TiO2/Co3O4共掺杂的构型策略对O3-型NaNi0.4Fe0.2Mn0.4O2阴极材料的稳定性研究以及其增强的长循环及倍率性能

摘要: 近年来,相比于锂离子电池,钠离子电池因其丰富的地壳储量、较低的生产成本和更好的低温性能而受到广泛关注,尤其是钠离子电池同样适合规模化的开发和生产。在众多钠离子电池的众多正极材料中,O3型NaNi0.4Fe0.2Mn0.4O2(NFM424)虽具有高容量和易合成的优点,却因钠离子半径大、静电作用强而导致结构退化及离子动力学缓慢。为解决这些问题,本研究提出结合TiO2与Co3O4的构型策略,用简单的高温固相法来提升电极材料的结构和电化学稳定性。同时采用XRD,SEM,TEM及TGA/DSC对合成的材料进行表征,采用各种电化学手段对电池进行测试。由此制得的NaNi0.4Fe0.2Mn0.3Co0.05Ti0.05O2(NFMCT)正极材料有效抑制了Jahn-Teller畸变和钠离子/空位有序化,同时增强了相结构完整性和离子扩散路径。通过高温固相法合成的NFMCT材料在1  C倍率下循环550次后容量保持率达93.7  mAh·g–1,并在2  C和5  C高倍率下表现出优异的性能。这些发现深化了对多元素氧化物构型策略的理解,为设计高性能钠离子电池正极提供了实用方案。

 

Understanding of TiO2/Co3O4-modified configuration strategy for stabilizing O3-type NaNi0.4Fe0.2Mn0.4O2 cathodes with enhanced long-term and rate performance

Abstract: Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have recently gained wildly interest due to the abundance of sodium, lower production costs, and better low-temperature performance compared to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Among various cathode materials of SIBs, O3-type NaNi0.4Fe0.2Mn0.4O2 (NFM424) demonstrates high capacity and ease of synthesis, yet suffers from structural degradation and sluggish Na+ kinetics caused by large ionic radius and strong electrostatic interactions. To overcome these issues, a configuration strategy combined with TiO2 and Co3O4 by a simple solid-state reaction method was introduced to improve structural and electrochemical stability. XRD, SEM, TEM, and various electrochemical characterizations as well as TGA/DSC tests were conducted. The resulting NaNi0.4Fe0.2Mn0.3Co0.05Ti0.05O2 (NFMCT) cathode mitigated Jahn-Teller distortions and Na+/vacancy ordering while enhancing phase integrity and diffusion pathways. The obtained NFMCT maintained 93.7 mAh·g−1 after 550 cycles at 1 C, with superior rate capabilities at 2 C and 5 C. These findings deepen the understanding of configuration strategy by using multi-element oxide and highlight a practical strategy for designing high-performance SIB cathodes.
