Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of polymer composite materials and functional electrolyte materials, and relates to an interfacial covalently constructed MOF composite electrolyte film, its preparation method and its application. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of flexible electronics and wearable devices, flexible sensors and flexible solid electrolyte materials have become research hotspots. Among them, imidazole zwitterionic polymers have attracted much attention due to their ion migration channels and good biocompatibility. However, single polymer electrolyte systems present a dilemma: ionic conductivity and mechanical properties are difficult to balance. Reducing the crosslinking density can improve conductivity but decreases mechanical strength, while increasing the crosslinking density restricts chain segment movement, leading to decreased ion conduction performance, and also results in insufficient structural stability under repeated deformation.
[0003] To overcome the aforementioned problems, researchers have attempted to introduce metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to construct composite electrolyte systems. MOFs, due to their ordered channels, high specific surface area, and tunable functional groups, are considered to improve mechanical properties and provide additional channels for ion migration. Currently, physical blending methods are mainly used to disperse MOF powders in monomer or polymer solutions, followed by polymerization or film formation to achieve filler dispersion and performance synergy. However, existing physical blending methods have significant shortcomings: the interaction between MOFs and the polymer matrix is primarily physical, resulting in limited interfacial bonding; high MOF content easily leads to agglomeration, causing internal defects in the material; stress concentration easily occurs at the interface during stretching or bending, leading to cracking or filler detachment; and there is a risk of filler migration or leaching during long-term use. Although some studies have performed surface functionalization modifications on MOFs to improve dispersibility, they have still failed to enable MOFs to directly participate in polymerization reactions to form chemically bonded structures. MOFs are only embedded in the system as filler particles rather than network structural units, making it impossible to achieve a continuous and stable three-dimensional cross-linked network, and thus difficult to synergistically optimize mechanical and ion conduction properties. Summary of the Invention

[0014] Thirdly, this application discloses the application of an interfacially covalently constructed MOF composite electrolyte film in a flexible sensor, characterized in that the interfacially covalently constructed MOF composite electrolyte film serves as a sensing layer and is disposed between the electrode layers.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The interfacial covalently constructed MOF composite electrolyte film disclosed in this application significantly improves the interfacial compatibility between the metal-organic framework material and the polymer matrix through interfacial covalent bonding design. Within the aforementioned mass fraction range, the polymer matrix formed by the polymerization of imidazole zwitterionic monomers and the metal-organic framework material form a stable interfacial structure through covalent bonding, effectively suppressing MOF aggregation and enhancing the mechanical integrity and structural stability of the composite electrolyte film. Simultaneously, by rationally controlling the mass ratio of the polymer matrix, metal-organic framework material, and ionic liquid, synergistic optimization of ion conduction performance and mechanical properties is achieved. Within the specified composition range, the composite film can form a suitable microstructure, balancing good molecular chain flexibility and network integrity, thereby exhibiting low ion conduction activation energy and stable electrochemical performance under both room temperature and heated conditions.
[0016] This application discloses a method for preparing a covalently constructed MOF composite electrolyte film. The invention involves blending a polymer matrix formed by the polymerization of imidazole zwitterionic monomers, a metal-organic framework (MOF) material, an ionic liquid, and a photoinitiator in a methanol solvent to form a uniform precursor suspension. A free radical polymerization reaction is then initiated using photoinitiation or thermal initiation, causing in-situ copolymerization between the polymerizable double bonds on the surface of the MOF material and the polymer matrix. This constructs a "molecular-level" covalent interface between the MOF and the polymer matrix. This interface structure effectively solves the problem of poor interfacial compatibility in traditional physical blending, significantly improving the mechanical integrity and structural stability of the composite film. Furthermore, the method maintains the structural integrity of the cross-linked network during solvent removal by first constructing a three-dimensional cross-linked network and then evaporating the solvent, avoiding phase separation or network collapse. This results in a composite electrolyte film with a uniform structure and controllable microstructure. The photoinitiation or thermal initiation methods are mild and easy to operate, which helps maintain the functional properties of the MOF material and the ionic liquid during preparation, thus endowing the composite film with good flexibility and stable ion conductivity.
[0017] The composite electrolyte film described in this invention exhibits excellent signal response performance in flexible sensor applications. Flexible sensors constructed using this film as the core sensing layer demonstrate regular periodic signal responses, good peak consistency, fast response / recovery speed, and excellent anti-interference capabilities in dynamic motion scenarios such as fingers, wrists, and elbows, as well as in monitoring weak physiological signals such as swallowing. Furthermore, the signal exhibits no significant baseline drift or clutter interference, fully validating the enormous application potential of this composite electrolyte film in the field of wearable health monitoring.

This macromonomer is then subjected to in-situ free radical copolymerization with a self-designed imidazole zwitterionic monomer, PIM3S, achieving the construction of a covalently bonded interface between the MOF and the polymer matrix. This method fundamentally solves the core problems of poor dispersibility and weak interfacial bonding in traditional physical blending systems. By chemically coupling the rigid porous structure of the MOF with the flexible ionic conductivity of the zwitterionic polymer at the molecular scale, it achieves a synergistic performance of "high conductivity, strong mechanical properties, and stable interface." The resulting composite electrolyte film, with an optimal ratio of 70% MOF-40% [C2mim][FSI], exhibits a uniform and dense microstructure, a glass transition temperature of -28.6 ℃, an elastic modulus of 32.2 MPa, and an elongation at break of approximately 14%, demonstrating both excellent mechanical flexibility and structural stability. Furthermore, it exhibits high ionic conductivity and low ionic activation energy within the temperature range of room temperature to 70 ℃, providing an ideal core functional layer material for the development of high-performance flexible sensors.
[0054] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0055] In the performance tests of the embodiments, all tests were conducted under standard conditions.
[0056] The method for determining ionic conductivity is as follows: using an electrochemical workstation, AC impedance testing is performed under conditions of frequency range of 100 kHz to 0.1 Hz and AC amplitude of 10 mV. The film resistance Rb is obtained analytically through Nyquist plot, and the ionic conductivity is calculated according to the formula σ = d / (Rb × A) in combination with the film thickness d and electrode area A.
[0057] The method for determining the elastic modulus is as follows: a universal testing machine is used to perform a tensile test on the sample at a constant rate (10 mm / min), the stress-strain curve is recorded, and the elastic modulus is calculated according to the formula E = σ / ε within the elastic deformation range.
[0058] The method for determining the glass transition temperature is as follows: using a differential scanning calorimeter, under a nitrogen protective atmosphere, the temperature is increased from -50 °C to 40 °C at a rate of 10 °C / min, the heat flow change curve is recorded, and the Tg value is determined by analysis.
[0059] The method for determining the uniformity of MOF dispersion is SEM analysis.
[0060] Example 1: Synthesis of Pim3S monomer The preparation method of imidazole zwitterionic monomer PIM3S is illustrated below as an example. The preparation method includes the following steps: 1) Synthesis of HIm monomer: At room temperature, imidazole (60 g), potassium hydroxide (49.2 g) and dimethyl sulfoxide (400 g) were added sequentially to a dry three-necked flask and heated to reflux at 70 °C until the solid was completely dissolved. After cooling, 6-chloro-1-hexanol (100 g) was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 hours. After the reaction was completed, deionized water and dichloromethane were added for extraction and separation. The washing was repeated 5 times. The organic phase was removed by rotary evaporation to obtain the HIm monomer.
[0061] 2) Synthesis of HIm3S monomer: HIm monomer (5 g), sodium tribromopropanesulfonate (6.7 g) and N,N-dimethylformamide (30 mL) were added to a reaction flask and stirred overnight at 70 °C. After the reaction was completed, ethanol was added to dissolve the product, which was washed three times with ethyl acetate and dried under vacuum to obtain HIm3S monomer.
[0062] 3) Synthesis of PIm3S monomer: HIm3S monomer (5 g), tetrahydrofuran (20 mL), 4-pyrrolidinylpyridine (0.051 g), 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol (0.05 g), and acetonitrile (2 mL) were added to a reaction flask. Acryloyl chloride (4.2 mL) was slowly added dropwise in an ice-water bath at 0 ℃. After the addition was complete, the mixture was stirred overnight at 0 ℃. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was washed with a 1:1 mixture of petroleum ether and ethyl acetate and filtered. The filter cake was collected and dried. The dried solid was dissolved in acetonitrile and filtered to remove insoluble impurities. The filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure to remove the solvent, yielding crude PIm3S product. The product was purified by dry column chromatography using a 95:5 mixture of dichloromethane and methanol as the eluent. The target fraction was collected, dried by rotary evaporation, and the purified PIm3S monomer was obtained.
[0063] Example 2: Synthesis of UiO-66-NH-AA The following description uses the preparation method of acryloyl-functionalized metal-organic framework UiO-66-NH-AA as an example. The preparation method includes the following steps: 1) Synthesis of UiO-66-NH2: Zirconium chloride (approximately 10 mmol) was pre-dissolved in a mixed solution of 25 mL N,N-dimethylformamide and 5 mL concentrated hydrochloric acid. Separately, 2-aminoterephthalic acid (approximately 14 mmol) was pre-dissolved in an appropriate amount of N,N-dimethylformamide. The two solutions were mixed thoroughly and transferred to a 100 mL reactor. The reaction was carried out at 80 °C for 12 hours. After the reaction, the solid product was collected by centrifugation, washed three times with N,N-dimethylformamide, and then soaked and washed in ethanol for 3 days (changing the ethanol daily). Finally, it was vacuum dried at 150 °C for 12 hours to obtain UiO-66-NH2 powder. Its optical photographs, SEM images, XRD patterns, and FTIR spectra are shown below. Figure 1-4 As shown.
[0064] 2) Synthesis of UiO-66-NH-AA: Dry UiO-66-NH2 powder was dispersed in dichloromethane, and excess acrylic anhydride was added at 0 °C (the molar ratio of UiO-66-NH2, acrylic anhydride, and dichloromethane was 1:2.5:126). The mixture was refluxed at 55 °C for 24 hours. After the reaction was completed, the solid product was collected by centrifugation, washed several times with fresh dichloromethane, and dried under vacuum at 40 °C for 6 hours to obtain acrylamide-functionalized UiO-66-NH-AA. Its morphology and structure are shown in [reference needed]. Figure 1-4 .
[0065] Example 3: Preparation of composite electrolyte membrane (70% MOF-40% IL) In a nitrogen-protected glove box (with water and oxygen content below 0.1 ppm), based on 100 parts (0.05 g) of the Pim3S monomer prepared in Example 1, 70 parts (0.035 g) of UiO-66-NH-AA, 40 parts (0.02 g) of [C2mim][FSI], and 10 parts (0.005 g) of photoinitiator 907 prepared in Example 2 were weighed and added to 0.3 mL of methanol. The mixture was ultrasonically dispersed for 30 min to obtain a uniform suspension. The suspension was transferred to a polytetrafluoroethylene mold, leveled, and then placed under a UV light source (wavelength 365 nm, light intensity 15 mW / cm²) for polymerization initiation for 60 min. After polymerization, the mixture was transferred to a 70 °C heating stage to evaporate the solvent. After cooling, it was peeled off to obtain a self-supporting solid polymer electrolyte film, denoted as 70% MOF-40% IL.
[0066] Comparative Example 1: Preparation of 70% MOF-30% IL thin film The preparation method of Example 3 was followed, except that the amount of [C2mim][FSI] added was changed to 30 parts (0.015 g), and the other operations were the same as in Example 3, to obtain a 70% MOF-30% IL film.
[0067] Comparative Example 2: Preparation of 70% MOF-50% IL films The preparation method of Example 3 was followed, except that the amount of [C2mim][FSI] added was changed to 50 parts (0.025 g), and the other operations were the same as in Example 3, to obtain a 70% MOF-50% IL film.
[0068] Comparative Example 3: Preparation of 80% MOF-40% IL films The preparation method of Example 3 was followed, except that the amount of UiO-66-NH-AA added was changed to 80 parts (0.04 g), and the other operations were the same as in Example 3, to obtain an 80% MOF-40% IL film.
[0069] Comparative Example 4: Preparation of 90% MOF-40% IL films The preparation method of Example 3 was followed, except that the amount of UiO-66-NH-AA added was changed to 90 parts (0.045 g), and the other operations were the same as in Example 3, to obtain a 90% MOF-40% IL film.
[0070] Table 1 shows a comparison of the performance of the composite electrolyte films obtained in Example 3 and Comparative Examples 1-4.
[0071] Table 1. Performance Comparison of Composite Electrolyte Films with Different Ratios
[0072] As can be seen from Table 1, the composite electrolyte film prepared in Example 3 is superior to Comparative Examples 1-4 in terms of microstructure, thermal properties and mechanical properties, indicating that the 70% MOF-40% [C2mim][FSI] ratio is the composition with the best overall performance in this system.
[0073] Morphology and structural characterization of composite electrolyte films 1. Microstructure characterization of composite electrolyte films The composite films prepared in Example 3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were cut into 1 cm × 1 cm sizes, attached to conductive adhesive, and then sputtered with gold using an ion sputtering apparatus (15 mA, 60 s). The surface morphology was then observed using a scanning electron microscope.
[0074] Figure 5 The images show SEM images of five polymer electrolyte films with different formulations prepared in the embodiments and comparative examples of this invention at different magnifications. As can be seen from the figures: In Example 3, the film exhibited a continuous, uniform, and smooth morphology without obvious particles at the 5 μm, 1 μm, and 500 nm scales. No MOF agglomeration or phase separation traces were observed, indicating that the crosslinking efficiency of [C2mim][FSI] and Pim3S monomers was optimal under this ratio. The ionic liquid can fully coat the MOF particles and promote their uniform dispersion, forming a dense and defect-free three-dimensional crosslinked network.
[0075] In Comparative Example 1, obvious granular protrusions are visible on the film at the 5 μm scale. Upon magnification, local agglomeration of the UiO-66-NH-AA filler is observed, and microcracks are present on the film surface. This is due to insufficient ionic liquid content, which fails to fully coat the MOF particles and fill the crosslinking network, resulting in excessively high crosslinking density and increased internal stress in the system.
[0076] Comparative Example 2: The film surface exhibits a uniform "foggy" morphology with no obvious particles or cracks, but slight phase separation textures are visible under high magnification. This is because the ionic liquid content is too high, and the excessive [C2mim][FSI] acts as a plasticizer, reducing the density of the cross-linked network and causing the system to exhibit a semi-gel state.
[0077] In Comparative Example 3, numerous granular protrusions were visible on the film at the 5 μm scale. Upon magnification, the aggregation of UiO-66-NH-AA particles was clearly observed, and there were obvious gaps between the particles. This was due to the excessive MOF content, which prevented the ionic liquid from fully coating all the filler particles.
[0078] In Comparative Example 4, a large number of MOF particle aggregates with uneven size were observed at both the 5 μm and 1 μm scales. There was no continuous polymer matrix connection between the particles, and they exhibited obvious "powder-like" stacking characteristics, indicating that the MOF content had far exceeded the dispersion limit of the system.
[0079] 2. Crystal structure characterization of composite electrolyte films The composite films prepared in Example 3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were tested using a wide-angle X-ray scattering instrument, and the results are as follows: Figure 6 As shown. With a fixed UiO-66-NH-AA content of 70%, as the [C2mim][FSI] content increases from 30% to 50%, the film at q≈6 nm... -The characteristic diffraction peak intensity at position ¹ decreased significantly while the peak width increased, indicating that increasing the ionic liquid content weakened the orderly crystalline phase stacking of the MOF filler. With a fixed [C2mim][FSI] content of 40%, as the MOF content increased, the characteristic diffraction peak intensity gradually increased, the peak shape became sharper, and shifted to the right, indicating that excessive MOF content would induce crystalline phase aggregation. The film in Example 3 (70% MOF - 40% IL) exhibited a synergistic hybrid structure of "weak crystalline phase + amorphous," with moderate diffraction peak intensity and broadened peak shape. This retained the appropriate crystalline support of the MOF filler while maintaining the mobility of the polymer chains through the plasticizing effect of the ionic liquid.
[0080] The composite films prepared in Example 3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were tested using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and the results are as follows: Figure 7 As shown. The characteristic peaks of the film in Example 3 have moderate intensity and no obvious shift, indicating that the interaction between the ionic liquid, MOF filler and PIM3S monomer is in a synergistic equilibrium state under this ratio. It retains a moderate crosslinking effect to maintain mechanical strength, and ensures ionic conductivity through ionic dipole interaction.
[0081] 3. Differential scanning calorimetry analysis of composite electrolyte thin films The composite films prepared in Example 3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were tested using differential scanning calorimetry, and the results are as follows: Figure 8 As shown, no obvious melting or crystallization peaks were observed in any of the film formulations during the cooling and heating stages, indicating that the composite films were predominantly amorphous. The Tg value of the film in Example 3 was -28.6 °C, which is in the middle of all formulations. This optimized value ensures the flexibility of the molecular chains of the film at room temperature while avoiding the network looseness caused by too low a Tg (e.g., Comparative Example 2 Tg = -31.7 °C) or the excessive rigidity caused by too high a Tg (e.g., Comparative Example 4 Tg = -15.4 °C).
[0082] 4. Mechanical property testing of composite electrolyte films The tensile properties of the composite films prepared in Example 3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were tested using a universal testing machine. The results are as follows: Figure 9 As shown. The film in Example 3 exhibits an elastic modulus as high as 32.2 MPa, demonstrating optimal overall mechanical properties. This is attributed to the synergistic balance between the MOF and ionic liquid content—the plasticizing effect of an appropriate amount of ionic liquid ensures the mobility of chain segments, while the modified MOF is tightly bonded to the matrix through covalent bonding interfaces, effectively transferring and dispersing stress as a rigid reinforcing phase.
[0083] 5. Electrochemical performance testing of composite electrolyte films The conductivity of the composite films prepared in Example 3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 was tested using an electrochemical workstation, and the results are as follows: Figure 10As shown. The ionic conductivity of the film in Example 3 is at a high level across the entire temperature range (0.025 mS / cm at room temperature and 0.2 mS / cm at 70 °C).
[0084] 6. Performance Testing of Flexible Sensors Based on Composite Electrolyte Thin Films Flexible sensors were constructed using the composite films prepared in Examples 3 and Comparative Examples 1-4. First, composite polymer electrolyte films with different component ratios were cut into small circular pieces of uniform size and stably sandwiched between two symmetrical positive and negative electrode patches (slightly larger than the composite polymer electrolyte film) to form a sandwich structure of "positive electrode patch / composite electrolyte film / negative electrode patch". Then, two copper wires of the same length were fixed at the edges of the positive and negative electrode patches to ensure stable conductivity. The sensor was then tightly attached to the target test site on the human body, and the impedance change signal during human movement was collected in real time using an AC impedance meter.
[0085] like Figure 11 As shown, a finger bending test was performed on the composite electrolyte film. In Example 3, the sensor signal curve exhibited regular periodic fluctuations, with the signal rising rapidly during bending and falling back quickly upon resetting. The peak consistency was strong, with no baseline drift or clutter interference. In Comparative Example 1, the sensor signal fluctuation amplitude was small, exhibiting a "signal loss" phenomenon; in Comparative Example 2, the sensor signal baseline drift was severe; in Comparative Example 3, the sensor signal had sharp clutter peaks; and in Comparative Example 4, the sensor signal fluctuation was weak and irregular.
[0086] like Figure 12 As shown, a wrist bending test was performed on the composite electrolyte membrane. In Example 3, the sensor signal curve exhibited a symmetrical "rise-fall" characteristic, with a stable baseline and no drift. The signal amplitude did not attenuate after multiple cycles. In Comparative Example 1, the sensor signal peak was small and had low discrimination; in Comparative Example 2, the sensor signal was "sawtooth"; and in Comparative Examples 3 and 4, the sensor signal response was lagging and fluctuated significantly, exhibiting a "tailing" phenomenon during reset.
[0087] like Figure 13 As shown, elbow bending tests were performed on the composite electrolyte membrane. In Example 3, the sensor signal curve clearly exhibited a cyclical characteristic of "bending up - resetting down," with the highest signal peak reaching 6.5. After resetting, the signal returned to the baseline. In Comparative Example 1, the sensor signal peak was approximately 0.05; in Comparative Example 2, the sensor signal baseline drifted significantly; in Comparative Example 3, the sensor signal rose slowly; and in Comparative Example 4, the sensor signal fluctuated violently and irregularly.
