Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of organic-inorganic composite materials, and specifically relates to a self-supporting tantalum diselenide nanosheet / PEDOT:PSS thermoelectric composite film and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Thermoelectric materials are functional materials that can directly realize the mutual conversion between heat energy and electrical energy. The Seebeck effect of the material can be used to convert heat energy into electrical energy. 3D printing technology has the advantages of easy operation, the ability to prepare any shape and mass production, and has broad application prospects in the field of thermoelectrics. However, there are currently no reports on the method of preparing tantalum diselenide nanosheets / PEDOT:PSS composite thermoelectric films using solution 3D printing technology. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a method for preparing a tantalum diselenide nanosheet / PEDOT:PSS thermoelectric composite film. The preparation process of the invention is universal, and the prepared tantalum diselenide nanosheet / PEDOT:PSS thermoelectric composite film has excellent flexibility and good thermoelectric performance.

[0004] As an organic thermoelectric material, PEDOT:PSS has the characteristics of high electrical conductivity, low thermal conductivity and good film-forming properties. However, its low Seebeck coefficient limits its development. Considering that two-dimensional tantalum diselenide nanosheets have a high Seebeck coefficient, this patent innovatively combines the two through solution 3D printing technology to prepare a tantalum diselenide nanosheet / PEDOT:PSS composite film with excellent flexibility and good thermoelectric properties. This composite film has potential application prospects in the field of thermoelectrics.

[0005] The invention provides a method for preparing a tantalum diselenide nanosheet / PEDOT:PSS thermoelectric composite film, comprising the following steps: dispersing tantalum diselenide nanosheets in a PEDOT:PSS solution containing 5% by volume of dimethyl sulfoxide to obtain a mixed solution, printing the mixed solution on a glass substrate through a 3D printing technology after being fully stirred, drying the mixed solution at room temperature for 48 hours, and naturally falling off and separating from the glass substrate after soaking the mixed solution in a methanol solution for 30 minutes, then vacuum drying the mixed solution at 60°C for 5 minutes, and cold pressing the mixed solution at 30MPa for 5 minutes to obtain the self-supporting tantalum diselenide nanosheet / PEDOT:PSS thermoelectric composite film.

[0006] Furthermore, the tantalum diselenide nanosheets are prepared from tantalum diselenide powder by lithium ion intercalation stripping technology.

[0007] Furthermore, the tantalum diselenide nanosheets are prepared from tantalum diselenide powder by lithium ion intercalation stripping technology, and the steps include: dissolving LiOH·H2O in ethylene glycol, adding ground tantalum diselenide powder, stirring evenly and placing in a reactor to react at 200°C for 24 hours; cooling after the reaction is completed, and centrifuging at 5000rpm for 3min to obtain a precipitate; washing the precipitate with acetone and dispersing it in 200mL deionized water for 1h, and then centrifuging at 1000rpm for 3min to collect the supernatant; freeze-drying the supernatant to obtain tantalum diselenide nanosheets.

[0008] Furthermore, the tantalum diselenide nanosheets are prepared from tantalum diselenide powder by lithium ion intercalation stripping technology, wherein the mass volume ratio of LiOH·H2O:ethylene glycol is (0.1-1) g:60 mL.

[0009] Furthermore, in the method for preparing a self-supporting tantalum diselenide nanosheet / PEDOT:PSS thermoelectric composite film, the solid content of the tantalum diselenide nanosheet in the mixed solution is 1wt%-40wt%.

[0010] Furthermore, the method for preparing a self-supporting tantalum diselenide nanosheet / PEDOT:PSS thermoelectric composite film is described, wherein the film is fully stirred and then printed on a glass substrate using 3D printing technology, and the stirring time is 12-72 hours.

[0011] Furthermore, in the method for preparing a self-supporting tantalum diselenide nanosheet / PEDOT:PSS thermoelectric composite film, the 3D printing technology uses a needle diameter of 0.11-1.1 mm and a line spacing width of 0.2-2.2 mm.

[0012] The present invention also provides a tantalum diselenide nanosheet / PEDOT:PSS thermoelectric composite film, which is prepared by the above preparation method.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0014] 1. The present invention combines tantalum diselenide nanosheets with PEDOT:PSS. PEDOT:PSS is an organic thermoelectric material with the characteristics of high electrical conductivity, low thermal conductivity and good film forming properties. However, its development is limited by its low Seebeck coefficient. Tantalum diselenide nanosheets have a high Seebeck coefficient, so the composite film prepared by combining the two has good thermoelectric properties.

[0015] 2. The tantalum diselenide nanosheets / PEDOT:PSS composite film prepared by the present invention has sufficient flexibility so that the composite film can maintain structural stability without additional support, and has potential application prospects in the fields of wearable devices or curved electronic products, flexible sensors and flexible energy harvesting devices.

[0016] 3. The present invention prepares tantalum diselenide nanosheets / PEDOT:PSS composite films through 3D printing technology. The process has the advantages of convenient operation, mass production, high design freedom, etc., and has universal applicability. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
