Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of adhesive preparation, and more specifically, to a preparation method and application of a conductive polymer adhesive. Background Art

[0002] In current battery and electrode material technologies, conductive polymer adhesives play a crucial role. However, existing conductive polymer adhesive technologies still have many deficiencies, restricting their applications in high-performance batteries and electrode materials.

[0003] Firstly, traditional conductive polymer adhesives have limitations in adhesion. Many adhesives are difficult to meet the bonding requirements of various materials. Especially when facing complex electrode structures, their adhesion is often insufficient to maintain the long-term stability of the electrodes. This causes the electrodes to easily fall off or the structure to be damaged during the charge and discharge processes of the battery, thus affecting the performance and lifespan of the battery. Secondly, there are bottlenecks in the conductivity of existing conductive polymer adhesives. Although some adhesives already have a certain level of conductivity, their conductive channels are often not optimized enough, resulting in the inability to fully utilize the conductive performance. In addition, the dispersion effect and energy storage performance of conductive fillers such as zinc oxide added during the preparation of some adhesives still need to be improved. This restricts the application of adhesives in high-performance batteries, especially in scenarios requiring high energy density and long cycle life.

[0004] Based on the above statements, this application provides a preparation method and application of a conductive polymer adhesive. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the problems raised in the background art, this application provides a preparation method and application of a conductive polymer adhesive.

[0006] This application provides a preparation method of a conductive polymer adhesive, adopting the following technical scheme:

[0007] A preparation method of a conductive polymer adhesive includes the following preparation steps:

[0008] S1. Mix modified cellulose, monomer styrene, and acrylate materials, raise the temperature of the system to 60 - 90 °C, stir evenly at a rate of 60 - 90 rpm, then add an initiator, and stir and react at a rate of 200 - 500 rpm for 8 - 12 hours to obtain a precursor solution of the adhesive;

[0009] Among them, the initiator is at least one of azobisisobutyronitrile and benzoyl peroxide;

[0010] S2. Use the template method to prepare porous zinc oxide, and add graphene during the process to prepare a porous zinc oxide-carbon conductive filler;

[0011] S3. Add the porous zinc oxide-carbon conductive filler obtained in step S2 to the binder precursor solution obtained in step S1. After stirring evenly, add an antifoaming agent, and continue to stir the system at 1000 - 1200 rpm for 5 - 10 minutes to obtain a conductive polymer binder.

[0012] Among them, the modified cellulose in step S1 is obtained by modifying cellulose with dopamine hydrochloride.

[0013] In the above reaction process, a binder precursor solution is prepared using modified cellulose, monomer styrene, and acrylate materials. With modified cellulose as an emulsifier and in combination with an initiator, the copolymerization of monomer styrene and acrylate materials is promoted, and a styrene-acrylate copolymer is formed in the system for the preparation of subsequent conductive adhesives.

[0014] Furthermore, in step S1, the modified cellulose is specifically prepared by the following steps:

[0015] S11. Add 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid to deionized water, adjust the pH value of the system to 5.5 - 6.7, and stir the system at a rate of 30 - 90 rpm and at room temperature until dissolved to obtain a 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid buffer solution.

[0016] S12. Dissolve carboxymethyl cellulose, 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride, N-hydroxysuccinimide, and dopamine hydrochloride in the 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid buffer solution, and stir for 24 hours at room temperature and in an inert gas atmosphere to obtain modified cellulose.

[0017] Furthermore, in step S1, the modified cellulose is specifically prepared by the following steps:

[0018] S11. Add 0.5 - 0.8 g of 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid to 30 mL of deionized water, use a NaOH solution to adjust the pH value of the system to 5.5 - 6.7, and stir the system at a rate of 30 - 90 rpm and at room temperature until dissolved to obtain a 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid buffer solution.

[0019] S12. Dissolve carboxymethyl cellulose, 0.2 g of 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride, 0.12 g of N-hydroxysuccinimide, and dopamine hydrochloride in 10 mL of the 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid buffer solution, and stir for 24 hours at room temperature and in an inert gas atmosphere to obtain modified cellulose.

[0020] During the above reaction process, carboxymethyl cellulose was modified using dopamine hydrochloride. The amino group on dopamine hydrochloride and the carboxyl group on carboxymethyl cellulose underwent an amidation reaction in the EDC / NHS system, introducing amide groups and catechol groups onto the carboxymethyl cellulose, and the modified cellulose was prepared.

[0021] Further, in step S12, the mass ratio of carboxymethyl cellulose to dopamine hydrochloride is (5 - 8):(0.2 - 0.8).

[0022] Further, in step S1, the mass ratio of the modified cellulose, initiator, monomer styrene, and acrylate material is (0.5 - 2):(0.0001 - 0.0003):(2 - 5):5.

[0023] Further, in step S1, the acrylate material is an acrylate with 1 - 6 carbon atoms in the alkyl group.

[0024] Further, in step S1, the acrylate material is at least one of methyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate, propyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, amyl acrylate, hexyl acrylate, or 2 - ethylhexyl acrylate.

[0025] Further, in step S2, the porous zinc oxide - carbon conductive filler is specifically prepared by the following steps:

[0026] S21. Add urea, zinc acetate, and surfactant to deionized water, stir at room temperature, then seal and age at 80 - 90 °C to obtain an aged solution;

[0027] S22. Add graphene to the aged solution and stir at room temperature; then heat the system at 170 - 190 °C for 6 - 8 hours, filter, add the precipitate to a 10 - 30 wt% ammonia aqueous solution, treat for 3 - 6 hours, then wash the precipitate and dry it at 50 - 80 °C for 12 - 24 hours, and then heat it to 300 - 500 °C at a heating rate of 2 - 5 °C per minute and perform annealing treatment for 3 - 4 hours to obtain the porous zinc oxide - carbon conductive filler.

[0028] During the above reaction process, the template method was used to prepare porous zinc oxide, and graphene was added during the process to prepare a composite material of porous zinc oxide and carbon as the conductive filler in the conductive polymer binder. Urea was used as the precipitating agent, and the surfactant was used as the templating agent to form an ordered mesoporous structure through its self - assembly behavior, thereby introducing porosity into zinc oxide. Subsequently, an aging procedure was set to enhance the interaction between the surfactant template and the solution. After adjusting the pores by etching with ammonia aqueous solution, the mesoporous structure was further stabilized. Subsequently, it was sintered together with graphene to prepare a composite material of the two.

[0029] Further, in step S21, the mass-volume ratio of urea, zinc acetate, surfactant, and deionized water is (1-3) g : (5-15) g : (1.2-1.3) g : (100-300) mL.

[0030] Further, in step S3, by mass percentage, the usage amount of the porous zinc oxide-carbon conductive filler is 5-20%.

[0031] In summary, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0032] 1. In the technical solution of the present invention, a modified cellulose, monomer styrene, and acrylate material are used to prepare an adhesive precursor solution. With the modified cellulose as an emulsifier and in combination with an initiator, the copolymerization of the monomer styrene and acrylate material is promoted, and a styrene-acrylate copolymer is generated in the system, making the adhesive have strong adhesion and being suitable for bonding various materials. The template method is used to prepare porous zinc oxide, and graphene is added during the process to obtain a composite material of porous zinc oxide and carbon as the conductive filler in the conductive polymer adhesive. The high conductivity of graphene can provide an excellent conductive channel for the composite material, while the high specific capacitance of porous zinc oxide helps to improve the energy storage performance of the composite material.

[0033] 2. In the technical solution of the present invention, carboxymethyl cellulose is modified with hydrochloric acid dopamine, and catechol functional groups are grafted onto the carboxymethyl cellulose through an amidation reaction, while retaining the hydrophilic chain segment and hydrophobic chain segment functional groups of the carboxymethyl cellulose. It plays an emulsifying role in the process of preparing the styrene-acrylate copolymer in step S1. The obtained adhesive precursor solution can, in the subsequent preparation process, improve the dispersion effect of the filler in the adhesive system and the conductivity of the adhesive through the action of metal ion coordination bonds with zinc oxide in the conductive filler and π-π interactions with graphene. At the same time, it can also promote the stability of the conductive network through π-π interactions with the styrene-acrylate copolymer.

[0034] In addition, it can also improve the bonding effect between the adhesive and the electrode through hydrogen bond interactions with electrode materials such as Si, maintain the stability of the electrode structure, and better inhibit the volume change of the electrode material during the charge and discharge process of the battery.

[0035] 3. In the technical solution of the present invention, acrylate with 1-6 carbon atoms in the alkyl group is used to prepare the polymer. Under a unit mass, an increase in the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl group means an extension of the carbon chain and an increase in the molecular weight in the acrylate molecule. By using acrylate materials with a small atomic number of carbon atoms, the molecular weight of the polymer is reduced, and the electrical conductivity of the adhesive is improved. At the same time, an initiator and modified cellulose are used to promote cross-linking between components and promote the formation of a gel-like substance to increase the viscosity of the system. Meanwhile, conductive fillers with a non-smooth surface morphology are supplemented, which can promote topological cross-linking of the gel state around the fillers and improve the cross-linking degree of the adhesive, making up for the problem of the decreased adhesion performance of the polymer with a small molecular weight.
