Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of energy storage technology, specifically to a wood-based self-supporting flexible electrode material for energy storage and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] In the near future, flexible wearable smart electronic devices will significantly change our lifestyles and bring us great convenience. However, currently, flexible electrochemical energy storage units lag behind other components of flexible wearable smart electronic devices, becoming a bottleneck in their development. Against this backdrop, flexible electrochemical energy storage devices capable of maintaining high-quality energy storage performance and long-term stability under continuous mechanical deformation have attracted considerable attention. The energy storage capacity of electrochemical energy storage devices (such as supercapacitors and lithium-ion batteries) largely depends on the performance of electrode materials (including microstructure, conductivity, and specific surface area). Therefore, a key challenge for high-performance flexible electrochemical energy storage devices is designing a flexible, self-supporting electrode material.

[0003] Generally, electrochemical energy storage devices (such as supercapacitors and batteries) share fundamental processes involving ion diffusion and storage, as well as electron transport in electrode materials. Therefore, electrode materials must rapidly transport ions to the electrode and rapidly transport electrons to the external circuitry. 3D carbon framework materials comprise a continuous 3D conductive scaffold that facilitates electron transport and an open 3D porous network that facilitates ion diffusion. This carbon framework structure achieves large ion diffusion kinetics and high electronic conductivity even in thick, bulk electrodes, which is ideal for realizing high-rate and high-capacity energy storage in electrode materials. Furthermore, three-dimensional carbon framework materials are not only ideal and efficient scaffold materials for loading electrochemically active materials, but also flexible electrode materials with enormous application potential. Therefore, in recent years, researchers have focused on discovering flexible self-supporting 3D carbon framework electrode materials. Flexible three-dimensional carbon framework materials (made from carbon, carbon nanotubes, graphene, carbon nanosheets, etc.) have been successfully prepared. However, these flexible three-dimensional carbon framework materials typically only contain disordered three-dimensional conductive carbon scaffolds with disordered pores. Compared to oriented three-dimensional carbon framework structures, disordered three-dimensional carbon framework structures may not be able to achieve the potential of fully flexible self-supporting electrode materials due to their lower mass transport and high torsion. Furthermore, with the increasing global environmental pollution and rapid climate change, flexible oriented three-dimensional carbon framework materials and their fabrication processes should be environmentally friendly, inexpensive, and relatively simple.

[0004] Therefore, this application is submitted. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a wood-based self-supporting flexible electrode material for energy storage and its preparation method. The wood-based self-supporting flexible electrode material of this invention has low twist and ordered conduction paths, enabling simultaneous and better rapid ion diffusion and charge conduction. Directional microchannel carbon materials were prepared by carbonizing delignin-treated poplar wood chips. The delignin-treated wood-based carbon materials possess large interductular lumens and a uniquely arranged microchannel structure, exhibiting good flexibility and significantly improving cycling stability and first-efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A method for preparing a wood-based self-supporting flexible electrode material for energy storage includes the following steps:

[0008] (1) Add poplar wood slices to sodium chlorite solution and boil until the poplar wood slices turn completely white, then rinse with deoxygenated water;

[0009] (2) Place poplar wood chips in a tube furnace and heat them to 380-420°C at the first heating rate, and then heat them to 600-800°C at the second heating rate to carbonize them, thereby obtaining the precursor.

[0010] (3) Add aniline and ethanol to the perchloric acid solution and stir until homogeneous to obtain the first mixture; add ammonium persulfate to the perchloric acid solution to obtain the second mixture; stir the first mixture and the second mixture until homogeneous to obtain the modified solution;

[0011] (4) The precursor is soaked in the modified liquid, washed, and dried to obtain a wood-based self-supporting flexible electrode material for energy storage.

[0012] This invention first boils poplar wood chips in a sodium chlorite solution until the chips turn completely white. Then, the chips are treated with a specific heating rate to pyrolyze cellulose and hemicellulose, generating volatile gases (CO, CH4) and forming preliminary pores (pore size 1-5 μm). Carbonization is then performed at a high temperature (600-800℃), increasing the graphitization degree of the carbon skeleton, enhancing conductivity, and increasing specific surface area. Subsequently, the chips are treated with a solution containing specific concentrations of aniline and ammonium persulfate to obtain a wood-based self-supporting flexible electrode material with low distortion and ordered conduction pathways. This wood-based self-supporting flexible electrode material can simultaneously achieve better rapid ion diffusion and rapid charge conduction. A directional microchannel carbon material was prepared by carbonizing delignin-treated poplar wood chips. The delignin-treated wood-based carbon material has a large interductal lumen and a unique arrangement of microchannels, exhibiting good flexibility and significantly improving cycle stability and first-efficiency.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sodium chlorite solution has a mass concentration of 4-10% and a pH of 4-5, wherein the pH of the sodium chlorite solution is adjusted to 4-5 by acid.

[0014] Treatment with a sodium chlorite solution at pH 4–5 can selectively decompose the phenolic structure in lignin through oxidation, preserving the cellulose skeleton and preventing the collapse of microchannels in the wood. Simultaneously, the rate of sodium chlorite decomposition into ClO2 and Cl- is balanced, reducing excessive oxidation of cellulose and hemicellulose. When the pH is below 4, lignin rapidly oxidizes and degrades, but cellulose and hemicellulose chains break, leading to a decrease in the mechanical strength and electrochemical properties of the wood chips. When the pH is above 5, the oxidizing power of sodium chlorite weakens, resulting in low lignin removal efficiency (experiments show that lignin removal time is extended by 2 times at pH 7). Residual lignin hinders the formation of microchannels during subsequent carbonization. Therefore, strict control of the pH at 4–5 is necessary.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first heating rate is 4 to 6 °C / min.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the second heating rate is 0.5 to 2 °C / min.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the carbonization time is 2 to 4 hours.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the ratio of the amount of aniline, ethanol and perchloric acid solution is (0.1-2) mmol: (10-15) mL: (40-100) mL.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the soaking time is 15 to 30 minutes.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the molar concentration of the perchloric acid solution is 0.5 to 2 mol / L.

[0021] The present invention also provides a wood-based self-supporting flexible electrode material for energy storage, which is prepared by the preparation method described above.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: the wood-based self-supporting flexible electrode material described in this invention has low twist and an ordered conduction path, enabling simultaneous and better rapid ion diffusion and rapid charge conduction. Directional microchannel carbon materials were prepared by carbonizing delignin-treated poplar wood chips. The delignin-treated wood-based carbon materials possess a large interductal lumen and a uniquely arranged microchannel structure, exhibiting good flexibility and significantly improving cycling stability and first-efficiency.
