Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following advantages:

Detailed Description
Example 1
The method for preparing the molybdenum carbide/carbon composite nanospheres based on the electrostatic spinning technology comprises the following steps:
s1, adding 0.07656g of ammonium molybdate into 10mL of Dimethylformamide (DMF), stirring for 2h, then adding 0.0957g of polyacrylonitrile (PAN, average molecular weight: 149900-151000), and stirring for 6h to obtain spinning solution;
s2, filling the spinning solution obtained in the step S1 into a 10mL syringe for electrostatic spinning to obtain a precursor nanosphere Mo@PAN;
the electrostatic spinning method comprises the following steps: connecting a stainless steel flat-mouth needle with an inner diameter of 1.40mm and an outer diameter of 1.80mm to a positive electrode, placing tinfoil on a receiving plate, connecting the receiving plate to a negative electrode, wherein the distance between the two plates is 9cm, the voltage is 16kV high voltage, and the speed of a propeller is 2mm/h so as to push the syringe;
as shown in fig. 1, which is an SEM scanning electron microscope image of precursor nanospheres mo@pan, the morphology of the sample is mainly beads with uniform size distribution, the sphericity of the beads is good, few fibers are arranged among the beads, but the content of the fibers is very limited.
S3, placing the precursor nanospheres Mo@PAN obtained in the step S2 in a tube furnace, and performing heat treatment in a nitrogen atmosphere to obtain molybdenum carbide/carbon (Mo) with an average particle size of 160nm 2 C/C) composite nanospheres; the heat treatment procedure is as follows: heating from room temperature to 800 ℃ at a heating rate of 1 ℃/min, preserving heat for 2 hours, naturally cooling to room temperature, and stopping introducing nitrogen when the temperature is reduced to 100 ℃.
As shown in an SEM image of the molybdenum carbide/carbon composite nanospheres, the material still maintains the form of beads, the particles are basically free of fibrous adhesion, the beads have good dispersibility and uniform size distribution, as shown in the figure 2.
XRD analysis of the final product thus prepared was carried out as shown in FIG. 3, and it was found that the XRD pattern contained a molybdenum carbide diffraction peak having a high peak intensity and an amorphous diffraction peak of carbon, and that no diffraction peak of other impurity components was present. Indicating that during the reaction, molybdenum carbide components with better crystallization state are generated.
The impurity content in the final product prepared by the method is low, only ammonium molybdate and PAN are used as raw materials (solvent DMF is volatilized in electrostatic spinning) in the preparation process, and under the condition of high-temperature heat treatment, impurity elements (such as N, O, H and the like) are completely decomposed and removed in a gas form, so that the prepared sample has high purity and low impurity content.
In the embodiment, a proper high polymer system (PAN high polymer and DMF solvent) is selected, and a spinning solution with specific concentration is prepared, so that the molybdenum carbide/carbon composite nanospheres with good dispersibility and uniform size can be obtained through the electrostatic spinning technology.
In the selection of the polymer system, attempts were also made to prepare precursors using the PVP system (PVP polymer+absolute ethanol solvent) and explored the effect of different spin fluid concentrations on the morphology of electrospun precursors. As shown in fig. 4, SEM scanning electron microscope photographs of mo@pvp precursor samples obtained after electrospinning using PVP spinning solutions of different concentrations. Wherein Mo@PVP-5 (a), mo@PVP-3 (b), mo@PVP-2 (c), [email protected] (d) and Mo@PVP-1 (e) represent the PVP content of the spinning solution of 5,3,2,1.5 and 1wt% respectively. It can be seen that as the concentration of PVP in the spinning solution decreases, the morphology of the precursor gradually changes from fiber to bead, but the morphology uniformity of the precursor bead obtained with the PVP system is poor. As shown in FIG. 5, an SEM scanning electron microscope image of a sample is obtained after Mo@PVP-1 precursor is subjected to high temperature heat treatment, and it can be seen that the morphology of the obtained sample beads cannot be completely maintained after the precursor is subjected to high temperature heat treatment, obvious adhesion occurs between particles, and the dispersibility is poor.
Based on the determination of PAN as a polymer system, the optimal concentration of PAN solution is further explored, and as shown in FIG. 6, SEM scanning electron microscope pictures of Mo@PAN precursor samples obtained by adopting PAN spinning solutions with different concentrations through electrostatic spinning are obtained. Wherein Mo@PAN-1 (a), mo@PAN-2 (b) and Mo@PAN-3 (c) represent the content of PAN in the spinning solution to be 1,2 and 3 weight percent respectively. It can be seen that when the PAN concentration in the dope is higher (mo@pan-3), the morphology of the sample is spindle-shaped, and as the PAN concentration decreases (mo@pan-2), the particles become spherical, but there is still a large number of fibers between the particles; at a PAN concentration of 1wt% (mo@pan-1), the particle morphology was essentially spherical with little fiber content, being the best uniformity, dispersibility of the particle morphology in all samples. Thus, a PAN polymer system (PAN polymer+DMF solvent) was selected and the concentration of PAN in the dope was 1wt%.
Compared with the nano tube, the nano ball of the invention has higher surface area of 124.7m 2 The higher surface area provides more active sites for the catalytic reaction, thereby increasing the catalytic activity. At the same time, the nanotubes may vary in length, diameter and morphology, the nanospheres exhibit uniform morphology and size distribution, their uniformity ensures stable performance in a variety of applications, and the spherical morphology of the nanospheres makes it easier for them to enter the surface region, making reactant molecules or gases more accessible. This accessibility increases the efficiency of the catalytic reaction and, by increasing the availability of active sites. Furthermore, nanotubes are prone to bending or collapsing under certain conditions, while nanospheres generally have higher mechanical stability, their robustness enables their use in harsh reaction environments and provides durability in a variety of applications. Molybdenum carbide/carbon (Mo 2 C/C) the compound nanospheres have high sphericity, uniform size and good dispersibility.
There are also some differences between nanospheres and them in application. The nanospheres can be used as catalysts for hydrogen generation reactions, fuel cells, electrochemical reactions, chemical syntheses, and the like. It can also be used as a reinforcing agent for metal matrix composites, providing better mechanical properties and thermal stability. In addition, the nanospheres can be used for electrochemical energy storage devices such as super capacitors, lithium ion batteries and the like, and provide higher energy storage and rapid charge and discharge characteristics.
The embodiment also provides the molybdenum carbide prepared by the methodCarbon (Mo) 2 C/C) composite nanospheres, which are used in the fields of catalysis, energy storage, coating, sensing and the like. In the catalytic field, this particular structure of spheres provides a high surface area, which provides more active sites for the catalytic reaction. The electrochemical test result shows that the molybdenum carbide/carbon nanospheres show excellent electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance when the current density is 10mA/cm -2 When in an acidic system, the molybdenum carbide/carbon nanosphere catalyst has an overpotential of 110mV/s and exhibits excellent stability. In addition, the spherical molybdenum carbide nano particles can be used as electrode materials of energy storage devices such as lithium ion batteries, supercapacitors and the like. Their high surface area promotes efficient electrochemical reactions and enhances energy storage properties.
