Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of composite material preparation, and specifically, to a preparation method of a two-dimensional material of an oxygen-phosphine-based dysprosium complex composite carbon and its application in lithium-sulfur batteries. Background Art

[0002] The redox reaction of polysulfides is of great significance in many fields, such as lithium-sulfur batteries, fuel cells, electrochemical sensors, etc. However, the redox reaction kinetics of polysulfides is slow, which severely restricts the performance of related devices. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop efficient and stable catalysts for the redox reaction of polysulfides. Two-dimensional carbon nanotube materials have excellent electrical conductivity, large specific surface area and rich surface chemical properties, and are ideal catalyst carriers. Rare earth metal complexes, especially dysprosium complexes, have unique electronic structures and coordination abilities, and show good catalytic activity in the redox reaction of polysulfides.

[0003] Lithium-sulfur batteries are regarded as the next-generation high-energy energy storage devices due to their high theoretical specific capacity and energy density. However, the "shuttle effect" of polysulfides leads to the loss of active substances and capacity decay, severely restricting their commercialization. At present, carbon-based materials such as carbon nanotubes (CNT), graphene, etc. can physically adsorb polysulfides, but lack catalytic activity for redox reactions; transition metal compounds can catalyze the conversion of polysulfides, but have poor electrical conductivity and insufficient stability. Rare earth complexes have potential in multi-electron catalysis due to their unique electronic structures and coordination abilities, but the composite of their one-dimensional chain structure with two-dimensional conductive substrates has not been fully studied.

[0059] Crystal structure determination and characterization in Example 3

[0060] I. Experimental method

[0061] Select a colorless block single crystal product with a size of 0.095×0.093×0.072 mm 3 (prepared in Example 1) for structure testing. Diffraction is carried out using a Rigaku XtaLAB Synergy R, DW system, HyPix single crystal X-ray diffractometer at a temperature of 298.15 K, and the CuKα ray monochromatized by a graphite monochromator is used as the incident light source to collect diffraction data and process it.

[0063] II. Experimental results

[0064] Single crystal structure analysis shows that the phosphine oxide-based dysprosium complex prepared in Example 1 (referred to as Complex 1 in Table 1) belongs to the trigonal system, with the space group R-3 and the unit cell parameters as follows: α = 90°, β = 90°, γ = 120°, The crystallographic data are shown in Table 1.

[0066]

[0067]

[0068] From Figure 1 (a) - (d) in it, it can be seen that the asymmetric unit of the phosphine oxide-based dysprosium complex prepared in Example 1 includes one Dy III , half of the phosphine oxide ligand, and one coordinated chloride ion, and there is no crystalline solvent in the external environment. The central metal ion dysprosium ion forms a six-coordinate octahedral geometry (O h ) with 3 chlorines and 3 oxygens. Since the 3 oxygen atoms come from different phosphine oxide ligands respectively, a two-dimensional layered structure is formed in the plane extension. The nearest Dy-Dy distance within the molecule is Using Shape software, the CShM value of the central Dy(III) ion is calculated to be 0.93697 (Table 2). The average Dy-O and Dy-Cl bond lengths are and Due to symmetry, the three Dy-O and three Dy-Cl bond lengths are all equal.

[0070]

[0071] *HP-6 = hexagon, PPY-6 = pentagonal pyramid, OC-6 = octahedron, TPR-6 = triangular prism, JPPY-6 = Johnson pentagonal pyramid J2.

[0072] The infrared spectra of the phosphine oxide-based dysprosium complex prepared in Example 1 and the composite material prepared in Example 2 are as shown in Figure 2 . It can be seen from Figure 2 that obvious benzene ring characteristic peaks can be observed in the phosphine oxide-based dysprosium complex at 1597 cm -1 . At 900 - 650 cm -1Out-of-plane deformation vibration of C-H on the aromatic ring appears in the region. Compared with the phosphine oxide ligand, the absorption peaks of certain functional groups in the dysprosium phosphine oxide complex and the composite material have undergone obvious red shifts, and the intensities have also changed to a certain extent, indicating that the organic ligand 1,4-butanediylbis(diphenylphosphine oxide) participates in coordination.

[0073] The Raman spectra of the dysprosium phosphine oxide complex prepared in Example 1 and the composite material prepared in Example 2 are as Figure 3 shown. From Figure 3 it can be seen that when the excitation wavelength is 532 nm, the composite material in the middle frequency region shows a disorder peak (disorder), that is, the D peak, of the boundary vibration mode of the hexagonal Brillouin zone induced by disorder at 1341 cm -1 . It originates from the stretching vibrations of C-C bonds and C=C double bonds and is a typical Raman peak in carbon materials such as carbon nanotubes and graphene. An obvious G peak appears at 1582 cm -1 , which is caused by the vibration of sp 2 carbon atoms in the carbon nanotubes and reflects the graphitization characteristics of the carbon nanotubes. The 2D peak appears at about 2686 cm -1 , which is caused by the van der Waals force between the carbon nanotube layers. Compared with pure carbon nanotubes, there is an obvious blue shift, indicating that the dysprosium phosphine oxide complex has an impact on the carbon nanotubes. For the dysprosium phosphine oxide complex, a single peak caused by the double bond of the aromatic molecule can be observed at 1587 cm -1 . The absorption peak of low-frequency C-H appears at 3060 cm -1 , showing an obvious blue shift compared with the ligand, indicating that the intermolecular interaction is enhanced after the formation of the dysprosium phosphine oxide complex.

[0074] The thermogravimetric diagrams of the dysprosium phosphine oxide complex prepared in Example 1 and the composite material prepared in Example 2 are as Figure 4 shown. From Figure 4 it can be seen that both the dysprosium phosphine oxide complex and the composite material have high thermal stability and only start to lose weight and show structural destruction and decomposition phenomena above 350 °C.

[0075] The X-ray powder diffraction test results of the dysprosium phosphine oxide complex prepared in Example 1 and the composite material prepared in Example 2 after being placed in air for 3 months are as Figure 5 shown. From Figure 5 it can be known that the peak positions, peak shapes, and peak intensities of the test peaks and the simulated peaks obtained after single crystal testing are basically the same, indicating that the dysprosium phosphine oxide complex and the composite material of the present invention have good stability, can be stored in an air environment for a long time, and maintain good crystallinity.

[0076] The scanning electron microscope images of the dysprosium phosphine oxide complex prepared in Example 1 and the composite material prepared in Example 2 are as Figure 6As shown. From Figure 6 It can be seen that the phosphine oxide group dysprosium complex presents a layered stacking structure, while the composite material presents a cross-linked structure, and the layered complex is dispersed in the carbon nanotubes.

[0077] The transmission electron microscopy images and energy dispersive spectroscopy images of the phosphine oxide group dysprosium complex prepared in Example 1 and the composite material prepared in Example 2 are as shown in Figure 7 (a)-(b) in, and the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy images are as shown in Figure 8 (a)-(b) in. The element contents are shown in Table 3. From Figure 8 and Table 3, it can be seen that the phosphine oxide group dysprosium complex is dispersed in the conductive network of the carbon nanotubes, the interface is blurred and the element distribution is continuous, indicating the existence of chemical compatibility. The carbon nanotube network ensures the smooth conduction of electrons, and the phosphine oxide group dysprosium complex provides active centers for adsorbing polysulfide lithium and catalyzing its redox reaction. It can also be confirmed from the energy dispersive spectroscopy images and the element content table (Table 3) in the surface scanning mode that the two-dimensional phosphine oxide group dysprosium complex is successfully compounded in the carbon nanotube network.
