A modified P2-type sodium cathode material and its preparation method and application Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of sodium ion batteries and relates to a modified P2-type sodium battery positive electrode material and its preparation method and application. Background Art

[0002] Sodium-ion batteries, with their abundant raw materials and low cost, have broad application prospects in new large-scale energy storage systems and smart grids. The development of high-performance electrode material systems plays a crucial role in the application of sodium-ion batteries.

[0003] Among the many cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries, layered transition metal oxides have attracted widespread attention due to their simple synthesis methods and controllable composition and structure. The increasing demand for high specific capacity due to technological advancements has made the capacity limitations of traditional cationic redox reaction mechanisms a bottleneck.

[0004] CN115064670A discloses a method for preparing a doped, coated, and modified sodium nickel manganate positive electrode material, comprising the following steps: (1) surface treating the sodium nickel manganate positive electrode material with a hydrogen peroxide solution to obtain a surface-treated sodium nickel manganate positive electrode material; and (2) mixing the surface-treated sodium nickel manganate positive electrode material in step (1) with sodium salt and MgO powder, grinding the mixture, and then calcining the mixture to obtain the doped, coated, and modified sodium nickel manganate positive electrode material.

[0005] CN113845158A discloses a method for preparing a porous spherical structure sodium nickel manganate positive electrode material, comprising the following steps: (1) adding a nickel manganese metal salt solution, a carbonate precipitant solution and a complexing agent solution into a reactor containing a bottom liquid to carry out a co-precipitation reaction to obtain a nickel manganese binary carbonate precursor with a solid structure having different internal and external crystallinity; (2) calcining the nickel manganese binary carbonate precursor with a solid structure to decompose the nickel manganese binary carbonate with a solid structure to obtain a nickel manganese binary oxide precursor with a layered structure; and (3) uniformly mixing the layered nickel manganese binary oxide precursor with a sodium salt and calcining the mixture to obtain the porous spherical structure sodium nickel manganate positive electrode material.

[0006] In the sodium positive electrode material prepared by the above scheme, Mn 3+ / Mn 4+ The working voltage of the redox couple is low, which leads to low energy density of the material, and Mn 3+It is easy to cause distortion when working at low potential, resulting in irreversible capacity decay; the material's structural evolution is complex during the redox reaction, and P2-O2 phase transition is prone to occur when working at high potential, resulting in poor cycle and rate performance; high potential operation is prone to cause serious material / electrolyte side reactions, causing dissolution of electrode materials and continuous consumption of electrolyte; when the material is stored in the air, Na2CO3 or NaHCO3 compounds are easily formed on the surface, which damages its capacity, cycle and rate performance, and increases storage and transportation costs.

[0084] Comparative Example 3

[0085] The only difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the metal oxide is not coated, and other conditions and parameters are exactly the same as those in Example 1.

[0086] Performance testing:

[0087] The positive electrode materials obtained in the examples and comparative examples were used to prepare button batteries. The specific preparation method was as follows: a slurry was applied at a ratio of 90 (main material): 5 (polyvinylidene fluoride PVDF): 5 (conductive agent acetylene black) to form a pole piece, a metal lithium sheet was used as a counter electrode, the diaphragm model was Celgard 2500, and a 1 mol / L lithium hexafluorophosphate solution of ethylene carbonate (EC) and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) (the volume ratio of EC to DMC was 1:1) was used as the electrolyte. CR2032 button batteries were assembled in an argon glove box (wherein water <0.01 ppm and oxygen <0.01 ppm). Finally, the batteries were placed in a blue electric test system for electrical performance testing.

[0088] The electrical performance test conditions are as follows: charge and discharge voltage range 2.0V-4.8V, test temperature 25°C, 0.1C / 0.1C cycle for 1 week to test the initial charge and discharge capacity of the battery, and use this to calculate the first efficiency, and 1C / 1C cycle for 50 weeks to test the cycle performance of the battery. The results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0089] Table 1

[0090] As can be seen from Table 1, from Examples 1-3, the first efficiency of the battery made of the modified P2-type sodium battery positive electrode material described in this application can reach more than 83.4%, the first discharge capacity can reach more than 112.9 mAh / g, and the capacity retention rate after 50 cycles can reach more than 98.3%.

[0091] By comparing Example 1 with Examples 4-5, it can be seen that during the preparation process of the modified P2-type sodium-based positive electrode material described in the present application, the concentration of the cobalt salt solution will affect its performance. When the concentration of the cobalt salt solution is controlled at 0.3 to 0.6 mol / L, the performance of the sodium-based positive electrode material obtained is better. If the concentration of the cobalt salt solution is too high, the performance of the sodium-based positive electrode material will be reduced. If the concentration of the cobalt salt solution is too low, the coating effect will not be achieved.

[0092] By comparison of Example 1 and Examples 6-7, it can be seen that in the preparation process of the modified P2-type sodium-type positive electrode material described in the present application, the mass ratio of the sodium-type positive electrode material and polydopamine will affect its performance. The mass ratio of the sodium-type positive electrode material and polydopamine is controlled at 500 to 1000:1, and the performance of the sodium-type positive electrode material is better. If the amount of polydopamine added is too high, the stability of the positive electrode material will decrease. If the amount of polydopamine added is too low, its effect is not significant, but the performance of the sodium-type positive electrode will be reduced.

[0093] By comparing Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that the present application adjusts the type of feed in the coprecipitation process to coat cobalt on the surface of the nickel-manganese precursor, thereby obtaining a microstructure of a P2-type manganese-based layered oxide, constructing microchannels that are conducive to electron / ion transmission, and thus improving its electrochemical performance.

[0094] By comparing Example 1 with Comparative Examples 2-3, it can be seen that the present application coats the surface of the material with carbon material or oxide to prevent the material from absorbing CO2 and H2O, prevent the dissolution of metal ions, and improve the electrical conductivity and ion transmission efficiency, thereby improving its cycle stability.

[0095] The applicant declares that the above is only a specific implementation method of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Technical personnel in the relevant technical field should understand that any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by technical personnel in the relevant technical field within the technical scope disclosed in this application fall within the protection scope and disclosure scope of this application.
