Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of carbon materials and capacitor technology, specifically to a method for preparing carbon nanosheets using anthracite as raw material and their application. Background Technology

[0002] Coal is one of my country's important energy sources, with abundant reserves and low cost, and a high carbon content. Anthracite is a high-rank coal with a high degree of metamorphism, a carbon content of over 90%, low volatile matter content, and high hardness and density, making it a suitable raw material as a precursor for carbon materials. Due to its dense and highly ordered structure, anthracite has high electrical conductivity, making it very suitable as an electrode material for energy storage.

[0003] Supercapacitors have become a hot topic in the application and research of electrochemical energy storage devices due to their advantages such as fast charging and discharging speed, high power density and energy density, and long cycle life. They are widely used in transportation, computers, and power generation, especially in automotive internal combustion engines, where they can provide instantaneous energy for rapid vehicle starting, demonstrating enormous application potential. Using anthracite as a raw material to prepare supercapacitor electrode materials for energy storage is an important way to achieve high-end applications of anthracite and a crucial pathway to promote the transformation of coal resource utilization in my country. This can bring significant economic value and a broad market to the development of non-combustion applications of anthracite.

[0004] Currently, anthracite is mainly used in fuel, metallurgy, and water treatment. Due to its high carbon content, low volatile matter, low cost, and wide availability, anthracite has the potential to be used as a high-end material, such as anode material for lithium-ion batteries. However, electrode materials prepared from anthracite have insufficient specific surface area and poor pore structure. This is because anthracite has a high degree of metamorphism, hardness, and density, making activation and pore formation difficult. The specific surface area of ​​activated anthracite-based materials is generally 300-1000 m² / s. 2 Even with complex activation processes, the specific surface area of ​​materials prepared by g is unlikely to exceed 1500 m² / g. 2 Anthracite-based materials, with their uneven pore size distribution and underdeveloped pore structure, exhibit an excessively high proportion of micropores, hindering electrolyte wetting and rapid ion migration. Current methods for preparing anthracite-based materials as supercapacitor electrode materials suffer from drawbacks such as low specific capacitance and poor rate performance. Therefore, developing carbon materials for supercapacitors using anthracite as a raw material, and achieving a hierarchical pore structure with a large specific surface area and a suitable mix of mesopores and micropores, is a crucial technical challenge that urgently needs to be addressed.

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention aims to solve the technical issues of low specific surface area, underdeveloped pores, and low electrical capacity in the preparation of carbon materials using anthracite as raw material, and provides a method for preparing carbon nanosheets using anthracite as raw material and their application. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a method for preparing carbon nanosheets using anthracite as raw material and its application. The porous carbon prepared by the present invention has well-developed pores, a large specific surface area, and a high pore utilization rate. At the same time, capacitors made using the porous carbon prepared by the present invention have a large specific capacitance and a long service life.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for preparing carbon nanosheets using anthracite as raw material, comprising the following steps:

[0008] A1: After the anthracite is crushed and screened to a particle size of less than 0.2 mm, the anthracite powder is deashed with a mixed acid of HCl and HF. The mixed acid ratio is 40% HCl: 10% HF: 50% deionized water. 1 g of anthracite is mixed with 15 mL of the mixed acid and then vibrated under ultrasonic conditions for 1 h. The ultrasonic frequency is set to 100 kHz. Then it is stirred at room temperature for 24 h. After filtration, it is washed with deionized water multiple times and then dried at 60℃ for 12 h to obtain deashed anthracite.

[0009] A2: Mix deashed anthracite with sulfuric acid solution, sonicate for 0.5 h, set the sonic frequency to 100 kHz, place in a reaction vessel, react at 120-200℃ for 8-12 h, cool, filter and wash repeatedly with deionized water until pH is 7, and then dry at 60℃ for 12 h to obtain acidified carbon.

[0010] A3: After mixing the acidified carbon with an activator (one of potassium hydroxide, potassium carbonate or phosphoric acid) and zinc oxide in a certain mass ratio, the mixture is placed in a high-temperature furnace filled with inert gas. The inert gas flow rate is maintained at 300 mL / min, and the mixture is heated from room temperature to 700℃ at a heating rate of 5℃ / min and held for 0.5-2 hours to obtain one-step carbonized activated carbon.

[0011] A4: Immerse the one-step carbonized activated carbon in a 0.1 mol / L dilute hydrochloric acid solution and stir magnetically for 1 hour. Set the magnetic stirrer speed to 600 rpm. After filtration, wash repeatedly with deionized water until the pH value is 7 to obtain carbon nanosheets.

[0012] Furthermore, in step A2, the mixing ratio of deashed anthracite and sulfuric acid solution is 1g deashed anthracite: 30mL sulfuric acid solution with a concentration of 2-6mol / L; in step A3, the mass ratio of acidified carbon, potassium hydroxide and zinc oxide is 1:3:1, the mass ratio of acidified carbon, potassium carbonate and zinc oxide is 1:3:2, and the mass ratio of acidified carbon, phosphoric acid and zinc oxide is 1:2:1.

[0013] A method for preparing carbon nanosheets using anthracite as raw material for use in supercapacitors includes the following steps:

[0014] B1: A mixture of anthracite-based carbon nanosheets, ethylene black, and polytetrafluoroethylene is added to a ball mill and ground for 0.5-1 hours.

[0015] B2: Transfer the mixed slurry to an ultrasonic instrument, ultrasonically treat it at a frequency of 100kHz for 0.5-1h to obtain electrode slurry;

[0016] B3: Coat the electrode slurry onto nickel foam, place it in an oven, set the air speed to 0.3 m / s and the temperature to 80℃ and dry for 15-30 min. Then use a tablet press to press the tablets. After pressing, the electrode sheets are obtained. Place the electrode sheets in an electrolytic cell to obtain a three-electrode supercapacitor. Place a separator between two electrode sheets and assemble them into a symmetrical dual-electrode button cell.

[0017] Furthermore, the carbon nanosheets made from anthracite described in step B1 are observed to be thin-layered nanosheets under a transmission electron microscope, with a specific surface area greater than 2000 m². 2 / g, the ratio of micropore volume to mesopore volume is within the range of 7:1 to 8:1; the mass ratio of carbon nanosheets, ethylene black and polytetrafluoroethylene, which are made from anthracite as raw material, in step B1 is 8:1:1; the slurry mixed in step B2 is transferred to an ultrasonic mill for ultrasonic treatment, the ultrasonic treatment program is set to ultrasonic treatment once every 2 min, ultrasonic treatment for 1.5 min, standing for 30 s, one cycle every 2 min, and a total ultrasonic treatment for 0.5-1 h; the electrode slurry coating thickness on nickel foam in step B3 is 0.2-0.5 mm, the electrolyte is 6 mol / L potassium hydroxide solution, and the diaphragm is a mixed cellulose diaphragm.

[0018] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following advantages: Anthracite is deashed by ultrasonic treatment in a mixed acid, and then hydrothermally acidified with sulfuric acid solution to obtain acidified carbon with swollen coal organic macromolecules, loose structure, large specific surface area, and abundant oxygen-containing functional groups. The acidified carbon and the activator work synergistically to promote activation and pore formation, forming a hierarchical porous carbon with well-developed macropores, mesopores, and micropores. The large number of pores provides a wide charge transport channel and charge storage space for subsequent supercapacitor charging and discharging, thereby improving the specific capacitance. In addition, the abundant oxygen-containing functional groups of the porous carbon obtained after acidification modification improve the wettability of aqueous electrolytes, thereby ensuring the improvement of charge transfer rate and increasing the charge and discharge rate under high current. Furthermore, the porous carbon prepared by combining deashing and acidification modification with high-temperature chemical activation has a stable carbon skeleton structure. As an electrode material, it still maintains a stable specific capacitance after multiple charge and discharge cycles, exhibiting excellent cycle stability. Attached Figure Description
