Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of building energy storage and electrochemical technology, and more specifically, to a composite solid-state structure capacitor based on in-situ polymerization and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Existing cement-based structural capacitors mostly use porous cement-based materials or salt-containing pore solutions as solid electrolytes. Their ion transport mainly relies on limited free water and dissolved ions in the pores. The ion migration paths are dispersed and lack continuity, resulting in low overall ionic conductivity, which is insufficient to meet the requirements of high power density and rapid charge-discharge. Secondly, cement-based materials are easily affected by environmental factors such as wet-dry cycles and temperature changes during service. The moisture content in the pores fluctuates greatly, and the electrolyte performance deteriorates significantly over time, leading to unstable electrochemical performance. The authorized invention patent CN119495513B introduces soluble salts or liquid electrolytes to improve conductivity, but this method has drawbacks such as leakage risk, insufficient durability, and adverse effects on cement hydration and mechanical properties, limiting its engineering application.
[0003] To address the shortcomings of cement-based systems, such as poor energy storage and adverse effects on mechanical properties, authorized patent CN120199623B attempts to introduce polymer electrolytes into cement-based systems to improve their ion transport performance. However, existing technologies use post-implantation or physical blending methods to introduce polymers into cement pores, resulting in limited interfacial bonding between the polymer and the cement matrix. This makes it difficult to form a continuous and stable ion transport network at the pore scale, and the preparation process is complex and has poor reproducibility. Therefore, constructing cement-based solid electrolytes through in-situ polymerization could provide a new technical approach for achieving high-performance, long-life cement-based structural capacitors. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a method for preparing a composite solid-state capacitor based on in-situ polymerization.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A composite solid-state capacitor based on in-situ polymerization includes two activated carbon-based electrodes and a cement-based solid electrolyte disposed between the two activated carbon-based electrodes. The activated carbon-based electrodes are made of nickel foam, active materials, conductive agents, binders and organic solvents; the cement-based solid electrolyte is made of polyethylene glycol, acrylic acid, NaOH, crosslinking agents, initiators, reducing agents, deionized water and cement.
[0007] Furthermore, the active material is activated carbon; the conductive agent is acetylene black; the binder is polyvinylidene fluoride; the organic solvent is N-methylpyrrolidone, and the ratio of the amount of organic solvent, active material, conductive agent and binder is (3~5) mL: (7~9) g: (0.5~1.5) g: (0.5~1.5) g.
[0008] Furthermore, the mass ratio of polyethylene glycol, acrylic acid, crosslinking agent, initiator, reducing agent and deionized water is (2~6):(0.2~3):(0.001~0.01):(0.003~0.03):(0.003~0.03):(30~60).
[0009] Furthermore, the crosslinking agent is N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide; the initiator is a water-soluble thermal initiator, consisting of one or a combination of ammonium persulfate or potassium persulfate; and the reducing agent is one or a combination of sodium bisulfite or sodium sulfite.
[0010] A method for fabricating a composite solid-state capacitor based on in-situ polymerization includes the following steps:
[0011] S1. Preparation of activated carbon-based electrodes;
[0012] S2. Preparation of cement-based in-situ polymerized composite solid electrolyte slurry;
[0013] S3. The electrolyte slurry is placed between two activated carbon-based electrodes to form a sandwich structure, and in-situ polymerization and cement hydration reaction are carried out under pressure to obtain a composite solid-state capacitor.
[0014] Further, in step S1, the active material, conductive agent and binder are mixed, an organic solvent is added and ground to form a uniform slurry; the slurry is loaded onto the surface of nickel foam by a rolling process, and after vacuum drying, an activated carbon-based electrode is obtained.
[0015] Furthermore, in step S1, the loading of activated carbon-based electrode slurry on the surface of the nickel foam is 10~30 mg / cm³. 2 The main roller speed of the rolling process is controlled at 0.5-5m / min, and the applied linear pressure ranges from 50-300N / cm. The foamed nickel is ultrasonically cleaned alternately with anhydrous ethanol and deionized water before being used for slurry loading. The slurry viscosity is 2000-8000mPa·s.
[0016] Further, in step S2, polyethylene glycol is dissolved in water to obtain a polyethylene glycol solution; acrylic acid is dissolved in water, and the pH of the solution is adjusted to neutral with NaOH before a crosslinking agent is added to obtain an acrylic composite solution; the polyethylene glycol solution, the acrylic composite solution, and cement are mixed and stirred evenly, and then an initiator solution and a reducing agent solution are added, and the mixture is stirred evenly to obtain a cement-based composite solid electrolyte slurry.
[0017] Further, in step S3, the cement-based composite solid electrolyte slurry obtained in step S2 is placed in a thin film mold, and the activated carbon-based electrode prepared in step S1 is placed on both sides of the cement-based composite solid electrolyte slurry; after standing, it is extruded; after extrusion, in-situ polymerization reaction and cement hydration reaction are carried out; then curing is performed to obtain a composite solid structure capacitor based on in-situ polymerization.
[0018] Furthermore, in step S3, the cement-based composite solid electrolyte slurry has an expansion of 120~160mm; the extrusion pressure is 0.5~5MPa, and the extrusion time is 10-20s; the thickness of the electrolyte layer under pressure is controlled to be 2~3mm; and the in-situ polymerization reaction is carried out at 40~60℃ for 1~3h.
[0019] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] 1. This invention relates to an activated carbon-based electrode using nickel foam as the current collector. Nickel foam possesses a three-dimensional interconnected porous structure and excellent conductivity, effectively reducing the electrode's internal resistance. Activated carbon material has a large specific surface area, providing abundant electrical double-layer energy storage sites. Acetylene black, as a conductive agent, further improves the electron transport channels within the electrode. PVDF binder ensures the bonding strength between the active material and the current collector, enabling the electrode to maintain good structural stability and electrochemical consistency under pressure conditions and during long-term operation. The activated carbon-based electrode also features widely available and inexpensive raw materials.
[0021] 2. This invention introduces a composite system of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and acrylic acid (AA) into a cement-based solid electrolyte, and achieves in-situ polymerization during the curing process. PEG molecules possess excellent hydrophilicity and a flexible chain structure; their introduction can regulate the pore structure of cement-based materials, promoting the formation of more fine and uniformly distributed effective pores. Acrylic acid, under the action of initiators and reducing agents, polymerizes in situ to form a polyacrylic acid network. The carboxyl functional groups abundant in its molecular chains enhance the adsorption and fixation capacity for ions, while simultaneously constructing continuous ion migration channels within the pores of the cement-based material.
[0022] The synergistic effect of polyethylene glycol and acrylic acid enables the formation of a multi-scale, interconnected ion transport network within the cement-based solid electrolyte. This effectively improves the ionic conductivity of the solid electrolyte without significantly weakening the mechanical properties and pressure resistance of cement-based materials, thereby overcoming the technical problem of limited ion migration in traditional cement-based electrolytes.
[0023] 3. The electrolyte layer of this invention is thin and uniformly distributed, resulting in a short ion transport path and superior electrochemical performance of the capacitor. By directly placing the cement-based composite solid electrolyte between two activated carbon-based electrodes and performing in-situ polymerization and curing, this invention utilizes constant pressure extrusion to effectively control and uniformly distribute the electrolyte layer thickness, significantly shortening the ion transport path between the electrodes and thus reducing the capacitor's internal resistance. The resulting composite solid capacitor has a wide stable operating voltage window and can achieve high energy density and power density under relatively thin structural conditions.
[0024] 4. The composite solid-state capacitor of this invention is prepared using in-situ polymerization and cement hydration processes. The process is simple, highly adaptable, and compatible with existing building material processing and construction methods, facilitating large-scale implementation and engineering applications. Furthermore, this capacitor possesses solid-state, stable, and pressure-bearing structural characteristics, allowing it to be designed as a functional unit combining structural load-bearing and energy storage capabilities. Practical application verification results show that multiple capacitors connected in series can provide continuous and stable power output to small electrical devices, indicating its suitability for low-power electronic devices, sensors, or emergency power supply applications in building environments.

[0044] Figure 20 A schematic diagram showing five structural capacitors connected in series to power a small electric fan. Detailed Implementation
[0045] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0046] This invention provides a method for preparing a composite solid-state capacitor based on in-situ polymerization, specifically including the following steps:
[0047] Step 1: Preparation of activated carbon-based electrode:
[0048] Nickel foam was used as a current collector with a size of (8~12) mm × (10~20) mm. The nickel foam was ultrasonically cleaned alternately with anhydrous ethanol and deionized water for 10 minutes each time. The cleaned nickel foam was then placed in an oven to dry for later use.
[0049] Weigh out the active material, conductive agent, and binder (preferably, the active material is activated carbon, the conductive agent is acetylene black, and the binder is polyvinylidene fluoride), and mix and grind them thoroughly in a mortar. The activated carbon (with a specific surface area greater than 1000 m²) should be... 2 / g), acetylene black (particle size 35-45nm, surface area 70~85m²), 2 The mass ratio of N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) to polyvinylidene fluoride (molecular weight 1.1 million, particle size <100μm) is (7~9):(0.5~1.5):(0.5~1.5); N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) is added to the mixed powder in the mortar, and the ratio of N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) to the mixed powder is (3~5)mL:(8~12)g. Grind for 8~12min to obtain a uniform electrode slurry with a viscosity of 2000-8000mPa·s.
[0050] The above electrode paste was drop-coated onto a nickel foam surface measuring (8~12) mm × (10~20) mm, with an activated carbon-based electrode paste loading of 10~30 mg / cm³ on the nickel foam surface. 2The nickel foam is rolled and leveled using a roller press. The main roller speed of the rolling process is controlled at 0.5-5 m / min, and the applied linear pressure ranges from 50-300 N / cm. The nickel foam is then dried in a vacuum drying oven at 50-80℃ for 6-24 hours to obtain an activated carbon-based electrode.
[0051] Step 2: Preparation of in-situ polymerized cement-based composite solid electrolyte:
[0052] Polyethylene glycol (molecular weight 4000-8000 Da) was dissolved in deionized water at a mass ratio of (2~6):(10~20). The solution was stirred at room temperature until completely dissolved to obtain a polyethylene glycol solution.
[0053] Acrylic acid is dissolved in deionized water to obtain an acrylic acid solution. The mass ratio of acrylic acid to deionized water is (0.2~3):(10~20). The pH of the acrylic acid solution is adjusted to neutral conditions using flake sodium hydroxide to obtain a mixed solution. A crosslinking agent is added to the mixed solution. The mass ratio of acrylic acid to crosslinking agent is (0.2~3):(0.001~0.01). Preferably, the crosslinking agent is N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA). After complete stirring, an acrylic acid composite solution is obtained. The mass ratio of polyethylene glycol, acrylic acid, initiator, and reducing agent is (2~6):(0.2~3):(0.003~0.03):(0.003~0.03). The initiator is added to deionized water to obtain an initiator solution. Preferably, the initiator is ammonium persulfate, and the mass ratio of initiator to deionized water is (0.003~0.03):(5~10). The reducing agent is dissolved in deionized water to obtain a reducing agent solution. Preferably, the reducing agent is sodium bisulfite, and the mass ratio of reducing agent to deionized water is (0.003~0.03):(5~10).
[0054] The above-mentioned polyethylene glycol solution and acrylic composite solution were added sequentially to 70-90g of cement that had been weighed, and the mixture was stirred evenly. Then, the above-prepared ammonium persulfate solution and sodium bisulfite solution were added separately, and the mixture was stirred for 8-12 minutes to obtain a cement-based composite solid electrolyte slurry with a spread of 120-160mm.
[0055] Step 3: Assembly and curing of composite solid-state capacitors:
[0056] Take the cement-based composite solid electrolyte slurry obtained in step two and place it in a thin film mold. Place the activated carbon-based electrodes prepared in step one on both sides of the solid electrolyte slurry. After standing for 1-3 hours, apply a pressure of 0.5-5 MPa to the composite material and hold it for 10-20 seconds. Under pressure, control the thickness of the electrolyte layer to 2-3 mm. After extrusion, place the composite material in a vacuum drying oven at 40-60℃ for 1 hour to cure it. Remove excess composite solid electrolyte from the outside of the cement, and finally obtain the in-situ polymerized composite solid structure capacitor.

[0061] Weigh 8g of activated carbon, 1g of acetylene black and 1g of polyvinylidene fluoride, place them in a mortar and mix and grind them thoroughly; then add 4mL of N-methylpyrrolidone to the mixed powder and continue grinding for 10min to obtain a uniform electrode slurry.
[0062] The obtained slurry was uniformly drop-coated onto the surface of nickel foam, with a drop-coating area of 10 mm × 10 mm. The loading of the activated carbon-based electrode slurry on the nickel foam surface was 21.4 mg / cm³. 2 The 10mm × 5mm uncoated nickel foam electrode was used as the lead-out terminal for external testing.

[0092] Comparative Example 1
[0093] The capacitor was prepared according to the method of Example 1, except that in step (2), the acrylic composite solution, ammonium persulfate solution, and sodium bisulfite solution were not added to Comparative Example 1; 4g of polyethylene glycol was weighed and added to 10g of deionized water, and stirred at room temperature until completely dissolved to obtain a polyethylene glycol solution. 80g of cement was weighed, and the polyethylene glycol solution was added to the cement.

It can be seen that the CV curves of Example 1 maintain a relatively stable spindle shape within the test voltage window, without significant deformation, indicating that the device has good electrochemical stability.
[0096] Figure 2 The cement-based composite solid-state capacitor prepared in Example 1 operates at a current density of 1 mA / cm². 2 The constant current charge-discharge (GCD) curves are shown in the figure. As can be seen from the figure, the charge-discharge curves of Example 1 exhibit good overall symmetry, indicating that the device has high coulombic efficiency and stable charge-discharge behavior, with a discharge time of 81s.
[0097] Figure 3 The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results are shown for the cement-based composite solid-state capacitor prepared in Example 1. In the high-frequency region, the intercept of the curve on the real axis is approximately 6 Ω, indicating a low internal resistance of about 6 Ω. In the mid-frequency region, the corresponding semicircle diameter is small, indicating a low charge transfer impedance, which is beneficial for electron and ion transport. In the low-frequency region, the slope of the curve in Example 1 is closer to the vertical direction, indicating that it has superior ion diffusion characteristics.
[0098] Figure 4The cyclic voltammetry (CV) curves of the cement-based composite solid-state capacitor prepared in Example 2 show that its overall morphology is stable and no obvious distortion occurs, indicating that the device has good electrochemical stability within the test voltage range.

The SEM image of Comparative Example 1 shows that the material surface has a small number of pores that are sparsely distributed, some pores are not interconnected, the microstructure continuity is low, and a small number of microcracks exist on the surface. With increasing polymer content, the SEM images of Examples 1-5 show a gradual increase in the number of pores, a gradual increase in pore size, a more uniform distribution, and enhanced interconnectivity. The pore structure of Example 1 is slightly increased; the number and size of pores in Examples 2-3 further increase, forming a continuous pore network; the pores in Examples 4-5 further increase in size and are uniformly distributed, with a smooth surface and stable structure.
