摘要:

高性能、低成本硬碳的发展对钠离子电池的商业化起到了至关重要的作用。由于沥青具有分布广泛,资源丰富,和成本低廉的特点,被认为是适宜的硬碳前驱体。但因其容量小、电化学反应动力学差,进一步限制了其应用。本文通过混酸的协同作用,成功通过分子内氧化合成了沥青基硬碳纳米片。硫酸的引入有效促进了沥青分子层间结构的膨胀与解离,进而显著增强了硝酸对沥青分子的分子内氧化效率。混酸氧化过程有效地引入了含氧官能团(OFGs),增大了层间距和形成更多纳米多孔结构,从而增加了可逆容量和提高了速率性能。优化后的沥青基硬碳在0.03 A∙g−1的电流密度下,可逆充电容量由115.0 mAh∙g−1提高至304.4 mAh∙g−1,平台容量提高5.5倍。本研究揭示了液相酸氧化对储钠型硬碳结构和组成的影响,揭示了制备低成本、高性能沥青基硬碳的有效方法。

Abstract:

The development of high-performance and low-cost hard carbon plays a crucial role in the commercialization of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Asphalt is considered a suitable hard carbon precursor due to its wide distribution, abundance, and cost-effectiveness. However, its low capacity and poor electrochemical reaction kinetics limit its further application. Herein, we have successfully synthesized asphalt-based hard carbon nanosheets through a process of intramolecular oxidation, facilitated by the synergistic action of mixed acids. The introduction of sulfuric acid plays a crucial role in expanding the tightly packed asphalt molecules, which in turn allows for the intramolecular oxidation of asphalt molecules by nitric acid. This oxidation process effectively introduces oxygen-containing functional groups (OFGs), leading to an increase in interlayer spacing and the formation of a more nanoporous structure, resulting in both enhanced capacity and improved rate performance. The optimized asphalt-based hard carbon boosts reversible capacity from 115.0 to 304.4 mAh∙g−1 at 0.03 A∙g−1, and the plateau capacity is increased by 5.5 times. This work provides a profound understanding of the impact of liquid-phase acid oxidation on the structure and composition of sodium-storage hard carbon, and further unveils an effective method for obtaining low-cost and high-performance asphalt-based hard carbon.
