Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of chemical power source technology, specifically relating to a method for designing high-voltage cathode materials by molecular energy orbital regulation, covalent organic framework materials and battery cathodes and their preparation methods, and aqueous zinc-organic batteries. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing demand for large-scale energy storage, aqueous zinc-organic batteries have become a highly promising candidate for energy storage technology due to the advantages of zinc anodes, such as high cost-effectiveness, low redox potential, and high theoretical capacity, as well as the characteristics of organic cathode materials, such as strong sustainability and flexible structural and functional design.

[0003] To develop high-performance aqueous zinc-organic batteries, researchers are dedicated to optimizing organic cathode materials. Aromatic organic small molecules, rich in high-density redox active functional groups, can provide high capacity, but they are easily soluble in aqueous electrolytes, resulting in short battery cycle life (usually less than 10,000 cycles). While polymerizing them into insoluble polymers can improve resistance to dissolution, the twisted molecular chains block active sites, leading to insufficient capacity utilization (usually below 300 mAh / g). Strategies that construct supramolecular or polymeric superstructures face significant design and manufacturing challenges.

[0004] Covalent organic framework materials, with their ordered nanoporous channels, periodically arranged redox active sites, π-conjugated donor-acceptor structure, and tunable function, have become ideal alternatives that balance the high activity of small molecules with the insolubility of polymers. They have been used to prepare aqueous zinc-organic battery cathodes with capacities of 200 mAh / g to 300 mAh / g and cycle lives of up to 20,000 cycles. However, the high HOMO / LUMO levels of the electroactive donor / acceptor units in existing covalent organic framework materials result in low redox potentials (below 0.8 V vs. Zn). 2+ / Zn), creating a tricky trade-off between capacity and voltage, which limits the improvement of energy density of aqueous zinc organic batteries (below 300 Wh / kg).

[0005] Theoretically, lowering the HOMO / LUMO energy level can increase the redox potential. However, it has not yet been realized to break the potential bottleneck without compromising the multi-redox capabilities of covalent organic framework materials by strategically pairing low HOMO / LUMO donor / acceptor units. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new molecular design method to solve the key problem of capacity-voltage imbalance in existing aqueous zinc organic battery electrode materials.

[0055] B20 involves placing the mixture in a high-temperature and pressure-resistant glass tube, rapidly freezing it in a liquid nitrogen bath, then evacuating it to an internal pressure of 0.5 mbar and sealing it with a flame.

[0056] B30: After heating the high-temperature and pressure-resistant glass tube from step B20 to room temperature, place it in an oven at 120 ℃~180 ℃ for 72 h to produce a reddish-brown solid.

[0065] The preparation method of the covalent organic framework material in this comparative example is generally similar to that in the examples, except that the core electron acceptor unit in the comparative example uses a triazine molecule with the highest LUMO value.

[0066] Specifically, the preparation method of the covalent organic framework material with a wide molecular energy level difference in this comparative example differs from that in the examples in the following ways:

[0067] In step B10:

[0068] (1) 16.5 mg of benzo[1,2-b:3,4-b'':5,6-b'']trithiophene-2,5,8-tricarboxaldehyde was used as an organic donor molecule, and 6.2 mg of 2,4,6-trimethyl-1,3,5-triazine was used as an organic acceptor molecule.

[0069] (2) Take 0.45 mL of mesitylene, 0.45 mL of 1,4-dioxane, 0.2 mL of trifluoroacetic acid (6 mol / L) and 0.025 mL of acetonitrile in sequence.

[0070] (3) Benzo[1,2-b:3,4-b'':5,6-b'']trithiophene-2,5,8-tricarboxaldehyde and 2,4,6-trimethyl-1,3,5-triazine were added to a 10 mL high-temperature and pressure-resistant glass tube, followed by the addition of mesitylene, 1,4-dioxane, trifluoroacetic acid, and acetonitrile to obtain a mixed solution. After ultrasonic reaction at 25°C for 10 min, the high-temperature and pressure-resistant glass tube was rapidly frozen in a liquid nitrogen bath, evacuated to an internal pressure of 0.5 mbar, and flame-sealed. The sealed glass tube was then removed, heated to room temperature, and placed in an oven at 180°C for 72 h, producing a yellow solid.

[0071] Steps B20-B40, the preparation method of the battery positive electrode, and the preparation method of the aqueous zinc-organic battery are largely similar to those in the examples and will not be repeated here.

[0072] The purpose of providing this comparative example of a covalent organic framework material with a wide molecular energy level difference, its corresponding battery cathode, and an aqueous zinc-organic battery is to compare the electrochemical performance of the aqueous zinc-organic batteries in the examples and the comparative example for subsequent test cases. The focus is on examining the differences in electrochemical performance between the trithiophene triazine-based covalent organic framework material with a high LUMO value as the cathode active material and the trithiophene tricyano-based covalent organic framework cathode material used in the examples. Through comparative experiments in subsequent test cases, the performance differences of organic cathodes under conditions of controlled molecular energy levels can be clearly defined, providing strong evidence for evaluating the superiority of the present invention.

[0073] <Test Example>

[0074] This test case examines the covalent organic framework materials, battery cathodes, or aqueous zinc-organic batteries used in the examples and / or comparative examples. The battery energy storage performance was tested using a CHI660E electrochemical workstation, while the battery cycle and rate performance were tested using a LAND CT2001A battery testing system. The voltage window was 0.2 V to 1.5 V.

[0075] Figure 2 This is a comparison diagram of molecular energy level evaluation in step A10 of an embodiment of the present invention.

[0076] like Figure 2As shown, based on density functional theory simulations, the HOMO and LUMO levels of the organic donor / acceptor units can be evaluated. The tricyano molecule has the lowest LUMO level (-3.82 eV), and this structure can impart the optimal reduction potential to the cathode material; therefore, the tricyano group was selected as the core electron acceptor unit. The trithiophene molecule has the lowest HOMO level (-6.04 eV), which can ensure the high oxidation potential of the cathode material; therefore, the trithiophene molecule was selected as the core electron donor unit. Meanwhile, the triazine molecule has the highest LUMO level (-1.75 eV), and the triazine molecule was selected as the electron acceptor unit in the comparative example.

[0077] Figure 3 These are the structural formulas of the covalent organic framework materials used in the embodiments and comparative examples of this invention, along with their corresponding infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra.

[0078] like Figure 3 As shown, in the examples, benzo[1,2-b:3,4-b'':5,6-b'']trithiophene-2,5,8-tricarboxaldehyde and 2,4,6-tricyano-1,3,5-trimethylbenzene were linked by olefin bonds after reaction to form a covalent organic framework material. In the comparative example, benzo[1,2-b:3,4-b'':5,6-b'']trithiophene-2,5,8-tricarboxaldehyde and 2,4,6-trimethyl-1,3,5-triazine were linked by olefin bonds after reaction to form the covalent organic framework material in the comparative experiment. Infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy both confirmed the successful synthesis of the covalent organic framework materials in the examples and comparative examples.
