摘要:

采用同源金属V2CFx MXene作为前驱体制备了三氧化二钒@多孔碳(V2O3@porous carbon,V2O3@PC)纳米片作为电容去离子(CDI)阳极,研究其脱盐特性。实验探究了在不同在碳化温度下V2O3@PC的结构、结晶度、润湿性、石墨化程度和电化学特性。研究表明,所制备的V2O3@PC呈现出典型的2D纳米片结构,高结晶度的V2O3纳米颗粒被高石墨化度的PC牢牢束缚。这种结构具有良好的界面润湿性和高导电性,因而可以促进电解质的渗透,加速界面电荷的转移以并促进盐离子的传输和扩散。此外,PC也能较好的抑制V2O3在多次循环后的体积膨胀。电化学结果表明,V的可逆电化学转化在一定程度上提高了Na+的储存。当电压为1.2 V时,NaCl电导率为1000 μS·cm−1时,优化后的V2O3@PC电极具有高达2.20 mmol∙g−1的脱盐容量,0.13 mmol∙g−1∙min−1的脱盐速率,62%的水回收率以及24.0 Wh∙m−3的低能耗。

Abstract:

Capacitive deionization (CDI) has been considered one of the most promising desalination technologies in the past decade. However, it faces challenges related to low salt removal efficiency in high salinity water. To address this issue, ion intercalation materials have been developed as anodes for CDI due to their abundant electroactive sites capable of accommodating large salty ions. V2O3, a typical intercalation host, has garnered significant attention in the field of metal-ion batteries and appears to be a suitable candidate for CDI. Nevertheless, structural instability and slow ion diffusion, resulting from large volume expansion and low intrinsic electron/ion conductivity, present obstacles to its commercial application. Given their high specific surface area, abundant ion diffusion channels, and excellent conductivity, derivatives of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have become highly attractive in the electrochemical research community. In this study, 2D V2O3@porous carbon (V2O3@PC) nanosheets were prepared using homologous metal V2CFx MXene as a precursor for CDI anodes, aiming to enhance salt removal capacity. The structure, crystallinity, wettability, graphitization degree, and electrochemical behavior of V2O3@PC were investigated by adjusting carbonization temperatures. The findings reveal that V2O3@PC exhibits a typical 2D nanosheet structure, with highly crystalline V2O3 nanoparticles securely enveloped by graphitized PC. The electronic coupling between PC and V2O3 ensures high electron conductivity. This unique structure demonstrates excellent interfacial wettability and high conductivity, facilitating electrolyte penetration, accelerating interfacial charge transfer, and enhancing salt ion diffusion. Additionally, the PC effectively restricts the volume expansion of V2O3. Moreover, reversible electrochemical conversion between V3+/V4+ contributes to Na+ storage, aiding the desalination/regeneration process. Notably, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed the preferential growth of V2O3 crystal planes at different carbonization temperatures. Consequently, the optimized V2O3@PC-850 electrode exhibits remarkable desalination performance, including a desalination capacity of 2.20 mmol·g−1, desalination rate of 0.13 mmol·g−1·min−1, water recovery rate of 62%, and energy consumption of 24.0 Wh·m−3 at 1.2 V in 1000 μS·cm−1 NaCl solutions. Compared to V2O3@PC-750 and V2O3@PC-950, the superior performance of V2O3@PC-850 can be attributed to its enhanced interfacial wettability, which promotes charge transfer and improves salt ion diffusion kinetics. Additionally, the preferential growth of the (110) crystal plane in V2O3@PC-850 enhances ion storage capacity, contributing to its superior desalination performance. This study offers new insights into the synergistic enhancement of electrochemical ion removal characteristics through the utilization of metal oxide and carbon nanomaterials.
