Description

Mesocarbon microbeads, preparation method thereof, spherical porous activated carbon material and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of carbon material preparation, in particular to mesocarbon microbeads, a preparation method, a spherical porous activated carbon material and application thereof.
Background
Super capacitor has become an energy storage device which is concerned about and widely applied in recent years due to its advantages of short charging and discharging time, long cycle life, high power density, etc. Supercapacitors store electrical energy by forming an electric double layer at the electrode/electrolyte interface of a porous electrode material, the performance of which depends on the physical and chemical properties of the electrode material. The porous carbon material is the most common and promising super capacitor electrode material due to the advantages of higher specific surface area, excellent conductivity and cycling stability, relatively low price, environmental friendliness and the like. The petroleum asphalt contains a large amount of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, and is a carbon source with high carbon content, low price and rich sources for preparing electrode materials. The petroleum asphalt can be treated to obtain mesophase asphalt, and mesophase carbon microspheres are separated from the mesophase asphalt and are good precursors for preparing porous carbon materials. The problem that the intermediate phase carbon microspheres prepared from petroleum asphalt have wider particle size distribution, poor sphericity, lower yield and the like exists, so that the development of a preparation method for obtaining the intermediate phase carbon microspheres with higher yield, narrow particle size distribution and better sphericity is particularly critical for further preparing high-performance porous spherical carbon materials. Therefore, scholars at home and abroad carry out a great deal of research and put forward a plurality of improvement methods.
The research shows that the particle size distribution of the mesocarbon microbeads is relatively uniform when the carbon black and the graphite are used as the nucleating agents, part of small particles exist in the mesocarbon microbeads by using the petroleum coke and the needle coke as the nucleating agents, and the mesocarbon microbeads prepared by the four nucleating agents have good electrochemical performance. Lin Qi-lang and the like of Fuzhou university use rosin as a nucleating agent to be added into coal tar pitch to prepare the mesophase carbon microsphere with controllable particle size and uniform particle size distribution, so that the yield of the mesophase carbon microsphere is remarkably improved, and the aromatic index of a pitch-rosin mixture is reduced. Lin Xiong-chao of the university of mining in China and the like take coal tar pitch as a raw material and biomass tar pitch as a nucleating agent to prepare the mesocarbon microbeads through a thermal polycondensation method. Manuel et al have now prepared ethylene tar into mesophase pitch by thermal polycondensation, and then activated with KOH to prepare high-performance activated carbon material, and the results show that the more mesophases in pitch after thermal polycondensation, the larger the pore volume and micropore volume of the prepared activated carbon. The Liguanke and the like treat ethylene tar by using coal tar pitch as a modifier and prepare wide-melting-domain parallel anisotropic mesophase pitch by a co-carbonization method, and the result shows that the mesophase pitch prepared from the modified ethylene tar has high order degree, good rheological property and high beta resin content, and is high-quality mesophase pitch. Chinese patent CN1116386C discloses a copolycondensation preparation method of mesophase carbon microspheres, which takes standard medium temperature coal tar pitch and secondary petroleum heavy oil with lower quinoline insoluble content as raw materials, and obtains a pitch product containing the mesophase carbon microspheres through a thermal polycondensation reaction. The carbon microsphere obtained by the method has uniform particle size, but the yield is not high. Chinese patent CN 109970038B discloses a method for producing mesocarbon microbeads by using medium-low temperature coal tar as a raw material, and the method obtains fractions with high aromatic content and a proper amount of quinoline insoluble substances by pretreatment means such as atmospheric and vacuum cutting, compounding and hydrotreating. The method has the advantages of high yield, uniform sphere diameter distribution and complex flow.
At present, mesophase carbon microspheres produced by a thermal polycondensation method often have the problems of sphere fusion, large particle size and the like while having high yield, and the development of a method which can ensure high yield and can also adjust the particle size and distribution of the carbon microspheres is very important for producing high-performance spherical porous carbon materials.
In view of this, the invention is particularly proposed.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. The examples, in which specific conditions are not specified, were conducted under conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer. The reagents or instruments used are not indicated by the manufacturer, and are all conventional products available commercially.
The invention aims to overcome the defects of the prior art and provides mesocarbon microbeads, a preparation method, a spherical porous activated carbon material and application thereof.
The embodiment of the invention provides a method for producing activated carbon for a spherical supercapacitor by using asphalt. Asphalt is used as a raw material, oxidized petroleum coke powder is used as a nucleating agent, ethylene tar is used as a viscosity regulator, and a thermal polycondensation method is adopted to prepare the mesocarbon microbeads. By controlling the thermal polycondensation reaction conditions, such as reaction temperature, reaction time, and the addition amount of oxidized petroleum coke powder and ethylene tar, the properties of the mesophase carbon microsphere, such as particle size distribution, yield and the like, are controlled, and the mesophase carbon microsphere with small sphere diameter, smooth surface and narrow particle size distribution is further obtained by optimizing the reaction conditions and is used as a precursor for preparing the carbon material for the high-performance spherical supercapacitor. And carrying out thermal cracking treatment on the mixture of the prepared mesocarbon microbeads and the alkali reagent at high temperature, and etching by using alkali to form a pore channel structure with multi-stage pore diameter distribution to prepare the high-performance porous spherical carbon material. The preparation method can effectively control the particle size and the particle size distribution of the spherical carbon material, effectively improve the energy density of the energy storage material, and the preparation condition is easy to control and the continuous production is easy to realize.
In order to achieve the above object of the present invention, the following technical solutions are adopted:
in a first aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for preparing mesocarbon microbeads, including the following steps: heating the mixture of oxidized petroleum coke powder, ethylene tar and asphalt to perform thermal polycondensation reaction to obtain an asphalt product containing mesophase carbon microspheres.
The invention provides a method for producing activated carbon for spherical super capacitors by using asphalt, which is technically characterized by comprising the following steps of: and pre-oxidizing the nano petroleum coke powder by using an oxidizing agent to obtain oxidized petroleum coke powder. Adding oxidized petroleum coke powder, ethylene tar and raw material asphalt into a high-pressure reaction kettle, wherein the oxidized petroleum coke is used as a nucleating agent, the ethylene tar is used as a viscosity regulator, and carrying out thermal polycondensation under the atmosphere of inert gas to obtain an asphalt product containing mesophase carbon microspheres.
The petroleum coke powder with oxidized surface has higher surface activity and stronger polarity, and is easy to adsorb polar short side chain aromatic hydrocarbon in raw material asphalt, and in the heat treatment process, aromatic hydrocarbon small molecular free radicals adsorbed on the surface of the petroleum coke are combined with aromatic hydrocarbon small molecular free radicals in an asphalt phase and gradually condensed into macromolecules to form the core of the mesophase carbon microsphere. Along with the reaction, micromolecules in the raw materials are condensed into macromolecules to form an intermediate phase construction unit, and the intermediate phase construction unit is continuously accumulated on the core, so that the intermediate phase carbon microsphere is formed. The oxidized petroleum coke as the nucleating agent increases the opportunity of the raw material for polycondensation into balls, thereby increasing the yield of the mesophase carbon microspheres. The ethylene tar mainly contains dicyclic and tricyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules, the aromatic hydrocarbon molecules have more aliphatic side chains, and compared with asphalt, the ethylene tar has better melt flowability, can be used as a viscosity regulator to improve the flowability of a reaction system, further adjust the polycondensation reactivity, and the mesophase carbon microspheres generated by the reaction are more uniform; in addition, compared with asphalt, the ethylene tar has lower quinoline insoluble content, and the quinoline insoluble content in the raw materials can be adjusted, so that the particle size of the mesocarbon microbeads is adjusted; finally, the ethylene tar has more saturated component content compared with the asphalt, small molecules formed in the cracking process of the saturated components can be dissolved in the system, the viscosity of the reaction system is reduced, and formed hydrogen free radicals can effectively inhibit excessive condensation of macromolecules.
In an alternative embodiment, the oxidized petroleum coke powder is made by the steps of: mixing nano petroleum coke powder with an oxidant, heating for pre-oxidation reaction to obtain oxidized petroleum coke powder;
preferably, the oxidizing agent for pre-oxidizing the petroleum coke may be any one of perchloric acid, hydrogen peroxide, sulfuric acid and nitric acid, preferably hydrogen peroxide; the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide solution is 10-40%, preferably 20-30%; the mass ratio of the petroleum coke to the oxidant is 1 (1-10), preferably 1 (2-5); the grain size of the petroleum coke is 200-500 nm.
In an alternative embodiment, the reaction device of the thermal polycondensation reaction is an autoclave, and the conditions of the thermal polycondensation reaction are as follows: the reaction temperature is 350-450 ℃, and preferably 380-420 ℃; the reaction pressure is 0.5-5MPa, preferably 1.0 MPa; the reaction time is 0.5-10h, preferably 1-7 h. Incidentally, when the reaction temperature is lowered, the yield of the mesophase carbon microbeads tends to be lowered. In contrast, when the reaction temperature is increased, the yield of the mesophase carbon microbeads tends to increase. It is worth mentioning that a large amount of gas is generated in the thermal polycondensation reaction process, the generated micromolecule gas can be inhibited in the reaction system by keeping a certain pressure, the fluidity of the system is enhanced, the fusion of macromolecular components is facilitated, uniform mesophase spheres are formed, and the yield of the mesophase carbon microspheres is improved. But excessive pressure is more demanding on the equipment. In addition, when the reaction time is reduced, the small spheres in the pitch mother liquor are not fused, the yield of the mesophase carbon microspheres tends to be reduced, and the particle size tends to be reduced. On the contrary, when the reaction time is prolonged, the pellets in the pitch mother liquor are fused many times, the yield of the mesophase carbon microspheres tends to be improved, and the particle size tends to be increased.
In an alternative embodiment, the amount of ethylene tar added to the feedstock is in the range of 1 wt% to 50 wt%, preferably 5 wt% to 20 wt%, based on the total mass of the oxidized petroleum coke powder, ethylene tar and pitch; the addition amount of the oxidized petroleum coke powder is 1 wt% -30 wt%, preferably 3 wt% -15 wt%. Incidentally, when the amount of ethylene tar added is decreased and the amount of oxidized petroleum coke powder added is increased, the yield of mesophase carbon microbeads tends to increase, while the particle size distribution tends to be broadened, with the particle size being larger. On the contrary, when the amount of ethylene tar added is increased and the amount of oxidized petroleum coke powder added is decreased, the yield of mesophase carbon microspheres tends to decrease, and the particle size distribution tends to become narrower and smaller. Therefore, the yield and the particle size distribution of the mesophase carbon microspheres can be regulated and controlled by controlling the addition amount of the ethylene tar and the oxidized petroleum coke. If the amount of ethylene tar is too low, the reaction system becomes viscous, which is not favorable for producing uniform mesophase carbon microspheres. When the amount is too high, the yield of the mesophase carbon microbeads is too low. The yield of the mesophase carbon microbeads is lowered by adding too little amount of the oxidized petroleum coke, and the particle size of the mesophase carbon microbeads becomes too large by adding too much amount.
In an alternative embodiment, the solvent for separating the mesophase carbon microbeads may be any one of toluene, pyridine, tetrahydrofuran, or the like, and the alkali agent may be any one of potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, or the like;
more preferably, the pitch product containing the mesophase carbon microspheres is continuously extracted by a Soxhlet extraction method until the pitch product is colorless, and the mesophase carbon microspheres are obtained after the solvent is removed and dried.
In a second aspect, the embodiment of the present invention further provides mesocarbon microbeads prepared by the above preparation method.
In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for preparing a spherical porous activated carbon material, including the following steps: and mixing the prepared mesocarbon microbeads with an alkali reagent, carbonizing to obtain a crude product, and washing and drying the crude product to obtain the mesocarbon microbeads.
In an optional embodiment, after the mesocarbon microbeads are mixed with the alkali reagent, the mixture is carbonized for 1 to 3 hours at the temperature of 650-900 ℃ in an inert atmosphere;
preferably, the alkaline agent comprises at least one of potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide;
preferably, the crude product obtained by carbonization is washed by acid for 6-12h at the temperature of normal temperature to 80 ℃, and then extracted, washed by water to be neutral and dried to obtain the spherical porous activated carbon material.
In a fourth aspect, the embodiment of the invention also provides a spherical porous activated carbon material prepared by the preparation method.
In a fifth aspect, the embodiment of the invention also provides an application of the spherical porous activated carbon material in a supercapacitor material.
In the embodiment of the invention, the obtained mesocarbon microbeads and a certain amount of alkali reagent are milled to be fully mixed, the mesocarbon microbeads are fully etched by the alkali reagent at high temperature to generate a large number of pore channels to form a complex structure with macroporous, mesoporous and microporous multi-level pore size distribution, and the insertion of the generated alkali metal steam in the carbon layer increases the lattice spacing of the carbon layer, improves the specific surface area and pore volume of the carbon material, thereby improving the electrochemical performance of the carbon material and enabling the carbon material to be applied to a super capacitor.
The features and properties of the present invention are described in further detail below with reference to examples.
In the following examples of the present invention, the raw material sources, components, preparation and experimental methods were the same as those of the comparative examples.

As can be seen from table 2 above, the mesophase carbon microbeads prepared by the schemes of examples 1 to 7 of the present invention show the characteristics of smaller spherical diameter, narrower particle size distribution and high specific capacity in terms of the yield, particle size and specific capacity of the mesophase carbon microbeads of 3 aspects, while the corresponding values of the yield, particle size and specific capacity of the mesophase carbon microbeads of comparative examples 1 to 3 do not show the significant characteristics as those of examples 1 to 7 of the present invention. In comparative example 1, the yield of the mesophase carbon microspheres is low, the particle size distribution is wide, and the electrochemical performance is poor under the condition that no ethylene tar or oxidized petroleum coke is added. In the comparative example 2, the oxidized petroleum coke is used as a nucleating agent, so that the opportunity of polycondensation and balling of raw materials is increased, and the yield of the mesophase carbon microspheres is obviously improved. In comparative example 3, the mobility of the reaction system is improved by a large amount of small molecules generated by the saturated fission in the ethylene tar, and the generated hydrogen free radicals effectively inhibit the excessive condensation of the large molecules, so that the average particle size of the mesocarbon microbeads is reduced, and the specific capacity of the prepared porous spherical carbon material is improved. In comparative example 4, the reaction system is at normal pressure, and more micromolecular gas escapes, so that the viscosity of the system is increased, the polymerization of macromolecular components is not facilitated, and the yield of the mesocarbon microbeads is reduced.
