Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of batteries, and in particular to a ZIF-MOG derived composite nano-carbon fiber catalyst and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Zinc-air batteries (ZABs) are primary cells that use oxygen from air as the positive electrode active material, zinc as the negative electrode, and a neutral or alkaline solution as the electrolyte. Due to their high theoretical specific capacity density, safety, pollution-free operation, simple structure, abundant zinc resources, and low cost, they have attracted considerable attention in the field of novel energy storage. However, during the charge and discharge process of ZABs, the slow kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the high potential of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) have hindered their industrial development. Therefore, it is particularly important to select suitable bifunctional cathode catalysts to increase the ORR reaction rate and reduce the overpotential of the OER reaction.
[0003] Zeolitic imidazole framework (ZIF-67) has the advantages of high specific surface area, rich porosity, easy functionalization, and high crystallinity. Its high porosity provides ample space and channels for the adsorption, storage, and transport of substances. Furthermore, the metal ions and organic ligands (dimethylimidazole) in ZIF-67 are connected by strong coordination bonds. Its unique structure and electronic properties exhibit excellent ORR catalytic activity in catalytic reactions.
[0004] Metal-organic gel (MOG), a novel polymer composite material, has been extensively studied in the field of electrocatalysis due to its high specific surface area, excellent thermal stability, controllability, and high yield. MOG possesses a three-dimensional network structure, which gives it a high specific surface area and abundant nanopores. This structure also makes it highly susceptible to doping. Catalytic materials with specific compositions and structures can be prepared to meet the needs of different catalytic reactions, demonstrating excellent controllability and catalytic activity.
[0005] PAN-based carbon nanofibers prepared by electrospinning possess properties such as large surface area and rich porosity, which facilitate efficient electron transfer. Therefore, integrating composite electrode materials into highly conductive carbon nanofibers through electrospinning can achieve a stable, orderly, and uniform distribution of multiple catalytically active centers. Leveraging the synergistic catalytic effects of the microscopic active centers in each material can improve the charge exchange efficiency and stability of the composite electrode material during redox cycling, thereby enhancing its electrochemical performance, which is of great value.

[0121] Comparative Example 1
[0122] The preparation of MOG in Example 1 was omitted, and other processes were the same as in Example 1. ZIF-67 was directly subjected to electrospinning and high-temperature treatment to obtain nanocarbon fiber material ZCF.
[0123] The performance tests were carried out on ZMCF-1 of Example 1, ZMCF-2 of Example 2 and ZCF of Comparative Example 1: the carbon fiber material itself was subjected to AC impedance method, linear sweep voltammetry and other tests using an electrochemical workstation to determine the catalytic activity of the catalyst itself; the carbon fiber materials of Examples 1 to 2 and Comparative Example 1 were assembled into batteries, and the charge-discharge cycle and power density tests were carried out. The specific process for preparing the battery is as follows: the zinc-air battery uses a polished zinc plate as the anode, an air electrode as the cathode, and a 6MKOH solution as the electrolyte. The ratio of the ink-colored catalyst slurry is: 5mg catalyst + 50μL Nafion + 950μL anhydrous ethanol. Take 200μL of the ink-colored catalyst slurry and drop it on the nickel mesh gas diffusion layer to form a catalytic layer (effective geometric area is 1cm 2 , the catalyst loading was 1 mg·cm -2 Next, place the zinc sheet on the anode plate, followed by the anti-dendrite diaphragm, sealing ring, liquid storage plate, sealing ring, air cathode, and cathode plate. Finally, install the screws, washers, and nuts, tightening them symmetrically to ensure uniform force. Finally, connect the assembled battery to the liquid storage bottle and the circulating peristaltic pump. Constant current charge and discharge tests are performed on the assembled battery using the Blue Electric Battery Testing System.
[0124] The ORR and LSV polarization curves of ZMCF-1 of Example 1, ZIF-67 of Comparative Example 1, and Pt / C in 0.1 mol / L KOH solution are shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown; the OER polarization curves of ZMCF-1 of Example 1, ZIF-67 of Comparative Example 1, and RuO2 in 1 mol / L KOH solution are shown as follows: Figure 2 As shown; the discharge polarization curve and power density of the zinc-air battery assembled with ZMCF-1 and Pt / C as cathode catalysts in Example 1 are shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown; the zinc-air battery and Pt / C-RuO2 battery assembled with ZMCF-1 of Example 1 as cathode catalyst at 10mA / cm 2 The constant current charge and discharge curve under Figure 4 The ORR and LSV polarization curves of ZMCF-2 and Pt / C in 0.1 mol / L KOH solution of Example 2 are shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown; The OER polarization curves of ZMCF-2 and RuO2 in 1 mol / L KOH solution of Example 2 are shown as Figure 6 shown.
[0125] like Figure 1 As shown, the half-wave potential (E 1 / 2 ) reaches 0.8 V (vs. RHE), which is almost equivalent to the half-wave potential (E 1 / 2 =0.82V), showing excellent ORR catalytic activity. Figure 2 It can be seen that at 10mA / cm 2 At the current density, the corresponding OER overpotential of ZMCF-1 is 396 mV, lower than that of Z-CNF (430 mV), but still 41 mV lower than that of RuO2 (355 mV). With increasing current density, the overpotential of ZMCF-1 gradually approaches or even falls below that of RuO2, indicating that ZMCF-1 has good OER catalytic activity. Figure 3 It can be seen that the maximum power density of the zinc-air battery assembled with ZMCF-1 material can reach 115.7mW / cm 2 , slightly lower than the maximum power density of Pt / C-RuO2 battery 121mW / cm 2 , showing excellent battery performance. Figure 4 For batteries at 10mA / cm 2The constant current charge and discharge curves below show that the initial charge and discharge voltage range of the ZMCF battery is 1.3V, but after running for 200h, its charge and discharge voltage range gradually decreases and remains stable (about 1.18V). Under the same conditions, the Pt / C-RuO2 battery only ran for 85h, at which time the charge and discharge voltage range increased to 1.62V. This shows that the zinc-air battery assembled with ZMCF-1 material has excellent cycle stability. Figure 5 It can be seen that the half-wave potential (E 1 / 2 ) reaches 0.78 V (vs. RHE), which is close to the half-wave potential (E 1 / 2 =0.82V), showing excellent ORR catalytic activity. Figure 6 It can be seen that at 10mA / cm 2 At the current density, the OER overpotential of ZMCF-2 material is 400mV, which is 45mV lower than the overpotential of RuO2 (355mV). However, as the current density increases, the overpotential of ZMCF-2 material gradually approaches and then falls below the overpotential of RuO2, indicating that ZMCF-2 material exhibits good OER catalytic activity.
[0126] The results of the examples show that the ZIF-MOG-derived composite carbon fiber (ZMCF) material prepared by the present invention accelerates the kinetic process of oxygen reduction (ORR) and reduces the overpotential of the oxygen evolution (OER) reaction. After long-term charge and discharge cycles, the voltage range remains stable without obvious attenuation, and has broad development prospects.
[0127] The present invention combines a zeolitic imidazole framework (ZIF-67) with a metal organic gel (MOG) and utilizes electrospinning technology to achieve a microscopic composite of the two at the nanoscale, forming a nanofiber network structure. This enhances the conductivity of the material while also exposing more active sites. High-temperature carbonization, heteroatom doping, and high-energy ball milling further enhance the material's conductivity and catalytic activity, building on the advantages of co-doping with a one-dimensional ZIF gel, increasing active sites, and improving the conductivity and electrochemical activity of the nanofibers. This invention is of great significance for preparing a new, high-performance, non-precious metal bifunctional catalyst, improving the catalyst's conductivity and high electrocatalytic activity, further enhancing the power density and charge-discharge efficiency of zinc-air batteries, and thus promoting the industrialization of zinc-air batteries.
[0128] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
