Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sodium-ion battery energy storage technology, and in particular to a method for preparing and applying a hard carbon anode material with controlled micropore structure. Background Technology

[0002] Sodium-ion batteries have shown broad application prospects in the energy storage field due to their advantages such as low cost, low temperature operation, and good rate performance. Hard carbon, with its interlocking layered structure and pores formed by the disordered stacking of some carbon layers, can store sodium ions at low potentials, making it the primary choice for anode materials in sodium-ion batteries. However, the microstructure of hard carbon is very complex, composed of a large number of graphite microcrystals and amorphous nanodomains. + These graphite microcrystals cannot form stable compounds, resulting in poor sodium storage performance and low specific capacity, which greatly limits their commercial application.

[0003] To improve the sodium storage performance of hard carbon, structural defects can be created to provide more sodium adsorption sites in the high-pressure region (>0.1V), thereby increasing the ramp capacity and ultimately the total capacity of the hard carbon. However, this reduces the initial coulombic efficiency of the hard carbon. In the low-pressure region (<0.1V), sodium ions, in addition to intercalating in the graphite microcrystalline layer, also form a large number of quasi-metallic clusters by filling closed nanopores, which greatly improves the sodium storage performance of hard carbon in the plateau stage. Therefore, precisely controlling the pore structure to form more closed nanopore structures is beneficial for preparing hard carbon anodes with large plateau capacities. However, traditional template methods and chemical activation methods require acid-base washing to remove templates and impurities, which not only causes the hard carbon structure to collapse but also increases the preparation cost due to the complexity of subsequent processing. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a preparation method and application for regulating the micropore structure of hard carbon anode materials to address the above problems. This invention proposes a simpler preparation method that enables the prepared hard carbon anode material to have a rich closed pore structure, thereby improving the sodium storage performance of the anode material.

[0005] A method for preparing a hard carbon anode material with controlled micropore structure includes the following steps:

[0006] Hard carbon precursor material is placed in a closed reactor for preliminary reaction to obtain a pre-product. The hard carbon precursor material is filled to a degree greater than or equal to 40% in the closed reactor. When the filling degree is 40%, the temperature of the preliminary reaction is 350℃-450℃. For every 5% increase in filling degree, the temperature of the preliminary reaction decreases by 20℃-25℃.

[0007] Under a protective atmosphere, the preproduct is subjected to a first carbonization treatment and a second carbonization treatment in sequence to obtain a hard carbon anode material.

[0008] In one embodiment, the hard carbon precursor material is filled to a density of 50%-90% in the closed reactor.

[0009] In one embodiment, the change in the fill degree of the reactants before and after the reaction in the closed reactor is 5%-10%.

[0010] In one embodiment, the hard carbon precursor material includes at least one of sugar-based materials, bio-based materials, and resin-based materials.

[0011] In one embodiment, the initial reaction temperature is 150℃-500℃, the heating rate is 1℃ / min-10℃ / min, and the holding time is 60min-600min.

[0012] In one embodiment, the temperature of the first carbonization treatment is 500℃-700℃, the heating rate is 1℃ / min-10℃ / min, and the holding time is less than or equal to 180min.

[0013] In one embodiment, the temperature of the second carbonization treatment is 1000℃-1500℃, the heating rate is 1℃ / min-5℃ / min, and the holding time is less than or equal to 180min.

[0014] A hard carbon anode material prepared by the method described above for controlling the micropore structure of hard carbon anode materials, wherein the volume of the closed nanopores in the hard carbon anode material is 0.1 cm³. 3 / g-0.5cm 3 / g.

[0015] In one embodiment, the volume of the closed nanopores in the hard carbon anode material is 0.15 cm³. 3 / g-0.4cm 3 / g.

[0016] A hard carbon anode material as described above is used in sodium-ion batteries.

[0017] The preparation method of this invention involves a preliminary reaction of a hard carbon precursor material with a filling degree of 40% or higher in a closed reactor without liquid. This causes the hard carbon precursor material to expand under restricted conditions and decompose, releasing gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, ammonia, and water vapor. The filling degree of the hard carbon precursor material in the closed reactor and the temperature of the preliminary reaction are synergistically controlled to create a specific high-pressure environment in the limited reaction space. This restricts the expansion of the precursor, causing local contraction and shrinkage between molecular layers. This promotes the formation of abundant closed pore structures, thereby precisely controlling the microstructure of the hard carbon material. Furthermore, the concentrated high-pressure gas molecules can create cavities between the restricted molecular layers through thermal motion, which is beneficial for the material to generate more micropores and closed nanopore structures during the later carbonization process, thereby improving the sodium storage performance of the hard carbon material.

[0031] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, it will be described in more detail below. However, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments or examples described herein. Rather, these embodiments or examples are provided to make the disclosure of the present invention more thorough and complete.

[0032] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the specification of this invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments or examples only and is not intended to limit the invention. The optional scope of the term "and / or" as used herein includes any one of two or more of the related listed items, as well as any and all combinations of the related listed items, including any two related listed items, any more related listed items, or a combination of all related listed items.

[0033] This invention provides a method for preparing a hard carbon anode material with controlled micropore structure, comprising the following steps:

[0034] S1, the hard carbon precursor material is placed in a closed reactor for preliminary reaction to obtain a pre-product, wherein the hard carbon precursor material is filled to a degree greater than or equal to 40% in the closed reactor, and when the filling degree is 40%, the temperature of the preliminary reaction is 350℃-450℃, and for every 5% increase in the filling degree, the temperature of the preliminary reaction decreases by 20℃-25℃.

[0035] S2, under a protective atmosphere, the preproduct is subjected to a first carbonization treatment and a second carbonization treatment in sequence to obtain the hard carbon anode material.

[0036] During the carbonization of hard carbon precursor materials, pyrolysis occurs, leading to structural reorganization and gas generation. This alters the distance between molecules / atoms, increasing internal stress and causing volume expansion. This results in an open porous structure, which is detrimental to sodium ion storage. Traditional hydrothermal / solvothermal methods, using liquid solvents such as ethanol and water, can increase the cross-linking degree between raw material molecules, mitigating volume expansion to some extent. However, the vaporization of these liquids generates gases that overflow into the precursor material, forming open porous structures, which are also unfavorable for sodium ion storage.

[0037] This invention involves a preliminary reaction of a hard carbon precursor material with a filling density of 40% or higher in a closed reactor. Upon heating, the precursor material expands and decomposes, releasing gases (carbon dioxide, methane, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, ammonia, and water vapor, etc.). However, due to space constraints, the expansion of the precursor is limited, leading to localized contraction at both the macroscopic and microscopic levels. Furthermore, under high temperature and pressure, the molecular layers of the precursor further contract, thus regulating the microstructure of the material. Simultaneously, the concentrated high-pressure gas molecules, through thermal motion, can create cavities between the confined molecular layers. This results in a tendency for the material to develop more micropores and closed nanopore structures during subsequent carbonization, which is beneficial for improving the sodium storage performance of the hard carbon material.

[0038] In step S1, preferably, the hard carbon precursor material is filled to 50%-90% in the closed reactor, including any one of 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or any range between two.

[0039] Preferably, the change in the fill degree of the reactants before and after the reaction in the closed reactor is 5%-10%, including any one of 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, or any range between two.

[0040] In one embodiment, the hard carbon precursor material includes, but is not limited to, at least one of sugar materials, bio-based materials, and resin-based materials. Specifically, the sugar material is preferably starch, the bio-based material is preferably biomass coconut shell powder, and the resin-based material is preferably synthetic formaldehyde-resorcinol phenolic resin powder.

[0041] In one embodiment, the initial reaction temperature is 150℃-500℃, the heating rate is 1℃ / min-10℃ / min, and the holding time is 60min-600min.

[0042] In one embodiment, after the preliminary reaction, a particle size screening step is further included to make the particle size of the preproduct 2μm-80μm.

[0043] In step S2, the preproduct with a specific preset pore structure is subjected to a two-step carbonization treatment. Preferably, the temperature of the second carbonization treatment is higher than that of the first carbonization treatment, which is more conducive to promoting the preset pore structure to form more closed nanopore structures during the gradual carbonization process, thereby improving the sodium storage performance of the hard carbon material.

[0044] In one embodiment, the temperature of the first carbonization treatment is 500℃-700℃, the heating rate is 1℃ / min-10℃ / min, and the holding time is less than or equal to 180min.

[0045] In one embodiment, after the first carbonization treatment, a particle size screening step is further included to make the particle size of the product 2μm-50μm.

[0046] In one embodiment, the temperature of the second carbonization treatment is 1000℃-1500℃, the heating rate is 1℃ / min-5℃ / min, and the holding time is less than or equal to 180min.

[0047] In one embodiment, the protective atmosphere includes, but is not limited to, at least one of nitrogen and argon.

[0048] This invention provides a hard carbon anode material prepared by the method described above for controlling the micropore structure of hard carbon anode materials, wherein the volume of the closed nanopores in the hard carbon anode material is 0.1 cm³. 3 / g-0.5cm 3 / g, preferably 0.15cm 3 / g-0.4cm 3 / g.

[0049] The present invention also provides a hard carbon anode material as described above for use in a sodium-ion battery. It is understood that the sodium-ion battery includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator, and an electrolyte, wherein the negative electrode uses the aforementioned hard carbon anode material as the active material.

[0050] It should be noted that this invention does not limit the preparation method of the negative electrode sheet; conventional processes can be used. For example, the above-mentioned hard carbon negative electrode material, conductive agent, and binder are mixed in a mass ratio of 80:10:10-94:3:3 to form a slurry, which is then coated onto the current collector and dried. The conductive agent includes conductive carbon black, acetylene black, graphite powder, Ketjen black, etc., with conductive carbon black being preferred. The binder includes, but is not limited to, at least one of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, sodium alginate, and polyvinylidene fluoride, with sodium carboxymethyl cellulose being preferred. Water is preferred as the solvent used to prepare the slurry. The current collector includes copper foil or aluminum foil, and the drying temperature is 60℃-120℃, with a drying time of 1h-20h.

[0051] Specifically, the electrolyte includes a sodium salt and a non-aqueous solvent. The sodium salt includes, but is not limited to, at least one of NaPF6 and NaClO4, preferably NaPF6. The non-aqueous solvent includes, but is not limited to, at least one of ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, dimethyl carbonate and diethyl carbonate, preferably a mixture of diethyl carbonate and ethylene carbonate.
