Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electrochromic materials technology, and particularly relates to a method for preparing a triphenylamine-based copper coordination polymer film and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Electrochromic materials are intelligent materials that can undergo stable and reversible changes in optical properties (such as color and transmittance) under the stimulation of an applied electric field or current. As the core component of electrochromic devices, they have significant application value in fields such as smart windows, displays, and anti-glare rearview mirrors. These materials are mainly divided into two categories: inorganic and organic. Inorganic electrochromic materials (such as transition metal oxides like tungsten oxide and nickel oxide) have advantages such as good environmental stability and strong memory effect, but they generally suffer from defects such as high color-changing voltage, limited color range, and slow response. Organic electrochromic materials (such as violet derivatives and conductive polymers) have advantages such as rich colors, fast response, and wide transmittance adjustment range, but they face challenges such as weak adhesion to the substrate, poor cycle stability, and difficult processing. Currently, single-type electrochromic materials are insufficient to meet the growing demand for intelligent and diversified applications. In addition, the dense thin film structure formed by traditional preparation processes results in a limited interface between the material and the electrolyte and excessively long ion diffusion paths, which severely restricts the full realization of electrochromic performance and has become a key problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field.

[0003] Metal-organic coordination polymers (MOCMs) are multifunctional framework materials formed by the self-assembly of polyhedral organic linkers and metal ions. Electroactive MOCMs, in particular, possess the dual advantages of large specific surface area and high redox activity, making them highly advantageous for constructing highly sensitive electrochemical sensors. However, traditional signal molecule loading methods are limited by the pore size effect and steric hindrance of MOCMs, leading to complex experimental procedures. Therefore, researchers are working to develop intrinsically electroactive MOCMs that can achieve sensing functions through the redox properties of the metal center or the organic ligand itself. However, currently reported endogenously redox-active MOCMs mainly rely on variable-valence metal ions such as copper and cobalt, which pose a risk of framework instability due to oxidation state changes.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a novel metal-organic coordination polymer material with fast response speed, long cycle life, and superior electrochromic properties to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention proposes a method for preparing a triphenylamine-based copper coordination polymer thin film and its application.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present application provides the following technical solutions.

[0007] The present application provides a triphenylamine-based copper coordination polymer film, taking 4,4', 4'', 4'' '- (1, 4-phenylene bis (azatriyl)) tetrabenzoic acid as a ligand and copper ions as a metal coordination center, and being synthesized by an electrochemical deposition method.

Due to the large pi conjugated system and reversible intrinsic redox activity of triphenylamine organic matter, the prepared triphenylamine-based copper coordination polymer film has the advantages of fast response speed, long cycle life and better electrochromic performance.

[0009] Further, the molar ratio of the copper ions to 4,4', 4'', 4'' '- (1, 4-phenylene bis (azatriyl)) tetrabenzoic acid is (2.5-4): 1.

[0015] Further, in step (1), the copper salt is selected from at least one of copper nitrate, copper sulfate, copper chloride and copper acetate.

[0016] Further, in step (1), the potassium salt is potassium sulfate.

[0017] Further, in step (1), the concentration of the copper salt in the copper-containing electrolyte is 5 mmol / L, and the concentration of the potassium salt is 0.1 mol / L.

[0018] Further, in step (2), the electrodeposition is carried out under a constant potential of -0.6 to -0.4 V; the electrodeposition time is 5 to 25 min.

[0019] Further, in step (3), the concentration of 4,4',4'',4'''-(1,4-phenylenebis(triazinyl)) tetrabenzoic acid in the coordination polymer organic end electrolyte is 1.25 to 1.87 mmol / L, and the concentration of tetrabutylammonium perchlorate is 5 to 7.5 mmol / L.

[0020] Further, in step (4), the electrodeposition is carried out under a constant potential of 1 to 1.2 V; the electrodeposition time is 5 to 25 min.

[0021] The application also provides a use of the triphenylamine-based copper coordination polymer film in the preparation of a rigid or flexible device with an electrochromic function.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following advantages and technical effects:

[0023] The application adopts an electrochemical deposition method to prepare a high-stability electroactive triphenylamine-based copper coordination polymer, selects a carboxylic acid ligand 4,4',4'',4'''-(1,4-phenylenebis(triazinyl)) tetrabenzoic acid as an organic ligand, the ligand has a certain flexibility, can appear in different structures in a suitable configuration according to a specific environment, and thus can construct a complex with various structures and functions; the ligand contains multiple carboxyl groups, can be coordinated with metal ions, and is easy to construct a novel coordination polymer; and the ligand structure contains multiple aromatic rings with a conjugated skeleton structure, which can enhance the stability of a coordination polymer skeleton constructed by the aromatic rings.

[0035] With reference to the accompanying drawings, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0036] In order to make the above objectives, characteristics and advantages of the present application more apparent, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0037] The triphenylamine-based copper coordination polymer thin film is synthesized by an electrochemical deposition method, using 4,4',4'',4'''-(1,4-phenylenebis(triazinyl)) tetrabenzoic acid as a ligand and copper ions as a metal coordination center.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the structural formula of the 4,4',4'',4'''-(1,4-phenylenebis(triazinyl)) tetrabenzoic acid is as follows: The present application uses 4,4',4'',4'''-(1,4-phenylenebis(triazinyl)) tetrabenzoic acid as a ligand. Triphenylamine organic matter is an ideal electroactive building unit due to its large pi conjugated system and reversible intrinsic redox activity. By coordinating the triphenylamine organic ligand and the transition metal ion copper ion, an electroactive metal organic coordination polymer material with high stability is prepared, which breaks through the technical bottlenecks of existing materials such as slow response, poor cycle stability and insufficient electrochromic performance.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the molar ratio of the copper ions to the 4,4',4'',4'''-(1,4-phenylenebis(triazinyl)) tetrabenzoic acid is (2.5-4):1.

[0040] The present application provides a preparation method of the triphenylamine-based copper coordination polymer thin film as described in the above technical solution, including the following steps:

[0041] (1) Dissolve a copper salt and a potassium salt in an inorganic solvent to obtain a copper-containing electrolyte;

[0042] (2) taking the copper-containing electrolyte obtained in step (1) as an electrolyte, and taking conductive glass as a working electrode, electrodepositing to obtain conductive glass with a copper nanoparticle film attached thereto;

[0043] (3) dissolving 4,4',4",4"'-(1,4-phenylenebis(triazinyl))tetraphthalic acid and tetrabutylammonium perchlorate in a mixed solvent to obtain a coordination polymer organic end electrolyte;

[0044] (4) taking the coordination polymer organic end electrolyte obtained in step (3) as an electrolyte, and taking the conductive glass with the copper nanoparticle film attached thereto obtained in step (2) as a working electrode, electrodepositing to obtain the triphenylamine-based copper coordination polymer film.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, in step (1), the copper salt is selected from at least one of copper nitrate, copper sulfate, copper chloride and copper acetate; the potassium salt is selected from potassium sulfate; and the inorganic solvent is selected from deionized water.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, in step (1), the concentration of the copper salt in the copper-containing electrolyte is 5 mmol / L, and the concentration of the potassium salt is 0.1 mol / L. Potassium sulfate in the copper-containing electrolyte is a strong electrolyte and is completely dissociated into K + and SO4 2- ions in water, which can significantly increase the ion concentration of the electrolyte and thus improve the conductivity. High conductivity can reduce the energy consumption (reduce the cell voltage) in the electrolysis process, make the current distribution more uniform, and improve the uniformity of the deposited layer.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, in step (2), the conductive glass is selected from FTO conductive glass; the size of the conductive glass is 2x5 cm 2 ; and the process further comprises the steps of cleaning and drying the conductive glass before electrodepositing; the cleaning process specifically comprises: sequentially ultrasonically cleaning the conductive glass in deionized water, ethanol and acetone solution for 15 min; and the drying temperature is 60℃, and the equipment is an oven.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment, in step (2), the electrodepositing is performed under a constant potential condition, the constant potential is -0.6 to -0.4 V (vs. Ag / AgCl), and is further preferably -0.6 to -0.5 V (vs. Ag / AgCl); the electrodepositing time is 5 to 25 min, and is further preferably 10 to 20 min; and the electrodepositing is performed in a three-electrode mode, with a 10 mm x 10 mm x 0.2 mm platinum sheet as a counter electrode and a saturated silver / silver chloride electrode as a reference electrode. The constant potential and the deposition time of the copper nanoparticle film obtained by electrodepositing will significantly affect the morphology, size, distribution of the nanoparticles, and the thickness and conductivity of the film.

[0049] In the preferred embodiment, in step (3), the concentration of 4,4',4'',4'''-(1,4-phenylenebis(azatriyl)) tetrabenzoic acid in the coordination polymer organic end electrolyte is 1.25-1.87 mmol / L, and the concentration of tetrabutylammonium perchlorate is 5-7.5 mmol / L; the mixed solvent is N,N-dimethylformamide and deionized water, and the volume ratio of N,N-dimethylformamide and deionized water is 7:3. The tetrabutylammonium perchlorate in the coordination polymer organic end electrolyte can be completely dissociated into tetrabutylammonium cation (TBA + ) and perchlorate anion (ClO4 - ) in N,N-dimethylformamide, which significantly increases the ion concentration and reduces the solution resistance.

[0050] In the preferred embodiment, in step (4), the electrodeposition is carried out under a constant potential condition, and the constant potential is 1-1.2 V (vs. Ag / AgCl), and is further preferably 1.2 V (vs. Ag / AgCl); the electrodeposition time is 5-25 min, and is further preferably 10-20 min; the electrodeposition is carried out in a three-electrode mode, and a 10 mm x 10 mm x 0.2 mm platinum sheet is used as the counter electrode, and a saturated silver / silver chloride electrode is used as the reference electrode. The constant potential and the deposition time of the electrodeposited triphenylamine-based copper coordination polymer thin film can significantly affect the morphology, size, distribution of the nanoparticles, and the thickness and conductivity of the thin film.

[0051] The application further provides a use of the triphenylamine-based copper coordination polymer thin film as described in the above technical solution in the preparation of a rigid or flexible device with an electrochromic function.

[0052] In the embodiment of the application, room temperature refers to "25±2℃".

[0053] Unless otherwise specified, the raw materials in the embodiment of the application are obtained by a commercial route.

Figure 7 The results in Example 1 show that the triphenylamine-based copper coordination polymer thin film has a coloring efficiency as high as 309.3 cm 2 / C, which means that it has a high charge utilization rate.
