Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of sodium-ion batteries, and particularly to a preparation method and application of a negative electrode material for a sodium-ion battery with a double coating layer. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, sodium-ion batteries have developed rapidly due to their low cost advantage, and the battery performance has also been rapidly improved. At the same time, key materials such as sodium-based cathodes and amorphous carbon anodes have become more and more mature and have gradually been widely used. At present, sodium-ion battery products have been widely used in fields such as electric two-wheelers, low-speed vehicles, and energy storage.

[0003] Currently, the negative electrode materials of sodium-ion batteries are generally mainly amorphous carbon, that is, soft carbon and hard carbon. However, the most important problem of amorphous carbon is the relatively low initial Coulomb efficiency. A large amount of active sodium will be consumed during the formation stage, resulting in a decrease in the specific energy of the battery cell, and at the same time, the cost is also increased. In addition, the sodium storage capacity of amorphous carbon is limited, and the specific capacity is only about 300 mAh / g, and the energy density of the battery is relatively low; and the sodium intercalation potential of amorphous carbon is relatively low, close to 0 V, and sodium is likely to be deposited at a high state of charge, resulting in battery failure, and in severe cases, it is likely to cause safety accidents.

[0004] Therefore, a tin-based alloy negative electrode material with a higher sodium storage specific capacity has been developed (for example, CN110212238A discloses a sodium-ion secondary battery with a tin-based negative electrode), and its sodium storage specific capacity can reach 847 mAh / g, which is an ideal negative electrode active material. However, the tin-based alloy negative electrode material also has its disadvantages: relatively poor electrical conductivity, large volume change during charge and discharge, fast specific capacity decay, and it is actually difficult to apply. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a preparation method and application of a negative electrode material for a sodium-ion battery with a double coating layer. In the negative electrode material for a sodium-ion battery prepared by the method of the present invention, the inner coating layer is graphene / carbon nanotubes, and the outer coating layer is carbon, which can not only significantly improve the electrical conductivity of the material, but also effectively inhibit the volume change of the tin-based negative electrode material.

[0006] The specific technical solution of the present invention is as follows: In the first aspect, the present invention provides a preparation method of a negative electrode material for a sodium-ion battery with a double coating layer, which includes the following steps: 1) Mix a tin source solution, a graphene dispersion, a carbon nanotube dispersion, and soluble carbon evenly, and obtain an aggregate of tin powder coated with graphene / carbon nanotubes through spraying, drying, and sintering in a reducing atmosphere.

[0007] 2) Crush the aggregate to obtain tin powder coated with graphene / carbon nanotubes.

[0008] 3) Mix the graphene / carbon nanotube-coated tin powder with a gaseous carbon source under a heated protective atmosphere, and form a carbon coating layer on the surface of the graphene / carbon nanotube-coated tin powder after vapor deposition to obtain a negative electrode material for a sodium-ion battery with a double coating layer.

[0009] Aiming at the disadvantages of existing sodium-ion tin-based alloy negative electrode materials, such as poor conductivity, large volume change during charge and discharge, and rapid specific capacity decay. The present invention first coats a layer of graphene / carbon nanotube composite material on the surface of tin powder by means of wet spray granulation and sintering in a reducing atmosphere; introducing soluble carbon during the spraying process can provide sufficient reaction sites for the reduction of tin; the coating layer formed by the above wet spray granulation-sintering is more complete and uniform, and has a better effect on improving the performance of the negative electrode material. On this basis, the present invention further forms a carbon coating layer on the surface of the graphene / carbon nanotube-coated tin powder by means of chemical vapor deposition, so as to obtain a negative electrode material for a sodium-ion battery with a double-layer coating structure. In the inner coating layer (graphene / carbon nanotube) of the negative electrode material with a double coating layer, graphene with a planar structure and carbon nanotubes with a fibrous structure are combined to form a wire-plane conductive network, which can not only significantly improve the conductivity of the material, but also provide an elastic buffer space to relieve the volume change generated during the insertion / extraction of sodium ions in the negative electrode material, thereby improving the service life of the negative electrode material. The outer carbon coating layer can not only further inhibit the volume expansion of the tin-based negative electrode material, but also improve the compatibility of the material with the electrolyte and form a stable SEI film layer.

[0010] Preferably, in step 1), the mass ratio range of the tin source, graphene, carbon nanotubes, and soluble carbon is 1:(0.01~0.02):(0.01~0.02):(1.8~2.7).

[0011] The present invention needs to strictly control the amounts of graphene, carbon nanotubes, and soluble carbon relative to tin. The present invention finds that when the contents of graphene and carbon nanotubes are too low, a wire-plane conductive network cannot be formed, and the electronic conductivity of the material decreases; while too high will lead to a decrease in the specific capacity of the material and an increase in the agglomeration of the material bulk phase. Soluble carbon is mainly used for the pyrolysis of the carbon source to generate a carbon matrix to disperse metal tin particles, prevent their high-temperature agglomeration, and then form nano-scale uniformly distributed tin particles; at the same time, it also acts as an auxiliary reduction function to reduce part of the tin oxide generated by spray pyrolysis from the bulk phase. Too high or too low content of soluble carbon will have a negative effect on the uniformity of the material bulk phase and the electrochemical performance of the material.

[0012] Preferably, the particle size of the graphene / carbon nanotube-coated tin powder is 2~5 μm.

[0013] The present invention discovers that the particle size of the graphene / carbon nanotube-coated tin powder has a certain influence on the performance of the final material. If the particle size is too large, it will cause the specific capacity of the material to not be fully exerted. At the same time, the contact area between the material and the electrolyte is small, and the rate performance of the material under high current density decreases significantly; conversely, if the particle size is too small, the chemical activity of the material will increase accordingly, and the side reactions will increase after contacting the electrolyte, the polarization will increase, and the electrochemical performance will be reduced.

[0014] Preferably, the carbon coating layer accounts for 2-6 wt% of the dual-coated sodium-ion battery anode material.

[0015] The present invention discovers that the content of the carbon coating layer also has a certain influence on the performance of the final material. If the carbon coating layer is too thick, it will increase the transmission resistance of sodium ions in the anode material, thereby causing the capacity attenuation of the battery. This is because a thicker carbon coating layer will increase the internal resistance of the electrode material and affect the embedding and extraction efficiency of sodium ions in the electrode material. The carbon coating layer can buffer the volume change during the charge and discharge process of the electrode and maintain the structural stability of the electrode. An overly thin carbon coating layer cannot provide sufficient support, which may cause the structure of the electrode material to be damaged during the cycling process, resulting in capacity attenuation. Due to the relatively large ionic radius of sodium ions, the volume will have obvious expansion and contraction during the charge and discharge process of the tin-based anode material. A sufficient carbon coating layer can effectively inhibit this volume change, while an overly thin carbon coating layer cannot effectively control it, which may lead to the damage of the electrode material and the decline of battery performance.

[0016] Preferably, in step 1), the tin source is tin halide; more preferably, it is tin chloride or tin bromide.

[0017] The type of tin source has a certain influence on the spray granulation effect. The present invention discovers that choosing the above-mentioned types of tin halides as the tin source is not only because they can dissolve in water, but also because they can be more uniformly compounded with the graphene dispersion liquid, providing more uniform reaction sites for the generated reduced tin blocks, thereby improving the purity of the material.

[0018] Preferably, in step 1), the soluble carbon is selected from glucose, citric acid, and ascorbic acid.

[0019] The present invention selects the above-mentioned glucose, citric acid, and ascorbic acid as the soluble carbon mainly because the effect of these carbon sources on pyrolyzing to generate carbon matrix to disperse metal tin particles is better, which can prevent the high-temperature agglomeration of metal tin particles, and then form tin particles with a uniform nanoscale distribution; at the same time, these carbon sources can also act as an auxiliary reduction function to reduce a part of the tin oxide generated by spray pyrolysis from the bulk phase.

[0020] Preferably, in step 1), the concentration of the tin source solution is 0.2 - 0.5 mol / L; the concentration of the graphene dispersion is 0.5 - 2 wt%; the concentration of the carbon nanotube dispersion is 0.5 - 2 wt%.

[0021] Preferably, in step 1), the sintering temperature is 800 - 1200 °C, and the time is 8 - 12 h.

[0022] Preferably, in step 1), the atmosphere required for sintering is H 2 / N 2 , where the mass ratio of hydrogen is 1 - 4 wt%, and the optimal is 2 wt%.

[0023] Preferably, in step 3), the gaseous carbon source is selected from methane, ethylene, acetylene, and benzene.

[0024] The above gaseous carbon sources selected in the present invention are all gas molecules with fewer carbon atoms, which is beneficial to deposition on the surface of the tin negative electrode material.

[0025] Preferably, in step 3), the protective atmosphere is selected from argon, nitrogen, helium, neon, krypton, and xenon.

[0026] Preferably, in step 3), the temperature of the gaseous coating is 700 - 900 °C, and the time is 3 - 5 h.

[0027] Preferably, in step 3), the thickness of the carbon coating layer is 50 - 150 nm, and the optimal thickness is 80 - 120 nm.

[0028] In the second aspect, the present invention provides the application of the double-coated sodium-ion battery negative electrode material obtained by the above preparation method in a sodium-ion battery.

[0029] Preferably, the preparation method of the sodium-ion battery includes the following steps: S1. Prepare a positive electrode sheet; S2. Mix the double-coated sodium-ion battery negative electrode material with a binder, a conductive agent, and a solvent uniformly, disperse to obtain a negative electrode slurry, and coat it on a negative electrode current collector to obtain a negative electrode sheet; S3. Assemble the positive electrode sheet, the negative electrode sheet, and a separator into an electric core, and further manufacture a sodium-ion battery.

[0030] More preferably, S1 specifically includes: mixing a sodium-based positive electrode active material with a binder, a conductive agent, and a solvent uniformly, dispersing to obtain a positive electrode slurry, and coating it on a positive electrode current collector to obtain a positive electrode sheet.

[0031] More preferably, S3 specifically includes: winding or laminating the positive electrode sheet, the negative electrode sheet, and the separator to assemble an electric core, baking to remove water, injecting electrolyte, and forming to manufacture a sodium-ion battery.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The method of the present invention can prepare a negative electrode material for a sodium-ion battery with a double-coated structure. The inner coating layer is graphene / carbon nanotubes. The graphene with a planar structure and the carbon nanotubes with a fibrous structure are combined to form a wire-plane conductive network, which can not only significantly improve the conductivity of the material, but also provide an elastic buffer space to relieve the volume change generated during the insertion / extraction process of sodium ions in the negative electrode material, thereby improving the service life of the negative electrode material; and the outer carbon coating layer can further inhibit the volume expansion of the tin-based negative electrode material.

[0128] Performance test: Perform performance tests on the batteries obtained in the above examples and comparative examples, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0129] Table 1

[0130] From the comparison of the data in the above table, it can be seen that: Compared with Example 1, when the contents of graphene and carbon nanotubes in Comparative Example 1 are too low, a wire-plane conductive network cannot be formed, the electronic conductivity of the material decreases, the internal resistance of the battery increases, the rate performance decreases, and the cycling performance is also affected. Conversely, in Comparative Example 2, the contents of graphene and carbon nanotubes are too high, resulting in a decrease in the specific capacity per gram of the material and an increase in the material cost at the same time.

[0131] Compared with Example 1, in Comparative Example 3, the particle size of the graphene / carbon nanotube-coated tin powder is too small, the chemical activity of the material is correspondingly enhanced, and the side reactions increase after contacting with the electrolyte, affecting the cycling performance of the battery; conversely, in Comparative Example 4, the particle size of the graphene / carbon nanotube-coated tin powder is too large, the contact area of the material decreases, the internal resistance increases, and at the same time, the specific capacity of the material cannot be fully exerted.

[0132] Compared with Example 1, in Comparative Example 5, the negative electrode material has no outer carbon coating layer. The volume change of the material caused by the insertion and extraction of sodium ions is large, the material structure is damaged, and the cycling performance deteriorates.

[0133] Compared with Example 1, in Comparative Example 6, the outer carbon coating layer of the negative electrode material is relatively thin, and the suppression of the volume change of the material during the cycling process is insufficient, affecting the cycling performance of the battery; while in Comparative Example 7, the relatively thick outer carbon coating layer will increase the internal resistance of the electrode material, affect the insertion and extraction efficiency of sodium ions in the electrode material, resulting in an increase in the internal resistance of the battery, and both the rate performance and the cycling performance are affected.

[0134] Compared with Example 1, in Comparative Examples 8 and 9, other types of soluble carbon and gaseous carbon sources are used, and the results show that the cycling, rate, internal resistance, and specific capacity per gram of the material are all affected; this shows that the types of soluble carbon and gaseous carbon sources also have a significant impact on the material performance. The preferred soluble carbon and gaseous carbon sources of the present invention have better performance.

[0135] The raw materials and equipment used in the present invention are all common raw materials and equipment in the art without special instructions; the methods used in the present invention are all conventional methods in the art without special instructions.

[0136] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the present invention in any way. Any simple modifications, changes, and equivalent transformations made to the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the present invention still belong to the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
