Detailed Description
The present application will be described in further detail with reference to the drawings and examples, in order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the application.
The embodiment of the application provides a preparation method of lignite-derived carbon, which aims to solve the problems that the existing lignite-based derived carbon preparation technology cannot meet the requirements of derived carbon materials required by sodium ion batteries, has low specific capacity and low initial coulomb efficiency, and can be used for quickly and uniformly heating the whole coal particle materials by utilizing microwave irradiation through microwave drying and microwave pyrolysis treatment of lignite, eliminating heat transfer resistance, preventing local overheating and realizing the effective quality improvement of lignite; meanwhile, due to the fact that the dielectric loss factors of coal-based materials are different, the characteristic that selective heating of substances can be achieved through microwave heating is achieved, and removal and retention of specific substances are achieved through control of microwave temperature and time parameters, so that high-purity lignite-derived carbon is stably produced. In addition, when the lignite-derived carbon obtained by the method is applied to a sodium ion battery, high initial capacity, high initial coulombic efficiency and strong capacity stability can be provided.
Specifically, the preparation method of the lignite-derived carbon comprises the following steps:
carrying out microwave drying treatment on lignite powder to obtain dehydrated coal powder; the drying temperature is 60-150deg.C, and the drying time is 30-120min;
carrying out microwave pyrolysis treatment on the dehydrated coal dust, and calcining to obtain lignite-derived carbon; the pyrolysis temperature is 300-700 ℃, and the pyrolysis time is 30-240min.
In the embodiment of the application, the microwave drying process parameters (including the drying temperature and the drying time) have a significant influence on the yield and the electrochemical performance of the obtained lignite-derived carbon, the higher the drying temperature is, the longer the time is, the higher the carbon yield is and the better the electrochemical performance is, but when the drying temperature is higher than 120 ℃, the water in the lignite is further removed, but when the subsequent microwave pyrolysis treatment and calcination treatment are carried out, the mutual reaction impurity removal process of water molecules and impurities is restrained to a certain extent, so that the electrochemical performance of the lignite-derived carbon is reduced, therefore, the drying temperature is preferably 120 ℃, and the drying time is preferably 120min.
In the embodiment of the application, the microwave pyrolysis process parameters (including pyrolysis temperature and pyrolysis time) have obvious influence on the yield and electrochemical performance of the obtained lignite-derived carbon, and the quality of the lignite-derived carbon is gradually reduced along with the rise of the pyrolysis time and the pyrolysis temperature, and the reduced quality is mainly caused by the decomposition of free acid and low-molecular fatty chain substances; when the free acid and the fatty chain substance are lost, the carbon yield tends to be stable, and the electrochemical performance of the sodium ion battery is improved, wherein the improvement is caused by the loss of a huge amount of defects caused by the free acid, and the coulombic efficiency is improved; when the pyrolysis temperature is too low, impurities such as free acid in dehydrated coal dust cannot be removed well, a large number of defects are generated finally, sodium ions can be well embedded (specific capacity is high), but coulomb efficiency is low (generated SEI film) and commercial application cannot be met; when the pyrolysis temperature is too high, impurities such as free acid in dehydrated coal dust can be further removed and even completely removed, and in the case, the blockage of impurity elements to graphitization is absent, so that the coal dust is sintered into graphitized soft carbon, sodium ions cannot be effectively embedded, the capacity of a sodium ion battery is reduced, and the coulomb efficiency is also reduced. Accordingly, the pyrolysis temperature is preferably 300℃and the pyrolysis time is preferably 120 to 180 minutes. More preferably, the pyrolysis time is preferably 120min.
In the embodiment of the application, in the microwave drying treatment and the microwave pyrolysis treatment, the microwave output frequency is 0.433 GHz-2.45 GHz. The microwave output frequency is mainly three kinds of frequencies of 0.433GHz/0.915GHz/2.45GHz in industry, and the main influence of the microwave output frequency is as follows: the high microwave output frequency (2.45 GHz) can enable the microwave heating speed to be higher and the response speed to be higher; the small microwave output frequency (0.433 GHz/0.915 GHz) is slow in heating speed, but the penetration depth is large, so that the low microwave output frequency is selected for large materials. The application uses lignite powder (particle size is 100-500 meshes), so that the microwave output frequency is preferably 2.45GHz, and the microwave frequency can rapidly remove impurity components and improve the production efficiency.

TABLE 1 influence of Brown coal derived carbon preparation and application on sodium ion batteries under different microwave drying process parameters (temperature and time)
From table 1, it is clear that the higher the temperature and the longer the time, the lower the quality of the brown coal after drying, and the higher the carbon yield, because the moisture gradually volatilizes and the lower the water content, and the lower the loss of the substance by the reaction between carbon and water during the subsequent high-temperature calcination, and the higher the carbon yield. In addition, when the moisture in the lignite is regulated and controlled, the performance of the sodium ion battery is fluctuated and bent, which shows that the existence of the moisture in the lignite has a certain influence on the production of lignite-derived carbon, and the higher the moisture content is, the lower the coulomb efficiency is. This example shows that when dried at 120 ℃ for 120min, the lignite is able to obtain better performance and the cell exhibits higher initial specific capacity. When the drying temperature is further increased (> 120 ℃), water in the lignite is further removed, but when the subsequent steps are pyrolyzed and sintered, the mutual reaction of water molecules and impurities and impurity removal steps are suppressed to a certain extent; meanwhile, the temperature is higher, and the production cost is also higher.

According to mass ratio 94:1.5:1.5:3, preparing slurry by using lignite derived carbon, carbon black, CMC and SBR, and coating the slurry on a copper foil to obtain a derived carbon pole piece; and taking the derivative carbon pole piece as a negative electrode of the sodium ion battery, and assembling the battery in a glove box filled with argon, wherein the derivative carbon pole piece, glass fiber and sodium piece are respectively used as a working electrode, a diaphragm and a counter electrode. A conventional electrolyte (100 μl) was added to each cell. The conventional electrolyte is a mixed solvent of EC and DMC (1:1, v/v). After completion of the assembly, the test was carried out at a rate of 0.1C for 8 hours at a rest time of 25℃and a charge-discharge cycle was carried out between 0.01V and 2.5V, and the corresponding test results are shown in Table 2.
TABLE 2 influence of Brown coal derived carbon preparation and application on sodium ion batteries at different microwave pyrolysis process parameters (temperature and time)
From Table 2, it can be seen that as pyrolysis time and pyrolysis temperature rise, the quality gradually declines, and the decline quality is mainly caused by decomposition of free acid and low-molecular fatty chain substances; when free acid and fatty chain materials are lost, the carbon yield tends to be stable, and the electrochemical performance of the sodium ion battery is improved. The reason for the improvement is that the mass defect caused by the free acid is lost, and the coulomb efficiency is improved; when the pyrolysis temperature is too low, impurities such as free acid in dehydrated coal dust cannot be removed well, a large number of defects are generated finally, sodium ions can be well embedded (specific capacity is high), but coulomb efficiency is low (generated SEI film) and commercial application cannot be met; when the pyrolysis temperature is too high, impurities such as free acid in dehydrated coal dust can be further removed and even completely removed, and in the case, the obstruction of impurity elements to graphitization is absent, so that the coal dust is sintered into graphitized soft carbon, sodium ions cannot be effectively embedded, therefore, the capacity of a sodium ion battery is reduced, and the coulomb efficiency is also reduced.
Comparative example 1: preparation of lignite-derived carbon without microwave drying and application of lignite-derived carbon to sodium ion battery
1) Ball milling 50g of lignite in a mechanical ball mill to obtain pulverized coal, wherein the particle size of the pulverized coal is 100-500 meshes;
2) Placing the pulverized coal obtained in the step 1) in a microwave sintering furnace for pyrolysis under an argon atmosphere to obtain purified pulverized coal, wherein the weight of the purified pulverized coal is 14g, and the pyrolysis parameters are as follows: microwave output frequency: 2.45GHz, pyrolysis temperature: pyrolysis time is 120min at 300 ℃; the pyrolysis atmosphere is argon;
3) And (3) heating the purified coal powder obtained in the step (2) to 1500 ℃ under the argon atmosphere, carbonizing for 2 hours to obtain lignite derived carbon, wherein the weight of the lignite derived carbon is 10g.
SEM morphology observation is carried out on the lignite derived carbon prepared in comparative example 1, and the test results are shown in FIG. 4.
According to mass ratio 94:1.5:1.5:3, preparing slurry by using lignite derived carbon, carbon black, CMC and SBR, and coating the slurry on a copper foil to obtain a derived carbon pole piece; and taking the derivative carbon pole piece as a negative electrode of the sodium ion battery, and assembling the battery in a glove box filled with argon, wherein the derivative carbon pole piece, glass fiber and sodium piece are respectively used as a working electrode, a diaphragm and a counter electrode. A conventional electrolyte (100 μl) was added to each cell. The conventional electrolyte is a mixed solvent of EC and DMC (1:1, v/v). After the assembly is completed and the material is static for 8 hours at 25 ℃, when the material is subjected to charge-discharge circulation between 0.01V and 2.5V at the rate of 0.1C, the initial discharge specific capacity can reach 298.71mAh/g, and the initial cycle coulomb efficiency is 54.2 percent (as shown in figure 5).
From the above results, it can be seen that comparative example 1 was not subjected to the microwave drying for water removal, and the brown coal-derived carbon yield was lowered due to volatilization of gas-forming substances generated by the reaction of water with the carbon component of the pulverized coal at high temperature. At the same time, battery performance is also affected.

2) Placing the coal powder obtained in the step 1) into a blast drying box for pretreatment to obtain dehydrated coal powder, wherein the weight of the dehydrated coal powder is 41g; the pretreatment method comprises the following steps: drying temperature: drying at 120deg.C for 120min;
3) Placing the dehydrated coal powder obtained in the step 2) into a microwave sintering furnace for pyrolysis under a certain atmosphere to obtain purified coal powder, wherein the weight of the purified coal powder is 21g, and the pyrolysis parameters are as follows: microwave output frequency: 2GHz, pyrolysis temperature: pyrolysis time is 120min at 300 ℃; the pyrolysis atmosphere is argon;
4) And (3) heating the purified coal powder obtained in the step (3) to 1500 ℃ under argon atmosphere, carbonizing for 2 hours to obtain lignite derived carbon, wherein the weight of the lignite derived carbon is 12g.
SEM morphology observation is carried out on the lignite derived carbon prepared in comparative example 2, and the test results are shown in FIG. 6.
According to mass ratio 94:1.5:1.5:3, preparing slurry by using lignite derived carbon, carbon black, CMC and SBR, and coating the slurry on a copper foil to obtain a derived carbon pole piece; and taking the derivative carbon pole piece as a negative electrode of the sodium ion battery, and assembling the battery in a glove box filled with argon, wherein the derivative carbon pole piece, glass fiber and sodium piece are respectively used as a working electrode, a diaphragm and a counter electrode. A conventional electrolyte (100 μl) was added to each cell. The conventional electrolyte is a mixed solvent of EC and DMC (1:1, v/v). After the assembly is completed and the material is static for 8 hours at 25 ℃, when the material is subjected to charge-discharge circulation between 0.01V and 2.5V at the rate of 0.1C, the initial discharge specific capacity can reach 278.23mAh/g, and the initial cycle coulomb efficiency is 79 percent (as shown in figure 7).
From the above results, it can be seen that comparative example 2 has a problem of insufficient drying degree, insufficient uniformity of heating, incomplete water removal, and gas loss by reaction with the pulverized coal carbon component in the subsequent reaction, compared with the microwave drying treatment by the thermal drying treatment. Therefore, the carbon yield decreases, and the battery performance deteriorates.
