Background
In a secondary energy storage system, a lithium ion battery is widely seen in our daily life along with portable electronic products, communication equipment, electric vehicles, and the like, and occupies a major position in an energy market. However, considering the limited resource of metallic lithium, relying solely on lithium ion batteries is far from meeting the future demands of human beings. And the metal sodium and the lithium have similar physical and chemical properties, and the sodium source reserves are more abundant, so that the sodium ion battery can be used as the best alternative of a lithium ion battery, and the important significance is realized in searching for an electrode material which has high specific capacity and can stably remove/insert sodium.
On the basis of the research of a series of lithium ion battery materials, at present, three carbon materials, alloys and oxides are still the more popular negative electrode materials of sodium ion batteries. The silicon alloy material has a theoretical sodium storage capacity of more than 500 mAh/g, however, in the charging and discharging processes, the volume expansion of Si particles is large and the Si particles are easy to crush, so that the capacity attenuation and the cycle performance are poor. The method for improving the performance of the Si-based negative electrode material mainly comprises the steps of carrying out nanocrystallization on Si particles to prepare the SiOx composite material, and coating the SiOx composite material with carbon or using a carbon material as a carrier. Among many carbon materials, ordered mesoporous carbon is favored by researchers due to the advantages of uniform pore diameter, large pore volume, excellent conductivity and the like, and can be used as a buffer system to uniformly disperse active substance particles, so that the volume expansion in the process of sodium intercalation and deintercalation is buffered, and the conductivity and the cycle stability of the material are improved.
The invention prepares mesoporous crystalline Si-amorphous SiO by combining a self-template etching method and a magnesiothermic reduction method2The result shows that the sodium ion battery cathode material has excellent sodium storage performance.
