Currently, lithium ion batteries are the most widely used and studied energy storage batteries, but due to the limited storage capacity of metal lithium, the price is rising year by year, and the requirement of large-scale energy storage technology, the research of sodium ion batteries gradually attracts attention.
From the aspects of cost, energy consumption, resources and the like, the sodium ion battery has great market competitive advantages in the aspect of large-scale energy storage. Since the radius of sodium ions is larger than that of lithium ions, the current research is critical to develop an electrode material capable of stably and rapidly extracting and intercalating sodium ions.
Among many sodium ion battery positive electrode materials, silicate is favored because of its excellent chemical stability, abundant silicon resource, environmental friendliness, and the like, but synthesis of sodium iron silicate is difficult and the synthesis method still has certain limitations.

From comparative examples 1 to 4, it is clear that when Mo, Yb and composite carbon were not doped, the first capacity and cycle stability of the composite electrode material were significantly reduced. It is understood from comparative examples 5 to 6 that when the contents of Mo and Yb are too high, a sharp drop in the performance of the electrode material is caused. From comparative examples 7 and 8, it can be seen that when the electrode material is doped by replacing Mo with Sn or replacing Yb with Ce, the performance improvement of the electrode material is not obvious, which shows that the doped Mo and Yb can generate synergistic effect to effectively improve the electrochemical performance of the sodium iron silicate electrode material. From comparative example 9, it can be seen that when the precursor is directly prepared by one heating treatment (without step treatment), the first capacity and the cycling stability are slightly reduced, which indicates that the step heat treatment process can improve the electrochemical performance of the material to a certain extent.
