Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of new energy storage battery materials, and particularly relates to a high-entropy Prussian blue-based cathode material, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the implementation of the national goals of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality", the electric power energy of renewable energy sources such as solar energy and wind energy has developed rapidly, promoting remarkable progress in new energy technologies. Under this background, the demand for efficient energy storage technologies in fields such as mobile electronic devices, electric vehicles, and energy storage power stations is increasing day by day. Secondary batteries, due to their high energy conversion efficiency, convenient operation characteristics, and the advantage of being not restricted by geographical conditions, have become an important development direction for future energy storage. The goal of scientific researchers is to develop secondary battery technologies with high safety, low cost, rich resources, high energy density, and long service life. Currently, lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in fields such as electric vehicles and mobile electronic devices due to their relatively high specific energy and excellent cycle stability. However, lithium-ion batteries still face many challenges, including high costs, limitations in lithium resource reserves, uncertainties in future production processes, as well as performance degradation and safety issues in low-temperature environments. Therefore, developing a new battery technology to overcome the above limitations has become an urgent need in current research.

[0003] Prussian blue and its analogues are a class of typical coordination polymers. In its crystal structure, two iron atoms located at the vertex positions are respectively bonded to the carbon atom and nitrogen atom in the cyano group, and are diagonally distributed on each crystal plane. Initially, Prussian blue materials were mainly widely used as pigments in the industrial field. With the in-depth research, their electrochemical properties have gradually attracted attention, especially the application in the electrode materials of sodium-ion batteries has been widely explored. Experimental results show that such materials exhibit excellent electrochemical properties in sodium-ion batteries and show potential application prospects. However, Prussian blue materials still face significant challenges in the application of sodium-ion batteries: their crystal structure is prone to irreversible changes during the charge-discharge cycle, resulting in structure collapse and performance degradation, thus shortening the battery cycle life and making it difficult to meet the requirements of long-term stable operation. In addition, structural instability may also affect the rate performance and safety of the battery, limiting its large-scale application. Therefore, improving the structural stability and cycle performance of Prussian blue materials has become the focus of current research. Summary of the Invention

To overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies and defects in the background art, a high-entropy Prussian blue-based cathode material, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof are provided.

[0005] To solve the above technical problem, the technical solution proposed by the present invention is as follows: A high-entropy Prussian blue-based cathode material, the chemical formula of the cathode material is Na x M[Fe(CN)6] y ·mH2O@C, where M includes five different elements among Fe, Ni, Co, Mn, Zn, Ti, V or Cu, and the molar ratio between the five different elements is 1:1:1:1:1 to 1:3:3:3:3, 0 < x ≤ 2, 0 < y ≤ 3, 0 < m ≤ 5, and the molar ratio of the carbon component to the high-entropy Prussian blue-based component is 1:5 to 1:10. The present invention utilizes the different physical and chemical properties of multiple metal elements. Through the coordination of different transition metal elements with cyanide groups, their respective advantages are exerted to make up for the deficiencies of single metal elements, and a stable sodium ion and electron continuous transmission channel is constructed in the Prussian blue structure.

[0031] Example 1 This example provides a high-entropy Prussian blue-based sodium battery cathode material. The cathode material has a cubic morphology and the chemical formula is Na 1.41 Mn 0.32 Fe0.11 Co 0.28 Ni 0.32 Cu 0.32 [Fe(CN)6] 2.89 ·2.89H2O@KB (where KB represents Ketjenblack), and the molar ratio of Ketjenblack to the high-entropy Prussian blue-like component is 1:6 to 1:8.

[0032] The preparation method of the high-entropy Prussian blue-like sodium-ion battery cathode material is as follows: (1) Heat 6 g of NaCl and 160 mg of acetylene black in a water bath at 30 - 60 °C with stirring for 20 - 60 min, then ultrasonically disperse in an ultrasonic oscillator for 10 - 30 min, and fully dissolve and disperse in 200 ml of deionized water to prepare solution C; (2) Dissolve 7 mmol of Na4Fe(CN)6 in 100 mL of deionized water to prepare solution A; (3) Respectively take 1 mmol of MnSO4, FeSO4, CoSO4, NiSO4, CuSO4 and 5 mmol of sodium citrate and dissolve them in 100 mL of deionized water to prepare solution B; (4) Under the conditions of heating and stirring, disperse nitrogen into the reaction solution through an f-tube to create a nitrogen atmosphere, and simultaneously drip solution A and solution B into solution C through a peristaltic pump for coprecipitation reaction, controlling the dropping rate of solution A to be 0.8 mL / min -1 and the dropping rate of solution B to be 1 mL / min -1 ; (5) After the dropping is completed, continue to stir for 2 h at the original temperature and rotation speed, then stand and age in the dark at room temperature for 24 h, centrifuge and wash to collect the aged precipitate, pre-dry in a vacuum oven at 80 °C for 2 h, then raise the temperature to 100 °C and dry for 10 h, and finally dry at 120 °C for 10 h to obtain the high-entropy Prussian blue-like sodium-ion battery cathode material, denoted as HE-PBA@C.

Uniformly coat the obtained slurry on the surface of aluminum foil, blow-dry in a blast oven at 60 °C for 3 h to dry the solvent, and then vacuum-dry at 100 °C and 120 °C for 10 h respectively. Cut the dried electrode sheet into circular electrode sheets with a diameter of 15 mm.

[0034] Using the above-mentioned electrode as the positive electrode, metallic sodium as the negative electrode, a mixed solution of 1M NaClO4 in diethyl carbonate (DEC) and ethylene carbonate (EC) (volume ratio 1:1) as the electrolyte base solution, and adding 5wt% fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) as the electrolyte additive. A glass fiber separator is used, and a button cell is assembled in a CR2032 type battery case.

[0035] The assembled battery is subjected to an electrochemical performance test, and the test voltage range is 2 - 4V.

It can be seen the successful combination of the high-entropy Prussian blue-like material and the carbon material, as well as the nanoscale cubic crystal structure of the material. Figure 2 It is the XRD test pattern of HE-PBA@C. Figure 5 It is the charge-discharge curves of HE-PBA@C at a current density of 100 mA g −1 at the 1st, 150th, and 300th cycles during the long-cycle test.

The capacity retention rates at the 150th and 300th cycles are 96.8% and 95.4% respectively. The cycling stability performance of HE-PBA@C is excellent. By compounding with conductive carbon materials, the cycling stability performance of the material is further improved. Figure 9 It is the performance curve of the long-cycle test of HE-PBA@C material at a high rate of 50C. The discharge specific capacities at the 1st and 6000th cycles are 70.5 mAh / g and 57 mAh / g respectively, and the capacity retention rate is 80.85%, further indicating the excellent long-cycle stability performance of HE-PBA@C material.

[0037] Comparative Example 1 This example provides a Prussian blue-based sodium battery positive electrode material. The positive electrode material has a cubic morphology and the chemical formula is Na2MnFe(CN)6.

[0038] The preparation method of the Prussian blue-based sodium battery positive electrode material is as follows: (1) Dissolve 14 g of NaCl fully and disperse it in 200 ml of deionized water to prepare solution C; (2) Take 3 mmol of Na4Fe(CN)6 and dissolve it in 50 mL of deionized water to prepare solution A; (3) Take 6 mmol of MnCl2 and 6 mmol of sodium citrate, dissolve them in 50 mL, and add 1.2 g of polyvinylpyrrolidone dispersant to prepare solution B; (4) Under the conditions of heating and stirring, disperse nitrogen into the reaction solution through tube f to create a nitrogen atmosphere. Drop solution A and solution B into solution C simultaneously through a peristaltic pump for coprecipitation reaction. Control the dropping rate of solution A to be 0.8 mL / min -1 , and the dropping rate of solution B to be 1 mL / min -1 ; (5) After the dropping is completed, continue to stir for 2 h while maintaining the original temperature and rotation speed, then let it stand and age in the dark at room temperature for 24 h. Centrifuge and wash to collect the aged precipitate, pre-dry it in a vacuum oven at 80 °C for 2 h, then raise the temperature to 100 °C and dry for 10 h, and finally dry at 120 °C for 10 h to obtain the high-entropy Prussian blue-based sodium ion cathode material, denoted as PW.

[0039] The application of the high-entropy Prussian blue-based sodium ion cathode material is as follows: Mix PW, conductive agent, and binder in a mass ratio of 8:1:1, add N-methylpyrrolidone solvent, place it in a 5 mL glass container, and continuously stir at a speed of 1500 rpm for 12 h. Coat the obtained slurry evenly on the surface of the aluminum foil, dry it in a blast oven at 60 °C for 3 h to dry the solvent, and then vacuum dry it at 100 °C and 120 °C for 10 h respectively. Cut the dried electrode sheet into circular electrode sheets with a diameter of 15 mm.

[0040] Use the above electrode sheet as the positive electrode, use metallic sodium as the negative electrode, and use a mixed solution of 1 M NaClO4 in diethyl carbonate (DEC) and ethylene carbonate (EC) (volume ratio 1:1) as the electrolyte base solution, and add 5 wt% fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) as the electrolyte additive. Use a glass fiber separator and assemble a button cell in a CR2032 type battery case.

[0041] Conduct electrochemical performance tests on the assembled battery, and the test voltage range is 2~4V.

[0042] Figure 3 is the charge-discharge curves of PW at the 1st, 150th, and 300th cycles in the long-term cycling test at a current density of 100 mA / g −1 ; Figure 6 is the charge-discharge curves of PW at the 1st, 150th, and 300th cycles in the long-term cycling test at a current density of 100 mA / g −1Long cycle test curve at a certain current density. The discharge specific capacities of the 1st, 150th, and 300th cycles are 100.2 mAh / g, 35.9 mAh / g, and 25.8 mAh / g respectively. The capacity retention rates of the 150th and 300th cycles are 35.8% and 25.7% respectively. Therefore, it can be seen that the cycling stability of the PW material is very poor, which is mainly due to the structural defects of the material caused by the Jahn-Teller distortion of the Mn element.

[0043] Comparative Example 2 This comparative example provides a Prussian blue-based sodium-ion battery cathode material. The cathode material has a cubic morphology and the chemical formula is Na 1.41 Mn 0.32 Fe 0.11 Co 0.28 Ni 0.32 Cu 0.32 [Fe(CN)6] 2.89 ·H2O[dc1].

[0044] The preparation method of the Prussian blue-based sodium-ion battery cathode material is as follows: (1) Dissolve 6 g of NaCl thoroughly in 200 ml of deionized water to prepare solution C; (2) Dissolve 7 mmol of Na4Fe(CN)6 in 100 mL of deionized water to prepare solution A; (3) Take 1 mmol of MnSO4, FeSO4, CoSO4, NiSO4, and CuSO4 each and 5 mmol of sodium citrate and dissolve them in 100 mL of deionized water, and add 1 g of polyvinylpyrrolidone dispersant to prepare solution B; (4) Under the conditions of heating and stirring, disperse nitrogen into the reaction solution through an f-tube to create a nitrogen atmosphere, and simultaneously drip solution A and solution B into solution C through a peristaltic pump for coprecipitation reaction. Control the dropping rate of solution A to be 0.8 mL / min -1 , and the dropping rate of solution B to be 1 mL / min -1 ; (5) After the dropping is completed, continue to stir for 2 h at the original temperature and rotation speed, then let it stand and age for 24 h in the dark at room temperature. Centrifuge and wash to collect the aged precipitate, pre-dry it in a vacuum oven at 80 °C for 2 hours, then raise the temperature to 100 °C and dry for 10 hours, and finally dry at 120 °C for 10 hours to obtain a high-entropy Prussian blue-based sodium-ion cathode material, denoted as HE-PBA.

[0045] The application of the Prussian blue-based sodium-ion battery cathode material is as follows: Mix HE-PBA, conductive agent, and binder in a mass ratio of 8:1:1, add N-methylpyrrolidone solvent, place it in a 5 mL glass container, and continuously stir at a speed of 1500 rpm for 12 hours. Uniformly coat the obtained slurry on the surface of the aluminum foil, and dry it in a blast dryer at 60 °C for 3 hours to dry the solvent, and then vacuum dry it at 100 °C and 120 °C for 10 hours respectively. Punch the dried electrode sheet into circular electrode sheets with a diameter of 15 mm.

[0046] Use the above electrode sheet as the positive electrode, use metallic sodium as the negative electrode, and use a mixed solution of diethyl carbonate (DEC) and ethylene carbonate (EC) with 1 M NaClO4 (volume ratio 1:1) as the electrolyte base solution, and add 5 wt% fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) as the electrolyte additive. Use a glass fiber separator and assemble a button cell in a CR2032 type battery case.

[0047] Conduct electrochemical performance tests on the assembled battery, and the test voltage range is 2~4V.

[0048] Figure 4 It is the charge-discharge curves of the 1st, 150th, and 300th cycles in the long cycle test of HE-PBA at a current density of 100 mA g −1 The charge-discharge curves of the 1st, 150th, and 300th cycles in the long cycle test of HE-PBA at a current density of 100 mA g Figure 8 It is the long cycle test curve of HE-PBA at a current density of 100 mA g −1 The discharge specific capacities of the 1st, 150th, and 300th cycles are 75.1 mAh / g, 68.6 mAh / g, and 66.5 mAh / g respectively, and the capacity retention rates of the 150th and 300th cycles are 91.3% and 88.5% respectively. Therefore, it can be seen that the HE-PBA material has excellent cycle stability. By introducing different metal elements, the Jahn-Teller distortion of Mn is effectively weakened. Compared with the PW material, the cycle stability of the material is improved, but its conductivity needs to be improved, and the stability of the overall material structure needs to be optimized.
