Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of sodium-ion battery materials technology, specifically relating to a high-entropy layered oxide cathode material, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the continuous rise in lithium resource prices, lithium batteries have faced severe challenges in terms of resource supply, safety, and cost control. Developing new alternative battery systems has become an urgent need in the energy storage field. Against this backdrop, sodium-ion batteries, with their advantages of abundant resources, low cost, environmental friendliness, good rate performance, and fast reaction kinetics, are widely considered one of the preferred technologies for next-generation energy storage systems.

[0003] However, the development of sodium-ion batteries still faces significant challenges. Because the radius of sodium ions (1.02 Å) is approximately 1.3 times that of lithium ions (0.76 Å), their energy and power densities are relatively low, which to some extent restricts their commercialization. Among these, the cathode material, as the core component of sodium-ion batteries, is a key factor determining their electrochemical performance. Among various cathode material systems, layered transition metal oxides have attracted considerable attention due to their high specific capacity, simple preparation process, and good structural stability. In particular, manganese-based layered oxides, due to their high theoretical specific capacity, low toxicity, and cost advantages, have become a hot research direction for sodium-ion battery cathode materials. However, these materials still face many bottlenecks in practical applications: irreversible oxygen redox reactions lead to capacity decay; significant phase transitions during charge and discharge cause structural instability; the Jahn-Teller effect causes lattice distortion; Mn element dissolution causes loss of active material; and stress accumulation leads to microcrack formation, severely restricting their cycle stability and practical application value.

[0004] To address the aforementioned key challenges, recent research has demonstrated that high-entropy co-doping strategies offer an innovative solution for enhancing the electrochemical performance of manganese-based layered oxide cathode materials. High-entropy materials, with their unique multi-element synergistic effects—including thermodynamic high-entropy, kinetic hysteresis diffusion, lattice distortion, and a "cocktail" effect—can effectively modulate the intrinsic properties of the material. Specifically, in high-entropy materials, multiple elements occupy different positions in the crystal lattice, forming a stable crystal structure that effectively alleviates structural stress and phase transition issues during electrochemical cycling. Furthermore, the charge compensation mechanism in high-entropy cathode materials allows the redox reactions of positive and anions to jointly contribute to the overall capacity, significantly improving the reversible capacity and energy density of the cathode material. Therefore, the high-entropy co-doping strategy overcomes the design limitations of traditional ternary materials, optimizing material performance through multi-atom synergistic effects. This provides new research ideas for the innovative design of sodium-ion battery cathode materials and has significant scientific and application value for promoting the commercialization of sodium-ion battery technology.

[0025] Comparative Example 1 An oxide cathode material, wherein the oxide cathode material is Na, which is commonly used in the prior art. 0.67 MnO2.

[0026] The high-entropy layered oxide cathode materials prepared in Examples 1-3 of this invention have similar properties. Taking the high-entropy layered oxide cathode material in Example 1 as an example, the performance of the cathode material will be described in detail.

[0027] Experimental Example 1: Morphology Analysis of High-Entropy Layered Oxide Cathode Materials Na in Example 1 0.67 Li 0.18 Mg 0.13 Co 0.08 Cu 0.08 Mn 0.71 O2 was subjected to SEM testing, and the results were as follows: Figure 1 As shown in the figure. It can be seen from the figure that the prepared Na... 0.67 Li 0.18 Mg 0.13 Co 0.08 Cu 0.08 Mn 0.71 O2 exhibits a secondary particle structure consisting of fine particles agglomerated into spherical shapes. The size of most individual particles is less than 1 μm, and the smaller particle size shortens the distance that sodium ions inside the particles diffuse to the surface.

[0028] For Na in Example 1 0.67 Li 0.18 Mg 0.13 Co 0.08 Cu 0.08 Mn 0.71 O2 was subjected to TEM testing, and the results were as follows: Figure 2 As shown in the figure. It can be seen from the figure that the prepared Na... 0.67 Li 0.18 Mg 0.13 Co 0.08 Cu 0.08 Mn 0.71 O2 has a uniform hollow spherical layered structure with an average diameter of 3~6μm. The unique hollow spherical morphology is conducive to the wetting of electrolyte, ensuring that the particles can contact the electrolyte, thereby improving the electrochemical reactivity of the material.

[0029] For Na in Example 1 0.67 Li 0.18 Mg 0.13 Co 0.08 Cu 0.08 Mn 0.71XRD analysis was performed on O2, and the results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the XRD diffraction curves reveal the prepared Na 0.67 Li 0.18 Mg 0.13 Co 0.08 Cu 0.08 Mn 0.71 All the diffraction peaks in the O2 sodium-ion battery cathode material correspond well to the standard card of the P2 type structure of the hexagonal crystal system P63 / mmc space group, indicating that the material has a typical P2 phase layered structure. The absence of obvious impurity peaks indicates that the high-entropy strategy of multi-element co-doping has not destroyed the crystal structure of the material, but has instead enhanced its structural stability through the synergistic effect of multi-element doping.

[0030] Experimental Example 2: Performance Analysis of High-Entropy Layered Oxide Cathode Materials Based on the aforementioned high-entropy layered oxide cathode material, a high-energy-density sodium-ion secondary battery is assembled; hard carbon is used as the negative electrode material for the sodium-ion secondary battery, and the high-entropy layered oxide cathode material is used as the positive electrode material; the sodium-ion secondary battery is prepared through the following steps: (1) In a stainless steel glove box under an inert atmosphere, the high-entropy layered oxide positive electrode material is ground and mixed with a conductive agent and a binder in a mass ratio of 6:2:2, and then coated onto an aluminum foil current collector to form a positive electrode sheet; wherein, the conductive agent is acetylene black (or conductive carbon black or Super P), the binder is polyacrylic acid (or polytetrafluoroethylene or polyvinylidene fluoride), and the grinding time is 15 minutes. (2) In a stainless steel glove box under an inert atmosphere, the positive electrode sheet is dried at 90°C and then cut to obtain an electrode sheet. The prepared positive electrode sheet and negative electrode sheet are matched and assembled into a button sodium-ion secondary battery. The electrolyte is prepared by mixing 1M NaPF6, EC / DME (v:v=1:1) and 5% fluoroethylene carbonate. The battery is assembled with glass fiber in an Ar atmosphere stainless steel glove box with water and oxygen content of less than 1ppm.

[0031] Using the same method, sodium-ion secondary batteries were assembled using the positive electrode material from Comparative Example 1 as the positive electrode material.

[0032] Cyclic voltammetry tests were performed on the sodium-ion secondary battery assembled using the high-entropy layered oxide cathode material described in Example 1, and the cyclic voltammetry curves are shown below. Figure 4As shown in the figure, the high-entropy layered oxide cathode material exhibits good reversibility during charge and discharge, with clear and symmetrical redox peaks. Furthermore, a significant lattice oxygen oxidation peak exists above 4.3V, indicating that the high-entropy strategy of multi-element co-doping effectively suppresses the Jahn-Teller effect and phase transition during charge and discharge, improves the reversibility of oxygen redox, and contributes to a certain capacity.

[0033] The sodium-ion secondary batteries assembled with the high-entropy layered oxide cathode material of Example 1 and the oxide cathode material of Comparative Example 1 were subjected to cycle performance tests at low currents, and the results are as follows. Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the high-entropy layered oxide cathode material in Example 1 retains over 80% of its capacity after 100 cycles at 0.5C, demonstrating excellent cycle stability. This indicates that the multi-element synergistic effect based on the high-entropy strategy effectively alleviates the structural stress and capacity decay problems of the material during cycling. The sodium-ion secondary batteries assembled with the high-entropy layered oxide cathode material in Example 1 and the oxide cathode material in Comparative Example 1 were subjected to high-current cycle performance tests, and the results are as follows: Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the high-entropy layered oxide cathode material in Example 1 can maintain a high specific capacity even at high rates, indicating that the material's unique hollow spherical structure and multi-element synergistic effect optimize sodium ion transport kinetics and electrochemical reaction activity, and significantly improve the material's rate performance.

[0034] The sodium-ion secondary battery assembled using the high-entropy layered oxide cathode material in Example 1 was subjected to charge-discharge capacity tests within a voltage range of 1.5-4.5V. The results are as follows: Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the voltage difference corresponding to the plateau of the charge-discharge curve is small, indicating small polarization. The charge-discharge curves overlap well during cycling, indicating good cycling performance of the material.

[0035] In summary, this invention leverages the synergistic effect of multi-element co-doping based on a high-entropy strategy to enhance the material's structural stability, electrochemical reversibility, and rate performance. The unique micron-sized hollow spherical structure synthesized via a simple solvothermal method further optimizes sodium ion transport kinetics. Experimental results demonstrate that this material exhibits excellent electrochemical performance in terms of cycle stability and rate performance, providing important technical reference for the development of high-performance sodium-ion battery cathode materials.
