Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrode materials technology, specifically to a porous electrode material, its preparation method, and a capacitor. Background Technology
[0002] As the global energy structure accelerates its transition to renewable energy, efficient energy storage technology has become a core support for achieving carbon neutrality. In electrochemical energy storage systems such as batteries and supercapacitors, electrode materials, as carriers of energy storage and conversion, directly determine the electrochemical characteristics of the devices. Currently, the theoretical capacity of commercially available graphite anodes is only 372 mAh / g, which is insufficient to meet the demands of high-energy-density energy storage; while silicon-based materials, although possessing an ultra-high theoretical capacity of approximately 4200 mAh / g, suffer from a sharp decline in cycle stability due to drastic volume expansion. This contradiction between capacity and stability has prompted researchers to turn their attention to novel composite electrode material systems.
[0003] Meanwhile, in the microstructure of electrode materials, porous structures similar to porous carbon mostly imply better electrochemical performance. Their intrinsic high specific surface area and multi-level conductive pathways formed by micropores significantly reduce ion diffusion resistance and accelerate charge transport speed. Furthermore, multi-level porous composite structures have better performance improvement effects, which is crucial for enhancing the energy storage performance of supercapacitors.

[0033] A capacitor, wherein the electrode material of the capacitor is a porous electrode material prepared according to a method for preparing porous electrode materials.
[0034] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are: In preparing porous electrode materials, this invention first involves coordinating tetra(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin with nickel and cobalt sources to prepare tetra(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin nickel and tetra(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin cobalt, respectively; then reacting terephthalaldehyde with tetra(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin nickel and tetra(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin cobalt to obtain a metal-complexed covalent organic framework; mixing the metal-complexed covalent organic framework with polyacrylonitrile and electrospinning to obtain a metal-supported porous polyacrylonitrile membrane; carbonizing and then phosphating the metal-supported porous polyacrylonitrile membrane to obtain a phosphated porous coated metal material; mixing the phosphated porous coated metal material with a binder and a conductive agent to form a conductive slurry, coating it on the substrate surface, flash-freezing, and then freeze-drying to obtain the porous electrode material.
[0035] First, tetra(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin is coordinated with nickel and cobalt sources to prepare tetra(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin nickel and tetra(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin cobalt, respectively. Nickel and cobalt ions enter the porphyrin ring by forming coordinate bonds with nitrogen atoms inside the porphyrin ring, resulting in tetra(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin nickel and tetra(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin cobalt containing nickel and cobalt ions. Then, terephthalaldehyde is reacted with tetra(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin nickel and tetra(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin cobalt to prepare a metal complex covalent organic framework. Terephthalaldehyde undergoes a Schiff base reaction with the amino groups on tetra(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin nickel and tetra(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin cobalt to form a covalent organic framework structure. Due to its ordered growth, the covalent organic framework structure has a fixed-size two-dimensional channel structure, and the metal ions are fixed by coordinate bonds and uniformly fixed within it as the covalent organic framework grows.
[0036] Secondly, a metal-supported porous polyacrylonitrile membrane was prepared by electrospinning a mixture of a metal-complexed covalent organic framework and polyacrylonitrile. Through electrospinning, the metal-complexed covalent organic framework and polyacrylonitrile were mixed to obtain an electrospun film. Due to the porosity characteristics of electrospinning, the resulting polyacrylonitrile membrane contained a large number of macropores with diameters ranging from 10 to 1000 nm, while the metal-complexed covalent organic framework was uniformly dispersed within the film. Subsequently, the fibrous structure of the polyacrylonitrile was pre-oxidized and fixed in an air atmosphere, followed by high-temperature carbonization under an inert argon atmosphere. During the carbonization process, the organic framework within the metal-complexed covalent organic framework retained the canonical pore structure of the covalent organic framework and coated the membrane. On the metal surface, a porous nitrogen-doped carbon-coated metal structure is formed. Within this structure, a cobalt-nickel composite metal is introduced. The nickel-cobalt composite structure has more redox sites, and the different oxidation potentials of the two metals broaden the operating voltage window. Furthermore, the lattice distortion caused by the bimetallic structure facilitates rapid ion insertion and extraction, resulting in a synergistic effect between the cobalt and nickel composite metals. This composite metal exhibits significantly stronger electrochemical performance than the single metal. Simultaneously, the polyacrylonitrile framework also forms a porous carbon fiber structure during carbonization, further coating the outer layer of the nitrogen-doped carbon-coated metal structure, forming a double-layer carbon-coated structure. The two carbon layers retain different structures due to inheritance. Its internal pore structure and the content of internal doped atoms are also different. The outer carbon layer forms a macroporous polyacrylonitrile fiber skeleton, while the inner carbon layer forms a microporous structure of a covalent organic framework. This results in micropores with a pore size of 2-5 nm and a regular pore structure. The different pore sizes create a hierarchical channel structure. This structure effectively improves charge transport efficiency, and the regular channels of the covalent organic framework further enhance the improvement effect, reducing ion transport resistance. This improves its specific capacity and energy density as an electrode material. Furthermore, the two carbon coating layers with different pore sizes effectively reduce the expansion and activity loss of the internal metal during repeated cycles. The rate performance and cycle life were improved. Then, the nickel and cobalt metal inside the porous coated metal material were phosphated using a gas-phase phosphating method. Since phosphorus has a lower electronegativity than oxygen and sulfur, the phosphated nickel and cobalt transition metals can accelerate electron transport and improve redox reactions, thereby improving conductivity. At the same time, since the radii of nickel and cobalt ions are similar, a NiCoP solid solution structure is formed during the carbonization and phosphating process. After phosphating, the phosphated crystal has two types of chemical bonds: covalent bonds and metallic bonds. The covalent bonds participate in redox reactions, while the metallic bonds can improve conductivity, thereby effectively improving electrochemical performance and resulting in higher specific capacity, rate performance and cycle life.
[0037] Finally, the phosphated porous coated metal material was mixed with binder and conductive agent to form a conductive slurry, which was then coated onto the substrate surface. After flash freezing, the slurry was freeze-dried to produce a porous electrode material. The directional flash freezing technology can effectively fix the prepared porous structure and double-layer carbon coating structure, avoiding performance loss caused by structural damage during the electrode material preparation process. Furthermore, since the freeze-drying was carried out at low temperature, the solvent was removed while the framework was fixed, leaving a richer porous framework structure. This further improved the hierarchical structure of the pores, provided a higher specific surface area, effectively increased the ion contact area, reduced ion transport resistance, and promoted charge transport efficiency, thereby improving the specific capacity.

Tetra(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin nickel and tetra(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin cobalt are dispersed in dimethyl sulfoxide, ultrasonically dispersed for 15 min, added to the polyacrylonitrile solution and mixed evenly. Ultrasonication is continued for 20 min, and then allowed to stand to remove bubbles to obtain a polyacrylonitrile spinning solution. The polyacrylonitrile spinning solution contains 14 wt% polyacrylonitrile, 1 wt% tetra(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin nickel, and 1 wt% tetra(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin cobalt.

Under a nitrogen atmosphere, the temperature is raised to 350°C at a heating rate of 2.5°C / min and held for 2 h. After natural cooling to room temperature, the material is ground through a 325-mesh sieve to obtain a phosphated porous coated metal material. The remaining steps are the same as in Example 2.
[0048] Comparative Example 6: The difference between the preparation method of the porous electrode material in Comparative Example 6 and Example 2 lies in step (3). Step (3) is modified as follows: the metal-loaded porous polyacrylonitrile film is heated to 245°C for 90 min at a heating rate of 1.8°C / min in an air atmosphere, and then transferred to an argon atmosphere and heated to 650°C for 110 min at a heating rate of 5°C / min to obtain a porous coated metal material.

The conductive slurry is coated on the substrate surface, placed on a copper plate pre-cooled by liquid nitrogen for flash freezing for 35 min, and then freeze-dried for 50 h to obtain a porous electrode material. The remaining steps are the same as in Example 2.
[0049] Comparative Example 7: The difference between the preparation method of the porous electrode material in Comparative Example 7 and Example 2 lies in step (4). Step (4) is modified as follows: Phosphated porous coated metal material, conductive agent, and binder are mixed evenly in a mass ratio of 7.5:1.5:1, N-methylpyrrolidone is added, and the mixture is ground in a mortar for 35 min to obtain a conductive slurry with a solid content of 27.5 wt%. The conductive slurry is coated on the substrate surface and vacuum dried at 70°C for 20 h to obtain the porous electrode material. The remaining steps are the same as in Example 2.
[0050] In all the following test examples, the loading of the phosphated porous metal-coated material on the porous electrode materials prepared in the various embodiments and comparative examples was 2.5 mg / cm³. 2 The loading of porous coated metal material on the porous electrode material prepared in Comparative Example 6 was 2.5 mg / cm³. 2 .
[0051] Test Example 1: Electrochemical performance testing: The specific capacity, specific capacity at different rate currents, and specific capacity retention after cycling of the prepared porous electrode material were tested to evaluate its electrochemical performance. The tests were conducted on a Chenhua CHI660E electrochemical workstation, using the prepared porous electrode material as the working electrode, a platinum sheet as the counter electrode, saturated calomel as the reference electrode, and a 3 mol / L potassium hydroxide solution as the electrolyte. The specific testing methods are as follows: Specific capacity and rate performance: The galvanostatic charge-discharge analysis method was used. The galvanostatic charge-discharge curves of the prepared porous electrode material were tested with a voltage window of 0–1 V and current densities of 1 A / g and 10 A / g. The results are expressed by the formula: C = I × ∆t ÷ m; Calculate the specific capacity, where C is the specific capacity in F / g, I is the current density, ∆t is the discharge time, and m is the mass of the phosphated porous coated metal material or porous coated metal material loaded on the porous electrode material; 5 samples are tested in parallel for each group, and the average value is recorded; Cyclic performance: Cyclic charge-discharge tests were conducted with a voltage window of 0~1V and a current density of 1A / g. One charge and one discharge constituted one cycle. After 10,000 cycles, the specific capacity was calculated according to the above formula and compared with the initial value to calculate the specific capacity retention rate. Five samples were tested in parallel in each group, and the average value was recorded.
[0052] The results are shown in Table 1.
[0053] A comparison of the experimental data of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-7 in Table 1 reveals that the porous electrode material prepared by the present invention has high specific capacity as well as good rate performance and cycle performance.
[0054] By comparing the data, the data from Comparative Examples 1 and 2 show that the simultaneous introduction of cobalt and nickel composite metals results in more redox sites in the nickel-cobalt composite structure. Furthermore, the different oxidation potentials of the two metals broaden the operating voltage window. The lattice distortion caused by the bimetallic structure facilitates the rapid insertion and extraction of ions, thus giving the cobalt-nickel composite metal structure a synergistic effect. The composite metal exhibits significantly stronger electrochemical performance than the single metal, effectively improving the specific capacity, rate performance, and cycle life of porous electrode materials.
[0055] By comparing the data, the data in Comparative Example 3 shows that although the porous carbon structure formed purely by the organic framework has high cycling performance and good capacity retention, it lacks the complexation of phosphating transition metals. It loses the charge storage mechanism of redox reaction and has almost only the double-layer capacity remaining, resulting in a serious decrease in mass specific capacity.
[0056] By comparing the data, the data from Comparative Examples 4 and 5 show that the covalent organic framework forms the first microporous carbon coating layer on the surface of the composite metal material, while the macroporous framework of polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fiber forms the second carbon coating layer on the outside. The presence of macropores improves the wettability of the electrolyte, while the presence of micropores reduces the resistance to ion transport. The hierarchical porous structure formed by the two synergistically improves the electrochemical performance of the porous electrode material. At the same time, the presence of the double carbon coating layer effectively suppresses the volume expansion during cycling, thereby improving the cycling performance.
[0057] By comparing the data, the data in Comparative Example 6 shows that phosphating of metallic materials effectively improves the electrochemical performance of porous electrode materials. Since phosphorus has a lower electronegativity than oxygen, phosphated nickel and cobalt transition metals can accelerate electron transport and improve redox reactions, thereby increasing conductivity. At the same time, since nickel and cobalt ions have similar radii, a NiCoP solid solution structure is formed during carbonization and phosphating. After phosphating, the phosphated crystals have two types of chemical bonds: covalent bonds and metallic bonds. The covalent bonds participate in redox reactions, while the metallic bonds can improve conductivity, thereby effectively improving electrochemical performance and resulting in higher specific capacity, rate performance, and cycle life.
[0058] By comparing the data, the data in Comparative Example 7 shows that the application of flash freezing and freeze drying technology helps to fix the multi-level porous microstructure of the electrode material during the preparation of porous electrode materials, avoiding the collapse of micropore channels caused by high-temperature vacuum drying, thereby avoiding performance loss.

It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
