Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of sodium-ion battery technology, specifically relating to a biomass hard carbon sodium-ion battery anode material, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Single-atom structures are considered a potential new material structure. Among them, carbon materials co-doped with metal (Me) and nitrogen (Me-NC) exhibit high electrochemical performance due to their unique coordination structure, thus attracting much attention in the fields of catalysis and batteries. The carbon composite structures such as MeN4 or MeN5 in Me-NC, with their unique porphyrin-like biomimetic structure, have been extensively studied in the fields of carbon dioxide reduction, oxygen reduction, catalytic hydrogen production, petrochemicals, and new energy batteries. Recent research, for example, has shown that hard carbon materials containing single-atom structures of carbon composite ZnN4 can widen the interlayer spacing of hard carbon materials, regulate the p-band electron structure of carbon, and catalyze the decomposition of NaPF6 to form a stable interface layer, thereby improving the rate capability and low-temperature performance of sodium-ion battery anodes.

[0003] Currently, there are many methods for preparing MeN4 or MeN5 structures, all of which involve high-temperature treatment of precursors composed of transition metal salts, nitrogen sources, and carbon sources. However, most methods are limited to preparing MeN4 or MeN5 structures with Zn, Co, and Fe elements. This is because Zn, Co, and Fe readily coordinate with dicyandiamide, pyrrole, imidazole, melamine, etc., forming spatial topological structures. For example, Zn and Co form ZIF-8 and ZIF-67 metal-organic framework materials with dimethylimidazolium, and their coordination environment is conducive to conversion into the corresponding MeN4 or MeN5 under high-temperature carbonization. Sn and In, being alkali metals, find it very difficult to form MeN4 or MeN5 structures in their coordination environment. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a biomass hard carbon sodium-ion battery anode material containing SnN4 or InN5 single-atom active centers, its preparation method, and its application. Using phthalocyanine and / or porphyrin as N4 / N5 precursors, a biomass hard carbon sodium-ion battery anode material containing SnN4 or InN5 single-atom active centers is prepared, which exhibits performance at 50 mA g⁻¹. -1 The capacity exceeds 400mAh g -1 .

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A method for preparing a biomass hard carbon sodium-ion battery anode material includes the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: After washing the tree biomass raw materials or domestic waste multiple times, immerse them in acid and oxidant in sequence to obtain clean biomass raw materials.

[0008] Step 2: The clean biomass raw material obtained in Step 1 is crushed, sieved through a screen, immersed in a solution of tin or indium, stirred, and freeze-dried to obtain a dry powder; the solution of tin or indium contains phthalocyanine and / or porphyrin.

[0009] Step 3: The dried powder obtained in Step 2 is subjected to high-temperature carbonization under an inert atmosphere, and after cooling, the biomass hard carbon sodium-ion battery anode material is obtained.

[0010] Furthermore, the arbor biomass raw materials in step one include balsa wood, camellia fruit shells, etc.; domestic waste includes light industrial waste (such as waste wood chips from balsa wood furniture, discarded tailings, etc.) as well as root, stem, and bark residues of traditional Chinese medicine, such as one or more of Eucommia ulmoides, licorice, and dried tangerine peel.

[0011] Furthermore, the acid in step one is one or more of hydrofluoric acid, hydrochloric acid, perchloric acid, etc., with a concentration of 1-5 mol / L; the oxidant is one or more of hydrogen peroxide, sodium hypochlorite, etc., with an aqueous solution concentration of 2-20 wt.%.

[0012] Furthermore, in step two, the sieve mesh size is >300 mesh; the tin or indium solution is tin or indium nitrate, acetate, chloride, acetylacetone salt, etc., with a concentration of 1-50 mmol / L, and the solvent is a mixture of ethanol and water with a volume ratio of 2:1-1:3; the molar ratio of tin or indium to additives is 10:1-1:1.

[0013] Furthermore, the carbonization process in step three is carried out at a temperature of 1100–1500°C for 1–3 hours, under an atmosphere of argon or nitrogen.

[0014] The present invention also provides a biomass hard carbon sodium-ion battery anode material prepared by the above preparation method.

[0015] This invention also provides the application of the above-mentioned biomass hard carbon sodium-ion battery anode material, using it to prepare sodium-ion batteries.

[0016] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] This invention involves adding phthalocyanine and / or porphyrin to a solution of tin or indium as a precursor for N4 / N5, thus successfully preparing a biomass hard carbon sodium-ion battery anode material containing single-atom active centers of SnN4 or InN5. The electric field formed by the single-atom active centers facilitates sodium ion transport and also catalyzes the decomposition of the electrolyte to form a stable interface layer, suppressing interface layer changes caused by rapid charge and discharge. Therefore, it exhibits excellent electrochemical activity, achieving a high efficiency at 50 mA g⁻¹.-1 The capacity exceeds 400mAh g -1 . Attached Figure Description

[0047] Battery performance testing involved coating the prepared negative electrode material onto copper foil as the working electrode, using pure sodium as the counter electrode, NaPF6 (1M) as the electrolyte solute, and EC:DMC = 1:1 as the solvent.

[0050] As shown in Table 1, Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-2 demonstrate that the hard carbon material doped with single-atom active centers exhibits significantly better electrochemical performance than the hard carbon material without single-atom doping.

[0051] like Figure 7 As shown, testing the sodium ion migration rate demonstrates that doping with a single atom of Sn significantly improves the Na+ ion migration rate. + The migration rate is thus beneficial to the electrochemical performance of hard carbon.
