Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sodium-ion batteries, and more specifically, to a pine-based hard carbon material, a sodium-ion battery anode, a sodium-ion battery, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Sodium-ion batteries are an emerging battery technology. Compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries, sodium is a relatively inexpensive and abundant element, easier to obtain and produce than lithium, thus potentially reducing battery costs. Sodium is also more abundant on Earth, implying a sustainable energy supply chain. Furthermore, sodium-ion batteries have a higher energy density, meaning they can store more energy. However, several technical challenges remain unresolved: sodium-ion batteries have a slow charge / discharge rate, limiting their ability to perform rapid charging and discharging; and their poor charge / discharge cycle performance results in a short lifespan.

[0003] To overcome these challenges, researchers developed hard carbon materials. Hard carbon materials possess high conductivity, which facilitates rapid charge transfer during the charging and discharging process of sodium-ion batteries, improving their fast charge / discharge performance. Compared to soft carbon materials, hard carbon materials can improve battery cycle performance and extend battery life. Biomass hard carbon materials are environmentally friendly, containing no harmful substances, thus reducing environmental impact; they are also inexpensive and readily available, effectively lowering the manufacturing cost of sodium-ion batteries and making them more competitive in commercial applications. Numerous research reports exist on biomass hard carbon, such as a Chinese patent entitled "A Two-Stage Carbonization Preparation Method for Biomass Hard Carbon Materials."

[0004] However, biomass hard carbon materials still have shortcomings. Due to their structural instability, sodium-ion batteries exhibit poor rate performance. Furthermore, the specific capacity of sodium-ion batteries is unsatisfactory, limiting their application in fields requiring high capacity. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a biomass hard carbon material that enables sodium-ion batteries to possess good specific capacity and rate performance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The primary objective of this invention is to overcome the problems of poor specific capacity and rate performance of existing biomass hard carbon materials used in sodium-ion batteries, and to provide a method for preparing pine-based hard carbon materials. This method involves carbonizing pine wood, acid washing, and segmented high-temperature treatment. The resulting pine-based hard carbon material is used to prepare the negative electrode for sodium-ion batteries, enabling the batteries to exhibit high specific capacity and good rate performance; furthermore, it also provides the sodium-ion batteries with good cycle stability.

[0006] A further object of the present invention is to provide a pine-based hard carbon material.

[0007] A further objective of this invention is to provide the application of the above-mentioned pine-based hard carbon material in the preparation of sodium-ion battery anodes.

[0008] A further objective of this invention is to provide a sodium-ion battery negative electrode.

[0009] A further object of the present invention is to provide a sodium-ion battery.

[0010] The above-mentioned objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0011] A method for preparing a pine-based hard carbon material includes the following steps:

[0012] The pine wood is carbonized, then acid-washed, and finally subjected to segmented high-temperature treatment to obtain the pine wood-based hard carbon material.

[0013] The segmented high-temperature treatment process is as follows: first, maintain at 500-600℃ for 1-2 hours, then maintain at 1300-1600℃ for 1-4 hours, and finally maintain at 500-600℃ for 1-2 hours.

[0014] Pine wood is a widely distributed plant with abundant and renewable resources. Hard carbon prepared from pine wood exhibits good cycle performance, thus helping to reduce the overall production cost of sodium-ion batteries. However, hard carbon prepared from pine wood has weak sodium storage capacity and slow charge transport rate, resulting in poor specific capacity and rate performance of sodium-ion batteries.

[0015] The inventors of this invention have discovered that by first carbonizing pine wood, then acid washing, and finally performing segmented high-temperature treatment, the resulting pine-based hard carbon material can be used to prepare the negative electrode for sodium-ion batteries, enabling the sodium-ion batteries to have high specific capacity and good rate performance.

[0016] The segmented high-temperature treatment consists of three stages at different temperatures, and its mechanism is as follows:

[0017] Maintaining the material at 500-600℃ (first stage temperature) for a period of time helps to perform a structural stabilization treatment at a relatively low temperature, reducing the structural changes or defects that may occur during the subsequent higher temperature treatment (second stage temperature), thus facilitating the formation of pore structures during the higher temperature treatment (second stage temperature).

[0018] In the 1300–1600℃ range (the second temperature range), the material transforms into a highly crystalline state. The higher the crystallinity of the material, the better its conductivity and cycle stability. More importantly, under this high temperature condition, more porous structures are formed inside the material. These porous structures can provide more storage space for sodium ions, improve the energy density and charge transport rate of the battery, and thus improve the specific capacity and rate performance of the sodium-ion battery.

[0019] After high-temperature treatment, materials accumulate internal stress, and rapid cooling may lead to a decline in material performance (such as reduced hardness and increased brittleness). This invention maintains the material at 500–600°C (the third temperature stage) for 1–2 hours after the second temperature stage. This allows the stress accumulated after high-temperature treatment to gradually release, reducing the risk of cracking or deformation caused by rapid cooling, and thus improving the retention of capacity and rate performance in sodium-ion batteries.

[0020] If the segmented high-temperature treatment does not include the first stage temperature, it is not conducive to the formation of pore structure in pine-based hard carbon materials; if the segmented high-temperature treatment does not include the third stage temperature, the pore structure formed in pine-based hard carbon materials will change during the cooling process (cracking or closing), and both of these situations are not conducive to improving the capacity and rate performance of sodium-ion batteries.

[0021] In addition, the present invention requires acid washing during the segmented high-temperature treatment, which can remove the metal components in the carbon material, and this is also beneficial to the formation of pore structure.

[0022] This invention involves carbonizing, acid washing, and segmented high-temperature treatment of pine wood to obtain a pine-based hard carbon material, which is used to prepare the negative electrode for sodium-ion batteries. This material enables the sodium-ion batteries to have high specific capacity and good rate performance. In addition, it also enables the sodium-ion batteries to have good cycle stability.

The XRD test and morphology characterization results of the pine-based hard carbon materials in Examples 2-4 are similar to those in Example 1.

[0106] 2. Electrochemical performance

[0107] The sodium-ion batteries from Examples 5-7 and the comparative sodium-ion battery from Comparative Example 1 were subjected to rate performance tests and cycle stability tests, respectively. The test results are as follows: Figures 3-7 As shown.

[0108] Figure 3 and Figure 4 The sodium-ion battery of Example 5 and the comparative sodium-ion battery of Comparative Example 1 were respectively tested at 20 mAg. -1 Charge-discharge cycle performance at current density. From... Figure 3 It can be seen that the initial specific capacity of Example 5 is 354 mAhg. -1 After 50 cycles, its capacity is 350mAhg. -1 The capacity retention rate is 98%. Figure 4 It can be seen that the initial specific capacity of Comparative Example 1 is 298 mAh g. -1 After 50 cycles, its capacity is 290 mAh g. -1 Its capacity retention rate is 97%. Furthermore, at 20 mAg... -1 At current density, Example 5 has a first coulomb efficiency of 93%, while Comparative Example 1 has only 82%.

[0109] Figures 5-8 The sodium-ion batteries of Examples 5-7 and the comparative sodium-ion battery of Comparative Example 1 were tested at 300 mAg. -1 Charge-discharge cycle performance at current density. From... Figure 5 It can be seen that the initial specific capacity of Example 5 is 286.8 mAh g. -1 After 300 cycles, its capacity still reaches 280mAh. -1 Its capacity retention rate is 98%. Figure 6 It can be seen that the initial specific capacity of Example 6 is 310.5 mAh g. -1 After 300 cycles, its capacity still reaches 240mAh. -1 Its capacity retention rate is 77%, and the battery tends to stabilize after 60 cycles, maintaining a specific capacity of 240 mAh g. -1 Left and right. From Figure 7 It can be seen that the initial specific capacity of Example 7 is 286.7 mAh g. -1 After 300 cycles, its capacity still reaches 244 mAh. -1Its capacity retention rate is 85%, and the battery tends to stabilize after 20 cycles, maintaining a specific capacity of 244 mAh g. -1 Left and right. From Figure 8 It can be seen that the initial specific capacity of Comparative Example 1 is 281 mAh g. -1 After 300 cycles, its capacity decreased to 218 mAh g. -1 Its capacity retention rate is 77%. This indicates that the pine-based hard carbon material obtained through the segmented high-temperature treatment of the present invention, when used to prepare the anode of a sodium-ion battery, enables the sodium-ion battery to have a (initial) high specific capacity, and, due to the high initial specific capacity, the sodium-ion battery still maintains a high specific capacity after multiple cycles.

[0110] Compare Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 It can be seen that the specific capacity and cycle retention rate of Example 5 are excellent under different current densities, while the cycle stability of Comparative Example 1 under high current density is not as good as that of Example 5.

[0111] Figure 9 and Figure 10 The sodium-ion battery of Example 5 and the comparative sodium-ion battery of Comparative Example 1 have performance values ​​ranging from 20 to 1500 mAg. -1 Charge-discharge rate performance at current density. From... Figure 9 It can be seen that the sodium-ion battery of Example 5 performs well at 20, 30, 60, 120, 240, 300, 600, 900, 1500 and 20 mAg. -1 The reversible capacities at different current densities (each cycle being 10 times) were 315.4, 298.5, 292.3, 280.5, 261.6, 252.6, 229.2, 206.5, 166.2, and 301.4 mAh g, respectively. -1 .from Figure 10 It can be seen that the sodium-ion battery in Comparative Example 1 performs better at 20, 30, 60, 120, 240, 300, 600, 900, 1500 and 20 mAg. -1 The reversible capacities at different current densities (each cycled 10 times) were 312.5, 284.2, 275.2, 233.3, 169.7, 149.6, 85.3, 61.4, 42.2, and 290.1 ​​mAh g. -1 The comparison of the two figures shows that Example 5 has a higher specific capacity than Comparative Example 1 at different current densities, and the specific capacity fluctuation of Comparative Example 1 is smaller than that of the Comparative Example 1 under the rate performance test, indicating that the hard carbon material of Example 1 is more stable.

[0112] Comparing the experimental data of Example 5 and Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that the specific capacity, cycle stability, and rate performance of Example 5 are all superior to those of Comparative Example 1. This indicates that the pine-based hard carbon material treated by segmented high temperature in this invention, when used to prepare sodium-ion batteries, improves their specific capacity, cycle stability (especially cycle stability at high current densities), and charge / discharge capacity.

[0113] The performance of the sodium-ion battery in Example 8 is similar to that in Example 5.
