The use of a high alloy material for a negative electrode of a sodium ion battery according to claim 8, characterized in that: It is used in the negative electrode material of sodium ion battery and prepared into button battery, including the following steps: 1) The negative electrode active material, conductive agent, binder and solvent are mixed evenly according to the mass volume ratio of (8-9) g: (0.5-1) g: (0.5-1) g: (5-8) mL to obtain the negative electrode slurry, which is coated on the metal aluminum foil by an automatic coating machine with an average coating mass of 2.5-3 mg / cm 2 , vacuum drying at 60-200°C, and then cutting into circular electrode sheets with a diameter of 11-14 mm; The conductive agent is conductive carbon black; the binder is polyvinylidene fluoride; and the solvent is N-methylpyrrolidone; 2) The obtained circular electrode sheet was assembled into a half-cell in a glove box with a sodium sheet as the counter electrode, sodium perchlorate as the electrolyte, and cellulose GF / D as the separator. The rate performance and cycle performance were tested at different current densities in the potential window of 0.01-2.5 V.
