Technical field
The invention belongs to technical field of electronic materials, more particularly to a kind of flexible electrode preparation method based on graphene.
Background technology
Bidimensional (2D) cycle honeycomb lattice structure that graphene is made up of carbon hexatomic ring, theoretical specific surface area is up to
2600m2/ g, with prominent heat conductivility (3000W/ (mK)) and mechanical property (1060GPa), and at room temperature at a high speed
Electron mobility (15000cm2/(V·s)).The special two-dimensional structure of graphene, makes it have perfect quantum tunneling effect
Should, the electrical conductivity that never disappears, a series of properties such as flexible, cause the huge interest of scientific circles, graphene just starts one
The upsurge of stock research.
Graphene is most thin, the most hard nano material in known world, and it is almost fully transparent, only absorbs 2.3%
Light;Thermal conductivity factor is up to 5300 W/mK, higher than CNT and diamond, and its electron mobility is more than 15000 under normal temperature
cm2/ Vs, but it is higher than CNT or silicon crystal, and resistivity about 10-8Ω m, it is lower than copper or silver, it is world resistance
The minimum material of rate.Because its resistivity is extremely low, the speed of electron transfer is exceedingly fast, therefore is expected to can be used to develop thinner, conduction
Speed faster electronic component or transistor of new generation.Because graphene is substantially a kind of transparent, good conductor, it also is adapted for
For manufacturing transparent touch screen, even tabula rasa, solar cell.
Graphene relies on its excellent electricity, mechanics and thermal property, is widely used in various fields, it is thereby achieved that its
On a large scale, inexpensive synthesis is significant.At present, the preparation method of graphene mainly includes micromechanics stripping method, changed
Vapour deposition process, epitaxial growth method and oxidation-reduction method are learned, and oxidation-reduction method is relatively low because of cost, is widely used in graphene
Large-scale production.The basic procedure of oxidation-reduction method is:First by graphite oxidation, pass through the carbon atom in graphite between layers
It is upper to introduce oxygen-containing functional group and increase spacing, and then weaken the interaction of interlayer;Then to graphite oxide(Alkene)Reduced.
With the progressively breakthrough of the problems such as mass production and large scale, the commercial application paces of graphene add
Hurry up, based on current existing achievement in research, the field that commercial applications are realized at first may be mobile device, Aero-Space,
New energy field of batteries.
Flexible screen gets most of the attention in consumer electronics show, the development trend as following mobile device display screen.It is flexible
Show that future market is wide, based on the graphene prospect of material be also expected.It data show the whole world in 2013 to mobile phone
The demand of touch-screen is probably at 9.65 hundred million.By 2015, panel computer was also up to 2.3 to the demand of large scale touch-screen
Hundred million, wide market is provided for the application of graphene.The researcher of Samsung of South Korea has also been produced by multilayer stone
The transparent flexible display screen of the materials such as black alkene composition, it is believed that extensive commercial within sight.
On the other hand, new energy battery is also a graphene big key areas commercial earliest.Masschusetts, U.S.A science and engineering before
Institute has successfully developed the flexible photovoltaic battery plate that surface has graphene nano figure layer, can greatly reduce manufacture transparent variable
The cost of shape solar cell, this battery is possible to apply in the small size digital equipment such as night vision goggles, camera.In addition, graphite
The successful research and development of alkene superbattery, the problem of also solving off-capacity and the long charging interval of new energy car battery, pole
The big development for accelerating new energy battery industry.This series of achievement in research is application of the graphene in new energy battery industry
Paving is with regard to road.
Due to characteristics such as high conductivity, high intensity, ultra-thins, graphene is also pole in the application advantage of space flight military industry field
To be prominent.Not long ago U.S. NASA developed the graphene sensor applied to space industry, just can be high to the earth well
Micro-, spaceborne structural defect of empty atmosphere etc. is detected.And graphene is in ultra light aircraft material etc.
Also prior effect will be played in potential application.
Ultracapacitor, also known as electrochemical capacitor, play the role of and its important in energy storage.Super capacitor utensil
The features such as having high power density, long service life, and have many potential applications in portable, it is suitable for
Mixed power electric car and implantable medical device etc..In recent years, increasing research concern ultracapacitor was used as storage
Can device, the application in different modern devices.One preferable flexible ultracapacitor, should be provided simultaneously with good
Pliability and excellent mechanical strength, and powerful electrochemistry ability;The flexible electrode prepared with graphene obviously can be very
Good meets its demand.Flexible electrode is the core component of ultracapacitor, and newest research shows that graphene is soft as preparing
Property electrode ideal material, be not only due to its structure, mechanical performance and electrical property, and it has very high access surface product.
Research shows that the flexible electrode prepared with graphene, its chemical property is more much lower than expected performance;That is, practice
The capacitance for the graphene flexible electrode produced, although can also substantially meet the use demand of ultracapacitor, still,
Its actual capacitance is more much smaller than the capacitance of theory expectation.
At present, the preparation on graphene, and the patent document of the flexible electrode based on graphene are many, still
There is problems with:
1st, oxidation-reduction method is applied to the production in enormous quantities of graphene.In oxidation-reduction process, conventional reducing agent has
Hydrazine hydrate, sodium borohydride etc., the use of hydrazine can cause the introducing of hetero atom nitrogen, and sodium borohydride is expensive and easily causes water
Solve the generation of accessory substance.In addition, simple electronation can not remove graphite oxide(Alkene)In whole oxygen-containing functional groups for containing.
2nd, in actual applications, graphene often tends to irreversible reunion or stacking due to its hydrophobicity, so as to lose
Original excellent properties.Although graphene can be by strengthening its stably dispersing in other molecules of its surface graft or polymer
Property, but can cause graphene that there is poor electric conductivity, while the dead volume of electrode material is also increased, therefore its electrochemistry
Performance is limited by very large among practical application.It is in the existing flexible electrode based on graphene, its preparation process
The dispersiveness and viscosity of solution are improved, portions additive can be added thereto, this undoubtedly reduces the electric conductivity of graphene,
And make it that technological process becomes complicated.
3rd, the graphene prepared using chemical gaseous phase depositing process is because graphene growth is in substrates such as metal substrates
Surface, therefore practical application is that graphene film must be transferred to required substrate surface.Conventional transfer method is in stone
Black alkene surface prepares a supporting layer, and metal substrate is dissolved afterwards, the supporting layer for carrying graphene then is transferred into target substrate
Surface, finally removes supporting layer.There are a large amount of shortcomings in the transfer method, such as:A large amount of wastes of metal substrate are caused, supporting layer is difficult
It is clean to remove, cause the pollution of graphene, it is difficult to a large amount of productions.
These above-mentioned shortcomings can influence the electric conductivity of graphene flexible electrode so that the electricity of graphene flexible electrode
Chemical property is more much lower than expected performance.
