Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of functional materials preparation technology, and in particular to a method for preparing sodium ion intercalated cadmium thiophosphate material. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of electrochemical energy storage, two-dimensional layered materials have attracted much attention due to their unique structure and easily tunable physicochemical properties. Modifying two-dimensional materials, such as controlling their interlayer spacing, introducing defects, or doping with elements, can effectively improve their electronic structure, ion transport kinetics, and structural stability, thereby enhancing their electrochemical performance in alkali metal ion (such as sodium-ion and potassium-ion) batteries. Among these modifications, alkali metal ion intercalation is a commonly used method, which can directly increase the interlayer spacing, reduce the ion diffusion barrier, and potentially introduce additional charge carriers, thereby improving the material's conductivity and ion migration rate.
[0003] However, traditional processes for achieving alkali metal ion intercalation often rely on high-temperature solid-state reactions or complex treatments under high vacuum and inert atmosphere protection. These methods are typically demanding, energy-intensive, and complex, which to some extent limits the controllable preparation and large-scale application of materials. Therefore, developing a mild, simple, and highly controllable intercalation preparation method is of great significance for promoting the practical application of high-performance two-dimensional electrode materials. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing sodium-ion intercalated cadmium thiophosphate materials, thereby solving the problems existing in the prior art. This invention provides a method for preparing sodium-ion intercalated cadmium thiophosphate materials under mild conditions and with simple operation. This method can achieve effective sodium ion intercalation under mild conditions, significantly increasing the interlayer spacing and conductivity of the resulting material, thus enabling it to exhibit excellent energy storage performance when used as a negative electrode in sodium-ion batteries.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following solution: One of the technical solutions of the present invention: a method for preparing a sodium ion-intercalated cadmium thiophosphate material, comprising the following steps: Cadmium thiophosphate (CdPS3) was added to a mixed aqueous solution of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and potassium (K) salt, and the mixture was stirred at 40-60°C to carry out the first ion exchange reaction, yielding potassium-intercalated cadmium thiophosphate (CdPS3). 2-2x Cd x PS3, 0 < x < 1) intermediate; The potassium-intercalated cadmium thiophosphate intermediate was added to an aqueous sodium (Na) salt solution, and a second ion exchange reaction was carried out by stirring at a temperature of 20-30°C (i.e., room temperature) to obtain the sodium-intercalated cadmium thiophosphate material (i.e., Na).2-2x Cd x PS3 material, 0 < x < 1).
[0006] In this invention, firstly, CdPS3 is subjected to a first ion exchange reaction with a mixed aqueous solution containing ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and potassium salt in an aqueous phase system at 40-60°C to obtain the intermediate product K. 2-2x Cd x PS3; subsequently, K was placed at room temperature (20-30℃). 2-2x Cd x PS3 undergoes a second ion exchange reaction with an aqueous solution of sodium salt to finally obtain the target product Na. 2- 2x Cd x PS3 material. This invention employs a low-temperature aqueous phase ion exchange process, which features mild conditions, simple operation, and environmental friendliness, making it suitable for large-scale preparation. In the material prepared by this invention, sodium ions successfully insert into the CdPS3 interlayer, significantly expanding the interlayer spacing, while simultaneously forming cadmium vacancies, improving the material's conductivity, and causing the microstructure to transform from the original two-dimensional sheet-like structure to a one-dimensional rod-like structure, increasing the specific surface area and active sites. The obtained Na... 2-2x Cd x When PS3 material is used as an anode material in sodium-ion batteries, it exhibits excellent cycle stability and rate performance.
[0007] This invention achieves sodium ion intercalation through two ion exchange reactions. Direct ion exchange of CdPS3 in a sodium salt aqueous solution fails to achieve sodium ion intercalation. This is because the radius of hydrated sodium ions is too large (276 pm), preventing direct insertion into the interlayer space of CdPS3. In contrast, the smaller radius of hydrated potassium ions (232 pm) allows direct insertion into the interlayer space, thus widening the interlayer spacing.
[0008] In the first ion exchange reaction, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) acts as a chelating agent and can react with Cd. 2+ Ion binding, consuming Cd 2+ This promotes the K in the solution + Cd removed by ion substitution 2+ Ions, generating K 2-2x Cd x PS3.
[0009] Furthermore, the potassium salt includes one or more of potassium carbonate (K2CO3), potassium chloride (KCl), potassium sulfate (K2SO4), and potassium nitrate (KNO3).
[0010] Furthermore, the concentration of potassium ions in the mixed aqueous solution (total concentration of all potassium ions) is 1-3 mol / L.
[0011] Furthermore, the molar ratio of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid to potassium ions in the mixed aqueous solution is 1:1-1.5.
[0012] Furthermore, the ratio of the amount of cadmium thiophosphate to the amount of potassium ions contained in the mixed aqueous solution is 100 mg: 0.01-0.03 mol.
[0013] Furthermore, the reaction time for the first ion exchange reaction is 2-12 hours.
[0014] Furthermore, after the first ion exchange reaction is completed, the process also includes washing, centrifugation, and drying.
[0015] Furthermore, the sodium salt in the sodium salt aqueous solution includes one or more of sodium chloride, sodium fluoride, and sodium sulfate.
[0016] Furthermore, the sodium ion concentration in the sodium salt aqueous solution is 1-3 mol / L.
[0017] Furthermore, the ratio of the potassium ion intercalated cadmium thiophosphate intermediate to the sodium ions contained in the sodium salt aqueous solution is 100 mg: 0.01-0.03 mol.
[0018] Furthermore, the reaction time for the second ion exchange reaction is 1-5 hours.
[0019] Furthermore, after the second ion exchange reaction is completed, the process also includes washing, centrifugation, and drying.
[0020] Further, the preparation steps of the cadmium thiophosphate include: placing a mixture of phosphorus powder and sulfur powder in a molar ratio of 1:3-5 in the upstream temperature zone of a dual-temperature zone reaction apparatus, placing CdS powder in the downstream temperature zone of the dual-temperature zone reaction apparatus, and heating the upstream and downstream temperature zones to 280-320℃ and 520-600℃ respectively in a flowing inert atmosphere to carry out the reaction, thereby obtaining the cadmium thiophosphate.
[0021] Preferably, the dual-temperature zone reaction device includes a dual-temperature zone tube furnace.
[0022] Furthermore, the cadmium thiophosphate is a two-dimensional cadmium thiophosphate, that is, a two-dimensional cadmium thiophosphate nanosheet.
[0023] The method of this invention can obtain two-dimensional sheet-like cadmium thiophosphate materials, which, after two ion exchange reactions, can yield one-dimensional nanorod-shaped sodium ion-intercalated cadmium thiophosphate materials. In contrast, cadmium thiophosphate prepared by other methods, such as chemical vapor transport, is a bulk material, not a two-dimensional sheet-like material. If bulk cadmium thiophosphate is used as a raw material for the ion exchange reaction, the resulting alkali metal ion-intercalated cadmium thiophosphate material still retains a bulk morphology, rather than a one-dimensional nanorod-shaped morphology.
[0024] Furthermore, the upstream temperature zone is kept at 280-320℃ for 3 hours, and the downstream temperature zone is kept at 520-600℃ for 3 hours.
[0025] Furthermore, the flow rate of the inert atmosphere is 40-100 sccm.
[0026] The second technical solution of the present invention: a sodium ion intercalated cadmium thiophosphate material prepared by the above-described method.
[0027] The third technical solution of the present invention: the application of the above-mentioned sodium ion intercalated cadmium thiophosphate material in the preparation of sodium ion battery anode.
[0028] The fourth technical solution of the present invention: a sodium-ion battery negative electrode, the raw material of which includes the above-mentioned sodium-ion intercalated cadmium thiophosphate material.
