The invention discloses a method for testing the cycle performance of a hard carbon negative
electrode material and application, and belongs to the technical field of
sodium-
ion batteries. The method for testing the cycle performance of the hard carbon negative
electrode material comprises the following steps: S1, preparing a to-be-tested hard carbon material into a negative
electrode plate, laminating a positive electrode plate, a diaphragm, the negative electrode plate and a
reference electrode, and injecting an
electrolyte to prepare a three-electrode battery; s2, discharging the three-electrode battery to a
cut-off
voltage at a current of 0.5-1 C, and then discharging the three-electrode battery to the
cut-off
voltage at a current of 0.01-0.1 C; and S3, charging the three-electrode battery, and recording the minimum potential value of the negative electrode relative to the
reference electrode and the SOC of the corresponding battery when the potential of the negative electrode is zero. According to the test method provided by the invention, the three-electrode battery is used for testing, the
reference electrode is introduced to monitor the real potential of the negative electrode in the charging process of the battery, and the cycle performance of the hard carbon negative
electrode material is judged according to the lowest potential of the negative electrode, so that the test period is shortened, and the research and development time of the
sodium ion battery is saved.
