Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of triboelectric nanogenerators, and relates to a composite material, its preparation method, and a triboelectric nanogenerator. Background Technology
[0002] Tribovolt-nanogenerators (TVNGs), as an emerging technology for converting mechanical energy based on the built-in electric field at a semiconductor interface, demonstrate significant research value and development potential in the field of micro-energy because they can directly convert mechanical energy generated during the friction process into direct current signals, avoiding complex rectifier circuits. The performance and stability of TVNGs fundamentally depend on the efficiency of charge excitation, separation, and transport at their triboelectric interface, as well as the physical and chemical stability of the interface itself.
[0003] Currently, researchers have employed various interface contact modes to achieve high energy conversion efficiency. For example, while the sliding friction mode is beneficial for maintaining continuous charge excitation, the forced relative motion of the interface inevitably causes atomic-level interlocking and significant shear stress, leading to severe frictional wear, resulting in rapid degradation of output performance and a significant reduction in device lifespan. The contact-separation mode, although effective in mitigating interface wear and improving mechanical durability, typically limits the effective contact area and energy conversion time per unit cycle, making it difficult to improve output performance. Therefore, how to simultaneously achieve high output performance and high operational stability of TVNGs under any operating mode constitutes a long-standing technical challenge in this field.
[0004] Therefore, developing a material that can fundamentally and synergistically improve the output performance and long-term operational stability of TVNGs has become the key to overcoming existing technological bottlenecks and promoting their practical application. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention aims to provide a composite material, its preparation method, and a triboelectric nanogenerator. This invention achieves simultaneous improvement in material performance and stability through the synergistic effect of protonation and metal-nitrogen coordination bonds. The protonation effect of the protic acid effectively increases the carrier concentration and conductivity of the polymer. Simultaneously, the transition metal nanoparticles form strong coordination bonds with the amine or imine groups in the polymer molecular chain, greatly enhancing the interfacial bonding and structural integrity between the inorganic nanoparticles and the organic polymer matrix. This synergistic effect jointly promotes the efficient separation and rapid transport of triboelectric charges and significantly improves the mechanical stability of the device.

[0042] The "range" disclosed in this invention can be defined in the form of a lower limit and an upper limit. A given range is defined by selecting a lower limit and an upper limit, which define the boundaries of the specific range. This type of range definition can include or exclude endpoints; any endpoint can be independently included or excluded, and they can be arbitrarily combined, meaning any lower limit can be combined with any upper limit to form a range. For example, if ranges of 60~120 and 80~110 are listed for specific parameters, it is understood that ranges of 60~110 and 80~120 are also expected. Furthermore, if minimum range values 1 and 2 are listed, and maximum range values 3, 4, and 5 are also listed, then the following ranges are all expected: 1~3, 1~4, 1~5, 2~3, 2~4, and 2~5. In this invention, unless otherwise stated, the numerical range "a~b" represents a shortened representation of any combination of real numbers between a and b, where a and b are real numbers. For example, the numerical range "0~5" indicates that all real numbers between "0" and "5" have been listed in this article; "0~5" is simply a shortened representation of these numerical combinations. Furthermore, when a parameter is described as an integer ≥2, it is equivalent to listing integers such as 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, etc. For instance, when a parameter is described as an integer selected from "2~10", it is equivalent to listing the integers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.

The detailed execution order of each step should be determined by its function and possible internal logic. Unless otherwise specified, all steps of the present invention may be performed sequentially or randomly, but are preferably performed sequentially. For example, if the method includes steps (a) and (b), it means that the method may include steps (a) and (b) performed sequentially, or it may include steps (b) and (a) performed sequentially. For example, the method may also include step (c), meaning that step (c) can be added to the method in any order. For example, the method may include steps (a), (b), and (c), or it may include steps (a), (c), and (b), or it may include steps (c), (a), and (b), etc.

They can be considered as providing both closed-ended features or solutions comprised of the listed members and open-ended features or solutions that include additional members beyond the listed members. For example, A includes a1, a2, and a3. Unless otherwise specified, it may also include other members or exclude additional members. This can be considered as providing both technical features or solutions where "A is composed of a1, a2, and a3" or "A is selected from a1, a2, and a3," and technical features or solutions where "A includes not only a1, a2, and a3, but also other members."

[0135] The only difference between this application example and application example 1 is that the composite material prepared in example 18 is used, while the other conditions and parameters are exactly the same as in application example 1.
[0136] Comparative Application Example 1
[0137] The only difference between this comparative application example and application example 1 is that the composite material prepared in comparative example 1 is used; all other conditions and parameters are exactly the same as in application example 1.
[0138] Comparative Application Example 2
[0139] The only difference between this comparative application example and application example 1 is that the composite material prepared in comparative example 2 is used; all other conditions and parameters are exactly the same as in application example 1.
[0140] The electrical conductivity of the composite materials prepared in the test examples and comparative examples was obtained, and the current and voltage of the triboelectric nanogenerators prepared in the application examples and comparative application examples were obtained. Five sets of parallel tests were performed for both the examples and comparative examples, and the average value of the test results was taken. "-" indicates that the measurement was not possible. The test results are shown in Table 1.
[0141] Table 1
[0142]
[0143] As can be seen from Table 1, based on application examples 1-3, the electrical conductivity of the composite material described in this invention can reach above 9.89 S / m, the current can reach above 9.16 μA, and the voltage can reach above 5.83 V. When the HCl concentration is 1 M and the NiO concentration is 7.5 wt%, the current and voltage reach their maximum values.
[0144] A comparison of Application Examples 1 and 4-5 shows that the molar concentration of the protonic acid used in the preparation of the composite material described in this invention affects its performance. Controlling the molar concentration of the protonic acid solution between 0.5 mol / L and 1.5 mol / L yields composite materials with better performance. If the molar concentration of the protonic acid solution is too low, protonation is insufficient, resulting in low conductivity of polyaniline (PANI) and limited output. If the molar concentration of the protonic acid solution is too high, excessive H+ will... + It may trigger side reactions, generating PANI isomers, which disrupt the conjugated structure of the molecular chain, leading to a decrease in conductivity and output performance.
[0145] A comparison of Application Example 1 and Application Examples 6-7 shows that the amount of metal nanoparticles added during the preparation of the composite material of the present invention affects its performance. When the amount of metal nanoparticles added is controlled at 5% to 10% of the mass of aniline monomer, the composite material has better performance. If the amount of metal nanoparticles added is too low, the coordination bond enhancement effect is not significant. If the amount of metal nanoparticles added is too high, the metal nanoparticles are prone to agglomeration, increasing interface defects, hindering charge transport, and leading to performance degradation.
[0146] A comparison of Application Example 1 and Comparative Application Example 1 shows that, during the preparation of the composite material described in this invention, in an acidic environment, nitrogen atoms on the polymer backbone of polyaniline capture protons (H atoms). + This causes the material to transform from an insulating state to a conductive emerald green imine salt form, thereby establishing an efficient charge transport path.
[0147] As can be seen from the comparison between Application Example 1 and Comparative Application Example 2, the addition of metal nanoparticles and the introduction of metal-nitrogen to form coordination bonds during the preparation of the composite material of the present invention can significantly improve the performance and stability of the material.
[0148] The optimal triboelectric nanogenerator prepared according to Example 1 of this invention was systematically tested:
[0149] (1) Effect of pressure: When tested in the pressure range of 1N to 50N, the current and voltage of the device increased with increasing pressure and then leveled off. Increased pressure enhanced interfacial contact, promoted the breaking and reconstruction of more chemical bonds, and thus excited more electron-hole pairs.
[0150] (2) Frequency effect: When tested in the frequency range of 0.1Hz to 5Hz, the current and voltage of the device increased significantly with increasing frequency. High-frequency mechanical excitation helps to improve charge separation and collection efficiency.
[0151] (3) Cyclic stability: After 50,000 continuous cycles under 8N pressure and 1Hz frequency, the output performance of the device did not show significant attenuation, the pulse waveform remained consistent, and the performance retention rate was almost 100%.
[0152] (4) Long-term stability: After storing the device in a natural environment (room temperature, fluctuating humidity) for 6 months, the performance was tested and the output performance retention rate reached almost 100%, showing excellent environmental stability.
