    基于植物组织学视角的玉米秸秆衍生多孔碳结构调控与储氢性能

    Structure regulation and hydrogen storage performance of corn stover-derived porous carbon based on plant histological perspective

    • 摘要: 重点研究了玉米秸秆中叶片、茎皮和茎髓等衍生多孔生物碳材料的制备和储氢性能。以植物组织学与材料结构演化的交叉视角切入,创新性地提出了基于植物组织部位差异的前驱体调控策略,系统揭示了原料部位特性在决定生物质碳材料结构生成与储氢表现中的核心作用。通过对组成差异与微观结构、孔隙特征及吸附行为的逐层关联,阐明了前驱体部位对材料性能的深度影响机制,为构建“原料—结构—性能”构效关系提供了理论支撑。结果表明:原料部位差异在孔隙结构的形成机制中发挥关键作用。茎髓因其高半纤维素、低木质素的化学组成,更易在活化过程中形成高度无序、易刻蚀的碳骨架,最终构筑出比表面积为 3 723.8 m2/g、微孔体积为 1.57 cm3/g 的发达微孔网络,孔径集中于 0.7~1.0 nm 的理想储氢区间,表现出显著的结构优势。在此结构优势作用下,该材料在 77 K 下实现 4.12% 的最大储氢容量,并在 5.0 MPa 压力下进一步提升至 5.54%。相比之下,叶片与茎皮衍生碳材料由于木质素含量差异,孔隙发育程度与储氢性能存在一定差别。通过玉米秸秆不同部位化学组成与材料微观结构的系统考察,揭示了前驱体原料特性对多孔碳储氢的调控机制,说明微孔体积及孔径分布是影响低温储氢容量的关键因素。该研究为农业废弃物高值化利用及高性能储氢多孔碳材料的设计构筑提供了新思路与理论依据。

       

      Abstract: The preparation and hydrogen storage performance of porous biochar materials derived from different anatomical parts of corn stalks—namely leaf, stem bark, and stem pith—are investigated. From an interdisciplinary perspective integrating plant histology and material structure evolution, an innovative precursor regulation strategy based on plant tissue differences is proposed, systematically revealing the pivotal role of raw material tissue characteristics in determining the structural development and hydrogen storage performance of biomass-derived carbon materials. Through a stepwise correlation established between compositional differences, microstructure, pore characteristics, and adsorption behavior, the profound influence mechanism of precursor tissue type on material properties is clarified, providing theoretical support for constructing a clear "precursor–structure–performance" relationship. The results demonstrate that the tissue origin of the raw material plays a key role in the pore formation mechanism. Owing to its chemical composition characterized by high hemicellulose and low lignin content, the stem pith facilitates the formation of a highly disordered and easily etchable carbon framework during activation. This ultimately leads to the construction of a well-developed microporous network with a specific surface area of 3 723.8 m2/g and a micropore volume of 1.57 cm3/g, where pore sizes are concentrated in the ideal range of 0.7–1.0 nm for hydrogen storage, demonstrating significant structural advantages. Benefiting from this optimized structure, a maximum hydrogen storage capacity of 4.12% is achieved at 77 K, which is further enhanced to 5.54% under 5.0 MPa pressure. In contrast, the leaf- and bark-derived carbon materials show relatively lower pore development and hydrogen storage performance due to differences in lignin content. Through a systematic investigation of the chemical composition of different corn stalk tissues and the resultant material microstructures, the regulatory mechanism of precursor characteristics on the hydrogen storage performance of porous carbons is revealed, indicating that micropore volume and pore size distribution are key factors influencing low-temperature hydrogen storage capacity. This work provides new insights and a theoretical foundation for the high-value utilization of agricultural waste and the design of high-performance porous carbon materials for hydrogen storage.
