Description

Nickel hydroxide/graphite composite material
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of graphene, relates to a nickel hydroxide/graphite composite material, and particularly relates to a nickel hydroxide/expanded graphite composite material for a super capacitor.
Background
Novel energy storage devices such as super capacitors and lithium ion batteries meet the requirements of human beings on novel energy. In order to develop efficient energy storage devices, electrode materials play a significant role. Most of the electrode materials of the super capacitor commercialized at present are carbon materials with high specific surface area, such as activated carbon and carbon aerogel, but the energy density of the super capacitor assembled by the carbon materials is 10-100 times smaller than that of the battery. In order to increase the energy density of the super capacitor, research on pseudo-capacitance materials with high energy density, such as metal oxides and hydroxides (both of which have high theoretical specific capacitance), but the pseudo-capacitance materials have the disadvantages of poor conductivity, easy agglomeration of particles and the like. Therefore, in order to take advantage of the advantages of the carbon material such as high specific surface area and high electrical conductivity, and to provide a high loading area for the metal oxide (hydroxide), the carbon material has an effect of preventing particle agglomeration, and when the carbon material is compounded with a conductive polymer, the carbon material has a stable polymer structure, and overcomes the disadvantage of poor cycle stability caused by swelling during charge and discharge, and in recent years, metal oxide (hydroxide)/carbon, conductive polymer/carbon composite materials have been the focus of research.
Graphene is a two-dimensional carbon material consisting of carbon atoms hybridized by sp2 and having a thickness of one atom. Initially, graphene was considered an ideal quantum electrodynamics model in condensed state studies, which prompted graphene to be an attractive theoretical model. Since the graphene is prepared by Geim and the like in 2004 for the first time by adopting a micro-mechanical stripping method, the graphene attracts people's extensive attention because of excellent performances such as high conductivity, high specific surface area, high strength and high electron mobility, and further promotes the rapid development of the graphene preparation technology. Due to the excellent physicochemical properties, the material is widely applied to energy storage materials, environmental engineering and sensitive sensing, is called as 'black gold' or 'king of new materials', has a wide potential application prospect, and has become a focus and a research hotspot all over the world at present.
However, if graphene is used as an electrode material, the energy density is low, and thus, in the existing research, a metal oxide, graphene, a conductive polymer and graphene are compounded to prepare a pseudo-capacitor material. However, in practical applications, graphene still has many problems and restriction factors, and the preparation of graphene is a major obstacle that restricts the practical application and development of graphene. Although researchers have developed numerous methods for preparing graphene to date. Such as micro-electromechanical lift-off, epitaxial growth, intercalation lift-off, microwave assisted lift-off, arc discharge, chemical vapor deposition, and liquid phase reduced oxidation of graphite, among others. However, the practical problems of high price and the like caused by complex preparation method, rigorous requirements and low yield are still difficult to overcome, and the requirements of industrial mass production in reality cannot be met.
Therefore, how to find a more suitable composite material to solve the above-mentioned defects, which can be used as a pseudocapacitance material, has become one of the focuses of great attention of many research and development enterprises in the industry.
