Technical Field

[0003] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of sodium ion batteries, and in particular to a sodium ion battery and an electrical device. Background Art

[0004] Compared to lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, with their higher resource abundance, are expected to play a significant role in complementing lithium-ion batteries in areas such as power tools, energy storage, and mobile devices. These applications require sodium-ion batteries to exhibit certain cycling stability, which is largely dependent on the state of the SEI film formed between the anode and the electrolyte. The initial formation of the anode SEI film, as well as its dissolution, fragmentation, and repair during cycling, all affect the battery's electrochemical performance.

[0005] Therefore, it is of great significance to improve the cycling stability of sodium-ion batteries by improving the SEI film.

[0006] In view of this, the present disclosure is proposed.

[0020] An electrical device comprises the sodium ion battery. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] In a first aspect, the present disclosure provides a sodium ion battery, specifically a sodium ion secondary battery, which includes a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet and an electrolyte.

[0022] The electrolyte comprises an organic solvent, a sodium salt, an organic additive and a low electrode potential metal salt additive; the standard electrode potential E of the low electrode potential metal element in the low electrode potential metal salt additive at 25°C is 0 <-2.714V. Among them, the standard electrode potential E 0 The value includes but is not limited to any point value of -2.8V, -2.866V, -2.9V, -2.906V, -2.923V, -2.924V, -2.925V, -3.0V, -3.1V, -3.2V, -3.3V, -3.4V, -3.405V, -3.5V or the range value between any two of them.

[0023] Among them, if the element with a standard electrode potential higher than -2.714V is used, it is easy to be reduced to a metal element, forming dendrites and causing a short circuit.

[0024] Elements with a standard electrode potential lower than -2.714 V are reduced along with anions to form fluoride salts, carbonates, and alkyl carbonates.

[0025] The present invention introduces a low electrode potential metal salt additive with a standard electrode potential lower than that of Na into the electrolyte to participate in film formation at a lower potential, thereby improving the chemical composition of the SEI film to a certain extent, generating an SEI film with lower solubility, higher stability, and faster sodium conduction, thereby ensuring low impedance growth and excellent cycle performance throughout the battery life.

[0026] The negative electrode plate is mainly made of negative electrode active material.

[0027] The total content A of the low electrode potential metal elements in the electrolyte, the liquid retention capacity M of the sodium ion battery, and the specific surface area S of the negative electrode active material satisfy the following relationship:

[0028] Right now, The value of = 0.11 ~ 3.7, Values ​​include, but are not limited to, any one of 0.11, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25, 0.28, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 3.7, or a range of values ​​between any two of them.

[0029] In the above relationship, the unit of the total content A of the low electrode potential metal elements in the electrolyte is mg / kg, which means that the total content of the low electrode potential metal elements contained in each kg of the electrolyte is A mg.

[0030] In the above relationship, the unit of the electrolyte retention M of the sodium ion battery is g / Ah, where the electrolyte retention refers to the electrolyte retention. The unit of the specific surface area S of the negative electrode active material is m 2 / g.

[0031] In order to comprehensively improve the electrochemical performance of sodium ion batteries, in the above relationship, A=0.01~50 mg / kg, wherein the value of A includes but is not limited to 0.01 mg / kg, 0.05 mg / kg, 0.1 mg / kg, 0.5 mg / kg, 1 mg / kg, 3 mg / kg, 5 mg / kg, 8 mg / kg, 10 mg / kg, 12 mg / kg, 14 mg / kg, 15 mg / kg, 18 mg / kg, 20 mg / kg, 25 mg / kg, 30 mg / kg, 35 mg / kg, 40 mg / kg, 45 mg / kg, 50 mg / kg, any one of the point values ​​or the range between any two of them.

[0032] In one embodiment, A = 10-20 mg / kg.

[0033] In order to comprehensively improve the electrochemical performance of sodium ion batteries, in the above relationship, M=1.5~10g / Ah, wherein the M value includes but is not limited to any one of 1.5g / Ah, 2g / Ah, 2.5g / Ah, 3g / Ah, 3.5g / Ah, 4g / Ah, 4.5g / Ah, 5g / Ah, 5.5g / Ah, 6g / Ah, 6.3g / Ah, 6.5g / Ah, 7g / Ah, 7.5g / Ah, 8g / Ah, 8.5g / Ah, 9g / Ah, and 10g / Ah, or a range between any two of them.

[0034] The amount of electrolyte injected into sodium-ion secondary batteries is affected by the design capacity of the battery. If the amount of liquid retained per ampere-hour is too little, it is difficult to completely infiltrate the positive and negative electrodes, affecting the degree of sodium ion deintercalation during charging and discharging, and thus affecting the secondary battery's impedance, capacity, cycle and other performance, and there will be problems such as sodium precipitation; if the amount of liquid retained is too much, the degree of side reactions will increase, and the battery will produce gas and expand.

[0035] In order to further improve the electrochemical performance of sodium ion batteries, the present disclosure also optimizes the specific surface area of ​​the negative electrode active material. In the relationship, S = 2 to 8 m 2 / g; S value includes but not limited to 2m 2 / g、3m 2 / g、4m 2 / g、5m 2 / g、6m 2 / g、7m 2 / g、8m 2 / g or any point value or range value between any two of them. When the specific surface area is too high, the contact part between the negative electrode and the electrolyte is too large, the gas production is too much, the initial efficiency is low, and more binder needs to be added, which increases the internal resistance; when the specific surface area is too low, the active sites are small, the material utilization rate is low, and it is not conducive to the migration of sodium ions. In one embodiment, S=3~7m 2 / g.

[0036] The sodium-ion battery disclosed herein improves the SEI membrane composition by introducing a low-electrode-potential metal salt additive with a standard electrode potential lower than that of Na into the electrolyte. By regulating the low-electrode-potential metal element content, electrolyte retention, and specific surface area of ​​the negative electrode active material, the method achieves a denser, less soluble, more stable, and faster sodium-conducting SEI membrane, resulting in a sodium-ion battery with improved cycle stability and reversible capacity. This method is compatible with existing sodium-ion battery production processes and offers low production costs.

[0037] Electrolyte is one of the main materials of sodium ion batteries and one of the important factors affecting the performance of sodium ion secondary batteries. Among them, solvents, sodium salts, and additives are the main components of the electrolyte, which have a great influence on the performance of secondary batteries such as cycle, impedance, and kinetics. This application optimizes the composition of the electrolyte, comprehensively designs the amount of low electrode potential metal elements added, the liquid retention amount of the sodium ion battery, the specific surface area of ​​the negative electrode active material and other parameters to satisfy the above relationship. It can optimize the composition of the inorganic part of the SEI membrane of the sodium ion battery, form a crystalline microphase with a wider interplanar spacing, adjust the conductivity of sodium ions in the SEI membrane, reduce polarization and initial impedance, and thus make the sodium ion battery have good cycle stability, good capacity retention and low impedance growth rate during use, and is not prone to sodium precipitation and large-scale gas production.

[0038] By introducing low electrode potential metal elements in the form of low electrode potential metal salt additives, they migrate to the negative electrode during the first charge to participate in film formation, forming components such as LiF, KF, RbF that are not easily soluble in organic solvents (NaF is more soluble), which helps to reduce the dissolution of SEI during the cycle and optimize the long-cycle performance of the battery.

This can optimize the composition of the inorganic portion of the SEI membrane of a sodium ion battery, form a crystalline microphase with a wider interplanar spacing, adjust the conductivity of sodium ions in the SEI membrane, reduce polarization and initial impedance, and ensure that the sodium ion battery has good cycle stability, good capacity retention and low impedance growth rate during use, and is less likely to experience problems such as sodium precipitation and large-scale gas production.

[0051] The type and amount of the main salt and low-electrode-potential metal salt additives affect the electrolyte's conductivity and solvation structure; the solvation structure, in turn, influences initial SEI formation and kinetic performance during cycling. By controlling the specific type and amount of the main salt, the present disclosure facilitates the development of sodium-ion secondary batteries with stable film formation and excellent kinetic performance.

[0052] In one embodiment, the positive electrode plate is mainly made of a positive electrode active material.

[0054] Among them, the cyclic ester solvent has a high dielectric constant and a large viscosity, while the chain ester solvent has a low dielectric constant and a low viscosity. The present disclosure controls the mass ratio of the cyclic ester solvent and the chain ester solvent within the above-mentioned suitable range, which is beneficial to improving the kinetic performance of the sodium ion battery, preventing sodium precipitation, and optimizing its impedance performance.

[0055] In one embodiment, the cyclic ester solvent includes at least one of ethylene carbonate (EC), propylene carbonate (PC), and γ-butyrolactone (1,4-butyrolactone).

[0056] By adopting the above mass ratio range, it is also possible to avoid the problem of battery gas production caused by excessive proportion of ethylene carbonate in the cyclic ester solvent due to the singlet oxygen release mechanism.

[0075] Example 1-Example 13

[0076] The sodium ion battery provided in Examples 1 to 13 includes a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, and an electrolyte. The negative electrode active material used in the negative electrode sheet is hard carbon; the positive electrode active material used in the positive electrode sheet is Cu 0.12 Ni 0.22 Fe 0.33 Mn 0.33 The electrolyte includes an organic solvent, a sodium salt, an organic additive, and a low electrode potential metal salt additive. The specific principles and amounts of each component (in terms of mass percentage) are shown in Table 1. In addition, in each embodiment, the sodium ion battery liquid retention M, the specific surface area S of the negative electrode active material, the total content A of the low electrode potential metal elements in the electrolyte, and The values ​​are shown in Table 1.

[0077] The calculation method of the balance of organic solvent in Table 1 is: 100% - mass percentage of sodium salt - mass percentage of organic additives - mass percentage of low electrode potential metal salt additives.

[0078] Comparative Example 1-Comparative Example 6

[0079] The key parameters of each comparative example are shown in Table 1 (the rest of the conditions are the same as those of the embodiments).

[0080] Among them, the low electrode potential metal element content A was obtained by ICP testing, the liquid retention volume M was measured by balance weighing, and the specific surface area S of the negative electrode active material was obtained by Micromeritics 2020HD88 specific surface and porosity analyzer (nitrogen).

[0081] Table 1 Comparison of key parameters of each embodiment and each comparative example:

[0082] Experimental example: Electrochemical performance test:

[0083] The electrochemical performance tests of the sodium ion batteries provided in the above embodiments and comparative examples were performed, and the results are shown in Table 2 below.

[0084] The gas production test method is the drainage method; the sodium precipitation observation is to disassemble the battery in a dry room with a dew point of about -40℃ and observe the negative electrode with the naked eye.

[0085] Table 2 Electrochemical performance test results of sodium ion batteries:

[0086] As can be seen from Table 2, the sodium ion batteries prepared in each embodiment, due to the combination of the added low electrode potential metal elements and the negative electrode materials corresponding to the appropriate specific surface area, form non-sodium inorganic salt membrane components such as LiF, KF, RbF, Li2O, and Li2CO3 with appropriate content and distribution, optimize the electrical properties of the SEI film throughout the battery life cycle, improve the ability of the membrane to conduct sodium ions, and enable the battery to have good capacity retention, low initial membrane impedance and low impedance growth rate, and is not prone to problems such as sodium precipitation and large-scale gas production.

[0087] However, due to the inappropriate M, S or A values ​​of each comparative example, or the relationship is not satisfied, the electrochemical performance is reduced, the cycle performance is deteriorated, and problems such as sodium precipitation and large-scale gas production are prone to occur. Specifically, Comparative Example 1, which does not add low electrode potential metal elements, cannot achieve the above-mentioned SEI film formation optimization effect. The initial film impedance is high, the growth rate is large, and the cycle retention performance is poor. However, the addition amount of low electrode potential metal elements should not be too much. Comparative Example 2 causes the destruction of the positive electrode crystal structure and deteriorates the cycle performance due to the addition of excessive low electrode potential metal elements. Similarly, an inappropriate injection amount strongly deteriorates the battery performance. In Comparative Example 3, the injection amount is too small, and the negative electrode material has a large specific surface area and many reaction sites. The absolute content and relative content of the low electrode potential metal are insufficient, the film quality is poor, and the negative electrode material cannot be fully protected. Strong side reactions occur during the cycle of this group of batteries, gas production is high, and the cycle is difficult to maintain. On the other hand, the injection amount in Comparative Example 4 is too much, which also leads to frequent interface side reactions, strong gas production, and deteriorated battery performance. Comparative Example 5 demonstrates that exceeding the agreed range for low-electrode potential metal addition, liquid injection volume, and negative electrode specific surface area also fails to achieve excellent battery performance. The high-electrode potential metal element used in Comparative Example 6 is unable to participate in SEI formation and exists as a single element in the battery, forming dendrites that lead to micro-short circuits, significantly degrading battery performance, and increasing gas production.

[0088] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0089] (1) The sodium ion battery provided by the present disclosure introduces a low electrode potential metal element into the electrolyte and comprehensively designs the content of the low electrode potential metal element, the liquid retention capacity of the sodium ion battery, and the specific surface area of ​​the negative electrode active material so that they satisfy the above-mentioned relationship.

[0090] (2) The present disclosure improves the kinetic performance of sodium-ion batteries, prevents sodium precipitation, and optimizes their impedance performance by controlling the mass ratio of the cyclic ester solvent to the chain ester solvent within a specific range. At the same time, it avoids the problem of battery gassing caused by excessive proportion of ethylene carbonate in the cyclic ester solvent due to the singlet oxygen release mechanism.

[0091] (3) The present invention regulates the main composition of the SEI film by adjusting the types and proportions of organic additives and low electrode potential metal salt additives in the electrolyte and rationally distributes the organic and inorganic components of the SEI, thereby ensuring lower impedance and higher cycle stability of the SEI body.
