Description
Technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to, in particular, a preparation process of a nanostructured titanic acid salt, which pertains to a technical field of materials.Background
[0002] As a hotspot for research in the field of materials, titanic acid salts have been widely used in the fields of battery electrodes, piezoelectrics and the like. The application properties of titanic acid salt materials are closely related to their particle size. For example, a nanostructure can reduce the particle size of the material. When it is applied to the battery electrode, the distance and path for intercalating and deintercalating ions can be reduced, and the rapid charge and discharge performance of the battery can be improved. The nanostructure can also increase the specific surface area of the material, which can adsorb more conductive agent and increase the contact area with the electrolyte solution, thus reduce the current density, and further improve the rapid charge and discharge performance of the material. Therefore, the preparation and synthesis of titanic acid salt particles with nanometer scale will greatly improve the application effect of the titanic acid salt material.
[0003] Existing processs for producing titanic acid salts mainly include solid state synthesis and hydrothermal reaction preparation. Among them, the solid state synthesis process is generally carried out by ball-milling titanium oxide and carbonate or hydroxide, and annealing at a high temperature of more than 800 degrees Celsius. The titanic acid salt prepared by the process is generally on the micrometer scale, with a poor morphology and uniformity and a low purity, so that the optimal application effect of the titanic acid salt material cannot be obtained
[0004] The hydrothermal preparation of the nanostructured titanic acid salt is generally carried out by producing sodium titanate via a hydrothermal process from commercial titanium oxide and sodium hydroxide as a starting material, immersing sodium titanate in an acid solution to obtain titanic acid through an ion exchange process; then mixing titanic acid with a metal salt solution to obtain the titanic acid salt precursor, and subsequently annealing the product at different temperatures to give the titanic acid salt product. The hydrothermal process of the preparation involves high temperature and high pressure and is dangerous. Meanwhile, the reaction system has 10 mol / L of sodium hydroxide, which is very corrosive under a high hydrothermal temperature of more than 180°C and a high hydrothermal pressure of more than 10 atmospheric pressure. The reaction system is very demanding on hydrothermal reaction apparatus, which causes difficulty to find a suitable reaction apparatus, and thus the synthesis cost is expensive. In addition, the preparation process uses a corrosive alkali at a high concentration, which makes the subsequent sodium titanate product difficult to separate and purify, and also brings serious pollution to the environment. Thus, the hydrothermal preparation of nanostructured titanic acid salt still has difficulties in either the synthesis apparatus or the synthesis process and subsequent treatment, and cannot realize large-scale production.
[0005] US4755373 discloses titanates of barium, strontium, or mixed barium and strontium. The titanates are prepared by a process which comprises precipitating a peroxidic precursor having the same morphological characteristics of the titanates. The peroxidic precursor is obtained by heating an alkaline solution comprising a complex of a titanium compound with a peroxidic compound, an M 2+< compound, wherein M is Ba, Sr or mixtures thereof, and a compound Z capable of complexing with the M 2+< ion oxidizable by the peroxidic compound under the conditions of reaction to produce soluble decomposition products and provide a homogeneous precipitation of the peroxidic precursor comprising titanium and M 2+< . Subsequently the precursor is heated to a temperature of at least 100 degrees C to obtain the corresponding titanate.
[0006] Therefore, the development of a process for preparing nanostructured titanic acid salts with a simple process and easy large-scale production without high-temperature or high-pressure synthesis conditions, still has significant challenges.Summary of the present invention
