This invention discloses a functionally grafted ultrathin
nanocellulose membrane, its preparation method, and its applications. The preparation method includes: uniformly dispersing
cellulose nanofibers or
oxidized cellulose nanofibers in water to obtain a
cellulose aqueous suspension; uniformly dispersing or dissolving functional molecules in the
cellulose aqueous suspension to obtain a mixture; subjecting the mixture to a chemical
grafting reaction under heating, hydrothermal, or
room temperature conditions to obtain a dispersion of surface-functionalized cellulose nanofibers; forming a wet film on a corresponding film-forming substrate using a film-forming process;
drying at
room temperature; and then peeling off the substrate. This invention utilizes the multiple synergistic effects of the grafted molecules to effectively regulate
zinc ion transport, homogenize the deposition interface, and suppress side reactions, thereby significantly inhibiting
zinc dendrite growth and improving the cycle life and safety of aqueous
zinc-based
energy storage systems. This method is simple, operates under mild conditions, and has good prospects for large-scale application.
