Abstract
Description
A screening carbon and its preparation method and application Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electrode materials, and in particular to screening carbon and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Amorphous carbon materials are the most commercially promising battery negative electrode materials due to their low cost, low operating potential and excellent cycle stability. However, amorphous carbon materials currently face the problem of low first coulombic efficiency, which seriously hinders their commercialization process.
[0003] The electrochemical properties of amorphous carbon materials are closely related to their microstructure, especially the pore structure of carbon materials, which directly affects their first coulombic efficiency. The Chinese patent application "High-energy and high-power carbon materials and preparation methods and sodium-ion batteries" with publication number CN116553547A discloses a high-energy and high-power carbon material with a pore diameter of 0.1-0.4nm. However, the pore diameter of 0.4nm is still too large, which is not conducive to the first coulombic efficiency, and the pore size needs to be further controlled.
[0004] The present invention discloses a screening carbon, a preparation method and an application thereof. The pore size of the screening carbon can be adjusted twice to be lower than 0.33 nm, and there is no pore size between 0.33 nm and 0.4 nm. The first coulombic efficiency of the screening carbon is significantly improved.
[0005] Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a screening type carbon to solve the problem of excessively large pore size of carbon materials in the prior art.
[0007] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing the screening carbon.
[0008] Another object of the present invention is to provide application of the sieve-type carbon in battery electrodes.
[0009] The technical solution adopted to achieve the purpose of the present invention is:
[0010] A screening carbon, wherein the pore opening and the periphery of the pore opening are deposited with primary deposited carbon, the surface of the primary deposited carbon is deposited with secondary deposited carbon at the position of the pore opening, the two deposited carbons do not enter the pore belly, the pore opening diameter after the two depositions is less than 0.33nm, and the specific surface area of the screening carbon after CO2 adsorption and desorption test is 0-10m 2 / g.
[0011] In the above technical solution, the pore diameter of the screening carbon is 0.5-10nm.
[0012] Another aspect of the present invention is a method for preparing screening carbon, comprising the following steps:
[0013] Step 1: First chemical vapor deposition to quickly reduce the pore size: Place the porous carbon in a chemical vapor deposition device, introduce a predetermined flow of protective gas, raise the temperature to 1100-1300°C, then introduce a predetermined flow of the first carbon source gas, and perform the first heat preservation;
[0014] Step 2, second chemical vapor deposition to refine the orifice to a diameter of less than 0.33 nm: After the first heat preservation, the first carbon source gas is cut off, the temperature is lowered to 600-800°C, and the second carbon source gas at a predetermined flow rate is introduced, and the second heat preservation is performed;
[0015] Step 3: Turn off the second carbon source gas and cool the temperature to room temperature at a predetermined cooling rate to obtain the screening carbon.
[0016] As shown in Figure 17, the temperature of the first chemical vapor deposition (rapidly shrinking the orifice) is 1100-1300°C. At this temperature, the carbon source gas is rapidly cracked and deposited, sacrificing the selectivity of the carbon source gas deposition at the orifice (partial deposition occurs outside the pore), and the orifice is quickly reduced. The orifice is a defect site, and the rapidly cracked carbon source gas is mainly deposited at the orifice position, with a small amount of deposition outside the pore. If the temperature is lower than 1100°C, the purpose of rapidly reducing the orifice cannot be achieved, and the orifice reduction rate is slow, causing the deposited carbon to enter the pore; if the temperature is higher than 1300°C, the deposition rate is too fast, and the orifice may be sealed instantly, resulting in excessive ineffective carbon deposits.
[0017] The second chemical vapor deposition (refining the pore to a diameter of less than 0.33nm) is performed at a temperature of 600-800°C. At this temperature, the carbon source gas decomposes slowly, selectively depositing at the pore mouth and preventing deposition outside the pore, further refining the pore size to less than 0.33nm. If the temperature is higher than 800°C, the refinement goal cannot be achieved, resulting in excessive carbon deposition outside the pore. If the temperature is lower than 600°C, the carbon source gas cannot decompose and deposit.
[0018] In the above technical solution, the porous carbon in step 1 is walnut shell-based porous carbon, bamboo-based activated carbon, coconut shell-based porous carbon, peanut shell-based porous carbon, petroleum coke-based porous carbon, needle coke-based porous carbon or activated carbon fiber.
[0019] In the above technical solution, the first carbon source gas in step 1 is methane, benzene vapor, toluene vapor, xylene vapor, ethane, propane or acetylene;
[0020] The second carbon source gas in step 2 is methane, benzene vapor, toluene vapor, xylene vapor, ethane, propane or acetylene; preferably, the first carbon source gas is the same as the second carbon source gas.
[0021] In the above technical solution, the flow rate of the first carbon source gas in step 1 is 10-500 ml / min. If the flow rate of the carbon source gas is too small, the orifice size left during the first chemical vapor deposition will be larger, which will cause a large amount of deposited carbon to enter the pore during the second step of fine-tuning the orifice; if the flow rate of the carbon source gas is too large, the pore will be excessively blocked, and a large amount of invalid deposited carbon will be generated at the orifice, resulting in too low an initial coulombic efficiency during sodium storage.
[0022] In the above technical solution, the first insulation time in step 1 is 0-30 minutes and is not 0; the purpose of the first chemical vapor deposition is to quickly reduce the pore opening to prevent the deposited carbon from entering the pore. If the insulation time is too long, it will cause excessive deposition and affect the first coulombic efficiency of sodium storage.
[0023] In the above technical solution, after completing step 1, the size of the orifice can be adjusted to the point where N2 cannot enter but CO2 can enter most of the orifices, that is, the specific surface area of the N2 adsorption and desorption test is 0-100m 2 / g, the specific surface area of CO2 adsorption and desorption test is 100-2000m 2 / g, and the diameter of most pores is 0.33-0.364 nm.
[0024] In the above technical solution, the flow rate of the second carbon source gas in step 2 is ≥10 ml / min. If the flow rate of the carbon source gas is too small, it will take a long time to fine-tune the orifice.
[0025] In the above technical solution, the second holding time in step 2 is ≥3h. Since the deposition temperature is controlled within a relatively low range in the second stage of deposition, deposition occurs selectively only at the pore opening. After the pore opening is refined, deposition will not occur. If the deposition time is less than 3h, the pore opening cannot be refined, resulting in a lower initial coulombic efficiency and a lower sodium storage capacity. Step 2 is controlled at a relatively low reaction temperature. The carbon source gas cracking and deposition must occur at locations with low energy barriers. For porous carbon, the sites with low energy barriers are defect-rich pore openings. When the pore openings are fully occupied by deposited carbon, there are no sites for carbon source gas cracking and deposition, so no deposition will occur even if the time is extended.
[0026] In the above technical solution, after the orifice is refined in step 2, the orifice size of all the holes is closed to the point where CO2 cannot enter, that is, the specific surface area of the CO2 adsorption and desorption test is 0-10m 2 / g, at this time the pore diameters of all pores are less than 0.33nm.
[0027] In the above technical solution, the pore size of the sieve-type carbon obtained in step 3 is consistent with the pore size of the porous carbon in step 1.
[0028] In the above technical solution, the cooling rate in step 3 is 5-20°C / min.
[0029] Another aspect of the present invention also includes the use of the sieve-type carbon in a battery negative electrode.
[0030] In the above technical solution, the sodium storage capacity of the battery negative electrode is 350-600 mAh / g, and the first coulombic efficiency is 91-95%.
[0031] Another aspect of the present invention also includes a negative electrode based on sieved carbon, which includes a negative electrode active material, a conductive agent and a binder, wherein the negative electrode active material is the sieved carbon; the conductive agent is SUPER-P, KS-6, conductive graphite, carbon nanotubes, graphene, carbon fiber VGCF, acetylene black or Ketjen black; and the binder is PVDF, CMC, SBR, PTFE, SA, PAA or PAN.
[0032] Another aspect of the present invention also includes a battery comprising a positive electrode, the negative electrode based on sieve-type carbon, and an electrolyte;
[0033] The active material of the positive electrode is a transition metal layered oxide, a sodium polyanion compound, Prussian blue or Prussian white.
[0034] The electrolyte includes an organic solvent and a sodium salt, wherein the organic solvent includes EC, PC, DMC, DEC, EMC, EA, FEC or VC; and the sodium salt includes NaClO4, NaPF6, NaBF4, NaFSI or NaTFSI.
[0035] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0036] 1. The present invention utilizes two chemical vapor depositions with stepped temperatures to prepare screening carbon. In step 1, the first chemical vapor deposition rapidly blocks the pores at high temperatures (1100-1300°C) to prevent deposited carbon from entering the pore belly, and rapidly shrinks the pore opening to a smaller size at a relatively fast rate. The rapid shrinkage of the pore opening actually sacrifices the selectivity of the deposition reaction at the pore opening, while enhancing the efficiency of the pore blocking. At this time, deposited carbon will appear around the pore opening. In step 2, the second chemical vapor deposition refines the pore opening at low temperatures (600-800°C) to a diameter of less than 0.33 nm. Since the pore opening has reached a smaller range after completing step 1, the second chemical vapor deposition carbon can be inhibited from entering the pore. Moreover, the deposition at low temperatures in step 2 is selective deposition that occurs only at the pore opening, and no further deposited carbon will be generated outside the pore.
[0037] 2. The present invention uses two chemical vapor depositions to adjust the pore diameter to less than 0.33 nm while maintaining the original pore size (during the two-step deposition process, the deposited carbon will not enter the interior of the pore), effectively improving the first coulombic efficiency of the carbon material, which is conducive to the commercial application of screening carbon materials.

[0055] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0056] Example 1
[0057] A method for preparing screening carbon comprises the following steps:
[0058] Step 1: First chemical vapor deposition to quickly reduce the pore size: Place porous carbon with rich pore structure into a tube furnace. The porous carbon is activated carbon fiber, and the small angle scattering test specific surface area is 1420m 2 / g, the specific surface area of nitrogen adsorption and desorption test is 1380m 2 / g, the porous carbon has a large specific surface area, indicating that it has a rich number of pores and a large internal space, so it is a large pore belly raw material, and then a protective gas argon gas with a flow rate of 90 ml / min is introduced, and the temperature is increased to a final temperature of 1200°C at a heating rate of 10°C / min. Under the final temperature condition of 1200°C, methane gas with a flow rate of 30 ml / min is introduced, and the reaction is continued for 25 minutes to quickly reduce the pore opening; step 2, the second chemical vapor deposition is used to refine the pore opening to a diameter of less than 0.33 nm: the methane gas is cut off, the temperature is lowered to 700°C, and methane gas with a flow rate of 10 ml / min is introduced, and the reaction is continued for 300 minutes, and the pore opening is further refined to a diameter of less than 0.33 nm;
[0059] Step 3, turning off the carbon source gas and cooling the temperature to room temperature at a cooling rate of 10°C / min to obtain the screening carbon.
[0060] As shown in Figure 1, the specific surface area of the porous carbon in step 1 was measured by small-angle X-ray scattering to be 1420 m 2 / g, the specific surface area of the sieved carbon obtained in step 3 was measured by small-angle X-ray scattering to be 1415m 2 / g, indicating that the deposited carbon in the two chemical vapor deposition phases did not enter the pore belly, achieving the effect of selectively adjusting the pore opening.
[0061] As shown in Figure 2, the specific surface area of the porous carbon measured by nitrogen adsorption and desorption in step 1 is 1380 m 2 / g, after the first chemical vapor deposition in step 1, the specific surface area is reduced to 30m 2 / g, after the second chemical vapor deposition in step 2, the specific surface area is reduced to 5m 2 / g, indicating that after the first chemical vapor deposition, the pore diameters of most pores are smaller than 0.364 nm (the molecular dynamics diameter of N2), and after the second chemical vapor deposition, the pore diameters of all pores are smaller than 0.364 nm.
[0062] As shown in Figure 3, the specific surface area of the porous carbon measured by carbon dioxide adsorption and desorption in step 1 is 1358m 2 / g, after the first chemical vapor deposition, the specific surface area dropped to 600m 2 / g, after the second chemical vapor deposition, the specific surface area dropped to 6m 2 / g, indicating that after the rapid reduction of the pore size in step 1, the pore diameters of most pores are still larger than 0.330nm (the molecular dynamics diameter of CO2). After the fine pore size in step 2, the pore diameters of all pores are less than 0.330nm.
[0063] During the first chemical vapor deposition, the rapidly cracked carbon source gas is mainly deposited at the pore mouth, with a small amount of deposition outside the pore. As shown in Figure 4, the porous carbon surface does not change much before and after the first chemical vapor deposition, indicating that there is not much carbon deposition outside the pore.
[0064] During the second chemical vapor deposition, the carbon source gas cracking rate is slow, and it is selectively deposited at the pore mouth, and no deposition occurs outside the pore. As shown in Figure 5, when the weight of the deposited carbon in the secondary deposition reaches the point where the pore mouth is blocked to less than 0.33nm, the weight gain will not increase no matter how long the reaction time is extended, indicating that the deposition reaction can only occur at the pore mouth.
[0065] As shown in Figure 6, before and after the two chemical vapor deposition processes, the internal structure of the pores did not change, and the deposited carbon did not enter the pores, indicating a selective effect.
[0066] The negative electrode of the battery is prepared by using the screening method as follows:
[0067] The sieved carbon was used as the negative electrode active material, and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) was used as a binder. The mixture was evenly mixed with the conductive agent acetylene black in a mass ratio of 90:5:5 in NMP (N-methylpyrrolidone) solvent, coated into an electrode film, and dried in a vacuum drying oven at 120°C for 12 hours. The sieved carbon negative electrode sheet was obtained by rolling and punching. A metal sodium sheet was used as the counter electrode, and 1 mol / L NaPF6 (EC:DEC=1:1) was used as the electrolyte. The sieved carbon negative electrode sheets obtained above were assembled into 2032 button batteries in a glove box to test their electrochemical properties.
[0068] As shown in FIG7 , it can be seen that the sodium ion battery negative electrode prepared in this embodiment has a first coulombic efficiency of up to 93%, a reversible specific capacity of up to 354 mAh / g, and a low potential platform specific capacity of 280 mAh / g.
