Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of supercapacitor carbon materials. Specifically, it is a method for preparing supercapacitor carbon materials by using bio-oil-derived hydrothermal carbon. Background Art

[0002] A supercapacitor, also called an electric double-layer capacitor, is a new type of environmentally friendly energy storage device between a capacitor and a battery. It has both the characteristics of capacitor charge and discharge and the energy storage characteristics of a battery, and no material changes occur during its charge and discharge process. Therefore, it has the advantages of short charging time, good temperature characteristics, long service life, etc., and is currently widely used in industries such as wearable devices and electric vehicles. Since a supercapacitor uses a double-layer structure composed of a carbon porous electrode and an electrolyte to achieve a large capacitance, the carbon material of the carbon porous electrode is the key to affecting the supercapacitor.

[0003] Patent document CN110028050A discloses a method for preparing supercapacitor carbon materials using bio-oil: first, bio-oil is prepared from dry biomass raw materials, then the bio-oil is mixed with a templating agent to obtain a mixture, then the above mixture is carbonized in a tubular furnace to obtain a carbonized product, and finally the carbonized product is ground, pickled, washed and dried to obtain supercapacitor carbon materials. This supercapacitor material has excellent electrochemical properties, but in this document, the prepared bio-oil is directly mixed with the templating agent and then carbonized in a tubular furnace. In an open space, the bio-oil is more likely to be lost in the form of volatile components after heating, resulting in a low yield of its porous carbon, only 9.79% - 17.36% [specifically refer to Table 1 in the embodiment part of patent document CN110028050A], and there is still room for improvement in the specific surface area of its porous carbon. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for preparing supercapacitor carbon materials by using bio-oil-derived hydrothermal carbon, so as to solve the problems of low carbon yield and insufficient specific surface area when using bio-oil to prepare supercapacitor carbon materials in the prior art.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A method for preparing supercapacitor carbon materials by using bio-oil-derived hydrothermal carbon, comprising the following steps:

[0007] Step (1): Place the bio-oil in a reaction kettle for reaction, and sequentially wash and dry the solid product obtained after the reaction. After drying, hydrothermal carbon is obtained;

[0008] Step (2): Place the hydrothermal carbon and the activator in a beaker, add water to the beaker, stir with a magnetic stirrer, and after stirring, transfer it to an oven for drying to obtain a hydrothermal carbon-activator mixture.

[0009] Step (3): Transfer the hydrothermal carbon-activator mixture to a tubular furnace, introduce an inert gas for activation reaction, and after the reaction ends, obtain an activated product.

[0010] Step (4): Grind, wash, and dry the activated product in sequence. After drying, the supercapacitor carbon material is obtained.

[0011] In the above method for preparing the supercapacitor carbon material using bio-oil-derived hydrothermal carbon, in step (1), the bio-oil is fast pyrolysis bio-oil produced by BTG-BTL Company in the Netherlands.

[0012] In the above method for preparing the supercapacitor carbon material using bio-oil-derived hydrothermal carbon, in step (1), the reaction temperature is 240 - 270 °C, the reaction time is 7 - 10 h, and the reaction pressure is 8.5 - 9 MPa; the atmosphere in the reaction kettle is nitrogen to protect the product from oxidation; during the reaction, the rotation speed of the reaction kettle is 280 - 400 r / min. Too low a rotation speed will cause too high a viscous force during the formation of the solid product, making it impossible to continue stirring and resulting in an insufficient reaction, thus affecting the yield of hydrothermal carbon; the solid product is washed with absolute ethanol. Since the unreacted bio-oil can dissolve in organic solvents, absolute ethanol is both economical and has a good washing effect; the drying temperature is 105 °C and the drying time is 12 h, which can not only ensure the full drying of the hydrothermal carbon but also prevent over-drying.

[0013] In the method for preparing supercapacitor carbon materials using bio-oil-derived hydrochar described above, in step (1), the reaction temperature is 250 °C, the reaction time is 8 h, and the reaction pressure is 8.9 MPa; during the reaction, the rotation speed of the reaction kettle is 300 r / min. The present invention selects 250 °C as the reaction temperature for the activation reaction. On the one hand, it is to make the reaction pressure in the reaction kettle under a nitrogen atmosphere reach the condition for the conversion of bio-oil to carbon. If too high a concentration of nitrogen is filled in the reaction kettle, the initial pressure in the reaction kettle will be very high, resulting in the inability to ensure the safety of the reaction process when the temperature rises to the reaction temperature. On the other hand, the formation of hydrochar not only requires a specific pressure but also a certain temperature to form aromatic rings. When the reaction temperature is 250 °C, the reaction pressure is 8.9 MPa, and the reaction time is 8 h, the conversion of bio-oil to hydrochar can be more complete, and a higher hydrochar yield can be obtained. In addition, it was also found in the experiment that the hydrochar prepared under this reaction condition, compared with the hydrochar prepared under other reaction conditions, not only has a higher yield during the subsequent activation reaction with the activator, but also the carbon material generated after activation has a better pore structure and a larger specific surface area.

[0014] In the method for preparing supercapacitor carbon materials using bio-oil-derived hydrochar described above, in step (2): the mass ratio of hydrochar to the activator is 1:(0.8 - 1.5). Too low a carbon-to-alkali ratio [i.e., the mass ratio of hydrochar to the activator] will result in incomplete activation, while too high a carbon-to-alkali ratio will cause the pore structure of the generated activated product to collapse, resulting in a decrease in the specific surface area of the prepared carbon material. The mass ratio of hydrochar to water is 1:(10 - 15); the speed of magnetic stirring is 200 - 300 rpm, and the stirring time is 1.5 - 3 h; the drying temperature in the oven is 65 - 75 °C, and the drying time is 8 - 12 h.

[0015] In the method for preparing supercapacitor carbon materials using bio-oil-derived hydrochar described above, in step (2): the mass ratio of hydrochar to the activator is 1:1, the mass ratio of hydrochar to water is 1:12; the speed of magnetic stirring is 200 rpm, the stirring time is 2 h; the drying temperature in the oven is 70 °C, and the drying time is 12 h; the activator is potassium hydroxide.

[0016] In the method for preparing supercapacitor carbon materials using bio-oil-derived hydrochar described above, in step (3), the flow rate of the inert gas is 450 - 550 mL / min, and it is heated to 600 - 900 °C at a heating rate of 7 - 15 °C / min, and after maintaining the temperature for 0.8 - 1.2 h, it is naturally cooled to room temperature.

[0017] In the method for preparing a supercapacitor carbon material using bio - oil - derived hydrochar described above, in step (3), the inert gas introduced is argon; the flow rate of the inert gas is 500 mL / min, the temperature is raised to 700 °C at a heating rate of 10 °C / min, and after maintaining the temperature for 1 h, it is naturally cooled to room temperature. Under these reaction conditions, a porous carbon with excellent pore structure and large specific surface area can be prepared.

[0018] In the method for preparing a supercapacitor carbon material using bio - oil - derived hydrochar described above, in step (4): The activated product is ground and passed through a 300 - mesh sieve; during washing, first, it is pickled with a 0.2 mol / L hydrochloric acid solution and stirred for 6 h, and the solid obtained after filtration is washed with deionized water until the supernatant is neutral [this can effectively remove related potassium compounds such as potassium hydroxide]; finally, it is dried at 105 °C for 12 h to obtain the supercapacitor carbon material.

[0019] In the method for preparing a supercapacitor carbon material using bio - oil - derived hydrochar described above, in step (1): The bio - oil is fast - pyrolysis bio - oil produced by BTG Company;

[0020] In step (1), the reaction temperature is 250 °C, the reaction time is 8 h, and the reaction pressure is 8.9 MPa; the atmosphere in the reaction kettle is nitrogen; the rotation speed of the reaction kettle during the reaction is 300 r / min; after the reaction, the solid product is washed with absolute ethanol; the drying temperature is 105 °C, and the drying time is 12 h;

[0021] In step (2): The mass ratio of hydrochar to the activator is 1:1, and the mass ratio of hydrochar to water is 1:12; the speed of magnetic stirring is 200 rpm, and the stirring time is 2 h; the drying temperature in the oven is 70 °C, and the drying time is 12 h; the activator is potassium hydroxide;

[0022] In step (3), the inert gas introduced is argon; the flow rate of the inert gas is 500 mL / min, the temperature is raised to 700 °C at a heating rate of 10 °C / min, and after maintaining the temperature for 1 h, it is naturally cooled to room temperature;

[0023] In step (4): The activated product is ground and passed through a 300 - mesh sieve; during washing, first, it is pickled with a 0.2 mol / L hydrochloric acid solution and stirred for 6 h, and the solid obtained after filtration is washed with deionized water until the supernatant is neutral; finally, it is dried at 105 °C for 12 h to obtain the supercapacitor carbon material.

[0024] The technical solution of the present invention has achieved the following beneficial technical effects:

[0025] 1. The method for preparing a supercapacitor carbon material using bio-oil-derived hydrochar provided by the present invention first uses bio-oil as a carbon precursor to synthesize hydrochar in a high-temperature and high-pressure autoclave; then mixes the hydrochar with KOH and performs high-temperature activation in an inert gas to obtain activated carbon; and performs pickling on it, followed by suction filtration, washing with deionized water, and drying to obtain bio-oil-based porous carbon. Compared with traditional biomass-based activated carbon, the hydrochar prepared from bio-oil contains less ash, which can effectively reduce the influence of ash on the electrode material, and the carbon structure after hydrothermal carbonization is relatively soft and is more easily eroded by the activator to form more pore structures, making the product have a higher specific capacitance and excellent rate performance; and first converting bio-oil into hydrochar and then activating the hydrochar to prepare bio-oil-based hierarchical porous carbon has a high carbon yield. The present invention prepares bio-oil-based hierarchical porous carbon with a uniform pore size distribution and excellent electrochemical performance, which can be used as a supercapacitor carbon material.

[0026] 2. The present invention prepares hierarchical porous carbon with a uniform pore size using bio-oil. Compared with traditional high-temperature carbonization, hydrothermal carbonization can be more energy-saving, has a high carbon yield, and the prepared hierarchical porous carbon material exhibits excellent electrochemical performance; using 6M KOH as the electrolyte, at a current density of 1A / g, the specific capacitance of the supercapacitor carbon material prepared by the present invention is as high as 398.7 F / g; under the condition of a large current density of 50A / g, its specific capacitance still reaches a relatively high level, showing excellent rate performance.

[0027] 3. Bio-oil has the characteristics of having too many oxygen-containing functional groups, being difficult to preserve, and being difficult to utilize. The present invention uses hydrothermal carbonization to convert liquid bio-oil into solid hydrochar, and then using the solid hydrochar to prepare a supercapacitor carbon material is innovative; during the carbonization process, the oxygen-containing functional groups of bio-oil can introduce oxygen atoms during the carbonization process to enhance its electrochemical performance.

[0028] 4. The hydrothermal carbonization method of the present invention can convert bio-oil into hydrochar, making the graphitization degree of the prepared hydrochar relatively low, which is beneficial to further modifying and optimizing the pore structure of the hydrochar. The carbon material generated by the activation reaction of the hydrochar prepared by the method of the present invention with the activator has a higher specific surface area and excellent electrochemical performance. In addition, using the hydrothermal carbonization method can avoid the loss of carbon-containing substances caused by the gasification of bio-oil during the heating process. Hydrothermal carbonization can enable carbon-containing substances to participate in a secondary reaction in a closed space, increasing the carbon yield of the prepared product.

[0039] Step (1): Place 60 g of bio-oil in a high-temperature and high-pressure reactor under a nitrogen atmosphere and react at a temperature of 240 °C for 10 h. During the reaction, the reaction pressure is 8.7 MPa; the rotation speed of the reactor is 350 r / min; after the reaction, the obtained solid product is washed and dried in sequence; when washing, the detergent used is anhydrous ethanol; the drying temperature is 105 °C and the drying time is 12 h; after drying, hydrochar is obtained; the bio-oil in this example is fast pyrolysis bio-oil produced by BTG-BTL Company in the Netherlands; the mass yield of hydrochar in this step is 35.7%;

[0040] Step (2): Place 5 g of hydrochar and 4 g of the activator potassium hydroxide in a beaker, and add 60 mL of deionized water to the beaker; stir using a magnetic stirrer at a magnetic stirring speed of 200 rpm for 2.5 h; after stirring, transfer it to an oven and dry at a drying temperature of 75 °C for 12 h to obtain a hydrochar-activator mixture;
