A kind of electrochemistry assisting sol gel method prepares the method for γ-cobalt acid sodium electrode material
Technical field
The invention belongs to the metal oxide electrode material in functional material and preparing technical field thereof, particularly a kind of cobalt acid sodium electrode material and preparation method thereof.
Background technology
In recent years, ultracapacitor is with its excellent charge-discharge performance and be better than the high-specific-power of traditional capacitor, the feature of high power capacity, shows unprecedented application prospect in fields such as telecommunications, Aero-Space, military and national defense and new-energy automobiles.Electrode material is one of key factor determining ultracapacitor performance, and metal oxide becomes the focus of research because of its fake capacitance characteristic.Early stage research concentrates on the noble metals such as ruthenic oxide, and the oxide of the magnesium-yttrium-transition metals such as cobalt has multivalent state, therefore has the fake capacitance characteristic approximate with ruthenic oxide, can be used as the substitute of its cheapness.The cobalt base oxide cobalt acid sodium of layer structure, due to its good conductivity and stability, have catalytic performance, and this material non-toxic is harmless, environmentally safe simultaneously, therefore can be used as a kind of electrode material and use in alkaline fuel cell.
At present, the preparation method of cobalt acid sodium has solid phase method, solution combustion method, polymeric composite method, electrical spinning method and sol-gal process.It is uneven to there is raw material mixing in solid phase method, solution combustion method, polymeric composite fado, often pernicious gas is produced in follow-up sintering process, product purity not high (oxide remains more), the problem that grain size is thick and uneven, and Electrospun rule cost is higher.
Sol-gal process a kind ofly adopts suitable organic or inorganic salt to be mixed with solution, then the solution that can make it nucleation, gelation is added, control the gelinite that its gelation process obtains having spheric granules, obtain the method for required thing phase through uniform temperature calcining and decomposing.Like this, raw material achieves the uniformity of molecular level, and the temperature of synthesis is lower.Electrochemistry assisting sol gel method make use of electrochemical method and sol-gel method simultaneously, by means of the cavitation of ultrasonic technique, by the control to reaction condition (temperature, current density, pH, reaction time), achieve the control of the grain size to product, productive rate.
At present, there is not yet the relevant report that electrochemistry assisting sol gel method prepares γ-cobalt acid sodium electrode material both at home and abroad.
Summary of the invention
The object of the invention is to provide a kind of electrochemistry assisting sol gel method to prepare the method for γ-cobalt acid sodium electrode material.
Object of the present invention realizes in the following manner: a kind of electrochemistry assisting sol gel method prepares the method for γ-cobalt acid sodium electrode material, comprises the following steps:
(1) pre-treatment of cobalt sheet: after the mechanical polishing of cobalt sheet, soak in watery hydrochloric acid and acetone soln respectively, except degrease;
(2) preparation of electrolyte: with analytically pure ethylate for solute, with analytically pure absolute ethyl alcohol for solvent, the ethanolic solution of preparation ethylate, after abundant stirring, carry out filtration and obtain clear liquid, add TBAB and acetylacetone,2,4-pentanedione, obtain electrolyte;
(3) preparation of precursor liquid: using high-purity cobalt sheet as anode, stainless steel substrates, as negative electrode, carries out electrolysis 2 ~ 6 hours with the electrolyte of step (2) in two electrode systems, simultaneously auxiliary with ultrasonic technique and with inert gas shielding;
(4) formation of colloidal sol and gel: precursor liquid stirs at constant temperature lower magnetic force and regulates pH to alkalescence, continues to be stirred to formation colloidal sol, gel;
(5) cleaning of gel is with dry: centrifugal after gel washes of absolute alcohol, then carries out vacuumize at 40 DEG C ~ 80 DEG C;
(6) sintering of gel: dried gel sinters at 700 DEG C ~ 950 DEG C, finally obtains γ-cobalt acid sodium electrode material powder.
In described step (2), ethylate is caustic alcohol.
Described step (3) make use of electrochemical method, and the parameter of employing is constant current 0.016A/cm
2with permanent electromotive force 0.8V.
The ultrasonic power adopted in described step (3) is 60W, and temperature is 60 DEG C.
The invention has the advantages that:
1. utilize electrochemical method and ultrasonic technique to shorten the reaction time, reactant fully mixes, and reaction is easy to control.
2. the γ using this method obtained-cobalt acid sodium electrode material powder purity is high, better crystallinity degree, epigranular, reproducibility are good.
