Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a high-entropy oxide supercapacitor electrode material, its preparation method, and its energy storage device, particularly a high-entropy transition metal oxide with excellent electrochemical energy storage performance and its composite material with nano-Ag, as well as the application of this composite material in supercapacitors, belonging to the field of supercapacitors. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development and utilization of new energy sources, efficient, clean, and low-cost new energy conversion and storage systems will play an increasingly important role. Electrochemical supercapacitors are a new type of energy storage device, and due to their advantages such as high power density, long cycle life, and high safety, they are gradually being widely used in many advanced technology fields, including new energy. However, compared to commercially available lithium-ion batteries and fuel cells, which have high energy density, supercapacitors have a much lower energy density, which seriously hinders their practical application. Electrode materials are the core of supercapacitors' energy storage capabilities; therefore, the key to developing high-energy-density supercapacitors is to develop electrode materials that combine high energy density and high power density.

[0003] Supercapacitors can be mainly classified into two categories based on their energy storage mechanism: electric double-layer capacitors and pseudocapacitive supercapacitors. The charge storage mechanism of electric double-layer capacitors is similar to that of traditional electrostatic capacitors, which is a purely electrostatic adsorption physical process. In this type of electrochemical system, when the external power supply provides a sufficient charging voltage, electrons and ions will be oriented at the electrode / electrolyte interface, thereby generating a capacitor layer with a thickness of nanometers to achieve energy storage. Compared with electric double-layer supercapacitors, pseudocapacitive supercapacitors have a much larger specific capacitance, and therefore the energy density of the device is higher.

[0004] Energy storage processes based on pseudocapacitance mechanisms include: (1) ions in the electrolyte deposit on the electrode surface at a potential higher than the Nernst potential, a process called underpotential deposition; (2) ions in the electrolyte adsorb onto the electrode surface and undergo charge transfer with the electrode, resulting in a reversible redox reaction, a process called redox capacitance; (3) small-radius ions in the electrode solution (such as Li) + Na + OH - Intercalation pseudocapacitance refers to the transfer process that occurs within the electrode material, involving insertion and extraction without altering the material's microstructure. In actual electrochemical reactions, multiple charge storage mechanisms typically work together; therefore, supercapacitors are also known as hybrid energy storage devices.

[0005] Anion-intercalated electrode materials have attracted much attention due to their ability to achieve high specific capacitance with relatively low specific surface area. Among them, ABO3-type oxides with perovskite structures are the most widely studied. Since Mefford et al. proposed the mechanism of electrochemical energy storage in LaMnO3 electrode materials using oxygen ion intercalation behavior in 2014, various ABO3-type perovskite structure transition metal oxide supercapacitor electrode materials have been reported. For example, LaFeO oxide... 3-δ The specific capacitance of SrCoO3 is approximately 200 F / g, while that of SrCoO3 oxide is approximately 170 F / g (F. Xiao et al. Materials Chemistry and Pgysics, 2005, 94221-225; A. Rai et al. Solid State Ionics, 2014, 262, 230-233). Various techniques have been used to improve the energy storage performance of these materials. For example, doping the A-site of ABO3 oxides can improve conductivity and enhance energy storage capacity, or fabricating nanofiber structures can further improve specific capacitance. For instance, the specific capacitance of LaNiO3 oxide nanofibers can reach 1200 F / g (X. Liu et al. Applied Surface Science, 2016, 384, 92-98); SrCoO3 oxide... 2+ Ion A-site doped LaMnO 3-δ This can increase the specific capacitance of the material from 180 F / g to 230 F / g. Although there have been many research reports on anion intercalation electrode materials based on ABO3 type oxides, when these materials are used to assemble supercapacitors, the energy density of the device at a power density of 1000 W / kg is often less than 50 Wh / kg, which cannot meet the requirements of practical applications for both high power density and high energy density.

[0006] High-entropy oxides of transition metals are a novel oxide system developed in recent years. These materials break away from the traditional design concept of doped oxides, with atoms of five or more elements occupying the same lattice site in equimolar or near-equimolar amounts. They exhibit excellent performance in energy storage devices, thus attracting widespread attention from researchers both domestically and internationally. Due to their high configurational entropy, high-entropy materials enable atoms of multiple elements to form solid solutions with a single crystal structure. This ensures the uniform distribution of atoms of various elements in the same lattice site of the crystal and suppresses phase separation, ultimately forming a structurally stable solid solution. Therefore, based on the principle of maximum entropy, by designing the material composition and structure, different atoms of multiple elements occupying the same lattice site can work synergistically, facilitating electron migration and transport, and developing electrode materials with high specific capacity. For example, Y. Yin et al. prepared a high-entropy oxide (Fe) with a spinel structure using the sol-gel method. 0.2 Co 0.2 Cr 0.2 Mn 0.2 Ni 0.2 The 3O4 cathode material exhibits a specific capacity of 332.2 F / g when charged and discharged at a current density of 0.3 A / g (Y. Yin et al., Dalton Transactons, 2023, 52, 9005); Z. Meng et al. developed a hollow spherical perovskite-type high-entropy oxide La(Co) with a multilayer structure. 0.2 Mn 0.2 Fe 0.2 Ni 0.2 Cu 0.2 O3 cathode material exhibits a specific capacitance of 625 F / g, and retains 88% of its capacitance after 10,000 charge-discharge cycles (Z. Meng et al., Chemical Engineering Journal, 457, 2023, 141242). Another example is the La-type perovskite high-entropy oxide anode material with a core-shell structure, prepared by H. Nan et al. using a self-assembly solvothermal method. 0.7 Bi 0.3 (Mn 0he.7-x Fe 0.3 Cu xO3, under a current density of 0.5 A / g, can achieve a specific capacitance of 480.95 C / g, with a working window voltage of -1.0 to 0 V (H. Nan et al., Chemical Engineering Journal, 452, 2023, 139501); In addition, the literature "Preparation and Electrical Performance Study of Lanthanide Perovskite High Entropy Oxides" (Guo Meng, Preparation and Electrical Performance Study of Lanthanide Perovskite High Entropy Oxides, 2022, Master's Thesis of Taiyuan University of Technology, DOI: 10.27352 / d.cnki.gylgu.2022.000928; M. Guo et al., Journal of Advanced Ceramics, 2022, 11(5), 742-753) prepared the electrode material La(Cr) of perovskite transition metal high entropy oxide supercapacitors by precipitation method. 0.2 Fe 0.2 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 Ni 0.2 O3 and Al 3+ Electrode materials for doped perovskite-type high-entropy oxide supercapacitors: La(CrFeMnCoNiAl) x ) 1 / (5+x) O3 has a maximum specific capacitance of 353.65 F / g, but after 2000 charge-discharge cycles, the specific capacitance retention rate is only about 86%. Although there are many reports on high-entropy oxide supercapacitor electrode materials, the specific capacitance of these reported materials is still not within the ideal range suitable for practical applications, which makes the energy density of supercapacitors based on high-entropy oxide electrode materials still not high.

[0007] The energy storage process of high-entropy oxide electrode materials is mainly based on the reversible redox reaction of transition metal ions and the insertion and extraction transfer of oxygen ions within the electrode material. Therefore, the energy-carrying ions (e.g., OH-) can store energy. - H + Li + The kinetics of diffusion and migration of ions (such as electrons) within materials play a crucial role in their energy storage performance. In high-entropy materials, due to the diverse elements and significant differences in atomic size, local lattice distortion is substantial, hindering the diffusion and migration of energetic ions. This results in the charging and discharging processes of electrochemical energy storage occurring only at or near the electrode surface, preventing the full utilization of the electrode material. This may be a significant reason why the specific capacitance of high-entropy materials is not yet very high. Overcoming the hindrance of lattice distortion to the diffusion and migration of energetic ions and designing high-entropy materials with excellent energy storage performance is a critical technical challenge that urgently needs to be addressed in the development of supercapacitors with both high power density and high energy density. Summary of the Invention

[0008] An object of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art, and prepare a transition metal high-entropy oxide La by a citric acid sol-gel method 1-x Sr x (Cr 0.2 Fe 0.2 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 Ni 0.2 )O3, which is compounded with nano-Ag to prepare a supercapacitor electrode material La 1-x Sr x (Cr 0.2 Fe 0.2 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 Ni 0.2 )O3:yAg (0<x<0.3, 0<y<4), which is used as the positive electrode of a supercapacitor and assembled into a supercapacitor with an activated carbon negative electrode, realizing the device application of the material. The specific capacitance of this perovskite-type high-entropy oxide electrode material can reach more than 4000 F / g, the energy density of the corresponding supercapacitor exceeds 100 Wh / kg at a power density of 1200 W / kg, and it exhibits excellent charge-discharge cycle stability and Coulombic efficiency. After 5000 charge-discharge cycles, the specific capacitance retention rate of the material and the device can reach more than 95%.

[0009] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: the chemical formula of a high-entropy oxide supercapacitor electrode material is expressed as: La 1-x Sr x (Cr 0.2 Fe 0.2 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 Ni 0.2 )O3:yAg, wherein 0<x<0.3, 0<y<4; for the material with 0<y<4, it is prepared from a transition metal high-entropy oxide La with a crystal structure having a space group of R-3c 1-x Sr x (Cr 0.2 Fe 0.2 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 Ni 0.2 )O3 is compounded with nano-Ag to obtain. The transition metal high-entropy oxide powder is a nano powder with crystal particle size of 10-200 nm, and the particle size of nano-Ag is 10-100 nm. Wherein the transition metal high-entropy oxide is obtained by Sr 2+Ion doping promotes the transformation of vertex-sharing BO6 octahedra to edge-sharing BO6 octahedra, forming a crystal structure with space group R-3c, thereby forming larger ion diffusion channels in the material lattice. In the electrochemical energy storage process of transition metal high-entropy oxides, it can overcome the hindering effect of local lattice distortion caused by multiple atoms co-occupying the same site on the diffusion and migration of energy-carrying ions, so that the electrochemical reaction during charging and discharging does not only occur on and near the surface of the electrode material. By enhancing the bulk phase diffusion of energy-carrying ions, the metal ions inside the material can also play a role in energy storage.

[0010] The above chemical formula is La 1-x Sr x (Cr 0.2 Fe 0.2 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 Ni 0.2 )O3:yAg(0<x<0.3, 0<y<4) composite material, used as electrode active material for supercapacitors.

[0011] The above chemical formula is La 1-x Sr x (Cr 0.2 Fe 0.2 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 Ni 0.2)O₃ (0<x<0.3), and the nano powder of transition metal high-entropy oxide with a grain size of 10-200 nm is prepared by a citric acid sol-gel method. The process steps are as follows: taking La(NO₃)₃·6H₂O, Sr(NO₃)₂, Cr(NO₃)₃·9H₂O, Fe(NO₃)₃·9H₂O, Co(NO₃)₂·6H₂O, Ni(NO₃)₂·6H₂O and Mn(NO₃)₂ solution with a mass percentage of 50% as raw materials, firstly, dispersing and dissolving the above raw materials and reagents in deionized water according to the stoichiometric ratio, and stirring for ten minutes under a magnetic stirrer. After all the metal salts are dissolved in deionized water, adding citric acid monohydrate (C₆H₈O₇·H₂O) to the obtained nitrate solution, and adding a certain amount of ethylene glycol at the same time, wherein the molar ratio of C₆H₈O₇·H₂O to metal ions is 1.5:1, and the volume ratio of ethylene glycol to the solution is 3:50. Stirring continuously, after the solution is uniform without precipitation, transferring the obtained solution into a constant temperature water bath, and stirring continuously under a water bath condition of 90°C until the solution forms a uniform and transparent sol, then transferring the sol into an oven with a temperature of 180°C for heat treatment for 8-15 hours to form a xerogel precursor; after grinding the xerogel precursor, transferring it into a tube furnace, and reacting at a temperature within the range of 600-900°C for 4-8 hours in an oxygen atmosphere. The heating rate is 2°C / min, the temperature is kept at 200°C for 0.5-2 hours, kept at 400°C for 1-3 hours, and kept at the final reaction temperature for 4-8 hours, then cooling along with the furnace, and after grinding, the high-entropy transition metal oxide nano powder with a grain size of 10-200 nm is obtained.

[0012] A hydrothermal method is used to compound high-entropy transition metal oxide La 1-x Sr x (Cr 0.2 Fe 0.2 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 Ni 0.2 )O₃ with nano Ag to prepare composite material La 1-x Sr x (Cr 0.2 Fe 0.2 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 Ni 0.2 )O₃:yAg, the process is as follows: weighing AgNO₃ and the La 1-x Sr x (Cr 0.2 Fe 0.2 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 Ni 0.2)O3:yAg powder, add deionized water and stir, the ratio of powder to deionized water is approximately adding 40 mL of deionized water to 150 mg of powder, add 16-20 mg of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and 5-10 mL of ethylene glycol at the same time, stir for 30 minutes, finally transfer the solution into a 100 mL polytetrafluoroethylene-lined reaction kettle, and heat in an oven at 160° C for 3-8 hours. After repeated centrifugal water washing and drying, the product with chemical formula La 1-x Sr x (Cr 0.2 Fe 0.2 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 Ni 0.2 )O3:yAg composite material is obtained.

[0013] The above-mentioned transition metal high-entropy oxide with chemical formula La 1-x Sr x (Cr 0.2 Fe 0.2 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 Ni 0.2 )O3:yAg (0<x<0.3, 0<y<4), and its composite powder with nano-Ag are used as active material to prepare an electrode, which is used as the positive electrode of a supercapacitor. The electrode preparation process is as follows: nickel foam is used as the current collector, the active material, conductive carbon black, and binder (e.g., polyvinylidene fluoride PVDF) are dispersed in an N-methylpyrrolidone solution with 15 mass percent of PVDF according to a mass ratio of 7:1.5:1.5 to form a uniform and stable coating. The coating is uniformly applied to the surface of the nickel foam by a doctor blade method, dried at 50° C, and finally left to stand under a pressure of 10 MPa for 2 minutes to prepare a positive electrode sheet.

[0014] Activated carbon is used as the negative electrode active material of the supercapacitor, the activated carbon is dispersed in an N-methylpyrrolidone solution with 15 mass percent of PVDF, the mass ratio of activated carbon to PVDF is 85:15 to prepare a uniform and stable coating, which is applied to the surface of the current collector by a doctor blade method, dried at 50° C, and finally left to stand under a pressure of 10 MPa for 2 minutes to prepare a negative electrode sheet.

[0015] The positive and negative electrodes meet the requirement that the mass of active materials satisfies m + / m - =(C - ×ΔV - ) / (C + ×ΔV +The relationship between the positive and negative electrodes is used to assemble a supercapacitor, where m represents the coating mass of the positive and negative active materials, C represents the specific capacitance of the single positive and negative electrodes, and ΔV represents the window voltage of the single positive and negative electrode materials. First, the positive and negative electrode sheets are immersed in a 6 mol / L KOH electrolyte for 24 hours for activation. Then, tabs are welded onto the two electrodes as lead-out electrodes. The two electrodes are symmetrically attached to both sides of an ion-exchange membrane. The electrodes and the ion-exchange membrane are then sealed with hard plastic, and electrolyte is injected into them to prepare the supercapacitor.

[0016] This invention is based on the "maximum entropy principle," which states that by increasing the configurational entropy of a material, atoms of various different elements occupy the same lattice sites, suppressing phase separation and forming a structurally stable solid solution phase. Five equimolar amounts of transition metal atoms are introduced into the B lattice sites of ABO3-type oxides to prepare high-entropy transition metal oxides. Due to the synergistic effect of electron-donating and electron-accepting atoms among these five metal atoms, this type of material can achieve high pseudocapacitance. Simultaneously, this invention uses Sr... 2+ Ion doping modulates the electrochemical energy storage performance of high-entropy oxides; this technique differs from the traditional Sr doping of tack oxides. 2+ Ion doping. For traditional perovskite oxide materials (e.g., LaMnO3), the B lattice site contains only one type of transition metal atom, Sr... 2+ Ion doping adjusts the valence of the B-site metal atoms and increases the carrier concentration, thereby enhancing the conductivity and energy storage capacity of the material. However, the crystal structure of the material generally remains unchanged, resulting in a relatively small enhancement effect. In contrast, Sr is doped into the high-entropy oxide material of this invention. 2+ Ions are used to trigger the transformation of BO6 octahedra sharing vertices to BO6 octahedra sharing edges, thereby forming larger ion diffusion channels within the crystal. This overcomes the hindering effect of crystal structure distortion caused by multiple atoms occupying the same lattice site on the diffusion and migration of energetic ions. This ensures that the electrochemical reactions during charging and discharging do not only occur on the surface and near the surface of the electrode material, but also enhance the bulk diffusion of energetic ions, allowing metal ions inside the material to also contribute to energy storage. Furthermore, this invention combines high-entropy transition metal oxides with nano-Ag. On one hand, highly conductive Ag nanoparticles are deposited at the oxide grain boundaries to reduce energy loss caused by electron scattering at grain boundaries during energy storage, enhancing the material's conductivity and thus improving energy storage capacity. On the other hand, the high-entropy oxide environment induces reversible redox reactions in nano-Ag, contributing to energy storage, and mutually promotes the Faraday capacitance of transition metal ions, resulting in an extremely high specific capacitance for the composite material. Therefore, the high-entropy oxide supercapacitor electrode material La of this invention... 1-x Sr x (Cr 0.2Fe 0.2 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 Ni 0.2 O3:yAg, through the synergistic effect of multiple techniques such as entropy regulation, crystal structure regulation, electronic state regulation, and interface regulation, achieves an electrode material with ultra-high energy storage performance.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention include:

[0018] (1) This invention provides a supercapacitor electrode material with high specific capacitance and good charge-discharge cycle stability. Using La... 0.90 Sr 0.10 (Cr 0.2 Fe 0.2 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 Ni 0.2 Electrodes using O3:Ag as the active material can achieve a maximum specific capacitance of over 4866 F / g at an operating current of 1 A / g, and retain over 95% of the specific capacitance after 5000 charge-discharge cycles. The literature "Preparation and Electrical Performance Study of Lanthanide Perovskite-Type High-Entropy Oxides" reports the use of La(Cr)O3:Ag as the electrode material in ABO3 perovskite-type high-entropy transition metal oxide supercapacitors prepared by precipitation method. 0.2 Fe 0.2 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 Ni 0.2 O3, and Al at position B 3+ Doped perovskite-type high-entropy transition metal oxides La(CrFeMnCoNiAl) x ) 1 / (5+x) O3 has a maximum specific capacitance of only 353.65 F / g, and after 2000 charge-discharge cycles, the specific capacitance retention rate is only about 86%. In comparison, the specific capacitance of the material provided by this invention is 13-30 times that reported in the literature, and the material's charge-discharge cycle stability is also much better, resulting in unexpected technical effects.

[0019] Furthermore, with the high-entropy oxide La without composite nano-Ag, 1-x Sr x (Cr 0.2 Fe 0.2 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 Ni 0.2 Compared to O3 electrode materials, composite materials La 0.90 Sr 0.10 (Cr 0.2 Fe 0.2 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 Ni 0.2The energy storage of the O3:Ag electrode not only stems from the Faraday capacitance of the reversible redox reaction of transition metal ions, but the Faraday capacitance of nano-Ag also plays a role in the material's energy storage, and the two promote each other. Therefore, the composite material La 0.90 Sr 0.10 (Cr 0.2 Fe 0.2 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 Ni 0.2 The specific capacitance of O3:Ag is greater than that of the high-entropy oxide La. 0.90 Sr 0.10 (Cr 0.2 Fe 0.2 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 Ni 0.2 The specific capacitance of O3 is 1780 F / g higher. The literature "Silverdecorated lanthanum calcium manganate for electrochemical supercapacitor" (X. Sun et al., Materials Research Express, 2021, 8:075502) discloses a non-high-entropy perovskite oxide, La... 0.5 Ca 0.5 The composite material of MnO3 and nano-Ag enhances the energy storage capacity of the material by improving its conductivity. However, the composite of nano-Ag only increases the specific capacitance from 117 F / g to 179 F / g; no significant Faraday capacitance induced by the perovskite oxide environment in nano-Ag was observed, nor was a synergistic effect between the reversible redox reaction of transition metal ions and the energy storage of nano-Ag observed. Therefore, the technique of compositing high-entropy transition metal oxides with nano-Ag can also have unexpected technical effects on electrochemical energy storage.

[0020] (2) The method for preparing high-entropy transition metal oxide nanopowders and their composite with nano Ag provided by the present invention is simple to operate and has low production cost.

[0021] (3) The composite material La of transition metal high-entropy oxide and nano-Ag provided by the present invention 1-x Sr x (Cr 0.2 Fe 0.2 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 Ni 0.2O3:Ag is used as the positive electrode of a supercapacitor and assembled with activated carbon as the negative electrode to form a supercapacitor. When the power density of the device is 1200 W / kg, its energy can reach up to 102 Wh / kg, which is about 10-20 times the energy density of currently commercially available supercapacitors. Therefore, the perovskite-type high-entropy oxide supercapacitor provided by this invention has both high power density and high energy density, and the device has good charge-discharge cycle stability and high coulombic efficiency.

[0038] The process steps are as follows: Using La(NO3)3·6H2O, Sr(NO3)2, Cr(NO3)3·9H2O, Fe(NO3)3·9H2O, Co(NO3)2·6H2O, Ni(NO3)2·6H2O, and a 50% (w / w) Mn(NO3)2 solution as raw materials, firstly, the above raw materials and reagents are dispersed and dissolved in deionized water according to the stoichiometric ratio. The mixture is stirred for ten minutes under a magnetic stirrer. After all the metal salts have dissolved in the deionized water, citric acid monohydrate (C6H8O7·H2O) is added to the obtained nitrate solution, along with a certain amount of ethylene glycol. The molar ratio of C6H8O7·H2O to metal ions is 1.5:1, and the volume ratio of ethylene glycol to the solution is 3:50. Continue stirring until the solution is homogeneous and free of precipitate. Transfer the resulting solution to a constant-temperature water bath and continue stirring at 90°C until a homogeneous and transparent sol is formed. Transfer the sol to an oven at 180°C and heat-treat for 12 hours to form a dry gel precursor. Grind the dry gel precursor and transfer it to a tube furnace. React at 850°C for 5 hours in an oxygen atmosphere. The heating rate is 2°C / min, and the temperature is maintained at 200°C for 30 minutes, 400°C for 2 hours, and finally at the final reaction temperature for 5 hours. After furnace cooling, grind the resulting high-entropy transition metal oxide nanoparticles.
