マンガン系電極材料の脱塩性能を向上(Researchers Improve Desalination Performance of Manganese-Based Electrode Material)

中国科学院合肥物質科学研究院の王国忠教授らは、ハイブリッド容量性脱イオン(HCDI)による淡水化・硬水軟化性能を高めるため、ニッケルを添加したマンガン系プルシアンブルー類似体(MnHCF)とカーボンナノチューブ(CNT)の複合電極を開発した。MnHCFは電気伝導性が低く、イオンの挿入・脱離を繰り返すと構造が不安定化する課題がある。そこで、Ni–N結合による構造安定化・イオン輸送促進と、CNTによる導電ネットワーク形成を組み合わせた。ワンステップ共沈法で作製した電極は高い脱塩性能を示し、40サイクル後も容量の98.72%を維持した。またCa²⁺、Mg²⁺を選択的に除去し、硬水軟化への応用可能性も示された。水処理用電極材料の安定性と性能を同時に改善する手法として期待される。

Abstract

The substitution of transition metals and construction of conductive skeleton to improve the stability and conductivity were studied for high-efficiency hybrid capacitive deionization (HCDI). Herein, the carbon nanotubes composite nickel-doped manganese hexacyanoferrate three-dimensional material (MNHCF@CNT) with multiple redox electron pairs and high-speed ion transport channels was successfully synthesized by a one-step co-precipitation method. The synthesized MNHCF@CNT material exhibited high specific capacitance, low charge transfer resistance and excellent electrochemical stability. What is more, it achieved a high salt adsorption capacity of 71.28 mg g−1, ultrahigh maximum salt adsorption rate of 31.89 mg g−1 min−1, and maintained 98.72 % of maximum salt adsorption capacity after 40 cycles. This exceptional HCDI performance primarily stems from the formation of robust Ni-N bonds via Ni substitution in MnHCF, improving the structural stability and ion diffusion kinetics. Meanwhile, efficient electron transport pathways are established through carbon nanotubes to suppress the volume expansion during the ion insertion/extraction process, thus improving the conductivity, ion storage capacity and cycle stability of the material. This work delivers actionable insights into the design of stable and highly efficient PBAs electrodes, critical for next-generation desalination technologies and hard water softening systems.
