Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of composite material technology, specifically relating to a core-shell structured carbon-coated FeS nanosphere, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] The rapid development of electrical equipment and wireless communication has led to a large output of electromagnetic radiation, resulting in electromagnetic pollution and interference under certain conditions, which can harm the environment and human health. Microwave absorbing materials can inhibit the propagation and reflection of electromagnetic waves. Developing new types of microwave absorbing materials with thin thickness, low mass density, high microwave loss, and effective absorption bandwidth is urgently needed.
[0003] Carbon-based hollow spheres have characteristics such as low mass density, high porosity, large specific surface area, and corrosion resistance. By adjusting the material size and composition of the magnetic core and the thickness and size of the carbon shell, the synergistic effect of multiple loss mechanisms can be achieved to enhance the attenuation energy of electromagnetic waves.
[0004] Furthermore, its unique structure allows for excellent performance in battery electrode materials. The abundant pores on its surface and the core material within provide more reaction sites for lithium-ion or sodium-ion batteries, thus making this type of material promising for applications in energy storage and microwave absorption, and a hot topic in nanomaterial synthesis and application research. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention provides a core-shell structured carbon-coated FeS nanosphere, its preparation method, and its application. The carbon-coated FeS nanospheres prepared by the method of this invention exhibit excellent microwave absorption performance in the resulting composite material at a low filling amount, and the carbon-coated FeS nanospheres also have good sodium ion storage performance.
[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A core-shell structured carbon-coated FeS nanosphere comprises FeS particles and a hollow carbon shell covering the FeS particles. The outer diameter of the hollow carbon shell is 0.5~1.7 μm and the inner diameter is 0.3~1.1 μm. The particle size of the FeS particles is 50~280 nm.
[0007] Preferably, the hollow carbon sphere shell has cavities. These cavities can provide diffusion channels for Na ions, etc.
[0008] As a general inventive concept, this invention provides a method for preparing core-shell structured carbon-coated FeS nanospheres, comprising the following steps: (1) Preparation of FeOOH nanoparticles; (2) FeOOH nanoparticles were dispersed in ethanol to obtain FeOOH dispersion; (3) Disperse n-pentane and n-dodecylamine in ethanol, add water, stir and mix evenly, add FeOOH dispersion while stirring, stir, add resorcinol and stir, then add ammonia and formaldehyde solution dropwise, and place the resulting mixture at 22~35℃ and stir continuously to obtain solid product; (4) The solid product is placed in a tube furnace and calcined under an inert atmosphere to obtain a core-shell structured carbon-based material; (5) The carbon-based material with the core-shell structure is sulfided in a tube furnace with a flowing inert atmosphere using sulfur powder as a sulfur source to obtain carbon-coated FeS nanospheres with the core-shell structure.
[0009] In the above preparation method, FeOOH nanoparticles are used as the precursor of FeS particles, which facilitates synthesis and control of crystal size and shape, and is quick and effective. In the preparation of carbon-based hollow sphere materials, n-pentane mainly plays the role of a "soft template synergistic regulator." It synergistically constructs a soft template with n-dodecylamine (a straight-chain alkylamine), guiding the polymerization of resorcinol-formaldehyde on the periphery of the micro-region to form hollow spheres. This supports the formation of hollow carbon sphere shells from three core dimensions: "structure guidance, phase separation induction, and size control."
[0010] Furthermore, this invention first calcines the obtained solid product under an inert atmosphere before sulfiding, which yields a high-purity product. If sulfidation is performed directly, the sulfur powder will react with the gas released during the carbonization of the material, generating a large number of byproducts, which is detrimental to the carbonization process and also affects the purity of the final product.
[0011] Preferably, step (1) specifically includes the following steps: at room temperature, NaOH solution is added dropwise to FeCl3 solution to make the pH value less than 8, and the mixture is stirred continuously at 50~85℃. The product is collected and freeze-dried to obtain FeOOH nanoparticles. The concentration of the FeCl3 solution is 0.1~0.3M; the concentration of the NaOH solution is 0.1~0.3M.
[0012] Preferably, in step (2), the ratio of FeOOH nanoparticles to ethanol is 0.1g:5~10mL.
[0013] Preferably, in step (3), the volume ratio of ethanol to water is 10~20:40~70; the mass ratio of FeOOH nanoparticles, resorcinol, n-pentane, n-dodecylamine, ammonia and formaldehyde solution is 0.1:0.02~0.45:0.03~0.55:0.02~0.12:0.01~0.40:0.10~1.0; if the amount of each raw material exceeds the above range, carbon-coated FeS nanospheres with a spherical core-shell structure cannot be obtained. The stirring reaction time is ≥15 hours.
[0014] Preferably, in step (5), the mass ratio of the carbon-based material of the core-shell structure to sulfur powder is 2~20:1; Preferably, the inert atmosphere in steps (4) and (5) is at least one of nitrogen and argon.
[0015] Preferably, in step (4), the roasting temperature is 400~950℃ and the roasting time is ≥3 hours; In step (5), the vulcanization temperature is 350~550℃ and the vulcanization time is 2~4 hours; As a general inventive concept, this invention provides the application of the core-shell structured carbon-coated FeS nanospheres and the core-shell structured carbon-coated FeS nanospheres prepared by the aforementioned preparation method in microwave absorption and sodium ion storage.
[0016] The beneficial technical effects of this invention are as follows: 1. The carbon-coated FeS nanospheres provided by this invention, through the design and size control of the core-shell structure, combined with a hollow structure, possess excellent microwave absorption performance. This allows incident electromagnetic waves to undergo multiple scattering and reflections within the cavity, expanding the transmission path of the electromagnetic waves, improving the effective scattering and loss of the incident electromagnetic waves, and improving the dielectric loss and interface loss of the material. By adjusting the size of the FeS particles in the core, the magnitude of magnetic loss can be changed, achieving optimal microwave absorption matching. The microwave absorbing composite material made using the carbon-coated FeS nanospheres of this invention exhibits a reflection loss as high as -35 dB.
[0017] 2. The carbon-coated FeS nanospheres provided by this invention have a porous structure on their surface, exhibiting low density and high specific surface area, thus possessing excellent Na ion storage performance. Electrodes prepared using these carbon-coated FeS nanospheres have high specific capacity and cycling performance, and have extremely broad application prospects.
[0018] 3. In preparing carbon-coated FeS nanospheres, this invention uses FeOOH nanoparticles as FeS particle precursors and employs n-pentane and n-dodecylamine to synergistically construct a soft template to guide the polymerization of resorcinol-formaldehyde around the micro-region to form hollow spheres. Then, through calcination and sulfidation, the FeS particles are coated with hollow carbon sphere shells, and there are certain gaps between the FeS particles and the hollow carbon sphere shells.
