细菌纤维素基电解质的制备及其在超级电容器中的应用

Preparation of bacterial cellulose-based electrolytes and their application in supercapacitors

  • 摘要: 针对凝胶电解质在宽电压窗口与宽温域稳定性方面仍受限制的问题,以尿素作为氢键供体、1-乙基-3-甲基咪唑四氟硼酸盐(EMIMBF4)为氢键受体,制备离子共晶混合物并浸润细菌纤维素(BC)气凝胶,获得共晶离子凝胶电解质(BUE-x);采用SEM、FT-IR、XRD、DSC与TGA分析其微观形貌、结构与热行为,并组装活性炭对称超级电容器开展电化学测试。结果表明:当尿素与EMIMBF4摩尔比为3∶7时,其在BC气凝胶三维孔道内分散更均匀,能形成连续的离子传输通道,并有效抑制局部富集与析晶;其室温离子电导率为0.59 mS·cm−1,电化学稳定窗口可达3.0 V。制备的超级电容器在1 A·g−1的电流密度下比电容为123 F·g−1,在749.2 W·kg−1的功率密度时可实现38.4 Wh·kg−1的能量密度,并在0~80℃范围内保持较好的电化学响应。该研究表明,BC气凝胶限域构筑共晶离子混合物是一条兼顾宽电压与宽温域性能的有效途径。为纤维素的多功能应用提出了新思路。

     

    Abstract: To address the remaining limitations of gel electrolytes in terms of wide-voltage operation and thermal stability over a broad temperature range, urea was used as a hydrogen-bond donor and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (EMIMBF4) as a hydrogen-bond acceptor to prepare a eutectic ionic mixture, which was then impregnated into a bacterial cellulose (BC) aerogel to obtain a eutectic ionic gel electrolyte (BUE-x). The microstructure, composition, and thermal behavior were characterized by SEM, FT-IR, XRD, DSC, and TGA, and activated-carbon symmetric supercapacitors were assembled to evaluate the electrochemical performance. The results show that when the molar ratio of urea to EMIMBF4 is 3∶7, the resulting gel electrolyte (BUE-3) is more uniformly distributed within the three-dimensional BC pore network, forming continuous ion-transport pathways while effectively suppressing local aggregation and crystallization. The room-temperature ionic conductivity reaches 0.59 mS·cm−1, and the electrochemical stability window is 3.0 V. The assembled supercapacitor delivers a specific capacitance of 123 F·g−1 at 1 A·g−1, with an energy density of 38.4 Wh·kg−1 at a power density of 749.2 W·kg−1, while maintaining favorable electrochemical performance over 0-80℃. These results demonstrate that confining eutectic ionic mixtures within BC aerogels is a viable strategy for developing electrolytes that combine wide-voltage and wide-temperature performance, and provide a new perspective for multifunctional cellulose-based applications.
