Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of wire thin film, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a high-density one-dimensional wire thin film for salt difference power generation and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Salt difference energy is a renewable energy with huge energy, and its efficient capture depends on the key component ion-selective membrane in reverse electrodialysis technology. At present, the ion-selective mechanism mainly depends on electrostatic interaction. Generally, the charge groups in the membrane channel repel and attract counterions through electrostatic interaction to achieve selective anion-cation transport. However, it is still a challenge to simultaneously achieve high selectivity and high flux ion transport based on the membrane.

[0003] Polymer-based ion transport membranes have attracted much attention due to their excellent comprehensive performance. The inner surface of the nanochannel constructed based on the polymer membrane can expose active chemical groups under specific conditions, which is easy to realize further functionalization. The track etching technology based on the polymer substrate has the advantages of clear size and geometry, which can be used to prepare artificial nanochannels. The polymer porous membrane can be prepared based on non-solvent induced phase separation, which is simple and low in cost. The highly ordered and controllable nanochannels can be constructed based on the self-assembly of block copolymers, but the microphase separation results between different polymer segments are limited by the size and density, which restricts the improvement of ion transport performance.

[0004] Therefore, it is the key to realize the effective utilization of salt difference energy to improve the ion transport flux and selectivity by designing the polymer molecular structure, and to prepare a small-size, high-pore-density self-supporting porous thin film material. SUMMARY

[0034] Example 1

[0035] The preparation method of the high-density one-dimensional wire thin film for salinity power generation in the present example, which is as follows:

[0036] S1, 15.8 g (0.1 mol) of tetrahydro linalool and 9.0 g (0.12 mol) of chloroacetonitrile were mixed to obtain a mixture of tetrahydro linalool and chloroacetonitrile, then 11.76 g (0.12 mol) of 1.84 g / mL concentrated sulfuric acid was added dropwise under stirring at a temperature of 0-5°C, and the addition was stopped when the mass fraction of the mixture of tetrahydro linalool and chloroacetonitrile in the system was 80%, the ice bath was removed, and the reaction was carried out at a temperature of 40°C for 12 h; 9.6 g of sodium hydroxide was dissolved in 200 mL of deionized water to obtain a sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, which was then added dropwise to the reaction system under vigorous stirring; the obtained crude product was dissolved in 100 mL of dichloromethane (DCM), washed with saturated sodium chloride solution for 3 times, dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then the organic layer was concentrated and vacuum dried at room temperature for 24 h to obtain substance A, which was named as THLCAM;

[0037] S2, 11.7 g (0.05 mol) THLCAM obtained in S1 and 7.05 g (0.075 mol) 1-vinylimidazole were added to a 250 mL round bottom flask containing 50 mL N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and the quaternary ammonium reaction was carried out at a temperature of 80°C for 12 h to obtain a reaction mixture, then 150 mL methyl tert-butyl ether was added to the reaction mixture while stirring vigorously, the precipitated material was washed twice and dried under vacuum at room temperature for 24 h to obtain material B, named THLCAM-VI;

[0038] S3, 40 mg (0.25 mol) azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) and 16.4 g (0.05 mol) THLCAM-VI obtained in S2 were dissolved in 100 mL DMF, nitrogen was bubbled for 30 min to remove dissolved oxygen, then the reaction was carried out at a temperature of 65°C in an oil bath for 24 h, after the completion of the radical polymerization, evaporation was carried out at a temperature of 80°C, then methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) was added, the precipitated material was washed twice and dried under vacuum at room temperature for 24 h to obtain material C, named PTHLCAM-VI;

[0039] S4, PTHLCAM-VI obtained in S3 was dissolved in ethanol to obtain an ethanol solution of PTHLCAM-VI with a concentration of 100 mg / mL;

[0040] S5, 2 mL of the ethanol solution of PTHLCAM-VI obtained in S4 was spread on a mold made of polytetrafluoroethylene, and the solvent was removed by evaporation at a temperature of 45°C to obtain a high-density one-dimensional wire film for salt differential power generation.

[0041] From the perspective of molecular design, hydrophilic ionic segments and hydrophobic carbon chains can be introduced into the side groups of the same repeating unit of a homopolymer, and due to microphase separation, they can self-assemble to form nanostructures. The cable-type ion channels formed by the self-assembly of such short-chain molecules with hydrophilic segments as the core and hydrophobic segments as the shell will have higher channel density and smaller size, and can be regarded as ion wires. For ion transmission, high-density channels will have higher flux, and at the same time, due to the introduction of a large number of ionic groups, they will have higher selectivity to the channels.

[0042] This embodiment introduces hydrophilic ionic chains and hydrophobic carbon chains into the repeating units of a homopolymer through molecular design. Due to microphase separation, they can self-assemble to form high-density ion channels with hydrophilic segments as the core, hydrophobic segments as the shell, a size of less than 5 nm, and a density of up to 9.7 x 10 11 cm -2 .

[0043] Figure 1is the synthetic procedure of PTHLCAM-VI and the real optical picture of the one-dimensional wire thin film. It can be seen from the picture that the surface of the one-dimensional wire thin film is smooth and the underlying substrate can be seen through the thin film, which indicates that the thin film is very thin with a thickness of 96.2 μm.

[0044] Figure 2 is the hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of THLCAM, which indicates the successful synthesis of THLCAM.

[0045] Figure 3 is the hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of PTHLCAM-VI, which indicates the successful preparation of PTHLCAM-VI.

[0046] Figure 4 is the transmission electron microscope picture of the high-density one-dimensional wire thin film prepared in this example for salt difference power generation Figure 4 a) and the atomic force microscope picture Figure 4 b), from which it can be seen that the thin film has high-density pores, and the pore density is calculated to be 9.7 x 10 11 cm -2 .

[0047] Figure 5 is the ion conductivity of the high-density one-dimensional wire thin film prepared in this example for salt difference power generation in different concentrations of electrolyte solution. Equal volumes of salt solutions with the same concentration are added to both sides of the film, and the external circuit is linked by the self-made silver chloride electrode, and the I-V curve under different concentrations is obtained by the picoammeter, the conductivity value under different concentrations is calculated and compared, and it can be seen from the picture that the ion transport of the thin film is regulated by the surface charge of the ion channel (the red line is the actual test linear relationship, and the blue line is the bulk conductivity linear relationship).

[0048] Figure 6 The permeability curves of the cationic fluorescent dye rhodamine 6G and the anionic fluorescent dye sodium fluorescein through the thin film are shown. Equal volumes of fluorescent dyes (feed) and ultrapure water (permeate) are added to both sides of the film, and the permeate is sequentially taken according to the difference time and placed into the fluorescence spectrophotometer to test the intensity, which is converted into concentration to obtain the correlation curve of time and concentration. By comparing the penetration of cationic and anionic fluorescent dyes, it can be concluded that the thin film has good anion selectivity.

[0049] The schematic diagram of the salt difference energy conversion device of the thin film is shown in Figure 7 , the concentrated salt solution is the Yellow Sea seawater (Qingdao sea area), and the dilute salt solution is the city tap water (Qingdao). Specifically, the salt difference energy conversion device is composed of a pair of electrolytic cells, rubber O-rings and a polyimide sheet with holes. The thin film is placed between the polyimide sheet with holes and pressed tightly by the O-rings. The self-made silver / silver chloride electrodes are installed on both sides of the electrolytic cell and connected by a wire to a resistance meter picoammeter.

[0050] Figure 8 The output power density changes under different external resistance are recorded. Specifically, during the complete salinity gradient energy conversion device test, the output power density of the thin film is obtained by adjusting the resistance value of the resistor connected to the circuit. When the concentration gradient is 50 to 500 times, the output power density is calculated to be 17.0-40.5 W / m 2 .

[0051] Figure 9 The output power density changes of the thin film for 10 days are recorded, which shows that the one-dimensional wire thin film can maintain stable output. Specifically, the output power density of the same thin film sample is measured for consecutive days, and the corresponding linear relationship is obtained. The small fluctuation of the output power density within 10 days shows the stability of the thin film.

[0052] Figure 10 The output power density changes of the thin film for ten times of reconstruction are recorded, which shows that the high-density one-dimensional wire thin film prepared in this embodiment for salinity power generation has excellent recyclable performance. Specifically, the output power density of the thin film prepared by using the same thin film sample for consecutive cycles is measured, and the corresponding linear relationship is obtained. The small fluctuation of the output power density of the thin film for ten times of reconstruction shows the cycle stability of the thin film.

[0053] Figure 11 The antibacterial performance of the high-density one-dimensional ion wire. In order to test the antibacterial performance, the ground thin film is added to the E. coli culture medium. The polymer concentration is divided into four groups, which are 1 mg / mL, 2 mg / mL, 3 mg / mL and 4 mg / mL. The experimental group and the blank control group are added with the same amount of active E. coli solution. After 8 hours of culture, the same amount of bacteria solution of each group is transferred to the solid culture medium. After another 8 hours of continuous culture, the bacterial growth is observed. As Figure 11 shown, the comparison group shows a large number of bacteria. In contrast, when cultured with 1 mg / mL one-dimensional ion wire, the number of bacteria in the laboratory group is significantly reduced. Notably, at concentrations of 2 mg / mL, 3 mg / mL and 4 mg / mL, no obvious bacteria are detected. This excellent antibacterial effect is due to the inherent bactericidal properties of the imidazole salt group, which also enhances the hydrophilicity, thereby facilitating the contact and elimination of bacteria. Scanning electron microscopy observation shows that the morphology of the bacteria treated by adding the polymer is shriveled and deformed, and the morphology of the bacteria in the blank group is full, proving the inhibitory effect of the polymer on bacteria.

[0054] The high-density one-dimensional wire thin film prepared for salinity power generation in the present application is used to prevent bacterial contamination when converting salinity energy at the intersection of the ocean and the river.

[0055] The above merely describes preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application. Any simple modification, change and equivalent variation of the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the present application are still within the protection scope of the technical scheme of the present application.
