Description

Five-transition metal high-entropy MXene material and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field

Background
Since 2011, two-dimensional layered transition metal carbides (MXnes) have been found to have wide application prospects in the fields of supercapacitors, batteries, electrocatalysis and the like due to the characteristics of large interlayer spacing, good conductivity, good chemical stability and hydrophilicity, adjustable interlayer spacing and the like. MXene has the general chemical formula M n+1 X n T x It is M obtained by selectively etching an A atomic layer through the reaction of a precursor MAX material and a proper etchant n+1 X n T x . In the formula, M represents an early transition metal element; a is a group 13-14 element; x is mainly C; t (T) x Representing rich functional groups on the surface of the MXene. Due to the multiple selectivities of early transition metals, the diversity of etching methods, and the wide range of n values, the composition and atomic structure of MXene are tailored to have different physical and chemical properties to meet the needs of multiple fields, becoming a hot topic. Abundant components, excellent conductivity and stability, and easy-to-adjust surface chemistry, make MXnes have very promising applications in energy storage, catalysts, electromagnetic shielding, and the like. After adjustment of the M site element, atomic layers with two or more transition metals exhibit unique electronic structures (semiconductor or metallic features) with accompanying unique surface terminations. Based on the double transition metal structure, can be changedThe bimetallic MXenes have better conductivity, charge storage capacity and catalytic activity by changing the electronic state of the transition metal and the properties of the outer transition metal layer.
Similar to high-entropy alloys, high-entropy MXenes are multi-element materials comprising at least five metallic elements. Due to its novel "high entropy effect" and excellent properties, it has become one of the research hotspots in the material field in recent years. The mixing mode of various main elements of the high-entropy alloy leads to the maximum mixing entropy of the material, the high mixing entropy inhibits the formation of intermetallic compounds, and the formation of saturated solid solution with simple crystal structure is promoted. Under the coupling action of various mechanisms, the high-entropy alloy has excellent properties which are incomparable with those of the traditional materials, such as outstanding in the aspects of mechanics, electromagnetism, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and the like, so the high-entropy alloy is regarded as one of key materials which are expected to solve the problem of material performance bottleneck in the current engineering field. However, the existing MXene-based super capacitor has the problems of poor electrode performance, narrow working voltage range, short cycle life and the like. And currently there is a lack of examples of the application of high entropy MXene to the field of supercapacitors.

2. Performance test of five transition metal high entropy MXene material:
the performance of the substance obtained by the preparation method provided in the example 1 is detected; the method comprises the following steps:
1) Material identification
The application prepares the high entropy MXene (TiVCrNbMo) from the example 1 5 C 4 T x As a result of XRD measurement of the aerogel material, as shown in FIG. 1, there is a distinct (002) peak at 5℃as shown in FIG. 1, indicating the high entropy MXene (TiVCrNbMo) produced by the present invention 5 C 4 T x Aerogel materials are extremely high in purity and successful synthesis of novel pentatransition metal high-entropy MXene.
2) Topography determination of materials
The morphology and microstructure of the product obtained in steps 1) -3 of example 1 were studied by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and the results are shown in FIG. 2, wherein FIG. 2a is a high entropy MAX material (TiVCrNbMo) of example 1 5 AlC 4 Exhibits a typical dense layered structure; after selective etching of the aluminum atomic layer in the high entropy MAX by hydrofluoric acid, the originally compact layered structure is opened, and after washing and vacuum drying, a multi-layer high entropy MXene powder can be obtained, which presents a typical accordion-like microstructure (FIG. 2 b); layering multiple layers of high-entropy MXene powder to obtain a few-layer or single-layer high-entropy MXene solution, and coolingAnd (3) freeze-drying to obtain the high-entropy MXene aerogel, wherein the high-entropy MXene aerogel is in an irregularly-shaped three-dimensional macroporous structure Kong Bibao in a side view, and is formed by stacking few layers or single layers of MXene sheets in a top view, as shown in fig. 2c and 2 d. The three-dimensional hole and thin hole wall structures can greatly shorten the diffusion distance of electrolyte ions and increase the contact area with the electrolyte, thereby being beneficial to improving the electrochemical performance.
3) Film structure of material
The application prepares a low-layer or single-layer high-entropy MXene solution into a HE-MXene film by a vacuum suction filtration method (figure 2 e); the thickness of the resulting high entropy MXene film was about 20. Mu.m. After suction filtration, the two-dimensional material has typical lamellar close-packed appearance of the nano-sheets on the section. This is because the two-dimensional nanoplatelets in the high entropy MXene wet film tend to assemble layer by layer under the force of gravity; the high resolution TEM and corresponding selected area electron diffraction patterns (SAED) clearly demonstrate the lattice and hexagonal structure of the prepared multilayer high entropy MXene, demonstrating that good crystallinity can be well maintained after long-term hydrofluoric acid reaction (fig. 2 f). FIG. 2g shows a high-angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscope (HAADF-STEM) image with high entropy MAX and its corresponding element distribution; it can be clearly seen that the Ti, V, cr, nb, mo, al, C element is uniformly distributed in the high entropy MAX powder layer-by-layer stack.
4) Elemental ratio of high entropy material
The present application uses SEM-EDS to analyze the elemental ratios of high entropy MAX and high entropy MXene. EDS point scan results are shown in Table 1:
TABLE 1EDS Point scan results
As can be seen from Table 1, after HF etching, the multi-layer HE-MXene still maintains a transition metal stoichiometry close to its MAX precursor, and a Ti, V, cr, nb, mo ratio of about 1:1:1:1:1. Because Cr-C bonds in the multi-layer high-entropy MXene are weaker than other M-C bonds, the proportion of Cr in the multi-layer HE-MXene is slightly lower than that in the precursor, and the reactivity of the Cr-containing MXene in the selective etching process is stronger. Furthermore, we analyzed the elemental ratios of the single layer MXene using ICP-OES as shown in table 2:
table 2: elemental ratio of MXene
As can be seen from table 2, the contents of Ti, V, cr, nb and Mo are close to 20at.% and are in the range of 5 to 35 at.%.
5) Atomic arrangement of high entropy materials
The application further researches the atomic arrangement of high entropy MXenes by an atomic resolution aberration correcting mirror, and the result is shown in FIG. 3: wherein fig. 3a directly shows some regular arrangements of atoms of different brightness intensities. It is well known that the brightness of an atom is proportional to the square of its atomic number. Following this principle, in the enlarged view of fig. 3a, the brightest atoms are Mo atoms, the darkest atoms are Ti atoms, and the unevenness of the luminance distribution indicates that the m-site element atoms in the high entropy MXene are arranged in a solid solution arrangement. As shown in fig. 3b, there is a distinct dark portion between adjacent layers, which is caused by the reaction of Al atoms with hydrofluoric acid, indicating that the high entropy MAX is successfully converted to high entropy MXene. Importantly, the super-EDS results (fig. 3 c) show that the distribution of the five elements is very uniform, even in the nanometer range, with no significant aggregation effects.
Example 2: preparation of supercapacitor electrode material
A preparation method of a hardware transition high-entropy MXene supercapacitor electrode material comprises the following steps:
high entropy MXene (TiVCrNbMo) prepared in example 1 5 C 4 T x Mixing aerogel, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) adhesive and acetylene black, wherein the acetylene black is added between MXene sheets to form a conductive network, the mass ratio is 80:10:10, and the conductive network is dispersed in 0.5-2mL of n-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) solvent; homogenizing the obtained mixture with ultrasonic wave, coating on conductive carbon cloth substrate, and drying in vacuum freeze drying oven for 20-30 hr to obtain hardware transition high entropy MXAnd (5) an ene super capacitor electrode material.
Performance test:
1) Electrochemical testing
The application adopts Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), constant current charge-discharge (GCD) and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) in 1M KOH electrolyte for testing, and the results are shown in figure 5, specifically, the application selects the range of-1.0 to-0.3V (vs. Hg/HgO) to test the cyclic voltammetry curve of the high-entropy MXene electrode, and the scanning rate is 2-100mV s -1 . As shown in FIG. 5a, the temperature is between 2 and 100mV s -1 At the scanning rate of (2), the CV curve of the high entropy MXene electrode is approximately symmetric and regular rectangle, and no obvious oxidation-reduction peak and polarization phenomenon are observed (namely, no upwarp at the two ends of the CV curve); with the increase of the scanning speed, the CV curve is not obvious in bending, and good reversibility is shown; the GCD test can record a voltage curve changing along with time, and can reflect the charge and discharge performance of the electrode like a CV curve; as shown in fig. 5b, as the current density decreases, the charge-discharge time of the electrode increases, because ions in the electrolyte can be more fully intercalated between the MXene layers with lower current densities; meanwhile, it can be observed that there is an insignificant pressure drop process at the top of the charge-discharge curve; this small voltage drop may reflect the magnitude of the internal resistance of the electrode. The voltage drop is not obvious in the present application, and the internal resistance of the electrode is considered to be low. When the current density is 1Ag -1 The mass capacitance of the high entropy MXene electrode is 284.6F g -1
2) Capacitive performance testing
The method tests the capacitance performance of the metal transition high-entropy MXene super capacitor electrode material, and simultaneously introduces single transition metal MXenes, nb 2 CT x ,V 2 CT x And Ti is 3 C 2 T x Supercapacitor electrode materials were prepared as comparative examples, the preparation method of which was the same as that of example 2 described above; wherein Nb is 2 CT x ,V 2 CT x And Ti is 3 C 2 T x The preparation method of (1) is as followsTechniques, not described in detail herein; of course Nb 2 CT x ,V 2 CT x And Ti is 3 C 2 T x Materials are also commercially available; nb thereof 2 CT x ,V 2 CT x And Ti is 3 C 2 T x The morphology diagram of the material is shown in fig. 4; wherein (a) Ti 3 AlC 2 ,(b)Nb 2 AlC,(c)V 2 AlC,(d)Ti 3 C 2 T x ,(e)Nb 2 CT x And (f) V 2 CT x Is a scanning electron microscope image of (1). FIG. 5c shows a scan rate of 100mV s in a 1M KOH electrolyte -1 Different suitable voltage window CV curves for the high entropy MXene electrode and the single transition metal MXene electrode materials in the three-electrode system. It can be seen that the high entropy MXene electrode possesses a high entropy relative to the single transition metal Nb 2 CT x ,V 2 CT x And Ti is 3 C 2 T x The electrodes have a wider operating voltage window. In the same electrolyte, V 2 CT x The electrode material starts to appear slightly polarized at-0.5V (i.e., the two ends of the curve are obviously upwarped), which is more obvious at low scanning rate, while the high entropy MXene electrode working voltage window is 0.7V, and no polarization occurs at both low and high scanning rates. In addition, as can be seen in conjunction with FIGS. 5a, 5c, with Nb 2 CT x ,V 2 CT x And Ti is 3 C 2 T x Compared with the MXene electrode, the cyclic voltammogram of the high-entropy MXene electrode has the largest integral area under the low scanning rate and the high scanning rate, which means that the crystal stability improved by increasing the transition metal species in the MXene can obviously optimize the working state of the MXene electrode in electrolyte, namely the electrochemical performance and the working voltage window of the MXene electrode are improved. Comparing GCD curves, the high-entropy MXene electrode always has longer discharge time than single transition metal MXnes under the conditions of low current density and high current density; the gravimetric capacitance of different MXnes at different current densities is shown in FIG. 5d, and the gravimetric capacitance of the high entropy MXene electrode is still 170Fg when the current density is increased 10 times -1 Exhibits excellent rate performance.
FIG. 5e shows noLike the Nyquist plot of mxnes, the inset is an enlarged plot of the high frequency region. The Nyquist plot consists of a semicircle in the high frequency region and a straight line in the low frequency region. In the high frequency region, the intersection of the semicircle and the real axis is the internal resistance (R s The internal resistance of the material consists of the internal resistance of the active material and the collector, and the contact resistance between the electrode and the electrolyte. The radius of the semicircle is the charge transfer resistance (R ct ) The smaller the radius, the smaller the charge transfer resistance of the electrode; the straight portion of the low frequency region is related to the diffusion of ions in the electrolyte. As can be seen, the high entropy MXene electrode has smaller intercept value and radius in the high frequency region, indicating R s And R is ct Are all lower than single transition metal MXene electrodes. The conductivity of the high entropy MXene was shown to be better. This also reveals the reason why the high entropy MXene electrode has superior capacitive performance. Furthermore, the near vertical lines in the low frequency region demonstrate the capacitive properties of the electrode, indicating that the electrode exhibits rapid diffusion kinetics. By comparing our work with other works (FIG. 5 f), it can be found that (TiVCrNbMo) is prepared by the preparation method of the present application 5 C 4 T x The high-entropy MXene electrode prepared from the aerogel has good capacitance. These excellent preliminary results indicate that (TiVCrNbMo) 5 C 4 T x Aerogel is a promising candidate electrode material for energy storage applications, potentially exceeding the charge storage performance of conventional MXenes. Furthermore, the adjustability of the M-bit in MAX materials provides an infinite opportunity to tailor the composition of the resulting MXenes, which is a desirable choice for energy storage and catalytic applications.
