Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electrochemical energy storage technology, specifically relating to a biomass-based solid electrolyte, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing global demand for clean energy and efficient energy storage technologies, the market for new energy vehicles is expanding rapidly, and battery packs are a core technology in these vehicles. Supercapacitors, due to their high power density, rapid charging and discharging, and long cycle life, have broad application prospects in the auxiliary power systems, energy recovery systems, and applications requiring rapid charging and discharging (such as smart grids and pulse power supplies) of electric vehicles. As an auxiliary energy source for secondary batteries (such as lithium-ion batteries), they can be used in conjunction with secondary batteries to form a stable, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly power source for automobiles. In this process, the secondary battery is mainly responsible for solving the problems of charging and storing energy for the vehicle and providing sustained power, while the supercapacitor mainly provides high-power auxiliary power during vehicle start-up and acceleration. Furthermore, supercapacitors can collect and store energy during vehicle braking, idling, deceleration, downhill driving, and other braking processes. They safely convert excess irregular power generated during vehicle operation into charging energy for the battery, protecting the battery's safe and stable operation. This energy recovery and reuse method effectively reduces the vehicle's energy consumption and emissions.

[0003] However, supercapacitors also have significant structural defects, such as low energy density, poor mechanical properties, and susceptibility to electrolyte leakage. In recent years, with the rapid development of electric vehicles and energy storage systems, the demand for high-performance electrolytes has been increasing. The electrolyte is one of the core components of a supercapacitor, and its performance directly affects the supercapacitor's energy density, power density, operating voltage, temperature adaptability, cycle life, and safety. Compared to liquid electrolytes, solid-state electrolytes offer higher safety, higher energy density, a wider operating temperature range, and longer lifespan. These advantages make solid-state electrolytes a promising candidate for application in battery technology. In recent years, various polymer-based hydrogels have been extensively studied, such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyacrylamide (PAAm), polyacrylic acid (PAA), and polyethylene glycol (PEG). For example, CN 116959893 A describes an ink / chitosan / polyacrylic acid composite hydrogel electrolyte and its preparation method and application. This composite hydrogel electrolyte is composed of ink, chitosan, polyacrylic acid, and ferric chloride hexahydrate. The specific preparation steps include: mixing traditional Chinese ink with an acetic acid solution of chitosan, then sequentially adding acrylic acid, ferric chloride hexahydrate, and an initiator; heating to initiate acrylic acid polymerization to obtain a pregel; and immersing the pregel in an aqueous sodium chloride solution to obtain a composite hydrogel electrolyte. This invention has a simple preparation method, and the prepared composite hydrogel electrolyte exhibits high conductivity and excellent self-healing properties. Its conductivity and self-healing properties can be controlled by adjusting the ink content, chitosan and iron ion concentrations, and immersion time. However, polymer-based hydrogels exhibit lower electrochemical performance under deformation and lower mechanical properties in the presence of high-concentration salt solutions. To obtain higher ionic conductivity, a mature method is used: incorporating high-conductivity materials, such as carbon nanotubes, into the hydrogel matrix. Graphene oxide or MXene For example, CN 118553537 A discloses a graphene-based composite electrode material and its supercapacitor, solving the problems of low specific capacity and complex electrode preparation process of graphene electrode materials, belonging to the field of electrochemical energy storage technology. This invention combines transition metal ions with catechol, uses laser direct writing technology to prepare interdigitated graphene electrodes, and employs electrochemical deposition technology to deposit the catechol / transition metal composite on the graphene electrodes, thus preparing a graphene composite electrode material with high specific capacity and high conductivity. This invention can significantly improve the energy storage characteristics of graphene electrodes, improve the wettability between graphene and electrolytes, and the composite electrode material has excellent conductivity. Furthermore, the process is simple and has a short cycle time. However, inevitably, the additives will disrupt the compactness of the hydrogel matrix, leading to a significant reduction in its mechanical properties.

[0004] Ideally, hydrogel electrolytes should maintain their structural integrity, rapidly recovering from their deformed state even under bending, twisting, and compression. Constructing a double-network structure for hydrogel electrolytes is beneficial for energy dissipation and has proven to be an effective method. Sodium alginate (SA) is a natural polymer rich in functional groups (hydroxyl and carboxyl groups). Utilizing the abundant functional groups of SA molecules and the long-chain structure of the polymer, hydrogel electrolytes with a double-network structure can be constructed through interactions between molecular chains. When the hydrogel electrolyte deforms under stress loads, its unique double-network structure accelerates energy dissipation through the breaking of physical bonds. Simultaneously, the formation of the three-dimensional porous network acts as a channel for ion transport, giving the hydrogel electrolyte higher conductivity. Although various double-network hydrogels have been designed and reported in previous work, many hydrogels can only be prepared under conditions requiring initiators, crosslinking agents, or additional conditions (heating, UV irradiation, ice bath). Therefore, developing a simple, rapid, and low-consumption method for preparing double-network hydrogel electrolytes remains a challenge. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a biomass-based solid electrolyte, its preparation method and application. The electrolyte is prepared by forming an interpenetrating double-network hydrogel with sodium alginate and polyvinyl alcohol through hydrogen bonding, introducing graphene into the hydrogel, and using microfluidic technology and ion crosslinking at low salt concentration to significantly improve the electrochemical and mechanical properties of the electrolyte.

Sodium alginate is low in cost, abundant in source, and has advantages such as excellent water retention, biodegradability, biocompatibility and stability; polyvinyl alcohol is a colorless, non-toxic, non-corrosive and biodegradable water-soluble high molecular organic polymer, which is widely used in the field of flexible materials.

[0065] The solid electrolyte samples and supercapacitor samples prepared in Examples 1-7 were tested, and the results are shown in Table 1 below:

[0066]

[0067] The solid electrolyte samples and supercapacitor samples prepared in Examples 1-4 were tested. The results showed that the solid electrolyte with 6.9% sodium alginate in Example 3 exhibited the best electrochemical performance and good mechanical properties. When the mass percentage of sodium alginate exceeded 8.6%, a 3D mesh structure could not be formed, resulting in a significant decrease in specific capacitance, tensile stress, and elongation, an increase in impedance, and a deterioration in technical performance.

[0068] A comparison of the test results of the solid electrolyte samples and supercapacitor samples in Examples 5-7 shows that the specific capacitance of the solid electrolyte increases with the increase of NaCl content. This is because the increased Na+ content allows the supercapacitor to transport more conductive ions per unit time, improving the ion transport efficiency of the solid electrolyte. On the other hand, the addition of NaCl also causes a salting-out effect in the hydrogel, making the solid electrolyte more robust. Therefore, the maximum tensile stress of the solid electrolyte increases with the increase of NaCl content, while the maximum elongation gradually decreases. When the mass percentage of NaCl added is 4.8%, the solid electrolyte exhibits relatively ideal mechanical and electrochemical properties.
