Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of MOF composite materials technology, specifically to a MOFs / GO / CC composite material, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the fabrication of carbon cloth-based flexible electrodes often requires strong oxidants. In contrast, introducing graphene into carbon cloth is a more effective strategy for improving capacitance performance. However, current methods for preparing graphene also require hazardous reagents such as concentrated sulfuric acid and potassium permanganate, posing significant challenges for large-scale production. Furthermore, the incompatibility between pseudocapacitive materials and carbon cloth in carbon cloth-based composites leads to poor performance in the final composite material.
[0003] Two-dimensional conjugated metal-organic frameworks (2D c-MOFs), as an emerging class of conductive metal-organic framework materials, have attracted much attention due to their efficient in-plane conjugation and strong interlayer coupling characteristics, showing broad application prospects. Although the conductivity of 2D conductive MOFs has been improved compared with traditional MOF materials, its conductivity is still at a relatively low level compared with traditional metallic conductors and some high-performance conductive materials.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to use green and safe methods to electrochemically modify carbon cloth and use it as a substrate to composite with highly electrochemically active two-dimensional conjugated MOFs materials to prepare a MOFs / graphene / carbon cloth composite material with excellent electrochemical performance. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a MOFs / GO / CC composite material, its preparation method, and its applications. This invention utilizes an electrochemical method to prepare GO in situ at room temperature and pressure, completely avoiding the traditional Hummers method (which uses strong oxidants and strong acids such as potassium permanganate and concentrated sulfuric acid) for GO preparation. This method is an environmentally friendly synthesis strategy. This invention directly grows active materials on electrochemically exfoliated carbon cloth, forming an integrated structure of "current collector-conductive layer (GO)-active material (MOF)". The components are connected by chemical bonds (coordination bonds, etc.), resulting in strong bonding and smooth electron transport paths, effectively preventing the shedding of active material during cycling and solving the inherent defects of carbon cloth electrodes. This invention specifically compensates for the shortcomings of carbon cloth as an electrode material, namely "low energy storage performance and low surface activity". By generating GO and growing MOFs in situ, its specific surface area and electrochemical active sites are greatly increased, transforming it from an ordinary current collector into a high-performance electrode.

[0012] Preferably, in step (1), the electrochemical stripping operation includes: connecting the washed carbon cloth to an electrochemical workstation as the working electrode, Ag / AgCl as the reference electrode, and a platinum sheet electrode as the counter electrode; immersing the three electrodes in the electrolyte; applying a constant voltage of +1.5~+2.5 V between the washed carbon cloth and the platinum sheet electrode; and performing electrochemical stripping for 10~12 min.
[0013] Furthermore, the electrolyte is a 0.65~0.75 mol / L Na2SO4 aqueous solution.
[0014] Preferably, in step (2): the solid-liquid ratio of the GO / CC composite material to the mixed solution of 1g:150mL~160mL is 1g:150mL~160mL; the mixed solution of TCPP (1g:150mL~160mL) of 1g:150mL~160mL is prepared by mixing the mixed solution of 1g:150mL~160mL of 1g:150mL~160mL of 160mL;
[0015] The mixture of methyl-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin is prepared by the following steps: dissolving 8-10 mg of methyl-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin and 15-20 mg of polyvinylpyrrolidone in 10-12 mL of mixed solvent and stirring until homogeneous.
[0016] The Co(NO3)2•6H2O solution is prepared by the following steps: dissolving 0.0180~0.0185g of Co(NO3)2•6H2O in 4~6mL of mixed solvent and sonicating for 5~10min;
[0017] The above-mentioned mixed solvents were all prepared by mixing N,N-dimethylformamide and ethanol in a volume ratio of 3:1 to 3:1.3.
[0018] Preferably, in step (2), the one-step hydrothermal method includes: using a mixture of methyl-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin as solution A and Co(NO3)2•6H2O solution as solution B; placing the GO / CC composite material in solution B and sonicating it for 20-30 min; then pouring the GO / CC composite material and solution B together into solution A and stirring for 10-15 min; transferring the mixture of solution A and solution B and the GO / CC composite material together into a high-pressure reactor and reacting it at 110-140℃ for 10-12 h.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are reflected in:
[0022] This invention provides a method for preparing graphene-modified carbon cloth electrodes by mild electrochemical exfoliation of carbon. The method uses carbon cloth as the working electrode and graphene source, and sulfate as the electrolyte. Graphene oxide material is prepared by electrochemically exfoliating carbon. During the exfoliation process, the edges and basal surfaces of the carbon cloth are oxidized, introducing oxygen-containing functional groups such as -COOH, -OH, and C=O. These functional groups are metal ions (M... + It provides specific anchoring points, and metal ions can be pre-adsorbed on the graphene surface through coordination, providing "seeds" for the heterogeneous nucleation of MOFs; and the presence of the graphene layer on the carbon cloth surface significantly increases the surface area of the carbon cloth and improves the hydrophilicity and electrochemical activity of the carbon cloth.
[0023] This invention utilizes a hydrothermal method to in-situ grow Co-TCPP on the surface of a graphene-modified carbon cloth electrode using neu-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin as an organic ligand, constructing a GO / MOF composite material. The high conductivity of graphene compensates for the poor conductivity of most MOF materials, while the porosity and high activity of MOFs enrich the functionality of graphene. Graphene oxide, as an intermediate layer, significantly optimizes the electronic conduction pathway and mass transport channels of Co-TCPP, while also generating a synergistic effect with Co-TCPP.
[0024] The MOFs / GO / CC composite material synthesized in this invention using an electrochemical exfoliation-hydrothermal method exhibits a strength of 2705 mF / cm². 2 The composite material has high specific capacitance and long cycle life, and the manufacturing process is green and environmentally friendly. It makes up for the shortcomings of carbon cloth as an electrode material of supercapacitors, such as poor energy storage performance and low surface activity. This opens up a new route for the application of pseudocapacitive supercapacitors in the field of energy storage. Attached Figure Description

[0086] Experimental data characterization and performance testing
[0087] like Figures 1-7 As shown in Table 1, the energy storage performance of the composite materials prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were tested respectively.
[0088] The energy storage performance testing process specifically involved using a standard three-electrode system. The composite materials prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were used as the working electrode, the Hg / HgO electrode as the reference electrode, and a platinum sheet as the counter electrode. A 1 mol / L KOH aqueous solution was used as the electrolyte for capacitance performance testing. All tests were conducted on a CHI760F electrochemical workstation.

[0089] Table 1. Specific capacitance of the composite materials prepared in the examples and comparative examples at different current densities.
[0090]
[0091] Figure 1 The three-electrode system constructed from the Co-TCPP / GO / CC-110 composite material prepared in Example 1 is shown to operate at 1 mA / cm². 2 The specific capacitance at current density is 824 mF / cm 2 At 10mA / cm 2 The rate performance at current density is 69.5%; Figure 2 The three-electrode system constructed from the Co-TCPP / GO / CC-120 composite material prepared in Example 2 is shown to operate at 1 mA / cm². 2 The specific capacitance at current density is 2625 mF / cm 2 At 10mA / cm 2 The rate performance at current density is 85.8%; Figure 3 The three-electrode system constructed from the Co-TCPP / GO / CC-130 composite material prepared in Example 3 is shown to operate at 1 mA / cm². 2 The specific capacitance at current density is 2705 mF / cm 2 At 10mA / cm 2 The rate performance at current density is 86%; Figure 4 The three-electrode system constructed from the Co-TCPP / GO / CC-140 composite material prepared in Example 4 is shown to operate at 1 mA / cm². 2 The specific capacitance at the current density is 549.8 mF / cm. 2 At 10mA / cm 2 The rate performance at current density is 60.4%.
[0092] Depend on Figures 1-4As shown in Table 1, by comparing the specific capacitance values of the Co-TCPP / GO / CC materials prepared in Examples 1-4, it was found that the Co-TCPP / GO / CC material prepared in Example 3 had the highest specific capacitance value. Furthermore, the difference in the preparation process between Examples 1-4 lies in the reaction temperature. This indicates that when preparing the Co-TCPP / GO / CC material with optimal performance, if the reaction temperature is too low, the bonding between Co-TCPP and GO / CC (carbon cloth) may rely on van der Waals forces or weak chemical interactions. At low temperatures, it is difficult to form strong chemical bonds, resulting in high resistance to interfacial charge transport and easy material detachment during the reaction. If the reaction temperature is too high, it may lead to partial thermal decomposition of the organic ligands (TCPP) in Co-TCPP or cause excessive aggregation of metal clusters, resulting in a reduction in active sites. In addition, high temperatures may cause excessive growth of MOF crystals, leading to agglomeration, reducing specific surface area and accessibility of active sites, thus affecting the specific capacitance value of the material.
[0093] Figure 5 The three-electrode system constructed from the Co-TCPP@GO / CC composite material prepared in Comparative Example 1 is shown to operate at 1 mA / cm². 2 The specific capacitance at the current density is 1203.1 mF / cm. 2 At 10mA / cm 2 The rate performance at current density is 52%; Figure 6 The three-electrode system constructed from the Co-TCPP / CC composite material prepared in Comparative Example 2 is shown to operate at 1 mA / cm. 2 The specific capacitance at the current density is 225.2 mF / cm. 2 At 10mA / cm 2 The rate performance at current density is 83.7%; Figure 7 The three-electrode system constructed from the Co-BTB / GO / CC composite material prepared in Comparative Example 3 shows that at 1 mA / cm 2 The specific capacitance at the current density is 118.3 mF / cm. 2 At 10mA / cm 2 The rate performance at current density is 81.2%.
[0094] Depend on Figure 5 As shown in Table 1, the Co-TCPP@GO / CC composite material prepared in Comparative Example 1 has good specific capacitance but poor rate performance at current densities of 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 mA / cm². 2 The specific capacitances at those times were 1203.1, 1086.2, 931.6, 816, 711.1, and 626 mF / cm, respectively. 2 Its specific capacitance starts from a low current density of 1 mA / cm² 2 Increase 10 times to 10 mA / cm 2At that time, the capacitance retention rate was 52%. Although it has a relatively high specific capacitance and capacitance retention rate, it is still at a lower level compared to the composite material prepared in Example 3. This indicates that compared to a simple mixture of two materials, the composite material formed by the interaction of Co-TCPP and GO / CC can produce a stronger synergistic effect, thereby significantly optimizing the energy storage performance of the material.
[0095] Depend on Figure 6 As shown in Table 1, the Co-TCPP / CC composite material prepared in Comparative Example 2 exhibits good rate capability but poor specific capacitance at current densities of 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 mA / cm². 2 The specific capacitances at the following times were 225.2, 223.6, 211.8, 205.9, 196.4 and 188.6 mF / cm, respectively. 2 Its specific capacitance starts from a low current density of 1 mA / cm² 2 Increase 10 times to 10 mA / cm 2 At that time, the capacitance retention rate was 83.7%. This indicates that GO (graphene oxide), as an intermediate layer, greatly optimized the electronic conduction path and mass transport channel of Co-TCPP, while also producing a synergistic effect with Co-TCPP. In contrast, the surface of the bare CC in Comparative Example 2 is mainly inert carbon material with fewer chemical functional groups. The growth of MOF on it may rely more on physical adsorption, resulting in weak binding force, uneven distribution, and easy detachment from the substrate, leading to the lower specific capacity of Comparative Example 2.
[0096] Depend on Figure 7 As shown in Table 1, the Co-BTB / GO / CC composite material prepared in Comparative Example 3 exhibits good rate capability but poor specific capacitance at current densities of 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 mA / cm². 2 The specific capacitances at the following times were 118.3, 111.5, 107.7, 106.2, 100, and 96 mF / cm, respectively. 2 Its specific capacitance starts from a low current density of 1 mA / cm² 2 Increase 10 times to 10 mA / cm 2 At that time, the capacitance retention was 81.2%. This indicates that the large conjugated structure of TCPP facilitates efficient electron transport with the GO substrate and optimizes the electronic structure of the active center. Although the BTB ligand used in Comparative Example 3 also has a benzene ring, its degree of conjugation and planarity are far inferior to the porphyrin macrocycle. Its π-π interaction with GO may be weaker, resulting in a lower specific capacity.
[0097] Figure 8The graph shows a comparison of the cyclic voltammetry (CV) curves of the materials prepared in Example 3 of this invention, and Comparative Examples 4 and 5, at a scan rate of 5 mV / s. The graph shows that the curve for the carbon cloth is almost a flat straight line, indicating that the carbon cloth itself does not exhibit significant redox activity. The GO / CC curve shows a weak redox peak, indicating that it has some electrochemical activity, but it is very weak. In contrast, the CV curve of the composite material has the largest and sharpest redox peak, indicating that the introduction of two-dimensional conjugated MOFs greatly enhances the electrochemical activity of the material, suggesting that the oxidation reaction of this material is reversible and rapid.
[0098] Figure 9 These are scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of the materials prepared in Example 3, Comparative Examples 4 and 5 of this invention. Figure 9 As shown, Figure 9 (a) is a scanning electron microscope image of the untreated carbon cloth CC in Comparative Example 5. The carbon fiber has a complete and smooth surface with a small number of structure-related grooves, which is typical of carbon fiber structure. Figure 9 (b) is a scanning electron microscope image of the carbon cloth GO / CC composite material after electrochemical exfoliation in Comparative Example 4. The original small grooves on the carbon fiber surface become less distinct. This is because the exfoliation of carbon fibers initially occurs at the gaps between the graphite layers. After surface exfoliation, the part above the groove will be clearly exfoliated. The exfoliation layer can increase the surface area of the carbon cloth to a certain extent, but the increased surface area is not enough to bring about a major change in the performance of the carbon cloth. Figure 9 (c) Figure 9 (d) is a scanning electron microscope image of the Co-TCPP / GO / CC-130 composite material prepared in Example 3. The image shows that these well-aligned Co-TCPP nanosheets grow uniformly on the GO / CC surface, forming a stable network structure with a large number of open spaces. This unique structure greatly promotes rapid and efficient ion charge transfer and electron transport by providing a shorter mass transfer distance.
