Abstract

The invention discloses a universal method for improving stability of a layered oxide anode material of a sodium ion battery by a tunnel functional structure and application of the universal method in the sodium ion battery. According to the invention, partial residual alkali on the surface of the layered oxide matrix material is converted into the tunnel structure interface layer by the tunnel structure in-situ interface conversion technology, so that the tunnel structure interface layer which is intrinsically stable is formed while the residual alkali on the surface of the material is eliminated, the contact between the matrix and humid air is effectively isolated, and the air storage performance of the material is improved. Meanwhile, by means of the layered tunnel interlocking effect, lattice oxygen escape behavior of the matrix under high voltage is inhibited, and energy conversion efficiency is greatly improved. In addition, due to the S-shaped sodium ion transmission channel of the tunnel structure, the sodium ion transmission dynamics and the electrochemical performance of the matrix are improved. The method overcomes the difficulty of storing and transporting the layered oxide anode material and greatly improves the comprehensive performance of the material. Therefore, the method has strong practicability and wide application prospect.

Description

Universal method for improving stability of layered oxide anode material by tunnel functional structure and application of universal method in sodium ion battery
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of energy material preparation and electrochemistry, and particularly relates to a universal method for eliminating residual alkali on the surface of layered oxide by converting a tunnel functional structure and enhancing air stability, structural stability and energy conversion efficiency and application of the universal method in a sodium ion battery.
Background
Currently, sodium ion batteries benefit from a rich reserve of sodium resources and similar properties to lithium ion batteries, which are widely recognized as viable alternatives to lithium ion batteries.
Layered transition metal oxide Na compared to other cathode materials x TMO 2 The positive electrode material (x is more than 0 and less than or equal to 1, TM represents one or more transition metals) has the advantages of simple preparation process, high specific capacity, high ionic conductivity, environmental friendliness and industrial production amplification, and is considered to have very good application prospect. However, in practical applications, some critical technical problems still need to be solved. First, na x TMO 2 The cathode material has poor chemical stability to air, is extremely liable to have performance loss during processing and storage, and is considered to be made of electrochemically inert NaOH or Na 2 CO 3 Is caused by the formation of (a). In addition, these alkaline substances also initiate defluorination of the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) binder, resulting in particle agglomeration and slurry gelation during electrode preparation, greatly impeding its practical feasibility. Secondly, because the radius of sodium ions is larger, the layered oxide positive electrode material is easy to generate a complex phase transition process in the process of sodium ion deintercalation, and the contraction and expansion of the unit cell volume can be caused, so that the transmission dynamics of sodium ions between transition metal layers is greatly influenced. In addition, in order to increase the energy density of the sodium ion battery, the voltage window of charge and discharge is further increased, but in the high voltage state, part of Na x TMO 2 The positive electrode material can have the phenomenon of lattice oxygen escape, so that the capacity attenuation of the positive electrode material is serious. Modification strategies currently available for such materials: such as stabilization of the layered structure by elemental doping, and reduction of interfacial side reactions between the material and the electrolyte by the coating. For example, for the patent application with publication number CN116435508A, a P2 structural substance is disclosedThe coated O3 structure layered metal oxide sodium ion battery anode material and the preparation method thereof are enhanced in air stability, but the problems of residual alkali on the surface, irreversible lattice oxygen behavior under high voltage and the like are not solved. Therefore, the modification method is difficult to realize the improvement of transportation, storage and reaction characteristics of sodium ions at the interface, and difficult to realize the three-in-one stability of air, interface and bulk phase, and is quite unfavorable for industrial production. There is a need for an easy and efficient method for achieving Na x TMO 2 The performance of the positive electrode material is improved in all aspects.
In this regard, we consider tunnel oxides: na (Na) y MnO 2 (0.22.ltoreq.y.ltoreq.0.5) positive electrode material. For Na y MnO 2 Positive electrode material, because of its intrinsic structural stability and air stability, excellent Na due to S-channel for rapid diffusion of sodium ions + Transmission kinetics such that they can exactly complement Na x TMO 2 Defects in the positive electrode material. Therefore, the invention provides a universal method for improving the stability of the layered oxide of the sodium ion battery by using the tunnel functional structure. The method can realize that the residual alkali on the surface is converted into the interface protection layer of the tunnel oxide coated on the surface of the layered oxide material, and can prevent the contact between the external environment and the bulk phase material while eliminating the influence of the residual alkali on the material performance, thereby improving the air stability and interface stability of the material. Second, S-type ion macrochannels and excellent Na using tunnel oxide + And the transmission kinetics improves the sodium ion transmission efficiency of the material. In addition, by means of the layered tunnel interlocking effect, the lattice oxygen behavior of the matrix material under high voltage is optimized, and the energy conversion efficiency is greatly improved. Meanwhile, the universal value of the method is also proved, and the practical value of the method in the industrial development of sodium ion batteries is realized.

As can be seen from FIG. 9, naFe 0.2 Ti 0.2 Mn 0.6 O 2 The positive electrode showed a high voltage hysteresis of 1.1V in the first cycle of 0.1C. The electrochemical properties obtained are shown in Table 1.
Comparative example 2
Compared with comparative example 1, the molar ratio of Na to Fe to Ti to Mn=1.1:0.2:0.2:0.6 in sodium carbonate, ferric oxide, titanium dioxide and manganese oxide in step (1) is replaced by sodium carbonate, ferric oxide and manganese oxide Na to Fe to Mn=0.73:1/3:2/3, the charge-discharge voltage interval is replaced by 2-4.3V to 2.5-4.3V, and the rest steps are unchanged.
Comparative example 3
NaFe obtained in comparative example 1 0.2 Ti 0.2 Mn 0.6 O 2 The positive electrode material was divided into four equal parts, 300 mg was weighed into sample tubes, and then exposed to air for 1, 3, 5, 7 days, after which the exposed material was subjected to structural characterization XRD (fig. 10), electrochemical performance testing (fig. 11, 12), and contact angle testing of the pole pieces (fig. 13). The electrochemical performance characterization of the cells was the same as that of comparative example 1, and the cell performance is shown in Table 2.

TABLE 2 electrochemical Properties of cathode materials after air exposure
As is evident from comparison of examples 1 and examples 3 to 6 and examples 2 and examples 14 to 17, when the molar ratio of the tunnel oxide interface layer material to the layered oxide matrix material is too high, the electrical properties of the materials are poor, and the optimum ratio is 0.05:1. As can be seen from a comparison of examples 1 and examples 7-8 and examples 2 and examples 18-19, the optimum concentration of the precipitant for the oxalic acid solution was 0.02 mol/L. As is evident from comparison of examples 1 and 9-13 and examples 2 and 20-24, the optimum sintering temperature at the time of secondary sintering was 800℃and the optimum sintering time was 15 h.
The electrochemical performance data of comparative example 1, example 25 and comparative example 3, and the characterization data in combination with fig. 1-13, show that the tunnel structure interface modification strategy can not only reasonably utilize the residual alkali on the surface of the layered oxide matrix material to convert into the tunnel structure interface layer, but also effectively block the contact of moist air and the matrix material, and improve the air stability of the material, so that the layered oxide is more suitable for storage, transportation, production and the like. Meanwhile, due to the layered tunnel interlocking effect, the beneficial effects of improving the sodium ion transmission dynamics, the energy conversion efficiency and the comprehensive electrochemical performance of the material can be generated. In addition, as can be seen from the combination of the embodiment 2 and the comparative example 2, the tunnel structure interface modification strategy is expanded from the application in the O3 type layered oxide of the embodiment 1 to the application in the P2 type layered oxide of the embodiment 2, so that a general method for improving the stability of the layered oxide of the sodium ion battery by using the tunnel functional structure is successfully formed, and the prospect of the method in industrial application is further demonstrated.
