Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of carbon materials technology, and in particular relates to a phenolic resin-based spherical carbon material and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Spherical carbon materials, as important functional carbon materials, possess characteristics such as regular spherical morphology, controllable particle size distribution, good flowability, high bulk density, and excellent mechanical strength, showing broad application prospects in adsorption separation, catalyst supports, electrode materials, chromatographic packing materials, and drug sustained release. In particular, in recent years, with the increasing demand for high-performance porous carbon materials in the energy and environmental sectors, the development of spherical carbon materials with controllable structure and excellent performance has become an important direction in carbon materials research.
[0003] Currently, the preparation methods for spherical carbon materials are mainly divided into two categories: one category uses asphalt, polymer resins, etc. as precursors, and first prepares spherical precursors through emulsification, suspension polymerization, spray drying, etc., and then obtains spherical carbon materials through stabilization, carbonization, activation, and other processes; the other category uses biomass or other carbon sources as raw materials and directly prepares spherical carbon materials through hydrothermal carbonization and other methods. Phenolic resin, as an important synthetic polymer material, is considered one of the ideal precursors for preparing high-performance spherical carbon materials due to its advantages such as high carbon content, good thermal stability, tunable crosslinking structure, and high carbonization yield. In existing technologies, the preparation of phenolic resin-based spherical carbon materials usually adopts the following methods: suspension polymerization: linear or thermosetting phenolic resin or its prepolymer is dispersed in an aqueous or oil-phase medium containing a dispersant, and spherical droplets are formed by mechanical stirring, followed by heating, curing, separation, drying, carbonization, and other steps to obtain spherical carbon materials. This method is relatively mature, but it has the following problems: sphericity is extremely sensitive to process parameters such as stirring speed, type and concentration of dispersant, and oil-to-water ratio; the particle size distribution is wide and difficult to control precisely; droplets are prone to deformation or adhesion during curing; a large amount of surfactant or dispersant is required, the post-processing is complex, and the use of organic solvents can easily cause environmental pollution. Emulsion / microemulsion method: By forming a stable oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsion system, phenolic resin undergoes a polymerization reaction within the emulsion droplets to form spherical microparticles. This method can prepare submicron to nanoscale spherical carbon materials, but it suffers from complex preparation processes, low yields, difficulty in completely removing emulsifiers, and high solvent consumption, making large-scale production difficult. Hydrothermal method: Using phenolic compounds and aldehyde compounds as raw materials, phenolic resin spheres are directly generated under hydrothermal conditions, and then carbonized to obtain spherical carbon materials. This method is relatively simple to operate, but the hydrothermal reaction process usually requires a long reaction time, and the uniformity of the particle size of the obtained spherical material needs to be improved. At the same time, the hydrothermal mother liquor contains a large number of unreacted monomers and organic by-products, and the wastewater treatment cost is high.
[0004] Furthermore, existing phenolic resin-based spherical carbon materials suffer from limitations such as limited pore structure control, difficulty in achieving both sphericity and particle size uniformity, and insufficient mechanical strength. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop green and environmentally friendly phenolic resin-based spherical carbon materials with good sphericity, uniform particle size, controllable pore structure, and high mechanical strength to meet the pressing demand for high-performance spherical carbon materials in high-end applications. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the above-mentioned problems, this application provides a phenolic resin-based spherical carbon material and its preparation method.
[0006] This application first provides a method for preparing phenolic resin-based spherical carbon materials, comprising the following steps: 1) α-Lipoic acid, N-hydroxysuccinimide and N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide were activated in a solvent, filtered, and 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate was added to the filtrate for reaction. Then 1,4-butyrosulactone was added for reaction. After post-treatment, betaine derivatives were obtained. 2) Phenol, betaine derivative, formaldehyde aqueous solution, polyethylene glycol and ammonia are mixed and polymerized. Then, hexamethylenetetramine is added to carry out cross-linking and curing reaction. After the reaction is completed, the precursor is obtained by solid-liquid separation, washing and drying. The precursor is then carbonized at high temperature under an inert atmosphere and cooled to obtain the final product.
[0007] Furthermore, in step 1), the mass ratio of α-lipoic acid, N-hydroxysuccinimide, N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate and 1,4-butyrosulactone is 1:(0.2-0.5):(0.5-1.0):(0.4-0.8):(0.3-0.6).
[0008] Furthermore, in step 1), the solvent is at least one of tetrahydrofuran, dichloromethane, or N,N-dimethylformamide.
[0009] Furthermore, in step 1), the activation reaction and the reaction after adding 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate are both carried out at room temperature, and the reaction after adding 1,4-butyrolactone is carried out at 30-60°C.
[0010] Furthermore, in step 2), the mass ratio of phenol, betaine derivative, formaldehyde aqueous solution, polyethylene glycol and ammonia is 1:(0.1-0.5):(0.8-1.5):(0.02-0.1):(0.03-0.1).
[0011] Furthermore, in step 2), the polyethylene glycol is at least one of polyethylene glycol-2000, polyethylene glycol-4000, polyethylene glycol-6000, or polyethylene glycol-8000; And / or, in step 2), oat β-glucan is added along with polyethylene glycol.
[0012] Furthermore, in step 2), the polymerization reaction is carried out at a temperature of 80-95°C for 8-16 hours. And / or, in step 2), the temperature of the crosslinking curing reaction is 90-100℃ and the time is 1-5h.
[0013] Furthermore, in step 2), the mass ratio of phenol to hexamethylenetetramine is 1:(0.02-0.08).
[0014] Furthermore, in step 2), the high-temperature carbonization process is as follows: the temperature is increased to 1000-1500℃ at a heating rate of 1-10℃ / min, and held at this temperature for 1-5 hours. And / or, in step 2), the inert atmosphere is one or more of nitrogen, argon, or helium.
[0015] This application also provides a phenolic resin-based spherical carbon material, which is prepared by the above-described preparation method.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects: This application introduces a betaine derivative into a phenolic polymerization system. The methacrylate group at one end of this derivative can participate in the phenolic condensation reaction and be grafted onto the phenolic resin molecular chain. The zwitterionic structure formed by the sulfonate and quaternary ammonium salt groups at the other end significantly improves the monodispersity and sphericity of the precursor microspheres, reducing adhesion and deformation problems. Under ammonia catalysis, the phenolic oligomer grafted with the betaine derivative self-assembles in a water / alcohol system to form stable micelles or droplets. The addition of polyethylene glycol further modulates the viscosity and interfacial tension of the system. As polymerization and cross-linking reactions proceed, these micelles or droplets solidify in situ to form precursor microspheres with a regular spherical morphology. In the subsequent high-temperature carbonization process, the organic components in the precursor pyrolyze, ultimately forming a carbon material with good sphericity, well-developed pore structure, uniform particle size, and high specific surface area. In addition, when carbon materials are used as electrode materials, derivatives can introduce sulfur atoms into the carbon materials, which can significantly increase the interlayer spacing of the carbon materials, improve porosity and specific surface area, and facilitate the insertion, extraction and diffusion of sodium ions. Moreover, intrinsic defects can be introduced to provide additional uniformly dispersed active sites, thereby improving sodium storage capacity and stability. Attached Figure Description
