Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sodium-ion battery technology, specifically to a metal phosphide-coated sodium manganese phosphate ferric phosphate cathode material and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Sodium-ion batteries, with their abundant sodium resources and low raw material costs, are widely regarded as an important supplement and alternative to lithium-ion batteries in next-generation large-scale energy storage systems. Among the many sodium-ion battery cathode materials, sodium manganese iron pyrophosphate has become one of the current hot research materials due to its high operating voltage (>3.2 V vs. Na⁺ / Na), stable three-dimensional framework structure, and environmental friendliness.

[0003] However, this material still faces multiple challenges in its actual industrialization and long-term application:

[0004] First, manganese ions (especially trivalent Mn³⁺) in the material trigger typical Jahn-Teller distortion during charging and discharging, causing local distortion of the octahedral structure, which not only accelerates the dissolution of manganese ions but also destroys the overall stability of the crystal.

[0005] Secondly, under high-voltage operating conditions, catalytic side reactions are prone to occur between the material surface and the organic electrolyte, leading to continuous thickening of the interfacial film, increased impedance, and irreversible capacity loss.

[0006] Among commonly used material modification strategies, carbon coating can improve electron conductivity to some extent, but its effect on suppressing Mn³⁺ dissolution and high-pressure interfacial side reactions is limited. Some studies have attempted to use metal oxides as protective layers, which can enhance interfacial chemical stability, but these coating layers themselves have poor sodium ion conductivity, often sacrificing the material's fast-charging performance and rate capacity while improving cycle stability.

This may be related to the Na+ content. 4.05 Mn 1.5 Fe 1.5 P4O 15The secondary sintering of @TiP provides additional energy and time, allowing atoms to continue diffusing and migrating, ultimately forming a more stable, ordered, and defect-free crystal structure. This structural optimization directly leads to improved electrochemical performance. Furthermore, Table 1 shows that at 10C, the capacity retention of this electrode is as high as 93.5% compared to 0.1C, significantly higher than the material in the comparative example. This is due to the secondary sintering process, which repairs crystal defects, promotes grain growth, reduces grain boundaries, improves crystal structure integrity, facilitates sodium ion diffusion, lowers diffusion barriers, and reduces grain boundary and electron scattering. This comprehensive improvement in solid-phase ion / electron transport dynamics allows the material to achieve efficient sodium ion insertion / extraction even at high rates, resulting in significantly enhanced rate performance. Finally, at 1C, after 1000, 2000, and 3000 cycles, the capacity retention of this electrode is 97.8%, 95.3%, and 92.6%, respectively, with less capacity decay than the comparative example. The performance improvement can be attributed to the multiple protective effects of the TiP coating: First, the coating effectively stabilizes the material's surface structure by suppressing Mn during cycling. 3+ The Jahn-Teller distortion fundamentally reduces the solubility tendency of manganese ions, preserving the structural integrity of the material. Secondly, as an inert interface layer, it significantly reduces parasitic reactions between active particles and the electrolyte (such as HF erosion and solvent oxidative decomposition), enhancing the chemical stability of the interface. It is this synergistic stabilizing effect of the bulk and interface that together endows the electrode with excellent long-cycle performance. Elemental analysis results of the battery's negative electrode show that Na... 4.05 Mn 1.5 Fe 1.5 P4O 15 After 3000 cycles, the manganese content of the TiP electrode was only 13 ppm, which is negligible and has little impact on the battery cycle performance. This indirectly proves that the presence of the TiP coating layer has a positive effect on Na+. 4.05 Mn 1.5 Fe 1.5 P4O 15 The core material provides good protection.

[0103] Application Example 2 Na 4.05 Mn 2.0 Fe 1.0 P4O 15 Synthesis and Electrochemical Properties of ZrP Materials

[0104] This embodiment involves Na 4.05 Mn 2.0 Fe 1.0 P4O 15 The preparation method of ZrP material includes the following steps:

[0105] S1. Preparation of precursor solution: According to Na... 4.05 Mn 2.0 Fe 1.0 P4O 15 The stoichiometric ratio in the molecular formula is as follows: sodium acetate, manganese sulfate, ferrous sulfate, phosphoric acid, and citric acid (added in an amount of 7 wt% of the total solid content of the solution) are dissolved in deionized water in a molar ratio of 4.05:2.0:1.0:4.0 to form a homogeneous solution.

[0106] S2. Drying of precursor powder: The above solution is spray-dried with an inlet air temperature of 320°C and an outlet air temperature of 110°C to achieve solid-liquid separation and obtain dry precursor powder.

[0107] S3. Single-step sintering: In a nitrogen atmosphere, the temperature is raised to 380℃ and held for 7 hours to remove water of crystallization and volatile atmosphere; then the temperature is raised to 620℃ and held for 10 hours to allow the material to fully nucleate and crystallize, yielding Na. 4.05 Mn 2.0 Fe 1.0 P4O 15 Core materials;

[0108] S4, Surface Coating: Coating the core Na... 4.05 Mn 2.0 Fe 1.0 P4O 15 Materials, zirconium acetate, and phosphoric acid are mixed with water, wherein the molar ratio of zirconium acetate to phosphoric acid is 1:1, and the mass of the core Na is [missing information]. 4.05 Mn 2.0 Fe 1.0 P4O 15 1.0 wt% of the material weight is reacted under stirring to allow the metal phosphide to be uniformly adsorbed and deposited on the surface of the core material, forming a uniformly coated precursor material;

[0109] S5. Secondary calcination: Under a nitrogen atmosphere, the above precursor materials are calcined at 500°C to firmly adhere the amorphous metal phosphide coating layer to the core surface. Natural cooling yields Na. 4.05 Mn 2.0 Fe 1.0 P4O 15 @ZrP material.

[0110] Will Na 4.05 Mn 2.0 Fe 1.0 P4O 15 @ZrP materials, SurP PVDF5130 is produced in a mass ratio of 9.3:0.4:0.3. For example, NMP is added and mixed, and the above materials are mixed evenly using a high-speed homogenizer to form a black paste with uniform color and high fluidity. Material, ofThe black paste was then coated onto aluminum foil using a 150µm four-sided coating apparatus, and the membrane was dried in a vacuum drying oven at 100℃ for 2 hours. The electrode membrane was punched into a disc with a radius of 0.6mm using a punching machine. Sodium metal was used as the counter electrode, and 1mol / L NaClO4EC+DEC (1:1 vol%)+5% FEC was used as the electrolyte. The separator was a PP / PE / PP three-layer separator. The membrane was assembled into a CR2016 button cell in a glove box.

[0111] Table 1 shows the electrochemical performance test results for Na. 4.05 Mn 2.0 Fe 1.0 P4O 15 The @ZrP electrode achieved a discharge specific capacity of 126.9 mAh / g at 0.1C (1C = 129 mAh / g), slightly higher than the untreated comparative material. This improvement can be attributed to the introduction of a secondary sintering process, which provides atoms with additional energy and migration time, promoting a more complete and ordered crystal structure and significantly reducing defect density, thereby optimizing the intrinsic electrochemical activity of the material. Furthermore, the electrode exhibited excellent kinetic performance at a high rate of 10C, with a capacity retention (relative to 0.1C) of 94.2%, superior to the comparative example. This is mainly due to the effective repair of internal crystal defects, increased grain size, and reduced number of grain boundaries after secondary sintering. The improved structural integrity facilitates a smoother sodium ion diffusion path, lowers the migration barrier, and reduces electron transport resistance, jointly promoting a synergistic enhancement of ion and electron transport kinetics in the solid phase. Therefore, even at extremely high rates, efficient sodium ion insertion / extraction can still be achieved, resulting in a significant improvement in rate performance. Regarding long-term cycling stability, after 1000, 2000, and 3000 cycles at 1C, the capacity retention of this electrode was 97.0%, 94.5%, and 91.2%, respectively, with a significantly lower rate of decay compared to the comparative example. This superior performance is attributed to the multiple protective mechanisms of the ZrP coating: on the one hand, the coating effectively suppresses the Jahn-Teller distortion of Mn³⁺ during cycling, reducing the risk of manganese ion dissolution from the structural source and maintaining the integrity of the material bulk; on the other hand, as a stable inert interface layer, it significantly reduces side reactions between the active material and the electrolyte, improving interfacial chemical stability. This synergistic effect of "bulk modification" and "interfacial protection" jointly ensures the long-term cycle life of the electrode. Furthermore, elemental analysis of the negative electrode after cycling showed that Na… 4.05 Mn 2.0 Fe 1.0 P4O 15The manganese content in the negative electrode corresponding to the @ZrP electrode is only 24 ppm, which is negligible and far lower than that in the comparison sample. This data further confirms that the ZrP coating layer has a significant protective effect on the core material, effectively inhibiting the migration and deposition of manganese, thereby ensuring the cycle stability of the full cell.

[0112] Comparative Example 1 Na 4.05 Mn 1.5 Fe 1.5 P4O 15 Synthesis and electrochemical properties of materials

[0113] This embodiment involves Na 4.05 Mn 1.5 Fe 1.5 P4O 15 The material, and its preparation method includes the following steps:

[0114] Step 1: Dissolve sodium acetate, manganese acetate, ferrous sulfate, and phosphoric acid in water at a molar ratio of 4.05:1.5:1.5:4. Add glucose (5 wt% of the total solid content) as a carbon source to form a transparent brownish-red precursor solution.

[0115] Step 2: Spray dry the above precursor solution with an inlet air temperature of 300°C and an outlet air temperature of 100°C to remove moisture from the slurry and obtain dried precursor powder.

[0116] Step 3: Calcine the above precursor powder at 600℃ for 10 hours, then allow it to cool naturally to obtain Na. 4.05 Mn 1.5 Fe 1.5 P4O 15 Material.

[0117] Figure 2 for Na 4.05 Mn 1.5 Fe 1.5 P4O 15 The TEM image of the material shows that its interface is relatively smooth with only a small amount of carbon layer. This means that the interface of the material will be in direct contact with the electrolyte. During the repeated sodium insertion and extraction process, the interface cracking caused by the material volume change will trigger a violent reaction between the electrolyte and the material, which will aggravate the dissolution of the material and be detrimental to the cycling stability of the material.

[0118] Will Na 4.05 Mn 1.5 Fe 1.5 P4O 15 Material SurP and PVDF5130 are added in a mass ratio of 9.4:0.3:0.3. NMP is mixed, and the above materials are mixed evenly using a high-speed homogenizer to form a black slurry with uniform color and high fluidity. OfThe black paste was then coated onto aluminum foil using a 150µm four-sided coating apparatus, and the membrane was dried in a vacuum drying oven at 100℃ for 2 hours. The electrode membrane was punched into a disc with a radius of 0.6mm using a punching machine. Sodium metal was used as the counter electrode, 1mol / L NaClO4EC+DEC (1:1 vol%)+5% FEC was used as the electrolyte, and a PP / PE / PP three-layer separator was used. The membrane was assembled into a CR2016 button cell in a glove box.

[0119] Table 1 shows the Na 4.05 Mn 1.5 Fe 1.5 P4O 15 The key electrochemical performance of the electrode. At a low rate of 0.1C (1C = 129 mAh / g), the discharge specific capacity of this electrode was only 123.4 mAh / g, lower than that of the application example. This is mainly attributed to the underoptimization of the single sintering process, resulting in uneven distribution of elements such as manganese and iron, introducing a large number of vacancies and defects into the material structure. These microstructural defects directly reduce the effective active sites available for electrochemical reactions, thus limiting the intrinsic capacity of the material. Furthermore, the negative impact of these structural defects is more pronounced at high rates. As shown in Table 1, at a rate of 10C, the capacity retention (relative to 0.1C) of this electrode was only 91.3%, inferior to the application example. This indicates that the defects in the structure not only limit the number of active sites but also severely hinder rapid charge transport: on the one hand, increasing the impedance of electron conduction; on the other hand, setting a higher energy barrier for sodium ions when crossing different crystal phase interfaces, leading to a decrease in ion migration rate. This kinetic lag ultimately leads to a significant deterioration in rate performance. Finally, the electrode exhibits poor long-cycle stability at 1C rate, with capacity retention rates of 93.6%, 85.3%, and 61.2% after 1000, 2000, and 3000 cycles, respectively, showing an accelerated degradation trend. The severe performance degradation stems primarily from two aspects: First, the continuous Jahn-Teller effect of Mn³⁺ in the material bulk induces lattice distortion and structural stress accumulation, ultimately leading to manganese dissolution and damage to the host structure. Second, under high-voltage conditions, the material surface exhibits catalytic activity towards the electrolyte, exacerbating the oxidative decomposition of the electrolyte and forming a thick and unstable interface layer. Elemental analysis of the negative electrode after cycling revealed a manganese deposition level as high as 3500 ppm. This not only directly demonstrates the severity of manganese dissolution from the positive electrode, but these dissolved manganese ions also migrate to the negative electrode, damaging the solid electrolyte interface film and exacerbating the irreversible consumption of active sodium. This creates a vicious cycle with the performance degradation of the positive electrode, jointly leading to the rapid decline in battery capacity.

[0121] This embodiment involves Na 4.05 Mn 2.0 Fe 1.0 P4O 15 The material, and its preparation method includes the following steps:

[0122] Step 1: Dissolve sodium acetate, manganese acetate, ferrous sulfate, and phosphoric acid in water at a molar ratio of 4.05:2.0:1.0:4. Use citric acid (7wt% of the total solid content) as a carbon source to form a transparent brownish-red precursor solution.

[0123] Step 2: Spray dry the above precursor solution with an inlet air temperature of 320°C and an outlet air temperature of 120°C to remove moisture from the slurry and obtain dried precursor powder.

[0124] Step 3: Calcine the above precursor powder at 620℃ for 10 hours, then allow it to cool naturally to obtain Na. 4.05 Mn 2.0 Fe 1.0 P4O 15 Material.

[0125] Will Na 4.05 Mn 2.0 Fe 1.0 P4O 15 Material SurP and PVDF5130 are added in a mass ratio of 9.4:0.3:0.3. NMP is mixed, and the above materials are mixed evenly using a high-speed homogenizer to form a black slurry with uniform color and high fluidity. Of The black paste was then coated onto aluminum foil using a 150µm four-sided coating apparatus, and the membrane was dried in a vacuum drying oven at 100℃ for 2 hours.

The membrane was assembled into a CR2016 button cell in a glove box.

[0126] Table 1 shows the Na 4.05 Mn 2.0 Fe 1.0 P4O 15Key electrochemical performance of the electrode. At a low rate of 0.1C (1C = 129 mAh / g), the discharge specific capacity of this electrode was only 122.1 mAh / g, lower than that of the application example. This phenomenon can be attributed to the deficiencies of the single-stage sintering process, which resulted in uneven distribution of transition metal elements such as manganese and iron in the crystal lattice, forming a large number of vacancies and lattice defects. This reduced the effective sodium ion storage sites in the material, limiting the full realization of its theoretical capacity. Furthermore, the impact of structural defects on the electrode's kinetic performance was more pronounced at high rates. As shown in Table 1, at a high rate of 10C, the capacity retention rate of this electrode (relative to 0.1C) was only 92.3%, significantly inferior to the application example. This indicates that microstructural defects not only reduced the number of active sites but also severely hindered rapid charge transport: on the one hand, defects act as electron scattering centers, increasing the bulk electronic conduction impedance; on the other hand, the increased energy barriers at grain boundaries and phase boundaries significantly slowed down the cross-interfacial migration rate of sodium ions, ultimately leading to a significant decrease in rate performance. Long-term cycling performance testing further revealed the structural instability of this electrode. At 1C rate, after 1000, 2000, and 3000 cycles, its capacity retention decreased to 92.7%, 82.6%, and 57.4%, respectively, exhibiting a significant accelerated decay trend. This degradation behavior is mainly due to the combined effect of two mechanisms: firstly, the continuous Jahn-Teller distortion of Mn³⁺ in the material during cycling induces lattice distortion and local stress concentration, ultimately leading to manganese ion dissolution and host structure collapse; secondly, the electrode surface catalyzes the oxidative decomposition of the electrolyte under high voltage, forming a thick and unstable cathode-electrolyte interface film, further exacerbating the increase in interfacial impedance and capacity decay. Elemental analysis of the negative electrode after 3000 cycles showed a manganese deposition level as high as 4800 ppm, directly confirming severe manganese dissolution in the cathode material. After these dissolved manganese ions migrate to the surface of the negative electrode, they will disrupt the stability of the solid electrolyte interface film, catalyze the continuous consumption of sodium and electrolyte, and form a vicious cycle of "positive electrode structure degradation - manganese dissolution - negative electrode interface deterioration - capacity decay", ultimately leading to accelerated battery performance failure.
