Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sodium salt batteries, and in particular to N-doped β"-AlON solid electrolyte powder and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Sodium salt batteries are a type of high-temperature sodium battery with the characteristics of stable product properties, high safety, long service life, wide range of applications, easily available and non-toxic raw materials, and simple and pollution-free waste recycling process. Sodium salt batteries have been integrated by GE's global R&D center and the technology is already at a relatively mature stage. It has been applied in 25 countries around the world and has built energy storage projects such as solar energy, wind power combinations, peak management, and communication base stations.
[0003] The electrolyte used in sodium salt batteries is β-alumina ceramic. As the core material of sodium salt batteries, β-alumina ceramic can provide strong support for sodium salt batteries, thereby ensuring their high performance and high safety. At the same time, due to the continuous expansion of the application fields of energy storage sodium batteries and the continuous innovation of technology, the importance of β-alumina ceramics is becoming more and more obvious.
[0004] The electrolyte ceramics prepared from β"-alumina powder in the prior art have the following technical problems: 1. Due to the inherent properties of β"-alumina, its resistivity is limited to 3.5-5Ω·cm. The resistivity directly affects the battery's high-power output, sustained output capacity, and charging speed. 2. The chemical bond of β"-alumina is Al-O, which has limited strength. Therefore, the achievable strength of β"-alumina is 210-230 MPa. The strength affects the safety of the battery during later use. When subjected to thermal shock, vibration, etc., the electrolyte ceramic will break, causing the entire battery to fail to function properly and shortening the battery's service life.
[0005] Therefore, with the rapid development of the energy storage industry, higher requirements are placed on sodium salt batteries, which need to have higher electrical conductivity, higher structural strength and greater current flow rate. Therefore, the preparation of an electrolyte material with better performance becomes the key. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The first object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing N-doped β"-AlON solid electrolyte powder.
[0007] The second object of the present invention is to provide an N-doped β"-AlON solid electrolyte powder.
[0008] The first object of the present invention is implemented by the following technical solution: a method for preparing N-doped β"-AlON solid electrolyte powder, which comprises the following steps: (1) Slurry preparation: Weigh anhydrous ethanol and a dispersant, add the dispersant to the anhydrous ethanol and stir evenly to prepare a mixed solution, then weigh aluminum source powder, lithium source powder, sodium source powder and nitrogen source powder to prepare a mixed powder, add the mixed powder to the mixed solution and stir thoroughly until the mixture is evenly mixed to prepare a mixed slurry. The role of adding the nitrogen source is to increase the strength and conductivity of the electrolyte ceramic prepared later; (2) Grinding to prepare precursor slurry: Grind the mixed slurry thoroughly to obtain precursor slurry; (3) Spray drying: spray drying the wet-milled precursor slurry to obtain spray-dried powder; (4) Calcination: The spray-dried powder is calcined in a nitrogen atmosphere and kept warm after calcination to obtain N-doped β"-AlON powder. The structural stability of the powder is improved by calcination. The purpose of keeping warm is to allow high temperature to penetrate the product and cook the product, so as to achieve better sintering effect. By selecting nitrogen source raw materials with a fixed structure and content, and inserting nitrogen elements during the synthesis process under nitrogen protection, β"-AlON powder with a specific composition is directionally synthesized. In addition, by sand grinding the raw materials to reduce the powder crystal size to 1-1.2μm, it is ensured that the nitrogen element can be evenly and effectively inserted, forming a uniform solid solution structure.
[0009] The combination of wet grinding and spray granulation ensures that the granulated powder after calcination has good fluidity and can be effectively filled into the sagger, solving the problem of granulated powder voids and uneven accumulation. Granulated materials within a certain particle range are selected for calcination to ensure that the material is evenly filled into the sagger during the calcination process, with good dispersion and uniform powder crystals, thus obtaining β"-AlON with a stable crystal phase and fixed nitrogen content.
[0010] Furthermore, in step (1), the mixed powder is added to the mixed solution and stirred thoroughly, and the solid content and viscosity of the mixed slurry are controlled during the stirring process.
[0011] Furthermore, the mixed slurry has a solid content of 40%-50% and a viscosity of 400-1500 cp.
[0012] Furthermore, in the step (2), during the grinding process of the mixed slurry, it is necessary to control the solid content of the precursor slurry to be 40%-50%, the viscosity to be 400-1500cp, the particle size D50 to be 1-1.2μm, and D90 to be less than 3μm.
[0013] In step (1) and step (2), the solid content and viscosity of the mixed slurry and the precursor slurry need to be controlled. Since the solid content affects the grinding effect, the solid content and viscosity are tested multiple times and fine-tuned by adding a small amount of anhydrous ethanol to ensure smooth grinding. The purpose of testing the viscosity is to ensure the smooth progress of spray drying and reduce the energy consumption of the spraying process. The lower the viscosity, the better.
[0014] Furthermore, in step (3), the particle size of the spray-dried powder is D50>40 μm.
[0015] Furthermore, in the calcination step, the calcination temperature is 1200-1280° C., the holding time is 2-4 hours, and the volume ratio of nitrogen atmosphere to air is nitrogen:air>1:1. The nitrogen atmosphere has the function of preventing the diffusion of internal nitrogen sources and anti-oxidation.
[0016] Furthermore, the mixed powder comprises the following raw materials in parts by mass: 55-95 parts of the aluminum source; 2-8 parts of the lithium source; 5-20 parts of the sodium source; and 1-20 parts of the nitrogen source.
[0017] Furthermore, the aluminum source powder is a calcined product of γ-alumina or pseudo-boehmite; The lithium source powder is any one of lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide monohydrate or lithium acetate; The sodium source powder is any one of sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate or sodium acetate; The nitrogen source powder is any one of AlON, aluminum nitride or magnesium nitride.
[0018] Furthermore, the dispersant is polyacrylamide, and the amount of the dispersant added accounts for 1%-3% of the mixed powder.
[0019] The second object of the present invention is implemented by the following technical solution: N-doped β"-AlON solid electrolyte powder is prepared by the above-mentioned preparation method of N-doped β"-AlON solid electrolyte powder.
[0020] The advantages of the present invention are: using special N source raw materials, by introducing N atoms into the β"-alumina lattice, N atoms are inserted to form β"-AlON with better performance. Figure 1 In the preparation process, the mixed slurry is ground by wet grinding to a particle size of 1-1.2μm (D50) and D90 <3μm, and then spray-dried and granulated to a particle size of D50 >40μm. This ensures that the powder is evenly filled into the sagger during the calcination process, thereby obtaining β"-AlON with a stable crystal phase and fixed nitrogen content. This avoids under- and over-burning caused by uneven filling, ensuring product stability and consistency.
[0021] The β"-AlON of this scheme is formed by inserting a part of N into β"-alumina to form a negative trivalent N 3- Replacement part O 2- The solid solution has excellent structural and functional properties. On the one hand, the Al-N bond has a higher strength than the Al-O bond, making the β"-AlON electrolyte stronger than β"-alumina, with a strength of more than 280. This improves the battery's ability to resist external impact during use, improves safety, extends the battery's service life, and reduces its cost. On the other hand, N 3- O 2- There is one more site for binding with Na+. One N atom replaces one oxygen atom, which increases the number of conductive sodium ions. This can increase the sodium ion content in the electrolyte and reduce the resistivity to below 2.33. β"-AlON has higher ionic conductivity, with the conductivity increased to above 0.429, which is conducive to improving the battery's high power output and continuous output capacity, and the charging speed will also be faster.

During the ball milling, add polymethacrylic acid as a dispersant to obtain a sodium precursor powder slurry. The ratio of the total mass of Na2CO3 and α-Al2O3 to the mass of deionized water is 1:1, and the ratio of the mass of polymethacrylic acid to the total mass of Na2CO3 and α-Al2O3 is 0.001. (2) Preparation of lithium precursor powder: Li2CO3 and α-Al2O3 are weighed and mixed in a Li2O / Al2O3 mass ratio of 1:4.

Figure 2 As shown, from the comparison of the diffraction patterns of the samples, it can be seen that the first diffraction peak of β"-AlON at 8°-9° and the second diffraction peak at 15°-16° are right-biased. From the diffraction data, it can be seen that these two peaks correspond to the (003) and (006) crystal planes. Under the condition of N doping, the C axis of the β"-alumina lattice is elongated, and the corresponding crystal plane diffraction angle becomes larger and then right-biased, proving that N is effectively inserted into β"-alumina and causes changes in the lattice parameters.
