Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of battery materials technology, specifically relating to a positive electrode active material for sodium-ion batteries. Background technology:

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries, with their advantages of high energy density, high stability, and long lifespan, have rapidly captured the portable electronics market and are increasingly penetrating the electric transportation sector. However, the low reserves and uneven geographical distribution of lithium resources in the Earth's crust have led to a continuous rise in lithium prices during the widespread adoption of lithium-ion batteries, resulting in persistently high prices. Therefore, the application of lithium-ion batteries in large-scale energy storage is limited. Sodium and lithium belong to the same group and share some similar physicochemical properties, but sodium has a larger radius than lithium. Many materials and material construction theories suitable for lithium-ion batteries are difficult to apply to sodium-ion batteries, making it difficult to achieve similar technical effects. This is the main reason why lithium-ion batteries are widely used while sodium-ion batteries have not achieved widespread commercialization.

[0003] Iron-based composite phosphates stand out among sodium-ion electrode materials due to the abundant availability and low cost of iron (Fe) in the Earth's crust, making them one of the most commercially promising cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries. Iron-based composite phosphates mainly include sodium iron phosphate and sodium fluorophosphate, but sodium iron phosphate and sodium fluorophosphate have poor electrical conductivity, and existing technologies typically perform carbon coating on them. For example, Chinese patent document CN116845215A discloses a secondary carbon-coated sodium pyrophosphate composite material and its preparation method. Another example is Chinese patent document CN114242968A, which discloses a carbon-coated sodium fluorophosphate material, its preparation method, and its applications.

[0004] While existing carbon-coating processes can improve conductivity to some extent, unlike other conventional iron-based composite phosphates, sodium fluorophosphate (Na2FePO4F@C) has a layered structure, making it difficult to improve its tap density and requiring higher conductivity. Furthermore, due to the lattice doping of F, it is prone to the formation of numerous impurity phases during preparation, necessitating sintering at relatively mild temperatures. However, the suitable sintering conditions make it difficult to construct a carbon-coated structure with high conductivity, which is also detrimental to the material's tap density. Therefore, for Na2FePO4F@C materials, current technologies still struggle to simultaneously achieve the requirements of impurity phase control, high tap density, and high conductivity composites, leaving significant room for improvement in the electrochemical performance, particularly high-temperature cycling performance. Summary of the Invention:

[0005] To address the problems in the preparation of existing Na2FePO4F@C materials, the primary objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing Na2FePO4F@C composite materials, aiming to improve the compatibility of Na2FePO4F phase control and carbon layer construction methods, thereby preparing materials that combine excellent phase purity, electrical conductivity, tap density, and electrochemical performance.

[0006] The second objective of this invention is to provide the Na2FePO4F@C composite material prepared by the aforementioned method and its application in the cathode of a sodium-ion battery.

[0007] A third objective of this invention is to provide a sodium-ion battery comprising the Na2FePO4F@C composite material, as well as its positive electrode and positive electrode material.

[0008] Na₂FePO₄F possesses a unique layered microstructure, which demands higher tap density and conductivity. However, due to lattice doping of F, impurity phases easily appear during the preparation of Na₂FePO₄F, making it difficult to construct the desired high-tap and high-conductivity structure. Existing techniques primarily optimize this by adjusting the amount of carbon composite. However, this approach cannot effectively solve the problems of low tap density and insufficient conductivity in the layered structure; instead, it may reduce the effective capacity and negatively impact electrochemical stability, especially during high-temperature cycling.

[0009] To address this problem, after in-depth research and exploration, the present invention proposes the following improvement scheme:

[0010] A method for preparing Na2FePO4F@C composite material involves heat-treating a mixture of precursor raw materials for forming Na2FePO4F and a synergistic carbon source.

[0011] The synergistic carbon source comprises component a and component b in a weight ratio of 1:0.4 to 2, wherein component a is CMC and component b is a small molecule hydroxyl-containing compound.

[0012] To address the challenges of simultaneously improving phase purity, layered structure conductivity, and tap density during the preparation of Na2FePO4F, this invention provides a novel solution through a chemical bridging mechanism between components a and b. By combining components a and b and controlling their ratio, a synergistic effect is unexpectedly achieved. Based on chemical bridging interactions such as hydrogen bonds, a connection pathway between the active material and carbon can be constructed, thereby resolving the impurity phase problem easily caused by F doping in Na2FePO4F and improving its tap density. Furthermore, it facilitates improved electron and sodium ion conduction pathways, thus synergistically improving the capacity, high-rate performance, and cycling performance, especially high-temperature cycling stability of the prepared material.

[0013] In this invention, the combination of components a and b and their proportions is key to synergistically improving the tap density of Na2FePO4F, its layered structure, and its electron-ion conduction network, thereby synergistically improving its capacity, cycling performance, and especially its high-temperature performance.

[0019] In this invention, the stoichiometric ratio of iron, sodium, phosphorus and fluorine in the precursor raw materials is 1:2:1:1.

[0020] In this invention, component b is at least one selected from citric acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, sodium citrate, and glucose; preferably glucose. Research in this invention shows that using glucose as component b unexpectedly exhibits better synergy with component a, further addressing the preparation problems related to the physicochemical structure of Na2FePO4F, and further improving the electrochemical performance of the prepared material, such as its high-temperature cycling stability.

[0021] Preferably, the weight ratio of component a to component b is 1:0.5 to 1.5, more preferably 1:0.9 to 1.1. This invention demonstrates that, based on the preferred components a and b, further optimization of their ratio can synergistically improve the high-rate cycling stability and high-temperature cycling stability of the obtained material.

Studies have shown that premixing components a and b helps to further improve their physicochemical compatibility, and can further improve the high-rate stability and high-temperature cycling stability of the prepared material.

In this invention, thanks to the combined use of the synergistic carbon source and the combined control of temperature, the high-rate cycling performance and high-temperature cycling performance of the prepared material can be unexpectedly and synergistically improved.

[0047] In this invention, the sodium-ion battery, except for the positive electrode portion which contains the positive electrode active material prepared by the method described in this invention, may have other components, structures, and properties that are known or reasonably adjusted based on known principles.

[0048] Beneficial effects:

[0049] To address the challenge of simultaneously managing impurities, conductive networks, and tap density in the preparation of Na2FePO4F@C composite materials, this invention innovatively combines components a and b, further controlling their ratio. This unexpectedly improves the connection pathway between the active material and carbon based on a chemical bridging mechanism, thereby resolving the impurity issue easily caused by F doping in Na2FePO4F and improving its tap density. Furthermore, it enriches and improves the pathways for electron and sodium ion conduction, thus synergistically improving the capacity, high-rate cycling performance, and high-temperature cycling stability of the prepared material. This research also shows that pre-reacting components a and b helps to further enhance their synergistic effect based on their physicochemical characteristics, further improving the high-rate cycling performance and high-temperature cycling stability of the prepared material.
