Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electrochemical materials and their applications, in particular to a preparation and application method of a reduced dye electrochemical reduction dyeing electrode. BACKGROUND

[0002] In traditional textile dyeing and finishing processes, a large amount of energy and chemical auxiliaries are consumed, and there are serious problems such as complex process, large wastewater discharge and environmental pollution. Therefore, people began to try to use electrochemical technology to innovate and replace the process, and to solve the long-standing problems in the dyeing, finishing and wastewater decolorization processes of traditional textiles, aiming to open up a new path for the ecologicalization of textile dyeing and finishing technology.

[0003] At present, electrode materials play a key role in electrochemical technology, and their performance directly determines the treatment effect of electrochemical technology. Carbon nanotubes and graphene materials are good electrode materials. Carbon nanotubes and graphene are important members of the carbon nanomaterial family with six aromatic structures, and have excellent properties such as excellent mechanical strength, high carrier mobility, high thermal and electrical conductivity, and large specific surface area. Therefore, graphene and carbon nanotubes are widely used in energy storage, transistor devices, sensors and other fields.

[0004] At present, the traditional technology applies carbon nanotubes to the surface of metal by first preparing carbon nanotubes and then transferring them to the metal substrate. This transfer process can cause damage to the carbon nanotubes. Therefore, growing carbon nanotubes directly on the surface of metal has always been a technical challenge. In recent years, although the technology of growing carbon nanotubes on the surface of metal has been developed and improved, for example, the Chinese authorized patent with the publication number CN104036878B, "Preparation method of graphene and carbon nanotube three-dimensional structure material", includes the following steps: (1) preparing a growth substrate of graphene; (2) growing graphene on the growth substrate of graphene prepared in step (1) by using chemical vapor deposition method; optionally, (3) transferring and patterning the graphene; (4) preparing a carbon nanotube growth catalyst; (5) growing carbon nanotubes. Although this preparation method can obtain an in-situ grown graphene and carbon nanotube three-dimensional structure, there are still some problems, such as low utilization rate of the interface contact area between the metal and the carbon nanotubes, and therefore it does not meet the existing needs. Therefore, we propose a preparation and application method of a reduced dye electrochemical reduction dyeing electrode. SUMMARY
