Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of new energy materials, and particularly relates to one-dimensional antimony phosphate (SbPO)4) Nanofiber materials, and methods of making and using the same.
Background
Currently, lithium ion batteries have been widely used as key energy storage devices for portable electronic products. With the rapid development of society and science and technology, the commercial lithium ion battery using graphite as a negative electrode material cannot meet the development requirements of novel 3C products, new energy electric vehicles and the like in terms of specific capacity and energy density. Meanwhile, the application of lithium ion batteries in large-scale energy storage devices is limited by the current situation that lithium resources are rare in content and uneven in distribution in the earth crust. Compared with a lithium ion battery, the sodium ion battery is similar to a lithium ion battery in the aspects of the composition and the principle of the battery, and the sodium resource has rich reserves in the nature and relatively low extraction cost, so that the sodium ion battery is more suitable for being applied to large-scale energy storage equipment. However, the radius of sodium ions (0.102nm) is larger than that of lithium ions (0.076nm), and the negative electrode material of lithium ion batteries such as graphite is not directly suitable for the sodium ion batteries. Therefore, the research on the high-performance sodium ion battery negative electrode material has great significance for promoting the commercialization process of the sodium ion battery.
The molecular formula of the antimony phosphate is SbPO4The molecular weight is 216.77, and the crystal belongs to a monoclinic system and has a stable layered structure. There have been some studies in the field of batteries, in which stabilized PO4 3-The anion can play a role in buffering volume expansion in the charge-discharge cycle process, and Na generated in the discharge process3PO4Is a fast ion conductor and can promote the reaction kinetics. However, antimony phosphate materials have inherently poor electrical conductivity and tend to expand in volume during charge and discharge cycles. The research shows thatThe problems can be effectively solved by carrying out nano-structure design or carbon coating on the antimony phosphate material.
Chinese patent application No. 201910424184.7 discloses a preparation method of a hair ball shaped antimony phosphate and successfully applied to a lithium ion battery cathode material, which comprises the step of carrying out hydrothermal reaction on a trivalent antimony salt solution and a compound containing pyrophosphate to prepare a hair ball shaped antimony phosphate polyanion composite material. The obtained antimony phosphate is used as a lithium ion battery cathode material, and the cycle performance is good. The Chinese patent application with the application number of 201910844945.4 discloses a preparation method and application of nano acicular antimony phosphate, wherein a soluble antimony salt dispersion liquid and a soluble compound dispersion liquid containing pyrophosphate are subjected to solvothermal reaction to obtain a nano acicular antimony phosphate material. The obtained nanometer needle-shaped antimony phosphate sample is used as a lithium ion battery cathode material, after activation under the current density of 0.1C, constant-current charge-discharge is carried out for 1000 cycles under the current density of 1C, the specific capacity is kept at about 257mAh/g, and the cycle performance is good. Chinese patent application No. 201810687557.5 discloses an SbPO4A synthetic method of/rGO material is applied to a sodium ion battery, glycol is used as a solvent, antimony trichloride and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate are added under a certain condition, and SbPO is prepared by combining a solvothermal method and calcination4(rGO). The obtained SbPO4the/rGO is used as a sodium ion battery cathode material, after activation under the current density of 0.1A/g, the capacity is basically kept unchanged after 1000 circles of constant-current charge-discharge circulation under the current density of 1A/g, and the circulation performance is good. In conclusion, the existing research of antimony phosphate in the cathode material of the sodium-ion battery is insufficient, the antimony phosphate is synthesized by a hydrothermal method, the process of the method is variable, and the size and the shape are difficult to control. In order to synthesize the high-performance sodium ion cathode material antimony phosphate, the one-dimensional antimony phosphate nanofiber is prepared by combining an electrostatic spinning method and a heat treatment process and is used as the sodium ion cathode material, so that excellent electrochemical performance is obtained.
