Description

Modified electrode and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a modification method of an electrochemical energy storage material, in particular to a modified electrode and a preparation method and application thereof, and particularly relates to a method for improving a voltage window of a water system super capacitor by electrochemically depositing a micromolecule organic monomer containing carbon-carbon double bonds and polymers of alkali metal salts and alkaline earth metal salts thereof on the surface of the electrode in situ, belonging to the field of materials.
Background
The electrochemical energy storage technology is an important technology influencing the production and life of human beings, and obtains wide attention from the industrial and academic fields. Lithium ion batteries and supercapacitors are two representative types of energy storage devices in the field of electrochemical energy storage. Compared with the traditional secondary battery, the lithium ion battery has the advantages of high open-circuit voltage, large energy density, long service life and the like, and can be applied to the fields of portable electronic equipment such as mobile phones, video cameras, notebook computers and the like, military equipment, medical equipment and the like. However, the energy density of the traditional lithium battery is high (250 Wh kg)-1) But the power density is lower (< 1kW kg)-1) And the application of the lithium ion battery in high-power equipment and fields is limited. In the field of high-power energy storage, the super capacitor has unique advantages, and the power density of the super capacitor can reach 15kW kg-1However, since the surface energy storage is usually carried out by using an electric double layer, the energy density is too low (< 20Wh kg)-1) And the requirement of high energy density in practical application is difficult to meet, so that a novel super capacitor device with high energy density is urgently needed to be developed, and the application market of the super capacitor device is further expanded.
The energy density E and power density P of the supercapacitor can be determined by E-0.5 CV2And P ═ V2/4RESRCalculated respectively, where C is the specific capacitance of the active material, V is the voltage window of the device, and RESRIs the equivalent series resistance of the device. Through the calculation formula, two ways for improving the energy density of the super capacitor are found, namely, improving the specific capacity C of the active material and improving the voltage window of the device. The carbon material is the most typical active material of a supercapacitor, and commercial supercapacitor carbon materials such as YP-50 with a capacity of 200F g-1In the previous work, the capacity of 855F g is designed and prepared-1The nitrogen-doped ordered mesoporous carbon (Science,2015,350,1508-1513.) improves C by more than 4 times. The size of the voltage window V is another important factor influencing the energy density of the super capacitor, and the device can be greatly improved by improving V under the condition that C is constantThe energy density of the super capacitor is improved by 1 time, and the energy density of the super capacitor is improved by 4 times, so that the development of the high-voltage super capacitor is significant.
Carbon-based supercapacitors generally do not have a distinct redox peak due to the principle of electric double layer energy storage, and therefore the voltage of the devices is mainly determined by the electrolyte used, and can be divided into two categories, namely water-based supercapacitors and organic supercapacitors. The water system super capacitor has the advantages of good safety, good rate performance, environmental friendliness, low cost and the like, but is limited by the electrolysis of water, the voltage window of the water system super capacitor is usually lower, the voltage window of a symmetrical device in strong acid (such as sulfuric acid) and strong alkali (such as potassium hydroxide) electrolyte is only 1.0-1.2V, and the voltage window can reach as high as-1.8V due to the influence of the activity of water and the like in neutral lithium sulfate electrolyte. Due to the low voltage window, the energy density of the water system super capacitor is low, commercial YP-50 carbon material is used as an active material, and the energy density is only 8-14 Wh kg-1Even if high-capacity nitrogen-doped carbon is adopted, the energy density can only reach 40-60 Wh kg-1Much lower than lithium batteries. The voltage window of the super capacitor can reach 3V-4V by adopting non-aqueous electrolyte such as organic electrolyte or ionic liquid, and the energy density can be improved to 60-90Wh kg by adopting commercial active carbon material-1. However, the high-voltage non-aqueous super capacitor has the problems of high electrolyte price, poor safety, environmental friendliness and the like, the specific capacity of the carbon material in the electrolyte is generally less than half of that of the carbon material in the aqueous electrolyte, the improvement of energy density caused by high voltage is weakened, and the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte is generally only 10mS cm-1Far below that of aqueous electrolytes>100mS cm-1The rate performance of the device is poor, and the cycling stability of the device is reduced due to the oxidation problem of the carbon material under high voltage.
Therefore, the development of a high-voltage supercapacitor based on an aqueous electrolyte is an optimal path for simultaneously achieving high energy density, high power density, high safety and low cost, and theoretically, by constructing a water-blocking but ion-conducting polymer film on the surface of an electrode, the direct contact between the electrode and water can be isolated, so as to inhibit the decomposition of water, but how to achieve the aqueous high-voltage supercapacitor still has the following problems: (1) how to break through the limitations of thermodynamics and kinetics, inhibit the electrolysis of water under high voltage, and increase the voltage window to more than 2V; (2) how to solve the problem of oxidation of an active substance carbon material under high voltage; (3) how to controllably prepare a uniform water-blocking and ion-conducting sublayer on the surface of an electrode; (4) how to achieve stability of the polymer film during cycling; (5) how to ensure that the specific capacity and the rate capability of the material are not lost under the condition of improving the voltage of a device.

However, as shown in b in fig. 16, comparing the electrodes with different numbers of coating turns, it can be found that the rate performance of the electrode coated with lithium polyacrylate is close to that of the electrode not coated when the number of coating turns is 20, but when the number of coating turns is too large, such as 30 turns and 50 turns, the electrode has higher capacity at low rate, but the performance of high rate is rapidly reduced, which indicates that the too thick lithium polyacrylate film greatly reduces the mass transfer rate on the surface of the electrode, which is not favorable for the high rate performance of the material. Fig. 16 c is an ac impedance spectrum of electrodes with different numbers of wraps, from which it can be seen that an increase in the number of wraps makes the slope of the low-frequency end of the electrode smaller, illustrating that ion diffusion deviates from the surface capacitance type mass transfer process and is biased toward bulk diffusion of the battery, which is consistent with a decrease in the rate performance of the electrode.
