摘要

钠离子电池的快速发展需要寻找具有高能量密度、高性能电极材料。在这方面, 不需要额外的导电剂、粘合剂和金属箔集流体的自支撑电极材料可以有效地降低整体电极质量, 从而增加能量密度。通过离子液体辅助静电纺丝方法和可控烧结工艺成功地制造了自支撑Na3V2(PO4)3/C纳米纤维膜。离子液体前驱体的良好溶解性保证了PAN基电纺丝体系的可纺性, 在后续的热处理过程中Na3V2(PO4)3纳米颗粒表面原位形成致密连续的碳层, 有效地提高了整个电极的电子导电性。另外, 作为集流体的三维碳纳米纤维膜可以增加电极和电解质之间的接触面积, 从而提高自支撑NVP/C电极的电化学性能。与其他对应物 (NVP/C纳米纤维和NVP/C纳米颗粒) 相比, NVP/C纳米纤维膜片表现出高比容量、稳定的循环性能和优异的速率能力, 在5.0C条件下放电容量高达75.2 mAh·g−1, 循环寿命超过1000次。本论文的研究成果有望为制备高性能的自支撑钠离子电池电极材料提供一条便捷而通用的途径。
