掺镧普鲁士蓝正极材料的储钠性能与机制

Sodium Storage Performance and Mechanism of Prussian Blue Doped Cathode Materials

  • 摘要: 普鲁士蓝类似物(PBAs)因其开放的三维框架,在钠离子电池正极领域极具潜力,但其应用受限于晶体缺陷和结构稳定性差的问题。针对此问题,本文提出间隙(A)位点掺镧(La)策略,以硝酸镧/硝酸镉为原料、柠檬酸钠为络合剂,通过离子交换法制备LaCdFe-PBAs正极材料。利用非原位X射线衍射(XRD)、电感耦合等离子体发射光谱(ICP-OES)和X射线光电子能谱(XPS)等技术,研究La掺杂对材料晶体结构、储钠性能及电化学反应机制的影响。结果表明:与未掺杂的CdFe-PBAs相比,LaCdFe-PBAs在1 A•g−1下比容量达180 mAh•g−1,即使在20 A•g−1下仍保持35 mAh•g−1,展现出优异的倍率性能;在10 A•g−1的电流密度下循环3 000圈后,容量保持率仍达73.5%,展现出优秀的长循环寿命。电化学动力学分析表明,La掺杂赋予了材料快速的离子反应动力学和高度可逆的充放电特性。机制研究发现,循环过程中电解液中的Fe3+能有效稳定材料内部结构,抑制La的持续溶解,并诱导晶体从六角晶系向立方晶相转变,从而显著提升了结构稳定性。进一步地,以LaCdFe-PBAs为正极,活性炭(AC)为负极,构建AC//LaCdFe-PBAs ASIC器件,其最高能量密度达63.5 Wh•kg−1,功率密度达8 064 W•kg−1,且在10 A•g−1下循环1 000圈后容量保持率约为70%。本研究提出的间隙位点La掺杂策略为解决PBAs正极材料的结构稳定性难题提供了新思路,对开发高比能、长寿命的钠离子电池正极材料及推动低成本、高性能储能系统的发展具有重要意义。

     

    Abstract: Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) exhibit great potential as cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries due to their open three-dimensional framework, but their applications are limited by crystal defects and structural stability issues. To address this issue, a strategy of doping lanthanum (La) into the interstitial (A) sites was proposed in this paper. LaCdFe-PBAs cathode materials were prepared via an ion-exchange method using lanthanum nitrate/cadmium nitrate as raw materials and sodium citrate as a complexing agent. The effects of La doping on the crystal structure, sodium storage performance, and electrochemical reaction mechanism of the materials were investigated by means of ex-situ X ray diffraction (XRD), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), and X ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results indicate that, compared to the undoped CdFe-PBAs, a specific capacity of 180 mAh·g−1 is delivered by LaCdFe-PBAs at 1 A•g−1, and a capacity of 35 mAh•g−1 is still maintained even at 20 A·g−1, demonstrating excellent rate performance. After 3 000 cycles at a high current density of 10 A•g−1, a capacity retention rate of 73.5% is still achieved, exhibiting an outstanding long-term cycling life. Electrochemical kinetic analysis reveals that fast ion reaction kinetics and highly reversible charge-discharge characteristics are endowed by La doping. Mechanistic investigations reveal that during cycling, the internal structure is effectively stabilized by Fe3+ from the electrolyte, the continuous dissolution of La is inhibited, and a phase transformation from a hexagonal to a cubic crystal system is induced, thereby significantly enhancing the structural stability. Furthermore, an AC//LaCdFe-PBAs ASIC device is constructed with LaCdFe-PBAs as the cathode and activated carbon (AC) as the anode, for which a maximum energy density of 63.5 Wh•kg−1 and a power density of 8 064 W•kg−1 are achieved, and a capacity retention rate of approximately 70% is maintained after 1 000 cycles at 10 A•g−1. The interstitial site La doping strategy proposed in this study is suggested to provide a new approach for solving the structural stability challenge of PBA cathode materials, and it is of great significance for the development of high-energy-density, long-life sodium-ion battery cathode materials and the promotion of low-cost, high-performance energy storage systems.
