Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of hydrogen storage materials technology, and relates to a lithium borohydride-based composite hydrogen storage material co-doped with fluoride and MXene and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Lithium borohydride (LiBH4) has attracted widespread attention as an excellent hydrogen storage material due to its extremely high hydrogen storage capacity (LiBH4: 18.5 wt%; Mg(BH4)2: 14.8 wt%; Ca(BH4)2: 11.6 wt%). However, LiBH4 only begins to release hydrogen above 300 °C, with the main hydrogen release process occurring around 400 °C. Moreover, the hydrogen release products LiH and B from pure LiBH4 require very harsh conditions to achieve hydrogenation, such as hydrogen absorption at 600 °C and 35 MPa hydrogen pressure. The poor thermodynamic and kinetic properties of LiBH4, along with its low reversibility, severely limit its development.

[0003] Commonly used methods for modifying LiBH4 for hydrogen storage include adding catalysts, nano-confining, and forming composite systems with other hydrogen storage materials. For example, a related report (Improving the hydrogen storage performance of lithiumborohydride by Ti3C2 MXene, International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 5 44(2019) 29297-29303) describes the preparation of LiBH4- using a ball milling method. x The Ti3C2 composite, in which LiBH4-40 wt% Ti3C2 exhibits initial and peak hydrogen release temperatures of 120 and 408 °C, respectively, which are 180 and 80 °C lower than those of pure LiBH4. It can release 5.37 wt% hydrogen gas within 1 hour at 350 °C, while LiBH4 releases only 0.5 wt% hydrogen gas under the same conditions. Furthermore, a related report (Synergetic action of 0D / 2D / 3D N-doped carbon nanocages and NbB2 nanocatalyst on reversible hydrogen storage performance of lithiumborohydride, Chemical Engineering Journal, 485 (2024) 150090) utilizes nitrogen-doped carbon nanocages to confine metal fluorides NbF5 and LiBH4 to prepare... xLBH@NC-NbF5 composite. Among them, 50LBH@NC-NbF5 composite can start to release hydrogen at 140℃, and release 7.55wt% of hydrogen within 39min in isothermal hydrogen release test at 320℃. The cycle test at 300℃ shows that the composite still maintains 93% of hydrogen release capacity after 20 cycles. Although the above-mentioned catalyst has significantly improved the hydrogen release performance of LiBH4, the resulting composite hydrogen storage system still has the problem of high hydrogen release temperature, with the initial hydrogen release temperature higher than 100℃ and the fastest hydrogen release rate reached at about 400℃. In addition, although the confinement of carbon material can effectively reduce the peak hydrogen release temperature, the low loading amount of the carbon material leads to a significant reduction in the effective hydrogen release capacity of the hydrogen storage system.

[0041] In the following examples, the metal fluoride used is purchased from Alfa Aesar Chemical Co., Ltd., with a purity of ≥95%; the titanium aluminum carbide used is purchased from Xinyan Technology Co., Ltd.

[0042] Example 1 The Ti3C2 MXene and K2NbF7 catalyst for improving the hydrogen release performance of lithium borohydride provided in this example is prepared by the following method: The first step is the preparation method of the Ti3C2 MXene catalyst, which comprises the following steps: (1) 2 g of lithium fluoride is dissolved in 30 mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid (mass fraction of 37%) and 10 mL of deionized water, and fully stirred to obtain an etching solution; (2) 2 g of titanium aluminum carbide (Ti3AlC2) is slowly added to the etching solution, and after mixing at a temperature of 35 °C for 24 hours to remove the aluminum layer, a mixed solution is obtained; (3) The mixed solution is centrifuged at a speed of 8500 rpm for 15 min at room temperature, repeated 7-8 times until a sticky precipitate appears, the PH of the upper liquid is 6-7, and the sticky precipitate is obtained by removing the upper liquid; (4) The sticky precipitate is dispersed in an appropriate amount of deionized water, and ultrasonic treatment is carried out for 120 min under an argon atmosphere.

[0043] (5) After the completion of ultrasonic treatment, the upper liquid is collected after centrifugation at a speed of 3500 rpm for 60 min at room temperature; (6) The collected upper liquid is freeze-dried for 20 h to obtain a few-layer Ti3C2 MXene material.

[0044] The second step is to manually mix LiBH4, Ti3C2 MXene and K2NbF7 materials in a glove box according to a mass percentage of 3:1:1 and load them into a ball mill jar for ball milling treatment to obtain a Ti3C2 MXene and K2NbF7 co-doped LiBH4 composite hydrogen storage material, and the ball milling parameters are as follows: ball milling speed is 400 rpm, time is 30 min, and ball-to-material ratio is 80:1.

[0045] The prepared composite material is marked as LiBH4-20Ti3C2 / 20K2NbF7, which can release hydrogen at about 78.70 °C, reach a peak hydrogen release temperature at 344.25 °C, and finally release 11.46 wt% of hydrogen at 400 °C.

[0046] Figure 1In the figure, (a) shows the XRD patterns of multilayer and few-layer Ti3C2 MXene, and (b) shows the SEM images of few-layer Ti3C2 MXene. To ensure the successful preparation of monolayer Ti3C2 MXene, the XRD patterns of multilayer (denoted as M-Ti3C2 MXene) and monolayer Ti3C2 MXene (denoted as Ti3C2 MXene) were compared. M-Ti3C2 MXene was obtained by vacuum drying of the viscous precipitate obtained in step S2. As shown in Figure (a), the (0 0 2) crystal planes of M-Ti3C2 and Ti3C2 MXene are located at 2θ ≈ 8.48 and 6.90°, respectively, indicating that the interplanar spacing of monolayer Ti3C2 MXene is greater than that of M-Ti3C2 MXene, thus successfully preparing monolayer Ti3C2 MXene. As can be seen from Figure (b), the prepared few-layer Ti3C2MXene exhibits an ultrathin layered structure, indicating that the few-layer Ti3C2MXene was successfully prepared.

[0047] Figure 2 The image shows the XRD pattern of the LiBH4-20Ti3C2 / 20K2NbF7 composite hydrogen storage material. As can be seen from the image, only LiBH4 and the newly generated LiF from Ti3C2 were detected in the composite material, while the peak of K2NbF7 disappeared completely. This may be because K2NbF7 and LiBH4 reacted during the ball milling process to generate LiF and a new phase containing Nb. However, due to the poor crystallinity of the new phase, it could not be detected by XRD.

[0048] Figure 3 The image shows a SEM image of the LiBH4-20Ti3C2 / 20K2NbF7 composite hydrogen storage material. As shown, after a short ball milling time of 30 minutes, the material particles were significantly refined and well dispersed. This is because K2NbF7 has high hardness, which helps to refine the particles. Meanwhile, Ti3C2 MXene acts as a grinding aid and dispersant, improving ball milling efficiency and inhibiting particle agglomeration to some extent.

[0049] Figure 4 The figure shows the temperature-programmed desorption curve of the LiBH4-20Ti3C2 / 20K2NbF7 composite hydrogen storage material, heated from room temperature to 500 °C at a rate of 2 °C / min. As shown in the figure, pure LiBH4 begins to release hydrogen at 312.13 °C, with a peak hydrogen release temperature of approximately 457.93 °C. Heating to 500 °C releases 9.23 wt% hydrogen. In contrast, the LiBH4-20Ti3C2 / 20K2NbF7 composite hydrogen storage material has initial and peak hydrogen release temperatures of 78.70 °C and 344.25 °C, respectively, which are 233.36 and 113.68 °C lower than those of pure LiBH4. It finally releases 11.46 wt% hydrogen at 400 °C.

[0050] Example 2 The difference from Example 1 is that the ball milling parameters in the second step are as follows: the ball milling speed is 400 rpm, the time is 15 min and 180 min respectively, and the ball-to-material ratio is 80:1.

[0051] Figure 5 The temperature-programmed desorption curves of the LiBH4-20Ti3C2 / 20K2NbF7 composite hydrogen storage material after ball milling for 15 min and 180 min are shown in the figure. As shown in the figure, the composite material prepared by ball milling for 15 min exhibits better hydrogen desorption performance, starting to desorb hydrogen at approximately 150 °C, reaching a peak hydrogen desorption temperature of 353.69 °C, and finally releasing 12.15 wt% hydrogen gas at 500 °C. Compared with Example 1, the hydrogen desorption of the sample in Example 2 is significantly higher. The reason for this is that the ball milling time of the sample in Example 2 was shorter, resulting in insufficient mixing or insufficient particle refinement, leading to insufficient contact between the main material LiBH4 and the catalyst, and the catalyst could not fully exert its catalytic effect.

[0052] Furthermore, because Ti3C2 MXene and K2NbF7 have high ball milling efficiency, with Ti3C2 MXene and K2NbF7 acting as grinding aid and dispersant respectively, short-time ball milling can effectively reduce particle size, ensuring complete and uniform mixing of LiBH4, Ti3C2 MXene, and K2NbF7. Therefore, excessively long ball milling times (e.g., 180 minutes) can lead to over-refinement of particles and agglomeration, causing some LiBH4 to be encapsulated. This prevents Ti3C2 MXene and K2NbF7 from fully exerting their catalytic performance, ultimately resulting in a decrease in hydrogen storage capacity.

[0053] Example 3 The difference from Example 1 is that the metal fluoride in the second step is NbF5, and the resulting composite hydrogen storage material is LiBH4-20Ti3C2 / 20NbF5.

[0054] Figure 6 The temperature-programmed desorption curve of the LiBH4-20Ti3C2 / 20NbF5 composite hydrogen storage material is shown in the figure. The peak hydrogen release temperature of the composite material is about 345.14 ℃, and the main hydrogen release process ends at about 390.46 ℃. Finally, the temperature is raised to 500 ℃ to release 10.43 wt% hydrogen.

[0055] As can be seen, compared with Example 3, Example 1, which uses K2NbF7 as a metal fluoride to construct hydrogen storage material, has obvious advantages in hydrogen release temperature, hydrogen release capacity and hydrogen release kinetics.

[0056] Example 4 The difference from Example 1 is that the metal fluoride in the second step is K2TiF6, and LiBH4-20Ti3C2 / 20K2TiF6 composite hydrogen storage material is prepared.

[0057] Figure 7 The temperature-programmed desorption curve of the LiBH4-20Ti3C2 / 20K2TiF6 composite hydrogen storage material is shown in the figure. The composite material begins to release hydrogen at 88.96 °C, then undergoes a rapid hydrogen release process, and finally releases 12.74 wt% hydrogen when the temperature is raised to 500 °C.

[0058] Example 1 and Example 4 have similar hydrogen desorption performance, which may be because both are co-doped with Ti3C2 MXene and bimetallic fluoride, further demonstrating that the synergistic effect between Ti3C2 MXene and bimetallic fluoride can effectively improve the hydrogen desorption performance of LiBH4.

[0059] Comparative Example 1: Compared with Example 1, most of them are the same, except that in the second step, 20 wt% of Ti3C2 MXene is replaced with an equal amount of K2NbF7, that is, the weight ratio of LiBH4 to K2NbF7 is 6:4.

[0060] Figure 8 The figure shows the temperature-programmed desorption curve of the LiBH4-40K2NbF7 composite material, heated from room temperature to 500 °C at a rate of 2 °C / min. As shown, the LiBH4-40K2NbF7 composite material begins to release hydrogen at 88.99 °C, reaches a peak hydrogen release rate at around 350.02 °C, and finally releases 10.25 wt% hydrogen gas when the temperature is raised to 500 °C.

[0061] Compared with Comparative Example 1, the initial hydrogen release temperature and peak hydrogen release temperature of Example 1 decreased by 10.29 °C and 5.95 °C, respectively. Further heating to 500 °C significantly improved the hydrogen release capacity of Example 1 compared to Comparative Example 1, increasing from 10.25 wt% to 12.24 wt%.

[0062] Comparative Example 2: The majority of the contents are the same as in Example 1, except that in the second step, 20 wt% of K2NbF7 is replaced with an equal amount of Ti3C2 MXene, i.e., the weight ratio of LiBH4 to Ti3C2 MXene is 6:4.

[0063] Figure 9The figure shows the temperature-programmed desorption curve of the LiBH4-40Ti3C2 composite material, heated from room temperature to 500 °C at a rate of 2 °C / min. As shown, the initial and peak hydrogen release temperatures are 165.52 °C and 304.96 °C, respectively, and 9.54 wt% hydrogen is finally released at 500 °C.

[0064] Compared with Comparative Example 2, Example 1 has a lower initial hydrogen release temperature and a higher hydrogen release capacity. Its initial hydrogen release temperature decreased by 86.82 °C and its hydrogen release capacity at 500 °C increased by 2.7 wt%.

[0065] The above description of the embodiments is provided to enable those skilled in the art to understand and use the invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made to these embodiments, and the general principles described herein can be applied to other embodiments without inventive effort.
