The invention discloses a preparation method of an esterified
modified starch derived hard carbon negative
electrode material and application of the esterified
modified starch derived hard carbon negative
electrode material in a
sodium-
ion battery, and belongs to the technical field of
sodium-
ion battery negative electrodes. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly, carrying out one-step hydrothermal pretreatment on cheap cross-linked-esterified composite
modified starch, and then carrying out one-step high-temperature
carbonization to obtain the spherical hard carbon negative
electrode material. And the compact stacking density formed by the
spherical morphology is beneficial to shortening the
diffusion path of ions and electrons. The acetyl group replaces part of hydroxyl groups in
starch molecules, so that the content of
amylose is reduced, the
structural stability of the
starch is enhanced, and the
sodium storage performance is improved. In addition, the hard carbon negative
pole piece is subjected to sodium pre-treatment through a liquid-phase sodium pre-treatment technology, so that the first efficiency of the battery is improved, and the long-cycle stability is promoted. The preparation process has the advantages of simple steps, simple equipment, good
repeatability, no need of large-scale subsequent treatment, and suitableness for large-scale production.
