Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for preparing a carbon quantum dot MXene composite material, and belongs to the field of capacitor materials. Background Art

[0002] As a new type of energy storage device, supercapacitors have shown great application potential in portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, smart grids, aerospace and other fields due to their significant advantages such as fast charging and discharging speed, high power density and long cycle life.

[0003] Despite their numerous advantages, supercapacitors currently have relatively low energy density (typically less than 30 Wh kg-1), which significantly limits their further adoption in long-range battery applications. Therefore, developing high-performance supercapacitor electrode materials to increase their energy density has become a research hotspot and a key breakthrough direction in the current energy storage field.

[0004] In recent years, two-dimensional transition metal carbides / nitrides (MXenes) have become a research focus for supercapacitor electrode materials due to their unique physical and chemical properties. MXenes possess high electrical conductivity, abundant surface functional groups, and a tunable layered structure, all of which demonstrate great potential for energy storage.

[0005] However, MXene nanosheets also face some challenges in practical applications. Due to the action of van der Waals forces, MXene nanosheets are prone to stacking, resulting in a significant reduction in their specific surface area and electrochemically active sites, thereby limiting their electrochemical performance. Taking Ti3C2Tx as an example, its interlayer spacing is small, making it difficult for electrolyte ions to fully enter the interlayer, which not only reduces the specific surface area of ​​the material, but also reduces the available electrochemical active sites. In addition, MXene also has the problem of self-oxidation. When in contact with air or moisture, the titanium atoms on the surface easily react with oxygen or water to form non-conductive TiO2, which further reduces the material's electronic conductivity and capacitive active sites, affecting its long-term stability and practical application.

[0006] Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) are a class of zero-dimensional carbon-based nanomaterials less than 10 nanometers in size. They are composed of carbon atoms and their surface functional groups (such as -COOH and -OH). They exhibit fluorescent properties, good water solubility, and biocompatibility. Research has shown that CQDs can passivate the edges of MXene and delay oxidation, primarily through chemical modification of their surface functional groups and a physical barrier effect. This allows for high capacitance retention in humid environments. Furthermore, CQDs can inhibit MXene stacking, increasing its specific surface area and electrochemically active sites. The emergence of CQD-MXene composites represents the intersection of two-dimensional materials science, nanotechnology, and energy science.

[0007] However, in practical applications, although CQDs intercalation inhibits MXene stacking, can increase its specific surface area and electrochemically active sites, and increase its capacitance, its energy density will drop significantly at high power density, especially when it is used as a component of an asymmetric capacitor. In addition, its cycle stability is poor, and the capacitance will drop significantly after a high number of cycles. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects of the existing technology. By using eicosanoic acid to modify carbon quantum dots and intercalate MXene, the two are finally prepared into a composite material by spin coating, so as to achieve the purpose of increasing the capacitance when it is used as a capacitor material, reducing its energy density loss at high power density, and improving its cycle stability.

[0009] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: A method for preparing a carbon quantum dot MXene composite material comprises preparing eicosanoic acid-modified carbon quantum dots, MXene intercalation modification, and preparing the composite material by spin coating.

[0011] The MXene intercalation modification method comprises mixing MXene with deionized water and performing ultrasonic dispersion for 15-25 minutes. After the ultrasonic dispersion is completed, a MXene dispersion is obtained for standby use. Then, sodium stannate, lithium sulfate, and deionized water are mixed and stirred until completely dissolved to obtain a mixed salt solution. Then, the MXene dispersion, the mixed salt solution, and urea are mixed and the temperature is controlled at 115-125° C. to perform a hydrothermal reaction for 20-26 hours.

[0013] The amount of the polyethylene glycol octylphenyl ether solution added is 0.075-0.125% of the total volume of the carbon quantum dot suspension and the MXene suspension.

[0027] Comparative Example 1 The difference from Example 1 is that the step of preparing eicosanoic acid-modified carbon quantum dots is omitted, and untreated nitrogen-doped lignin carbon quantum dots are directly used as raw materials. While keeping the dosage unchanged, the other steps remain unchanged, and the composite material is prepared by spin coating. The nitrogen content of the nitrogen-doped lignin carbon quantum dots is 11.5 at %.

[0028] Comparative Example 2 Different from Example 1, the MXene intercalation modification step was omitted, and untreated MXene was used as the raw material.

[0029] Test Example 1: Rate Performance Test The carbon quantum dot MXene composite materials of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were subjected to rate performance tests, and the performance of the MXene composite materials was characterized using a three-electrode apparatus, wherein the three-electrode test system selected a mercury / mercurous sulfate electrode as a reference electrode, an activated carbon film as a counter electrode, and 3M sulfuric acid as an electrolyte. The capacitance of the MXene composite materials at different scan rates was tested, and the results are shown in Table 1. The capacitance of the MXene composite materials at different current densities, in F / g, is shown in Table 2.

[0030] Table 1

[0031] Table 2

[0032] In Example 1-3, carbon quantum dots were modified with eicosanoic acid, and MXene was intercalated with sodium stannate and lithium sulfate under the action of urea. Finally, a composite material was prepared by spin coating. The material has excellent rate performance and can maintain a high capacitance at different scan rates and current densities. Comparative Example 1 omits the step of preparing eicosanoic acid-modified carbon quantum dots and directly uses untreated nitrogen-doped lignin carbon quantum dots as raw materials. The lack of eicosanoic acid modification will lead to a decrease in the rate performance of the material. Regardless of whether it is at different scan rates or different current densities, the initial capacitance is low, but the capacitance decays slowly. Although there is still a large loss at high scan rates and high current densities, the overall loss is slightly smaller. Comparative Example 2 omits the MXene intercalation modification step and uses untreated MXene as raw material. The lack of intercalation of tin and lithium elements will lead to a decrease in the rate performance of the material. The initial capacitance loss is small, but with the increase of scan rate and current density, the capacitance loss becomes more serious.

[0033] Test Example 2 Cyclic Stability Test Capacitors were prepared using the carbon quantum dot MXene composite materials of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2, wherein nitrogen-doped graphene aerogel was used as the positive electrode material and assembled with the MXene composite material into an asymmetric capacitor. Constant current charge and discharge tests were performed to test their cyclic stability. The test current was 1 A and the voltage window was 0-1.8 V. The capacity retention rate after different cycle times was tested. The results are shown in Table 3.

[0034] Table 3

[0035] In Example 1-3, carbon quantum dots were modified with eicosanoic acid, and MXene was intercalated with sodium stannate and lithium sulfate under the action of urea. Finally, a composite material was prepared by spin coating. The material had excellent cycle stability and could maintain a high capacity retention rate after multiple cycles. Comparative Example 1 omitted the step of preparing eicosanoic acid-modified carbon quantum dots and directly used untreated nitrogen-doped lignin carbon quantum dots as raw materials. The lack of eicosanoic acid modification would lead to a decrease in the cyclic stability of the material. After multiple cycles, the capacity retention rate dropped significantly. In Comparative Example 2, the MXene intercalation modification step is omitted and untreated MXene is used as the raw material. The lack of the intercalation effect of tin and lithium elements will lead to a decrease in the cycle stability of the material. After multiple cycles, the capacity retention rate will drop significantly.

[0036] Test Example 3: Energy density test at different power densities Capacitors were prepared using the carbon quantum dot MXene composite materials of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2, wherein nitrogen-doped graphene aerogel was used as the positive electrode material and assembled with the MXene composite material into an asymmetric capacitor. The energy density was tested at different power densities, and the results were expressed in Wh / kg. Table 4 shows the results.

[0037] Table 4

[0038] In Example 1-3, carbon quantum dots were modified with eicosanoic acid, and MXene was intercalated with sodium stannate and lithium sulfate under the action of urea. Finally, a composite material was prepared by spin coating. The material can maintain a high energy density at different power densities. In Comparative Example 1, the step of preparing eicosanoic acid-modified carbon quantum dots was omitted, and untreated nitrogen-doped lignin carbon quantum dots were directly used as raw materials. Without the modification of eicosanoic acid, the initial energy density of the material decreased significantly, and as the power density increased, the energy density decreased more seriously. In Comparative Example 2, the MXene intercalation modification step is omitted and untreated MXene is used as the raw material. The intercalation effect of tin and lithium elements is lacking. Although the initial energy density of the material decreases, the degree of decrease is not large. However, with the increase of power density, the energy density still decreases to a large extent.
