摘要: 随着生产力水平的提高,产生了大量的废旧纺织品,通过传统的焚烧和掩埋处理方法既造成了资源的浪费还产生了大量污染。为了使废旧棉具有更高的附加值,通过碳化技术制备为活性碳,使其在治理土壤污染、医药领域和储能领域都具有巨大应用价值,但其制备的碳材料具有比表面积小、容量低与电解质界面浸润性差等缺点。本文通过在废旧棉纺织品中首先引入Zn2+和NO3−离子,通过对Zn2+和NO3−离子浓度的调控,借助浸渍-烘干-碳化技术,制备了具有高比表面积的中空多孔碳布材料。结果表明,Zn(NO3)2具有优异的致孔能力,得到了具有微孔、介孔和大孔的多尺度孔洞结构的中空碳布,其比表面积高达1257.07 m2·g−1,界面浸润性优异。所制备的中空多孔碳布电极比电容高达251.5 F·g−1,5000次循环后容量保持率为100%,在储能领域中显示出了广阔的应用前景。Abstract: With the improvement of productivity level, a large number of waste textiles have been produced. The traditional incineration and burial treatment methods for waste textiles not only cause waste of resources but also generate a lot of pollution. In order to make waste cotton have higher added value, activated carbon is prepared by carbonization technology, which makes it have great application value in the field of soil pollution control, medicine, and energy storage. However, the prepared carbon material has disadvantages such as small specific surface area, low capacity, and poor wettability at the interface with the electrolyte. In this paper, Zn2+ and NO3− ions were first introduced into the waste cotton fabrics, and the hollow porous carbon cloth with a high specific surface area was prepared by adjusting the concentration of Zn2+ and NO3− ions and utilizing impregnation-drying-carbonization technology. The results show that Zn(NO3)2 has an excellent pore-forming ability, and a hollow carbon cloth with a multi-scale pore structure of micropores, mesopores, and macropores is obtained. The specific surface area is as high as 1257.07 m2·g−1, and the interfacial wettability is excellent. The prepared hollow porous carbon cloth electrode has a specific capacitance up to 251.5 F·g−1 and the capacity retention rate of 100% after 5000 cycles, showing a broad application prospect in the field of energy storage.
