Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of liquid flow batteries, and in particular relates to a MOF-based carbon fiber felt for liquid flow battery electrodes, a preparation method and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Renewable energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy, hydropower, and biomass energy have non-steady-state characteristics of volatility and intermittence, and are affected by factors such as weather conditions. Energy storage technology has the natural advantage of peak load regulation, which can effectively improve the grid's ability to accept clean energy and solve the grid security and stability issues brought about by large-scale clean energy access.

[0003] Liquid flow batteries have the advantages of high energy conversion efficiency, large storage capacity, freedom of site selection, deep discharge, long service life, safety and environmental protection, etc., and are considered to be one of the most promising large-scale energy storage technologies. Among them, polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fiber felt is a key material for liquid flow batteries, providing reactive sites for electrochemical reactions. Currently, commercial carbon fiber felt materials are mainly used for refractory and heat-insulating materials. Their specifications and surface properties are not processed and produced for liquid flow battery electrode materials, so it is difficult to meet the performance requirements of liquid flow batteries. If it is used directly for liquid flow battery electrodes, there are a series of problems such as strong hydrophobicity of the material surface, poor wetting with the electrolyte, poor electrocatalytic activity, and irreversibility.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop carbon fiber felt materials for electrodes to meet the needs of flow batteries, and it is expected to further improve the energy efficiency and energy density of flow battery products, which is of great significance to accelerate the development of advanced electrochemical energy storage technology and the diversification of clean energy research and development. MOF materials are assembled from metal ions and organic ligands. They have extremely high specific surface area, rich active sites, adjustable pore structure, good stability, and easy modification and functionalization. Combined with carbon fiber felt materials, multi-level pore structure composite electrode materials can be prepared. Chinese Patent Publication No. CN111146449A proposes a method for preparing an electrode material and its use, comprising the steps of placing carbon felt in an aqueous solution of cobalt nitrate and soaking for 4 to 8 minutes; adding an aqueous solution of dimethylimidazole to the solution in which the carbon felt is soaked, and standing the solution at room temperature for reaction for 11 to 13 hours to obtain a MOF carbon felt composition; taking out the MOF carbon felt composition and drying it; and carbonizing the MOF carbon felt composition in a high-temperature vacuum tube furnace at 800°C for 1 hour under the protection of high-purity nitrogen, and then naturally cooling the composition to room temperature to obtain the electrode material; this technology grows MOF on a carbon felt material and performs secondary carbonization to obtain a composite electrode for a microbial fuel cell, but there are problems in that the energy consumption of the secondary carbonization of the carbon felt is too high and that the organic components of the MOF affect the electrode performance.
