Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sodium / potassium ion batteries, and more specifically, to a high-entropy cathode material for sodium / potassium ion batteries doped with multiple anions, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the large-scale development of renewable energy and the rapid popularization of electric vehicles, the demand for high-performance secondary batteries has been increasing. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been widely used in the fields of portable electronic devices and electric vehicles due to their high energy density and good cycle life. However, the uneven distribution of lithium resources, rising costs, and geopolitical factors have restricted the further popularization of lithium-ion batteries. In contrast, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) have become important research directions to supplement lithium-ion batteries due to their abundant raw materials, low cost, and excellent electrochemical properties.

[0003] In sodium / potassium ion batteries, the performance of the cathode material has a decisive impact on the overall energy density, cycle life, and rate performance of the battery. Traditional sodium / potassium layered oxides (such as Na x MO2, K x MO2, where M is a transition metal) have become one of the early explored cathode materials due to their similar structure to lithium layered oxides. However, such materials generally have problems such as poor structural stability, rapid capacity decay, and insufficient rate performance, which greatly limit their practical applications.

[0004] To improve the performance of cathode materials, researchers have proposed the design strategy of high-entropy materials (HEMs). By introducing multiple metal elements (usually more than five) to form a near-equimolar ratio mixture at lattice sites, high-entropy materials can significantly improve the thermodynamic stability and anti-phase transition ability of the crystal structure and improve the electrochemical performance. Therefore, high-entropy design has been introduced into sodium / potassium layered oxide cathode materials to enhance the cycle stability and rate performance of materials through the synergistic effect of multiple elements.

[0005] In addition to the cationic high-entropy strategy, anion regulation is also considered an effective means to improve material performance. By introducing heteroanion doping, the charge distribution, lattice parameters, electronic structure, and ion diffusion kinetics of materials can be adjusted, thereby further optimizing the electrochemical reaction characteristics of cathode materials. In particular, the electronegativity and size effect of anions play an important role in stabilizing the structure and improving electron / ion conductivity.

[0006] However, current research on the co-doping of polyanions in high-entropy sodium / potassium layered oxide cathode materials is still relatively limited. Traditional methods mainly involve simple mixing doping, which has the following problems: (1) It is difficult to achieve efficient and orderly doping of multiple anions, with low anion introduction efficiency, insufficient controllability of doping degree and material structure, and easy abnormal growth of particles during heat treatment, making it difficult to control particle size, increasing ion diffusion resistance, reducing rate performance and cycle stability, and resulting in limited improvement in the actual performance of the material. (2) It is difficult to achieve uniform distribution of cations and anions, with certain limitations in doping uniformity and doping depth, and prone to local phase separation or crystal defects. (3) Existing preparation technologies have high requirements for atmosphere and equipment, narrow process windows, complex preparation processes, and it is difficult to balance doping effects and material large-scale preparation requirements.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new preparation method that can achieve efficient doping of multiple anions, moderate particle size, stable structure and simple process, and can achieve uniform and stable distribution of cations and anions in high-entropy layered oxide cathode materials, so as to further improve the comprehensive performance and application prospects of high-entropy sodium / potassium ion battery cathode materials. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The object of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned defects existing in the prior art, and provide an efficient and controllable high-entropy cathode material for sodium / potassium ion batteries with multi-anion doping, its preparation method and application, so as to solve the problems of uneven multi-anion doping, low doping efficiency, poor material structure stability, difficult control of particle size and complex process in the prior art. By introducing multiple anions for co-doping and combining with a multi-step high-temperature quenching and re-firing treatment process based on the electronegativity order of anions, efficient and uniform doping of multiple cations and anions in a single-phase layered oxide structure is achieved, while optimizing the particle size, effectively improving the material structure stability, enhancing the ion migration rate and cycle stability of the material, thereby significantly improving the comprehensive electrochemical performance and practical application potential of high-entropy sodium / potassium ion battery cathode materials.

[0009] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A preparation method of a high-entropy cathode material for sodium / potassium ion batteries with multi-anion doping, the chemical formula of the high-entropy cathode material is A 0.5 Mn 0.7 Co 0.06 Fe 0.06 Cu 0.06 Ti 0.06 Li 0.06 O 1.85 S 0.05 N 0.05 F 0.05 ; wherein, A is K or Na; the preparation method of the high-entropy cathode material includes the following steps: S1. According to the chemical ratio, mix the alkali metal salt, Mn source, Co source, Fe source, Cu source, Ti source and Li source, and then grind to obtain a mixture powder; S2. Calcinate the mixture powder to obtain a precursor; S3. Dissolve the S source in deionized water, stir to dissolve, and then refrigerate at 5°C to 8°C for 30 min to 50 min to enhance the thermal shock effect during high-temperature quenching, obtaining a mixed solution A; S4. According to the chemical ratio, heat the precursor to 650°C to 950°C, then add it to the mixed solution A and perform quenching treatment at 25°C to 30°C, and then filter and dry; S5. Dissolve the N source in deionized water, stir to dissolve, and then refrigerate at 5°C to 8°C for 30 min to 50 min to enhance the thermal shock effect during high-temperature quenching, obtaining a mixed solution B; S6. According to the chemical ratio, heat the material obtained in step S4 to 650°C to 950°C, then add it to the mixed solution B and perform quenching treatment at 25°C to 30°C, and then filter and dry; S7. Dissolve the F source in deionized water, stir to dissolve, and then refrigerate at 5°C to 8°C for 30 min to 50 min to enhance the thermal shock effect during high-temperature quenching, obtaining a mixed solution C; S8.

Sinter the quenched material obtained in step S8 at 300°C to 1500°C for 8 h to 15 h to obtain the sintered material; S10. Repeat the operations of steps S3 to S9 on the sintered material to obtain the high-entropy cathode material; the high-entropy cathode material is a single-phase layered oxide structure with a space group of P63 / mmc, lattice parameters a = 2.8 Å to 3.0 Å, c = 13.8 Å to 14.5 Å; the particle size of the high-entropy cathode material is 5 μm to 20 μm.

[0010] Specifically, the anion doping sequence is carried out in ascending order of electronegativity, that is, the anion doping sequence is S 2- , N 3- , F -, to avoid the prior doping of high electronegativity anions, which makes it difficult to introduce low electronegativity anions, thereby improving the doping efficiency and uniformity; after multiple high-temperature quenching treatments, the material needs to be re-fired to stabilize the structure. Since there is a tendency for particle growth during the re-firing process, the present invention effectively inhibits excessive particle growth by optimizing the re-firing temperature and time, ensuring that the particle size of the obtained material is controlled within the range of 5μm to 20μm, maintaining a high specific surface area and ion migration rate, and further improving the battery rate performance and cycle stability.

[0011] Optionally, in step S1, the particle size of the mixture powder is 5μm to 15μm; the alkali metal salt includes Na2CO3 or K2CO3; the Mn source, the Co source, the Fe source, the Cu source, the Ti source, and the Li source are each at least one of the corresponding transition metal carbonates and oxides.

[0012] Optionally, in step S2, the heating rate of the calcination is 1°C / min to 10°C / min, preferably 3°C / min to 7°C / min, the calcination temperature is 200°C to 1200°C, preferably 700°C to 1000°C, and the calcination time is 3h to 20h, preferably 8h to 12h.

[0013] Optionally, in steps S4, S6, and S8, the drying temperature is 70°C to 180°C, preferably 100°C to 150°C, and the drying time is 5h to 24h, preferably 8h to 12h.

[0014] Optionally, in step S9, the sintering temperature is preferably 500°C to 1000°C, and the sintering time is 8h to 15h.

[0015] Optionally, in step S10, the number of repeated operations is 2 to 20 times, preferably 2 to 8 times.

[0017] The present invention also discloses a high-entropy cathode material for a sodium / potassium ion battery with multi-anion doping prepared by the above preparation method.

[0018] The present invention also discloses the application of a high-entropy cathode material for a sodium / potassium ion battery with multi-anion doping prepared by the above preparation method in a cathode material for a sodium / potassium ion battery.

[0019] Implementing the embodiments of the present invention will have the following beneficial effects: By introducing multiple anions for co-doping and combining multiple high-temperature quenching and re-firing treatments, the present invention significantly improves the structural stability, ion diffusion performance, and electrochemical activity of the high-entropy layered oxide cathode material. The prepared material not only has a highly uniform distribution of anions and cations and a single-phase P63 / mmc layered structure, but also realizes comprehensive performance improvements such as controllable particle size (5μm - 20μm), high specific surface area, long cycle life, and excellent rate performance. Specifically as follows: First, S 2- , N 3- , and F - anions are introduced in sequence according to the order of increasing electronegativity, effectively improving the doping efficiency and uniformity, and optimizing the electronic structure and ion diffusion performance of the material. Secondly, the process of multiple high-temperature quenching and re-firing is adopted, which not only promotes the stable doping of anions, but also inhibits the excessive growth of particles by precisely controlling the re-firing temperature and time, making the particle size of the material stable in the range of 5μm - 20μm, maintaining a high specific surface area and excellent rate performance. At the same time, through the high-entropy design of multiple transition metals, the structural stability and cycle life of the material are enhanced. The overall process flow is simple and highly controllable, with good prospects for large-scale application.

[0020] Compared with the traditional preparation method, the present invention has a simple process and high doping efficiency, can effectively inhibit the structural collapse and performance degradation of the material during long-term cycling, and significantly enhances the practicability and competitiveness of sodium / potassium ion batteries in high energy density and long-life application scenarios.
