Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sodium-ion battery technology, and in particular to a method for preparing polymer nanosheets and their application. Technical Background

[0002] Organic electrodes can be directly obtained from many natural substances, making them less expensive and more environmentally friendly than inorganic electrode materials. However, lower molecular weight organic small molecule electrode materials are easily dissolved in electrolytes, resulting in poor cycle stability, which greatly affects their practical application in sodium-ion batteries. Therefore, improving the performance and stability of organic electrodes in sodium-ion batteries remains a challenge.

[0003] Constructing conjugated structures and increasing the degree of polymerization of organic electrode materials can effectively suppress the dissolution of active components. Furthermore, the formation of π-conjugated structures between organic electrode materials can significantly improve the low intrinsic conductivity of the material, promoting charge transfer and sodium ion diffusion. N and O atoms in organic electrode materials form intermolecular hydrogen bonds, creating a stable electrode structure that contributes to long cycle life. However, the tight stacking structure of the polymer itself prevents the active groups from being adequately exposed, resulting in low utilization of active sites and limiting capacity in practical processes. Therefore, how to expose more redox active sites in the prepared conjugated polymers to achieve high utilization efficiency and obtain high-capacity, long-life sodium ion storage performance is a bottleneck problem that urgently needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing polymer nanosheets to expose more redox active sites in conjugated polymers, thereby achieving high utilization efficiency and obtaining high-capacity, long-lifetime sodium ion storage performance. This polymer preparation method is simple, exhibits excellent intrinsic physicochemical and electrochemical properties, and shows promising application prospects.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A method for preparing polymer nanosheets, characterized by comprising the following steps: 2,6-Diaminoanthraquinone and terephthalaldehyde were dispersed and dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), and then subjected to a solvothermal Schiff base reaction to obtain the crude product.

[0006] Preferably, the 2,6-diaminoanthraquinone is dissolved in DMF at a concentration of 50-100 mg / mL; the terephthalaldehyde is dissolved in DMF at a concentration of 60-100 mg / mL, and then the terephthalaldehyde DMF solution is slowly added to the 2,6-diaminoanthraquinone DMF solution under stirring. In the total dosage, the molar ratio of amino small molecules to aldehyde small molecules is 1:1-1.2.

[0007] Preferably, solvent reflux is required in the solvothermal Schiff base reaction.

[0009] Preferably, the crude product is washed 2-6 times sequentially with hot DMF, ethanol, and dioxane to remove small molecules with low degree of polymerization, until the washing solution becomes clear and has no obvious color; then the reaction product is dried.

[0010] Preferably, centrifugation is used to remove the liquid first, followed by drying, with a centrifugation speed of 1000-3000 r / min.

[0011] The polymers prepared by any of the methods described above in this invention are blocky structures formed by layered stacking through hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces. Further: The dried reaction product, i.e. the polymer mentioned above, was dispersed in a methanesulfonic acid solution at a concentration of 0.5-2 mg / ml to obtain a suspension. The suspension was broken down and ultrasonically dispersed in an ice-water bath; then deionized water (DI) was added for multiple washings and centrifugation until the pH was neutral to remove residual methanesulfonic acid; finally, layered conjugated polymer nanosheets were obtained.

[0012] The present invention also provides the application of the nanosheets described above in sodium-ion batteries, which enables the low-cost preparation of high-capacity, long-life, high-performance sodium-ion batteries. Attached Figure Description
