The invention discloses a multi-cavity
mesoporous carbon nanosphere battery material and a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
ion batteries, the method comprises the following steps: mixing a cosolvent and a surfactant, and stirring until the cosolvent and the surfactant are dissolved; adding a
carbon source monomer, and stirring until dissolving; adding a pore-
foaming agent, and stirring to form a suspension; and finally, adding a
hydrogen bond catalyst, and after the stirring reaction is finished, washing, freeze-
drying and carbonizing to obtain the multi-cavity
mesoporous carbon nanosphere battery material. The problems of poor
micelle stability and low
repeatability of a traditional soft template method are solved through cooperative regulation and control of
catalysis of the
hydrogen bond catalyst and precise
assembly time. By simply controlling the reaction time, a product with the multi-cavity structure reaching 65.3%-92.5% is stably and repeatedly prepared and far exceeds 31.7% of that of a non-catalytic
system, and precise customization of the
microstructure of the material is achieved. The multi-cavity structure can better buffer the
volume change caused by
sodium ion intercalation / deintercalation in the charging and discharging process, and is beneficial to maintaining the
structural integrity of the
electrode material.
