The invention provides a preparation method and application of a
polyethylene-coated
carbon nanotube electrode material, and belongs to the technical field of plastic
processing, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: collecting waste
polyethylene products, chopping, cleaning to remove impurities, filtering, and
drying; the method comprises the following steps: adding waste
polyethylene fragments into a
xylene solution, magnetically stirring and mixing, adding into a Buchner funnel, carrying out suction
filtration, and collecting filtrate; weighing a carbon
nano tube, adding the carbon
nano tube into the filtrate, and continuously heating and mixing to prepare a
colloidal solution; dropwise adding the
colloidal solution into a
cyclohexanone solution, carrying out ultrasonic mixing, separating out
powder precipitate, filtering, washing with an
ethanol solution, and
drying to obtain composite
powder; the composite
powder and
activated carbon are mixed and placed in a
ball mill to be ground,
electrode powder is prepared, the
electrode powder is poured into a round mold, round electrode particles are prepared through pressing under a hydraulic
machine, and the round electrode particles are annealed to prepare the polyethylene-coated
carbon nanotube electrode. According to the invention, high value-added utilization of polyethylene and greenness and harmlessness of the final product waste can be realized.
