Detailed Description
In order to further describe the technical means and effects adopted by the invention to achieve the preset aim, the following detailed description refers to the specific implementation, structure, characteristics and effects of the nano cellulose composite aerogel, the preparation method thereof and the photovoltaic power generation device according to the invention by combining the accompanying drawings and the preferred embodiment.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, a method for preparing a nanocellulose composite aerogel is provided, comprising the steps of:
step one, cellulose is modified to contain carboxyl groups. When the cellulose raw material is selected, at least one selected from bleached sulfate softwood pulp, bleached sulfate hardwood pulp, bleached sulfite softwood pulp and bleached sulfite hardwood pulp may be selected, and is not particularly limited herein; when cellulose is modified, the main modification method includes converting part of hydroxyl groups of cellulose into carboxyl groups by TEMPO oxidation, periodate oxidation, nitric acid-sodium nitrite oxidation, potassium permanganate oxidation, ammonium persulfate oxidation, and the like. According to the technical scheme, the nanocellulose is subjected to carboxylation treatment, so that part of hydroxyl groups of the nanocellulose are modified into carboxyl groups, and thus carboxyl groups on the modified cellulose and carboxylated carbon nanotubes can be subjected to electrostatic complexation and crosslinking reaction with metal ions to form a stable structure, so that the cellulose network structure is prevented from collapsing in the normal-pressure drying process of the subsequent process. Among them, TEMPO oxidation mechanism: the TEMPO (2, 6-tetramethyl piperidine oxide) reagent has the function of selective oxidation, and free electrons on nitroxyl radicals in TEMPO molecules are activated under the action of NaBr and NaClO, so that the hydroxyl groups at the C6 position on cellulose can be oxidized into carboxyl groups. Periodic acid oxidation mechanism: hydroxy at C2 and C3 positions on cellulose The groups are broken by oxidation under the action of periodic acid and quantitatively converted into the corresponding aldehyde ketones, which are further oxidized to the corresponding carboxyl groups when periodic acid is present in excess. Nitric acid-sodium nitrite oxidation process: by liberating nitronium ions (NO) from nitric acid and nitrite in the presence of excess acid 2+ ) The resulting nitronium ions attack the primary hydroxyl groups of cellulose and produce aldehyde intermediates, which then produce carboxylate groups. The oxidation mechanism of potassium permanganate is that hydroxy group on cellulose C6 leads MnO 4 - Reduction to Mn 2+ . Excess MnO 4 - Continuing to add Mn 2+ Oxidation to MnO 2 MnO2 is used as an auto-catalyst, so that the system has high oxidability, and hydroxyl groups at the position of cellulose are oxidized into carboxyl groups. Ammonium persulfate oxidation process mechanism: s is S 2 O 8 2- Rapidly decomposing to form sulfate radical, and then generating HSO 4 - Peroxy radicals and sulfate radicals oxidize hydroxyl groups at the C6 position of cellulose to carboxyl groups.
Further, the carboxyl group concentration of the modified cellulose is 1.3-2.5mmol/g. When the carboxyl content is within this range, the formed nanofibers can form a relatively high viscosity, transparent gel without clogging the homogenizer. When cellulose is modified, the carboxyl degree of the obtained modified cellulose is different through different modification methods and degrees, the replacement degree in an absolute ethyl alcohol/metal salt solution is different, the fixed crosslinking effect of the modified cellulose on the composite aerogel is also different, and further the application of the modified cellulose in the photovoltaic power generation is influenced, and the carboxyl of the cellulose surface has a key effect on the formation and the subsequent application of the nano cellulose composite aerogel in a subsequent process. The key point is that the nano cellulose composite aerogel holes cannot collapse in the normal pressure drying process and the water-based power generation process in the later period.
In addition, the modified nano cellulose prepared by modification and mechanical treatment is prepared into modified nano cellulose aqueous dispersion; wherein, the mechanical treatment mode of the modified cellulose is as follows: circularly homogenizing the modified cellulose with a high-pressure homogenizer for 3-5 times under a pressure of 100-120 mPa. Wherein, preparing modified nano cellulose aqueous dispersion liquid specifically comprises the following steps: the modified nano cellulose is added into water for dissolution, and is stirred at the rotating speed of 500-1000rpm until no caking exists. If the rotating speed is lower than 500rpm, the stirring is not uniform due to the too small rotating speed; if the rotation speed is higher than 1000rpm, it is difficult to secure safety due to the too high rotation speed. The modified nano cellulose is prepared into modified nano cellulose aqueous dispersion liquid by the steps, and the mass concentration of the modified nano cellulose aqueous dispersion liquid is 0.8-2%. If the mass concentration is less than 0.8%, the mass concentration is too low to affect the balance of the solid content and the like in the formula, so that the formula is difficult to implement; if the mass concentration is more than 2%, the mass concentration is too high to be uniformly dispersed.
Preparing carboxylated carbon nano-tubes into carboxylated carbon nano-tube aqueous dispersion liquid; in selecting carboxylated carbon nanotubes, carboxylated carbon nanotubes having a diameter of 5 to 70nm and a length of 2 to 40 μm may be selected, and are not particularly limited herein. Wherein, preparing carboxylated carbon nano tube aqueous dispersion liquid specifically comprises the following steps: stirring carboxylated carbon nanotubes at 500-800rpm, and dispersing in deionized water. If the rotating speed is lower than 500rpm, the stirring is difficult to be uniform due to the too low rotating speed; if the rotation speed is higher than 800rpm, it is difficult to secure safety due to the too high rotation speed. The carboxylated carbon nano tube is prepared into carboxylated carbon nano tube aqueous dispersion liquid, and the mass concentration of the carboxylated carbon nano tube aqueous dispersion liquid is 0.8-2%. If the mass concentration is less than 0.8%, the mass concentration is too low to affect the balance of the solid content and the like in the formula, so that the formula is difficult to implement; if the mass concentration is more than 2%, the mass concentration is too high to be uniformly dispersed.
Step three, compounding the modified nano cellulose aqueous dispersion obtained in the step one with the carboxylated carbon nano tube aqueous dispersion obtained in the step two in proportion, and keeping the mixture for 0.5 to 2 hours under the high-speed shearing condition to uniformly mix the mixture, so as to obtain modified nano cellulose and carboxylated carbon nano tube composite dispersion; the modified nano-cellulose aqueous dispersion and the carboxylated carbon nano-tube aqueous dispersion are compounded in proportion by controlling high-speed shearing conditions, wherein the high-speed shearing conditions are set as follows: 5000-12000rpm; if the rotation speed is less than 5000rpm, dispersion is difficult due to too low rotation speed; if the rotation speed is higher than 12000rpm, it is difficult to secure safety due to the too high rotation speed. The absolute mass ratio of the modified nano cellulose to the carboxylated carbon nanotube aqueous dispersion liquid is (1-4): 1, for example, may be 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, the total amount of both accounting for 0.8-2% of the total dispersion solid content (meaning that the total absolute dry mass of carboxylated carbon nanotubes and modified cellulose accounts for 0.8-2% of the total mass, if less than 0.8%, aerogel cannot be formed due to too low a ratio, and if more than 2%, aerogel prepared due to too high a mass concentration cannot form porous structure, and the structure is dense). If the absolute mass ratio of the modified nano cellulose aqueous dispersion to the carboxylated carbon nanotube aqueous dispersion is less than 1:1, aerogel cannot be formed due to too little nano cellulose content; if the absolute mass ratio of the nano cellulose aqueous dispersion to the carboxylated carbon nanotube aqueous dispersion is greater than 4:1, the aerogel has small pores due to too much nano cellulose, and a network structure cannot be formed for carrying out water molecule transportation so as to generate electricity.
Fourthly, standing the modified nano cellulose and carboxylated carbon nanotube composite dispersion liquid obtained in the third step for defoaming, freezing, taking out the modified nano cellulose and carboxylated carbon nanotube composite dispersion liquid after the modified nano cellulose and carboxylated carbon nanotube composite dispersion liquid are sufficiently frozen, soaking the modified nano cellulose and carboxylated carbon nanotube composite dispersion liquid in an absolute ethyl alcohol/metal salt solution, dissolving and crosslinking the modified nano cellulose and carboxylated carbon nanotube composite dispersion liquid to obtain wet gel; wherein the freezing process is performed in a plastic, rubber or metal container having a low temperature resistance of at least-80 ℃ because the freezing container needs to have a certain low temperature resistance to prevent deformation; the shape of the plastic, rubber or metal container is selected from one of various shapes such as a cylinder, a rectangular parallelepiped, etc., and the shape thereof is not particularly limited herein, but is required to be open. The freezing temperature is-80 ℃ to-20 ℃, samples below-20 ℃ can be rapidly frozen, the minimum temperature which can be set by a common ultralow temperature refrigerator is-80 ℃, and the sample can be hardly realized if the freezing temperature is lower than-80 ℃; the temperature of the absolute ethyl alcohol/metal salt solution is between minus 20 ℃ and minus 5 ℃, the absolute ethyl alcohol can form a solid state when being lower than minus 114.3 ℃, and the full thawing and crosslinking are required to be carried out under the condition of liquid state, so that the temperature is required to be higher than the solid state, and the lowest temperature of a laboratory ultralow temperature refrigerator is minus 80 ℃; the water contained in the frozen sample needs to be mixed with Fe in absolute ethanol 3+ Slowly proceeding solventIn the exchange and crosslinking processes, water becomes liquid at the temperature above 0 ℃, for example, the water in wet gel at the temperature above 0 ℃ is directly melted; therefore, the temperature of the refrigerator is required to be in the range of-20 ℃ to-5 ℃, and the temperature of a refrigerator commonly used in a laboratory is-20 ℃ to-0 ℃, if the refrigerator is lower than-20 ℃, the refrigerator is not easy to realize, and the energy consumption is high, and the refrigerator is set below-5 ℃ to control the thawing time so as to better crosslink. The thawing time is 60-84h, and if the thawing time is less than 60h, the thawing time is too short to be completely thawed; it can be completely thawed within 60-84h after test. The solute of the absolute ethyl alcohol/metal salt solution is selected from FeCl 3 、CuCl 2 、CaCl 2 、AlCl 3 And MgCl 2 The concentration of at least one of (C) is 0.5-2wt%, and the range of the interval is proper concentration which can reach complete structure and excellent performance after experimental trial. If the concentration is less than 0.5wt%, the degree of crosslinking is too small to form a complete structure due to the too low concentration. The type and the concentration of the metal ions are basically matched with the carboxyl content in the modified nanocellulose, so that the modified nanocellulose can form an excellent network structure with stable structure, and subsequent photovoltaic power generation is realized. The dissolving and crosslinking steps are as follows: the electrostatic complexing and crosslinking effect of metal ions and carboxyl is realized in the process of dissolution and solvent exchange.
And fifthly, flushing the wet gel obtained in the step four, and drying under normal pressure to obtain the nano cellulose composite aerogel with the porous orientation structure. The flushing is carried out by adopting absolute ethyl alcohol, the flushing times are multiple times, and the flushing is not finished until the washing liquid is colorless and transparent; the drying temperature is between room temperature and 120 ℃. Above 120 ℃, the energy consumption increases and the aerogel structure may be deformed by heating.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, there is also provided a nanocellulose composite aerogel prepared according to the aforementioned preparation method, which has an oriented porous structure. FIG. 2 is an SEM image of the nano-cellulose composite aerogel prepared in example 1 of the present invention, and it can be confirmed from the SEM image shown in FIG. 2 that the aerogel according to the technical scheme of the present invention is an oriented porous structure; FIG. 3 is a graph showing the contact angle test of the nano-cellulose composite aerogel prepared in example 1 of the present invention; according to the contact angle test chart shown in fig. 3, the aerogel in the technical scheme of the invention has extremely strong hydrophilicity; furthermore, by performing mechanical property test on the nanocellulose composite aerogel, according to fig. 4, 5a, 6a and 7, it can be shown that the aerogel according to the technical scheme of the invention has better mechanical property, wet strength and dimensional stability.

(1) Fixing the wires on the upper side and the lower side of the prepared nanocellulose composite aerogel by using a spot welding method through conductive silver paste, and drying and curing for 15-60min at 70-120 ℃; if the temperature of drying and curing is lower than 70 ℃, the drying and curing cannot be performed due to the fact that the temperature is too low; the temperature of a plurality of drying solidification is higher than 120 ℃, and the aerogel is not stable due to the over high temperature. If the drying and curing time is less than 15 minutes, the drying and curing time is too short to cure; if the drying and curing time is longer than 60 minutes, the aerogel is not stable easily due to overlong drying and curing time. The conductive wire may be at least one selected from copper foil, aluminum foil, iron foil, carbon wire and nickel foil. The method for fixing the conducting wires on the upper side and the lower side of the prepared nanocellulose composite aerogel by using a spot welding method through conductive silver paste specifically comprises the following steps: and placing the lead on the surfaces of the upper side and the lower side of the composite aerogel, and smearing conductive silver paste on the contact position of the lead and the composite aerogel.
(2) And placing the nano cellulose composite aerogel on a culture dish filled with water, so that the lower end is immersed in the water, and the upper end is not contacted with the water, thus obtaining the photovoltaic power generation device. According to the power generation principle, the lower end needs to be contacted with and absorb water, the upper end needs to evaporate water from the surface to generate continuous flow, so that ion directional transmission is realized, and output voltage is realized.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, there is also provided a photovoltaic power generation device fabricated according to the aforementioned fabrication method. Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of the electricity generation of the photovoltaic electricity generation device, in which hydrophilic hydroxyl groups and carboxyl groups are widely present in the composite aerogel, which is a porous structure, the aerogel is easily absorbed when contacting water, and when the bottom contacts water, water molecules are rapidly absorbed and rapidly climb along the pores of the aerogel, forming an Electric Double Layer (EDL) between water-solid interfaces and generating a flow potential. When the water molecules rise to a certain height in the nano channel, the pressure balance of the upper end and the lower end of the water flow is achieved. Water above the water level evaporates along the surface channels, creating a pressure differential across the fluid. The water inside the aerogel will rise to replenish the water evaporated from the surface. Meanwhile, the existence of hydroxyl and carboxyl on the surface of the aerogel enables the aerogel to have negative charge, water absorbed from the solution flows through a channel of the material, hydrogen protons in water molecules are combined with the hydroxyl and the carboxyl after absorbing the water, movable ions are formed in the channel, ion channels are formed through water flow and capillary action, continuous flow is generated, and directional ion transfer is realized, so that output voltage is realized.

As can be seen from fig. 13b, the cellulose of this comparative example was not carboxylated, and although the subsequent process was the same as example 1, it was not possible to form a porous aerogel of similar structural integrity to example 1 (see fig. 13 a). The nano cellulose can be self-assembled into a network structure layer by layer through hydroxyl groups on the surface when the nano cellulose is melted layer by layer, and metal ions can also permeate into the network structure, but the nano cellulose has no carboxyl group with negative charges on the surface, and cannot be complexed with the metal ions, so that a stable aerogel network structure cannot be formed, and the stable aerogel network structure can collapse in the subsequent process, which indicates the importance of carboxylated nano cellulose to the preparation of composite aerogel.

The comparative example, in which carboxylated carbon nanotubes were not added during the preparation of the composite aerogel, and the subsequent process was completely consistent with example 1, can form a porous aerogel with complete structure, but as can be seen from fig. 11, the output voltage test result of the composite aerogel of the comparative example is 250mv, and the output voltage of the aerogel is reduced compared with that of the aerogel in which carboxylated carbon nanotubes are added in the example. The addition of the carboxylated carbon nano-tube can influence the microstructure of the aerogel, the modified nano-cellulose prepared by a TEMPO oxidation method, an ammonium persulfate method and a potassium permanganate method is gel-like and has certain viscosity, the carboxylated carbon nano-tube is powdery, the stability and the strength of the aerogel structure are facilitated by the nano-cellulose, and the micro-pore channels of the aerogel can be changed by adding the carboxylated carbon nano-tube in different contents, so that the performance of the photovoltaic power generation is influenced.

As can be seen in FIG. 13c, in sharp contrast, the composite frozen sample of this comparative example did not incorporate metal ions during thawing and did not form a structurally complete porous aerogel. The method is characterized in that when the composite frozen sample is melted layer by layer, no metal ions can form complexation with carboxyl groups, a network structure cannot be formed, collapse occurs in the preparation process, and the cross-linking complexation of the metal ions on the composite aerogel is described, which is necessary for preparing the porous composite aerogel.

And (3) standing for defoaming, then placing a certain amount of the mixed solution into a cylindrical plastic beaker with the diameter of 4cm, putting the cylindrical plastic beaker into a refrigerator with the temperature of minus 80 ℃ for freezing for 5 hours, taking out the cylindrical plastic beaker after the cylindrical plastic beaker is frozen completely, and drying the cylindrical plastic beaker by a freeze drying method (freeze drying for 60 hours at the temperature of minus 45 ℃ by using a freeze dryer) to obtain the composite aerogel.
(2) Preparation of a photovoltaic power generation device: fixing the aluminum foil on the composite aerogel through conductive silver paste by utilizing a spot welding method to obtain the photovoltaic power generation device, wherein the method comprises the following specific steps of: two aluminum foils with the width of 0.5cm and the length of 15cm are respectively arranged on the surfaces of the upper side and the lower side of the composite aerogel, 0.5g of conductive silver paste is taken, the conductive silver paste is coated on the contact position of the two aluminum foils and the composite aerogel, the coating area is 0.5cm multiplied by 0.5cm, and the composite aerogel is dried in an oven at the temperature of 100 ℃ for 15min.
(3) Performance test of the photovoltaic power generation device: the method comprises the steps of placing a photovoltaic power generation device on a culture dish filled with water, immersing the lower electrode in the water, enabling the upper electrode not to contact with the water, enabling the device to generate continuous voltage along with capillary action and evaporation of the water through a micro-nano pore canal structure of composite aerogel, and testing the performance of output voltage of the photovoltaic power generation device by adopting an RLGOL DM3068 digital source meter.
As can be seen from fig. 13d, the composite aerogel of the comparative example, which was prepared by the freeze-drying method, can form a structurally complete aerogel structure similar to that of example 1, and its mechanical properties in a dry state are similar to those of example 1 (fig. 4), whereas the wet strength and dimensional stability of the composite aerogel prepared by the freeze-drying method of the comparative example are far inferior to those of example 1, and the composite aerogel of the comparative example, after being immersed in 20ml of water for 15min, is structurally soft and has collapsed in its internal structure (fig. 5 b), and after being mechanically stirred for the same degree and time as in example 1, the composite aerogel of the comparative example is broken and cannot be kept intact (fig. 6 b), and cannot be well applied to the subsequent photovoltaic power generation. The wet strength and the dimensional stability are key characteristics of the photovoltaic power generation device in subsequent applications, and can be attributed to the cross-linking complexation generated between the modified nanocellulose, the carboxylated carbon nanotubes and the metal ions, so that the composite aerogel forms an excellent structure.
As can be seen from the output voltage test, the composite aerogel of this comparative example has a reduced output voltage (see fig. 14), and has a severe collapse of the structure after one test and air drying, and does not have long-term stability, because although the freeze-drying method can form a porous network structure, which can be used as a channel for transporting water, sufficient water is provided during evaporation, but there is no cross-linking of metal ions, after water molecules enter the pore structure, the wet strength and mechanical stability of the aerogel are deteriorated, the internal pore structure collapses, breaks, and there is no water molecule transport channel, resulting in a smaller output voltage than the examples.
As can be seen from fig. 14, after the composite aerogel of this comparative example was subjected to the output voltage for 10 hours, the aerogel structure collapsed after natural air drying, and the output voltage could not be performed again, whereas compared with the composite aerogel of example 1, after the output voltage was performed for 10 hours, the dried aerogel structure remained intact, no significant recess occurred, and the cyclic output power generation of more than six times could be performed (see fig. 15).
From the test data of the above examples and comparative examples, it can be seen that each of the process steps of the present invention are endless rather than isolated. Only the technical steps in the technical scheme are included, and the technical purpose can be completely realized only by the sequential occurrence of the technical steps, so that the technical effect is achieved.
The technical features of the claims and/or the description of the present invention may be combined in a manner not limited to the combination of the claims by the relation of reference.
