, the negative electrode has a significant impact on the battery's energy density, rate performance, cycle performance, and initial coulombic efficiency. Generally speaking, a good sodium-ion battery negative electrode material should possess the following characteristics: high sodium storage specific capacity; minimal structural changes during sodium ion insertion / extraction; good compatibility with the electrolyte, without side reactions; high ion mobility and electronic conductivity, good chemical and thermodynamic stability; and environmental friendliness and economic efficiency.

[0003] A sodium-ion battery anode material and its preparation method based on a hard carbon precursor and a doped phase (Chinese Patent Application No.: CN202210556729.1) describes a sodium-ion battery anode material using a hard carbon precursor and a doped phase as raw materials. First, the hard carbon precursor is pretreated by heating in air. Then, the doped phase and the pretreated hard carbon precursor are mixed by simple high-energy ball milling. The resulting composite is then sintered in an inert atmosphere. After cooling, the product is acid-washed and dried to obtain a hard carbon anode material with a "graphite-like phase." The hard carbon precursor is cellulose-derived carbon; the doped phase is one or more mixtures of natural graphite, artificial graphite, modified graphite, petroleum pitch, and tar pitch. This method utilizes a low-temperature optimized doping phase strategy to reduce material costs and energy consumption. The constructed "graphite-like phase" is key to achieving a high-capacity plateau region for hard carbon anodes.

[0004] Patent application CN117303344A discloses a method for preparing high-specific-capacity hard carbon materials based on biomass. This method includes the following steps: pretreating biomass particles with a chemical dehydrating condensing agent to induce a certain degree of carbonization; obtaining black precursor particles through filtration, washing, and drying; further increasing the fixed carbon content through low-temperature pre-carbonization; and finally, obtaining a high-specific-capacity hard carbon material suitable for sodium-ion battery anodes through crushing, high-temperature sintering, and post-processing. This invention uses a chemical dehydrating condensing agent pretreatment to remove hydrogen and hydroxyl groups from cellulose-like substances in the biomass raw material, resulting in internal molecular cross-linking and rearrangement, increased molecular weight, and enhanced aromaticity, significantly fixing small-molecule organic matter and improving discharge specific capacity. However, it does not improve, and may even reduce, the first-efficiency performance.

[0005] Compared to cathode materials, the research and industrialization progress of sodium-ion battery anode materials is significantly slower, resulting in relatively higher costs. The main reason is that sodium ions have a larger radius than lithium ions, making them difficult to effectively insert and extract into graphite. Therefore, the graphite anode system used in lithium-ion batteries is difficult to apply to sodium-ion batteries.

[0006] Currently, the widely studied anode materials for sodium-ion batteries mainly include carbon-based materials (soft carbon / hard carbon, etc.), titanium-based intercalated anode materials, organic materials, and alloy materials. Among them, non-carbon-based materials exhibit problems such as volume expansion, poor stability, and poor conductivity during cycling, resulting in limited practical applications. Therefore, the preparation of carbon-based anode materials with high specific capacity and high efficiency has become a current research focus. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The main objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a high-specific-capacity sodium-ion battery hard carbon anode material, so as to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0009] This invention provides a method for preparing a high-specific-capacity hard carbon anode material for sodium-ion batteries, comprising the following steps:

[0010] Organic carbon source is carbonized by chemical dehydration condensing agent pretreatment, then filtered, washed and dried to obtain precursor, then subjected to low-temperature pre-oxidation treatment, and then crushed, high-temperature carbonized and cooled to obtain the high specific capacity sodium-ion battery hard carbon anode material.

[0011] The organic carbon source is a modified phenolic resin.

[0012] The specific steps of the preparation method are as follows:

[0013] Step 1: Dehydration Condensation

[0014] Weigh 80-120 parts of modified phenolic resin according to the mass ratio, add it to 500-1000 parts of dehydrating condensing agent and soak for 2-6 hours, then filter, wash repeatedly with deionized water until neutral, and dry to obtain the precursor.

[0015] Step 2: Pre-oxidation

[0016] The precursor material obtained in step one is transferred to an air furnace, heated to 400-600℃ for pre-oxidation, and then naturally cooled to room temperature and pulverized into powder by airflow.

[0017] Step 3: High-temperature carbonization

[0018] The powder from step two is transferred to a tube furnace and slowly heated to 1150-1650℃ under a nitrogen atmosphere for high-temperature carbonization. After carbonization, the temperature is maintained for 1-2 hours, and then slowly cooled to room temperature to obtain hard carbon anode material.

[0019] Preferably, the modification method of the modified phenolic resin includes the following steps:

[0020] 3-(2-Carboxyvinyl)phenylboronic acid and titanium tetranitrate undergo a coordination reaction under an inert gas atmosphere at a first temperature to obtain a reaction solution. Phenolic resin containing silane bonds and a cassiterite catalyst are then added to the reaction solution. After a second temperature heat treatment, magnesium dimethacrylate is added, followed by a second temperature heat treatment to obtain a modified phenolic resin.

[0021] The modification method of the modified phenolic resin specifically includes the following steps:

[0022] M1: Add 0.05-0.2 parts of 3-(2-carboxyvinyl)phenylboronic acid, 0.05-0.5 parts of titanium tetranitrate, and 500-1000 parts of ethanol to a reaction vessel by mass, purge with nitrogen gas, heat to 40℃-50℃ and stir for 20-50 minutes to obtain a reaction solution.

[0023] M2: Add 100-160 parts of phenolic resin containing silane bonds and 0.01-0.4 parts of caster catalyst to the reaction solution of step M1, stir and react at 60℃-70℃ for 30-50 minutes, then add 0.5-2.4 parts of magnesium dimethacrylate, stir and react at 60℃-70℃ for 10-30 minutes. After the reaction is completed, distill off the ethanol to obtain the modified phenolic resin.

[0024] The method for preparing the phenolic resin containing silane bonds includes the following steps:

[0025] The phenolic resin was placed in a plasma device, and bis(dimethylamino)silane vapor was introduced at a flow rate of 10-17 ml / min. Plasma modification was carried out in this atmosphere for 100-120 min to obtain the phenolic resin containing silane bonds.

[0026] The plasma modification conditions are as follows: the plasma radio frequency device frequency is 200-500kHz and the output power is 100-200W.

[0027] Boron atoms form new carbon-boron bonds. Due to the small size and unique electronic structure of boron atoms, they can form multiple bonds, ensuring the uniform distribution of boron in phenolic resin. Titanium atoms add to the unsaturated bonds in phenolic resin, forming stable titanium-carbon bonds. Due to titanium's coordination ability, it can react with multiple functional groups, ensuring the uniform dispersion of titanium in the resin. The addition reaction of magnesium is similar to that of boron and titanium, forming stable magnesium-carbon bonds. Due to magnesium's reactive nature, it also ensures the uniform distribution of magnesium in the resin.

[0028] Modified phenolic resin can effectively improve the first reversible capacity and first efficiency of sodium-ion batteries. The first reversible capacity can reach up to 322.7 mAh / g, and the first efficiency is increased from 75.5% to 90.4%, representing a 31.5% improvement in first reversible capacity compared to the existing technology (first reversible capacity of 245.4 mAh / g).

[0029] Furthermore, the dehydrating condensing agent is at least one of concentrated sulfuric acid, fuming sulfuric acid, and fuming nitric acid, and the mass percentage concentration of the dehydrating condensing agent is 98%-105%.

[0030] The pre-oxidation involves holding the dried precursor at 400-600℃ for 0.5-3 hours. During this process, volatile substances vaporize and escape, while macromolecules and benzene compounds undergo dehydrogenation and carbonization.

[0031] The pulverization is airflow crushing, and the airflow crushes the particles to a particle size D. 50 It is 6-18μm.

[0032] Preferably, the conditions for high-temperature carbonization are: high-temperature carbonization is carried out by heating to 1150-1650°C under a nitrogen atmosphere, and the nitrogen flow rate is 15-45cc / min.

[0033] The heating steps are as follows: heating to 800-1000℃ at a heating rate of 3-6℃ / min; heating to 1150-1650℃ at a heating rate of 3-5℃ / min.

[0034] The cooling steps are as follows: cool down to 400-600℃ at a cooling rate of 3-5℃ / min; cool down to room temperature at a cooling rate of 4-8℃ / min.

[0035] High-temperature carbonization, stepped heating and stepped cooling: During high-temperature carbonization, the structure of hard carbon changes. As the temperature rises, the disordered carbon in hard carbon gradually transforms into ordered carbon, forming a more stable graphitized structure. This structural change affects the physical and chemical properties of hard carbon.

[0036] During the stepped heating and cooling processes, the pore structure of hard carbon is also affected. During heating, some pores in hard carbon may expand or connect, increasing the specific surface area and pore volume of hard carbon. During cooling, the pore structure may shrink or close, affecting the adsorption and ion transport properties of hard carbon.

[0037] Technical effects of the present invention:

[0038] This invention modifies phenolic resin by uniformly distributing boron, titanium, and magnesium elements within it. Because the newly added boron, titanium, and magnesium elements are relatively large, they may increase the material's volume, thereby improving its specific volume. Simultaneously, the uniformly dispersed boron, titanium, and magnesium elements can provide more active sites, enabling the material to absorb and release energy more quickly, thus improving its first-efficiency.
