Polyanionic compounds are the generic names of compounds containing tetrahedral or octahedral anionic structural units (XOm) n- (x= P, S, as, W, etc.). The compound mainly comprises NaMPO 4 (M is a transition metal), naMPO 4 F and sodium fast ion conductor (NaSICON). These structural units are linked into a three-dimensional network structure by strong covalent bonds and form higher coordination voids occupied by other metal ions, so that the polyanion-type compound cathode material has a different crystal phase structure from that of the metal oxide cathode material and various outstanding properties such as higher voltage and stability determined by the structure.
Sodium ferrous sulfate is a typical polyanion type positive electrode material, has higher working voltage, can reach 3.8V generally, can provide excellent energy density, and is worth popularizing and applying.
The iron element in the ferrous sulfate sodium positive electrode material is generally in a +2 valence state. In polyanionic compounds such as sodium ferrous sulfate, the transition metal, iron, accepts electrons during charging and combines with sodium ions to form the compound. During charging, the valence state of the iron element is changed from a lower oxidation state to a high oxidation state so as to attract and intercalate more sodium ions. During the discharge process, the iron element is reduced back to a lower oxidation state, releasing sodium ions embedded in the positive electrode material.

In the dry process, the preparation method of the sodium iron sulfate comprises the following steps: a1, carrying out vacuum drying on ferrous sulfate heptahydrate to obtain anhydrous ferrous sulfate, wherein the vacuum drying is carried out in a vacuum oven, and the temperature of the vacuum drying is 100-300 ℃; a2, adding sodium sulfate and ferrous sulfate into a zirconia ball milling tank according to a certain proportion, adding zirconia balls, and charging nitrogen for protection, and performing ball milling treatment to obtain a precursor; the ball-milling treatment has a ball-material ratio of (50:1) - (1:20), the ball-milling rotation rate is 200-1000r/min, the revolution rate is 100-500r/min, and the ball-milling time is 0.1-24h; and a3, transferring the ball-milled precursor into a box-type furnace, performing heat treatment under the protection of nitrogen, and then crushing the heat-treated product into powder to obtain sodium iron sulfate, wherein the heat treatment temperature is 300-400 ℃ and the time is 0.1-24h. The method is a dry ball milling process, the whole preparation process takes longer time, the materials need to be continuously transferred, and the materials are easy to wet and oxidize during the process, so that gram capacity, cycle performance and charge and discharge performance of the materials are affected.
