Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparing a flexible bendable membrane electrode from a chitin nano fiber / carbon nanotube composite, which comprises the following steps: a) preparing the chitin nano fiber / carbon nanotube composite from carapace kitchen waste products by a simple chemical-mechanical process; and b) mixing the chitin nano fiber / carbon nanotube composite with a carbon nanotube dispersion solution. The membrane electrode maintains more pore structures, is beneficial to permeation and absorption of the electrolyte, and enhances the electron and ion transfer speed; the chitin nano fibers have higher mechanical strength, and have favorable biocompatibility with the carbon nanotubes, so that the mixture of the chitin nano fibers and carbon nanotubes eliminates the phenomenon of high agglomeration tendency when the chitin nano fibers and carbon nanotubes are used respectively; the chitin nano fibers used as the substrate provide firm attachment and support for the carbon nanotubes, and are a flexible sheet; and in the microscopic view, the two materials are wound and penetrate mutually to form the three-dimensional porous interpenetrating firm network. No adhesive is added, so the membrane electrode has favorable heat stability and flexibility, and can be used as an electrode material for portable electronic products.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing flexible and bendable film electrodes by compounding chitin nanofibers / carbon nanotubes, which belongs to the field of composite electrodes. Background technique [0002] Chitin is the second largest renewable resource in the world next to cellulose in nature. It uses discarded shrimp and crab shells from kitchen waste products as raw materials. pollution, and give full play to the remaining functions of discarded shrimp and crab shells, recycle and regenerate, and turn waste into treasure. [0003] With the development of science and technology, the use of electronic components has entered thousands of households. Electrodes, as energy storage components that have attracted attention in recent years, have the advantages of high energy density and high power density, and have broad application prospects in the future, especially portable Portable electronic equipment, reserve power, etc. At present, all...
