Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of battery material synthesis, and specifically relates to a preparation method of a type of high specific capacity hard carbon material and its application in negative electrodes of lithium ion batteries and sodium ion batteries. Background Art
[0002] Negative electrode materials are crucial to the energy density and cycle life of secondary batteries, and are key factors in improving the overall performance of batteries and expanding their application range. Taking lithium-ion batteries as an example, graphite is widely used as a negative electrode material in the prior art. Due to its excellent reversible specific capacity, good conductivity and stable cycle performance, lithium-ion batteries have high energy density and long life, and are widely used in mobile communication equipment, electric vehicles and large-scale energy storage systems. However, in practical applications, graphite negative electrode materials have problems such as limited theoretical specific capacity, low first coulomb efficiency, insufficient structural stability and poor compatibility with electrolytes, making it difficult to simultaneously meet the requirements of high specific capacity, high stability and low cost. As an ideal substitute for lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries have the advantages of abundant resources, low cost and high safety. However, the radius of sodium ions is much larger than that of lithium ions, which makes it difficult for sodium ions to be efficiently embedded and extracted in graphite negative electrodes, limiting their storage capacity. Therefore, it is urgent to develop more excellent negative electrode materials to improve the comprehensive performance of secondary batteries.
[0003] Hard carbon is a highly disordered carbon material with large interlayer spacing, rich defects and difficult to graphitize at high temperature. It is considered to be a highly competitive commercial negative electrode material for lithium-ion batteries and sodium-ion batteries due to its good structural stability, suitable working potential, high first coulombic efficiency and reversible specific capacity. However, most of the commercialized hard carbon negative electrodes currently use biomass-based precursors. In addition to the regional and seasonal problems of raw materials, the electrochemical properties of biomass-based hard carbon, such as specific capacity and first coulombic efficiency, also need to be improved. Existing studies have shown that the influence of the microstructure of hard carbon on its electrochemical properties cannot be ignored. Among the capacity contributions of hard carbon, the platform area at low potential (≤0.1V) accounts for the main part, and the electrochemical behavior in this process mainly corresponds to the intercalation of active components in graphite microcrystals and the filling of closed pores. Therefore, it is crucial to develop high-performance hard carbon negative electrodes by regulating the microstructure of hard carbon for the large-scale promotion of lithium-ion batteries and sodium-ion batteries. Summary of the invention
[0004] The present invention aims to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, provide a preparation method and application of a type of high specific capacity hard carbon negative electrode material, and solve the problems of low specific capacity and first coulombic efficiency of the prior art hard carbon negative electrode material.
[0005] The technical solution to solve the problem of the present invention is as follows:
[0006] The present invention provides a method for preparing a high specific capacity hard carbon negative electrode material, comprising the following steps:
[0007] S1 In-situ polymerization: Dispersing citric acid, oxalyl diamide, and sucrose in a solvent in a certain proportion, and reacting at a specified temperature for a certain period of time;
[0008] S2 Curing: Curing the precursor obtained in step S1 at a specified temperature for a certain period of time;
[0009] S3 High-temperature carbonization: Carbonizing the precursor obtained in step S2 at high temperature under the protection of an inert gas, and then naturally cooling to obtain the high specific capacity hard carbon negative electrode material.
[0010] During the polymerization process, monomer citric acid and oxalyl diamide capture sucrose molecules regularly through strong O···H-O hydrogen bond interactions to form a hard carbon precursor in which a two-dimensional polymer is combined with sucrose. During the high-temperature carbonization process, the two-dimensional polymer induces the sucrose molecules to form an amorphous carbon with locally disordered structures. The locally disordered structures and abundant closed pores in the hard carbon provide more storage sites for active substances. This type of hard carbon negative electrode material exhibits high reversible specific capacity and long cycle stability in lithium-ion batteries and sodium-ion batteries.
[0011] Further, in S1, the molar ratio of citric acid to oxalyl diamide is 2:3; the molar ratio of citric acid to sucrose is 2:1.
[0012] Further, the solvent is one or more of anhydrous methanol, anhydrous ethanol, isopropanol, acetone, dimethyl sulfoxide, and ethyl acetate, preferably anhydrous ethanol;
[0013] Further, in S1, the polymerization reaction temperature is 50-120 °C, preferably 60-90 °C; the heat treatment time is 3-12 h, preferably 4-8 h.
[0014] Further, in S2, the curing temperature is 70-120 °C, preferably 90-110 °C; the curing time is 10-24 h, preferably 10-14 h.
[0015] Further, in S3, the high-temperature calcination temperature is 1200-1500 °C, preferably 1400 °C. The calcination atmosphere is helium, nitrogen, or argon, and the heat treatment time is 2-4 h, preferably 3 h.
[0016] The present invention also provides the application of the hard carbon negative electrode material in lithium-ion batteries and sodium-ion batteries.
[0017] Preferably, the composition components and mass percentage contents of the negative electrode material electrode sheet are: 80% of the hard carbon negative electrode material, 10% of conductive carbon black, and 10% of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose.
[0018] Advantages and beneficial effects of the present invention:
[0019] 1) The present invention provides a method for inducing local structural disorder during the carbonization of sucrose by using two-dimensional polymers, precisely constructing abundant closed pores in hard carbon microscopically, achieving high specific capacity and long cycle stability of the anode materials for lithium-ion batteries and sodium-ion batteries, which is conducive to promoting the further commercialization process of lithium-ion batteries and sodium-ion batteries.
[0020] 2) The reversible specific capacity of the anode of the lithium-ion battery assembled with the hard carbon anode material provided by the present invention is 227 mAh·g -1 , and the reversible specific capacity of the anode of the sodium-ion battery assembled is as high as 422 mAh·g -1 . After cycling 100 times at a current density of 50 mA·g -1 , the capacity retention rate exceeds 95%.

[0021] 3) The hard carbon anode material provided by the present invention uses sucrose, citric acid, and oxalyl diamine with wide sources as precursors, has low cost and simple preparation process, and can be applied to commercial lithium and sodium-ion batteries. Brief Description of the Drawings
