Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of battery manufacturing technology, specifically relating to a wood-based hard carbon anode material, its preparation method, and its application in sodium-ion batteries. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid expansion of renewable energy generation from solar and wind power, rechargeable batteries are attracting increasing attention. Lithium-ion batteries, with their high specific capacity and good cycle stability, are considered the most promising and growth-oriented rechargeable batteries. my country is rich in sodium resources, and sodium-ion batteries are considered the most suitable new type of battery for large-scale energy storage, potentially alleviating the limitations on energy storage development caused by lithium resource shortages and uneven distribution.

[0003] Hard carbon refers to non-graphitized carbon, a pyrolytic carbon derived from polymers, possessing advantages such as high specific capacity, good cycle performance, and good cycle stability at high rates. It belongs to the category of non-graphitized amorphous carbon materials, formed by the disordered arrangement of graphite microcrystals. Unlike graphite materials, hard carbon has a large interlayer spacing and numerous micropores, correspondingly providing more sodium ion insertion / extraction sites for sodium storage, resulting in a higher specific capacity. Compared to other materials, hard carbon is more suitable for low-temperature operation and also exhibits good high-rate charge / discharge performance and long cycle life. However, the atomic radius of sodium ions is more than 35% larger than that of lithium ions. The mainstream graphite anode in lithium-ion batteries, due to its smaller pore size and interlayer spacing, cannot meet the requirements of sodium-ion battery anodes. Therefore, hard carbon anodes are the mainstream choice for sodium batteries. Hard carbon precursors are abundant, commonly including biomass, resins, and polymer precursors. Hard carbon materials obtained from different precursors exhibit significant performance differences, and the performance and cost structure also vary significantly depending on the source of the raw materials. Biomass precursors have moderate performance and a wide range of raw materials, such as coconut shells, walnut shells, fruit shells, grapefruit peels, and animal and plant tissues. They are relatively inexpensive and have become the preferred choice for preparing hard carbon materials. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the issue of high precursor costs for hard carbon materials, this invention proposes a wood-based hard carbon anode material, its preparation method, and its application in sodium-ion batteries, demonstrating feasibility for large-scale production.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a wood-based hard carbon anode material, comprising: using natural wood particles as a carbon source precursor, first placing them in a strong acid solution containing hydrogen peroxide for hydrothermal treatment, and then carbonizing them at high temperature to obtain the wood-based hard carbon anode material.

[0006] In this invention, natural wood (granular) is used as the carbon source precursor. Hydrogen peroxide solution is used for hydrothermal treatment under strong acid conditions. During this hydrothermal treatment, lignin, metallic impurities, and oxidation are removed from the natural wood. Then, high-temperature carbonization is performed to finally prepare a hard carbon anode material. When the carbonization product is used as an anode material for sodium-ion batteries, it exhibits ultra-high capacity and initial coulombic efficiency.

[0007] Preferably, the natural wood particles are made of at least one of bamboo, elm, willow, boxwood, catalpa, paulownia, oak, birch, camphor, nanmu, ginkgo, pine, cypress, cedar, teak, and sandalwood; the particle size of the natural wood particles is at least 1 cm, preferably 3-6 cm, and more preferably 5 cm.

[0008] The method for preparing the natural wood particles includes: drying and pulverizing natural wood to obtain natural wood particles; preferably, the drying temperature is 80-150℃ and the time is 1-24 hours. For example, after drying at 150℃, the wood is then pulverized to the centimeter level.

[0009] Preferably, the concentration of hydrogen peroxide solution in the strong acid solution containing hydrogen peroxide is 0.01–0.9 mol / L;

[0010] The concentration of acid in the strong acid solution containing hydrogen peroxide is 0.1–6 mol / L;

[0011] The strong acid includes at least one of the following: hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, hydroiodic acid, hydrobromic acid, and perchloric acid;

[0012] Preferably, the molar ratio of hydrogen peroxide to acid is 3:(5-50).

[0013] Preferably, the ratio of the natural wood to the strong acid solution containing hydrogen peroxide is (100-500) g : (100-200) mL.

[0014] Preferably, the hydrothermal treatment temperature is 150–250°C, and the hydrothermal time is 6–24 hours.

[0015] Preferably, the high-temperature carbonization temperature is 1350–1550°C; the high-temperature carbonization time is 1–12 hours; and the high-temperature carbonization atmosphere contains at least one of Ar, He, N2, NH3, H2, and CO2.

[0016] Preferably, the heating rate of the high-temperature carbonization is 1 to 20°C / minute.

[0017] Secondly, the present invention provides a wood-based hard carbon anode material prepared according to the above preparation method, wherein the specific surface area of ​​the wood-based hard carbon anode material is <10m². 2 / g.

[0018] Thirdly, the present invention provides an application of a wood-based hard carbon anode material in sodium-ion batteries.

[0019] Fourthly, the present invention provides a sodium-ion battery, characterized in that: the negative electrode comprises a wood-based hard carbon negative electrode material.

[0020] The above-described method provides a wood-based hard carbon anode material, its preparation method, and a sodium-ion battery. This synthesis method yields an optimized anode material. Its beneficial effects are as follows:

[0021] 1. The natural wood used in this invention is widely available and inexpensive;

[0022] 2. In this invention, natural wood is treated with hydrogen peroxide solution and under strong acid conditions to remove impurities such as lignin and metals and reduce its ash content. It also oxidizes the cellulose and hemicellulose in the natural wood, thereby increasing the yield of natural wood-based carbonization and significantly reducing the cost of hard carbon.

[0023] 3. The hard carbon synthesis process of this invention is simple and easy to implement in large quantities, and has industrialization prospects;

[0024] 4. The hard carbon anode material prepared by this invention has a performance of 30 mA g. -1 At current density, the capacity is 340 mAh g. -1 The above shows that the coulomb efficiency is greater than 92%.

[0025] 5. This invention uses natural wood as raw material, eliminating the need for pore-blocking agents to form a wood-based hard carbon anode material with a closed-cell structure, providing a better environment for sodium ion insertion and extraction. Specifically, natural wood contains a large amount of lignin, whose disordered structure results in a low sp2 carbon content in the final hard carbon during the carbonization process. After removing the lignin, the cellulose and hemicellulose in the centimeter-sized natural wood particles are exposed, mainly composed of C, H, and O elements. These elements are converted into water through high-temperature hydrothermal oxidation with hydrogen peroxide, which not only helps increase the carbon content but also contributes to the formation of numerous closed pores. The strong acid used is to remove metallic impurities from the wood (weak acids cannot remove them completely). The strong acid solution of hydrogen peroxide can remove lignin while simultaneously oxidizing cellulose and hemicellulose, significantly increasing the residual carbon content (by approximately 100%). The number of closed pores is related to the carbonization temperature; the higher the temperature, the smaller the specific surface area, and the more closed pores. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Figure 1 The image shows the XRD pattern of the hard carbon anode material obtained in Example 1. Detailed Implementation

[0027] The present invention will be further illustrated by the following embodiments. It should be understood that the following embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0028] In this disclosure, natural wood is mainly used as a carbon source precursor. A hydrogen peroxide solution is used to remove impurities and oxidize the natural wood under strong acid conditions, followed by high-temperature carbonization. No pore-blocking agent is needed to prepare hard carbon anode materials.

[0029] In optional embodiments, the natural wood includes any one of bamboo, elm, willow, boxwood, catalpa, paulownia, oak, birch, camphor, nanmu, ginkgo, pine, cypress, cedar, teak, and sandalwood. The natural wood is dried and pulverized to obtain natural wood particles. The particle size of the natural wood particles is at least 1 cm, preferably 3–10 cm, and more preferably 5 cm. Preferably, the drying temperature is 80–150°C, and the drying time is 1–24 hours.

[0030] In an optional embodiment, the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution is 0.01–0.9 mol / L.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, the concentration of the strong acid solution is 0.1–6 mol / L.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, the hydrothermal temperature is 120–250°C, and the hydrothermal time is 6–24 hours.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, the high-temperature carbonization temperature is 1350–1550°C. Preferably, the heating rate is 1–20°C / min. The carbonization atmosphere is any one or more of the protective gas Ar, He, N2, NH3, H2, and CO2. It should be noted that the high-temperature carbonization temperature should not be too high; around 1400°C (1350–1550°C) is more suitable. Too high a temperature reduces the interlayer spacing, which also affects capacity. If the high-temperature carbonization temperature is too low, the hard carbon will contain a large amount of H and O elements, reducing the initial efficiency.

[0034] In this invention, a fully automated specific surface area measuring instrument was used to test the specific surface area of ​​the hard carbon anode material, which was found to be <10 m². 2 / g.

[0035] In this invention, the carbonization efficiency of the hard carbon anode material was measured to be 10-40% using thermogravimetric analysis. The carbonization efficiency is related to the degree of oxidation; the more thorough the oxidation, the higher the carbonization yield.

It should also be understood that the following examples are only for further explanation of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

The specific process parameters, etc., in the following examples are merely examples within a suitable range; that is, those skilled in the art can make appropriate selections within the appropriate range based on the description herein, and are not intended to be limited to the specific values ​​in the examples below.
