Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of material science and nanotechnology, in particular to a high-stability two-dimensional nanomaterial aerogel and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous breakthroughs in science and technology and the cross-fusion of multiple disciplines, two-dimensional nanomaterials and aerogels, with their unique physical and chemical properties, are gradually moving from the field of frontier scientific research to the key stage of industrial application, becoming the core force driving the transformation of material science and the development of emerging industries.

[0003] In the field of material science, nanosheets, as a kind of two-dimensional material with a thickness of nanometers and a lateral size of microns or even millimeters, have attracted much attention due to their unique physical and chemical properties and are widely used in energy, electronics, biomedicine and many other fields. The unique advantages of nanosheets are first reflected in their high specific surface area. Due to the nanometer-level thickness, two-dimensional nanomaterials have a very large specific surface area. This means that the material has more surface active sites, which can fully contact other substances, thus exhibiting excellent performance in catalysis, adsorption and other fields. Secondly, nanosheets have outstanding mechanical properties, combining excellent flexibility with relatively high strength. Despite their thinness, they are usually very strong, which not only significantly improves the mechanical properties of composite materials, but also maintains the lightweight of the materials. In addition, the atomic-level thinness of nanosheets also endows them with special properties. This ultra-thin structure of only a few atomic layers or even a single atomic layer produces a unique quantum confinement effect. Under the effect of this effect, the wave functions of electrons and holes are confined within the two-dimensional plane, making the optical and electrical properties of nanosheets significantly different from those of other materials, exhibiting higher photoelectric conversion efficiency and more excellent carrier transport performance.

[0004] Aerogels are also a very distinctive material, which has a nanoporous network structure. This unique structure gives it a variety of advantages. Aerogels have very low density, are one of the lightest solid materials in the world, and are of great value in applications that require weight reduction. Their specific surface area is also very high, usually reaching hundreds or even thousands of square meters per gram. This property endows aerogels with strong adsorption capacity, allowing them to fully contact external substances, which can be used to adsorb various gases, liquids and impurities, and also as high-performance battery electrode materials. The high specific surface area helps to improve the activity and conductivity of the electrode material, thereby enhancing the charge and discharge performance and cycle life of the battery. At the same time, the nanoporous structure inside the aerogel makes it have very low thermal conductivity, with excellent thermal insulation performance, widely used in high-temperature insulation, building insulation, aerospace and other fields.

[0005] If the advantages of two-dimensional materials and aerogels are fully combined, the two-dimensional material aerogels developed will have more unique physical and chemical properties and open up more extensive application scenarios. However, although certain progress has been made in material preparation technology, the preparation of aerogels still faces many complex difficulties. On the one hand, there is a great limitation in material selection. The key to building a three-dimensional network structure of aerogel lies in the chemical activity of the material surface, especially the presence of functional groups. The material forms a whole through the chemical bonding interaction of the surface functional groups, and has an impact on the material structure and mechanical properties, which leads to a large number of materials lacking out-of-plane functional groups that cannot be used to make aerogels. Taking two-dimensional material graphene oxide as an example, a large number of out-of-plane functional groups are generated during the preparation process. Through the chemical bonding of these functional groups, aerogel can be successfully formed. On the other hand, the preparation process of aerogel has very strict requirements for reaction conditions. Any improper control of temperature, pH value, reactant concentration, etc. can easily lead to uneven gel or precipitation. At the same time, there is also the problem of high preparation cost.

[0006] In summary, it is urgent to further develop low-cost and environmentally friendly preparation processes to promote the industrial scale development. How to develop a more universal method to make two-dimensional materials into aerogels, and how to prepare two-dimensional nanosheet aerogels with low cost, mass production and good stability are the main problems currently faced by the field. SUMMARY

[0007] The purpose of the present application is to provide a high-stability two-dimensional nanomaterial aerogel and a preparation method thereof to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides the following solutions.

[0009] The present application provides a preparation method of a two-dimensional nanomaterial aerogel, comprising the following steps:

[0010] (1) freezing a water solution of two-dimensional nanomaterials to obtain a frozen tissue, and freeze-drying the frozen tissue to obtain a foam structure;

[0011] (2) soaking the foam structure in an ionic solution, and then freeze-drying to obtain the two-dimensional nanomaterial aerogel.

[0012] As a further preferred embodiment of the present application, the two-dimensional nanomaterials include titanium dioxide nanosheets, manganese dioxide nanosheets, tantalum oxide nanosheets or MXenes nanosheets.

[0013] As a further preferred embodiment of the present application, the ionic solution comprises a salt solution, a base solution or an acid solution; the salt solution comprises a sodium chloride solution, a potassium chloride solution or a copper nitrate solution; the base solution comprises a lithium hydroxide solution; the acid solution comprises a hydrogen chloride solution.

[0014] As a further preferred embodiment of the present application, the concentration of the ionic solution is 0.5-3 mol / L.

[0015] As a further preferred embodiment of the present application, the soaking time in step (2) is 10-30 min.

[0016] As a further preferred embodiment of the present application, the concentration of the aqueous solution of the two-dimensional nanomaterial is 5-50 mg / mL.

[0017] As a further preferred embodiment of the present application, in step (1), the preparation method of the aqueous solution of the two-dimensional nanomaterial comprises the following steps: mixing the two-dimensional nanomaterial with water, and stirring to obtain the aqueous solution of the two-dimensional nanomaterial; wherein the stirring temperature is 20-40℃.

[0018] As a further preferred embodiment of the present application, the rotation speed during mixing is 300-500 rpm, and the time is 1-3 h.

[0019] The second technical solution of the present application provides the two-dimensional nanomaterial aerogel prepared by the above preparation method.

[0020] In the preparation of aerogels, the chemical activity of the material surface, especially the presence of functional groups, is the key to building a three-dimensional network. For materials such as ceramic two-dimensional materials and MXenes two-dimensional materials that lack surface functional groups, it is difficult to form stable cross-linking structures, and using them as aerogel materials faces unique challenges. This is because the usual ceramic two-dimensional materials and MXenes two-dimensional materials have surface charges, which mainly result from the combined effects of multiple factors such as surface crystal structure defects and environmental interactions. Through the charged properties of nanosheets, the present application introduces corresponding ions to interact with the charged nanosheets, so that the ions in the solution and the loose nanosheets are combined through ionic bonds to form a highly stable two-dimensional nanomaterial aerogel. At the same time, through the electrostatic repulsion of the surface charge of these two-dimensional materials, a stable and uniform nanosheet dispersion liquid is formed during the preparation of the aerogel, which prevents the agglomeration of two-dimensional materials and thus forms a structure-uniform aerogel.

[0021] The two-dimensional nanomaterial is used as a raw material, compared with other aerogel materials, has the advantages of small unit size, large specific surface area, higher surface activity and the like. The two-dimensional nanomaterial aerogel is prepared by dispersing two-dimensional material nanosheets in an aqueous solution, freezing to obtain a frozen tissue, and then performing freeze drying to form a uniform foam structure, and then using a corresponding salt, acid or alkali solution to form a high-stability two-dimensional nanomaterial aerogel through ionic bonding, and the preparation method is simple and convenient.

[0022] The two-dimensional nanomaterial aqueous solution is first frozen to obtain a frozen tissue, which is a prerequisite for subsequent freeze drying, and then the frozen solid tissue is freeze-dried to remove water to obtain a foam structure interwoven by two-dimensional nanosheets. In the freezing process, the water in the solution forms ice crystals, and the nanosheets are pushed into the ice crystal gaps. When freeze-drying is performed, the ice crystals directly sublimate, leaving a pore network interwoven by nanosheets, i.e., a foam structure. If freezing is not performed, direct water removal will cause the nanosheets to collapse or agglomerate, and the foam structure interwoven by the nanosheets cannot be formed.

[0023] In the present application, the nanosheet density and spacing can be accurately controlled by adjusting the solution concentration, volume and other parameters to realize the designability of the aerogel structure.

[0024] The present application has the following technical effects:

[0025] The present application breaks through the limitations of material selection and complex process in traditional aerogel preparation, and provides a simple, efficient and low-cost preparation method. By constructing a two-dimensional nanomaterial foam structure and introducing an ionic bond crosslinking mechanism, a high-stability aerogel is formed by ionic bond combination of two-dimensional nanomaterials.

[0026] The present application combines the high specific surface area, quantum confinement effect and many other characteristics of two-dimensional nanomaterials, as well as the excellent performance and unique application mode of the aerogel structure itself, greatly broadening the application scenarios of two-dimensional nanomaterials and laying a technical foundation for large-scale production in the fields of energy and aerospace.
