Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of negative electrode materials of sodium-ion batteries, in particular to a high-performance monodisperse carbon sphere negative electrode material with a special structure and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
In the seventh and eighty years of the twentieth century, research on sodium ion batteries and lithium ion batteries is almost on the same level, however, the successful application of graphite cathodes in lithium ion batteries directly promotes the commercialization process of the lithium ion batteries, the sodium ion batteries still do not realize industrial breakthrough so far, and one of the bottlenecks is lack of suitable practical cathode materials. In recent years, research on sodium ion batteries has been advanced, and research on negative electrode materials has been focused mainly on carbon materials and some non-carbon materials (metals and oxide materials, alloy materials, phosphorus, and the like). The non-carbon material exhibits high storage capacity for both lithium and sodium, but has not been applied on a large scale even in a lithium ion battery with a high degree of commercialization due to problems of low conductivity, large volume change, and easy pulverization. The problems also exist in the sodium ion battery, and the carbon-based material not only has a lower sodium-embedded platform, higher capacity and good cycling stability, but also has the advantages of abundant resources, simple preparation and the like. Therefore, the carbon material is still the key anode material which is hopefully to promote the industrialization of sodium ions.
The main sodium-storing carbon materials with application prospect at present comprise: (1) the soft carbon material mainly refers to a graphite-like carbon material with a layered structure, and mainly stores sodium in an interlayer intercalation mode, so that the conductivity is good, but the specific capacity is low; (2) hard carbon materials, which have complex and various structures, usually have various forms for storing sodium ions, although the capacity is high, the initial coulombic efficiency is low; (3) nanocarbon materials such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, and the like generally rely on surface adsorption to store sodium, and can realize rapid charge and discharge, but problems such as low coulombic efficiency and poor cyclicity make them difficult to be practically used in a short time (zhangwei, zhang, wu si da, and the like. Therefore, the development of a novel carbon-based negative electrode material of the sodium-ion battery is extremely urgent. In addition, the research on the influence relationship of the carbon material structure on the sodium storage performance is still insufficient. Furthermore, carbon materials of the Zhao-shi carbon (Chaoite carbon) structure are currently found only widely in meteorites and the like, and are rare in nature. At present, no method for preparing the Chaoite carbon on a large scale is available.
