[0002] 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

[0003] 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.

[0004] Sodium batteries have better low-temperature discharge performance. However, how to improve the rate performance of sodium batteries under low-temperature conditions is a problem that urgently needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] 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 that can have better rate performance under low temperature conditions.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a sodium-ion battery cell, a battery device, and an electrical device.

[0007] The first aspect of this application provides a sodium-ion battery cell, comprising an electrolyte, a negative electrode, and a positive electrode; wherein the electrolyte comprises a cyclic carbonate and a chain ester; the freezing point F of the cyclic carbonate satisfies: -60℃≤F≤-10℃, the viscosity N of the chain ester at 25±1℃ satisfies: 0.2mPas≤N≤3mPas, and the mass ratio E of the cyclic carbonate and the chain ester satisfies: 1 / 9≤E≤1; the negative electrode comprises a negative current collector and a negative electrode film, and the porosity P of the negative electrode film on the side of the negative current collector satisfies: 30%≤ P≤55%; the negative electrode film layer includes a carbon-based material, which includes multiple graphite-like sheets and multiple pore structures; at least some of the graphite-like sheets form an interlayer spacing between two graphite-like sheets, and the interlayer spacing satisfies the following: the volume H1 of the space between 0.35nm and 0.4nm and the total volume H of the space formed by the multiple graphite-like sheets 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%.

[0008] In some implementations, E satisfies: 0.25 ≤ E ≤ 1.

[0009] In some implementations, H1 and H satisfy the following condition: 40% ≤ H1 / H ≤ 60%.

[0010] In some implementations, P satisfies: 30% ≤ P ≤ 50%.

[0011] In the embodiments of this application, 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 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 negative electrode film with high porosity can also increase the solid-phase transport rate of sodium ions in the negative electrode sheet. In summary, this can reduce the charge transfer impedance of the negative electrode sheet. Further, an electrolyte with high low-temperature conductivity can increase the liquid-phase transport rate of sodium ions in the electrolyte at low temperatures. In addition, the aforementioned ratio of cyclic carbonates and chain esters, and the viscosity range of the chain esters, can further improve the wettability of the electrolyte to the negative electrode sheet. By combining the above technical solutions, sodium ions extracted from carbon-based materials can reach the positive electrode interface more quickly to participate in the reaction, thus enabling sodium-ion battery cells to have better rate performance under low-temperature conditions.

[0012] 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%.

[0013] 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 impedance 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 under low temperature conditions.

[0014] 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%.

[0015] 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.

[0016] In some implementations, V1 and V satisfy: 8% ≤ V1 / V ≤ 15%.

[0017] In some embodiments, the pore volume V2 of the pore structure with a pore size of less than or equal to 2 nm in the carbon-based material, as measured by nitrogen adsorption, satisfies the following condition: 4.5% ≤ V2 / V ≤ 30%.

[0018] In some implementations, V2 and V satisfy: 10% ≤ V2 / V ≤ 18%.

[0019] 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.

[0020] 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%.

[0021] 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.

[0022] 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%.

[0023] 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.

[0024] In some embodiments, determined by nitrogen adsorption, the carbon-based material contains pores with a diameter in the range of 1.0 nm to 1.5 nm, and 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), is 0.001 cm⁻¹. 3 / (g·log(nm))-0.009cm 3 / (g·log(nm)).

[0025] 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 1.0 nm to 1.5 nm in the carbon-based material corresponds to the pore volume contributed per unit pore diameter, with a maximum value of 0.001 cm. 3 / (g·log(nm))-0.009cm 3 Within the range of / (g·log(nm)), it is beneficial to reduce gas generation and bubbling during the pulping process.

[0026] 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.

[0027] 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 .

[0028] In the embodiments of this application, when the energy density is satisfied and the powder compaction density is controlled within the above range, the electrode sheet can have a higher porosity, which increases the contact area between the negative electrode sheet 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 sheet, and improving the discharge power of the sodium-ion battery cell.

[0029] In some implementations, the film resistance R of the negative electrode plate satisfies: 60mΩ≤R≤170mΩ.

[0030] In the embodiments of this application, a negative electrode film resistance within a suitable range can enable the negative electrode to have higher ionic conductivity and reduce the charge transfer impedance of the negative electrode.

[0031] In some implementations, the negative electrode film layer also includes carbon nanotubes.

[0032] 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.

[0033] In some embodiments, the mass percentage E1 of the cyclic carbonate in the electrolyte satisfies: 0.05 ≤ E1 ≤ 0.6. Optionally, 0.1 ≤ E1 ≤ 0.5.

[0034] In the embodiments of this application, when the mass percentage of cyclic carbonate in the electrolyte is within the above-mentioned range, the sodium salt can be better dissociated, thereby improving the stability of the negative electrode / electrolyte interface film.

[0035] In some embodiments, the mass percentage E2 of the chain ester in the electrolyte satisfies: 0.4 ≤ E2 ≤ 0.9. Optionally, 0.5 ≤ E2 ≤ 0.8.

[0036] In the embodiments of this application, when the mass percentage of the chain ester in the electrolyte is within the above-mentioned range, the migration kinetics of sodium ions can be further improved, thereby increasing the discharge power of the sodium-ion battery cell.

[0037] In some embodiments, the dielectric constant D of the cyclic carbonate satisfies: 89 ≤ D ≤ 98.

[0038] In the embodiments of this application, cyclic carbonates with high dielectric constants have a more suitable freezing point, thereby enabling the electrolyte to have higher ionic conductivity and higher sodium ion migration kinetics, thus improving the discharge power of sodium-ion battery cells.

[0039] In some embodiments, cyclic carbonates include propylene carbonate and / or ethylene carbonate.

[0040] In the embodiments of this application, the relevant components of cyclic carbonate have stronger chemical stability, further taking into account the life performance of sodium-ion battery cells.

[0041] In some embodiments, the molecular weight M of the chain ester satisfies: 600 ≤ M ≤ 1000.

[0042] In the embodiments of this application, when the molecular weight of the chain ester is within the above range, the chain ester can have a more suitable viscosity, thereby improving the migration kinetics of sodium ions and increasing the discharge power of the sodium-ion battery cell.

[0043] In some embodiments, the chain esters include chain carbonates and / or chain carboxylic acid esters.

[0044] In the embodiments of this application, the relevant components of the chain ester can further enhance the sodium ion migration kinetics under low temperature conditions, thereby improving the low-temperature discharge power of sodium ion battery cells.

[0072] Specifically, the term "volume of space" refers to the size of the space formed between adjacent graphite sheets.

[0073] 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.

[0074] During their research on the performance of sodium-ion batteries, the applicant discovered that sodium batteries exhibit better low-temperature discharge performance. However, in applications requiring high-power discharge at low temperatures, sodium batteries sometimes perform poorly, limiting their use in such scenarios. One manifestation of this is that in low-temperature environments (< -10℃), 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. Frequent charging is required 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 may fail to discharge at the preset rate, with performance declining sharply, affecting normal use.

[0075] The applicant recognized that the main bottleneck restricting the high-power performance of sodium batteries at low temperatures 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 at low temperatures 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 of sodium batteries. In summary, the bottleneck for achieving high-rate discharge performance of sodium batteries at low temperatures lies in simultaneously reducing the electron transfer impedance on the negative electrode surface and the low-temperature liquid-phase diffusion impedance. Solving these bottlenecks is essential to achieving high-current discharge under low-temperature conditions.

[0076] 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 electrolyte includes cyclic carbonate and chain ester; the freezing point F of the cyclic carbonate satisfies: -60℃≤F≤-10℃, the viscosity V of the chain ester at 25±1℃ satisfies: 0.2mPas≤V≤3mPas, and the mass ratio E of the cyclic carbonate and chain ester satisfies: 1 / 9≤E≤1; the negative electrode includes a negative electrode film layer, and the porosity P of the negative electrode film layer satisfies: 30%≤P≤55%; The negative electrode film layer comprises a carbon-based material, which includes multiple graphite-like sheets and multiple porous structures. At least some of the graphite-like sheets form interlayer spacing between two graphite-like sheets, with the interlayer spacing satisfying a space volume H1 of 0.35nm-0.4nm and a total space volume H formed by the multiple graphite-like sheets satisfying: 20% ≤ H1 / H ≤ 60%. Based on nitrogen adsorption, the pore volume V1 of the pore structures with a pore size of 5nm-10nm in the carbon-based material and the total pore volume V of the pore structures satisfying: 2% ≤ V1 / V ≤ 15%. The sodium-ion battery cell provided in this application embodiment can exhibit better rate performance under low-temperature conditions.

[0077] 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.

[0078] 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.

[0079] 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.

[0080] 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, by combining a negative electrode film with appropriate porosity and an electrolyte with low freezing point and high viscosity, sodium ions that escape from carbon-based materials can reach the positive electrode interface more quickly to participate in the reaction, avoiding electron accumulation and polarization, reducing charge transfer impedance and liquid phase diffusion impedance, improving the battery polarization process, and increasing the battery power density.

[0081] 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.

[0082] 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.

[0083] Sodium-ion battery cell 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 an 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 electrolyte includes cyclic carbonate and chain ester; the freezing point F of the cyclic carbonate satisfies: -60℃≤F≤-10℃, the viscosity N of the chain ester at 25±1℃ satisfies: 0.2mPas≤N≤3mPas, and the mass ratio E of the cyclic carbonate and the chain ester satisfies: 1 / 9≤E≤1.

[0084] Optionally, 0.25 ≤ E ≤ 1.

[0085] F can be -60℃, -55℃, -50℃, -45℃, -40℃, -35℃, -30℃, -25℃, -20℃, -15℃, -10℃, or any value within the above range. N can be 0.2mPas, 0.5mPas, 1mPas, 1.5mPas, 2mPas, 2.5mPas, 3mPas, or any value within the above range. E can be 1 / 9, 1 / 8, 1 / 7, 1 / 6, 1 / 5, 1 / 4, 1 / 3, 1 / 2, 1, or any value within the above range.

[0086] 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 porosity P of the negative electrode film layer on the negative electrode current collector side satisfies: 30%≤P≤55%; 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 of 0.35nm-0.4nm and the total volume H of the space formed by the multiple graphite-like sheet layers satisfying: 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 satisfying: 2%≤V1 / V≤15%.

[0087] Optionally, 30% ≤ P ≤ 50%.

[0088] Optionally, 40% ≤ H1 / H ≤ 60%.

[0089] Optionally, 8% ≤ V1 / V ≤ 15%.

[0090] P can be 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 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%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, or any value within the above range.

[0091] 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.

[0092] In the hierarchical structure design of carbon-based materials, the interlayer spacing between graphite-like sheets affects the overall extraction rate of sodium ions. Larger interlayer spacing allows for a larger proportion of the space between graphite-like sheets, facilitating sodium ion extraction and thus slowing down the overall growth rate of the negative electrode potential. In the pore structure design of carbon-based materials, pore sizes affect the transport path of sodium ions from the interior to the surface. Pores with a diameter of 5nm-10nm (also known as mesopores) contain fewer active sites, and a lower proportion of these pores shortens the transport path, making sodium ion extraction easier. Furthermore, a negative electrode film with higher porosity increases the solid-phase transport rate of sodium ions within the negative electrode, allowing them to escape from the carbon-based material more quickly and reach the positive electrode interface to participate in the reaction. Cyclic carbonates in the electrolyte have lower freezing points, which can improve the liquid-phase transport rate of sodium ions at low temperatures. Meanwhile, cyclic carbonates can dissociate sodium salts, thereby improving the stability of the negative electrode / electrolyte interface film without affecting the sodium ion migration rate of the electrolyte. Introducing low-viscosity chain esters into the electrolyte can improve sodium ion migration kinetics while simultaneously ensuring sodium salt dissociation, thus increasing the discharge power of the sodium-ion battery cell. In summary, within the aforementioned ratio range of cyclic carbonates and chain esters in the electrolyte, as well as the viscosity range of the chain esters, the wettability of the electrolyte to the negative electrode can be further improved, allowing sodium ions to be more quickly released from the carbon-based material and reach the positive electrode interface to participate in the reaction.

[0093] In this embodiment, by controlling the spatial proportion of graphite-like sheets with large interlayer spacing in the carbon-based material, the extraction rate of sodium ions in the carbon-based material can be increased. Simultaneously, by maintaining the pore volume proportion of larger-diameter pores within the aforementioned range in the carbon-based material, the diffusion path of sodium ions from the interior to the surface of the carbon-based material can be shortened, 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 negative electrode film with higher porosity can also improve the solid-phase transport rate of sodium ions in the negative electrode sheet. In summary, the charge transfer impedance of the negative electrode sheet can be reduced. Further, an electrolyte with higher low-temperature conductivity can improve the liquid-phase transport rate of sodium ions in the electrolyte at low temperatures. In addition, the aforementioned ratio of cyclic carbonates and chain esters, and the viscosity range of the chain esters, can further enhance the wettability of the electrolyte to the negative electrode sheet. By combining the above technical solutions, sodium ions extracted from carbon-based materials can reach the positive electrode interface more quickly to participate in the reaction, thus enabling sodium-ion battery cells to have better rate performance under low-temperature conditions.

[0094] In some implementations, the volume H2 of the space with an interlayer spacing greater than 0.40 nm and the volume H of the total space formed by multiple graphite-like layers satisfy: 30% ≤ H2 / H ≤ 58%.

[0095] H2 / H can be 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 58%, or any value within the above range.

[0096] 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 impedance 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 under low temperature conditions.

[0097] 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%.

[0098] H3 / H can be 0, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 22%, or any value within the above range.

[0099] 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.

[0100] 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, satisfies the following condition: 4.5% ≤ V2 / V ≤ 30%. Optionally, 10% ≤ V2 / V ≤ 18%.

[0101] V2 / V can be 4.5%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 18%, 20%, 25%, 30%, or any value within the above range.

[0102] 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.

[0103] 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: 5%≤V3 / V≤15%.

[0104] V3 / V can be 5%, 10%, 15%, or any value within the above range.

[0105] 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.

[0106] 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%.

[0107] V4 / V can be 3.5%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 24%, 25%, 30%, or any value within the above range.

[0108] 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.

[0109] 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 1.5nm) have less impact on processability, presumably because the bubbling duration caused by these pores is shorter. Smaller pore sizes (pores smaller than 1.0nm) 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 1.0nm and 1.5nm 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.

[0110] 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.

[0111] 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.

[0112] 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.

[0113] 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.

[0114] 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.

[0115] 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 .

[0116] T can be 0.8 g / cm³ 3 0.9g / cm 3 1g / cm 3 Or any value within the above range.

[0117] In the embodiments of this application, when the energy density is satisfied and the powder compaction density is controlled within the above range, the electrode sheet can have a higher porosity, which increases the contact area between the negative electrode sheet 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 sheet, and improving the discharge power of the sodium-ion battery cell.

[0118] In some implementations, the film resistance R of the negative electrode 51 satisfies: 60mΩ≤R≤170mΩ.

[0125] In the embodiments of this application, when the mass percentage of cyclic carbonate in the electrolyte is within the above-mentioned range, the sodium salt can be better dissociated, thereby improving the stability of the negative electrode / electrolyte interface film.

[0126] In some embodiments, the mass percentage E2 of the chain ester in the electrolyte satisfies: 0.4 ≤ E2 ≤ 0.9. Optionally, 0.5 ≤ E2 ≤ 0.8.

[0127] E2 can be 0.4, 0.45, 0.5, 0.55, 0.6, 0.65, 0.7, 0.75, 0.8, 0.9 or any value within the above range.

[0128] In the embodiments of this application, when the mass percentage of the chain ester in the electrolyte is within the above-mentioned range, the migration kinetics of sodium ions can be further improved, thereby increasing the discharge power of the sodium-ion battery cell.

[0129] In some embodiments, the dielectric constant D of the cyclic carbonate satisfies: 89 ≤ D ≤ 98.

[0130] D can be 89, 90, 95, 98, or any value within the above range.

[0131] In the embodiments of this application, cyclic carbonates with high dielectric constants have a more suitable freezing point, thereby enabling the electrolyte to have higher ionic conductivity and higher sodium ion migration kinetics, thus improving the discharge power of sodium-ion battery cells.

[0132] In some embodiments, cyclic carbonates include propylene carbonate and / or ethylene carbonate.

[0133] In the embodiments of this application, the relevant components of cyclic carbonate have stronger chemical stability, further taking into account the life performance of sodium-ion battery cells.

[0153] The above H1 / H, H2 / H, and H3 / H can be obtained by peak fitting of the XRD pattern of carbon-based materials.

[0154] 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. The wavelength λ of the copper target was 1.5406 Å, the scanning 2θ angle range was 10º-40º, and the scanning rate was 1º / min. A Bruker D8 Discover X-ray diffractometer could be used as the testing instrument.

[0155] Next, the XRD diffraction pattern of the carbon-based material was fitted using XPS peak software. The XRD pattern of the carbon-based material was fitted into three small peaks, namely the first fitted peak A, the second fitted peak B, and the third fitted peak C. The fitting criteria were: the 2θ angle of the first fitted peak A was 22.2º~24.7º, the 2θ angle of the second fitted peak B was less than 22.2º, and the 2θ angle of the third fitted peak C was greater than 24.7º.

An exemplary test method is as follows: Weigh 1g of sample powder and add it to a container with a bottom area of ​​1.327cm². 2 In the mold, the pressure is increased to 2t, held for 30s, then the pressure is released and held for 10s. The compaction density of the powder under 2t pressure is then recorded and calculated.

[0199] [Example] The following describes embodiments of this application. The embodiments described below are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application. Where specific techniques or conditions are not specified in the embodiments, they are performed according to the techniques or conditions described in the literature in this field or according to the product instructions. Reagents or instruments used, unless otherwise specified, are all conventional products that can be obtained commercially.

[0200] Example 1 (1) Preparation of negative electrode sheet I. Preparation of negative electrode active materials 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. ② Carbonization step: Under nitrogen gas, heat to 1200℃ and hold for 2 hours, then cool to room temperature; 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.

[0201] II. Preparation of the negative electrode sheet 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 a 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%.

[0202] (2) Preparation of positive electrode sheet 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.

[0203] (3) Separating membrane PE porous polymer film is used as the separator.

[0204] (4) Electrolyte Ethylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate were mixed at a volume ratio of 2:3, and the mixed viscosity was 1.1 mPa·s to obtain the electrolyte.

[0205] (5) Preparation of battery cells 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.

[0206] Example 2 The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that the final carbonization temperature in the material preparation process is 1300℃.

[0207] Example 3 The difference between Example 3 and Example 1 is that the final carbonization temperature in the material preparation process is 1100℃, and the heating rate is 3℃ / min.

[0208] Comparative Example 1 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.

[0209] The specific parameters of the battery cells in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1 are shown in Tables 1-2 below.

[0210] Table 1: Specific parameters of the negative electrode sheets in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1

[0211] Table 2: Specific parameters of the electrolytes in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1

[0212] 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 3 below.

[0213] Table 3: Performance test results of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1

[0214] Combined with Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1, compared to Comparative Example 1, when the spatial proportion of interlayer spacing, the proportion of pores with specific pore sizes, the porosity of the negative electrode film, and the electrolyte composition ratio in Examples 1-3 are within the above ranges, and the electrolyte is a high-conductivity electrolyte, the sodium-ion battery cell still has a higher capacity retention rate after completing a constant current charge-discharge cycle of 3C under low-temperature conditions, thus proving that the sodium-ion battery cell still has better rate performance when used at low temperatures.

[0215] [Testing methods for individual battery cell parameters] The battery cells being tested can be newly assembled and unformed, or they can be battery cells removed from electrical devices (such as vehicles).

[0216] (1) Testing of rate performance of individual battery cells At 25℃, the battery is charged at a constant current of 1 / 3C to 3.65V, then charged at a constant voltage of 4.35V to a current of 0.05C, rested 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 according to the following formula: Q1=(D1 / D0)×100%.
