Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention discloses a synergistic lattice strain Mo2C-Na2Mn8O 16 The composite material and its preparation method belong to the field of aqueous zinc-ion battery technology in inorganic materials. Background Technology

[0002] With the global energy structure transitioning towards renewable energy, the development of safe, low-cost, and environmentally friendly large-scale energy storage technologies has become an urgent need. Among numerous candidate technologies, aqueous zinc-ion batteries show great promise due to their safety, environmental friendliness, and high theoretical capacity. However, their development is constrained by the performance limitations of cathode materials. Among various cathode materials, sodium manganese oxide has attracted much attention due to its unique structure. This material possesses two-dimensional diffusion channels suitable for zinc ion insertion and extraction, has a high theoretical capacity, and is rich in manganese and environmentally friendly. However, its poor intrinsic conductivity and susceptibility to manganese dissolution and structural collapse during cycling severely limit its practical applications.

[0003] Molybdenum carbide (Mo2C), as a typical transition metal carbide, exhibits unique advantages in electrochemical energy storage due to its high conductivity and excellent chemical stability. However, a key challenge in the practical application of Mo2C lies in the tendency of its high surface energy nanoparticles to aggregate during synthesis. This leads to the carbon layer covering the active molybdenum sites, increasing interparticle resistance, reducing the available active sites, resulting in low charge transport efficiency and severely deteriorating electrode reaction kinetics. Currently, strategies such as nanostructure engineering and high specific surface area carrier composites can prevent nanoparticle aggregation and promote charge transfer. Biomass-based materials also facilitate the dispersion of molybdenum salt precursors, thereby improving the distribution of Mo2C. However, existing biomass-derived catalysts often rely on exogenous additives to enhance Mo2C dispersion, which not only complicates the synthesis process but may also compromise the integrity of the material. The application of Mo2C in aqueous zinc-ion battery cathode materials, especially its composite with manganese-based oxides, remains in the exploratory stage. Summary of the Invention
