Description

A nitrogen-doped cellulose-based carbon nanocarrier material, its preparation method and application Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of nanomaterial energy storage technology, and particularly relates to a nitrogen-doped cellulose-based carbon nanocarrier material, its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] Since the first reported synthesis of carbon aerogels in the 1980s, they have been widely used as nanoporous support materials in fields such as nanocatalysts, electrochemical applications, and hydrogen storage materials due to their numerous advantages, including high specific surface area, high porosity, strong corrosion resistance, a stable continuous network structure, and small pore size. Currently, the most common carbon aerogels are organic carbon aerogels, such as resorcinol-formaldehyde aerogel, melamine-formaldehyde aerogel, phenol-furfural aerogel, and polycyanate series aerogels. However, the high cost of raw materials, complex preparation processes, and long production cycles for synthesizing these organic carbon aerogels have hindered their large-scale production and application in the market.

[0003] Under this premise, more and more scholars are using inexpensive and environmentally friendly biomass materials to replace these raw materials to prepare carbon aerogels, such as bacterial cellulose and plant cellulose. However, these biomass nanocellulose materials still have some shortcomings in the field of nanoporous carrier materials: (1) The mesopore volume of biomass nanocellulose carbon aerogel materials is small, and the loaded active substances cannot be effectively utilized; (2) The surface wettability of biomass nanocellulose carbon aerogel materials is poor, and the surface charge exchange capacity is weak, resulting in poor electrochemical performance and affecting the overall application of nanocarrier materials; (3) The surface polarity of biomass nanocellulose carbon aerogel materials is poor, the diffusion resistance of electrolyte ions in the pores is large, and the stability of recycling is poor.

[0004] Therefore, seeking a nitrogen-doped cellulose-based carbon nanomaterial is of great significance for realizing the efficient utilization of active substances on the carrier. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is that organic carbon aerogels are expensive, biomass aerogels have small loading capacity and poor charge exchange capacity. To overcome the shortcomings and defects mentioned in the background art, this invention provides a nitrogen-doped cellulose-based carbon nanocarrier material, its preparation method and application.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution proposed by this invention is as follows:

[0007] A method for preparing nitrogen-doped cellulose-based carbon nanomaterials includes the following steps:

[0008] (1) Pre-treat the nanocellulose sol to obtain a uniformly distributed nanocellulose solution;

[0009] (2) Freeze the nanocellulose solution obtained in step (1) and vacuum dry it to obtain nanocellulose aerogel;

[0010] (3) The nanocellulose aerogel obtained in step (2) is pre-carbonized in an inert atmosphere and cooled to obtain nanocellulose carbon aerogel.

[0011] (4) Place the nanocellulose carbon aerogel obtained in step (3) and urea powder in a reaction vessel and perform high-temperature vapor deposition under an inert atmosphere to obtain nitrogen-doped cellulose-based carbon nanocarrier material.

[0012] This application obtains a nanocellulose carbon aerogel carrier material by high-temperature thermal decomposition of nanocellulose aerogel. Then, urea and nanocellulose carbon aerogel are reacted under high-temperature, oxygen-free conditions, and nitrogen from the urea is doped into the carbon aerogel carrier material using vapor deposition. Urea is the first artificially synthesized inorganic substance containing abundant nitrogen, playing a crucial role in improving the performance of nanocarrier materials. Because nitrogen atoms and carbon atoms have similar structures, nitrogen can effectively replace some carbon atoms in the carbon structure at high temperatures (as shown in Figure 1). Furthermore, nitrogen atoms have stronger surface charge capacity and surface polarity than carbon atoms. Simultaneously, nitrogen can increase the wettability of the carbon material and reduce the diffusion resistance of electrolyte ions in the gaps of the carbon material. On the other hand, nanocellulose aerogel has a three-dimensional network structure, and nitrogen doping can significantly improve the specific surface area and pore volume of the three-dimensional network structure formed by nanocellulose.

[0013] In the high-temperature vapor deposition process, urea, after becoming a gas, comes into uniform contact with the nanocellulose aerogel, thereby achieving nitrogen doping. However, typically, urea particles adhere to the surface of the nanocellulose aerogel, resulting in accumulation and affecting the doping effect.

[0014] Therefore, the technical solution of this application can obtain a nanoporous support material with a three-dimensional network structure, good electrochemical performance, and excellent stability.

[0015] Preferably, in step (1), the nanocellulose sol is prepared by the following method:

[0016] Biomass cellulose powder is added to concentrated sulfuric acid with a mass fraction of 35%–65%, and stirred in a water bath at 35℃–45℃ for 1.5h–3.5h to hydrolyze the cellulose powder. The cellulose solution is washed until the pH is 6.5–7, and finally, nanocellulose sol is obtained by high-pressure homogenization for 10–25 cycles.

[0017] Biomass nanocellulose typically has a diameter of around 10 μm. Compared to other types of nanocellulose, the nanocarrier materials formed by it have stronger mechanical strength and a simple preparation mechanism. Biomass nanocellulose is a natural polymer material that is inexhaustible, highly renewable, degradable, and pollution-free.

[0018] This invention uses acid hydrolysis and mechanical treatment to prepare biomass nanocellulose. The method is simple, convenient and highly controllable. The concentration of concentrated sulfuric acid used in this application is relatively low, resulting in a large aspect ratio and low crystallinity of the prepared cellulose. In this application, the cellulose sol treated with concentrated sulfuric acid is homogenized under high pressure and ultrasonically crushed to obtain wood nanocellulose, which is more uniformly dispersed and less prone to agglomeration.

[0019] Preferably, the mass solid-liquid ratio of the biomass cellulose powder and concentrated sulfuric acid is 1:10 to 1:20.

[0020] Preferably, in step (1), the pretreatment specifically includes: ultrasonically breaking down the nanocellulose sol in an ultrasonic pulverizer for 1 min to 5 min. If the ultrasonic breaking time is too short, the nanofibers in the solution cannot be uniformly dispersed; if the ultrasonic breaking time is too long, the nanocellulose structure in the solution may be destroyed, thus affecting the stability of the carbon aerogel network structure.

[0021] Preferably, in step (2), the freezing temperature is -50℃ to -70℃, and the freezing time is 6h to 12h; the vacuum drying includes two stages: low-temperature vacuum drying and room-temperature vacuum drying. The low-temperature vacuum drying temperature is -50℃ to -70℃, and the time is 6h to 12h, while the room-temperature vacuum drying time is 6h to 12h. If the temperature is too low, the drying time will be too long, wasting resources; if the temperature is too high, the structure of the nanocellulose aerogel will collapse during the drying process, affecting the specific surface area and pore size / volume.

[0022] Preferably, in step (3), the pre-carbonization treatment temperature is 700℃~900℃, and the time is 60min~120min. Pre-carbonization carbonizes nanocellulose into carbon materials. If the pre-carbonization temperature is too low, the degree of carbonization of nanocellulose is insufficient, affecting the overall performance of the carrier material; if the temperature is too high, the nanocellulose carbon aerogel will graphitize, and the network structure is prone to collapse. The pre-carbonization treatment is to ensure that the urea and carbon aerogel react fully in the subsequent high-temperature vapor deposition treatment. Urea reacts more easily with the surface of carbon at high temperatures. Without the pre-carbonization treatment, urea cannot fully contact the nanocellulose aerogel, resulting in poor nitrogen doping effect.

[0023] Preferably, in step (4), the mass of the nanocellulose carbon aerogel is 1g to 2g, the mass of the urea powder is 1g to 5g, and the urea powder is placed at the bottom layer of the nanocellulose aerogel. Placing the urea at the bottom layer of the nanocellulose aerogel is more conducive to the contact between the urea volatilized during the heating process and the nanocellulose aerogel, resulting in better doping.

[0024] Within this quality range, nitrogen from urea can be well incorporated into carbon aerogel materials, resulting in a carrier material with excellent stability and good loading capacity. If the urea quality is too low, there will be too little nitrogen incorporated into the carbon aerogel, failing to improve the overall performance of the carrier material; if the urea quality is too high, the nitrogen incorporated into the carbon aerogel will reach saturation, leading to resource waste.

[0025] Preferably, the high-temperature vapor deposition temperature in step (4) is 800-1000℃; the high-temperature vapor deposition time is 2-4h.

[0026] Under the same technical concept, this application also provides a nitrogen-doped cellulose-based carbon nanocarrier material, which is prepared by the above-described preparation method. The nitrogen-doped cellulose-based carbon nanocarrier material exhibits a porous three-dimensional network structure with a density of 22-26 mg / m³. 2 Specific surface area is 800-850 m² 2 / g, pore volume is 0.45-0.55cm³ 3 / g, with a pore size of 1nm to 100nm.

[0027] The method for preparing nitrogen-doped cellulose-based carbon nanomaterials according to the present invention yields a three-dimensional network structure carrier material with high porosity, high porosity, and excellent stability. In this three-dimensional network structure carrier material, mesopores constitute the majority of the porous structure, allowing the active material to adhere better and in greater quantities to the mesopores compared to micropores and macropores.

[0028] Under the same technical concept, this application also provides an application of nitrogen-doped cellulose-based carbon nanomaterials as carriers, which are used in electric double-layer supercapacitors. The electric double-layer supercapacitors assembled with the nitrogen-doped cellulose-based carbon nanomaterials have a specific capacitance of 230-280 F / g at a current density of 1 A / g, and retain 93-96% of the initial specific capacitance after 10,000 charge-discharge cycles.

[0029] The materials in this application can be used in the fields of energy storage materials or catalysts. As a nanocarrier material, nitrogen-doped cellulose-based carbon nanocarrier material itself has good electrochemical performance. Therefore, after the material is ground, slurry prepared, electrode coated, and capacitor assembled, a supercapacitor can be obtained.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0031] (1) The carbon nanocarrier material selected in this invention is nanocellulose, which has strong mechanical strength, is widely available, and has low cost, and is in line with the green and sustainable development strategy.

[0032] (2) The nitrogen-doped cellulose-based carbon nanocarrier material prepared by the present invention has good surface wettability and can fully contact the electrolyte, thereby reducing the diffusion resistance of electrolyte ions in the carbon aerogel carrier material, which effectively improves the surface polarity and surface charge exchange capacity of the nanocarrier material, and has excellent conductivity and stability.

[0033] (3) The preparation scheme of the present invention first processes biomass nanocellulose, and then completes nitrogen doping at the same time by preparing nanocellulose-based carbon nanocarrier material through steps such as aerogel preparation, pre-carbonization, and high-temperature vapor deposition. The method is simple and convenient to operate and has strong controllability. It increases the wettability of carbon material, reduces the diffusion resistance of electrolyte ions in the gaps of carbon material, and significantly improves the specific surface area and pore volume of the three-dimensional network structure formed by nanocellulose. The preparation scheme has low energy consumption and good effect. Attached Figure Description
