铁辅助的木质生物炭电化学石墨化和管状化及其在储能中的应用:多尺度机理研究与结构调控

摘要: 熔盐电解石墨化工艺为生物质资源电化学转化为高附加值石墨化碳提供了一种高效环保的路径。但存在反应动力学缓慢、结构调控困难等问题。本研究报道了低温下,熔盐CaCl2中,铁助力的石墨化和管化的过程和机理。结果表明,在Fe的辅助下,可显著提升石墨化速度,缩短反应时间,降低能耗。同时,Fe还能诱导产物形貌从单一片状结构向管–片杂化结构的演变。从实验和模拟多尺度分析揭示了Fe促进的脱氧反应动力学和脱氧路径,Fe调控的碳环定向生长构建管-片复合结构的机制。作为锂离子电池负极材料,石墨化碳表现出336.37 mAh·g−1 (1 C)的比容量。电化学耦合Fe催化协同策略为劣质含碳固废(如木质生物炭)的高值化利用提供了合理的途径。

 

Fe-assisted electrochemical graphitization and tubulation of woody biochar for energy storage: Multiscale mechanistic investigation and structural regulation

Abstract: Molten salt electrolytic graphitization is an efficient and green pathway for the electrochemical conversion of biomass resources into high-value-added graphitized carbon. However, this process exhibits poor reaction kinetics and difficult structural modulation. In this paper, we report the process and mechanism of graphitization and tubulation of Fe-assisted molten salt CaCl2 at low temperatures. Experimental results showed that Fe assistance significantly enhanced the graphitization rate, shortened the reaction time, and reduced the energy consumption. Fe also induced the evolution of the product morphology from a sheet structure to a tube–sheet hybrid structure. Experimental and simulated multiscale analyses revealed the kinetics of the Fe-promoted deoxygenation reaction and its pathway, as well as the mechanism of Fe-regulated directed growth of carbon rings to construct tube–sheet composite structures. The resulting graphitized carbon exhibited a specific capacity of 336.37 mAh·g−1 (1 C) when used as a negative electrode for lithium-ion batteries. This electrochemically coupled Fe-catalyzed synergistic strategy provides a rational pathway for the high-value utilization of low-quality carbon-containing solid waste (e.g., woody biochar).
