Technical field
The invention belongs to inorganic advanced technical field of nanometer material preparation, are related to a kind of controllable stannic oxide of crystallite dimension
Microballoon and preparation method and application.
Background technology
SnO2It is a kind of broad-band gap n-type semiconductor, energy gap 3.6eV, chemical stability is good, electron transfer energy
Power is fast, and with high visible light transmittance, novel solar battery, lithium ion battery, gas sensor, electrically conducting transparent with
And photocatalysis field have wide application prospect, therefore, synthesis size, pattern, structure-controllable tin dioxide nanometer material tool
It is significant.
Grain size is several nanometers or tens nanometers of SnO2Particle has high specific surface area and more active site,
Therefore, its more physics and chemical characteristic can be assigned.But there are many problems in practical application for small-size grains:Example
Such as, little crystal grain is easily reunited, and reduces its reactivity;The size of little crystal grain is much smaller than visible wavelength, uses it for the sun
It is unfavorable for the capture of sunlight during energy battery light anode material;For the material of (Asia) micron-scale, nano-scale
Little crystal grain is not easy to recycle;Little particle dense accumulation is unfavorable for the infiltration of ion, electrolyte solution or other reaction systems.Closely
It is over year research shows that, prepare the SnO of multilevel hierarchy2Microballoon can expand SnO significantly2The use scope of nano material.Multilevel hierarchy
SnO2Microballoon is by SnO2Nano-crystalline granule self assembly is assembled, it remains SnO2The advantage of nano particle high-specific surface area, together
When the advantages of being also equipped with the easy recycling of micronsize material, strong light scattering, in addition the hole of multilevel hierarchy microballoon is by nanocrystalline
Grain stacking obtains, usually mesopore size, contributes to the fully penetrated of electrolyte.Therefore, synthesis multilevel hierarchy SnO2Microballoon has
There is significant application value, especially have weight to improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar cell and the cyclical stability of lithium ion battery
Want meaning.
Xiongwen Lou et al. are tin source, sodium hydroxide for alkali source to crystallize stannous chloride, add in urea as pattern
Adjusting control agent, the multilevel hierarchy microballoon that solvent-thermal process is formed by the aggregation of tin oxide nano piece, this microballoon are used for lithium-ion electric
The specific capacity of Chi Shiyou higher and very big current density, it is most important to the formation of microballoon that they also found that urea is added in, instead
Answer can not be obtained if no urea in object size uniform microballoon (J.Phys.Chem.C 2011,115,24605-
24610).It is tin source, lithium salts as pore creating material that Peining Zhu et al., which use crystallization stannic chloride, and Jie has been synthesized by molten-salt growth method
Hole multilevel hierarchy SnO2Microballoon, for both having had high surface area absorption dyestuff sub-micro meter ruler simultaneously after dye-sensitized solar cells
The very little light scattering ability for improving battery, but the Microsphere Size that this high temperature solid-state method obtains is very uneven, it can be also in microballoon
It can residual impurity (Chem.Commun., 2012,48,10865-10867).Yu-Fen Wang et al. are using crystallization stannous chloride
For tin source, using ethylenediamine as Morphological control agent, mesoporous multilevel hierarchy SnO has been synthesized by two step of combination of ultrasound solvent heat2Microballoon,
But the Microsphere Size that this method obtains is larger (about 2.2 microns), and Microsphere Size it is uneven (J.Power Sources,
2015,280,476–482).Guanglu Shang et al. are using stannous sulfate as tin source, solvent-thermal process multilevel hierarchy SnO2
Microballoon, but Microsphere Size is distributed also uneven, diameter wider distribution, from 100 to 800nm etc., in addition as microballoon group substantially
Into unit nano-crystalline granule crystallinity nor too preferable (J.Phys.Chem.C 2012,116,20140-20145).
Above research shows that, multilevel hierarchy SnO2Microballoon has wide practical use, but there is no good methods at present
Synthesize the SnO of even size distribution (monodisperse or quasi- monodisperse)2Microballoon, additionally as the nanocrystalline of composition microballoon basic unit
Also few people refer to for the size regulation and control of particle --- actually this is to influence microsphere surface product and the key component of active site.Cause
This, is highly desirable to develop a kind of easy wet-chemical for not needing to additional additive (such as pore creating material, Morphological control agent)
Method synthesizes the SnO of even size distribution2Microballoon.
