The invention belongs to the technical field of a
sodium ion battery, in particular relates to a quintuple layered
oxide cathode material for a
sodium ion battery and a preparation method of the quintuple layered
oxide cathode material. A single-phase quintuple layered
oxide NaNi<m>Fe<n>Co<x>Mn<y>Ti<z>O2 is obtained by uniformly mixing materials of
sodium carbonate,
nickel oxide,
cobalt oxide,
ferric oxide,
titanium oxide and
manganese oxide (or other precursors of
manganese oxides only can be generated through high-temperature
decomposition) according to stoichiometric ratios, pressing the mixture into a small
wafer and placing the small
wafer in an electric furnace having
oxygen flow and air for high-temperature reaction, wherein m, n, x, y and z are more than 0 and less than 1. When the
electrode material is applied to the
sodium ion battery, the initial specific capacity reaches 128mAh / g, the average
voltage is 3.1V, for Na<+> / Na, the
specific energy can reaches 396Wh / kg, and the capacity
retention ratio of the
electrode after 300 cycles in a 4C rate is 90%. The NaNi<m>Fe<n>Co<x>Mn<y>Ti<z>O2 is high in electrochemical stability, specific capacity, rate performance and cycle performance, and the preparation method is simple and is applicable for the
sodium ion battery.
