Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for preparing vanadium pentoxide nanoribbons with adjustable interlayer spacing, belonging to the field of nanomaterials. Background Technology

[0002] Environmental pollution, climate change, and resource scarcity have severely hampered technological progress and social development. Finding new, low-pollution, high-performance energy sources has become an urgent issue for humanity. Against this backdrop, wind power and photovoltaic power generation have developed rapidly. However, wind and photovoltaic power generation are characterized by instability and intermittency, necessitating the vigorous development of supporting energy storage systems.

[0003] Energy storage, a crucial component of the power system, primarily refers to the storage of energy, specifically the storage of electrical energy in various forms, which can be released when needed, achieving energy transfer over time. Among these, pumped hydro storage and electrochemical energy storage are the most widely commercially available technologies. Electrochemical energy storage, in particular, refers to various secondary battery energy storage systems, such as lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, and aqueous zinc-ion batteries. These systems offer large capacity, fast response, and the greatest development potential. With the rapid decline in costs and the gradual maturation of commercial applications in recent years, the advantages of electrochemical energy storage have become increasingly apparent, gradually becoming the mainstream for new energy storage installations, and there is still significant room for further cost reductions in the future.

[0004] Whether it's lithium-ion, sodium-ion, or zinc-ion battery energy storage systems, their performance, including conversion efficiency, energy / power density, service life, safety, and stability, is all limited by key electrode materials. Therefore, innovative research on electrode materials is crucial.

[0005] Vanadium pentoxide (VPO) cathode is an important battery material with advantages such as high energy density, long cycle life, and high safety, making it widely used in various batteries including lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries. In lithium-ion batteries, VPO reacts with lithium ions to form LiV₂O₅, releasing electrons and ions to generate current. In sodium-ion batteries, VPO reacts with sodium ions to form NaV₂O₅, also generating current. VPO has a high energy density, meaning it can store more energy, extending battery life. It also boasts a long cycle life, capable of withstanding thousands of charge-discharge cycles, further extending battery life. Furthermore, VPO is highly safe, less prone to overheating or combustion, making batteries safer and more reliable.

[0006] The preparation of layered vanadium-based materials has undoubtedly become a research hotspot in the cathode materials of secondary batteries. Over the past few decades, researchers have explored the application of layered vanadium-based electrode materials with different hydrated metal ion intercalation types in aqueous zinc-ion battery cathode materials. The choice of intercalating metal ions has a significant impact on their electrochemical zinc storage performance. Ionic or molecular pre-intercalation strategies can effectively solve problems such as insufficient lattice space and low electronic conductivity in cathode materials, thereby further improving battery performance. Currently published research structures are basically synthesized using hydrothermal methods to synthesize hydrated ion-intercalated V₂O₅ nanostructures. However, hydrothermal methods require sophisticated equipment, are technically challenging, and have poor safety performance, making large-scale industrial production impossible. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Purpose of the invention: The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing vanadium pentoxide nanoribbons with adjustable interlayer spacing.

[0009] In this application, a metal salt is added during the preparation process. The metal ions in this salt are intercalated into the vanadium oxide layer, which plays a role in regulating the interlayer spacing of vanadium pentoxide. The resulting co-intercalated structure of water molecules and metal ions shows that as the concentration of metal ions increases, the number of water molecules intercalated into the interlayer decreases, while the number of metal ions increases, leading to a continuous reduction in the interlayer spacing.

[0010] Furthermore, the metal ion is Li + Na + K + Mg 2+ Ca 2+ Cu 2+ Fe 3+ Co 3+ Ni 3+ Mn 3+ Al 3+ Bi 2+ Cd 2+ Cr 2 / 3+ Ag + Sn 4+ and Zn 2+ One or more of them.

[0012] Furthermore, the vanadium oxide is one or more of V2O5, V2O4, V2O3, VO, or vanadates.

[0013] Furthermore, the electret includes organic material electrets and non-polar material electrets.

[0014] Furthermore, the organic electret material includes one or more of the following: polymethyl methacrylate, polycarbonate, polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoropropylene copolymer, paraffin wax, hard rubber, hydrocarbons, solid acids, or general biopolymers.

[0015] Furthermore, the general biological macromolecules include one or more of polypeptides, polynucleotides, or polysaccharides.

[0016] Furthermore, the electrodeless electret material includes one or more of silicon dioxide, barium titanate, lead zirconate titanate, zinc oxide, tantalum oxide, aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, and silicon nitride.

[0017] Furthermore, the ultrasonic conditions are: ultrasonic frequency of 20KHz to 200KHz; ultrasonic temperature of 40 to 100 degrees Celsius.

[0018] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant advantages: The preparation method of vanadium pentoxide nanoribbons provided by the present invention is simple, low-cost, and suitable for industrial production. This preparation method can control the morphology, crystallinity, and interlayer spacing of vanadium pentoxide nanoribbons by controlling parameters such as the concentration of the intercalating metal ion solution, ultrasonic temperature, and ultrasonic time.
