Description

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries have high energy density and are widely used in new energy electric vehicles and energy storage fields. However, due to the limited and expensive lithium resources, it is difficult for lithium-ion batteries to meet the growing demands of new energy electric vehicles and energy storage. Since sodium resources are abundant and the cost of sodium resources is much lower than that of lithium resources, and sodium and lithium elements have similar electrochemical properties, developing safe and high-performance sodium-ion batteries is the future development direction.

[0003] Sodium vanadium fluorophosphate, the positive electrode active material of sodium-ion batteries, is a very promising material. However, due to its own structure, there are some factors that limit the capacity performance: on the one hand, since the [V2O8F3] double octahedrons in the crystal structure are connected by [PO4], and [PO4] is an extremely stable tetrahedral structure with electronic insulation, which leads to very low electronic conductivity of sodium vanadium fluorophosphate, resulting in poor rate performance of sodium batteries using sodium vanadium fluorophosphate.

After calcination, Na3V2(PO4)2F3@C is obtained.

[0164] Experimental Example 1

[0165] 1. XRD tests were performed on the sodium-ion battery positive electrode active materials prepared in Example 2 and Comparative Example 1. The XRD scanning range was 10-80° with a step size of 0.5°s. -1 The testing instrument was a D8 ADVANCE model manufactured by Bruker GmbH, Germany. Results are shown below. Figure 4As shown, because B and V are both in the transition period and have similar properties, if the B doping were not at the V site, the crystal structure would definitely change. However, the XRD test results show that the crystal structure has not changed and still matches the XRD standard card of sodium vanadium fluorophosphate Na3V2(PO4)2F3(NVPF). In conclusion, the B doping site is at the V site.

[0166] 2. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to examine the morphology and perform Raman analysis of the sodium-ion battery positive electrode active materials prepared in Example 2 and Comparative Example 1. The SEM instrument used was a JEOL JSM-6390A model with an accelerating voltage of 3.5 kV. The Raman instrument was a DXR2 manufactured by Thcrmo Scientific, USA. The results are shown below. Figure 7 and 8 As shown, from Figure 7 It can be seen that the comparative example shows obvious agglomeration and uneven particle size distribution. In contrast, the example does not exhibit agglomeration and has a uniform particle size distribution. Figure 8 As can be seen, the degree of graphitization of carbon in the sodium-ion battery positive electrode active materials obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 is the same, indicating that the introduction of dopant elements has no effect on the degree of graphitization, and that the improvement in electrochemical performance is only due to the introduction of dopant elements.

[0167] 3. Take the coin cells from Examples 1 and 2, charge them at 0.2C to the cutoff voltage (4.3V), disassemble the cells, clean the active materials with NMP, and test the mapping of the positive electrode active materials using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results are shown in [Figure 1]. Figure 1 and 2 ,from Figure 1 It can be seen that Li can still be detected after the battery is fully charged, indicating that Li... + It did not come out of the embedding, indicating that Li + It did not participate in the electrochemical reaction, meaning it was doped at the Na1 site, which does not participate in the electrochemical reaction. From Figure 2 It can be seen that K can still be detected after the battery is fully charged, indicating that K... + It did not come out of the embedding, indicating that K + The dopant did not participate in the electrochemical reaction, meaning it was doped at the Na1 site, which is not involved in the electrochemical reaction. The Na1 site is very stable, and during synthesis, it tends to remain in a stable state. The mapping diagram of the sodium-ion battery positive electrode active material prepared in Example 1 was tested and is shown in [see attached image]. Figure 3 As shown, Na, K, and Cr elements can be detected, proving that K and Cr elements have been successfully doped.

[0168] 4. Cyclic performance test method: The temperature atmosphere is 25℃, the potential range is 2.5-4.3V, and the current density is 0.5C. Charge to 4.3V with a constant current of 0.5C, discharge to 2.5V with a constant current of 0.5C, cycle 100 times, and calculate the capacity retention rate after 100 cycles. Capacity retention rate = discharge capacity on the 100th cycle / discharge capacity on the 1st cycle.

[0169] 5. Rate Performance Test Method: At 25℃, first charge at 0.5C to 4.3V, then discharge at 0.5C to 2.5V, repeating 5 cycles; then charge at 1C to 4.3V, then discharge at 1C to 2.5V, repeating 5 cycles; then charge at 2C to 4.3V, then discharge at 2C to 2.5V, repeating 5 cycles; then charge at 5C to 4.3V, then discharge at 5C to 2.5V, repeating 5 cycles; then charge at 10C to 4.3V, then discharge at 10C to 2.5V, repeating 5 cycles; finally, charge at 0.5C to 4.3V, then discharge at 0.5C to 2.5V, repeating 5 cycles. Current densities are 0.5C, 1C, 2C, 5C, 10C, and 0.5C. Each current density is cycled 5 times. Record the first discharge capacity at 0.5C and the first discharge specific capacity at 10C.

[0171]

[0172]

[0173] From the table above and Figure 5 and 6 As can be seen, compared with Comparative Example 1, the batteries made from the sodium-ion battery positive electrode active material used in the various embodiments of the present invention have significantly improved cycle performance, rate performance, and capacity performance.

[0174] Comparing Examples 1-6, it can be seen that the batteries made from the sodium-ion battery positive electrode active materials used in Example 1 (doped with K and Cr) and Example 3 (doped with K and Y) can better balance excellent cycle performance, rate performance, and capacity performance, especially Example 1.

[0175] Comparing Examples 1 and 7-10, it can be seen that Examples 1, 7 and 8, by controlling the amount of NaF, KF, NH4VO3 and Cr(NO3)3, allow the x and y in the chemical formula of the polyanionic material to be controlled within the selectable range, so that the battery made of sodium-ion battery positive electrode active material can better balance excellent cycle performance, rate performance and capacity performance.

[0176] Comparing Examples 1 and 11-13, it can be seen that Examples 1 and 13, by controlling the gelation temperature within a selectable range, enable the batteries made from sodium-ion battery cathode active materials to better balance excellent cycle performance, rate performance, and capacity performance.

[0177] Comparing Examples 1 and 14-17, it can be seen that Examples 1 and 16-17, by controlling the calcination temperature within a selectable range, enable the batteries made from sodium-ion battery cathode active materials to better balance excellent cycle performance, rate performance, and capacity performance.

[0178] Compared with Examples 1 and 18-20, Examples 19-20 further improve the cycle performance, rate performance, and capacity performance of batteries made from sodium-ion battery cathode active materials by limiting the ratio of the total number of moles of Na source, A source, V source, B source, P source, and carbon source to the volume of water within a selectable range.

[0179] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this application.
