摘要:
借鉴自支撑电极的制备原理,利用电化学沉积结合(NH4)2S2O8和NaOH沉积液进行表面处理等手段制备了基于碳纤维表面Cu(OH)2纳米结构的自支撑电极,分析测试了碳纤维表面的微观形貌、表面元素组成及其分布和表面物质的晶型以及利用水热反应在其表面附着电化学物质MnO2后的电化学性能。结果发现,当(NH4)2S2O8的浓度为0.43 g/L、NaOH浓度为30.48 g/L、处理时间为12 min时,由SEM观察发现碳纤维表面的Cu(OH)2纳米纤维的直径、长度、数量都较适宜;XPS、XRD和EDS的测试结果,沉积液处理后碳纤维表面部分单质铜转化为Cu(OH)2,此结构非常有利于电化学物质的负载而由此构成开放、具有核壳结构的高性能电极材料;恒电流充放电(GCD)测试结果表明此电极材料具有极快的充放电速度。因此本文首次成功地在碳纤维表面的铜层表面原位生长出Cu(OH)2纳米纤维,为未来以超级电容器为代表的能源设备的性能提升和商业化应用开拓了一种新的电极制备方法。

Abstract:Based on the preparation principle of self-supporting electrodes, a self-supporting electrode based on carbon fiber surface Cu(OH)2 nanostructures was prepared by electrochemical deposition combined with (NH4)2S2O8 and NaOH deposition solution for surface treatment. The electrochemical performance of the electrochemical substance MnO2 attached to its surface was analyzed by the hydrothermal reaction. The microscopic morphology of the carbon fiber surface, the composition and distribution of surface elements and the crystalline form of the surface substance were tested. It was found that when the concentration of (NH4)2S2O8 is 0.43 g/L, the concentration of NaOH is 30.48 g/L and the treatment time is 12 min, the diameter, length and quantity of Cu(OH)2 nano-fibers on the surface of the carbon fiber are more suitable for SEM observation; The test results of XPS, XRD and EDS show that the elemental copper on the surface of the carbon fiber is converted to Cu(OH)2 after being treated by the deposition solution; Galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) test results show that the electrode material has extremely fast charge and discharge speed. The structure is very conducive to the loading of electrochemical substances, and results in the open, high-performance electrode material with a core-shell structure. The Cu(OH)2 nanofibers are successfully grown on the surface of copper layer on the surface of carbon fiber for the first time, which opens up a new electrode preparation method for the performance improvement and commercial application of energy equipment represented by supercapacitors in the future.
