Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aqueous manganese ion energy storage technology, specifically to a method for preparing an aqueous manganese ion energy storage device that can be charged by temperature difference. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of wearable technology and integrated electronic products, the demand for safe and miniaturized energy storage devices (ESD) is increasing. Furthermore, the direct emission of large amounts of low-grade heat (<100 ℃) generated by solar radiation and human production and daily life into the environment leads to significant energy waste and severe thermal pollution. Therefore, developing power systems with low cost, high performance, sustainability, and good durability is extremely necessary for the development of human production and daily life.

[0003] Although low-grade heat energy (below 373 K) is a ubiquitous and inexhaustible energy source with enormous potential for sustainable power generation, it remains largely underutilized. Traditional electronic thermoelectric devices (e-TE) show potential over a wide temperature range, but their poor Seebeck coefficient and the complexity of integrating individual devices significantly limit their development. Ionizing thermoelectric devices (i-TE), as an emerging thermoelectric technology, possess unique advantages such as high thermal power, cost-effectiveness, ease of manufacturing, and high energy output, showing great promise in low-grade heat conversion. Currently, lithium-ion energy storage devices are the most widely used ion energy storage devices; however, the flammability of their electrolytes and the scarcity of lithium resources hinder the application of lithium-ion energy storage devices in ionizing thermoelectric devices, and similarly, their application in large-scale energy storage. Aqueous rechargeable energy storage devices not only solve safety issues but also offer lower resource costs. Aqueous rechargeable energy storage devices with copper (Cu), iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg), zinc (Zn), and manganese (Mn) metal anodes are rapidly developing, with manganese exhibiting unique advantages among these metals.

[0004] Manganese resources are abundant, and manganese ion energy storage devices (Mn ion energy storage devices) possess high capacity (976 mAh / g), high safety, and low redox potential (-1.19 V, relative to the standard hydrogen electrode) have attracted considerable attention. Traditional Mn metal energy storage devices suffer from irreversible capacity decay at the Mn anode due to the influence of aqueous electrolytes. Although using hydrated eutectic electrolytes can suppress the hydrogen evolution reaction, the addition of organic solvents reduces ionic conductivity. Furthermore, alloying manganese cannot completely mitigate the irreversibility of the Mn anode. Therefore, there is an urgent need to explore new energy storage device structures that combine Mn ion energy storage devices with thermoelectric technology to aid in decarbonization and improve economic and environmental benefits. Based on this, this application provides a method for preparing a thermoelectrically rechargeable aqueous manganese ion energy storage device. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention improves the cycle stability of the positive electrode of the manganese ion energy storage device, enabling the manganese ion energy storage device to have high reversible specific capacity and long cycle life, exhibiting excellent electrochemical performance.

[0006] This invention provides a method for fabricating a thermoelectrically rechargeable aqueous manganese ion energy storage device. Utilizing the characteristic that the binding energy between trifluoromethanesulfonate anions and manganese ions is lower than that between water molecules and manganese ions, the device seizes the binding sites between water molecules and manganese ions, altering the solvation structure of manganese ions and reducing the desolvation energy. Furthermore, manganese perchlorate anions diffuse rapidly on the surface of bismuth telluride, quickly adhering to the surface and preventing corrosion of bismuth telluride by trifluoromethanesulfonate anions. Additionally, the positive electrode material is a topological insulator, exhibiting surface or boundary conductivity but non-conductivity internally, resulting in no energy loss during carrier transport.

[0007] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] This invention provides a method for preparing a thermoelectrically rechargeable aqueous manganese ion energy storage device, comprising the following steps:

[0009] S1. An electrolyte is obtained by mixing manganese trifluoromethanesulfonate solution and manganese perchlorate solution.

[0010] S2. Bismuth telluride, acetylene black and polyvinylidene fluoride are mixed to prepare a slurry. The slurry is coated on a cut graphite paper and dried to obtain a bismuth telluride cathode.

[0011] S3. The metal foil is ultrasonically and dried to obtain the negative electrode;

[0012] S4. The energy storage device is obtained by assembling the electrolyte, positive electrode and negative electrode.

[0013] Further, the manganese trifluoromethanesulfonate solution is an aqueous solution of manganese trifluoromethanesulfonate with a concentration of 1-2 mol / L; the manganese perchlorate solution is an aqueous solution of manganese perchlorate with a concentration of 1-2 mol / L.

[0014] Furthermore, the method for preparing the manganese trifluoromethanesulfonate solution is as follows: weigh manganese trifluoromethanesulfonate, put it into a beaker containing deionized water, stir at 800-1000 rpm for 20-40 minutes to obtain the manganese trifluoromethanesulfonate solution.

[0015] Furthermore, the method for preparing the manganese perchlorate solution is as follows: weigh manganese perchlorate, put it into a beaker containing deionized water, stir at 800-1000 rpm for 20-40 minutes to obtain the manganese perchlorate solution.

[0016] Furthermore, the electrolyte is prepared by mixing manganese trifluoromethanesulfonate solution and manganese perchlorate solution, stirring at 800-1000 rpm for 1-2 hours.

[0017] Furthermore, the volume ratio of the manganese trifluoromethanesulfonate solution to the manganese perchlorate solution is 3-7:3-7.

[0018] Furthermore, the weight ratio of bismuth telluride, acetylene black, and polyvinylidene fluoride is 10.5-21:3-6:1.5-3.

[0019] Furthermore, the drying temperature in S2 is 50-60℃, and the drying time is 40-60 min.

[0020] Further, the preparation method of the bismuth telluride includes: adding polyvinylpyrrolidone to ethylene glycol, mixing, stirring at 1500-2000 rpm for 6-10 hours until the solution is transparent, adding sodium hydroxide, tellurium dioxide and bismuth trichloride, stirring at 1500-2000 rpm for 3-6 hours until the solution is transparent; transferring to a reaction vessel, carrying out a hydrothermal reaction, and after the reaction is completed, washing and drying to obtain the bismuth telluride.

[0021] Furthermore, the ratio of polyvinylpyrrolidone, ethylene glycol, sodium hydroxide, tellurium dioxide and bismuth trichloride is 0.4-0.8g: 25-50mL: 0.5-1.0g: 0.24-0.48g: 0.315-0.63g.

[0022] Furthermore, the hydrothermal reaction temperature is 180-220℃, and the reaction time is 9-12 hours.

[0023] Furthermore, the cleaning process involves multiple cleaning cycles using anhydrous ethanol and deionized water, respectively.

[0024] Furthermore, the metal foil is a zinc metal foil, and the ultrasound in S3 is performed by ultrasound in anhydrous ethanol for 10-30 minutes.

[0025] The advantages of this invention are:

[0026] In this invention, a thermoelectrically rechargeable aqueous manganese ion energy storage device utilizes trifluoromethanesulfonate ions. Because the binding energy between trifluoromethanesulfonate ions and manganese ions is lower than that between water molecules and manganese ions, the solvation structure of manganese ions is altered. This facilitates desolvation of manganese ions during storage, making them easier to embed into the bismuth telluride cathode material. Furthermore, there is no energy loss in carrier transport on the surface of the bismuth telluride cathode material, thus improving the capacity and thermal conversion efficiency of the manganese ion energy storage device. In addition, since perchlorate ions diffuse to the surface of the bismuth telluride cathode material faster than trifluoromethanesulfonate ions, the cathode material is protected from corrosion by trifluoromethanesulfonate ions, thereby improving the cycle stability of the manganese ion energy storage device's cathode. This results in a high reversible specific capacity and long cycle life, exhibiting superior electrochemical performance.

[0027] The thermoelectrically rechargeable aqueous manganese ion energy storage device of the present invention provides a high reversible capacity of 400 mAh / g at a current density of 0.5 A / g.

[0028] The aqueous manganese ion energy storage device of this invention reduces the energy required for manganese ion desolvation by substituting water molecules with trifluoromethanesulfonate ions, thus avoiding the problem of difficult manganese ion intercalation. Furthermore, the addition of perchlorate ions increases the pH of the electrolyte, allowing perchlorate ions to diffuse more quickly to the bismuth telluride surface, avoiding the problem of the positive electrode being easily corroded by trifluoromethanesulfonate ions. This achieves rapid ion diffusion kinetics and high cycling stability in the manganese ion energy storage device.

[0029] When the electrolyte of this invention is applied to an aqueous manganese ion energy storage device, it can be used for thermoelectric power generation, which has the advantages of being environmentally friendly and highly safe, and has great application potential in the field of electrochemistry.

[0046] Example 1

[0047] (1) Electrolyte preparation: At room temperature, 1.775 g of manganese trifluoromethanesulfonate (Mn(OTF)2) was dissolved in 5 mL of deionized water and stirred at 900 rpm for 30 minutes to obtain a 1 mol / L manganese trifluoromethanesulfonate solution;

[0052] (3) Test

[0053] The solution was injected into a sealed capillary tube, and a laser wavelength of 532 nanometers was selected for testing. For example... Figure 2 The images shown are the Raman spectra of manganese trifluoromethanesulfonate solution, manganese perchlorate solution, and electrolyte, respectively. It can be seen that OTF... - sulfate ions (SO) in 3- The peak position is at 1030cm. -1 A slight red shift compared to the standard peak position indicates that the OTF - The solvation of manganese ions was altered. Using titanium electrodes as both positive and negative electrodes, with a 2cm gap between them, three solutions were used sequentially as electrolytes for testing.

Since the transverse intercept of the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is the resistance, according to the calculation formula, it can be seen that the manganese trifluoromethanesulfonate solution has the highest conductivity, followed by the electrolyte, and the manganese perchlorate solution has the lowest conductivity. Therefore, the electrolyte has better conductivity.
