Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries, and particularly to a high-compactness sodium iron pyrophosphate phosphate cathode material, an electrode sheet, and a preparation method and application thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to a preparation method of a high-compactness sodium iron pyrophosphate phosphate cathode material, and other sodium iron pyrophosphate phosphate cathode materials and cathode electrode sheets prepared by using this method. Background Art

[0002] The statements in this section only provide background information related to the disclosure of the present application and may not constitute prior art.

[0003] Sodium-ion batteries have developed rapidly in recent years due to their high safety and long life characteristics, as well as low cost, easy availability of materials, environmental protection, and sustainability. Poly-anion compounds are commonly used cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries. Sodium iron pyrophosphate phosphate is a typical poly-anion structure material, but its tap density is low, and it is not easy to form a dense packing between powder particles. Currently, the tap density of most prepared electrode sheets is difficult to exceed 2.2 g / cm 3 , resulting in a low energy density of the final battery and hindering the application of this material.

[0004] To improve the energy density of the battery, it is almost a consensus in the industry to develop a high-compactness sodium iron pyrophosphate phosphate cathode material.

[0005] However, when improving the tap density of the material, it often leads to a sharp decline in other properties of the material or difficult processing.

[0006] A prior art preparation method and application of a cathode material for a sodium-ion battery provide a method of dispersing a sodium source compound, an iron source mixture, and a carbon source compound in water according to a certain ratio and stirring to obtain a dispersion liquid, controlling the ratio of the sodium source compound and the iron source mixture, and preparing a cathode material for a sodium-ion battery with a higher tap density and energy density. When the tap density of the sodium iron pyrophosphate phosphate prepared by this prior art reaches 2.25, the battery prepared has a discharge capacity of 106 mAh / g at a current density of 0.1C and a voltage range of 2.0 - 4.0V; when the tap density reaches 2.29, the battery prepared has a discharge capacity of 105 mAh / g at a current density of 0.1C and a voltage range of 2.0 - 4.0V. This prior art improves from the perspective of the preparation raw materials of sodium iron pyrophosphate phosphate to prepare sodium iron pyrophosphate phosphate with a higher tap density. However, improving from the raw material level has problems such as a long preparation cycle, complex technology, difficulty in rapid application, and poor technical flexibility.
