Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of supercapacitor electrode materials technology, and more specifically to a method for preparing a NiCo2O4 / C / MnO2 ternary electrode material with a nanocage structure. Background Technology

[0002] To address the energy crisis and environmental pollution, the development of renewable and sustainable electrochemical energy storage systems is crucial, and supercapacitors are among the most promising energy storage devices. With their advantages of high power density, fast charging and discharging, long cycle life, and strong environmental adaptability, supercapacitors are playing an increasingly prominent role in transportation (such as hybrid vehicles and rail transit) and portable wearable devices. Their value lies not only in their ability to quickly respond to fluctuations in energy supply and demand, facilitating efficient equipment operation, but also in their ability to work with new energy sources such as wind and solar power to mitigate power generation fluctuations. Furthermore, their production process generates less pollution, and their materials are recyclable, aligning with low-carbon principles and providing strong support for energy transition and the achievement of environmental goals.

[0003] Supercapacitors, with their unique characteristics, have been widely used in numerous fields. These energy storage devices combine high power density, fast charge / discharge rates, and long cycle life, effectively filling the performance gap between traditional capacitors and batteries. Despite these advantages, supercapacitors still face the challenge of relatively lower energy density compared to batteries, which limits their application in scenarios requiring long-term continuous power supply.

[0004] The electrode materials currently used in supercapacitors are relatively insufficient in terms of energy density and their cycle stability is difficult to achieve ideal results. In addition, their energy density is significantly different from the application requirements of large-scale energy storage systems. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct new research and expansion on electrode materials used in supercapacitors, so as to develop products that can solve these existing problems to a certain extent. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a NiCo2O4 / C / MnO2 ternary electrode material with a nanocage structure, thereby obtaining a novel electrode material to address the shortcomings of current supercapacitor electrode materials. The electrode material prepared using this invention exhibits higher energy density, cycle stability, and conductivity compared to current supercapacitor electrode materials, while also demonstrating excellent practical application feasibility, slow self-discharge characteristics, and extremely low leakage current.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the following technical solution is adopted: A method for preparing a NiCo2O4 / C / MnO2 ternary electrode material with a nanocage structure includes the following steps: Step (1): Dissolve nickel chloride hexahydrate and sodium citrate dihydrate in deionized water by ultrasonication to obtain solution A. Dissolve potassium hexacyanocobaltate in deionized water by ultrasonication to obtain solution B. Under continuous stirring, add solution B dropwise to solution A. After the addition is complete, continue stirring the mixture for more than 5 hours to ensure that the reaction is complete. Then, let the mixture stand for aging for more than 7 days. Finally, centrifuge to collect the precipitate, wash and dry it to obtain NiCo-PBA nanocubes. Step (2): The product powder from step (1) is ultrasonically dispersed in ethanol to form solution C. The ammonia solution is diluted with deionized water to obtain solution D. Under continuous stirring, solution C is added dropwise to solution D and the mixture is stirred for more than 5 hours. Finally, the product is separated by centrifugation, washed and dried to obtain the etched hollow structure NiCo-PBA. Step (3): Dissolve glucose in deionized water to obtain glucose solution, disperse the product obtained in step (2) into the glucose solution, age it at room temperature for more than 24 hours, collect the precipitate by centrifugation, wash and dry it, and finally carbonize the product at 350-400℃ for 2 hours under nitrogen atmosphere to obtain carbon-coated hollow structure NiCo2O4, which is NiCo2O4 / C; Step (4): The NiCo2O4 / C prepared in step (3) is immersed in KMnO4 solution and kept at 60°C for 12 hours. After washing and drying, the target product, NiCo2O4 / C / MnO2 ternary electrode material with nanocage structure, is obtained.

[0007] Furthermore, in step (1), the amount of deionized water used in solution A is 25 mL, the amount of nickel chloride hexahydrate is 0.1-0.2 g, and the amount of sodium citrate dihydrate is 0.15-0.2 g; the amount of deionized water used in solution B is 25 mL, and the amount of potassium hexacyanocobalaminate is 0.1-0.2 g.

[0008] Furthermore, in step (2), the concentration of ammonia solution in solution D is 14 mol / L, the amount is 6 mL, the amount of deionized water is 30 mL, and the amount of ethanol in solution B is 10 mL.

[0009] Furthermore, in step (3), the amount of deionized water used in the glucose solution is 40 mL, and the amount of glucose used is 3-5 g.

[0010] Furthermore, the concentration of the KMnO4 solution in step (4) is 0.01 mol / L.

[0011] Meanwhile, the present invention also provides a NiCo2O4 / C / MnO2 ternary electrode material with a nanocage structure, which is prepared by the above-described preparation method.

[0012] Transition metal compounds possess advantages such as multiple oxidation states, abundant electrochemical active sites, and high theoretical specific capacitance and conductivity. In particular, cobalt-based highly active bimetallic oxides, such as Co-MO (M = Ni, Cu, Zn, and Mn), exhibit variable oxidation states, which can further enhance conductivity, promote electron and ion transfer, and thus improve electrochemical activity. Based on this, the purpose of this invention is to develop an electrode material for supercapacitors based on NiCo2O4 and MnO2, exhibiting higher energy density and better cycle stability, to address the current limitations of supercapacitors.

[0013] Specifically, in the above-described scheme of this invention, hollow NiCo2O4 / C / MnO2 nanocages were successfully obtained through controlled etching and hydrothermal methods using NiCo-PBA nanocubes as precursors. In its unique structure, the hollow NiCo2O4 / C / MnO2 nanocages facilitate electrolyte penetration, provide a large accessible specific surface area, and shorten the ion diffusion path, thereby improving electrochemical kinetic performance. The MnO2 loading introduces a significant pseudocapacitance, greatly enhancing the overall specific capacitance of the electrode material. Based on the synergistic effect of these three components, NiCo2O4 / C / MnO2 exhibits ultra-high capacity characteristics, demonstrating satisfactory energy density and cycle stability. This research provides a new approach for constructing hollow nanocage structures with excellent electrochemical performance, which can be used in next-generation energy storage devices.

[0014] Furthermore, the composite electrode material prepared by the above scheme exhibits satisfactory energy density, cycle stability, and ultra-high energy characteristics of hollow NiCo2O4 / C / MnO2 nanocage supercapacitor electrode material.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: The electrode material prepared by the method of the present invention has excellent supercapacitor performance and cycle stability when applied in the field of supercapacitor electrodes. Its capacitance is significantly better than that of various electrode materials widely used in the current field of supercapacitors, and it has a clear competitive advantage in core performance indicators. The preparation method of this invention requires readily available raw materials that do not rely on scarce or high-cost materials. The equipment involved in the preparation process has low cost, and the operation process is simple and easy to implement, which can effectively shorten the production cycle. Based on this, the method has good economic efficiency and operability, laying a solid foundation for its promotion and application in large-scale industrial production. Attached Figure Description

[0041] The method of this invention is obtained by reducing KMnO4 based on Comparative Example 1. Transition metal compounds have advantages such as multiple oxidation states, abundant electrochemical active sites, high theoretical specific capacitance and conductivity, etc., according to the appendix...

The energy density of the example is above 82.5 Wh / kg, and the electrode capacitance is greater than 1450.2 F / g, both of which are superior to the electrode capacitance of the comparative example of 912.0 F / g.

[0042] Tests conducted on various embodiments and comparative examples show that: The electrode prepared by the method of the present invention has significant performance advantages compared with the intermediate material.

[0043] The energy density of each embodiment of the present invention reaches 82.5 Wh / kg or higher; 1 Ag -1 Under these conditions, the electrode capacitance reached over 1450.2 F / g; the impedance Rct (Ω) was over 9.57; the impedance R s (Ω) is above 0.42.

The mixed NiCo2O4 / C / MnO2 electrode exhibits the best charge-discharge channels and abundant ion transport channels, clearly demonstrating a significant improvement in the performance of the composite electrode material.

[0046] Furthermore, when assembling an HSC device based on NiCo2O4 / C / MnO2, at 800Wkg -1 The energy density at that time was 82.5 Wh / kg, according to the attached... Figure 5 It is evident that after more than 8000 cycles, the initial capacitance retention rate still reaches 70.5%, demonstrating excellent cycle performance. After prolonged cycling, the coulombic efficiency remains around 100%, indicating that the charge-discharge process is highly reversible.

[0047] This invention utilizes NiCo-PBA nanocubes as a precursor to successfully obtain a NiCo2O4 / C / MnO2 ternary electrode material with a nanocage structure via controlled etching and hydrothermal methods. The electrode material of the preferred embodiment 2 exhibits a capacitance of 1450.2 F / g at a current density of 1 A / g. This electrochemical performance can be attributed to the large specific surface area and abundant electrochemical activity of NiCo2O4 / C / MnO2. The above comparative results fully demonstrate that the composite electrode material prepared by the method of this invention has excellent performance. The problems of low energy density and cycle stability of the electrode material are fully solved by the method of this invention, which is attributed to the effect of gradually preparing three different component structures on carbon fiber cloth through different steps in the preparation method of this invention.
