This invention discloses a Ningdong
coal-based hard carbon
anode material, its preparation method, and its application, belonging to the technical field of
sodium-
ion battery
anode materials. The invention uses Jurassic
coal from Lingxin Mine, Hongliu Mine, Yangchangwan Mine, and Meihuajing Mine in Ningdong, Ningxia, as the core
raw material. After washing,
beneficiation, and crushing, the raw materials undergo deep
acid washing and
impurity removal using a
hydrochloric acid and
hydrofluoric acid composite
system. The hard carbon
anode material is then prepared through a complete process including two-stage
carbonization under
nitrogen protection,
asphalt surface coating, and
solid-state pre-sodiumization in an
argon atmosphere. The finished product of this invention has an ash content ≤0.5wt%, an initial
discharge capacity ≥320mAh / g, an initial coulombic efficiency ≥89%, and a capacity
retention rate of no less than 80% after 5000 charge-
discharge cycles. This invention solves the industry pain points of low initial coulombic efficiency of Indonesian coconut shell
capacitor carbon and high impurities and poor performance of ordinary
coal-based hard carbon. It features localized
raw material supply, low production costs, and easy large-scale implementation of the process. It can be widely used in liquid and
solid-state
sodium-
ion batteries and aligns with the industrial policy of integrating
coal chemical industry and
new energy development in Ningdong, possessing extremely high economic and promotional value.
