Example 1

(1) And (3) placing 2g of asphalt serving as an amorphous carbon source into a high-temperature tube furnace for annealing treatment under an argon protective atmosphere, wherein the air flow is 50mL/min, the heating rate is 5 ℃/min, the temperature is increased to 800 ℃, the temperature is kept for 2 hours, and the product is obtained after the asphalt is naturally cooled to room temperature, so that the pure asphalt-based amorphous carbon material is obtained.
(2) The pure asphalt-based amorphous carbon material is placed in a planetary ball mill for crushing treatment (ball milling is carried out for 2 hours at the rotating speed of 600 rpm) until the particle size is 0.5-500 um, amorphous carbon powder obtained by ball milling is placed in 3.5mol/L nitric acid solution for stirring for 30min, hydrothermal treatment is carried out for 1.5 hours at the temperature of 160 ℃, after the amorphous carbon material is naturally cooled to normal temperature, the product is taken out, filtered and washed for 3 times by 1000mL deionized water, and dried overnight in a blast drying oven at the temperature of 60 ℃ to obtain the amorphous carbon material subjected to hydrothermal acidification treatment.
(3) And (3) uniformly dispersing the amorphous carbon material subjected to the hydrothermal acidification in 40mL of formamide solvent, adding 2g of urea as a carbon point carbon source, stirring and uniformly mixing, sealing in a reaction kettle, performing hydrothermal treatment at 200 ℃ for 5 hours, taking out a product, performing suction filtration and washing 3 times by using 1000mL of deionized water and ethanol after the product is naturally cooled to normal temperature, and drying in a blast drying oven at 60 ℃ for overnight to obtain the amorphous carbon precursor modified by the carbon point.
(4) And (3) placing the carbon-point-modified amorphous carbon precursor in a high-temperature tube furnace for annealing treatment under an argon protection atmosphere (the air flow rate is 50mL/min, the heating rate is 5 ℃/min, the heating is up to 800 ℃ and the heat preservation is carried out for 1 h), and taking out after the amorphous carbon precursor is naturally cooled to room temperature, thus obtaining the carbon-point-modified amorphous carbon material (nitrogen-doped carbon-point-modified asphalt-based amorphous carbon material (CDMP)).
Comparative example 1
The pure pitch was treated only by step (1) of example 1 to obtain pure pitch-based amorphous carbon (PP).
Performance testing
Fig. 1 is an XRD comparison pattern of the amorphous carbon material modified with carbon dots (nitrogen doped carbon dot modified pitch-based amorphous carbon material (CDMP)) prepared in example 1 and the pure pitch-based amorphous carbon (PP) prepared in comparative example 1. As can be seen from fig. 1, both CDMP and PP have two distinct characteristic peaks corresponding to the (002) and (100) crystal planes of the disordered carbon material, respectively, but because the carbon dot size is only nano-scale and the content is small, no distinct graphite characteristic peak is detected.
The carbon-point-modified amorphous carbon material prepared in example 1 (nitrogen-doped carbon-point-modified pitch-based amorphous carbon material (CDMP)) and the pure pitch-based amorphous carbon (PP) prepared in comparative example 1 were used to prepare sodium ion batteries to test their properties, as follows:
(1) The amorphous carbon material modified by carbon dots (nitrogen doped carbon dot modified pitch-based amorphous carbon material (CDMP)) prepared in example 1 and the pure pitch-based amorphous carbon (PP) prepared in comparative example 1 were respectively mixed and milled with sodium alginate in a mass ratio of 9:1, and deionized water was added to conduct wet milling until the slurry was able to pass through a 200 mesh stainless steel screen;
(2) Coating the two slurries ground in the step (1) on copper foil by using a wet film coater respectively, controlling the thickness to be 200 mu m, and then transferring to a vacuum oven at 120 ℃ for drying for 12 hours;
(3) Cutting the two pole pieces in the step (2) into small pieces with the diameter of 12mm, transferring the small pieces into a glove box filled with argon, and assembling a button cell by adding 150 mu L of electrolyte in the sequence of a negative electrode shell, an elastic piece, a gasket, a metal sodium piece, a diaphragm, a current collector and a positive electrode shell (the type of the button cell used is CR2032, the diaphragm is a glass fiber diaphragm, and the electrolyte is 1M NaPF) 6 Ethylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate (1:1)).
(4) After the assembly was completed, the two button cells were removed from the glove box and allowed to stand at room temperature for 8 hours, and then electrochemical performance test was performed on the LAND cell test system.
Fig. 2 is a graph comparing electrochemical charge and discharge curves (a) and cycle properties (b) at room temperature of button cells prepared from carbon-dot modified amorphous carbon material (nitrogen-doped carbon-dot modified pitch-based amorphous carbon material (CDMP)) prepared by the method of example 1 and pure pitch-based amorphous carbon (PP) prepared in comparative example 1. As can be seen from fig. 2, the amorphous carbon material modified by carbon dots (nitrogen doped carbon dot modified pitch-based amorphous carbon material (CDMP)) prepared in example 1 exhibited higher gram specific capacity and first coulombic efficiency in the constant current charge and discharge test compared to the pure pitch-based amorphous carbon (PP) prepared in comparative example 1. The gram specific capacities of the carbon dot modified amorphous carbon material prepared in example 1 (nitrogen doped carbon dot modified pitch based amorphous carbon material (CDMP)) and the pure pitch based amorphous carbon (PP) prepared in comparative example 1 were 409.0mAh/g and 199.7mAh/g, respectively, with first coulombic efficiencies of 76.10% and 65.82%, respectively, at a current density of 30 mA/g. The whole disorder of the microstructure is favorable for the storage of sodium ions, but is also unfavorable for the first coulomb efficiency and the ion and electron transmission, so that the ordered distribution of the nanometer scale inside and on the surface of disordered carbon is very significant for improving the reaction kinetics.
Example 2
An amorphous carbon material modified by carbon dots (boron doped carbon dot modified hard carbon), the preparation method comprises the following steps:
(1) And (3) placing 2g of glucose serving as an amorphous carbon source into a high-temperature tube furnace for annealing treatment under an argon protective atmosphere, wherein the air flow is 50mL/min, the heating rate is 5 ℃/min, the temperature is raised to 1200 ℃, the temperature is kept for 2 hours, and the amorphous carbon material is obtained after the glucose is naturally cooled to room temperature.
(2) And (3) placing the amorphous carbon material into a planetary ball mill for crushing treatment (the rotating speed is 600rpm for ball milling for 2 hours) until the particle size is 0.5-500 um, then placing hard carbon powder obtained by ball milling into 3.5mol/L nitric acid solution for stirring for 30 minutes, carrying out hydrothermal reaction for 1.5 hours at 160 ℃, taking out the product after the product is naturally cooled to normal temperature, carrying out suction filtration and washing on the product by using 1000mL of deionized water for 3 times, and drying overnight in a blast drying oven at 60 ℃ to obtain the amorphous carbon material subjected to hydrothermal acidification treatment.
(3) And (3) uniformly dispersing the amorphous carbon material subjected to the hydrothermal acidification in 40mL of formamide solvent, adding 2g of anhydrous citric acid as a carbon point carbon source, adding 1g of boric acid and sodium borate as boron atom doping agents, stirring until the boric acid and the sodium borate are completely dissolved, carrying out hydrothermal reaction for 5 hours at 200 ℃, taking out the amorphous carbon material after the amorphous carbon material is naturally cooled to normal temperature, carrying out suction filtration and washing for 3 times by 1000mL of deionized water and ethanol, and drying overnight in a blast drying oven at 60 ℃ to obtain the amorphous carbon precursor modified by carbon points.
(4) And (3) placing the precursor in a high-temperature tube furnace for annealing treatment under the protection of argon (the air flow rate is 50mL/min, the heating rate is 5 ℃/min, the temperature is raised to 1200 ℃ and the heat is preserved for 1 h), and taking out the precursor after the precursor is naturally cooled to room temperature to obtain the product, thus obtaining the amorphous carbon material (CDMC) modified by carbon points.
Comparative example 2
Glucose was subjected to only step (1) of example 2 to obtain pure hard carbon material (HC).
Performance testing
FIG. 3 is a TEM image of carbon dot modified amorphous carbon material (CDMC) (a, b) and pure hard carbon material (c) prepared in example 2. It can be seen from FIG. 3 that the carbon dots are combined with hard carbon, the carbon dots are distributed in a dispersed manner and are not agglomerated, the particle size distribution of the carbon dots is about 10-20 nm, obvious lattice fringes can be seen, and the interplanar spacing is 0.22nm, which is consistent with common carbon dots; the pure hard carbon material has a well-aligned, curved carbon layer. The difference in microstructure causes a difference in performance.
The electrochemical charge-discharge curves at room temperature of the button cell prepared from the carbon dot modified amorphous carbon material (CDMC) prepared in example 2 and the pure hard carbon material (HC) prepared in comparative example 2 are shown in fig. 4, except that the ester electrolyte was replaced with NaPF6 dimethyl ether, and the electrode and the sodium ion cell prepared from the carbon dot modified amorphous carbon material (CDMC) prepared in example 2 and the pure hard carbon material (HC) prepared in comparative example 2 were prepared according to the method for testing the product properties in example 1 described above. As can be seen from the results of fig. 4: at a current density of 30mA/g, the amorphous carbon material (CDMC) modified by carbon dots shows similar first discharge capacity compared with the pure hard carbon material (HC), and the first discharge capacity is more than 450mAh/g, and the platform capacities almost coincide, which shows that the modification of the carbon dots hardly affects the intercalation of sodium ions; however, amorphous carbon materials (CDMC) modified by carbon dots exhibit higher average voltages and slightly higher capacities at the ramp section, indicating that carbon dots may have some effect on the adsorption capacity of sodium ions. This may be related to the surface heterogeneity, reactive groups and boundary effects that the carbon sites themselves have, but the higher average voltage is detrimental to the full cell energy density. Furthermore, the first coulombic efficiency of the carbon-point-modified hard carbon is improved to some extent, which may be related to surface defects and reduction of specific surface area.
Example 3
The preparation method of the amorphous carbon material modified by carbon dots (graphene quantum dot modified soft carbon) comprises the following steps:
(1) And (3) placing 2g of anthracite as an amorphous carbon source in a high-temperature tube furnace for annealing treatment under an argon protective atmosphere (the air flow is 50mL/min, the heating rate is 5 ℃/min, the temperature is raised to 800 ℃ and the heat is preserved for 2 hours), and taking out after the anthracite is naturally cooled to room temperature, so as to obtain the pure asphalt-based amorphous carbon material.
(2) And (3) placing the amorphous carbon material into a planetary ball mill for crushing treatment (the rotating speed is 600rpm, the ball milling is carried out for 2 hours) until the particle size is 0.5-500 um, then placing amorphous carbon powder obtained by ball milling into a nitric acid solution with the concentration of 3.5mol/L, stirring for 30 minutes, carrying out hydrothermal treatment at 160 ℃ for 1.5 hours, taking out the product, carrying out suction filtration and washing 3 times by using 1000mL deionized water after the product is naturally cooled to normal temperature, and drying overnight in a blast drying oven with the temperature of 60 ℃ to obtain the amorphous carbon material subjected to hydrothermal acidification treatment.
(3) And (3) uniformly dispersing the amorphous carbon material subjected to the hydrothermal acidification in 40mL of deionized water solvent, adding 1g of starch serving as a carbon point carbon source, stirring at 60 ℃ for 15min, rapidly pouring into a 100mL of polytetrafluoroethylene high-pressure reaction kettle after complete dissolution, carrying out hydrothermal treatment at 190 ℃ for 2h, taking out a product after the product is naturally cooled to normal temperature, carrying out suction filtration and washing 3 times by using 1000mL of deionized water and ethanol, and drying overnight in a blast drying oven at 60 ℃ to obtain the amorphous carbon precursor modified by the graphene quantum dots.
(4) And (3) placing the precursor in a high-temperature tube furnace for annealing treatment under an argon protective atmosphere (the air flow rate is 50mL/min, the heating rate is 5 ℃/min, the temperature is raised to 800 ℃ and the heat is preserved for 1 h), and taking out the precursor after the precursor is naturally cooled to room temperature to obtain the product, thus obtaining the graphene quantum dot modified amorphous carbon material (GDMC).
Comparative example 3
And (3) treating the anthracite only by the step (1) in the embodiment 3 to obtain Soft Carbon (SC) which is not modified by the graphene quantum dots.
Performance testing
Fig. 5 is a Raman comparison graph of the amorphous carbon material (GDMC) modified with graphene quantum dots prepared in example 3 and the Soft Carbon (SC) not modified with graphene quantum dots prepared in comparative example 3. As can be seen from FIG. 5, both materials exhibited broader D and G peaks, indicating that both carbon materials contained more defective SP at the same time 3 SP with high carbon and graphitization degree 2 And (3) carbon. Through careful analysis, it was found that the amorphous carbon material (GDMC) modified with graphene quantum dots prepared in example 3 was compared with the comparative material (SC) prepared in comparative example 3 D /I G Slightly smaller, indicating a higher order, probably due to the more highly crystalline graphene quantum dots contained in the amorphous carbon phase.
The amorphous carbon material (GDMC) modified with graphene quantum dots in example 3 and the Soft Carbon (SC) not modified with graphene quantum dots prepared in comparative example 3 were prepared into an electrode and a sodium ion battery according to the performance test method of the product prepared in example 1 above, and then were prepared at 10C (1c=300 mAh g -1 ) Electrochemical tests were performed at large current densities and rate performance tests at different current densities. Fig. 6 is a graph of cycle performance (a) and rate performance (b) at room temperature of the amorphous carbon material (GDMC) modified with graphene quantum dots in example 3 and the Soft Carbon (SC) not modified with graphene quantum dots prepared in comparative example 3. As can be seen from fig. 6, at a high current density of 10C, the capacity of both is only about 1/3 of the theoretical specific capacity, which means that the rate performance is poor, and that the soft carbon prepared in example 4 has a poor ion diffusion rate, and in addition, there is a possibility that the soft carbon has a certain relationship with the poor ion diffusion rate of the ester electrolyte. Through the rate performance test, the soft carbon modified by the graphene quantum dots has higher specific capacity under the current density of 30, 50, 300, 600, 1500 and 3000mA/g respectively. The specific capacity of the soft carbon modified by the graphene quantum dots (amorphous carbon material (GDMC) modified by the graphene quantum dots) is improved to a certain extent, and the graphene quantum dots cannot store sodium due to the smaller interlayer spacing, so that the ionic diffusion rate and the electronic conductivity of the graphene quantum dots are improved.
Example 4
An amorphous carbon material modified by carbon dots (a carbon dot modified soft carbon is prepared by a roasting method), and the specific preparation method comprises the following steps:
(1) 2g of citric acid was used as a carbon source of carbon dots, ground to have no granular feel, placed in a beaker, heated at 250 ℃ for 15min, and vigorously stirred with a glass rod to obtain citric acid in a molten state as an amorphous carbon material, and a large amount of carbon dots were formed in the process.
(2) And 2g of asphalt is added into the molten citric acid obtained in the step 1, and the mixture is vigorously stirred, so that the asphalt and the citric acid are uniformly mixed, and the carbon point modified amorphous carbon precursor is obtained.
(3) And (3) placing the carbon-point-modified amorphous carbon precursor obtained in the step (2) in a high-temperature tube furnace for annealing treatment under an argon protective atmosphere (the air flow is 50mL/min, the heating rate is 5 ℃/min, the temperature is increased to 800 ℃ and the heat is preserved for 2 hours), and taking out the carbon-point-modified amorphous carbon precursor after the carbon-point-modified amorphous carbon precursor is naturally cooled to the room temperature to obtain a product, thus obtaining the carbon-point-modified soft carbon (CDSC) prepared by a roasting method.
Comparative example 4
The pure pitch was treated only by step (1) of example 1 to obtain pure pitch-based amorphous carbon (PP).
Performance testing
FIG. 7 is a SEM comparison of soft carbon (CDSC) (a) modified with carbon dots prepared by the calcination method in example 4 and pure pitch-based amorphous carbon (PP) (b) prepared in comparative example 4. As can be seen from fig. 7, the soft carbon (CDSC) surface modified with carbon dots prepared by the firing method of example 4 is more rough and has more uniform protrusions than the pure pitch-based amorphous carbon (PP) of comparative example 4, which may be caused by uniform bonding of carbon dots with pitch.
The soft carbon modified with Carbon Dots (CDSC) of example 4 and the pure pitch-based amorphous carbon (PP) prepared in comparative example 4 were prepared into an electrode and a sodium ion battery according to the method of the performance test of example 1, and then were prepared at 0.1C (1c=300 mAh g -1 ) Electrochemical tests were performed at current densities of (c) and charge and discharge curves are shown in fig. 8. At a current density of 0.1C, it is inclinedThe slope capacity and the first effect are improved obviously. Combining the previous examples, it is speculated that the reason for the increased ramp capacity may be that the distribution of carbon sites over the amorphous carbon increases ion diffusion capacity and electron conductivity, and the first effect of carbon sites on the soft carbon may be that the high graphitization degree of carbon sites reduces open pores and defects on the surface of the amorphous carbon.
Also, the amorphous carbon source in the above embodiments may be any one or more of pitch, coal tar, glucose monohydrate, sucrose, starch, lignin, cellulose, charcoal, phenolic resin, sodium polyacrylate, polytetrafluoroethylene, or urea; the carbon source can be any one or more of animal hair, plant fiber, carbon fiber, graphene, graphite, anthracite, coke, carbon nanotube, urea, citric acid, glucose monohydrate, sucrose, starch, lignin, protein and vitamin; the solvent can be any one or more of water, formamide, isopropanol, N-dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidone and acetone; the heat treatment mode can be solvothermal at 100-250 ℃, inert atmosphere pyrolysis at 500-1500 ℃ and heating evaporation at 40-100 ℃, wherein the inert atmosphere is any one or more of argon, nitrogen, ammonia or hydrogen-argon mixed gas (the volume ratio of hydrogen and argon in the hydrogen-argon mixed gas is 5:95-10:90). The carbon quantum dot dopant can be a nonmetallic compound (such as boric acid, sodium borohydride, urea, melamine, chitosan, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride, sodium polyacrylate, monoammonium phosphate, phytic acid, thiourea or sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate) containing any one or more elements of boron, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, phosphorus or sulfur, the carbon quantum dot can be graphite carbon dots, amorphous carbon dots or the coexisting carbon dots modify amorphous carbon, and the formed amorphous carbon material modified by the carbon dots has the advantages of high electronic conductivity, fast ion diffusion, small interface impedance and the like, and can be widely used for preparing the electrode material of the sodium ion battery.
In summary, the invention discloses an amorphous carbon material modified by carbon dots, wherein carbon dots with the weight percentage of 0.1-10% and the diameter of 5-50 nm are distributed on the surface and/or inside of amorphous carbon. The carbon dots are mainly crystalline carbon with good crystallinity, different graphitization degrees are utilized to have a certain influence on the formation of the SEI film, the inorganic salt and organic matter content of the SEI film can be improved by growing on the surface of amorphous carbon, through regulating and controlling the proportion, the inorganic salt can enable sodium ions to quickly pass through the SEI film, the ion impedance and the interfacial charge transfer impedance are reduced, the organic component content is increased, the mechanical property of the SEI film can be improved, the damage of volume expansion to the SEI film is prevented, the continuous dissolution of inorganic components in electrolyte is slowed down, and the cycle performance is improved; in addition, the growth of carbon dots with higher graphitization degree on the surface of the amorphous carbon reduces the specific surface area and surface defects, so that the first coulombic efficiency of the sodium ion battery is effectively improved.
