Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of material technology, and in particular to a high-entropy layered oxide material with covalent valence of anions and cations, a preparation method and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Under the background of "dual carbon", the development of sustainable clean energy (such as wind power, solar power and tidal power) is of great significance to reducing carbon emissions. However, these renewable energy sources are greatly restricted by natural conditions and have characteristics such as intermittent and fluctuating nature. As the most efficient and convenient energy storage and conversion devices, high-performance secondary batteries are crucial to the establishment of a clean energy system and the realization of large-scale energy storage. Among the many energy storage technologies, physical energy storage such as pumped storage, compressed air energy storage and flywheel energy storage are all limited by factors such as geographical location and actual conditions. In contrast, electrochemical energy storage has the advantages of easy modularization, high energy conversion efficiency, high flexibility and environmental friendliness. It is one of the most promising energy storage methods and an important guarantee for achieving the dual carbon goals.

[0003] Among electrochemical energy storage technologies, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are currently widely used in daily life due to their high energy density, long cycle life, small size, light weight, and pollution-free properties. However, lithium reserves in the Earth's crust are relatively low, with more than half of the world's lithium resources located in South America. my country relies on imports for 80% of its lithium resources, and the price of lithium carbonate has been rising annually, from approximately 50,000 yuan per ton in 2015 to approximately 500,000 yuan per ton today (2022). Consequently, LIBs, limited by their resource availability, are unable to simultaneously support the development of electric vehicles and large-scale energy storage. Sodium-ion batteries, with their abundant resources, widespread distribution, and low cost, are considered a promising complement to LIBs and an ideal device for large-scale energy storage applications. The research and development of LIB technology is of strategic importance and has garnered renewed attention in recent years.

[0004] The development of high-performance electrode materials is crucial to the commercialization of sodium-ion batteries. In particular, cathode materials play a decisive role in the overall energy density and electrochemical performance of batteries. To date, the research on sodium-ion cathode materials is still in the early stages of laboratory exploration. Currently, the research on cathode materials mainly focuses on transition metal oxides Na with layered structures. x MO2 (M represents one or more of 3d or 4d transition metals). Further improving the specific capacity and energy density of layered oxide materials is an effective means to reduce costs and unlock more application scenarios for sodium-ion batteries. Inspired by the high specific capacity of lithium-ion battery "lithium-rich" positive electrodes provided by anionic redox, activating the redox of lattice oxygen in sodium-based oxides has opened up new strategies for improving the energy density of sodium-ion batteries. For example, P2-type Na 0.72 Li0.24 Mn 0.76 As a positive electrode material for sodium-ion batteries, O2 has a high reversible specific capacity (270mAh / g) and a maximum energy density (700Wh / kg) between 1.5V and 4.5V. However, triggering the redox of lattice oxygen with a higher capacity usually requires a higher charge cutoff voltage (4.4V), resulting in unnecessary structural degradation and serious side reactions. Therefore, most oxygen valence-varying material electrodes have practical problems such as kinetic hysteresis, voltage hysteresis, oxygen release, and severe capacity decay. These problems have greatly hindered the practical application of oxygen valence-varying materials in sodium-ion batteries. Summary of the Invention

The present invention is mainly based on the valence change of electrochemically active transition metal cations and anions (lattice oxygen) to provide charge compensation during the charging and discharging process; the configuration of the transition metal high entropy enables the material to have excellent structural stability and long cycle performance.

In addition, the preparation method of the high-entropy layered oxide material of the present invention is simple. Sodium ion batteries containing the high-entropy layered oxide material of the present invention can be used in large-scale energy storage equipment such as solar power generation, wind power generation, smart grid peak regulation, distributed power stations, backup power supplies or communication base stations.

[0068] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments, but it is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0069] The embodiment of the present invention provides a high entropy layered oxide material with covalent cation and anion valence, the general chemical formula of which is: Na a [Li b Mg c Ni d Mn e M f ]O 2+β; Wherein, M is a transition metal element, including one or more elements selected from Cu, Fe, Zn, Nb, Mo, Ru, Sb, Ta, Bi, Ti, La, and W; a, b, c, d, e, f, and 2+β are respectively the molar percentages of the corresponding elements; the relationship between a, b, c, d, e, f, and 2+β satisfies b+c+d+e+f=1, and a+b+2c+2d+4e+mf=2(2+β); wherein 0.85≤a≤1; 0.05≤b≤0.2; 0.05≤c≤0.2; 0.05≤d≤0.2; 0.2≤e≤0.6; 0.05≤f≤0.2; 0≤β≤0.1, and m is the valence state of M.

[0070] And the above a, b, c, d, e, f must meet the definition of high entropy, that is, meet the requirements of the following formula:

[0071]

[0072] Where R is the gas constant, N≥6, x i It can be any value among a,b,c,d,e,f.

[0073] It should be noted that the gas constant is equivalent to the Boltzmann constant, and its value is 8.314 J / (mol·K).
