Preparation method of hierarchical porous structure PNMA/lignosulfonic acid hybrid hydrogel
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation of conductive polymer-based new energy materials, and particularly relates to a preparation method of hierarchical porous PNMA/lignosulfonic acid hybrid hydrogel.
Background
As an important electrochemical energy storage material, the conductive polymer has the advantages of low cost, small environmental pollution, high charge density, wide potential window, adjustable redox activity and the like, and is paid much attention in the research field of electrode materials of super capacitors. Among conductive polymers, polyaniline is gradually the most widely studied electrode material due to its easy preparation, high doping ability, good conductivity, high electrochemical activity, high specific capacity and excellent environmental stability. However, the research data show that the cycle life of the polyaniline capacitor hardly exceeds 10000 times, and the specific capacitance value is reduced seriously during the cycle. This is because the doping/dedoping characteristics of polyaniline cause its volume to expand and contract repeatedly during charge and discharge, resulting in mechanical destruction of the electrode material during cycling. In addition, polyaniline is susceptible to oxidative degradation, which, even if slightly overcharged, would result in poor performance.
Currently, the preparation of polyaniline-based composite electrode materials is the main approach to improve cycle life, but also faces more serious challenges: polyaniline can effectively prolong the cycle life only by mixing with specific inorganic materials, such as carbon materials (activated carbon, carbon nano tubes, graphene and the like) or metal oxides (ruthenium oxide, nickel oxide, cobaltosic oxide and the like), the composite components are expensive, and the polyaniline can be uniformly mixed only by pretreatment and a special process, so that the preparation process is complex, time and labor are wasted, the cost is high, and some metal oxides have toxicity and do not meet the current requirements of green chemistry. Nevertheless, this technical approach still has difficulty dealing with the problem of oxidative degradation of polyaniline itself. In fact, polyaniline can be made more stable by chemical modification to form poly-N-methylaniline (PNMA) with higher oxidation resistance and better electrochemical activity. The poly-N-methylaniline being NH2One proton in the group is substituted with a methyl group, which stabilizes the positive charge generated by the nitrogen during oxidation, thereby increasing the stability of the polymer against electrochemical degradation.
The poly-N-methylaniline (PNMA) is very simple to prepare and can be obtained only by chemical oxidative polymerization or electrochemical polymerization of N-methylaniline monomers, but related documents of the polymer as an energy storage electrode material, particularly a supercapacitor material, report a few. The main reasons are that: (1) the substitution of methyl distorts the molecular chain of the polymer, destroys the conjugation property, leads to the reduction of the electrical property and has the conductivity of only 10-4~10-2S/cm which is far lower than 0.1-5S/cm of polyaniline; (2) PNMA (poly-n-vinyl-methacrylate) always forms smooth-surface microspheres spontaneously in the preparation process, and is difficult to form a porous nano structure with a larger specific surface area, and the porous nano structure is a key factor for improving the capacitance. It is seen that PNMA is difficult to be used as a mainstream energy storage electrode material in a super capacitor due to its own electrical properties and microstructure.
