The invention relates to a preparation method of a
vanadium carbide nanosheet, which comprises the following steps: firstly, weighing
raw material powder according to the
molar ratio of V
powder to
Al powder to C
powder of 2:(1.0-1.2):1, mixing, and ball-milling in an
argon atmosphere to obtain
solid-phase powder; putting the
solid-phase powder into a self-propagating reaction kettle, carrying out a self-propagating reaction in an
argon atmosphere, crushing a
reaction product, carrying out ball milling in the
argon atmosphere, sieving the obtained powder material, taking the powder material of 300-500 meshes, adding the powder material into a
hydrofluoric acid solution, carrying out
etching while stirring, taking out the powder material after the
etching is finished, and washing the powder material with water to neutral to obtain the multilayer
vanadium carbide; finally, adding a
tetramethylammonium hydroxide solution with the
mass concentration of 25% for intercalation, and centrifugally collecting the
solid to obtain the
vanadium carbide nanosheet. The method is low in
energy consumption, safe, environment-friendly, simple and time-saving to operate and low in cost, and the prepared
vanadium carbide nanosheet is stable in performance and high in purity, can be used for a
supercapacitor electrode material and has good capacitive performance.
