Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of carbon materials, in particular to a simple and ultra-fast method for preparing carbon aerogel.
Background
The carbon aerogel is a novel porous carbon material with a three-dimensional network structure and is obtained by carbonizing organic aerogel. Since the carbon gel was invented in the early 90 s of the 20 th century, with the continuous and deep research, people gradually realize that the carbon gel has excellent performances of adsorption, catalysis, electric conduction, heat insulation and the like, and has wide application potential in many fields of chemical industry, energy, electronics and the like. However, although carbon aerogel has been studied for decades, the preparation process is tedious, long-lasting and high-cost, so that the industrial production of carbon aerogel is not really realized at present. The relatively mature carbon aerogel is prepared by adopting resorcinol and formaldehyde as raw materials, and sequentially forming phenolic sol and hydrogel in aqueous solution through condensation and polymerization reaction between the resorcinol and the formaldehyde under the condition of a small amount of alkali catalysts such as sodium carbonate and the like; then the hydrogel is aged, dried and carbonized to prepare the carbon gel. The main challenges of the industrial production of carbon gel at present are derived from the following 2 aspects: (1) the sol, gel and sol aging process of resorcinol and formaldehyde solution needs to be continuously carried out for 3-4 days at the temperature of 60-90 ℃; (2) drying methods and times are cumbersome and costly. The reason is that the organic hydrogel contains a large amount of polar solvent water, and before carbonization, if the water cannot be removed, the water is quickly evaporated in the temperature rise process to form an interface with large surface tension between the surface of the organic gel and air, so that very large contraction pressure is generated, the carbon aerogel is cracked or even collapsed, the carbon aerogel in a block shape or a certain forming shape cannot be prepared, and meanwhile, the carbon aerogel with a developed pore structure cannot be obtained due to the large collapse or contraction of pores. In general, it is necessary to remove a large amount of water contained in the organic hydrogel by means of supercritical carbon dioxide extraction. The specific operation process is as follows: in order to reduce the huge surface tension generated in the organic gel in the supercritical carbon dioxide extraction process, firstly, organic solvents with large dissolving capacity in water such as acetone and the like are adopted to extract moisture in the organic gel for multiple times in a grading manner, and then the gel containing a large amount of organic volatile solvents such as acetone and the like is extracted under supercritical carbon dioxide fluid, so that the purposes of removing moisture and obtaining the massive organic aerogel with strong mechanical strength, good formed body maintenance and no crack are achieved. In the process of extracting a large amount of water from sol by using an organic solvent, the mixed solution of acetone and water is required to be adopted, the concentration of acetone is gradually increased, and the step-by-step extraction is carried out, so that the good appearance and the mechanical strength of the gel can be guaranteed, and therefore, the process not only needs to use a large amount of organic volatile solvents, but also is very tedious and needs to spend 3-4 days. The supercritical extraction process is carried out under the pressure of dozens of MPa, has high requirements on equipment conditions and is difficult to prepare on a large scale. Therefore, in general, not only the preparation process of carbon aerogel is very complicated, but also a preparation period takes as long as 10 days or more, which results in high price and difficulty in industrialization.
In view of the above problems, a great deal of research work has been conducted on (1) how to shorten the preparation time of the carbon aerogel, (2) how to use a more simple and efficient drying method, and the like. In methods that reduce the preparation time, mainly the sol-gel preparation process, the shortest gel time can be reduced to about 1 day using relatively high concentrations of alkaline (e.g., sodium carbonate) catalysts. In the research of the drying method, the freeze drying method is directly adopted, but the freeze drying is a process with high energy consumption and long time (several days are needed) because the hydrogel contains a large amount of water. The simplest drying method adopted at present is slow drying at normal temperature and normal pressure, and the slow drying of the hydrogel at normal temperature and normal pressure is realized by controlling the internal connection structure of the hydrogel in the prior research; this drying process is convenient but takes several days and places more specific requirements on the internal structure of the hydrogel, otherwise gel breakage can easily occur. Although many researches are carried out on rapid preparation and simple and cheap drying methods, the researches do not simultaneously solve the problems of the two aspects, namely the rapid preparation of sol and gel is realized, but the simple normal-temperature normal-pressure drying method is difficult to adopt; or simple normal temperature and normal pressure drying is realized, but a rapid sol-gel preparation process is not realized. The reason is that the hydrogel prepared by the rapid gelling method researched at present is difficult to be consistent with the hydrogel structure required by the normal-temperature normal-pressure drying method. These methods and techniques also have difficulty solving the technical difficulties of the carbon aerogel preparation process.

Example 1
According to the molar ratio of resorcinol to sodium carbonate of 500: 1 and the mass ratio of the graphite-like microcrystalline carbon nano material to resorcinol of 1: 2, the graphite-like microcrystalline carbon nano material, resorcinol and sodium carbonate are mixed with deionized water of which the mass is 20 times that of the mixture, and the mixture is stirred to form uniform suspension. Then, 37% of formaldehyde was slowly dropped into the suspension in a molar ratio of resorcinol to formaldehyde of 1: 2, sonicated for 2 minutes, and then they were sealed in a beaker and left to stand at 25 ℃ for 25 minutes to effect gelation. Then the gel in the sealed state is transferred to an oven, heated to 90 ℃ for 6h at the heating rate of 2 ℃/min, and then aged for 1h at the heating rate of 105 ℃. Taking out the gel from the sealed container, directly heating the gel in a tubular furnace at a heating rate of 1 ℃/min to 90 ℃, and drying the gel for 2 hours to obtain dry organogel; and then continuously heating to 900 ℃ in a tubular furnace at the heating rate of 2 ℃/min in the nitrogen atmosphere, and carbonizing for 2h to obtain the carbon aerogel. This sample was designated as GCN-RF-R2G.
Example 2
A carbon aerogel was prepared as in example 1, except that the mass ratio of the graphite-like microcrystalline carbon nanomaterial to resorcinol was 1: 3. The prepared carbon aerogel has a sample number of GCN-RF-R3G.
Example 3
A carbon aerogel was prepared as in example 1, except that the mass ratio of the graphite-like microcrystalline carbon nanomaterial to resorcinol was 1: 4. The prepared carbon aerogel has a sample number of GCN-RF-R4G.
Example 4
A carbon aerogel was prepared as in example 1, except that the mass ratio of the graphite-like microcrystalline carbon nanomaterial to resorcinol was 1: 5. The prepared carbon aerogel has a sample number of GCN-RF-R5G.
Comparative example 1
In the same manner as in example 1, but without the addition of graphite-like microcrystalline carbon nanomaterial.
The method comprises the following specific steps: mixing resorcinol, formaldehyde and sodium carbonate according to the molar ratio of the resorcinol to the sodium carbonate of 1: 50-500 and the molar ratio of the resorcinol to the formaldehyde of 1: 2, and dissolving the mixture in deionized water of 5-8 times. Sealing the mixture in a beaker, standing the mixture at 25-30 ℃, and observing the gelation condition.
Comparative example 2
The same drying method as in example 1 was used, but no graphite-like microcrystalline carbon nanomaterial was added; in order to ensure that gelation is achieved without adding graphite-like microcrystalline carbon nanomaterials, the conventionally generally used conditions for gelation of resorcinol and formaldehyde are employed.
The method comprises the following specific steps: resorcinol, formaldehyde and sodium carbonate were mixed uniformly with a molar ratio of resorcinol to formaldehyde of 1: 2 and a molar ratio of resorcinol to sodium carbonate catalyst of 100: 1 (if 500: 1 of example 1 is used, it is difficult to obtain gel in a conventional time), then sealed in a beaker and heated in a water bath to 80 ℃ (instead of normal temperature), allowed to stand at this temperature for 48h to achieve gelation, then heated to 90 ℃ again and aged for 72h or more, and after taking out the gel, heat-dried according to the conditions of example 1. And then heating to 900 ℃ in a tubular furnace at the heating rate of 2 ℃/min in the nitrogen atmosphere, and carbonizing for 2 hours to obtain the carbon aerogel.
To observe the integrity of the samples, FIGS. 1a and b show photographs of carbon aerogels prepared from examples 1-4, otherwise similar. As can be seen from fig. 1, the prepared carbon aerogel maintained a complete and regular cylindrical shape, had a smooth surface, and was free from any cracks. In the case of comparative example 1, it was found that gelation could not be achieved even after being left for one week, which is in agreement with the previous research results, that gelation of resorcinol and formaldehyde could not be achieved at normal temperature. Under the conditions of comparative example 2, i.e., the sol gelation temperature was 80 ℃, gelation could be achieved within 48 hours, but when direct heat drying was employed, a regular gel could not be obtained, all of which were broken, and the photograph thereof is shown in FIG. 1 c. These comparisons fully demonstrate that the key to the process is the use of graphite-like microcrystalline carbon nanomaterials. Through theoretical analysis and further research, the fact that the graphite-like microcrystalline carbon nano material can remarkably catalyze resorcinol and formaldehyde polymerization reaction in the preparation process of the carbon aerogel, provides strong supporting effect to resist huge surface tension brought by a rapid drying process, and can construct a rapid channel for water transportation on the surface of the gel (figure 2a), while the carbon aerogel prepared without adding the graphite-like microcrystalline carbon nano material (comparative example 2) is a more compact structure (figure 2 b). Therefore, under the condition of adding the graphite-like microcrystalline carbon nano material, rapid gelation can be realized at normal temperature, and the organic gel is directly heated and dried under normal pressure, so that the process is simple and convenient, the preparation time is greatly shortened, and the drying and carbonization processes are integrated into a heating continuous operation process; solves the technical problem of preparing carbon aerogel in the past.
In order to further understand the structure and performance of the carbon aerogel prepared by the application, the structure of the carbon aerogel is observed by using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), the adsorption isotherm and the pore size distribution of the carbon aerogel are analyzed by using a nitrogen adsorption method, and the specific surface area, the total specific pore volume and the mesopore volume are calculated; the compressive strength of the carbon aerogel is tested by adopting a universal testing machine, and the conductivity of the carbon aerogel is tested by adopting a multifunctional digital four-probe tester. The pore structure, density, compressive strength and electrical conductivity data of the carbon aerogels prepared in examples 1-4 are shown in table 1. The nitrogen adsorption isotherms and pore size profiles of the carbon aerogels prepared in examples 1-4 are shown in fig. 3 and 4, respectively. As can be seen from the table 1, the figures 3 and the figure 4, the carbon aerogel prepared by the method has a high specific surface area and a developed mesoporous structure, the specific surface area of the carbon aerogel is similar to that of the carbon aerogel prepared by long-time gelling, aging, freeze drying and supercritical drying which are adopted in the prior art, and the addition amount of the graphite-like microcrystalline carbon nano material can regulate and control the mesoporous structure of the carbon aerogel in a large range of pore sizes of 4-20 nm; the carbon aerogel prepared by the method also has very high compressive strength and conductivity, which shows that the technology of the invention can obtain a high-strength carbon aerogel product even if a quick and simple drying method is adopted, breaks through the key problem of the carbon aerogel preparation technology and produces obvious effects.
