Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of a miniature energy storage device, in particular to a method for loading graphene quantum dots on graphite paper by a hydrothermal method and application of the method in the aspect of preparing a planar miniature supercapacitor, and belongs to the field of preparation of wearable energy storage devices.
Background
With the rapid development of electronic information technology, internet of things and wearable intelligent devices, people have higher requirements on flexible, miniature and portable electronic equipment (man-machine interaction systems, implantable medical monitoring modules and emergency energy sources for extreme environments). The micro super capacitor as a two-dimensional plane energy storage device gets rid of the problems of large volume and poor flexibility of the traditional energy storage unit, has the advantages of ultra-long cycle stability, excellent charge and discharge rate and easy large-scale patterning preparation, and becomes one of the most potential micro energy storage devices of the next generation.
The preparation of the micro super capacitor usually uses platinum, gold, silver, copper, nickel and conductive polymer as current collectors, the intrinsic physical properties of the metal current collectors greatly limit the flexibility of the device, and the current collectors of the conductive polymer usually have poor conductivity and expensive material cost and are difficult to meet the requirements of practical application. The graphite paper is formed by stacking and rolling high-temperature expanded desulfurized graphite flakes, and has the advantages of small sheet resistance, good flexibility and low cost, and is an ideal material for a current collector.
Most of the current research on micro supercapacitors uses a complex physical or chemical synthesis method (self-assembly, electrodeposition, chemical polymerization, gas phase synthesis, etc.) to load high-quality active substances (transition metal oxides, two-dimensional/three-dimensional carbon materials, organic/inorganic metal framework composites) on a current collector to improve the energy density of the device as a whole. Most of the preparation methods have complex flow, high equipment requirement and toxic monomers, and the large-scale preparation of the miniature super capacitor is greatly limited. The graphene quantum dots are used as a quasi-zero-dimensional material, and the anisotropic movement of electrons in the graphene quantum dots is limited, so that the quantum confinement effect is particularly remarkable, and the graphene quantum dots have many unique electrical and optical properties. The graphene quantum dots have small sizes and abundant edge defects, and can provide a large number of redox sites. The material is used for an electrode material, the energy density of an energy storage device can be further improved under the condition of not changing the mass load of the device, and a new thought is provided for realizing a high-performance planar micro super capacitor.
Therefore, a preparation method for rapidly preparing a high-performance flexible planar micro supercapacitor by using graphene quantum dots is needed to be designed so as to meet the energy storage requirement of small electronic equipment.

Data analysis
Fig. 1 is a transmission electron microscope image of a graphene quantum dot solution prepared by using citric acid as a precursor in example 1, and it can be seen from fig. a that the prepared graphene quantum dots are uniform in size, and fig. b shows that most of the particle sizes are distributed between 1 nm and 3 nm. The smaller graphene quantum dot size has rich edge sites, and the edges can gather more electrons and provide more redox active sites, so that the pseudocapacitance performance of the supercapacitor is improved.
FIG. 2 is a SEM comparison before and after pretreatment of the graphite paper of example 1, wherein a is a graph of graphite paper without pretreatment, and graphite flakes are tightly stacked together and are not beneficial to subsequent laser cutting. And b, the picture b is the graphite paper after pretreatment, part of tightly stacked graphite flakes are expanded by the solvent heat effect in the pretreatment process, the subsequent laser cutting of the graphite paper is facilitated after the expansion, the laser processing precision is improved, and the distance between the interdigital electrodes is reduced. The size of the device can be reduced, so that the integration capability of the device is improved on the substrate with the same area.
Fig. 3 is an SEM image of graphene quantum dot solution-supported graphite paper prepared using citric acid as a precursor in example 1. As shown in the drawing a, the surface of the graphite paper without the deposited graphene quantum dots is smooth, while in the drawing b, it can be seen that the graphene quantum dots on the graphite paper are uniformly loaded and have uniform size without agglomeration and cross-linking to form a linear structure after the hydrothermal treatment. The uniform load of the graphene quantum dots is beneficial to forming a good conductive path for the graphite paper electrode, and the rate capability and the cycling stability of the electrode are improved.
FIG. 4 shows the use of nitric acid as a nitrogen source for pretreating graphite paper in comparative example 1. Compared with urea as a pretreatment substance, SEM shows that graphene quantum dots loaded on graphite paper are less distributed after nitric acid treatment, and are difficult to uniformly deposit on the graphite paper, so that the graphene quantum dots are not beneficial to being subsequently used for an energy storage device and improving the electrochemical performance of the energy storage device.

After hydrothermal treatment, the graphene quantum dots are aggregated on the graphite paper into a bulk substance, the specific surface area of the aggregated graphene quantum dot group is greatly reduced, the number of edge defect sites is reduced, and the oxidation-reduction reaction of the electrode is not facilitated, so that the energy density of the device is reduced. And the distribution is scattered, and the load uniformity is poor. Therefore, the graphene quantum dots prepared by taking the graphene oxide as the carbon source are not suitable for being uniformly deposited on the graphite paper.
Fig. 6 is an illustration showing that in comparative example 3, graphene quantum dots are loaded on graphite paper by an electrodeposition method, in the electrodeposition method, the graphite paper is used as a working electrode, and after a direct current of 10V is applied, a large number of bubbles are generated on the graphite paper, so that the graphite paper is expanded and loses shape retention, and the interdigital electrode is not beneficial to subsequent laser cutting. And the graphene quantum dots loaded by the electrodeposition method are poor in distribution uniformity on graphite paper, some graphene quantum dots are gathered into larger small spheres in some regions, and the graphene quantum dots are less in load, so that the improvement of the capacitance performance of the miniature supercapacitor is not facilitated.
Fig. 7 is a real object diagram of the graphite paper which has not been subjected to the laser cutting in the comparative example 4, and it can be seen from the diagram that the laser processing precision is poor, a large amount of residual graphite fragments exist at the edge of the device, the inter-finger definition is poor, and the two electrodes are in contact due to the low processing precision between the electrodes, so that the assembled device is short-circuited. The poor electrode morphology is not beneficial to the subsequent formation of a micro energy storage device, and has no application value.
FIG. 8 is a constant current charge and discharge curve of a micro supercapacitor assembled with aqueous lithium chloride (LiCl) as an electrolyte in application example 1. The curve shows the excellent area capacitance performance of the device, and the quasi-triangular shape also shows that the device has better theoretical super capacitor rapid charge and discharge capacity.
FIG. 9 is a long cycle stability curve of a micro supercapacitor assembled with aqueous lithium chloride (LiCl) as an electrolyte in application example 1. It can be seen that the device retains 80% of its capacity after 10000 charge-discharge cycles. The ultrahigh cycle stability greatly prolongs the service life of the device, and the device can be used as a rechargeable energy device to meet the application under multi-scene conditions.
FIG. 10 is a graph showing a comparison of voltage windows of devices assembled using an ionic liquid electrolyte and aqueous lithium chloride (LiCl) as an electrolyte in application example 2. The gel electrolytes of different systems have great influence on the energy storage performance of the micro super capacitor, the voltage window of the prepared micro super capacitor is (0-0.8V) due to the theoretical water decomposition voltage of the water system electrolyte being 1.23V, the voltage window can be expanded to 3.5V by adopting the ion gel electrolyte, the energy storage capacity of the device is greatly improved, the wider voltage window is beneficial to the device to output higher working voltage, and the actual application range of the device is widened.
