Description

Alkali metal secondary battery negative electrode active material and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of electrochemical power sources, and particularly relates to an alkali metal secondary battery negative electrode active material and a preparation method thereof.
Background
In recent years, with the popularization of energy storage systems such as electric vehicles and smart grids, people have more urgent needs for high-energy-density secondary battery systems. The alkali metal secondary battery mainly includes a lithium ion secondary battery, a sodium ion secondary battery, and the like. The lithium ion secondary battery has the advantages of high voltage, high capacity, high power density, long cycle life, no memory effect and the like, and is widely applied to the fields of portable electronic equipment, electric automobiles, national defense industry, portable electronic equipment and the like. However, the lithium ion secondary battery has problems of high cost, short service life, potential safety hazard and the like, and in addition, the storage of lithium resources is very limited, so that the large-scale application of the lithium ion secondary battery is limited to a great extent.
The research on the sodium ion secondary battery is started almost at the same time as the lithium ion secondary battery, but its development is very difficult. As early as the eighties of the last century, research on positive and negative electrode materials of sodium ion secondary batteries has been conducted, but almost all of the attempts have been disappointed. The main reason is that the early anode and cathode material systems related to the sodium storage reaction are mostly simply transplanted with the material structure successfully applied in the lithium ion secondary battery, and the special requirements of the sodium storage reaction on the main crystal lattice structure are not fully considered.
The main reported negative electrode materials of alkali metal secondary batteries mainly include alkali metals, amorphous carbon materials, graphitic carbon materials, alkali metal alloys and metal oxides. Alkali metals as negative electrode materials are prone to generate dendrites during charge-discharge cycles, thereby causing safety problems such as short circuits. The electrochemical performance of graphite carbon materials as negative electrodes of lithium ion secondary batteries is greatly related to the degree of graphitization, and graphite cannot be used as a carbon negative electrode for sodium ion batteries due to the problem of interlayer spacing. The amorphous carbon material has the best sodium storage effect, but the specific surface area degree has great influence on the electrochemical performance. When the alkali metal alloy is used as the cathode of the alkali secondary battery, the volume expansion is large, and the circulation stability is poor. The problems of serious volume expansion, low electronic conductivity and unstable cycle of the metal oxide used as the cathode of the alkali secondary battery also occur.
Titanium dioxide is a potentialThe alkali metal secondary battery cathode material has the advantages of low working voltage, good chemical stability, high natural abundance and low cost. The titanium dioxide has a multi-dimensional tunnel structure, can be embedded with alkali metal ions and used as a cathode material, and TiO with different tunnel structures2Exhibit different sodium intercalation or lithium intercalation properties. Huang (J.P.Huang, D.Yuan, H.Z.Zhang, Y.L.Cao, G.R.Li, H.X.Yang, X.P.Gao, Electrochemical sodium storage of TiO2(B)nanotubes for sodium ion batteries[J]RSC Advances,3(2013) 12593-12597), etc. prepared layered monoclinic phase TiO2(B) The (001) crystal face of the nanotube has 0.56nm interlayer spacing, is suitable for the intercalation and deintercalation of sodium ions, and has 80mAh g at 3.0-0.8V-1The reversible specific capacity of (a). Wu (l.m.wu, d.brewer, d.buchholz, g.a.gifin, c.r.castro, a.ochel, s.passerini, underfolding the Mechanism of Sodium insert in enzyme TiO2Nanoparticles[J]Adv. energy Mater.,5(2015) 1401142), et al prepared anatase TiO2Can realize 0.41Na (140mAh g)-1) The low ion diffusion rate and low intrinsic electron conductivity limit their performance. In addition, anatase titanium dioxide is considered a zero strain material during lithium deintercalation. Transition metal oxides such as ferroferric oxide are a kind of secondary battery negative electrodes with conversion reaction, have the characteristics of high theoretical capacity, environmental friendliness and the like, but have the problem of poor cycle performance due to collapse of volume expansion structures in the electrochemical reaction of lithium or sodium intercalation and deintercalation. Therefore, the search for a negative electrode material with stable structure, high capacity, high coulombic efficiency, good cycling stability and low price is the key of the alkali metal secondary battery in energy storage and practical application.
