Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of solid hydrogen storage materials, and in particular to a vanadium-based solid hydrogen storage material and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Hydrogen energy is a readily available, clean, low-carbon, flexible, efficient, and widely applicable secondary energy source, serving as a crucial vehicle for achieving green and low-carbon transformation in energy consumption. One of the key challenges of hydrogen energy is the difficulty in achieving safe and efficient storage and transportation. Current traditional storage methods include high-pressure gaseous storage and transportation, and cryogenic liquid storage and transportation. Solid-state hydrogen storage, due to its high safety, high volumetric density, and excellent cycle performance, is a very promising storage and transportation method.

[0003] V-based hydrogen storage alloys belong to the BCC-type solid-state hydrogen storage alloys. Due to their high theoretical hydrogen storage capacity and low hydrogen absorption / desorption temperatures, they are among the most promising hydrogen storage materials. However, traditional V-based hydrogen storage alloys can only reversibly release a portion of hydrogen at room temperature and pressure, resulting in a low effective hydrogen absorption capacity. After pure V absorbs hydrogen, only about half of the hydrogen can be reversibly released, with an effective hydrogen absorption capacity of only about 1.96%. Furthermore, conventional V-based hydrogen storage alloys require high-temperature activation before use, which poses difficulties and limitations for their practical applications. In addition, during use, V and the metals such as Ti often added to V-based hydrogen storage alloys are prone to surface oxidation. The resulting oxides can hinder hydrogen absorption and release, leading to a significant decrease in the cycle stability of V-based hydrogen storage alloys. These shortcomings limit the application of V-based hydrogen storage alloys.

[0004] Patent CN119530626A discloses an easily activated, high-capacity vanadium-based hydrogen storage alloy and its preparation method. This method achieves easily activated, high-capacity, and well-cycled hydrogen storage alloys by adding trace amounts of Ce, making it suitable for large-scale production and commercial applications. The small amount of Ce prevents localized oxidation during the smelting process and avoids the problem of excessive rare earth elements reducing hydrogen absorption capacity, thus achieving high hydrogen storage capacity while improving activation performance. However, it does not effectively address the issue of easy oxidation of vanadium and other metals such as Ti, which are commonly added to vanadium-based hydrogen storage alloys, during use.

[0005] Patent CN113502424B discloses a low-temperature activated vanadium-based hydrogen storage alloy, its preparation method, and its applications. By adding rare earth element RE and controlling its content, the prepared vanadium-based hydrogen storage alloy can be directly activated at low temperatures while ensuring high hydrogen absorption and release capabilities, eliminating the need for high-temperature or high-pressure activation processes. Furthermore, the preparation method is simple, rapid, and effective. However, it does not adequately address the issue of easy oxidation of vanadium (V) and other metals such as titanium (Ti) commonly added to vanadium-based hydrogen storage alloys during use, and the effective hydrogen release capability still needs further improvement.

[0006] Therefore, it is now necessary to improve existing technologies to provide more reliable solutions. Summary of the Invention

[0031] In this invention, by adding metallized modified carbon nanotubes as a modifier to a conventional vanadium-based hydrogen storage alloy system, the hydrogen absorption and desorption capacity can be effectively increased, and the cycle stability can be improved. The preparation and mechanism of action of the metallized modified carbon nanotubes are described in detail below to facilitate understanding of this invention. I. Preparation Mechanism

[0032] First, carbon nanotubes are pretreated by alkali washing and acid washing to purify them. At the same time, strong acid oxidation introduces abundant carboxyl groups on the surface of the carbon nanotubes, which facilitates the subsequent carbon dot loading process. Then, using pretreated carbon nanotubes as a carrier, and glucose, L-ascorbic acid, and N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine sulfate as carbon sources for the carbon dots, and NdCl3 as a metal-doped neodymium source, a reducing carbon dot was synthesized in situ on the carrier via a one-pot hydrothermal method, resulting in modified carbon nanotubes. In this process, the pretreated carbon nanotubes were first reacted with La...3+ Mixed, La 3+ It coordinates with the carboxyl groups on the surface of pretreated carbon nanotubes, and then mixes with carbon dot raw materials. Glucose, L-ascorbic acid, and N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine sulfate react with La through their oxygen-containing functional groups. 3+ The coordination of Nd and Nd leads to their abundant and uniform binding to the surface of pretreated carbon nanotubes, while Nd 3+ La binds to pretreated carbon nanotubes through coordination with carboxyl groups on the surface of carbon nanotubes and oxygen-containing functional groups in the aforementioned raw materials. 3+ and Nd 3+ Throughout this process, the Overseas Chinese Federation played a crucial role, ensuring that carbon dot raw materials were abundantly and uniformly bonded to the surface of pretreated carbon nanotubes, thus creating favorable conditions for in-situ loading of carbon dots onto the pretreated carbon nanotubes. Subsequently, under high-temperature hydrothermal reaction conditions, La... 3+ and Nd 3+ The corresponding oxides are formed, which covalently bind the carbon dots to the pretreated carbon nanotubes.

[0033] Finally, using CoSO4 and FeSO4 as Co and Fe sources respectively, a Co-Fe alloy was coated on the surface of the modified carbon nanotubes using a chemical plating process to achieve metallization modification of the carbon nanotubes and obtain metallized modified carbon nanotubes. II. Mechanism of Action

[0034] V-based hydrogen storage alloys belong to the BCC-type solid-state hydrogen storage alloys. Due to their high theoretical hydrogen storage capacity and low hydrogen absorption / desorption temperatures, they are among the most promising hydrogen storage materials. However, traditional V-based hydrogen storage alloys can only reversibly release a portion of hydrogen at room temperature and pressure, resulting in a low effective hydrogen absorption capacity. After pure V absorbs hydrogen, only about half of the hydrogen can be reversibly released, with an effective hydrogen absorption capacity of only about 1.96%. Furthermore, conventional V-based hydrogen storage alloys require high-temperature activation before use, which poses difficulties and limitations for their practical applications. In addition, during use, V and the metals such as Ti often added to V-based hydrogen storage alloys are prone to surface oxidation. The resulting oxides can hinder hydrogen absorption and release, leading to a significant decrease in the cycle stability of V-based hydrogen storage alloys. These defects limit the application of V-based hydrogen storage alloys. In this invention, the addition of metallized modified carbon nanotubes can effectively improve the above-mentioned defects of V-based hydrogen storage alloys, thereby improving their hydrogen storage capacity and hydrogen absorption / desorption performance.

[0035] 1. The role of carbon nanotubes: (1) Carbon nanotubes are a material with high thermal conductivity, which can improve the thermal conductivity efficiency during hydrogen absorption and desorption, and improve the hydrogen absorption and desorption kinetics of hydrogen storage alloys. Related studies have shown that carbon nanotubes have excellent catalytic performance for hydrogen absorption and desorption processes of hydrogen storage alloys: through their unique internal structure, they can provide hydrogen diffusion channels, shorten the hydrogen diffusion distance, and increase the diffusion rate. Carbon nanotubes are prone to segregation at grain boundaries, which increases the diffusion of hydrogen at grain boundaries (Wu CZ, Wang P, Yao X, et al. Effect of carbon / noncarbon addition on hydrogen storage behaviors of magnesium hydride[J]. Journal of Alloys and Compounds, 2006, 414:259-264.DOI:10.1016 / J.JALLCOM.2005.07.021.) (2) Carbon nanotubes have a nanoscale tubular structure, abundant nanoscale pores and high specific surface area. Theoretically, the hydrogen storage capacity can reach 9.9 wt% (Li Ge. Properties and applications of hydrogen storage carbon nanotube composite materials [J]. Journal of Chengdu Textile College, 2006, 23(1):3.DOI:10.3969 / j.issn.1008-5580.2006.01.010.). Adding them to hydrogen storage alloys can effectively improve the hydrogen storage density.

[0036] However, the metal elements in carbon nanotubes have poor wettability with V-based hydrogen storage alloys, making them prone to agglomeration and hindering uniform dispersion, thus preventing them from fully realizing their reinforcing properties. In this invention, by coating the surface of carbon nanotubes with a CoFe alloy, the wettability between carbon nanotubes and V-based hydrogen storage alloys can be greatly improved, enabling uniform dispersion. Furthermore, Co has good adhesion properties, facilitating the formation of a strong coating layer on the carbon nanotubes. Meanwhile, Co and Fe entering the alloy system can also play the following roles: Fe can reduce the formation energy barrier of hydrides, reduce the stability of gold hydrides, promote hydrogen adsorption, and improve hydrogen storage performance; while Co can improve the cycle life of the alloy, and can improve the hydrogen desorption efficiency and shorten the hydrogen saturation time (Li Duo, Lou Yuwan, Du Junlin, et al. Research progress of vanadium-based hydrogen storage alloys [J]. Materials Reports, 2015, 29(23):6.DOI:10.11896 / j.issn.1005-023X.2015.023.017.).

[0037] 2. The function of carbon dots: The carbon dots in this invention effectively inherit the reducing properties of precursors glucose and L-ascorbic acid, enhancing the alloy system's superior antioxidant properties. This reduces the oxidation of metals such as V and Ti, improves the cycle stability of the hydrogen storage alloy, and enhances its activity. Furthermore, the carbon dots introduce defects and active sites at the metal / carbon interface between the carbon nanotubes and the alloy, thereby strengthening the catalytic performance of the carbon nanotubes in the hydrogen adsorption and desorption processes. Moreover, through the loading of carbon nanotubes and metallization treatment, uniform dispersion of the carbon dots within the hydrogen storage alloy can be achieved simultaneously.

[0038] N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine sulfate in carbon dopants achieves S and N doping. N and S doping can effectively improve carrier mobility, increase electron transfer efficiency, and improve reducing properties. Neodymium doping in carbon dots can act as an electron donor and enhance the activity of functional groups on the carbon dot surface, thereby improving the oxidation resistance of the carbon dots. After the formation of neodymium oxide in the alloy system, the hydrogen bonding ability of the alloy can be optimized, and the hydrogen absorption and desorption kinetics can be improved.

[0039] 3. The function of La: During the preparation process, its cross-linking effect promotes the loading of carbon dots on carbon nanotubes. The rare earth oxides formed under high-temperature hydrothermal reaction can reduce the stability of hydrides in the hydrogen storage alloy system, increase the hydrogen absorption and desorption rate, and improve the hydrogen absorption and desorption kinetics. La has a low free energy and can combine with hydrogen at room temperature, which can reduce the oxide layer on the alloy surface. It plays the role of "window" and "channel" in the hydrogen absorption process, thereby improving the activation performance of the hydrogen storage alloy.

[0056] I. Performance Characterization 1. Reference Figure 1 The image shows the infrared absorption spectrum of the modified carbon nanotubes prepared in Example 1, illustrating the successful loading of carbon dots onto the pretreated carbon nanotubes; (Refer to...) Figure 1 The image shows the XRD pattern of the metallized modified carbon nanotubes prepared in Example 1, which demonstrates that an Fe-Co alloy layer was successfully deposited on the surface of the modified carbon nanotubes.

[0057] 2. Reduction Test The modified carbon nanotubes prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 6 were added to ethanol and ultrasonically dispersed to obtain modified carbon nanotube dispersions of different concentrations (0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1 mg / mL). The modified carbon nanotube dispersions of Example 1 and Comparative Example 6 were designated CNTs 1# and CNTs 6#, respectively. The antioxidant properties of the dispersions were tested using a total antioxidant capacity assay kit (DPPH method) (Ise-Ku (Jiangsu Lianyungang) Biotechnology Co., Ltd.). Test principle: DPPH free radicals have a single electron, and their ethanol solution is purple. They have maximum absorption at 515 nm. When an antioxidant is added, a decolorization reaction occurs, and the absorbance at 515 nm decreases. Within a certain range, the change in absorbance is directly proportional to the antioxidant capacity. The change in absorbance at 515 nm can characterize the reducing power; the greater the decrease in absorbance, the stronger the reducing power.

[0058] Test results are as follows Figure 3 As shown, the modified carbon nanotubes prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 6 both exhibited certain reduction performance, with Example 1 showing better performance than Comparative Example 6, indicating that neodymium doping in carbon dots can improve their reduction performance.

[0059] II. Performance Testing 1. Hydrogen storage density and hydrogen absorption / desorption performance The hydrogen storage performance was measured using an H-Sorb 2600PCT hydrogen storage tester. Activation was completed by vacuuming at 40℃ for 2 hours, followed by testing of hydrogen absorption and desorption performance: 2 grams of hydrogen storage alloy were placed in the reactor of the PCT test device, and hydrogen was absorbed for the first time at 25℃ and 4 MPa hydrogen pressure; then, hydrogen was desorbed for the first time at 25℃ and 0.1 MPa hydrogen pressure.

[0060] 2. Cyclic stability 100 complete hydrogen absorption / desorption cycles were performed at 25℃ (desorption pressure 0.1 MPa, absorption pressure 4 MPa), the hydrogen storage density was measured, and then the capacity retention rate was calculated. The capacity retention rate = (maximum hydrogen absorption after the 100th cycle / initial maximum hydrogen absorption) × 100%.

[0061] Test results: Figure 4 The first hydrogen absorption curve shows that Example 1 was able to absorb more than 3.7% of hydrogen in 180 seconds.

[0062] The test data for maximum hydrogen absorption, effective hydrogen release, and cycle stability are shown in Table 1 below. Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown: Table 1 Maximum hydrogen absorption (wt%) Effective hydrogen release Capacity retention rate (%) Example 1 3.74 2.81% 99.0 Example 2 3.72 2.78 98.6 Example 3 3.69 2.75 98.4 Comparative Example 1 3.09 1.96 77.2 Comparative Example 2 3.31 2.28 79.0 Comparative Example 3 3.49 2.54 91.6 Comparative Example 4 3.44 2.50 84.8 Comparative Example 5 3.68 2.61 98.3 Comparative Example 6 3.70 2.64 98.5 Comparative Example 7 3.67 2.70 93.2 Comparative Example 8 3.59 2.67 97.9 The test results show that: The vanadium-based solid hydrogen storage materials prepared in Examples 1-3 have high maximum hydrogen absorption and effective hydrogen release, and high capacity retention, indicating that they also have excellent cycle stability.

[0063] In Comparative Example 1, without the addition of metallized modified carbon nanotubes, all properties decreased significantly; Comparative Example 2 added pretreated carbon nanotubes, which were not loaded with carbon dots and were not metallized, resulting in a significant decrease in their hydrogen absorption and desorption performance and cycle stability. In Comparative Example 3, the modified carbon nanotubes were not metallized, which prevented them from being uniformly dispersed in the alloy system, resulting in a significant decrease in their overall performance. The metallized modified carbon nanotubes in Comparative Example 4 were not loaded with reducing carbon dots, which significantly reduced their cycle stability and also reduced their effective hydrogen release. This is attributed to the fact that carbon dots can enhance the catalytic performance of carbon nanotubes in the hydrogen absorption and desorption process. The metallized carbon nanotubes in Comparative Example 5 were not doped with rare earth lanthanum, which led to a decrease in their hydrogen absorption and desorption performance. In Comparative Example 6, the carbon dots were not doped with Nd, which reduced their reducibility and led to a certain decrease in the cycle stability of the hydrogen storage material. In Comparative Example 7, the coating did not contain Co, and the cycle stability of the hydrogen storage material was somewhat reduced. In Comparative Example 8, the coating did not contain Fe, and the hydrogen absorption and desorption performance of the hydrogen storage material was somewhat reduced.
