Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of aerogel preparation, and particularly relates to a CNT@MOF derived carbon aerogel with high elasticity and high efficient thermoelectric conversion and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Nearly half of the global energy consumption is initially from the consumption of thermal energy, 70-85% of the energy is released in the form of waste into the atmosphere, and the effective collection of thermal energy faces great challenges. The thermoelectric conversion technology based on the Seebeck effect is a clean and convenient thermal energy recovery technology for converting thermal energy into electrical energy, and more and more environmentally friendly and low-cost thermoelectric materials have been developed. The porous carbon material prepared by carbonizing the MOF (Metal-Organic Framework, metal-organic framework) with high porosity and highly adjustable composition / structure retains the regular network pore structure and special morphology of the MOF precursor. Moreover, some metal particles in the MOF can provide rich and uniform metal particle doping for the MOF derived carbon material, further improving the performance of the thermoelectric conversion material. However, the agglomeration of the MOF derived carbon material is serious, so the thermoelectric conversion performance is often lost.

[0003] In addition, the limitations of traditional batteries and capacitors as power sources often bring inconvenience due to rigidity and frequent maintenance and charging requirements, so more and more researchers design and study super-elastic thermoelectric conversion materials and devices. High-elasticity thermoelectric materials can convert thermal energy into electrical energy according to the Seebeck effect, and show great potential in providing continuous power for wearable electronic devices. The MOF derived carbon aerogel has excellent structural integrity and mechanical properties, but low elastic strain and irreversible structural collapse seriously limit its application field. The interconnected internal structure composed of micro-scale fibers can alleviate the irreversible structural collapse and improve the elasticity of the aerogel under high strain compression. When sufficient entanglement is generated between the microfibers when assembled into an aerogel, the prepared aerogel will show excellent isotropic elasticity.

[0004] Therefore, it is crucial to develop a carbon aerogel material with high elasticity and high efficient thermoelectric conversion, which guarantees the lightweight and low thermal conductivity of the aerogel material without sacrificing, utilizes one-dimensional flexible carbon nanotubes (CNT) to grow three-dimensional CNT@MOF (CNT is wrapped or embedded in MOF), thereby constructing CNT@MOF derived carbon aerogel material which is not easy to agglomerate and well dispersed, and realizes high elasticity and high efficient thermoelectric conversion through a template construction method. SUMMARY

[0008] The dispersion solution of carbon nanotubes and PVP, the dispersion solution of methyl imidazole and the dispersion solution of the metal salt hydrate are subjected to a normal temperature and pressure reaction.

[0009] The product of the normal temperature and pressure reaction is subjected to centrifugal treatment, washing and vacuum drying treatment to prepare a porous CNT@MOF material.

[0010] The prepared porous CNT@MOF material is subjected to high-temperature heat treatment to obtain a CNT@MOF derived carbon material.

[0011] The CNT@MOF derived carbon material is sequentially mixed with NaCl and PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane), solidified, impregnated and dried to obtain the CNT@MOF derived carbon aerogel.

[0012] Further, the dispersion solution of carbon nanotubes and PVP is prepared by mixing the carbon nanotubes and PVP in methanol. The specific preparation method is that the carbon nanotubes with a diameter of 10-100 nm are dissolved in methanol by ultrasonic method, 2-5 times of PVP in mass of the carbon nanotubes is added, and the solution A, i.e. the dispersion solution of carbon nanotubes and PVP, is obtained by continuing ultrasonic stirring, wherein the mass fraction of the carbon nanotubes is 5%-10%.

[0013] Further, the dispersion solution of methyl imidazole is prepared by dissolving 2-methyl imidazole in a methanol solution. The specific preparation method is that 2-methyl imidazole is dissolved in a methanol solution to obtain the solution B, i.e. the dispersion solution of methyl imidazole, wherein the mass fraction of the dissolved 2-methyl imidazole is 20%-40%.

[0014] Further, the metal salt hydrate dispersion liquid is prepared by dissolving Zn(NO3)2·6H2O and Co(NO3)2·6H2O in methanol. Specifically, Zn(NO3)2·6H2O and Co(NO3)2·6H2O are placed in a beaker, and then methanol is gradually added for dissolution, with stirring during the process. The mass fraction of Zn(NO3)2·6H2O in the obtained mixed solution is 40% to 45%, and the mass fraction of Co(NO3)2·6H2O in the obtained mixed solution is 40% to 45%.

[0016] The dispersion liquid of carbon nanotubes and PVP and the dispersion liquid of methyl imidazole are mixed and then ultrasonically dispersed to obtain a first mixed solution.

[0017] The obtained first mixed solution is poured into the metal salt hydrate dispersion liquid, and ultrasonic stirring is performed to obtain a second mixed solution.

[0018] The second mixed solution is subjected to a normal temperature and pressure reaction.

[0019] Further, the ultrasonic dispersion time is 30 to 60 minutes, and the ultrasonic stirring time is 30 to 60 minutes.

[0020] Further, the normal temperature and pressure reaction is performed at 25°C for 3 to 6 hours.

[0021] Further, the product of the normal temperature and pressure reaction is subjected to centrifugal treatment, washing, and vacuum drying treatment, which includes:

[0022] The product of the normal temperature and pressure reaction is first centrifuged at a speed of 8000 rpm to obtain a white precipitate, and then the white precipitate is washed with 2 to 5 times the amount of methanol, followed by centrifugal treatment. This process is repeated 3 times, with a centrifugal speed of 6000 to 10000 rpm and a time of 2 to 5 minutes each time. The washed white precipitate is vacuum dried to obtain a white powder, with a temperature of 60 to 80°C and a pressure of 0.1 Mpa.

[0023] Further, the high-temperature heat treatment is performed in a nitrogen atmosphere, with a treatment temperature of 800 to 1000°C and a treatment time of 2 to 4 hours. Specifically, the prepared white powder is heated to 800 to 1000°C in a nitrogen atmosphere, and then carbonized at this temperature for 2 to 4 hours to obtain a black CNT@MOF derived carbon powder.

[0024] Further, the mixing, solidification, impregnation and drying of the CNT@MOF derived carbon material with NaCl and PDMS in sequence is to prepare the super-elastic CNT@MOF derived porous carbon aerogel by using the template agent method, and sequentially mixing, solidifying, impregnating and drying four processes. The specific steps are as follows: respectively place the CNT@MOF derived carbon material, NaCl and PDMS in a cylindrical mold and mix thoroughly, and then press the mixture into a dense state, and then solidify in an oven; then immerse the completely solidified mixture in hot water to dissolve the NaCl particles; then put it into an oven for drying to obtain the CNT@MOF derived carbon aerogel. The mass fraction of CNT@MOF derived carbon in the obtained mixture (i.e. aerogel) is 1%-9%, the mass fraction of NaCl in the obtained mixture is 85%-95%, and the mass fraction of PDMS in the obtained mixture is 4%-6%.
