Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of organic functional materials, and particularly relates to a two-dimensional covalent organic framework material with a double-channel structure, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous increase in energy demand and the increasing pressure of environmental protection, clean and efficient energy storage technologies have become one of the hotspots of global research. Driven by the demand for electric vehicles and energy storage devices, the development of high-efficiency, low-cost, and high-safety batteries has important strategic significance. Battery systems based on the coupling of halogen / chalcogen elements with lithium / zinc anodes exhibit excellent performance, and among them, non-metallic elements such as iodine, sulfur, and selenium have attracted much attention due to their high safety, fast reaction kinetics, good reversibility, large theoretical capacity, and rich resources. In particular, aqueous zinc-iodine batteries are regarded as strong competitors for the next-generation energy storage system due to their low cost, high specific capacity, outstanding safety, and rapid redox kinetics.

[0003] However, this system still faces three challenges: the inherently low conductivity of iodine (10 -5 -10 -7 S·cm -1 ), the serious self-discharge and cycle decay caused by the shuttle effect of soluble I3 - / I5 - intermediates, and the overall capacity limitation caused by the generally low active iodine loading in the current cathode (usually <3mg·cm -2 ). These problems seriously restrict its practical application.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new type of porous material with high iodine loading for use in zinc-iodine batteries to solve the technical problems that occur in current traditional zinc-iodine batteries. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a two-dimensional covalent organic framework material with a double-channel structure, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is realized as follows:

[0007] A two-dimensional covalent organic framework material with a double-channel structure has a structure shown in Formula I:

[0008]

[0009] Furthermore, the structure of Formula I is a topological structure in which rhombuses and hexagons alternate.

[0010] A preparation method of a two-dimensional covalent organic framework material with a double-channel structure, the specific steps include:

[0011] 4,4’,4”,4”’-(pyrene-1,3,6,8-tetrayl)tetraaniline, 4,4’,4”-[benzene-1,3,5-triyltris(ethyne-2,1-diyl)]tribenzaldehyde and acetic acid catalyst were successively added into a composite solvent, and the reaction system was uniformly mixed and ultrasonically treated to obtain the target two-dimensional covalent organic framework material.

[0012] Furthermore, the molar ratio of 4,4’,4”,4”’-(pyrene-1,3,6,8-tetrayl)tetraaniline, 4,4’,4”-[benzene-1,3,5-triyltris(ethyne-2,1-diyl)]tribenzaldehyde and acetic acid is 1:1.3 - 1.4:5 - 7;

[0013] The concentration of acetic acid is 5 - 7 mol / L.

[0014] Furthermore, the composite solvent is o-dichlorobenzene and n-butanol with a volume ratio of 1:1, and the addition amount is 18 - 22 times the volume of acetic acid;

[0015] The frequency of the ultrasonic treatment is 35 - 45 kHz, the temperature is 20 - 30 °C, and the time is 3 - 5 min.

[0016] Application of a two-dimensional covalent organic framework material with a double-channel structure in the preparation of a cathode material for a zinc-iodine battery.

[0017] Furthermore, the cathode material for the zinc-iodine battery includes the two-dimensional covalent organic framework material described in claim 1 or 2, carbon black and a hydrophilic carbon cloth.

[0018] Furthermore, the preparation method of the cathode material for the zinc-iodine battery specifically includes:

[0019] (1) The two-dimensional covalent organic framework material described in claim 1 or 2, carbon black and a polyvinylidene fluoride / N-methylpyrrolidone solution were uniformly mixed to form a mixed slurry, and the mixed slurry was uniformly coated on the surface of the hydrophilic carbon cloth and vacuum dried to form a composite substrate;

[0020] (2) After the composite substrate was processed into a cathode plate, iodine adsorption treatment was carried out to obtain the target cathode material for the zinc-iodine battery.

[0021] Furthermore, in step (1) of the preparation method of the cathode material for the zinc-iodine battery, the mass ratio of the two-dimensional covalent organic framework material, carbon black and the polyvinylidene fluoride / N-methylpyrrolidone solution is 1:0.4 - 0.6:10 - 15;

[0022] The concentration of the polyvinylidene fluoride / N-methylpyrrolidone solution is 1 wt% - 10 wt%.

[0023] Further, in step (1) of the preparation method of the zinc-iodine battery cathode material, the coating thickness of the mixed slurry is 200-300 μm; the thickness of the hydrophilic carbon cloth is 500-700 μm.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0025] 1. The two-dimensional covalent organic framework material with a double-channel structure prepared by the present invention forms a three-dimensional through-channel system through periodically arranged rhombic pores and hexagonal pores. The rhombic pores provide high-density active sites, and the hexagonal pores construct continuous ion transport channels, with both high specific surface area and chemical stability. The synergistic effect of the two realizes the efficient loading of active substances and the rapid migration of ions, significantly reducing the shuttle effect. The confinement effect of the double-channel structure of the present invention can significantly increase the iodine loading capacity, and the uniformly distributed alkynyl functional groups inside enhance the zincophilicity and electron conduction performance of the material surface, effectively preventing dendrite formation.

[0026] 2. The process of the present invention is simple and low-cost. The pore size can be precisely regulated by adjusting the spatial configuration of the organic ligand to adapt to different electrolyte systems. In the zinc-iodine battery, its hierarchical pore system can strengthen the fixation of active substances through the geometric matching effect, improving the cycle stability of the battery. In addition, the alkynyl-bridged conjugated framework forms a continuous electron transport network, which can significantly reduce the interfacial impedance, and the inherent chemical inertness of the two-dimensional covalent organic framework can effectively inhibit the electrode-electrolyte side reaction and reduce the risk of metal corrosion. The cathode material obtained by the present invention is suitable for high-energy density energy storage systems, can improve the battery capacity and charge-discharge efficiency, and also ensures the safety of long-term battery use.

As can be seen, the zinc-iodine battery assembled with the positive electrode material prepared in Example 1 could still maintain a high Coulombic efficiency after standing at a high current density for 48 h. This was because the excellent crystalline structure and high porosity of the Py-TAEB-COF of the present invention endued it with excellent chemical stability, significantly improving the cycle life and charge-discharge stability of the battery.
