Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of nanomaterials technology and new energy materials and devices, and specifically relates to a phosphorus-doped carbon-coated co-modified MXene-based nanocomposite material and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of various convenient smart electronic devices and new energy electric vehicles, the demand for energy storage devices with high efficiency and long service life is increasing. Hybrid supercapacitors (HSCs), by synergistically integrating the advantages of electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC) materials and pseudocapacitive / battery-type materials, have achieved a breakthrough balance between high energy density and high power density, while also possessing long cycle life, making them a research hotspot for next-generation energy storage systems. However, since the positive electrode of HSCs is mostly a pseudocapacitive / battery-type material, energy storage relies on a limited Faraday reaction and ion diffusion process; while the negative electrode is usually an electric double-layer capacitor material, its energy storage is mainly based on surface adsorption, with faster reaction kinetics but limited specific capacity. The difference between the two in terms of capacity and reaction rate leads to a kinetic imbalance problem for HSCs, urgently requiring a high-performance pseudocapacitive negative electrode material to solve the kinetic imbalance problem of HSCs.
[0003] MXene is considered a promising electrode material for HSCs due to its unique two-dimensional structure, controllable interlayer spacing, excellent specific capacitance, high conductivity, and good mechanical stability. However, the instability caused by defects in the original MXene material and the reduction in active specific surface area due to interlayer self-stacking can lead to blockage of ion diffusion channels, reduce the electrochemical accessibility of ions at the layer level, and result in a serious loss of charge storage capacity.
[0004] In recent years, researchers have developed various strategies to address the severe loss of charge storage capacity mentioned above. Among these, heteroatom doping has proven to be a highly effective method for modulating the electronic structure of MXene, alleviating interlayer self-stacking problems, and improving its capacitance performance. Common heteroatom dopants include nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), boron (B), vanadium (V), and cobalt (Co). Among these, phosphorus atoms, with their large atomic radius and low electronegativity, can alter the electron distribution and band structure of materials, reducing charge transport resistance, making them a promising doping atom. However, Ti-based materials containing oxygen surface groups are prone to undergo a phase transition reaction with a phosphorus source (PH3 gas) at high temperatures to form titanium phosphate. This type of metal phosphate, due to its dense and aggregated structure, hinders ion intercalation, thereby reducing the active surface area of the material and ultimately leading to a decrease in capacitance performance. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the problems in existing technologies, this invention provides a phosphorus-doped carbon-coated co-modified MXene-based nanocomposite material (PC-MXene).

Simultaneously, the carbon layer coating the MXene surface effectively prevents the formation of titanium phosphate impurity phases under high-temperature conditions, protecting the material's structural stability. Furthermore, using electrode fabrication processes, this material is fabricated into electrodes for application in electrochemical energy storage devices such as aqueous hybrid supercapacitors.

This successfully constructs an industrial production system that combines excellent economic efficiency and environmental friendliness.
[0042] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments.
[0043] Example 1: 1) Prepare an etchant by adding 2 g LiF to 20 mL of HCl with a mass concentration of 36-38%. Add 1 g Ti3AlC2 to the etchant and etch at 50 °C and 1000 rpm for 1 day. Repeat centrifugation with ultrapure water at 3500 rpm until clean, and collect the lower precipitate to obtain a multilayer MXene nanosheet solution. Sonicate the multilayer MXene solution under an argon atmosphere at 10 °C for 60 minutes, and centrifuge at 3500 rpm for 30 minutes. Collect the upper suspension to obtain a concentration of 6.0 mg / mL. -1 A single / few-layer MXene nanosheet sol solution.
[0044] 2) Take 15 mL of the above sol solution A and add it to 40 mL of alkaline buffer solution and mix well to obtain solution B.

Collect the lower precipitate and vacuum dry it at 60 °C for 10 hours to obtain powder A.
[0045] 3) Place the sodium hypophosphite powder and powder A above in the upstream and downstream sections of a high-temperature tube furnace, respectively, and heat under an argon atmosphere at 2 °C for 1 minute. -1 Annealing at a heating rate of 400 °C for 2 hours yields phosphorus-doped carbon-coated co-modified MXene-based nanocomposite material, defined as powder B.
[0046] 4) Take 100 mg of powder C, 12.5 mg of polyvinylidene fluoride, and 12.5 mg of conductive carbon black powder respectively and place them in a mortar. Add 0.5 mL of N-methylpyrrolidone to the mixed powder and grind until uniform to form a slightly viscous conductive slurry. Coat the conductive slurry evenly on a titanium foil with a thickness of 0.03 mm and transfer it to a vacuum oven to dry at 80 °C for 12 hours. The result is the phosphorus-doped carbon-coated co-modified MXene-based supercapacitor electrode.
[0047] 5) A PC-MXene-based supercapacitor electrode with a diameter of 8 mm was used as the negative electrode, and an electrode with a diameter of 12 mm and a unit area mass of 5 mg / cm² was used as the negative electrode. −2 Activated carbon was used as the positive electrode, and 1 M H2SO4 solution was used as the electrolyte.

Figure 3Compared to the constant current charge-discharge curve of the MXene electrode shown, the phosphorus-doped carbon-coated co-modified MXene-based supercapacitor electrode prepared in Example 1 exhibits a longer discharge time. This is because the three-dimensional open conductive network formed by the polydopamine carbide derivative on the MXene surface reduces the resistance to electron transport within the electrode material; simultaneously, the doped phosphorus can bind with more protons, thereby enhancing the pseudocapacitance and achieving greater charge storage. The phosphorus-doped carbon-coated co-modification strategy not only suppresses the self-stacking of MXene nanosheets, providing continuous electron transport pathways and ion diffusion channels, but also introduces more surface active sites, endowing it with higher specific capacity.
