AI Technical Summary
Existing MOF derivative materials suffer from problems in morphology control, such as irregular particles, high risk of structural collapse, and reduced specific surface area due to high-temperature treatment, which affect their pore distribution and performance during electrode filling.
A composite structure of spherical SiO2 support and Co(OH)2 nanosheets was adopted. Co(OH)2 nanosheets were grown in situ on the SiO2 surface using the ZIF-67 template method to form a monodisperse spherical structure. The growth process was mediated by surfactant.
Precise control of the monodisperse spherical structure was achieved, which improved the packing density, mass transfer efficiency and electrochemical performance of the material, while maintaining high specific surface area and structural integrity.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of chemical material preparation, and particularly relates to a spherical MOF derivative composite material and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Metal-organic framework (MOF) compounds have great potential in the fields of catalysis, energy storage, gas adsorption, etc. due to their ultrahigh specific surface area, adjustable pore structure and diversified chemical composition. Through high-temperature pyrolysis, sulfidation or phosphidation, etc. derivative treatment, MOF can be converted into derivative materials (such as porous carbon, metal sulfide / phosphide) with higher stability and functionality, but the morphology control is still a technical difficulty.
[0003] Existing research shows that the spherical structure can improve the packing density, mass transfer efficiency and electrochemical performance of the material, but the high-precision spherical morphology of MOF derivatives still faces the following technical bottlenecks: (1) the product is irregular particles, which leads to uneven pore distribution when the electrode is filled, affecting the performance of the device; (2) the risk of structure collapse is high; (3) high temperature in the derivative process leads to particle adhesion, and the specific surface area is significantly reduced.
[0004] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a method for controllable preparation of monodisperse spherical MOF derivative composite materials to improve their application performance. SUMMARY
[0005] In order to avoid the shortcomings of the prior art, and considering the economic benefits, the present application aims to solve the three core problems of uncontrolled morphology, poor compatibility of template method and performance loss in the preparation of existing MOF derivative materials, and provides a spherical MOF derivative composite material and a preparation method thereof, realizing high-precision spherical morphology control of MOF derivatives and obtaining monodisperse spherical structure composite materials.
[0006] The technical scheme of the present application is as follows: A spherical MOF derivative composite material, which takes spherical SiO2 as a carrier, grows Co (OH)2 nanosheets on the surface thereof in situ through a ZIF-67 template method, and forms a monodisperse spherical structure.
[0007] The preparation method comprises the following steps: Step 1: preparing nano-SiO2 balls: 100 mL of anhydrous ethanol, 15 mL of deionized water and 15 mL of ammonia water are added to a beaker, and magnetic stirring is performed for 0.5 h to obtain solution A; 50 mL of tetraethyl orthosilicate is added to solution A, and magnetic stirring is performed for 2 h to obtain solution B; solution B is centrifuged, the substrate is dried at 120℃ for 6 h, and then calcined at 600℃ for 4 h to obtain nano-SiO2 balls.
[0008] Step 2: Preparation of solution C: 0.673g of 2-methylimidazole was dissolved in 30mL of methanol under magnetic stirring.
[0009] Step 3: Preparation of solution D: 150mg of nano-SiO2 balls, 1.5mg of CTMAB were ultrasonically dispersed in 15mL of methanol for 30-40min, 1.2g of cobalt nitrate hexahydrate was added and mixed uniformly.
[0010] Step 4: Hydrothermal reaction: solution D was injected into solution C, and after ultrasonic treatment for 5min, it was transferred to a 50mL high-pressure reaction kettle lined with polytetrafluoroethylene, and heated at 110℃ for 4h.
[0011] Step 5: Post-processing: the reaction was centrifuged and washed with methanol 3 times, and dried at 60℃ for 7h to obtain the target composite material.
[0012] The present application has the following beneficial effects: 1. The present application realizes precise control of the monodisperse spherical structure of the composite material through surfactant-mediated in-situ growth, solving the problem of irregular product in the prior art; 2.
