Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of batteries and relates to a method for constructing an interface modification layer of a Prussian blue electrode material. Background Art
[0002] Prussian blue sodium cathode material is one of the most promising cathode materials for sodium ion batteries. However, its inevitable material defects and crystal water problems can cause strong interface side reactions. In addition, the complex phase change process during the charge and discharge process can also cause large stress accumulation, affecting the battery cycle performance and battery safety. At present, the modification is mainly carried out through material surface coating, electrode interface modification and addition of electrolyte additives.
[0003] Since Prussian blue materials are generally cubic block morphology, and the thermal stability of Prussian blue materials is general, it is difficult to stably and uniformly coat by conventional means such as coating by secondary calcination. Relative to coating means such as vapor deposition (CN117165914 A) and electrodeposition (CN 117776350A), atomic layer deposition or molecular layer deposition technology can achieve coating at the atomic or molecular scale, with the advantages of high accuracy, adjustable structure, good comformability, and wide operating temperature range. However, this technology is currently only used in the interface modification of layered transition metal oxide positive electrode materials (CN 117117134A, CN 117855420A) and electrodes thereof (CN115602786A), and has not yet been applied to Prussian blue positive electrode materials. Although the interface modification layer plays the same role in reducing interface side reactions and transition metal dissolution, the main reasons why this technology is less used in Prussian blue materials due to the intrinsic differences between the two materials are as follows: 1. Due to the poor thermal stability of Prussian blue materials, after interface modification at the material scale, it is difficult to perform subsequent secondary calcination like layered oxides (CN 117954608 A) to improve the crystallinity of the interface modification layer. 2. The failure mechanisms of the two positive electrode materials are different, and the use of the same all-inorganic modification layer (CN 107910518 A) as layered transition metal oxide materials may have a counter-effect. 3. The construction of a poor modification layer may cause the three-dimensional sodium ion diffusion channel of Prussian blue materials to be blocked, increasing battery polarization and affecting performance. 4. Prussian blue materials inevitably have crystal water, and the influence of electrolyte acidification needs to be considered when constructing the interface modification layer. 5. The phase change mechanism of Prussian blue materials is different from that of layered transition metal oxides, and the design of the interface modification layer needs to ensure its reversible phase change.
[0004] Therefore, how to construct an interface modification layer with good ionic and electronic conductivity, mechanical strength and elasticity, and resistance to hydrofluoric acid corrosion is a technical difficulty. Summary of the invention
[0005] In order to solve the problems existing in the background technology, the present invention provides a method for constructing an interface modification layer of a Prussian blue electrode material. The method constructs an artificial interface modification layer at the electrode scale, regulates the composition and thickness of the interface modification layer, and improves the cycle performance of the Prussian blue cathode material and the safety performance of the battery.

[0027] (4) Compared with the atomic layer deposition technology or molecular layer deposition technology adopted in other patents, the present invention can customize an interface modification layer with a component concentration gradient by designing a molecular-level interface modification layer to target the failure mechanisms of different types of Prussian blue materials (such as the Jan-Taylor effect of Mn-PBA and the problem of excessive crystal water in Fe-PBA).
[0028] (5) The multi-component interface modification layer of the present invention can significantly improve the cycle performance and safety performance of the Prussian blue positive electrode material without changing the intrinsic structure of the Prussian blue positive electrode material, and has little effect on the discharge specific capacity of the electrode material.
[0029] (6) The multi-component interface modification layer of the present invention can reduce the catalytic decomposition effect of the surface defects of Prussian blue materials on the electrolyte during the cycle, reduce the dissolution of transition metals and the generation of dead sodium, help improve the coulombic efficiency and cycle performance of the battery, and reduce the safety hazards caused by the acidification of the electrolyte.
[0030] (7) The sodium ion battery prepared using the positive electrode material provided by the present invention has a high cycle capacity retention rate and does not show significant changes during the standard number of cycles. It has excellent quality and meets industry standards. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
