[0003] This application relates to the field of battery technology, and in particular to a sodium-ion battery cell, a battery device, and an electrical device. Background Technology
[0004] In recent years, with the gradual development and application of lithium-ion batteries from portable electronic devices to high-power electric vehicles, large-scale energy storage power stations, and smart grids, the demand for metallic lithium has been increasing across various industries. However, with the depletion of metallic lithium reserves and the increasing difficulty of mining, current metallic lithium resources can no longer meet the needs of the lithium battery industry. Sodium, which belongs to the same group as lithium, has similar chemical properties to lithium and is abundant. Therefore, sodium-ion batteries, which operate on a similar principle to lithium-ion batteries, are currently being developed, with the expectation that they will serve as an important supplement to lithium-ion batteries in large-scale energy storage applications.
[0005] Sodium batteries have better low-temperature discharge performance. However, how to improve the rate performance of sodium batteries is a problem that urgently needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This application is made in view of the above-mentioned issues, and its purpose is to provide a sodium-ion battery cell, battery device and power supply device with better rate performance.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a sodium-ion battery cell, a battery device, and an electrical device.
[0008] The first aspect of this application provides a sodium-ion battery cell, including an electrolyte, a negative electrode, and a positive electrode; wherein the conductivity C of the electrolyte at 25±1℃ satisfies: 7mS / cm≤C≤20mS / cm; the negative electrode includes a negative current collector and a negative electrode film layer, the thickness L of the negative electrode film layer on one side of the negative current collector satisfies: 140μm≤L≤250μm; the negative electrode film layer includes a carbon-based material, the carbon-based material including multiple graphite-like sheet layers and multiple pore structures; at least some of the graphite-like sheet layers form an interlayer spacing between two graphite-like sheet layers, the interlayer spacing satisfies the volume H1 of the space between 0.35nm-0.4nm and the total volume H of the space between the multiple graphite-like sheet layers satisfies: 20%≤H1 / H≤60%; the pore volume V1 of the pore structure with a pore size of 5nm-10nm in the carbon-based material, measured by nitrogen adsorption method, and the total pore volume V in the pore structure satisfy: 2%≤V1 / V≤15%.
[0009] In some implementations, H1 and H satisfy the following condition: 40% ≤ H1 / H ≤ 60%.
[0010] In this embodiment, the spatial proportion of graphite-like sheets with large interlayer spacing in the carbon-based material is within the aforementioned range, which can increase the extraction rate of sodium ions in the carbon-based material. Simultaneously, the pore volume proportion of larger-diameter pores in the carbon-based material is within the aforementioned range, which can shorten the diffusion path of sodium ions from the interior to the surface of the carbon-based material, thereby effectively extending the capacity plateau near the 0.1V cutoff voltage. This improves the effective capacity of the sodium-ion battery cell while also slowing down the rise in negative electrode potential. Furthermore, a thinner negative electrode film layer can also increase the transport rate of sodium ions in the negative electrode. In summary, this reduces the charge transfer impedance of the negative electrode. Further, an electrolyte with higher conductivity can increase the transport rate of sodium ions in the electrolyte at low temperatures. Combining the above technical solutions, sodium ions extracted from the carbon-based material can reach the positive electrode interface more quickly to participate in the reaction, resulting in better rate performance for the sodium-ion battery cell.
[0011] In some implementations, the volume H2 of the space with an interlayer spacing greater than 0.4 nm and the volume H of the total space formed by multiple graphite-like layers satisfy: 30% ≤ H2 / H ≤ 58%.
[0012] In the embodiments of this application, the spatial proportion of the graphite-like sheets with a large interlayer spacing in the carbon-based material is within the above-mentioned range, which can further increase the extraction rate of sodium ions in the carbon-based material, reduce the charge transfer resistance of the negative electrode sheet, and allow the sodium ions extracted from the carbon-based material to reach the positive electrode interface more quickly to participate in the reaction, thereby achieving better rate performance of the sodium-ion battery cell.
[0013] In some implementations, the volume H3 of the space where the interlayer spacing is less than 0.35 nm and the volume H of the total space formed by the multiple graphite-like layers satisfy: 0% ≤ H3 / H ≤ 22%.
[0014] In the embodiments of this application, graphite-like sheets with an interlayer spacing of less than 0.35 nm are difficult to store sodium due to their small space. However, these graphite-like sheets can provide slip, which is beneficial for improving the compaction density of the negative electrode. Therefore, by controlling the proportion of graphite-like sheets with a small interlayer spacing in the carbon-based material within the above-mentioned range, the compaction density of the negative electrode can be improved without significantly reducing the extraction rate of sodium ions in the carbon-based material.
[0015] In some implementations, V1 and V satisfy: 8% ≤ V1 / V ≤ 15%.
[0016] In some embodiments, the pore volume V2 of the carbon-based material with a pore size of less than or equal to 2 nm, as measured by nitrogen adsorption, and the total pore volume V in the pore structure satisfy: 4.5% ≤ V2 / V ≤ 30%.
[0017] In some implementations, 10% ≤ V2 / V ≤ 18%.
[0018] In the embodiments of this application, the proportion of the pore volume of the micropores in the total pore volume is within the above-mentioned range, which is beneficial to improving the capacity of the sodium-ion battery.
[0019] In some embodiments, the pore volume V3 of the pore structure with a pore size of 1nm-2nm in the carbon-based material, as measured by nitrogen adsorption, and the total pore volume V in the pore structure satisfy the following condition: 5%≤V3 / V≤15%.
[0020] In the embodiments of this application, in the pore structure design of carbon-based materials, pores with a diameter less than 1 nm have poor ion intercalation capability, affecting the fast-charging performance of sodium-ion battery cells. A proportion of pores with a diameter between 1 nm and 2 nm within this range can balance the fast-charging performance of sodium-ion battery cells.
[0021] In some embodiments, the pore volume V4 of the pore structure with a pore size greater than 2 nm and less than 5 nm in the carbon-based material, as measured by nitrogen adsorption, satisfies the following condition: 3.5% ≤ V4 / V ≤ 30%.
[0022] In the embodiments of this application, in the pore structure design of the carbon-based material, pores with a diameter greater than 2 nm and less than 5 nm have better ion-intercalation capabilities, which is beneficial to the fast-charging performance of sodium-ion battery cells. Therefore, the proportion of pores with a diameter greater than 2 nm and less than 5 nm within the above range can take into account the fast-charging performance of sodium-ion battery cells.
[0023] In some embodiments, the carbon-based material contains pores with a pore size in the range of 1.0 nm to 1.5 nm, as determined by nitrogen adsorption. The maximum value of the derivative of the cumulative pore volume V0 with respect to the logarithm of the pore size D, dV0 / d(logD), is between 0.001 cm3 / (g·log(nm)) and 0.009 cm3 / (g·log(nm)).
[0024] In the embodiments of this application, the carbon-based material has an optimized pore structure. Specifically, the characteristic dV0 / d(logD) of the pores with a diameter of 1.0nm-1.5nm corresponds to the pore volume contributed by its unit pore diameter, and its maximum value is in the range of 0.001cm3 / (g·log(nm))-0.009cm3 / (g·log(nm)), which is beneficial to reduce gas generation and bubbling during the pulping process.
[0025] In some embodiments, the maximum value of dV0 / d(logD) for pores with a diameter of 1.0 nm to 1.5 nm in the carbon-based material is 0.001 cm. 3 / (g·log(nm))-0.006cm 3 / (g·log(nm)), which is more conducive to reducing gas generation and bubbling during the pulping process.
[0026] In some embodiments, the powder compaction density T of the negative electrode sheet at 2T satisfies: 0.8 g / cm³ 3 ≤T≤1.0g / cm 3 .
[0027] In the embodiments of this application, when the energy density is satisfied and the powder compaction is controlled within the above range, the electrode can have a higher porosity, which increases the contact area between the negative electrode and the electrolyte. Sodium ions can migrate more smoothly through the pores to the surface of the negative electrode active material, reducing the migration resistance from the liquid phase to the solid phase, reducing the charge transfer impedance of the negative electrode, and improving the discharge power of the sodium-ion battery cell.
[0028] In some implementations, the film resistance R of the negative electrode plate satisfies: 60mΩ≤R≤170mΩ.
[0029] In the embodiments of this application, a suitable range of negative electrode film resistance can enable the negative electrode to have higher conductivity and reduce the charge transfer impedance of the negative electrode.
[0030] In some implementations, the negative electrode film layer also includes carbon nanotubes.
[0031] In the embodiments of this application, carbon nanotubes in the negative electrode film can improve electron conduction efficiency, optimize ion diffusion dynamics, reduce charge transfer impedance of the negative electrode sheet, and increase the discharge power of a sodium-ion battery cell by constructing a three-dimensional conductive network.

[0060] Specifically, the term "volume of space" refers to the size of the space formed between adjacent graphite sheets.
[0061] In recent years, with the gradual development and application of lithium-ion batteries from portable electronic devices to high-power electric vehicles, large-scale energy storage power stations, and smart grids, the demand for metallic lithium has been increasing across various industries. However, with the depletion of metallic lithium reserves and the increasing difficulty of mining, current metallic lithium resources can no longer meet the needs of the lithium battery industry. Sodium, which belongs to the same group as lithium, has similar chemical properties to lithium and is abundant. Therefore, sodium-ion batteries, which operate on a similar principle to lithium-ion batteries, are currently being developed, with the expectation that they will serve as an important supplement to lithium-ion batteries in large-scale energy storage applications.
[0062] During their research on the performance of sodium-ion batteries, the applicant discovered that sodium batteries exhibit better low-temperature discharge performance. However, in high-power discharge scenarios, sodium batteries sometimes perform poorly, limiting their use in these situations. One manifestation of this is that sodium batteries cannot output high power when they retain a certain amount of charge, especially after repeated discharges, making it difficult to start the power supply and requiring frequent charging to meet user needs, resulting in a poor user experience. One reason for this phenomenon is that the negative electrode potential may rise rapidly during high-power output, thus reducing the voltage difference between the positive and negative electrodes of the sodium battery, leading to discharge cutoff. Ultimately, this manifests macroscopically as the sodium battery having charge but being unable to output a large current. Furthermore, after a period of use, sodium batteries also fail to discharge at the preset rate, with performance declining sharply, affecting normal use.
[0063] The applicant recognized that the main bottleneck restricting the high-power performance of sodium batteries lies in the excessive charge transfer impedance of the negative electrode. Simultaneously, the applicant also discovered that the electrolyte liquid-phase diffusion impedance also affects the high-power discharge of sodium batteries. While the bottleneck for sustained high-current discharge in sodium batteries is primarily the charge transfer impedance on the surface of the negative electrode active material in the short term, the diffusion impedance has a significant impact during long-term discharge. This is because the liquid-phase diffusion impedance accumulates during the discharge process, further exacerbating polarization within the battery and affecting the discharge power of the sodium-ion battery. Simply reducing the charge transfer impedance of the negative electrode without increasing the migration rate of sodium ions in the electrolyte will not achieve instantaneous high-current discharge in sodium batteries. In summary, the bottleneck to achieving high-rate discharge performance in sodium batteries lies in simultaneously reducing the electron transfer impedance on the negative electrode surface and the liquid-phase diffusion impedance; only by solving these bottlenecks can high-current discharge be achieved.
[0064] In view of this, embodiments of this application provide a sodium-ion battery cell, including an electrolyte, a negative electrode, and a positive electrode; wherein, the conductivity C of the electrolyte at 25±1℃ satisfies: 7mS / cm≤C≤20mS / cm; the negative electrode includes a negative current collector and a negative electrode film, the thickness L of the negative electrode film on one side of the negative current collector satisfies: 140μm≤L≤250μm; the negative electrode film includes a carbon-based material, the carbon-based material including multiple graphite-like sheet layers and multiple pore structures; at least some of the graphite-like sheet layers form an interlayer spacing between two graphite-like sheet layers, the interlayer spacing satisfies the following: the volume H1 of the space of 0.35nm-0.4nm and the volume H of the total space formed by the multiple graphite-like sheet layers satisfy: 20%≤H1 / H≤60%; the pore volume V1 of the pore structure with a pore size of 5nm-10nm in the carbon-based material, measured by nitrogen adsorption method, and the total pore volume V in the pore structure satisfy: 8%≤V1 / V≤15%. The sodium-ion battery cell provided in this application embodiment can have better rate performance.
[0065] The applicant discovered that the selection of the negative electrode material significantly affects the surface reaction polarization process of the negative electrode. Improving the surface reaction polarization can smooth the potential rise during negative electrode discharge, maintaining a sufficient voltage difference between the positive and negative electrodes and preventing the voltage from dropping to the cutoff voltage, thus preventing discharge. The applicant also discovered that the microstructure of the negative electrode material significantly affects the surface reaction polarization process of the negative electrode.
[0066] Currently, the mainstream anode material used in sodium batteries is carbon-based material. During the anode selection process, the applicant discovered that increasing the spatial volume ratio of large-interlayer graphite-like layers and reducing macropores in carbon-based materials can improve the surface reaction polarization process of the anode.
[0067] In the interlayer structure design of carbon-based materials, the interlayer spacing between graphene-like sheets affects the overall extraction rate of sodium ions. When the interlayer spacing of graphene-like sheets is larger, the volume of space between layers is greater, making it easier for sodium ions to extract from the carbon-based material. Simultaneously, in the pore structure design of carbon-based materials, the pore size affects the transport path of sodium ions from the interior to the surface. Pores with a diameter of 5nm-10nm (also known as mesopores) have fewer active sites, but larger pores often connect to micropores and pinholes, which have more active sites. Therefore, ions typically migrate to sites with active sites through macropores. Therefore, reducing the proportion of 5nm-10nm pores can effectively shorten the transport path of sodium ions from the interior to the surface of carbon-based materials, facilitating sodium ion extraction. The specific mechanism is speculated to be: hard carbon contains graphene domains (ordered graphene sheets), and different sizes of open or closed pores are formed by the winding of graphene sheets. In hard carbon materials, the capacity is primarily provided by micropores (<2 nm) through surface adsorption and micropore filling (accounting for approximately 60%-80%). Larger mesopores (2-8 nm) are less likely to form stable electrochemical storage sites, and therefore these larger pores often inevitably connect to micropores and small pores. Consequently, ions need to migrate through the macroporous structure to reach active sites. Therefore, controlling the volume fraction of macropores shortens the migration path of ions from the material's interior to the surface, allowing for faster ion extraction. Furthermore, increasing the spatial proportion of larger interlayer spacing can further facilitate rapid ion extraction from the material's interior.
[0068] In summary, by adjusting the interlayer spacing and pore design of the negative electrode material, the ability of ions to escape from the negative electrode can be improved, allowing more ions to escape and enter the electrolyte per unit time. At the same time, the electrolyte has a high ionic conductivity, and when combined with a negative electrode film of appropriate thickness, sodium ions that escape from the carbon-based material can reach the positive electrode interface more quickly to participate in the reaction, avoiding electron accumulation that causes polarization, reducing charge transfer impedance and liquid phase diffusion impedance, improving the battery polarization process, and increasing the battery power density.
[0069] The sodium-ion battery cell, battery module, battery, and power-consuming device of this application are described below with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0070] Typically, a sodium-ion battery cell includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, an electrolyte, and a separator. During charging and discharging, active ions move back and forth between the positive and negative electrodes, inserting and extracting. The electrolyte acts as a conductor between the positive and negative electrodes. The separator, positioned between the positive and negative electrodes, primarily prevents short circuits while allowing ions to pass through.
[0071] Sodium-ion battery cell
[0072] In one embodiment of this application, a sodium-ion battery cell 5 is proposed. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a sodium-ion battery cell according to one embodiment of this application. The sodium-ion battery cell 5 includes a negative electrode 51, a separator 52, a positive electrode 53, and an electrolyte. The conductivity C of the electrolyte at 25±1℃ satisfies: 7mS / cm≤C≤20mS / cm.
[0073] The conductivity C can be 7 mS / cm, 10 mS / cm, 15 mS / cm, 20 mS / cm or any value within the above range.
[0074] The negative electrode 51 includes a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode film layer, the negative electrode film layer being disposed on at least one side of the surface of the negative electrode current collector; the thickness L of the negative electrode film layer on one side of the negative electrode current collector satisfies: 140μm≤L≤250μm; the negative electrode film layer includes a carbon-based material, the carbon-based material including multiple graphite-like sheet layers and multiple pore structures; at least some of the graphite-like sheet layers form an interlayer spacing between two graphite-like sheet layers, the interlayer spacing satisfies the following: the volume H1 of the space of 0.35nm-0.4nm and the volume H of the total space formed by the multiple graphite-like sheet layers satisfy: 20%≤H1 / H≤60%; the pore volume V1 of the pore structure with a pore size of 5nm-10nm in the carbon-based material, measured by nitrogen adsorption method, and the total pore volume V in the pore structure satisfy: 2%≤V1 / V≤15%.
[0075] Optionally, 40% ≤ H1 / H ≤ 60%.
[0076] Optionally, 8% ≤ V1 / V ≤ 15%.
[0077] L can be 140μm, 150μm, 160μm, 170μm, 180μm, 190μm, 200μm, 210μm, 220μm, 230μm, 240μm, 250μm, or any value within the above range. H1 / H can be 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, or any value within the above range. V1 / V can be 2%, 6%, 8%, 10%, 14%, 15%, or any value within the above range.
[0078] Specifically, the negative electrode film layer is disposed on at least one side of the surface of the negative electrode current collector. As an example, the negative electrode current collector may have two surfaces opposite each other in its own thickness direction, and the negative electrode film layer is disposed on either or both of the two opposite surfaces of the negative electrode current collector.
[0079] In this embodiment, the spatial proportion of graphite-like sheets with large interlayer spacing in the carbon-based material is within the aforementioned range, which can increase the extraction rate of sodium ions in the carbon-based material. Simultaneously, the pore volume proportion of larger-diameter pores in the carbon-based material is within the aforementioned range, which can shorten the diffusion path of sodium ions from the interior to the surface of the carbon-based material, thereby effectively extending the plateau capacity near the cutoff voltage of 0.1V. This increases the effective capacity of the sodium-ion battery cell while also slowing down the rise of the negative electrode potential. Furthermore, a thinner negative electrode film layer can also increase the transport rate of sodium ions in the negative electrode. In summary, this reduces the charge transfer impedance of the negative electrode. Further, an electrolyte with higher conductivity can increase the transport rate of sodium ions in the electrolyte at low temperatures. Combining the above technical solutions, sodium ions extracted from the carbon-based material can reach the positive electrode interface more quickly to participate in the reaction, achieving better rate performance in the sodium-ion battery cell.
[0080] In some implementations, the volume H2 of the space with an interlayer spacing greater than 0.4 nm and the volume H of the total space formed by multiple graphite-like layers satisfy: 30% ≤ H2 / H ≤ 58%.
[0081] H2 / H can be 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 58%, or any value within the above range.
[0082] In the embodiments of this application, the spatial proportion of the graphite-like sheets with a large interlayer spacing in the carbon-based material is within the above-mentioned range, which can further increase the extraction rate of sodium ions in the carbon-based material, reduce the charge transfer resistance of the negative electrode sheet, and allow the sodium ions extracted from the carbon-based material to reach the positive electrode interface more quickly to participate in the reaction, thereby achieving better rate performance of the sodium-ion battery cell.
[0083] In some implementations, the volume H3 of the space where the interlayer spacing is less than 0.35 nm and the volume H of the total space formed by the multiple graphite-like layers satisfy: 0% ≤ H3 / H ≤ 22%.
[0084] H3 / H can be 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 22%, or any value within the above range.
[0085] In the embodiments of this application, graphite-like sheets with an interlayer spacing of less than 0.35 nm are difficult to store sodium due to their small space. However, these graphite-like sheets can provide slip, which is beneficial for improving the compaction density of the negative electrode. Therefore, by controlling the proportion of graphite-like sheets with a small interlayer spacing in the carbon-based material within the above-mentioned range, the compaction density of the negative electrode can be improved without significantly reducing the extraction rate of sodium ions in the carbon-based material.
[0086] In some embodiments, the pore volume V2 of the carbon-based material with a pore size of less than or equal to 2 nm, as measured by nitrogen adsorption, and the total pore volume V in the pore structure satisfy the following condition: 4.5% ≤ V2 / V ≤ 30%. Optionally, 10% ≤ V2 / V ≤ 18%.
[0087] V2 / V can be 4.5%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 18%, 20%, 25%, 30%, or any value within the above range.
[0088] In the embodiments of this application, the proportion of the pore volume of the micropores in the total pore volume is within the above-mentioned range, which is beneficial to improving the capacity of the sodium-ion battery.
[0089] In some embodiments, the pore volume V3 of the pore structure with a pore size of 1nm-2nm in the carbon-based material, as measured by nitrogen adsorption, and the total pore volume V in the pore structure satisfy the following condition: 5%≤V3 / V≤15%.
[0090] V3 / V can be 5%, 10%, 15%, or any value within the above range.
[0091] In the embodiments of this application, in the pore structure design of carbon-based materials, pores with a diameter less than 1 nm have poor ion intercalation capability, affecting the fast-charging performance of sodium-ion battery cells. A proportion of pores with a diameter between 1 nm and 2 nm within this range can balance the fast-charging performance of sodium-ion battery cells.
[0092] In some embodiments, the pore volume V4 of the pore structure with a pore size greater than 2 nm and less than 5 nm in the carbon-based material, as measured by nitrogen adsorption, satisfies the following condition: 3.5% ≤ V4 / V ≤ 30%.
[0093] V4 / V can be 3.5%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 24%, 25%, 30%, or any value within the above range.
[0094] In the embodiments of this application, in the pore structure design of the carbon-based material, pores with a diameter greater than 2 nm and less than 5 nm have better ion-intercalation capabilities, which is beneficial to the fast-charging performance of sodium-ion battery cells. Therefore, the proportion of pores with a diameter greater than 2 nm and less than 5 nm within the above range can take into account the fast-charging performance of sodium-ion battery cells.
[0095] This disclosure proposes that pores with a diameter of 1.0 nm to 1.5 nm have a significant impact on continuous gas production and bubbling. By controlling the pore size within this specific range, the maximum value of the derivative of the cumulative pore volume V0 with respect to the logarithm of the pore diameter D, dV0 / d(logD), can be achieved within 0.001 cm⁻¹. 3 / (g·log(nm))-0.009cm 3 The value of / (g·log(nm)) can significantly reduce continuous bubbling. Studies have found that larger pore sizes (pores larger than 1.5 nm) have less impact on processability, presumably because the bubbling duration caused by these pores is shorter. Smaller pore sizes (pores smaller than 1.0 nm) may have limited impact on processability due to their smaller gas storage capacity. However, by limiting the maximum value of the volume contribution change rate (dV0 / d(logD)) for pores with diameters between 1.0 nm and 1.5 nm to within the aforementioned range, gas generation and bubbling during pulping can be effectively reduced, while also considering the sodium storage effect of this type of pore size.
[0096] For example, the maximum value of dV0 / d(logD) for a pore with a diameter of 1.0 nm to 1.5 nm is 0.001 cm. 3 / (g·log(nm)), 0.002cm 3 / (g·log(nm)), 0.003cm 3 / (g·log(nm)), 0.004cm 3 / (g·log(nm)), 0.005cm 3 / (g·log(nm)), 0.006cm 3 / (g·log(nm)), 0.007cm 3 / (g·log(nm)), 0.008cm 3 / (g·log(nm)), 0.009cm 3 / (g·log(nm)) can be any value between any two of these values.
[0097] The dV0 / d(logD) mentioned in this disclosure reflects the pore volume contributed per unit pore size. This value can be obtained by measuring carbon-based materials using conventional methods in the art. For example, it can be determined using a surface area analyzer-static volumetric method. Specifically, according to embodiments of this disclosure, a flow-type gas adsorption surface area measuring device (device model Micromeritics ASAP-2460) can be used to measure the adsorption and desorption isotherms of nitrogen adsorption, and a DFT model can be used to fit the distribution curve of dV0 / d(logD) relative to the pore size D, with the maximum value read in the pore size range of 1.0-1.5 nm. The carbon-based material can be a carbon-based material used as a raw material, or it can be a carbon-based material obtained from the disassembly and separation of sodium-ion batteries.
[0098] In some embodiments, the maximum value of dV0 / d(logD) for pores with a diameter of 1.0 nm to 1.5 nm in the carbon-based material is 0.001 cm. 3 / (g·log(nm))-0.006cm 3 / (g·log(nm)), which is more conducive to reducing gas generation and bubbling during the pulping process.
[0099] In some embodiments, the carbon-based material has pores with a diameter of 1.0 nm to 1.5 nm and a pore volume of 0.0003 cm³. 3 / g-0.0017cm 3 / g. This is more conducive to reducing gas generation during pulping while also considering specific volume. For example, the pore volume of pores with a pore size of 1.0nm-1.5nm is 0.0003cm³. 3 / g, 0.0005cm 3 / g, 0.0007cm 3 / g, 0.0009cm 3 / g, 0.0011cm 3 / g, 0.0013cm 3 / g, 0.0015cm 3 / g, 0.0017cm 3 / g or a value within a range of any two of these values. Optionally, the total pore volume of pores with a diameter of 1.0 nm to 1.5 nm is 0.0009 cm³. 3 / g-0.0014cm 3 / g.
[0100] The pore volume of the aforementioned 1.0 nm-1.5 nm pores was also obtained by measuring carbon-based materials using conventional methods in the field, such as the N2 adsorption-desorption pore volume and pore size test method. For example, referring to GB / T 19587-2017, the N2 adsorption method can be used to test adsorption and desorption isotherms, and a DFT model can be used to fit the distribution curve of cumulative pore volume relative to pore size, thus obtaining the pore volume of pores in the specific pore size range of 1.0 nm-1.5 nm.
[0101] In some embodiments, the powder compaction density T of the negative electrode sheet 51 at 2T satisfies: 0.8 g / cm³ 3 ≤T≤1.0g / cm 3 .
[0102] T can be 0.8 g / cm³ 3 0.9g / cm 3 1g / cm 3 Or any value within the above range.
[0103] In the embodiments of this application, when the negative electrode sheet has a low powder compaction density, under the condition of satisfying the energy density, when the powder compaction is controlled within the above range, the electrode sheet can have a high porosity, increase the contact area between the negative electrode sheet and the electrolyte, and sodium ions can migrate more smoothly through the pores to the surface of the negative electrode active material, reduce the migration resistance from the liquid phase to the solid phase, reduce the charge transfer impedance of the negative electrode sheet, and improve the discharge power of the sodium-ion battery cell.
[0104] In some implementations, the film resistance R of the negative electrode 51 satisfies: 60mΩ≤R≤170mΩ.
[0105] R can be 60mΩ, 80mΩ, 100mΩ, 120mΩ, 140mΩ, 160mΩ, 170mΩ or any value within the above range.

[0128] Specifically, the XRD diffraction pattern of the carbon-based material was first tested using the following method: The XRD diffraction pattern of the carbon-based material can be tested using an X-ray diffractometer according to JIS K 0131-1996. The test conditions were as follows: the carbon-based material and silicon powder were uniformly mixed at a mass ratio of 5:1, and the sample was prepared using the plate sample preparation method. CuKα rays were used as the radiation source, and a copper target was used as the anode target.

[0179] Example 1
[0180] (1) Preparation of negative electrode sheet
[0181] I. Preparation of negative electrode active materials
[0182] ① The pre-carbonization and doping steps involve placing the biomass carbon precursor coconut shell in a box furnace and heating it to 600°C at a heating rate of 5°C / min for 3 hours under the condition of introducing carrier gas nitrogen and doping gas oxygen. The volume ratio of oxygen to nitrogen is 0.05:1. The flow rate of the nitrogen and oxygen mixture is 10 mL / min.
[0183] ② Carbonization step: Under nitrogen gas, heat to 1200℃ and hold for 2 hours, then cool to room temperature;
[0184] ③ The sample obtained from the above carbonization step is subjected to crushing, grading, sieving, and demagnetization to finally obtain the hard carbon anode active material. The water content W of the hard carbon anode active material is controlled to be 0.08% ≤ W ≤ 0.1%, and the Dv10 of the hard carbon anode active material is controlled to be 1 μm ≤ Dv10 ≤ 2 μm.
[0185] II. Preparation of the negative electrode sheet
[0186] The prepared negative electrode active material, carboxymethyl cellulose binder, styrene-butadiene rubber binder, and carbon black conductive agent were mixed and homogenized in a weight ratio of 94.5:1.5:2.5:1.5 to obtain a negative electrode film slurry. The negative electrode active material slurry was coated onto the negative electrode current collector and then dried in an oven at 100°C, controlling the water content to be less than 150 ppm, to obtain the negative electrode sheet. The water content W0 of the negative electrode sheet was controlled to satisfy: 0 ≤ W0 ≤ 0.15%. The thickness of the negative electrode film on one side of the negative electrode current collector was 144 μm.
[0187] (2) Preparation of positive electrode sheet
[0188] The positive electrode active material sodium iron pyrophosphate (Na4Fe3(PO4)2P2O7), the binder polyvinylidene fluoride, and the conductive agent SP were mixed in a weight ratio of 95:2.5:2.5 and dissolved in the solvent N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) to prepare a positive electrode slurry. The positive electrode slurry was then uniformly coated onto the current collector aluminum foil, and after being fully dried, it was cold-pressed, die-cut, and slit to obtain the positive electrode sheet.
[0189] (3) Separating membrane
[0190] PE porous polymer film is used as the separator.
[0191] (4) Electrolyte
[0192] Ethylene carbonate (EC) and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) were mixed at a volume ratio of 1:1 to obtain an organic solvent. NaPF6 was then dissolved in the organic solvent to prepare an electrolyte with a concentration of 1.4 mol / L and a conductivity of 14.35 mS / cm.
[0193] (5) Preparation of battery cells
[0194] The positive electrode, separator, and negative electrode are arranged in the order of "separator—negative electrode—separator—positive electrode," so that the separator acts as a barrier between the positive and negative electrodes. One end of the positive electrode, negative electrode, and two separators is fixed to the discharge roller, and the other end is stacked together and fixed to the winding shaft. A motor is used to rotate the winding shaft to wind the positive electrode, negative electrode, and two separators. After baking, electrolyte injection, and formation, a single battery cell is obtained.
[0195] Example 2
[0196] The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that the final carbonization temperature in the material preparation process is 1300℃, and the thickness of the negative electrode film layer on one side of the negative electrode current collector is 140μm-250μm.
[0197] Example 3
[0198] The difference between Example 3 and Example 1 is that the final carbonization temperature in the material preparation process is 1100℃, the heating rate is 3℃ / min, and the thickness of the negative electrode film on one side of the negative electrode current collector is 140μm-250μm.
[0199] Comparative Example 1
[0200] The difference between Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 is that the final carbonization temperature in the material preparation process is different. In Comparative Example 1, it is further increased to 1400℃ and the holding time is 3h.
[0201] The specific parameters of the battery cells in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1 are shown in Table 1 below.
[0202] Table 1: Specific parameters of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1
[0203]
[0204] In addition, the battery cells in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1 were subjected to performance tests. The test results are shown in Table 2 below.
[0205] Table 2: Performance test results of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1
[0206]
[0207] Combined with Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1, compared to Comparative Example 1, when the spatial proportion of interlayer spacing and the proportion of pores with specific diameters in Examples 1-3 are within the above range, and the electrolyte is a high-conductivity electrolyte, the sodium-ion battery cell still has a higher capacity retention rate after completing the constant current charge-discharge test at a charge rate of 3C, thus proving that the sodium-ion battery cell has better rate performance.
[0208] Examples 4-7 and Comparative Example 2
[0209] The difference between Examples 4-7 and Comparative Example 2 and Example 1 is that different electrolytes with different conductivity were used to prepare sodium-ion battery cells.
[0210] The specific parameters of the battery cells in Examples 4-7 and Comparative Example 2 are shown in Table 3 below.
[0211] Table 3: Specific parameters of Examples 4-7 and Comparative Example 2
[0212]
[0213] In addition, the battery cells in Examples 4-7 and Comparative Example 2 were subjected to performance tests. The test results are shown in Table 4 below.
[0214] Table 4: Performance test results of Examples 4-7 and Comparative Example 2
[0215]
[0216] As shown in Examples 4-7 and Comparative Example 2, when the electrolyte conductivity is within the above range, the sodium-ion battery cell has better low-temperature low-charge discharge voltage, higher cycle capacity retention, and higher storage capacity retention.
[0217] Example 8
[0218] (1) Preparation of hard carbon anode active material with biomass material as carbon source
[0219] ① Pre-carbonization: Using lignin as raw material, it is treated at 400℃ for 2 hours in a hot press furnace (Dingli Technology, VHP-777) under normal pressure and N2 atmosphere to obtain pre-carbonized product.
[0220] ② Crushing; The pre-carbonized product obtained in step ① above is subjected to air jet milling (Shengxing Environmental Protection: SX1210) to obtain products with Dv10 of 2μm, Dv50 of 5μm and Dv90 of 12μm.
[0221] ③ Deashing: The product crushed in step ② above is soaked in a pickling kettle with 2M hydrochloric acid aqueous solution for 10 hours at room temperature, filtered, washed with water 3 times, and then dried in a continuous kiln at 100℃.
[0222] ④ Pre-pressing: The product obtained in step ③ above is pressurized in a hot press furnace (manufacturer: Dingli Technology, model: VHP-777) at a pressure of 50T for 1 hour.
[0223] ⑤ Carbonization; The product obtained in step ④ above is sintered for 2 hours at 1400℃ for a normal pressure under N2 atmosphere and at a heating rate of 2℃ / min. It is then washed with water 3 times and dried at 100℃ in a continuous kiln to obtain hard carbon anode active material.
[0224] (2) Preparation of negative electrode slurry
[0225] The hard carbon negative electrode active material, conductive agent and dispersant prepared above were dispersed in deionized water in a ratio of 8:1:1 to form a uniform negative electrode slurry, wherein the dispersant was sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and the conductive agent was conductive carbon black.
[0226] (3) Preparation of negative electrode sheet
[0227] The uniformly stirred negative electrode slurry is coated onto both sides of the Al foil using a double-sided coating machine. After double-sided coating is completed, the negative electrode sheet is prepared by vacuum drying at 80°C, cold pressing, slitting, and sheet forming.
[0228] (4) Preparation of secondary batteries
[0229] The prepared negative electrode sheet was used for battery assembly in a glove box. The sodium metal sheet was used as the counter electrode. The electrolyte was a solvent in which NaPF6 was dissolved in EC:DMC (volume ratio) = 1:1, and 10 v / v% FEC was added.
[0230] The positive electrode, separator, and negative electrode are stacked in sequence, and the electrolyte is added. After processes such as encapsulation, standing, formation, and aging, a button cell is made.
[0231] Example 9
[0232] Hard carbon anode active materials were prepared using a method similar to that in Example 8, except that the high-temperature carbonization temperature was 1000°C during the preparation of the hard carbon anode active materials.
[0233] Gas adsorption test
[0234] The time it took for the hard carbon anode active material prepared in the above embodiments to stop bubbling was observed during the preparation of the anode slurry. Record the instances where bubbling continued for 2 hours after mixing the components of the anode slurry.
[0235] For the hard carbon anode active materials of Examples 8 and 9 above, adsorption and desorption isotherms were tested using nitrogen and carbon dioxide adsorption methods, respectively, in accordance with GB / T 19587-2017. Both nitrogen and carbon dioxide adsorption methods were analyzed using a specific surface area and porosity analyzer (Micromeritics ASAP-2460, USA). The specific surface area of the hard carbon anode active material was calculated using the BET (Brunauer Emmett Teller) method based on the adsorption and desorption isotherms measured by the nitrogen adsorption method. The distribution curve of dV0 / d(logD) relative to the pore size D was fitted using a DFT model, and the maximum value was read within the pore size range of 1.0 nm to 1.5 nm. Simultaneously, the distribution curve of the cumulative pore volume relative to the pore size was fitted to obtain the pore volume for specific pore size ranges (1.0 nm-1.5 nm and 1 nm-2 nm). The adsorption and desorption isotherms measured by the carbon dioxide adsorption method were used to fit the cumulative pore volume distribution curve relative to the pore size using a DFT model, and the pore volume of pores with a pore size range of less than 1 nm was obtained. The test results of the hard carbon anode active materials prepared in Examples 8 and 9 are shown in Table 5 below. Figure 7 and Figure 8 The graphs show the dV0 / d(logD) versus pore size within a specific range for the hard carbon anode active materials prepared in Examples 8 and 9, respectively, based on nitrogen adsorption. See also... Figure 7 The hard carbon anode active material prepared in Example 8 of this application has a maximum dV0 / d(logD) value of 0.006 cm in the pore size range of 1.0 nm to 1.5 nm. 3 / (g·log(nm)). See also Figure 8 The maximum value of dV0 / d(logD) of the hard carbon anode active material prepared in Example 9 of this application is 0.013 cm in the pore size range of 1.0 nm to 1.5 nm. 3 / (g·log(nm)). It can be seen that the dV0 / d(logD) of the hard carbon in Examples 8 and 9 with pore sizes of 1.0nm-1.5nm are significantly different.
[0236] Testing of bubbling during the preparation of negative electrode slurry
[0237] 50g of the hard carbon anode active material prepared in Examples 8 and 9 were added to sealed reaction vessels equipped with temperature and pressure sensors. After adding 200ml of water, the reaction vessels were quickly closed, and stirring was started until the temperature and pressure remained constant. The volume of gas emitted per unit mass of hard carbon was calculated based on the pressure change and the ideal gas equation, serving as a measure of the bubbling amount. The test results for the hard carbon anode active materials prepared in Examples 8 and 9 are shown in Table 6 below.
[0238] Specific capacity testing of hard carbon anode active materials
[0239] For the coin cells prepared in Examples 8 and 9, the capacity obtained by inserting sodium at a rate of 0.05C to 0V is the initial charge capacity; the capacity obtained by desodiuming at a rate of 0.1C to 2.5V is the initial discharge capacity. The mass of the hard carbon anode active material in the anode electrode was calculated based on the coating weight and area of the slurry during the electrode preparation process. The total sodium storage capacity Q = initial charge capacity / mass of hard carbon anode active material. The test results of the hard carbon anode active materials prepared in Examples 8 and 9 are shown in Table 6 below.
[0240] Table 5 shows the pore characteristics and interlayer spacing characteristics of the hard carbon anode active materials prepared in Examples 8 and 9, and Table 6 shows the bubbling amount and specific capacity test results of the hard carbon anode active materials prepared in Examples 8 and 9.
[0241] Table 5: Specific parameters of Examples 8-9
[0242]
[0243] Table 6: Performance test results of Examples 8-9
[0244]
[0245] As can be seen from Tables 5 and 6, when the maximum value of dV0 / d(logD) is 0.006cm3 / (g·log(nm)), continuous bubbling can be effectively reduced.
[0246] [Testing methods for individual battery cell parameters]
[0247] The battery cells being tested can be newly assembled and unformed, or they can be battery cells removed from electrical devices (such as vehicles).
[0248] (1) Testing of rate performance of individual battery cells
[0249] At 25℃, the battery is charged at a constant current of 1 / 3C to 3.65V, then charged at a constant voltage of 3.65V to a current of 0.05C, left to rest for 5 minutes, and then discharged at 1 / 3C to 2V. The average capacity obtained after three cycles is recorded as the initial capacity D0. Then, the battery is charged under the same conditions and discharged at 3C, and the average capacity obtained after three cycles is recorded as the initial capacity D1. The capacity retention rate Q1 of the battery during rate discharge is calculated using the following formula: Qn = (D1 / D0) × 100%.
[0250] (2) Testing of low-capacity, high-rate discharge voltage of individual battery cells
[0251] At -10℃, a single battery cell with 50% SOC was discharged at a rate of 16.7C for 10 seconds, and then the voltage of the single battery cell was measured.
[0252] (3) Test of battery cell capacity retention at 25°C
[0253] At 25℃, the prepared battery was charged at a constant current of 0.5C to the upper limit cutoff voltage of 4.4V, then charged at a constant voltage of 4.4V until the current ≤0.05C, rested for 5 minutes, and then discharged at 0.5C to 2.5V. The resulting capacity was recorded as the initial capacity C0. The above steps were repeated for the same battery, and the discharge capacity Cn of the battery after the nth cycle was recorded. The battery capacity retention rate after each cycle was Pn = Cn / C0 × 100%. A curve was obtained by plotting the battery capacity retention rate on the ordinate and the corresponding number of cycles on the abscissa.
[0254] (4) Testing of the high-temperature storage performance of individual battery cells at 60℃
[0255] ① Charge the prepared battery cells at a constant current of 1 / 3C to 4.4V, then charge them at a constant voltage of 4.4V until the current is ≤0.05C. Let them rest for 5 minutes, then discharge them at 1 / 3C to 2.5V. Repeat this process twice and record the discharge capacity D0 of the second discharge. ② Charge the battery cells at a constant current of 1 / 3C to 4.4V, then charge them at a constant voltage of 4.4V until the current is ≤0.05C. Store them in a constant temperature environment at 60℃ for a specified number of days. ③ Discharge them at 1 / 3C to 2.5V, let them rest for 5 minutes, then charge them at a constant voltage of 4.4V until the current is ≤0.05C. Let them rest for 5 minutes, then discharge them at 1 / 3C to 2.5V. Record the capacity as Dn. Divide Dn by D0 to get the cell degradation level on the nth day of high-temperature storage. ④ Repeat processes ② and ③ until the cell storage life degradation is recorded.
