Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cathode material technology, and in particular to a titanium-doped NFPP cathode material, its precursor, its preparation method, and a sodium-ion battery. Background Technology

[0002] Energy storage systems are a crucial component of renewable energy development and utilization, with electrochemical energy storage systems based on secondary batteries possessing a wide range of applications. Although lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in new energy vehicles, electronic products, and other fields, the uneven distribution of lithium resources has led to an increasingly prominent supply-demand imbalance in the lithium salt market.

[0003] Sodium, as a group element with lithium, not only has similar chemical properties to lithium, but is also widely available and inexpensive, making sodium-ion batteries a promising secondary battery technology for large-scale application.

[0004] Sodium-ion battery cathode materials mainly encompass oxides, polyanionic compounds, Prussian blue compounds, and organic cathode materials, among which oxides and polyanionic cathode materials have attracted significant attention. Oxide cathode materials have a theoretically high specific capacity, making them suitable for developing high-energy-density rechargeable batteries; while polyanionic compound cathode materials, with their excellent cycle performance, high safety, and low raw material costs, have become the preferred choice for large-scale commercialization.

[0005] Based on the differences in anion type, polyanionic cathode materials can be classified into sulfate, phosphate, pyrophosphate, silicate, and mixed phosphate / pyrophosphate salts. Among these types, sodium iron pyrophosphate is the most extensively studied iron-based polyanionic cathode material, possessing high theoretical capacity, stable operating voltage, and excellent cycle performance. It is a cathode material with both good application prospects and cost advantages.

[0006] However, sodium iron pyrophosphate cathode materials synthesized using traditional methods suffer from problems such as poor electronic conductivity, low compaction density, and high cost, making it difficult to meet the needs of practical applications.

[0007] Therefore, it is of great significance to prepare sodium-ion battery cathode materials with better rate performance and lower cost by controlling the composition and structure of materials and optimizing the preparation process. Summary of the Invention
