Background
The supercapacitor is an electrochemical capacitor having a high power density (5-30 kW kg) compared to a lithium battery-1Charge cycle<1 minute), cycle life of more than 10 ten thousand times, good low-temperature performance and the like. However, the energy density of supercapacitors is low (5-8 Wh kg)-1) And the hybrid power battery automobile can not be used as an electric automobile energy source independently, and can only be used as auxiliary energy source to provide short-time power at present, such as a hybrid power fuel battery automobile which takes a super capacitor produced by Japan Honda and other companies as the auxiliary energy source.
In recent years, in order to further improve the energy density of a supercapacitor to replace a lithium battery, researchers have introduced high-power-density carbon nanomaterials (carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, graphene, and the like) and high-energy-density pseudocapacitive materials (such as transition metal oxide RuO)2,TiO2,MnO2And Fe3O4And conductive organic matters and the like) to achieve the level of lithium batteries.
However, the carbon nanomaterial supercapacitor still has the problems of large energy storage attenuation due to high-speed charge/discharge and poor cycle stability, and particularly under high and low temperature conditions, the electrolyte convection impact and conductivity reduction are accelerated to deteriorate. Therefore, the development of pseudocapacitive materials with high conductivity and high mechanical strength is urgently needed.
Titanium carbide has excellent chemical stability, high hardness, excellent oxidation/corrosion resistance and good electrical conductivity (10)5-106S/m, close to metal), becomes a potential candidate material for super capacitor electrodes,
the patent application CN110718402A discloses a flexible foldable super capacitor and a preparation method thereof, wherein a carbon nano tube macroscopic film is selected as a current collector, active substances are loaded on the surface of the current collector to construct a near-integrated composite electrode, the composite electrode is prepared by a coating method, electrostatic spinning, a liquid phase method and an electrochemical deposition method, and the active substances of the electrode adopt active carbon, graphene, conductive polymers and metal compounds; the metal compound includes titanium carbide; and then preparing the flexible foldable super capacitor through the processes of drying, cutting, welding, laminating, assembling, injecting liquid and packaging.
The method can take titanium carbide as an active substance, form slurry and then attach the slurry on the carbon nano tube macroscopic film. This structure is essentially a non-integral structure with adhesion. The structure is formed by bonding titanium carbide and a reinforcement body by conductive adhesive, and titanium carbide nano particles and the titanium carbide and the reinforcement body are connected by the adhesive, so that the transmission performance of ions between the particles and between a collector is greatly reduced; in addition, the cycle stability of the material is reduced due to the difference in the expansion coefficients of the phases.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to overcome the defects of the conventional carbon nano material super capacitor, and provides an unbonded integrated titanium carbide material which is a titanium carbide nanotube and titanium carbide matrix integrated composite structure.
The inventors believe that the development of pseudocapacitive materials with high conductivity and high mechanical strength must be accompanied by high surface area to provide more active sites. Therefore, carbon nanotube films and similar structures are introduced into supercapacitor materials, however, in the prior art, pseudocapacitance nanomaterials are attached to the surfaces of the carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube films, the capacitance is rapidly reduced due to multiphase changes of the pseudocapacitance materials and structural deformation and even disintegration caused by the multiphase changes of the pseudocapacitance materials, and meanwhile, the bonding of the pseudocapacitance nanomaterials and carbon nanostructure interfaces is weakened, so that the charge transfer efficiency is reduced, and particularly under high and low temperature conditions, the electrolyte convection impact and the reduction of the conductivity are accelerated to be deteriorated, so that the cycling stability of electrode materials is poor. In order to promote rapid transfer of ions and increase in the transport speed of electrons, the inventors thought that a non-binding integral structure having a high surface area to provide more active sites and high mechanical strength was necessary to promote rapid transfer of ions and transport of electrons.
