TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application discloses Eu / Mo co-doped Mn2O3@Na2Mn8O 16 The application discloses an Eu / Mo co-doped Mn2O3@Na2Mn8O BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid growth of global demand for renewable energy, developing large-scale, safe and low-cost electrochemical energy storage systems has become the focus of current research. Among various energy storage technologies, aqueous zinc-ion batteries are widely considered as one of the most promising candidate technologies for application in smart grids and distributed energy storage fields due to their safety, environmental friendliness, abundant zinc resources and high theoretical capacity.

[0003] Among the many positive electrode materials, manganese-based oxides have attracted widespread attention due to their multi-valence characteristics, high working voltage and abundant resources. Although manganese oxides have complex structures, this characteristic affects their surface properties and corresponding electrochemical performance, but also provides a stable framework for the reversible insertion / deintercalation of zinc ions. However, the further development of this type of material still faces several key challenges. First, manganese will undergo a dissolution-redeposition behavior during the cycling process, leading to irreversible loss of active material and serious capacity decay. Second, the Jahn-Teller effect will cause distortion of the crystal structure, destroying the structural integrity of the electrode. In addition, the intrinsic electronic conductivity of manganese-based materials is low, which limits their rate performance and the full utilization of active sites.

[0004] Doping modification and compounding of manganese oxides are currently the most effective methods. Doping can form lattice defects inside the material, shortening the diffusion distance of zinc ions, and compounding can effectively inhibit the problems of volume expansion and dissolution existing in the active material, and improve the electronic conductivity of the material. The combination of doping modification and compounding can improve the application of manganese-based materials in aqueous zinc-ion batteries. SUMMARY

[0093] Figure 10 Eu / Mo co-doped Mn2O3@Na2Mn8O 16 The cyclic voltammogram of the water-based zinc ion battery with the MnCO3 composite material as the positive electrode. The sample synthesized from manganese sulfate monohydrate shows a clear rising peak near 1.7 V, which may correspond to a more clear and faster redox reaction, which is speculated to be the Mn 3+ / Mn 4+ redox couple. This is due to the optimization of material crystallinity, Eu / Mo element distribution, and interface contact between phases by the two-step hydrothermal process, thereby providing more effective active sites.

[0094] Figure 11 Eu / Mo co-doped Mn2O3@Na2Mn8O 16 The alternating current impedance curve of the water-based zinc ion battery with the MnCO3 composite material as the positive electrode. From the figure, it can be seen that the contact resistance of the material to the current collector changes slightly after the two-step hydrothermal process, or the conductivity of the material itself is slightly adjusted, which is likely due to the generation of a more dense and stable surface passivation layer or interface by the two-step hydrothermal process. Although this slightly increases the initial energy barrier for charge transfer at the interface, this more stable interface can effectively inhibit the continuous decomposition of the electrolyte and the dissolution of manganese elements during the cycling process, thereby achieving extremely excellent long-term cycle stability.

[0097] Second, 3.964 g of urea and 1.4517 g of sodium molybdate were added to the mixed solution and stirred for 1 hour;

[0098] Third, the above mixed solution was placed in a hydrothermal reaction kettle and reacted in an oven at a constant temperature of 160°C for 8 hours, and then naturally cooled.

[0099] Fourthly, the reaction product is taken out from the hydrothermal reactor, and is cleaned by using pure water to clean and filter the reaction product, and is placed in pure water to form a suspension, and is ultrasonically cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner for 3 minutes, and is filtered, and is cleaned for a total of 3 times.

[0100] Fifthly, calcination in a muffle furnace, and cooling to obtain a Eu / Mo co-doped Mn2O3@Na2Mn8O 16 @MnCO3 composite material by one-step hydrothermal method. The calcination temperature is 450 DEG C, wherein: the temperature rising program is set to 2 hours, and the temperature is lowered to 200 DEG C or below for 2 hours, and the constant temperature calcination time is 5 hours.
