The invention relates to the technical field of
sodium-
ion batteries, in particular to a preparation method of an
epoxy resin-based hard carbon material based on assistance of iodized
metal salt and application of the
epoxy resin-based hard carbon material as a
sodium-
ion battery negative
electrode material. The hard carbon material with excellent electrochemical performance is prepared by uniformly mixing the iodized
metal salt and the
epoxy resin and carrying out the steps of pre-
sintering, high-temperature
pyrolysis and the like. By utilizing the unique
pyrolysis property of iodized
metal salt, the surface defect construction and internal pore structure regulation and control of the epoxy resin-based hard carbon are synchronously realized in the heating process: the iodized metal salt is easily combined with
oxygen-containing gas generated by
pyrolysis of epoxy resin to generate metal
oxide and
iodine simple substance, and the characteristic that
iodine is easy to sublimate is combined; the
iodine vapor continuously volatilizes to etch the carbon surface so as to increase
sodium ion adsorption active sites, and meanwhile, the metal
oxide effectively regulates and controls the internal pore structure of the hard carbon through a carbon thermal reduction reaction at a high temperature. The hard carbon material is used as a
sodium ion battery negative
electrode material, and shows high specific capacity, excellent rate capability and long cycle stability.
