Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of battery materials, specifically relating to a titanium dioxide / graphene composite material, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Lead-acid batteries, as one of the oldest electrochemical energy storage systems, remain a mainstream choice in automotive starting power supplies, electric light vehicle power sources, industrial energy storage, and communication backup power supplies due to their significant cost advantages, high technical reliability, complete process technology, and excellent instantaneous high-current discharge capability. However, during long-term cycling, especially under partial state of charge or overcharge conditions, severe hydrogen evolution side reactions continuously occur at the negative electrode. Lead sulfate has a lower hydrogen overpotential than metallic lead, providing a more favorable environment for hydrogen evolution. Long-term presence of lead sulfate leads to gradual recrystallization and coarsening, forming irreversible sulfation, further exacerbating hydrogen evolution and capacity loss. Hydrogen evolution not only directly causes energy loss and reduces charging efficiency but also triggers electrolyte dehydration and density imbalance. Over time, the evolved hydrogen damages the structure of the negative electrode active material, accelerating its softening and shedding, thus accelerating capacity decay and battery failure, easily leading to decreased charging efficiency and safety risks. Therefore, effectively suppressing hydrogen evolution is a core technology for improving the overall performance of lead-acid batteries.

[0003] To address this challenge, the industry commonly employs the method of adding functional materials to the negative electrode lead paste, primarily focusing on carbon materials and metal oxides. Carbon materials (such as carbon black, graphene, and carbon nanotubes) aim to construct a highly conductive network, improving the poor conductivity of the negative electrode active material (lead / lead sulfate), thereby reducing polarization and enhancing power performance and charge acceptance. However, many high specific surface area carbon materials, due to their surface characteristics, may actually provide active sites for hydrogen ion reduction, posing a potential risk of catalyzing hydrogen evolution. On the other hand, metal oxides (such as ZnO and TiO2) have been proven to suppress hydrogen evolution by altering electrode surface properties and increasing hydrogen evolution overpotential. However, these materials typically have poor conductivity, and adding large quantities can significantly increase electrode internal resistance, impairing the battery's high-rate discharge performance, creating a performance contradiction between "suppressing hydrogen evolution" and "maintaining conductivity."

[0004] In recent years, researchers have attempted to combine these two technologies to achieve synergy. For example, Chinese patent application (publication number CN113764627A) discloses a high-performance lead-carbon battery negative electrode paste formulation and its preparation method, which uses graphene and carbon nanotubes. However, its hydrogen suppression mechanism still mainly relies on traditional barium sulfate, with limited effectiveness. Chinese patent application (publication number CN117199344A) discloses a negative electrode paste and its preparation method that inhibits hydrogen evolution and extends battery cycle life. It combines modified graphene and zinc oxide, which provides some performance improvement. However, its physical mixing method makes it difficult to achieve optimal synergy of functional components at the nanoscale. This often leads to oxide agglomeration blocking conductive pathways, or the carbon material failing to effectively modify the oxide surface. Consequently, the improvement in conductivity and the inhibition of hydrogen evolution are not maximized simultaneously, and the synergistic effect does not meet expectations.

[0005] In summary, current technologies have not fundamentally solved the performance conflict between carbon materials and metal oxides. Developing a novel composite material additive that can achieve a precise and robust combination of a highly conductive network and highly dispersed hydrogen-suppressing active sites in the microstructure, thereby effectively suppressing hydrogen evolution side reactions while ensuring extremely low electrode internal resistance, has become an urgent need to promote the upgrading of lead-acid battery technology and has significant research value and application prospects. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a titanium dioxide / graphene composite material, its preparation method, and its applications. The complete three-dimensional graphene network in the composite material significantly enhances the electronic conductivity of the negative electrode active material, substantially reduces charge transfer impedance, and improves the battery's power characteristics and charge acceptance. The titanium dioxide nanounits uniformly anchored on the graphene surface effectively increase the overpotential for hydrogen evolution through interfacial electronic effects and surface property regulation, kinetically suppressing hydrogen evolution side reactions during charging. The synergistic effect of these two materials resolves the contradictions caused by the performance deficiencies of individual materials, significantly improving hydrogen evolution suppression and cycle stability while reducing battery internal resistance. This invention effectively solves the common technical problems of insufficient functional synergy between carbon materials and metal oxides in existing lead-acid battery negative electrode additives, making it difficult to simultaneously achieve high conductivity and strong hydrogen evolution suppression.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0008] A first aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a titanium dioxide / graphene composite material, comprising the following steps:

[0009] S1. Add titanium alkoxide to anhydrous ethanol and stir to form a uniform and transparent titanium alkoxide solution;

[0010] S2. Graphene is ultrasonically dispersed in pure water to form a uniform graphene dispersion.

[0011] S3. The titanium alkoxide solution described in step S1 is added dropwise to the graphene dispersion described in step S2 and stirred to obtain a mixture;

[0012] S4. Add glacial acetic acid dropwise to the mixture described in step S3, heat and stir to form a sol, age it, dry it and pulverize it to obtain composite precursor powder;

[0013] S5. Anneal the composite precursor powder obtained in step S4 under a nitrogen atmosphere and cool it to room temperature to obtain a titanium dioxide / graphene composite material.

[0014] The titanium dioxide / graphene composite material of this invention constructs a strongly coupled nanocomposite structure of titanium dioxide and graphene, simultaneously optimizing conductivity and interfacial properties. Through sol-gel and low-temperature heat treatment, uniformly anchored titanium dioxide nanounits are formed in situ on the graphene surface, with stable Ti-OC chemical bonds between them. This structure maximizes the preservation of the intrinsic high conductivity network integrity of graphene while achieving high dispersion and maximizing the active interface with low titanium dioxide loading. The three-dimensional continuous conductive pathway constructed by graphene significantly reduces the ohmic impedance and charge transfer resistance of the electrodes, improving the electron transport efficiency and reaction kinetics of the active material.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the stirring time in step S1 is 10~60 min, the temperature is 25~65℃, and the rotation speed is 400~800 rpm.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the ultrasonic power of ultrasonic dispersion in step S2 is 300~400W and the ultrasonic time is 10~60min.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the stirring conditions in step S3 are: stirring time of 1~5h, stirring temperature of 25~100℃, and stirring speed of 400~800rpm.

[0018] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the heating and stirring conditions in step S4 are: temperature of 25~65℃, time of 1~5h, and rotation speed of 400~800rpm.

[0019] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the aging time is 12-48 hours.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the drying temperature is 50~80℃.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the power of the pulverizer is 1000~1200W and the rotation speed is 28000~30000r / min.

[0022] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the annealing conditions in step S5 are: heating rate of 3~5℃ / min, annealing temperature of 200~600℃, and annealing time of 1~5h.

[0023] The annealing treatment of this invention can enhance the bonding force between TiO2 nanoparticles and graphene sheets, prevent particle shedding during cycling, and maintain electrode integrity. Unannealed materials are prone to pulverization or peeling under repeated volume changes, resulting in rapid capacity decay. At the same time, unannealed TiO2 is usually amorphous or has poor crystallinity. During charge and discharge, low crystallinity may lead to structural collapse or irreversible phase transition, thereby reducing material performance.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the mass ratio of the titanium alkoxide to the anhydrous ethanol is 1:(2-20).

[0025] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the mass ratio of the titanium alkoxide to the graphene is 1:(2-20).

[0026] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the mass ratio of the titanium alkoxide to the glacial acetic acid is 1:(1-5).

[0027] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the mass ratio of the graphene to the pure water is 1:(10-200).

[0028] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the titanium alkoxide is selected from one or more of tetraisopropyl titanate, tetraethyl titanate, and tetrabutyl titanate.

[0029] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the method for preparing the modified three-dimensional porous graphene is as follows: using graphene oxide dispersion and polyvinyl alcohol as raw materials, and preparing three-dimensional porous graphene with nitric acid solution, the three-dimensional porous graphene and cerium chloride heptahydrate are mixed and subjected to hydrothermal reaction to obtain modified three-dimensional porous graphene.

[0030] The modified three-dimensional porous graphene of this invention has a high specific surface area and porous structure, providing ample channels for ion transport and expanding the contact area of ​​active materials. The three-dimensional interconnected structure can construct continuous conductive pathways in lead paste, significantly reducing electron transport resistance. The modification of cerium can adjust the electronic structure and further improve conductivity. The excellent conductive network and ion channels make the current distribution more uniform, promote the full participation of particles inside the electrode in the reaction, improve the utilization rate of active materials, and thus enhance the overall performance of the material.

[0031] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the preparation steps of the three-dimensional porous graphene are as follows: by weight, 400-500 parts of 1 mg / mL graphene oxide dispersion and 40-80 parts of 1 mg / mL polyvinyl alcohol aqueous solution are mixed evenly, freeze-dried to obtain mixed powder, 1-2 parts of the mixed powder are added to 60-80 parts of 40% nitric acid solution and stirred and refluxed for 10-12 hours, centrifuged, washed with deionized water, and vacuum dried to obtain three-dimensional porous graphene.

[0032] The nitric acid solution of the present invention has a dual function. On the one hand, nitric acid can act as a decomposing agent for polyvinyl alcohol, thereby achieving the decomposition and pore-forming of polyvinyl alcohol. On the other hand, nitric acid can act as an activator for graphene, introducing more oxygen-containing groups on the surface of three-dimensional porous graphene through long-term stirring and reflux, which can provide additional transport channels and thus improve the electrochemical performance of the material.

[0033] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the hydrothermal reaction steps are as follows: by weight, 1-2 parts of the three-dimensional porous graphene are added to 500-600 parts of deionized water and ultrasonically dispersed for 2-4 hours, then 0.16-0.24 parts of cerium chloride heptahydrate are added and magnetically stirred for 3-5 hours, hydrothermally treated at 120-130°C for 10-12 hours, filtered, washed with deionized water, and freeze-dried to obtain modified three-dimensional porous graphene.

[0034] This invention first adds polyvinyl alcohol to a graphene oxide dispersion, using polyvinyl alcohol as a structure directing agent and nitric acid solution to achieve cross-linking and pore formation, thereby obtaining three-dimensional porous graphene. Subsequently, the three-dimensional porous graphene is mixed with cerium chloride heptahydrate, and cerium is fixed in situ on the surface and inner wall of the pores of the three-dimensional porous graphene by hydrothermal method. In addition, some cerium forms CeO2 nanoparticles during the hydrothermal process and is firmly anchored on the pore walls, thereby obtaining modified three-dimensional porous graphene.

[0035] In this invention, the Ce–O groups in the modified three-dimensional porous graphene can coordinate with titanium ions in titanium alkoxide to form Ti-O-Ce bonds. At the same time, some CeO2 and TiO2 can form heterojunctions to enhance interfacial charge transfer. The bonding between titanium dioxide and graphene is strengthened by cerium, which significantly improves the performance of the composite material.

[0036] A second aspect of the present invention provides a titanium dioxide / graphene composite material prepared by the method described in the first aspect.

[0037] A third aspect of the present invention provides an application of a titanium dioxide / graphene composite material prepared by the method described in the first aspect in a negative electrode lead paste.

[0038] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0039] (1) The titanium dioxide / graphene composite material of the present invention significantly suppresses the hydrogen evolution side reaction of the negative electrode through interfacial electronic regulation. The interfacial electronic interaction between graphene and surface titanium dioxide nanounits effectively modulates the electronic state and adsorption performance of the composite material surface. This modulation increases the adsorption energy barrier of hydrogen atoms on the electrode surface, thereby significantly increasing the overpotential of the hydrogen evolution reaction.

[0040] (2) The titanium dioxide / graphene composite material of the present invention can enhance the stability of the electrode structure and has application feasibility; the mechanical flexibility of graphene buffers the volume strain in the cycle of active material, and the strong interfacial bonding ensures the durability of titanium dioxide function, which together delays capacity decay and prolongs cycle life; the design achieves significant performance improvement under low titanium dioxide load, balancing effect and cost; its preparation process is compatible with the traditional lead paste process, the material is easy to disperse, and has good industrialization prospects.
