Background technology
2004, Univ Manchester UK physicist An Deliehaimu and Constantine's Nuo Woxiao love,
Successfully from graphite, isolate Graphene in experiment, and confirm that it can be with individualism, because two people are in " two-dimensional graphene material
The initiative experiment of material ", jointly obtains Nobel Prize in physics in 2010, has pulled open the prelude of Graphene preparation.Graphene is
Another important material with carbon element after fullerene and CNT.Graphene is the cellular hexagonal being formed by monolayer carbon atom arrangement
Planar crystal, carbon atom is with sp2Form hydridization.The surface area of Graphene is up to 2630m2/ g, is SWNT
Twice;Under room temperature, electron mobility is more than 200000cm2/ v s is higher than monocrystal silicon;Heat conductivity is up to 5300w/m k,
Higher than diamond;Resistivity only has 10-6ω cm, similar with silver;Single-layer graphene is almost fully transparent, and every layer only absorbs
2.3% light;Graphene is the thinnest in the world at present, and nano material the strongest, its intensity, up to 1000gpa, is steel
200 times.These excellent characteristics of Graphene make its gas sensor, opto-electronic device, chemical energy source (solaode,
Lithium ion battery), catalyst, the field such as antistatic there is huge potential application.
In actual application, graphene sheet layer is susceptible to assemble, and the performance of impact Graphene performance therefore generally will
In organic solvent or aqueous surfactant solution, solvent molecule or surfactant molecule adsorb in Graphene graphene dispersion
Surface on, rely on intermolecular force or electrostatic repulsion forces, realize the Monolayer Dispersion of Graphene.Homogeneous, stable dispersion liquid
It is the essential condition in various fields application and research for the Graphene, but the concentration of the graphene dispersing solution of current report is all relatively low,
Limit the industrialized development of Graphene.
At present, the main method of graphene dispersing solution has: directly by the mixed liquor of Graphene or Graphene and surface activity
Ultrasonic disperse under the water bath condition of ultrasound wave.For example, jonathan n.coleman (umar khan, arlene o '
Neill, mustafa lotya, sukanta de, jonathan n.coleman.high-concentration solvent

In N-methyl ketopyrrolidine (nmp), using ultrasonic echography 460h, obtain graphene dispersing solution, its concentration is 3.3mg ml-1.
The graphene dispersing solution concentration that this method obtains is low, and long for multi-layer graphene piece, process time, seriously limits Graphene
Actual demand.Dan li (dan li, marc b.m ü ller, scott gilje, richard b.kaner, gordon

Nanotechnology, 2008,3,101-105.) etc. researcher is by graphene oxide water solution a certain amount of hydrazine hydrate and ammonia
95 DEG C of reduction 1h of aqueous solution, obtaining concentration is 0.5mg ml-1Graphene dispersing solution, the graphene dispersing solution that this method obtains
Concentration is low, stability is poor it is impossible to meet the various demands of industry.On the whole, the preparation cost of existing graphene dispersing solution is relatively
Height, constrains the industrialization process of Graphene.Further, since the aggregation of graphene sheet layer, existing business-like Graphene
In dispersion liquid, graphene sheet layer is multilamellar and exists it is difficult to obtain the graphene dispersing solution of monolayer.
Cn104151582 provides a kind of preparation method of Graphene-polyimides conduction black film, first expanded graphite is entered
Row reexpansion obtains reexpansion graphite, and reexpansion graphite and the mixing of black filler dispersion liquid carry out ultrasonic stripping to it
From the dispersion liquid obtaining Graphene and black filler, this dispersion liquid can be cast on a glass in preparations such as addition diamine monomers
Material.Employ reexpansion preparing graphite alkene in the method, but, the stone being produced by the way of ultrasonic stripping
Black alkene dispersion liquid mobility is preferably it may also be said to concentration is relatively low, and cannot prove that Graphene is that monolayer exists.
Cn102942177 provides a kind of preparation method of graphene film, and expansible graphite is carried out thermal expansion and is processed into by (1)
Quasiflake graphite, then carried out ultrasonic disperse and obtained micro-nano Graphene with being placed in solvent after alkaline solution immersion, sucking filtration, washing
