Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of anode materials for sodium-ion batteries, and more specifically, to carbon materials for sodium-ion battery anodes, preparation methods, and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, sodium-ion batteries are expected to be applied in the field of large-scale energy storage due to the advantages of abundant sodium resources and low cost. For sodium-ion batteries, their successful commercialization largely depends on the innovation of low-cost and high-performance electrode active materials. However, although graphite is widely used as the anode of lithium-ion batteries, due to the larger radius of Na ions (0.103 nm) than Li ions (0.071 nm), the small interlayer spacing of graphite anode materials seriously hinders the insertion and extraction of sodium ions, making the commonly used anode materials for existing lithium-ion batteries (such as graphite) not suitable for direct use in sodium-ion batteries. In 2000, Stevens, Dahn, and others found that hard carbon has a reversible sodium capacity of 300 mAhg -1 Thereafter, researchers turned their attention to the research of amorphous carbon anodes, especially hard carbon anode materials.

[0003] Generally, the precursors for preparing hard carbon are materials such as biomass, polymers, and coal. Among them, coal, as a fossil energy with rich reserves and wide distribution in China, has a higher carbon content and carbon density compared to small molecule substances and biomass carbon sources. It is the highest-quality carbon source with the highest carbon content in nature except for graphite and diamond. However, according to different metamorphic degrees of coal, there are different coal ranks, and different coal ranks show different structural characteristics, which make the performance of the anode materials prepared for sodium-ion battery anodes vary greatly. In view of this, it is particularly necessary to provide a high-capacity carbon material that can be prepared using coal as a precursor. Summary of the Invention

[0055] The embodiments of the present invention provide a carbon material for the negative electrode of a sodium-ion battery, and the Raman spectrum of the carbon material satisfies feature ① and feature ②:

[0056] Feature ① 0.4 ≤ I G / I D ≤ 0.5;

[0057] Feature ② 0.35 ≤ I D3+D4 / I All ≤ 0.42; and / or, I D3 / I Gˋ+D2+D3 ≥ 0.14;

[0058] Wherein, I G is the area of the G peak in the Raman spectrum; I D is the area of the D peak in the Raman spectrum; I D3+D4 is the total area of the D3 and D4 peaks in the fitted Raman spectrum; I All is the total area of the Gˋ, D1, D2, D3 and D4 peaks in the fitted Raman spectrum; I D3 is the area of the D3 peak in the fitted Raman spectrum; I Gˋ+D2+D3 is the total area of the Gˋ, D2 and D3 peaks in the fitted Raman spectrum;

[0059] The fitted Raman spectrum is obtained by deconvolution of the Raman spectrum; the peak value of the Gˋ peak is at 1560 cm -1 ~1600 cm -1between; the peak value of the D1 peak is at 1330 cm -1 ~1370 cm -1 between; the peak value of the D2 peak is at 1480 cm -1 ~1520 cm -1 between; the peak value of the D3 peak is at 1610 cm -1 ~1640 cm -1 between; the peak value of the D4 peak is at 1180 cm -1 ~1220 cm -1 between.

[0060] I G / I D is related to the degree of order of the carbon structure in the Raman spectrum. In this application, I G / I D is used to characterize the degree of order of the carbon structure. Specifically, I G / I D satisfies 0.4 ≤ I G / I D ≤ 0.5. For example, I G / I D can be 0.4, 0.41, 0.42, 0.43, 0.44, 0.45, 0.46, 0.47, 0.48, 0.49, 0.5.

[0061] I D3+D4 / I All is related to the defects of the carbon structure. In this application, I D3+D4 / I All is used to characterize the degree of defects of the carbon structure. Specifically, I D3+D4 / I All satisfies 0.35 ≤ I D3+D4 / I All ≤ 0.42. For example, I D3+D4 / I All can be 0.35, 0.36, 0.37, 0.38, 0.39, 0.40, 0.41, 0.42.

[0062] I D3 / I Gˋ+D2+D3 is related to the degree of disorder of the carbon structure. In this application, I D3 / I Gˋ+D2+D3 is used to characterize the degree of disorder of the carbon structure. Specifically, I D3 / I Gˋ+D2+D3 satisfies I D3 / I Gˋ+D2+D3 ≥ 0.14. For example, I D3 / I Gˋ+D2+D3It can be 0.141, 0.142, 0.143, 0.144, 0.145, 0.146, 0.147, 0.148, 0.149, 0.150, 0.160, 0.170, 0.180, preferably 0.18 ≥ I D3 / I Gˋ+D2+D3 ≥ 0.14

[0063] The carbon material structure for the negative electrode of the sodium-ion battery meets the above requirements, which is beneficial to the improvement of reversible capacity, first-cycle discharge specific capacity and rate performance.

[0064] In this application, the peak of the G peak is usually between 1580 cm and 1620 cm, and the peak of the D peak is usually between 1300 cm and 1400 cm. The Gˋ peak is obtained by deconvoluting the G peak.

[0065] In an alternative embodiment, the carbon material satisfies at least one of the following characteristics a-i:

[0066] a.d 002 is 0.36 nm - 0.39 nm, for example, it can be 0.36 nm, 0.365 nm, 0.37 nm, 0.375 nm, 0.38 nm, 0.385 nm, 0.39 nm; moderately increasing d 002 is beneficial to reducing the sodium ion diffusion resistance and providing more active sites, which is beneficial to the insertion and extraction of sodium ions, and thus helps to improve the sodium storage capacity, but d 002 being too large will lead to a decrease in structural stability, electronic conductivity and cycle stability.

[0067] b. Lc is 1.20 nm - 1.4 nm, for example, it can be 1.20 nm, 1.25 nm, 1.30 nm, 1.35 nm, 1.40 nm; Lc is related to the crystallinity of the material. When Lc is within a reasonable range, it is beneficial to balance the electronic conductivity while providing sufficient sodium storage sites.

[0068] c. Lc / d 002 is 3.35 - 3.65, for example, it can be 3.35, 3.40, 3.45, 3.50, 3.55, 3.60, 3.65; the decrease of Lc / d 002 is beneficial to improving the sodium storage capacity, but at the same time it will also lead to a decrease in electronic conductivity and rate performance.

[0069] d. The closed pore rate is 40% - 65%, for example, it can be 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%; the decrease of the closed pore rate is beneficial to increasing the number of effective sodium storage sites, and thus increasing the sodium storage capacity, but too low closed pore rate will lead to a decrease in cycle performance.

[0070] e. The carbon material includes amorphous carbon;

[0071] f. Reversible specific capacity > 300 mAh / g, for example, it can be 300 mAh / g, 305 mAh / g, 310 mAh / g, 315 mAh / g, 320 mAh / g;

[0072] h. Specific discharge capacity in the first cycle > 320 mAh / g, for example, it can be 320 mAh / g, 330 mAh / g, 340 mAh / g, 350 mAh / g, 360 mAh / g;

[0073] i. Initial efficiency > 90%, for example, it can be 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%.

[0074] The embodiment of the present invention also provides a preparation method of the carbon material for the negative electrode of a sodium ion battery described in the foregoing embodiment, including:

[0075] Float the slurry containing raw coal powder to obtain the floating matter and the sinking matter;

[0076] Pickle the floating matter to obtain the ash - removed floating matter;

[0077] Successively subject the ash - removed floating matter to pre - oxidation, steam activation and roasting to obtain the carbon material.

[0078] In this application, the main components in the floating matter are vitrinite and a small amount of exinite. Vitrinite and exinite have a high volatile content and adhesiveness, and their chemical reaction activity is high, which is called the active component; the main component in the sinking matter is inertinite, which has high thermal stability and aromatization degree, and is called the inert component. The I G / I D 、I D3+D4 / I All and I D3 / I Gˋ+D2+D3 of the carbon material obtained by pickling, pre - oxidizing, steam - activating and roasting the floating matter meet the foregoing requirements, which is beneficial to the improvement of the capacity.

[0079] The raw coal powder in this application can be selected as low - rank coal, which is obtained by screening the low - rank coal according to the national standard GB / T477 - 2008 "Coal Screening Test Method", and then subjected to flotation.

[0080] In an alternative embodiment, the particle size of the raw coal powder is less than 200 mesh;

[0081] and / or, in the flotation step, the ratio of the raw coal powder to water in the slurry is 1 g:(15 - 25) cm 3 ;

[0082] and / or, the slurry further includes a collector and / or a foaming agent;

[0083] And / or, in the flotation step, the enrichment rate of the floating matter is 60%-80%, and the enrichment rate of the sinking matter is 10%-40%.

[0084] The enrichment content can be determined according to the heavy liquid separation method, that is, according to the configuration specific gravity liquid standard in the "Compilation of Coal Industry Standards", the ZnCl2 solution is configured, and the enrichment rate is determined using solutions with different specific gravities. The enrichment rate of the floating material, i.e., the vitrinite group, is 60-80%, and the enrichment rate of the sinking material, i.e., the inert group, is 10-40%. Vitrinite-based hard carbon has a richer graphite microcrystalline structure and C=O content, and the prepared carbon materials show better reversible capacity, ICE and rate performance. The impurities contained in the vitrinite intermediate product are the inert group and the exinite group that are not completely separated. The exinite group has a low content and decomposes into visible oil-like liquid and gas volatilization during the carbonization process, which has little effect on the negative electrode material; the inert group is difficult to graphitize, needs to be heated to a higher temperature to achieve sodium storage performance, and has a relatively large specific surface area, so its content needs to be reduced as much as possible.

[0085] In an optional embodiment, the collector is selected from at least one of oleic acid, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide and sodium dodecyl sulfate; but not limited to the above, any substance that can play the same role can be used;

[0086] And / or, the content of the collector in the slurry is 0.25 g / L-0.3 g / L;

[0087] And / or, the foaming agent includes one or more of n-octanol, sec-octanol, cyclohexanol, pine oil, industrial fusel alcohol or methyl isobutyl carbinol; but not limited thereto, any substance that can play the same role can be used.

[0088] And / or, the content of the foaming agent in the slurry is 0.08g / L-0.1g / L.

[0089] Reasonable setting of the types and dosage of collectors and frothers is beneficial to improving flotation efficiency and reducing flotation costs while obtaining the target floated objects.

[0090] In an optional embodiment, the pickling comprises sequentially performing hydrochloric acid pickling and hydrofluoric acid pickling on the floating matter;

[0091] And / or, after the hydrochloric acid washing and the hydrofluoric acid washing, the floating matter is washed with deionized water to neutrality.

[0092] The hydrochloric acid washing and hydrofluoric acid washing of the floating matter can remove the minerals contained in the floating matter and reduce the influence of the mineral residues on the performance of the negative electrode material.

[0093] In an alternative embodiment, the concentration of the hydrochloric acid solution used in the hydrochloric acid washing is 3 mol / L - 7 mol / L, for example, it can be 3 mol / L, 3.5 mol / L, 4 mol / L, 4.5 mol / L, 5 mol / L, 5.5 mol / L, 6 mol / L, 6.5 mol / L, 7 mol / L; the amount of the hydrochloric acid solution corresponding to each gram of the floating matter in the hydrochloric acid washing step is less than 10 mL, for example, it can be 10 mL, 9 mL, 8 mL, 7 mL, 6 mL, 5 mL, 4 mL, 3 mL, 2 mL, 1 mL;

[0094] and / or, the concentration of the hydrofluoric acid solution used in the hydrofluoric acid washing is 35 wt% - 45 wt%, for example, it can be 35 wt%, 37 wt%, 39 wt%, 40 wt%, 42 wt%, 44 wt%, 45 wt%; the amount of the hydrofluoric acid solution corresponding to each gram of the floating matter in the hydrofluoric acid washing step is less than 10 mL, for example, it can be 10 mL, 9 mL, 8 mL, 7 mL, 6 mL, 5 mL, 4 mL, 3 mL, 2 mL, 1 mL.

[0095] Reasonably adjusting the acid concentration and dosage is beneficial to improving the removal effect of minerals. It should be noted that, if necessary, in order to improve the removal efficiency of minerals, the pickling times and the acid dosage can also be increased, but it will cause a decrease in efficiency or an increase in acid loss.

[0096] In an alternative embodiment, the pre-oxidation temperature is 250°C - 300°C, for example, it can be 250°C, 260°C, 270°C, 280°C, 290°C, 300°C; the time is 3 h - 6 h, for example, it can be 3 h, 4 h, 5 h, 6 h; the atmosphere is an oxidizing atmosphere, such as at least one of air and oxygen; some impurities such as organic matters can be removed in the pre-oxidation step.

[0097] and / or, the activation temperature is 900°C - 950°C, for example, it can be 900°C, 910°C, 920°C, 930°C, 940°C, 950°C; the time is 2 h - 6 h, for example, it can be 2 h, 2.5 h, 3 h, 3.5 h, 4 h, 4.5 h, 5 h, 5.5 h.

[0098] The activation method can be one or more of physical activation and chemical activation. Among them, the activation gas used in physical activation can be at least one of water vapor and carbon dioxide, and the flow rate of the activation gas is 0.1 L / min - 2 L / min. For example, it can be 0.1 L / min, 0.3 L / min, 0.5 L / min, 1 L / min, 1.5 L / min, 2 L / min; the activator used in chemical activation is selected from at least one of KOH, NaOH, phosphoric acid, and potassium bicarbonate, and the addition amount of the activator is 5 wt% - 40 wt% of the deashed floating matter after pre-oxidation. For example, it can be 5 wt%, 10 wt%, 15 wt%, 20 wt%, 25 wt%, 30 wt%, 35 wt%, 40 wt%. During the activation step, it is necessary to control the activation temperature, time, and gas flow rate to adjust the carbon material structure while controlling the closed pore rate and avoiding too low a closed pore rate caused by ineffective closure of excessive open pores generated during the activation process.

[0099] It should be noted that when physical activation is used in the activation step, the activation gas reacts with carbon in the coal: C + H2O = CO + H2 or CO2 + C = 2CO. While affecting the material structure, it can also generate a developed pore structure. After calcination, the carbon layer is distorted to form a closed pore structure, which can add more active sites for the storage of Na + and is beneficial to the intercalation and deintercalation of Na + and thus is beneficial to improving the capacity.

[0100] And / or, the calcination temperature is 1200 °C - 1300 °C. For example, it can be 1200 °C, 1220 °C, 1240 °C, 1260 °C, 1280 °C, 1300 °C; the time is 2 h - 4 h. For example, it can be 2 h, 3 h, 4 h. The calcination process affects the degree of carbonization. Generally, the higher the carbonization temperature and the longer the time, the more beneficial it is to improve the degree of carbonization.

[0101] It should be noted that starting from the perspective of organic microscopic composition, this application uses the method of heavy liquid centrifugal separation to separate and enrich the components of coal rock, and uses pre-oxidation and non-alkali activation methods to obtain a high-capacity and low-impurity coal-based hard carbon anode material. Moreover, the preparation process flow is simple, the process conditions are relatively mild, excessive corrosive activation (such as alkaline solution) is avoided, it is environmentally friendly, and it is suitable for large-scale promotion.

[0102] The embodiment of the present invention also provides a negative electrode plate, including the carbon material described in the foregoing embodiment.

[0103] The embodiment of the present invention also provides a sodium-ion battery, including the negative electrode plate described in the foregoing embodiment.

The laser Raman spectroscopy (LRS) characterization of the sample was carried out on an In-Via Qontor laser confocal Raman spectrometer (Renishaw, UK). The laser wavelength used for testing was 532 nm. It was equipped with a 532 nm laser, laser power of 5 mW, integration time of 2 s, and accumulation times of 10 times.

[0110] 3. XRD microcrystalline parameters: There are two relatively large "bun-shaped" cell diffraction peaks in the range of 15 - 55°, corresponding to the 002 peak and 100 peak respectively. (The 002 peak of natural graphite is located at 26.6°). In order to compare the microcrystalline structures of the carbon residue materials, the 002 peak and 100 peak in the wavelength bands of 12 - 35° and 35 - 50° of the diffraction angle were fitted by Origin. For more accurate comparison and less error, first, the baseline of the 12 - 65° data was subtracted, and then the 002 peak and 100 peak were fitted by peak fitting. The specific microcrystalline structure information of the sample was calculated according to Bragg's law and Scherrer's law:

[0111] The calculation formula is as follows:

[0112] La = k1λ / (β 100 cosθ 100 )

[0113] Lc = k2λ / (β 002 cosθ 002 )

[0114] d 002 = λ2sinθ 002

[0115] where: d 002 is the monolayer distance of the microcrystalline structure; Lc is the microcrystalline stacking height perpendicular to the layer; La is the microcrystalline diameter size; θ 002 , θ 100 are the Bragg diffraction angles; β 002 , β 100 are the full width at half maximum; λ is the X-ray wavelength, nm; k is the shape factor, k1 = 1.84, k2 = 0.94.

[0116] 4. Raman microcrystalline parameters: In the first-order region (800 - 2000 cm -1 ) of the Raman spectrum of the carbonaceous material, there are two distinct overlapping bands, respectively called the D and G bands. Due to the overlap of the D and G bands, using only the D and G bands in the Raman spectrum will result in the loss or unknown of the characteristic information of highly disordered carbonaceous materials. Therefore, it is necessary to further deconvolute (peak fitting) the Raman spectrum of coal to obtain the hidden information of the skeletal carbon structure in the overlapping region. Among various methods, the Raman spectrum of the carbonaceous material has first-order and second-order spectral bands. The first-order spectral band can usually be further analyzed and divided into D1 - D4 and G band characteristic peaks. Applying Origin2016 to fit the peaks between 800 - 2000 cm -1 of the Raman spectrum and deconvoluting the Raman spectrum into 4 Lorentz peaks (D1, D2, D4, G) and 1 D3 Gaussian peak is the best fit, as specifically described in Table 1.

[0120] 5. Material electrochemical performance testing:

[0121] According to the mass ratio of negative electrode material: SP: CMC: SBR = 94: 2: 1.5: 2.5, weigh the negative electrode material, SP, CMC, SBR respectively and mix them evenly in deionized water to form a slurry; apply the mixed slurry on the aluminum foil current collector, bake in an oven at 80°C for 1h, and take it out and cool it to room temperature. Adjust the rolling spacing to roll the pole piece. Cut the rolled pole piece into a small disc with a diameter of 14mm and weigh it as m1. Similarly, cut the aluminum foil current collector into an aluminum foil disc with a diameter of 14mm and weigh it as m2. Among them, (m1-m2)*0.94 is the mass of the active material, recorded as m3. The weighed small discs were then placed in an 80°C oven under vacuum for 12 hours and then transferred to a glove box. The sodium sheet was used as the counter electrode and auxiliary electrode (electrolyte 1MNaPF6 / EC:DMC:DEC=3:2:2) and the fiber diaphragm was used as the diaphragm to assemble a sodium ion button cell in a glove box with oxygen and water content less than 0.01ppm. After standing for 12 hours, the electrochemical performance was tested at a constant current on the Wuhan Blue Electric Battery Test System.

[0122] The test method adopts the first-effect test system: stand for 2 hours, discharge to 0.000V at 0.1C, discharge to 0.000V at 0.08C, discharge to 0.000V at 0.05C, discharge to 0.000V at 0.02C, stand for 5 minutes, charge to 2.0V at 0.1C, and stand for 5 minutes. The cycle rate performance test mainly adopts different discharge test methods. At 25°C, each battery is charged to 2.0V at 0.1C rate and discharged to 0V at 0.1C rate, and fully charged and discharged 3 times, and then 0.2C, 0.5C, 0.2C, and 0.1C are carried out in sequence, and the number of cycles and the capacity of the corresponding battery are recorded.

[0184] The microcrystalline parameters of the samples prepared in the above embodiments and comparative examples are shown in Table 3.

[0185] Table 3

[0186]

[0189]

[0190]

[0191] From the above Table 3 and Table 4 andFigure 5 It can be seen that when the prepared carbon negative electrode material simultaneously satisfies the characteristics ① 0.4 ≤ I G / I D ≤ 0.5, characteristic ② 0.35 ≤ I D3+D4 / I All ≤ 0.42 and I D3 / I G`+D2+D3 ≥ 0.14, the reversible specific capacity, the first-cycle discharge specific capacity, and the first efficiency all have good performances. Compared with Examples 1-3, Examples 4 and 5 only satisfy the characteristics ① and characteristic ② 0.35 ≤ I D3+D4 / I All ≤ 0.42 or I D3 / I G`+D2+D3 ≥ 0.14. Although the reversible specific capacity, the first-cycle discharge specific capacity, and the first efficiency have good performances, there is an obvious gap compared with Examples 1-3.

[0192] It can be seen from the comparison between Comparative Examples 1-2 and the Examples that the carbon negative electrode materials prepared with raw coal or sinkage as carbon raw materials cannot meet the requirements of this application, which will further lead to obvious decreases in the reversible specific capacity, the first-cycle discharge specific capacity, and the first efficiency compared with Examples 4-5. It can be seen from the comparison between Comparative Examples 3-5 and Example 1 that pickling, steam activation, and carbonization degree will all affect the microstructure of the carbon material. The omission or unreasonable setting of pickling, steam activation, and carbonization degree will lead to the obtained carbon material negative electrode material not meeting the requirements of this application, which will further lead to obvious decreases in the reversible specific capacity, the first-cycle discharge specific capacity, and the first efficiency compared with Examples 4-5.

[0193] From Figure 6 the analysis of the rate performance test results, it can be known that compared with the Comparative Examples, the obtained products show better capacity retention rates at different charge and discharge currents, that is, the negative electrode materials obtained by the preparation process provided in this application have good rate performance.

[0194] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
