Description

In conjunction with the metal foil film current collector of graphene oxide
Cross reference to related applications
This application claims the preferential of the U.S. Patent Application No. 15/231486 and 15/231498 submitted on the 8th of August in 2016 The application is incorporated herein by power by quoting mode.
Technical field
The present invention provides a kind of for lithium battery or the collector of supercapacitor.The collector is combined with by oxygen The metal foil of the graphene oxide film of graphite alkene gel production.It is electrolyte-that this, which combines the thin metal foil of graphene oxide, It is compatible, non-reacted, etch-proof, contact resistance is low, thermal conductivity, it is ultra-thin and light-weight so that battery Or capacitor is capable of providing higher output voltage, higher energy density, high magnification ability and much longer circulation longevity Life.
Background technique
Present patent application is related to a kind of collector, and the collector and lithium cell are (for example, lithium-ion electric core, lithium-metal electricity Core or lithium-ion capacitor), supercapacitor, non-lithium battery (such as zinc-air battery core, nickel metal hydride battery, sodium ion Battery core and magnesium ion battery core) and other electrochemical energy storage battery cores anode electrode (anode active material layers) or cathode Electrode (cathode active material) works together.The application is not related to anode active material layers or cathode active material itself.
Lithium-metal battery core includes conventional lithium-metal rechargeable battery core (for example, using lithium foil as anode and making Use MnO2Particle is as active material of cathode), lithium-air battery core (Li- air), lithium-sulphur battery core (Li-S) and emerging lithium- Graphene battery core (Li- graphene, use graphene film as active material of cathode), (Li-CNT makes lithium-carbon nanotube battery core Use CNT as cathode) and lithium-nano-sized carbon battery core (Li-C, use carbon nano-fiber or other nano-carbon materials as yin Pole).Anode and/or cathode active material can contain some lithiums, or can before battery core assembling prelithiation or later Prelithiation immediately.
Rechargable lithium ion (Li ion), lithium metal, lithium-sulphur and Li metal-air battery are considered as electronic The promising electricity of vehicle (EV), hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) and portable electronic device (such as laptop computer and mobile phone) Source.With as active material of positive electrode any other metal or metal-intercalation compound (in addition to Li4.4Si has 4, The specific capacity of 200mAh/g) it compares, the lithium as metallic element has highest lithium storage volume (3,861mAh/g).Therefore, In general, Li metal battery (with lithium anodes) is with being significantly higher than traditional lithium-ion battery (with graphite anode) Energy density.
In history, rechargeable lithium metal battery be using the non-lithiated compounds with relatively high specific capacity such as TiS2、MoS2、MnO2、CoO2And V2O5As active material of cathode production, these active material of cathode and lithium anodes coupling It closes.When the cell is discharged, lithium ion is transferred to cathode from lithium anodes by electrolyte, and cathode becomes lithiumation.It is unfortunate Ground is, in duplicate charging and discharging, lithium metal causes to form dendrite at anode, and the dendrite finally causes internal short Road, thermal runaway and explosion.Due to a series of accidents related with this problem, stopped in early stage nineteen nineties The production of the secondary cell of these types instead lithium ion battery.Even if now, being filled for EV, HEV and microelectronics For setting application, cyclical stability and safety issue, which are still, interferes Li metal battery (such as lithium-sulphur and lithium-transition metal Oxide battery core) further commercialized principal element.
The hair of lithium ion secondary battery is resulted in by the worry promotion of the aforementioned safety to early stage lithium metal secondary cell Exhibition, in a lithium ion secondary battery, carbonaceous material (for example, natural graphite particles) replace pure lithium metal piece or film living as anode Property material.Carbonaceous material absorbs lithium respectively during the recharge phase and discharge regime of lithium ion battery operation and (such as passes through The intercalation of lithium ion or atom between graphene planes) and desorption lithium ion.The carbonaceous material can be mainly comprising can be with With the graphite of lithium intercalation, and gained graphite intercalation compound can be expressed as LixC6, wherein x is typically less than 1 (wherein graphite Specific capacity < 372mAh/g).
It is current although lithium ion (Li ion) battery is the promising energy accumulating device for electro-motive vehicle Cost, safety and performance objective (such as high-energy-density, high-energy density, good has not yet been reached in the Li ion battery of technical level Cyclical stability and long circulation life).Li ion battery core typically uses lithium transition-metal oxide or phosphate as opposite The deintercalation/be embedded in Li again under high potential in carbon negative electrode (anode)+Positive electrode (cathode).Based on lithium transition-metal oxide Or the specific capacity of phosphatic active material of cathode is typically in the range of 140-170mAh/g.Therefore, with graphite anode and Specific energy (weight energy based on the commercially available Li ion battery core that lithium transition-metal oxide or phosphatic cathode are characterized Density) typically 120-220Wh/kg, most typically in the range of 150-200Wh/kg.Corresponding exemplary energy density (volume energy density) range is from 300Wh/L to 400Wh/L.These energy values ratios are in order to make battery powered electric vehicle It is two to three times low to be widely accepted required energy values.
Typical battery battery core is made of following item: anode collector, anode electrode (also referred to as anode active material layers, Typically comprise active material of positive electrode, conductive filler and binder resin component), electrolyte/diaphragm, cathode electrode (also referred to as Cathode active material typically comprises active material of cathode, conductive filler and adhesive resin), cathode current collector, connection To external cabling (external wiring) metal tabs and be wrapped in every other component in addition to the tab The shell of surrounding.The weight summation and volume summation of these components are battery core total weight and battery core total volume respectively.By battery core institute The energy total amount of storage is controlled by the amount of active material of cathode and the amount of corresponding active material of positive electrode.The specific energy and energy of battery core Metric density is then respectively defined as the energy total amount stored by battery core total weight and battery core total volume.It means that making electricity Maximumlly a kind of method is to make active material under the constraint of other battery design Considerations to the specific energy and energy density of core The amount of material maximizes and minimizes the amount of every other component (non-active material).
In other words, the collector at the anode and cathode in battery battery core is non-active material, must be reduced ( In terms of weight and volume) to increase the weight and volume energy density of battery.Collector (typically aluminium foil (at cathode) and Copper foil (at anode)) it accounts for the by weight about 15%-20% of lithium ion battery and counts 10%-15% at cost.Therefore, more Thin, lighter foil will be preferred.However, in the presence of several main problems relevant to the collector of the present art:
(1) due to being easy corrugation and tearing, thinner foil tends to more expensive and is more difficult to work together.
(2) due to technological constraint, it is difficult to (if not impossible) a large amount of manufactures (for example, the Cu) or ratio thinner than 6 μm 12 μm thinner (for example, Al, Ni, stainless steel foil) metal foil.
(3) collector must be electrochemically stable relative to battery core component within the scope of the operation potential window of electrode. In fact, the internal resistance that mainly the lasting corrosion of the collector as caused by electrolyte may cause battery is gradually increased, which results in The continuous loss of apparent capacity.
(4) oxidation of metal collector is strong exothermal reaction, and the heat that the reaction may facilitate lithium battery significantly is lost Control.
Therefore, for the cost of battery, weight, safety and performance, collector is vital.Instead of metal, The solid metal or plastics of graphene or graphene coating have been considered as potential current collector material, as being listed below It is summarized in bibliography:

Currently, there are three types of different forms for graphene collector: the substrate [bibliography 1-4] of graphene coating, stand alone type Then metal loses for graphene paper [bibliography 5] and the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) being catalyzed by transition metal (Ni, Cu) The single layer graphene film [bibliography 6] carved and produced.
In the preparation of the substrate of graphene coating, by graphene oxide (GO) or the graphene oxide (RGO) of reduction On small isolated piece or platelet jet deposition to solid substrate (for example, plastic foil or Al foil).In graphene layer, structure list Member is isolated graphene film/platelet (typically length/width is 0.5-5 μm and with a thickness of 0.34-30nm), the graphite Alkene piece/platelet combines [bibliography 1,3 and 4] typically via adhesive resin such as PVDF.Although individual graphene Piece/platelet can have relatively high conductivity (in 0.5-5 μm of the limitation), but gained graphene-adhesive resin Composite layer is relative mistake (typically < 100S/cm and more typically < 10S/cm) in terms of conductivity.In addition, using bonding Another purpose of agent resin is integrated to graphene-adhesive composite layer on substrate (for example, Cu foil);It means that There are adhesive resin (adhesive) layers between Cu foil and the graphene-adhesive composite layer.Unfortunately, this adhesive tree Rouge layer is electrical isolation and the ill-effect of generation seems fully to be ignored by work at present person.
Although Prabakar et al. [reference paper 2] does not appear to be formed using adhesive resin coated with discrete oxidation The aluminium foil of graphene film, but Al foil the problem of having its own of this graphene oxide coating.It is well known in the art to be, alumina Object (Al2O3) be easy to be formed on the surface of aluminium foil, and this aluminum oxide or aluminium oxide cannot be removed with acetone or alcohol cleaning Passivation layer.What this al oxide layer was not only electrically and thermally to insulate, and actually certain form of electrolyte is not tolerated. For example, most common lithium ion battery electrolyte is dissolved in the LiPF in organic solvent6.Trace H in this electrolyte2O may Trigger it is a series of be related to being formed the chemical reactions of HF (high corrosiveness acid), the HF be easy to decompose the al oxide layer and Continue to corrode Al foil and consumes electrolyte.Capacity attenuation typically becomes brighter after 200-300 charge-discharge cycles It is aobvious.
It is prepared by GO or RGO piece/platelet that free-standing graphene paper suspends in water typically via vacuum assisted filtration. In free-standing paper, structural unit is the isolated graphene film/platelet loosely to overlap.Again, although individually Graphene film/platelet can have relatively high conductivity (in 0.5-5 μm of the limitation), but gained graphene paper has Low-down conductivity;Such as 8,000S/m or 80S/cm [bibliography 5], than the conductivity (8x 10 of Cu foil5S/cm) low 4 orders of magnitude.
The CVD process of catalysis is related in the vacuum chamber at a temperature of appropriate hydrocarbon gas is introduced into 500 DEG C -800 DEG C.It is stringent at these Under the conditions of, the appropriate hydrocarbon gas is decomposed, wherein the decomposition reaction is catalyzed by transition metal substrate (Ni or Cu).Then using strong Acid chemically etches away the Cu/Ni substrate, this is not environmental-friendly program.The whole process is slow, tediously long and consume Can, and gained graphene be typically single-layer graphene or few layer graphene (up to 5 layers because following Cu/Ni layer loses Go its effect as catalyst).
Bhardwaj et al. [bibliography 6] suggests stacking multiple CVD- graphene films to 1 μm or several μm of thickness;So And this will need the hundreds of or thousands of films being stacked (each film typically 0.34nm to 2nm is thick).Although Bhardwaj Et al. claim " graphene can reduce manufacturing cost and/or increase battery battery core energy density ", but without present experiment Data support their claim.It is claimed with this on the contrary, CVD graphene is notoriously expensive process, and even single The CVD graphene film of layer will be significantly more more expensive than Cu foil or Al paillon, it is assumed that area is identical (for example, identical 5cm x 5cm). As the stacked body of Bhardwaj et al. hundreds of or thousands of single layers suggested or the graphene film of few layer will imply that than Cu foil collection Fluid is more expensive hundreds of or thousands of times.This cost will be excessively high.Further, hundreds of CVD graphenes in stacked body The relatively low conductivity of high contact resistance and CVD graphene between film will lead to high total internal resistance, so that using compared with film (relative to 10 μm of Cu foil, 1 μm of graphene stacked body) is become with any potential benefit for reducing battery core total weight and total volume It obtains in vain.Seem, the patent application [bibliography 6] of Bhardwaj et al. (being free of any data) only concept paper.
It is described above to be clearly shown, all three graphene enhancing or the collector based on graphene forms Performance used in battery or supercapacitor and cost requirement is not satisfied.Exist to the different kind of material for being used as collector Tight demand.
Summary of the invention
The present invention provides a kind of metal foil (film) affluxs of the combination graphene oxide in battery or supercapacitor Body.The collector includes: (a) stand alone type, non-loading type thin metal foil, and the thin metal foil has the thickness from 1 μm to 30 μm Degree and two opposite but substantially parallel main surfaces;(b) it is chemically combined without using adhesive or adhesive Graphene oxide sheet film on at least one of described two opposite main surfaces, wherein at least one described main surface Without passive metal oxide skin(coating) (for example, there is no alumina layer in this main surface of Al foil), and the wherein graphite oxide Alkene film has thickness from 10nm to 10 μm, by weight from 0.1% to 10% oxygen content, 0.335nm to 0.50nm's Spacing between graphene planes, from 1.3g/cm3To 2.2g/cm3Phsyical density, all graphene oxide sheets are oriented to substantially phase It is mutually parallel and be parallel to the main surface and show and be greater than when independent measurement in the case where no thin metal foil The thermal conductivity of 500W/mK and/or conductivity greater than 1,500S/cm.Described film GO layers in itself not using adhesive tree Rouge or adhesive, and there is no adhesive resin/adhesive or passivation gold between the metal foil layer at described film GO layers Belong to oxide skin(coating).
The thin metal foil (for example, Cu foil, Al foil, stainless steel foil, Ni foil and Ti foil) must be free-standing films (for example, Be not supported on another metal plate), so as to reduce film thickness and thus reduce it is being collected from electrode active material or It is transferred to the path length that electronics therein must advance.The thickness that the thin metal foil preferably has from 4 μm to 10 μm.It is excellent Selection of land, the graphene oxide film have the thickness of from 20nm to 2 μm (further preferred < 1 μm).
Preferably, two main surfaces it is each it is comfortable without using adhesive or adhesive in the case where with graphene oxide sheet film It is chemically combined;Wherein the graphene oxide film have thickness from 10nm to 10 μm, by weight from 0.1% to Spacing between 10% oxygen content, the graphene planes of 0.335nm to 0.50nm, from 1.3g/cm3To 2.2g/cm3Phsyical density, All graphene oxide sheets, which are oriented to, is substantially parallel to each other and is parallel to the main surface, when in no thin metal foil In the case where independent measurement when, show thermal conductivity greater than 500W/mK and be greater than the conductivity of 1,500S/cm.

Specific embodiment
The present invention provides a kind of metal foil film current collectors of the combination graphene oxide in battery or supercapacitor (for example, as Fig. 1 (D) is schematically shown).The collector includes: (a) stand alone type, non-loading type thin metal foil (Fig. 1 (D) 214 in), the thin metal foil has thickness and two opposite but substantially parallel main surfaces from 1 μm to 30 μm; (b) described two opposite at least one of main surfaces are chemically bonded in the case where not using adhesive or adhesive On graphene oxide film 212.Fig. 1 (D) illustrates only a main surface and graphene oxide film for the metal foil 214 212 combine.It is preferable, however, that opposite main surface is also combined with graphene oxide film (being not shown in Fig. 1 (D)).As with In the end pole for being electrically connected to external circuit, metal tabs 218 typically by melting welding or are soldered in the metal foil 214.
As shown in Fig. 1 (D), the preferred embodiment of the present invention is the metal foil collector in conjunction with graphene oxide, Wherein there is no adhesive resin layer or passivation al oxide layers between the graphene oxide membrane and the Cu foil or Al foil.Phase Than under, as schematically shown in Fig. 1 (C), the metal foil collector of the graphene of prior art coating typically and Necessarily need the adhesive between graphene layer (graphene-resin composite materials) and the metal foil (for example, Cu foil) Resin layer.In Al foil [Prabakar et al. that the graphene of the prior art coats;Bibliography 2] in the case where, graphene layer There is naturally passivation aluminum oxide (aluminium oxide) layers between Al metal foil.This is because well-known following facts: when When manufacturing and being exposed to room air, aluminium foil always forms passivation al oxide layer on Al foil surface.Pass through acetone or alcohol Easy clean cannot remove this alumina layer.As by set forth in paragraph below, adhesive resin or al oxide layer are (i.e. Make to be as thin as only 1nm) presence there is tremendous influence to the contact resistance increased between graphene layer and metal foil.We this shy The discovery of people is ignored completely by the worker of all prior arts, and therefore, the metal foil of the graphene coating of the prior art It is unsatisfactory for the performance and cost requirement of lithium battery or current collector of super capacitor.
Make the highly significant that graphene oxide sheet and the main surface of Cu, Ni or Ti foil directly contact and unexpected excellent Point is following viewpoint: graphene oxide molecule can be integrated to these metal foils well under processing conditions of the invention On, without using external resin binder or adhesive (therefore, not dramatically increasing contact resistance).These processing conditions Including arranging graphene oxide sheet well in metal foil surface and then (more typically and being wished at 80 DEG C -1,500 DEG C Hope ground 80 DEG C -500 DEG C and most typically and hopefully 80 DEG C -200 DEG C) at a temperature in the range of be heat-treated two layers of knot Structure.Optionally, but it is not preferred ground, the heat treatment temperature can be up to 3,000 DEG C.
In the case where the collector based on aluminium foil, these processing conditions be included in coat and be combined with graphene oxide it It is preceding to chemically etch away passivation al oxide layer, then it is heat-treated under the conditions of comparable temperature described above.It can Alternatively, the graphene oxide can be prepared with GO gel state, it is characterised in that there is high oxygen content (to reflect a large amount - OH and-COOH group) and have less than 5.0 (preferably < 3.0 and even more preferably < 2.0) pH value.It can make described Al foil immerses in GO coagulation bath, and wherein acidic environment eliminates the passivation Al naturally2O3Layer.When the Al foil is shown from bath When exposing, GO molecule or piece are adhered to naturally on clean, etched Al foil surface, and it is sudden and violent to be effectively prevented Al foil surface It is exposed in open air (therefore, without passivation Al between Al foil surface and GO layers2O3Layer and no increased contact electricity Resistance).It is never disclosed or suggested before this strategy.
Other than the chemical bonding ability of GO layer and the chemical etching ability of GO gel of the invention, combination of the invention Thickness that gained graphene oxide film in the metal foil of graphene oxide has from 10nm to 10 μm, by weight from Spacing between 0.1% to 10% oxygen content, the graphene planes of 0.335nm to 0.50nm, from 1.3g/cm3To 2.2g/cm3Object Density is managed, all graphene oxide sheets, which are oriented to, is substantially parallel to each other and is parallel to main surface, when in no thin metal foil In the case where independent measurement when, show thermal conductivity greater than 500W/mK and/or be greater than the conductivity of 1,500S/cm.This oxidation Graphene film is chemically inert and provides the highly effective protective layer for resisting the corrosion of following metal foil.
Now, let us detailed examination such as the all-in resistance (including contact resistance) in the three-decker shown in Fig. 1 (C) Size.Electronics in graphene layer 202 (layer 1) must move around in this layer, move through adhesive resin or passivation Alumina layer 206 (layer 2), and it is then mobile to terminal tab 208 in metal foil layer 204 (layer 3).For the sake of simplicity, I Will only consider to move through the thickness of the graphene layer, described adhesive/passivation layer thickness and described for electronics The all-in resistance of the thickness of metal foil layer.Electronics movement in the face of both graphene or metal foil on direction is rapid and low electricity Resistance;Therefore, this resistance is ignored in calculating of the invention.
The thickness direction resistance of conductor sheet film is given by: R=(1/ σ) (t/A), wherein conductor described in A=is transversal Area (length x width), the thickness of conductor described in t=,AndCollector containing the coating of the graphene of adhesive or passive metal oxide skin(coating) can To be considered as with graphene film, interfacial bonder resin layer (or passive oxidation aluminium layer) and the metal foil being electrically connected in series The three-decker (Fig. 1 (C)) of layer.
All-in resistance is the summation of the resistance value of three layers: R=R1+R2+R31(t1/A1)+ρ2(t2/A2)+ρ3(t3/ A31/ σ of)=(1)(t1/A1)+(1/σ2)(t2/A2)+(1/σ3)(t3/A3), wherein ρ=resistivity, σ=conductivity, t=thickness, And A=layers of area, and approximatively, A1=A2=A3.Scanning electronic microscope examination disclose, described adhesive resin or Passive oxidation aluminium layer is typically 5-100nm thick.The resistivity and aluminium oxide of most common adhesive resin (PVDF) (Al2O3) resistivity typically 1013-1015In the range of ohm-cm.Assuming that A1=A2=A3=1cm2, graphene layer Thickness direction electricalresistivityρ1=0.1 ohm-cm, adhesive or alumina layer electricalresistivityρ2=1 × 1014Ohm-cm, and And metal foil layer resistivity is ρ3=1.7 × 10-6Ohm-cm (Cu foil) or ρ3=2.7 × 10-6Ohm-cm (Al foil). It is also supposed that following optimum condition, wherein Cu foil or Al foil thickness=6 μm, graphene layer thickness=1 μm, and adhesive resin layer Thickness is only 0.5nm (actually it is from 5nm to 100nm).Then the all-in resistance of the three-decker will be 5 × 106Ohm is simultaneously And whole conductivity will be down to 1.4 × 10-10S/cm (referring to the first data line in the following table 1).If we assume that adhesive tree Rouge layer is 10nm thickness, and the all-in resistance of the three-decker will be 1 × 108Ohm and whole conductivity will be down to 7.0 × 10- 12S/cm (referring to the 4th data line in the following table 1).Such 3 layers of composite construction will not be for the good of battery or supercapacitor Good collector, because high internal resistance will imply that the inside heat production of low output voltage and a large amount.For based on Ni foil, Ti foil and not The collector of rust steel foil, observed similar result (the data line 7-10 in table 1).
Table 1:
In contrast, if there is no adhesive resin or alumina layer (t2=0) (the feelings of collector such as of the invention Condition), have 1.0 × 10 in conjunction with the all-in resistance of the Cu foil of graphene oxide-5Ohm value (with containing 1- μm of adhesive resin layer The 1.0 × 10 of 3-tier architecture+7Ohm is compared).Refer to the following table 2.This represents the difference of 12 orders of magnitude (not being 12 times)!With phase The 7.0 × 10 of the 3-tier architecture answered-11S/cm is compared, and for 2 layers of structure of the invention, conductivity will be 7.0 × 10+1S/cm.Again Once, difference is 12 orders of magnitude.In addition, we have found that, compared with the collector based on graphene of the prior art, with The lithium battery and supercapacitor that the metal foil collector of combination graphene oxide of the invention is characterized always show higher Voltage output, higher energy density, higher power density, more stable charge-discharge cycles respond and continue more Long without capacity attenuation or etching problem.

Since the collector that graphene of the invention is realized is produced by graphene oxide gel, presently describes and beg for By term graphene, graphene oxide (GO), the prior art GO suspension and GO gel of the invention.
Block natural flake graphite is 3-D graphite material, wherein each particle by multiple crystal grain (crystal grain be graphite monocrystalline or Crystallite) it constitutes, these crystal grain have the crystal boundary (amorphous or defect area) for defining neighbouring graphite monocrystalline.Each crystal grain by putting down each other Multiple graphene planes of row orientation are constituted.Graphene planes in graphite microcrystal are by occupying the carbon atom structure of two-dimentional hexagoinal lattice At.In given crystal grain or monocrystalline, graphene planes are stacked at the direction crystallography c- (perpendicular to graphene planes or basal plane) And it is combined by Van der Waals force.Although all graphene planes in a crystal grain be it is parallel to each other, typically one The graphene planes in graphene planes and neighboring die in crystal grain are different in orientation.In other words, in graphite particle Different crystal grain orientation it is typically different from a crystal grain to another crystal grain.
Graphite monocrystalline (crystallite) is anisotropic in itself, wherein direction (crystallography a- axis or the b- axis direction) along basal plane The characteristic of measurement and the characteristic measured along crystallography c- axis direction (thickness direction) are dramatically different.For example, the thermal conductivity of graphite monocrystalline Rate (crystallography a- and b- axis direction) in basal plane can be up to about 1,920W/mK (theoretical value) or 1,800W/mK (experiment Value), but 10W/mK (typically less than 5W/mK) is less than along crystallography c- axis direction.Further, multiple in graphite particle Crystal grain or crystallite are typically orientated all along different directions.Therefore, the natural stone being made of multiple crystal grain of different orientation Black particle is shown between the two limiting values (that is, in 5W/mK and 1, between 800W/mK, but typically < 100W/mK) Average characteristics.
Be highly desirable in numerous applications be production have enough large scales and with all graphene planes along The block graphite object that one desired direction is substantially parallel to each other.Such as, it is highly desirable to be that there is a kind of large scale stone Black entity (for example, layer of the completely integrated of multiple graphene planes), the entity have the c- axis of all graphene planes Direction is substantially parallel to each other, and has sufficiently large length and/or width (for example, for small-sized for specific application It is used as collector in battery core, > 10cm2, and for being used as collector in large-scale battery core, > 200cm2) and answered for expection Use (for example, as the thin layer being integrated in metal foil surface) that there is desired thickness (for example, 10nm to 10 μm).So far, also It can not be by large scale integration graphene-metal foil entity of existing natural or synthetic graphite particle production this type.
The composition graphene planes (typically 30nm -2 μm of width/length) of graphite microcrystal can be by extruding and from the graphite It extracts or is isolated to obtain the individual graphene film of carbon atom, premise is that overcoming interplanar Van der Waals force in crystallite.Six The isolation of square carbon atom, individual graphene film is commonly known as single-layer graphene.Graphene planes with 0.3354nm Between spacing in a thickness direction multilayer stone is commonly known as by the stacked body of multiple graphene planes that Van der Waals force combines Black alkene.Multi-layer graphene platelet has up to 300 layers of graphene planes (on thickness < 100nm) but more typically up to 30 graphene planes (on thickness < 10nm), be even more typically up to 20 graphene planes (on thickness < 7nm), And most typically it is up to 10 graphene planes (commonly known as lacking layer graphene in scientific circles).Single-layer graphene film and Multi-layer graphene piece is collectively referred to as " nano-graphene platelet " (NGP).Graphene film/platelet or NGP are and 0-D fullerene, 1-D The different a new class of carbon nanomaterial of CNT with 3-D graphite (2-D nano-sized carbon).
Early in 2002, our research group started the exploitation of grapheme material and related methods of production: (1) B.Z.Jang and W.C.Huang, " Nano-scaled Graphene Plates [nanoscale graphite alkene plate] ", U.S. Patent number 7,071,258 (07/04/2006), the application submitted on October 21 in 2002;(2) B.Z.Jang et al. " Process for Producing Nano-scaled Graphene Plates [method for producing nanoscale graphite alkene plate] ", United States Patent (USP) Application number 10/858,814 (06/03/2004);(3) B.Z.Jang, A.Zhamu and J.Guo, " Process for Producing Nano-scaled Platelets and Nanocomposites is [multiple for producing nanoscale platelet and nanometer The method of condensation material] ", U.S. Patent Application No. 11/509,424 (08/25/2006).
Intercalation is carried out to obtain graphite intercalation compound to natural graphite particles typically via with strong acid and/or oxidant (GIC) or graphite oxide (GO) obtains NGP, as shown in Fig. 1 (A) (process flow chart) and Fig. 1 (B) (schematic diagram). The presence of chemical species or functional group is for increasing spacing (d between graphene in clearance space between graphene planes002, such as Pass through what X-ray diffraction measured), it thereby dramatically reduces and otherwise graphene planes keeps together along c- axis direction Van der Waals force.GIC or GO immerses sulphur most often by by natural graphite powder (100 in 20 and Fig. 1 (B) in Fig. 1 (A)) It is produced in the mixture of acid, nitric acid (oxidant) and another oxidant (for example, potassium permanganate or sodium perchlorate).Gained GIC (22 or 102) is actually certain type of graphite oxide (GO) particle.Then the GIC is repeatedly washed in water With rinsing to remove excessive acid, graphite oxide suspension or dispersion are generated, the suspension or dispersion, which contain, to be dispersed in Discrete in water and visually recognizable graphite oxide particle.There are two processing routes after this rinsing step:
Route 1 is related to going water removal to obtain " expansible graphite " from suspension, is substantially a large amount of dry GIC or dry Dry graphite oxide particle.The constant temperature about 30 within the scope of typically 800 DEG C -1,050 DEG C is exposed in expansible graphite When second to 2 minutes, GIC is subjected to 30-300 times of rapid expanding to form " graphite worm " (24 or 104), and the graphite worm is each Naturally extruding but still interconnection the unsegregated graphite flake of major part aggregate.Graphite worm is presented in Fig. 2 (A) SEM image.
In a possible subsequent step, can by these graphite worms (expanded graphite or " interconnection/do not separate Graphite flake network ") recompression to obtain flexible graphite platelet or foil (26 or 106), typically have in 0.1mm (100 μm) thickness in -0.5mm (500 μm) range.Alternatively, in order to produce the mesh of so-called " exfoliated graphite sheet " (108) , it can choose using low-intensity air mill or cutter simply to decompose the graphite worm, the expanded graphite is thin Piece mainly contains the graphite flake or platelet (therefore, according to definition be not nano material) thicker than 100nm.
Expanded graphite worm, exfoliated graphite sheet and graphite worm recompression substance (commonly referred to as flexible graphite platelet or Soft graphite foil) it is entirely 3-D graphite material, it is being fundamentally different from and is being clearly distinguished from 1-D nano-carbon material (CNT or CNF) or 2-D nano-carbon material (graphene film or platelet, NGP).Soft graphite (FG) foil may be used as radiating equipment Material, but show in the largest face of typically less than 500W/mK (more typically < 300W/mK) thermal conductivity and no more than 1, The face internal conductance rate of 500S/cm.These low conductivity values are the direct results of following item: the stone of many defects, fold or folding Black thin slice, interruption or gap and nonparallel thin slice (such as SEM image in Fig. 2 (B)) between graphite flake.It is many Thin slice is angled with respect to each other (for example, misorientation of 20-40 degree) with very big angle.
In another possible subsequent step, expanded graphite is made to be subjected to high-strength mechanical shearing (for example, using ultrasound Generator, high-shear mixer, high-intensitive air-jet mill or high-energy ball mill) to form isolated single layer and multilayer stone Black alkene piece (it is referred to as NGP, 33 or 112), such as in our U.S. Application No. 10/858, disclosed in 814.Single-layer graphene It can be as thin as 0.34nm, and multi-layer graphene can have the thickness of up to 100nm but more typically less than 20nm.
For the purpose of the individual graphene oxide sheet of separation/isolation from graphite oxide particle, route 2 is required to oxidation Graphite suspension is ultrasonically treated.This is based on following viewpoint: the interval between graphene planes is from natural graphite 0.3354nm increases to the 0.6-1.1nm in highly oxidized graphite oxide, reduces significantly adjacent plane being maintained at one The Van der Waals force risen.It is separation, isolation or discrete to be formed that ultrasonic power can be enough further separation graphene planes piece Graphene oxide (GO) piece.It then can be by these graphene oxide sheets chemistry or thermal reduction to obtain " the graphite oxide of reduction Alkene " (RGO) typically has 0.001%-10% by weight, more typically by weight 0.01%-5% and most allusion quotation Oxygen content of the type ground by weight less than 2%.
In order to limit the purpose of claims hereof, NGP includes single layer and multilayer raw graphite alkene, graphene oxide Or discrete patch/platelet of the graphene oxide of reduction.Raw graphite alkene has substantially 0% oxygen.Graphene oxide (including RGO it) can have the oxygen of 0.01%-50% by weight.RGO has 0.01%-10% by weight, more typically by weight With the counting 0.01%-5% and most typically oxygen content of 0.01%-2% by weight.
GO molecule in graphene oxide gel (GO gel) (will be described in detail later) is typically from GO gel Remove oxygen (the more typically 30%- for containing 20%-47% by weight immediately but before subsequent heat treatment after liquid 47%).The GO gel refers to the aromatic molecule of highly-hydrophilic (with oxygen-containing group in planes of molecules or in edge The graphene oxide molecule of (such as-OH ,-COOH and > O)) homogeneous solution, these molecular meltings (more than dispersing) are in acidity In liquid (for example, the highly acidic aqueous solution with pH value lower than 5.0, more typically < 3.0 and often < 2.0).It is described GO gel itself is free of obvious recognizable or discrete graphene or GO particle in solid piece or platelet form.These GO points The sub and described dispersing liquid medium have comparable refractive index so that gained gel be it is optically transparent or it is translucent (such as The ratio of fruit GO molecule is set to excessively high), or display light brown color.
In contrast, graphite particle or discrete graphene or graphene oxide sheet/platelet and the simple of acid and/or water mix It is dark and fully opaque (even if wherein only having < 0.1% solid particle to be suspended in liquid medium that conjunction object looks like optics In).These particles or graphene or GO piece/platelet simply disperse (not being dissolution) in fluid media (medium) and they are not formed GO gel state.
These GO molecules in GO gel are highly reactive and are considered " huge molecule living ".It compares Under, solid piece/platelet of the graphene of the prior art, GO and RGO is substantially " dead " species.The GO can be coagulated Glue shearing appropriate or compression stress (for example, via curtain coating or molding) form shape in metal foil surface, and drying is (wherein Liquid component is partly or wholly removed), and be heat-treated under certain conditions to obtain and be chemically bonded to metal foil table The film of height-oriented graphene film on face.The heat treatment is for being connected chemically these active or living GO molecules to be formed 2-D the or 3-D network of chemically combined graphene molecules with heavy molecular weight, and so that the oxygen content of GO significantly reduces To being lower than by weight, 10% (heat treatment temperature < 200 DEG C), more typically < 5%, further more typically < 2% (heat treatment is warm < 500 DEG C of degree) and most typically < < 1% (heat treatment temperature is up to 1,500 DEG C).
Although it is (including " dead that the GO gel itself is free of obvious recognizable/discrete graphene film/platelet or NGP " GO piece/platelet), but can intentionally fill out discrete graphene film/platelet, exfoliated graphite sheet and other kinds of solid Material is added in the GO gel to form mixture gel.By this mixture gel drying and identical heat can be subjected to Processing is converted into the film of the GO piece of height-oriented and chemical merging with the GO molecule that will be lived.Now with filler phase (for example, discrete NGP, CNT and carbon fiber) enhance grapheme material derived from this graphene oxide gel.
When being stacked film forming, film or the scraps of paper (34 or 114), solid NGP is (including raw graphite alkene, GO and GRO Discrete patch/platelet) do not show high conductivity typically.In general, the paper made of the platelet of discrete graphene, GO or RGO Shape structure or felt (for example, passing through those of the vacuum assisted filtration technique preparation scraps of paper) show many defects, fold or folding Graphene film, interruption or gap and nonparallel platelet (for example, SEM image in Fig. 3 (B)) between platelet cause Relatively low conductivity and low structural strength.
The low portion of Fig. 1 (A) is illustrated for the typical method by polymer production pyrolytic graphite film.The method is opened It starts under 400 DEG C -1,000 DEG C of carburizing temperature in 10-15Kg/cm2Typical pressure under carbonized polymers film 46 (for example, Polyimides) continue 2-10 hours to obtain char-forming material 48, it is followed by 2,500 DEG C -3,200 DEG C in 100-300Kg/ cm2Hyperpressure under carry out graphitization processing continue 1-24 hours to form graphite film 50.It is tieed up under such ultra-high temperature It is technically extremely challenging for holding such hyperpressure.This is difficult, slow, tediously long, energy consumption and extremely expensive mistake Journey.In addition, the carbonization of certain polymer (for example, polyacrylonitrile) is related to the discharge of Toxic kind.Further, since production is thinner than 30 μm precursor polyimide film difficulty, it has not been possible to mass production, which is thinner than derived from 15 μm of polyimides, is pyrolyzed film.This is not Meet the requirement with 1-10 μ m-thick collector.
The graphene film (< 2nm) of specific type on the surface Ni or Cu by carrying out appropriate hydrocarbon gas (for example, C2H4) urge Change CVD to prepare.In the case where Ni or Cu are catalyst, will via at 800 DEG C -1,000 DEG C decomposing hydrocarbon gas molecule obtain The carbon atom obtained deposits on Ni or Cu foil surface the piece for being formed as polycrystalline single layer or few layer graphene.These graphenes are thin Film (being optical clear and conduction) is intended for such as touch screen (replace indium tin oxide or ito glass) or semiconductor The application of (replace silicon, Si).However, these ultra-thin polycrystalline graphite alkene films do not have enough biographies for being used as collector The property led (too many crystal grain or too many grain boundary, and all crystal grains are oriented in different directions) and not sufficiently thick (most preferably from 1 μm to 10 μm).It is put down in addition, the CVD technique of Ni- or Cu- catalysis is not suitable for more than 5-10 graphene of deposition Face (typically < 2-4nm, more typically < 2nm), is more than so more graphene planes, Ni or Cu catalyst below cannot mention again For any catalytic effect.Do not have experimental evidence show the CVD graphene layer thicker than 5nm or 10nm be it is possible, needless to say 1 μm (1,000nm) is to 10 μm (10,000nm).
The present invention also provides a kind of for producing the method for combining the metal foil collector of graphene oxide, the method It include: the graphene oxide gel of graphene oxide molecule that (a) preparation has dispersion and is dissolved in fluid media (medium), wherein institute It states graphene oxide molecule and (is typically by weight of from more than 30% and more typically by weight containing by weight of from more than 20% Between 30% and 47%) oxygen content;(b) it is distributed in the main surface of support metal foil and deposits one layer of graphene oxide Gel, to be formed thereon the graphene oxide gel of deposition, wherein the distribution and deposition procedure include the graphite oxide Alkene gel shear-induced desaturation (cause graphene oxide molecule on desired one or more directions accumulation well and It arranges well, is beneficial to the merging and integration of the GO molecule in subsequent heat treatment process);(c) from the oxidation deposited The fluid media (medium) is removed in Graphene gel layer partially or even wholly to form dry graphene oxide layer, the dry oxygen Graphite alkene layer has the interplanar spacing d of the 0.4nm to 1.2nm such as measured by X-ray diffraction002It is not small by weight In 20% oxygen content;(d) from 80 DEG C to 1, the graphene oxide layer, journey are heat-treated under 500 DEG C of heat treatment temperature Degree is so that spacing d between the graphene oxide membrane layer plane002It is reduced to the value and oxygen content from 0.3354nm to 0.5nm It is reduced to by weight less than 10%.
In a more preferred embodiment, step (c) includes forming the interplanar spacing d with 0.4nm to 0.7nm002With press Poidometer is not less than the graphene oxide layer of 20% oxygen content;And step (d) includes being heat-treated the graphene oxide layer, Degree is so that interplanar spacing d002It is reduced to the value from 0.3354nm to 0.36nm and the oxygen content is reduced to by weight Meter is less than 2%.
Contained by the graphene oxide film that heat-treatment oxidation Graphene gel at a certain temperature obtains chemically combined Graphene molecules.The aromatic molecule or graphene planes (carbon atom of hexagonal structure) of these planes are parallel to each other.These are flat The lateral dimension (length or width) in face be it is huge, typically compared with the maximum crystallite dimension of beginning graphite particle (or maximum structure At graphene planes size) the several times greater or even several orders of magnitude.Film is made of many " huge graphene oxide farmlands ", is had All composition graphene planes are substantially parallel to each other, and there is GO thin layers of molecules to be chemically bonded in following metal foil.This is A kind of unique and new material that may be present was not found, developed or suggested in the past.
The graphene oxide gel is a kind of very unique and novel material, and the material unexpectedly has greatly Cohesive force (self-bonding, auto polymerization and self-crosslinking ability) and adhesion strength (the diversified surface of solids can be chemically bonded to On).Do not teach or imply in the prior art these features.The GO gel is by that will originate graphite material in the reaction vessel The powder or long filament of material immerse acquisition in oxidation liquid medium (for example, mixture of sulfuric acid, nitric acid and potassium permanganate).It is described Originate graphite material can selected from natural graphite, artificial graphite, mesocarbon, mesophase pitch, carbonaceous mesophase spherules, soft carbon, Hard carbon, coke, carbon fiber, carbon nano-fiber, carbon nanotube, or combinations thereof.
When originating powdered graphite or long filament mixes in oxidation liquid medium, gained slurry (non-uniform suspension) is most It is complete dark and opaque at first sight.When the oxidation of graphite carries out enough under the conditions of controlled pH at the reaction temperatures When the time of length, reactive material can be eventually become without recognizable or visually identifiable dispersion solid particle Homogeneous solution (different from containing the initial non-uniform suspension of identifiable solid particle).The solution can be optics half It is transparent or transparent or brown, also seem and behaves like polymer gel.The oxidation of this heavy oxidation induction Graphene gel is made of the graphene oxide molecule for dissolving in liquid medium.It is described before any subsequent heat treatment Graphene oxide molecule have by weight not less than 20% (typically by weight from the oxygen content of 30%-50%), and When be in gel state when, their molecular weight be typically less than 43,000 gram/mol (frequently less than 4,000 gram/mol but It is typically greater than 200 grams/mol).The graphene oxide gel is by the graphene oxide molecule structure that is dissolved in acid medium At, the acid medium have typically not higher than 5.0 (more typically < 3.0 and most typically < 2.0) pH value.
When measuring at 20 DEG C before shear-induced desaturation, the graphene oxide gel has from 500 centipoises (cP) to 500,000cP typical viscosities.When being measured at 20 DEG C before the shear-induced desaturation program, the viscosity More preferably greater than 2,000cP and be less than 300,000cP.Preferably as the precursor of integral piece grapheme material, the GO The viscosity of gel is in the range of 2,000-50,000cP.Preferably, the GO gel is made to be subjected to shear stress field, so that cutting During or after cutting induction desaturation, the viscosity decreases below 2,000cP (or even lower than 1,000cP).In embodiment, When measuring at 20 DEG C before shear-induced desaturation, the graphene oxide gel has the viscosity greater than 5,000cP, but During or after shear-induced desaturation, viscosity decreases below 5,000cP (preferably and typically lower than 2,000cP or very To lower than 1,000cP).The viscosity data measured at 20 DEG C is (as example, shown in Fig. 8 (A), 8 (B) and 8 (C) ) clearly illustrate, even if hyperviscosity value (for example, 300,000cP) can also be decreased under sufficiently high shear rate 1,000-2,000cP.This is greater than the reduction of 2 orders of magnitude, this is unusually unexpected observation result.When right with logarithm- When number scale, the straight line of data indicates shear-thinning fluid flow behavior.
In step (b), the GO gel preferably forms shape under the influence of shear stress.Such shearing program One example is to be cast or coated GO gel (gel state fluid) film using coating machine.This program is similar on solid substrate Coat one layer of varnish, paint, coating or ink.When forming the film, or when in roller/blade/wiper and supporting base material Between when applying relative motion, the roller, " doctor blade " or wiper generate shear stress.Quite unexpectedly and show It lands, such shear action reduces the effective viscosity of the GO gel and enables plane oxidation graphene (GO) molecule It is arranged well along such as shear direction.Further unexpectedly, when the liquid component in then removal GO gel is with shape When at the GO substance well accumulated being at least partially dried, such molecules align state or preferred orientation are not destroyed.It is described Dry GO substance direction in face and perpendicular between in-plane have high birefringence coefficient.Another reality of such program Example is to inject GO substance under the influence of shear stress or die casting is into cavity body of mould or molding die/tool.It then will be The liquid component of clipped GO substance in cavity body of mould partially or even wholly goes divided by obtaining portion point ground or fully to do Dry GO substance contains accumulation well and well-arranged " living " GO molecule.
Then the GO substance for drying this is subjected to the heat treatment of appropriately programmed.For 80 DEG C -500 DEG C of temperature range, The GO substance undergoes the chemistry merging being subjected between some GO molecules with the chemical reaction of metal foil surface, and oxygen first Content is reduced from typically 30%-50% (dry original sample) heat to 5%-6%.Spacing is from about between this processing leads to graphene 0.6-1.0nm (as former state dry) is reduced to about 0.4nm, and thermal conductivity from about 100W/mK increases to 500W/mK simultaneously in face And conductivity increases to > 2,000S/cm from 800S/cm.Even if can also occur in the case where so low temperature range It is connected chemically.GO molecule keeps good arrangement, but spacing keeps relatively large (0.4nm or bigger) between GO.Many good fortunes of functional group containing O It leaves and.
For 500 DEG C -1,500 DEG C of heat-treatment temperature range, occur between adjacent GO molecule extensive chemical combination, polymerization, And crosslinking.Oxygen content is reduced to typically < 2.0% (more typically < 1.0%), and spacing between graphene is caused to be reduced to about 0.345nm.This means that some starting graphiteizations start at such lower temperatures, and up to 2,500 are typically needed DEG C temperature come start the graphitizable material of graphited routine (such as polyimide film of carbonization) formed sharp contrast.This is The metal foil of combination graphene film of the invention and its another distinguishing characteristics of production method.These, which are connected chemically reaction, causes Thermal conductivity increases to 1,400-1,500W/mK in the face of graphene film and/or face internal conductance rate increases to > 5,000S/cm.
X-ray diffraction pattern is obtained with the x-ray diffractometer radiated equipped with CuKcv.The displacement of diffraction maximum and broadening make It is calibrated with silicon powder reference substance.Use Mering equation, d002=0.3354g+0.344 (1-g) is calculated by X-ray figure and is graphitized G is spent, wherein d002It is the graphite or graphene crystal interlayer spacing in terms of nm.Only work as d002Equal to or less than about 0.3440nm When, this equation is just effective.With the d for being higher than 0.3440nm002Graphene oxide membrane or mild oxidation graphite crystal material it is anti- It has reflected and has served as interval base to increase the oxygen-containing functional group (- OH, > O on such as graphene molecules plane surface of spacing between graphene With the presence of-COOH).
Another knot of the degree of order of integral piece grapheme material and ordinary graphite crystal of the invention can be used to characterize Structure index is " inlaying the latitude of emulsion ", by the full width at half maximum (FWHM) table of the rocking curve (x-ray diffraction intensity) of (002) or (004) reflection Show.This degree of order characterization graphite or graphene crystalline size (or crystallite dimension), the amount of crystal boundary and other defect and preferably Degree of grain alignment.The almost ideal monocrystalline of graphite is characterized by having that 0.2-0.4's inlays latitude of emulsion value.Our one integral piece (wherein heat treatment temperature is not less than most of latitude of emulsion values of inlaying having in the range of this 0.2-0.4 of formula grapheme material 2,000℃).However, then some values are in 0.4-0.7 if maximum heat treatment temperature (HTT) is between 1,000 DEG C and 1,500 DEG C In the range of, and if HTT is between 500 DEG C and 1,000 DEG C, then some values are in the range of 0.7-1.0.
The temperature condition of heat treatment of GO is so that the graphene oxide film relative non-porous of coating on metal foil, has extremely Few 1.5g/cm3Phsyical density or porosity level lower than 20%.Under more typical processing conditions, the film has At least 1.7g/cm3Phsyical density or porosity level lower than 10%.In most cases, the film has and is greater than 1.8g/cm3Phsyical density or porosity level less than 5%.Chemically combined graphene planes in the film are typically Contain sp2And sp3Electron configuration combination (especially for lower than 1,500 DEG C maximum treatment temperature prepare those of film).
Have following characteristics (single in conjunction with the gel derived graphene oxide film of graphene oxide (GO) on metal foil Solely or in combination):
(1) if being formed under the conditions of desired shear stress field, then carrying out appropriate heat treatment, graphene oxide is thin Film is integrated graphene phase.The film has wide/long chemically combined graphene planes, and the graphene planes are basic On be oriented parallel to one another.In other words, all crystal grains and its all crystallography c- axis direction for constituting graphene planes are primarily directed to Identical direction.This conclusion is using SEM, TEM, selected diffraction (with TEM), X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscope (AFM), it is obtained after the extensive research of the combination of Raman spectroscopy and FTIR.
(2) felt of the paper-like piece (that is, soft graphite foil), exfoliated graphite sheet (thickness 100nm) of expanded graphite worm, with And the paper or film of graphene or GO platelet be graphene, GO or RGO multiple discrete graphite flakes or discrete platelet it is simple , unbonded aggregation/stacked body.In contrast, the graphene oxide film of the invention from GO gel is complete one The single graphene entity or monolithic of body are free of discrete sheet or platelet.
(3) in the prior art method, the original for constituting graphite particle can be obtained by expansion, extruding and separating treatment The discrete graphene film (thickness<<100nm) or exfoliated graphite sheet (>100nm) of beginning structure.By by these discrete patch/thin slices Film is simply mixed and be re-compressed into, can attempt to be orientated these piece/thin slices hopefully along a direction.However, With these conventional methods, the composition thin slice or piece of gained film (aggregation, paper, film or felt) will stay in that discrete sheet/piece/ Platelet, the discrete sheet/piece/platelet can hold with the naked eye or under low magnifying power optical microscopy (x100-x1000) It changes places and distinguishes or be clearly observed.
In contrast, the preparation of GO film of the invention is related to original graphite particle heavy oxidation, and degree is practical Each upper original graphite alkene plane has been oxidized and has been isolated from each other to become individual molecule, and the individual molecule is on side Also at edge and mainly there is highly reactive property functional group (for example,-OH, > O and-COOH) on graphene planes.These lists Only hydrocarbon molecule (element for also containing such as O and H other than carbon atom) is dissolved in reaction medium (for example, water is mixed with sour Close object) in form spawn (referred to herein as GO gel).It then, will typically under the conditions of shear stress field This gel is cast on smooth substrate surface or is injected into cavity body of mould, and then goes to do divided by formation by liquid component It is GO layers dry.When heated, these highly reactive property molecules are mainly along graphene planes in transverse direction (length or width Direction) on also react with each other and be connected chemically between graphene planes (in a manner of edge-to-edge) and in some cases.
Fig. 3 (D) illustrate it is plausible be connected chemically mechanism, wherein as example illustrate only 2 arrangement GO molecules, Although a large amount of GO molecule can be connected chemically together to form integral piece graphene layer.It can also be with face in addition, being connected chemically Occur to opposite, rather than just edge-to-edge.These connections and merging reaction carry out in this way, that is, so that described point Sub- chemistry merges, connects and integrally turn to single an entity or monolithic.The molecule loses the original of their own completely Beginning identity, and they are no longer discrete piece/platelet/thin slices.There is only a single layer structure, (integral piece graphene is real Body), it is a giant molecule or is only the network (have substantial infinite molecular weight) for interconnecting huge molecule.All structures It is very big in lateral dimension (length and width) at graphene planes, and if is generated under the conditions of shear stress (particularly into film, thickness<20 μm) and be heat-treated under higher temperature (such as>1,000 DEG C or much higher), then this A little graphene planes are substantially parallel to each other.
Use the combined further investigation of SEM, TEM, selected diffraction, X-ray diffraction, AFM, Raman spectroscopy and FTIR Show the graphene monolithic by several huge graphene planes (wherein length/width be typically > > 100 μm, more typical Ground > > 1mm, and most typically > > 1cm) constitute.These huge graphene planes often not only (are such as existed by Van der Waals force In conventional graphite microcrystal like that) but also by covalent bond stacks and combine along thickness direction (crystallography c- axis direction). Without being limited by theory, but Raman and FTIR spectrum method research seem to indicate that sp2(leading) and sp3(weak but presence) electron configuration Coexist, rather than just the conventional sp in graphite2
(4) this integrated graphene entity is not by with resin binder or adhesive that discrete sheet/platelet is glued Or made of being combined together.On the contrary, the GO molecule in the GO gel is merged by being connected with each other or being formed covalent bond Integrated graphene entity, without the use of any external binder molecule or polymer added.
(5) typically there is this one chip graphene entity the crystallography c- axis in all crystal grains to be substantially parallel to each other. This entity is derived from GO gel, and the GO gel is correspondingly by initially with the natural or artificial graphite of multiple graphite microcrystals Particle obtains.Before by chemical oxidation, these starting graphite microcrystals have the initial length (L in crystallography a- axis directiona)、 Original width (the L in b- axis directionb) and the thickness (L in c- axis directionc).After heavy oxidation, these initially discrete graphite Particle is chemically converted the height virtue of functional group's (such as-OH ,-COOH etc.) for edge or surface carrying with significant concentration Fragrant race's graphene oxide molecule.These aromatic series GO molecule in the GO gel has lost it as graphite particle or thin The original identity of a part of piece.After removing liquid component in the GO gel, gained GO molecule is formed substantially without fixed The structure of shape.After heat treatment, these GO molecular chemistries merge and connect into the integral piece or one chip graphite of high-sequential Alkene entity.
Gained graphene oxide film typically has the L of noticeably greater than original crystalliteaAnd LbLength or width.This is thin The length/width of film is typically greater than the L of original crystalliteaAnd Lb.Independent crystal grain even in this graphene entity also has significantly Greater than the L of original crystalliteaAnd LbLength or width.
(6) due to these unique chemical compositions (including oxygen content), form, crystal structure (including between graphene between Away from) and structure feature (for example, very close to each other and in graphite between few defects, good chemical bonding and graphene film Alkene plane is interrupted), one chip graphene oxide membrane derived from graphene oxide gel has outstanding thermal conductivity, conductance The unique combination of rate, mechanical strength and scratch resistance.In the case where not using adhesive or adhesive, this film is also tied well It closes in following metal foil.
Features described above will be further described and be explained as follows: as shown in Fig. 1 (B), graphite particle (for example, 100) Typically it is made of multiple graphite microcrystals or crystal grain.
Due to the weak Van der Waals force of keeping parallelism graphene layer, natural graphite can be handled, so that can be by graphene Spacing between layer is obviously opened in order to provide the significant expansion in c- axis direction, and to form intumesced graphite structure, Wherein the Lamellar character of carbon-coating is substantially retained.In general, by natural graphite flake (such as 100 in Fig. 1 (B)) in acid solution Middle intercalation is to produce graphite intercalation compound (GIC, 102).By GIC washing, dry and then by being exposed to high temperature Continue short period and extruding.This leads to that thin slice expands in the c- axis direction of graphite or extruding is up to its original size 80-300 times.Expanded graphite thin slice is vermiform in appearance, and is therefore commonly known as worm 104.It can not make With these graphite flake worms of significant expansion are configured to cohesion or integrated Expandable graphite sheet in the case where adhesive, Such as the typical density having for most of applications is about 0.04-2.0g/cm3Net, paper, item, band, foil, felt etc. (typically Referred to as " soft graphite " 106).
The upper left of Fig. 1 (A) shows flow chart, and the flow chart is illustrated for manufacturing soft graphite foil and resin The art methods of the Flexible Graphite Composites of dipping.These methods are typically begun with intercalator (typically, strong acid Or acid blend) to (for example, the natural graphite or synthetic graphite) intercalation of graphite particle 20 to obtain graphite intercalation compound 22 (GIC).After being rinsed in water to remove excessive acid, the GIC becomes " expansible graphite ".Then by the GIC or can be swollen Swollen graphite is exposed under hot environment (for example, the tube furnace being set in advance in 800 DEG C -1, at a temperature in the range of 050 DEG C In) continue short duration (typically, from 15 seconds to 2 minute).This heat treatment allows the graphite in its c- axis direction To hundred times to obtain vermiform myrmekitic texture 24 (graphite worm), the structure contains extruding but unsegregated stone for expansion 30 Black thin slice has the macropore being inserted between these interconnection thin slices.The example of graphite worm is presented in Fig. 2 (A).
In a kind of method of prior art, by using calendering or rolling techniques, by expanded graphite, (or a large amount of graphite is compacted Worm) recompression is to obtain soft graphite foil (106 in 26 or Fig. 1 (B) in Fig. 1 (A)), typically much than 100 μ m-thicks. The SEM image that the cross section of soft graphite foil is presented in Fig. 2 (B), it illustrates have to be not parallel to soft graphite foil surface Orientation many graphite flakes, and there are many defects and flaws.
Largely due to these misorientations of graphite flake and the presence of defect, commercially available soft graphite foil is logical Often with (thickness direction or side Z- (through-plane) between the face of the face internal conductance rate, 15-30S/cm that have about 1,500S/cm To) conductivity, 140-300W/mK face in thermal conductivity between thermal conductivity and the face of about 10-30W/mK.These defects and mistake take To also causing low mechanical strength (for example, defect is potential stress concentration portion position, crackle is preferentially initiated here).These Characteristic is insufficient for many thermal management applications, and the present invention specifically addresses these problems.
In the method for another prior art, expanded graphite worm 24 can be impregnated with resin and then compress and consolidate Change to form Flexible Graphite Composites 28, intensity is generally also low.In addition, after resin dipping, the electricity of the graphite worm Conductance and thermal conductivity can reduce by two orders of magnitude.
Alternatively, high-intensitive air-jet mill, high-intensitive ball mill or Vltrasonic device, which can be used, makes the extruding Graphite is subjected to high-strength mechanical shearing/separating treatment to generate the nano-graphene platelet 33 (NGP) of separation, wherein all stone Black alkene platelet is thinner than 100nm, most of to be thinner than 10nm and be single-layer graphene in many cases (also as in Fig. 1 (B) Shown in 112).NGP is made of a graphene film or multiple graphene films, wherein each is the two dimension of carbon atom, six sides knot Structure.
Further alternatively, under low-intensity shearing, graphite worm tends to be separated into so-called exfoliated graphite sheet (108 in Fig. 1 (B), there is > the thickness of 100nm.Papermaking can be used in these thin slices or felt technique be formed as graphite paper or Felt 106.This expanded graphite paper or felt 106 are the simple aggregation body or stacked body of discrete sheet, there is defect, interrupt and this Misorientation between a little discrete sheets.
Can be used paper technology will a large amount of multiple NGP (discrete patch/platelet including single layer and/or few layer graphene, 33 in Fig. 1 (A)) graphene paper (114 in 34 or Fig. 1 (B) in Fig. 1 (A)) are made.Fig. 3 (B) is shown using paper maker The SEM image for graphene paper/film cross section that skill is prepared by discrete graphene film.Described image show in the presence of being folded or Many discrete graphene films of (not being integration) are interrupted, most of platelet orientations are not parallel to film/paper surface, lack there are many Sunken or flaw.Even if these NGP aggregations still show relatively low conductivity when by closs packing.
Precursor in conjunction with graphene oxide film on metal foil is graphene oxide gel 21 (Fig. 1 (A)).This GO is solidifying Glue obtains in the following manner: in the reaction vessel, will immerse Strong oxdiative liquid in the graphite material 20 of powder or fibers form In to form suspension or slurry, the suspension or slurry are initially optically opaque and dark.This is optically opaque Degree reflect the fact that: oxidation reaction at the beginning, discrete graphite flake and the discrete graphite oxide in follow-up phase The scattering of alkene thin slice and/or absorption visible wavelength, lead to the flowing material of opaque and usual dark color.If allowing graphite powder End carries out sufficiently long a period of time with reacting between oxidant under sufficiently high reaction temperature, then this opaque suspension It is transformed into brown color and typically translucent or transparent solution, is known as the equal of " graphene oxide gel " now Uniform flow body (21 in Fig. 1 (A)), the homogeneous (uniform) fluid are free of recognizable discrete graphite flake or graphite oxide platelet.If It distributes and deposits off field in shear stress, the GO gel experience viscosity reduces and molecularly oriented is to form " GO of orientation " 35, It can be heat-treated to become the monolithic thin-film entity 37 being integrated in metal foil.
In addition, this graphene oxide gel be typically it is optically transparent or translucent and visually uniform, do not have Recognizable discrete sheet/platelet of graphite dispersed therein, graphene or graphene oxide.In the GO gel, GO Molecule is equably dissolved in acidic liquid medium.In contrast, discrete graphene film, graphene oxide sheet and expanded graphite Conventional suspension liquid of the thin slice in fluid (for example, water, organic acid or solvent) seem color for dark, black or dark-brown, Even if wherein individual graphene or graphene oxide sheet or exfoliated graphite sheet are with the naked eye or low magnifying power light microscope (100X-1,000X) is also that can distinguish or identifiable.
The graphene oxide molecule of the dissolution of graphene oxide gel in liquid medium is aromatic series chain, the aromatic series Chain, which has, is typically less than 1,000, more typically less than 500 and in many cases average phenyl ring in the chain less than 100 Number.From combined atomic force microscope, high-resolution TEM and molecular weight measurement, most of molecules, which have, is more than 5 or 6 phenyl ring (most of > 10 phenyl ring).Based on our elemental analysis, the aromatic molecule of these phenyl ring types is heavy oxidation, is contained Have the functional group (such as-COOH and-OH) of high concentration, and therefore in polar solvent (such as water) be " soluble " (more than It is dispersible).The estimation molecular weight of these graphite oxide alkene polymers in gel state typically 200 grams/mol with Between 43,000 grams/mol, more typically between 400 grams/mol and 21,500 grams/mol and most typically 400 Gram/mol and 4,000 grams/mol between.The typical viscosities value of GO gel is shown in Fig. 8 (A) to Fig. 8 (C).
These shla molecules behave like polymer and can unexpectedly react with each other and become chemistry even Connecing has good structural intergrity and high heat conductance (during subsequent heat treatment or graphitization processing again) to be formed Graphene layer.Conventional discrete graphene film, graphene oxide sheet or graphite flake does not have any autoreaction or cohesive adhesive Ability.Also extremely surprisingly, during subsequent heat treatment or graphitization processing again, these in the GO gel can Soluble molecule can be chemically combined metal foil surface.
Once again, definitely and most significantly, continuing when drying at sufficiently high temperature and being heat-treated the gel When the sufficiently long period, with these graphene oxide molecules existing for GO gel state can mutual chemical combine, connection or Merge, and becomes integrally to turn to extremely long and wide graphene layer (for example, Fig. 3 (A)).Do not have individual graphene platelet or Piece is recognizable;They have been chemically converted as chemically active or living GO molecule, and the molecule is fully connected to each other And chemical integration is to form stratiform integral piece ontology (unitary body) on graphene planes direction, and these are whole What part formula ontology was seemingly combined along thickness-direction (or the direction Z-) mutual chemical.X-ray diffraction, which is studied, to be had confirmed, d- Spacing (distance between graphene planes) has been restored to about 0.3354nm (oxygen with by weight 0.01%) to 0.40nm (oxygen with about 5.0%-10%).Any gap is not appeared between these graphene layers, and therefore, these layers are basic On be merged into a big integral piece ontology.Fig. 3 (A) depicts the example of such huge integral piece ontology.In Fig. 3 (C) Further illustrate the forming method for such graphene entity.
It is natural to be selected from by the starting graphite material of heavy oxidation in order to form the purpose of graphene oxide gel Graphite, artificial graphite, mesocarbon, mesophase pitch, carbonaceous mesophase spherules, soft carbon, hard carbon, coke, carbon fiber, carbon Nanowire Dimension, carbon nanotube, or combinations thereof.The graphite material preferably in the form of powder or short long filament, have lower than 20 μm, it is more excellent The size that choosing is lower than 10 μm, is further preferably no larger than 5 μm and more preferably less than 1 μm.
Use the artificial graphite of the average grain diameter with 9.7 μm as example, typical program is related to graphite particle point Dissipate in typically 0 DEG C -60 DEG C at a temperature of sulfuric acid, nitric acid and potassium permanganate (weight ratio in 3:1:0.05) oxygen Continue in agent mixture typically at least 3 days, preferably 5 days and 7 days or longer more preferable.Gained in gel aoxidizes stone The average molecular weight of black alkene molecule is about 20,000-40 if being 3 days if the processing time, 000 gram/mol, if it is 5 days If be < 10,000 gram/mol, and be < 4,000 gram/mol if being longer than 7 days.Required gel formation time takes Certainly in the partial size of original graphite material, lesser partial size needs the shorter time.It is important to note that, if not up to critical The suspension (graphite particle being dispersed in oxidant liquid) of gel formation time, powdered graphite and oxidant seems complete It is opaque and uneven, it means that discrete graphite particle or thin slice still suspend (but insoluble) in liquid medium.Once More than this crash time, entire suspension reforms into optical translucent or transparent (if GO content is sufficiently low) and brown Color, it means that the graphite of heavy oxidation loses its original graphite identity completely and gained graphene oxide molecule is complete It is dissolved in oxidant liquid, forms uniform solution (being no longer suspension or slurry).
It must further be noted that if by the suspension after the processing time of shorter than required gel formation time Or slurry rinses and dry, we will only recycle graphite oxide powder or graphite intercalation compound (GIC) powder, can be with Afterwards by extruding and separate to generate discrete nano-graphene platelet (NGP).In the strong oxidizer and enough oxygen of not sufficient amount In the case where changing the duration, the graphite or graphite oxide particle cannot be converted into GO gel state.
If the graphene oxide gel be by with original graphite crystallite dimension (for example, average grain size, Dg) Graphite material obtain, gained graphene oxide film be be noticeably greater than this initial grain size crystallite dimension stone Black alkene structure.The film does not have and can be identified as any crystal grain relevant to any specific particle of graphite material is originated. It is connected chemically and merges or the one chemical conversion substantially graphene chain of infinite molecular weight when primary granule is converted into When the graphite oxide molecule of network, they lose its identity completely.
Further, even if graphene oxide gel is by the graphite material with multiple graphite microcrystals (for example, natural stone Ink powder end) obtain, the graphite microcrystal does not show preferred crystal orientation (as by X-ray diffraction or electron diffraction Measurement), very high preferred crystal orientation degree, which is also typically shown, in conjunction with gained film on metal foil (such as passes through phase What same X-ray diffraction or electron diffraction measured).This be and another evidence come show to constitute it is original or starting graphite The composition graphene planes of the lonsdaleite atom of the particle of material have been chemically modified, have converted, having rearranged, reorientation, company Connect or be crosslinked, merge and integration, be graphitized and even recrystallize again.

Still another example of the invention is a kind of lithium-graphene battery core, and the battery core is by the collector, more in anode The anode of hole nanostructure (for example, comprising the graphene film with high surface area, recharges the lithium ion of period return in battery core It can be deposited thereon, the graphene film is mixed with the lithium powder particle of surface-stable;Or has and be attached in nanostructure Lithium paillon), immersed with liquid electrolyte porous septum, comprising based on graphene active material of cathode (for example, have height Specific surface area with during battery core is discharged capture lithium ion graphene, graphene oxide or graphene fluoride piece) yin Pole and cathode current collector are constituted.Once again, either or both of the anode collector and cathode current collector can be this The collector based on graphene of invention.
Example 1: the preparation of discrete graphene film (NGP) and exfoliated graphite sheet
By with 12 μm of average diameter chopped graphite fibre and natural graphite particles alone serve as starting material, will To prepare graphite intercalation in its mixture (as chemical graft object and oxidant) for immersing the concentrated sulfuric acid, nitric acid and potassium permanganate It closes object (GIC).Starting material is dried for 24 hours at 80 DEG C in vacuum drying oven first.Then, in cooling appropriate and stirring Under, the mixture (weight ratio in 4:1:0.05) of the concentrated sulfuric acid, fuming nitric aicd and potassium permanganate is added slowly to containing fibre In the three-neck flask for tieing up segment.After reaction in 16 hours, the processed graphite fibre of acid or natural graphite particles are filtered And it is sufficiently washed with deionized water until the pH level of solution reaches 6.After being dried overnight at 100 DEG C, insert gained graphite Layer compound (GIC) through heat-shock continues 45 seconds at 1050 DEG C in tube furnace, and to form expanded graphite, (or graphite is compacted Worm).
The alcohol that 5 grams of gained expanded graphites (graphite worm) and 2,000ml are made of pure and mild distilled water with the ratio of 65:35 Solution mixes 12 hours to obtain suspension.Then, the ultrasonic radiation for making mixture or suspension be subjected to power 200W continues The different time.After sonication in two hours, EG particle is by effectively fragment at thin NGP.Then, by the suspension mistake It filters and dries at 80 DEG C to remove residual solvent.The NGP for preparing original sample has the average thickness of about 9.7nm.
Make other 5 grams of gained expanded graphites (EG) be subjected to the injection of low-intensity air to mill to decompose graphite worm, be formed swollen Swollen graphite flake (average thickness with 139nm).By the sample of exfoliated graphite sheet and graphene film all with adhesive resin (PVDF) it mixes and is then applied in the main surface of Cu foil and Al foil with the collector for forming expanded graphite coating and oxidation The collector of graphene coating.In addition, Al paillon is cleaned with acetone and then with the spraying of both GO and RGO pieces.In lithium electricity Gained collector is evaluated in pond and supercapacitor the two.
Example 2: graphene is prepared by carbonaceous mesophase spherules (MCMB)
Carbonaceous mesophase spherules (MCMB) are by China Steel chemical inc (China Steel Chemical Co. it) supplies.This material has about 2.24g/cm3Density and about 16 μm of median particle diameter.With acid solution (be in 4:1: Sulfuric acid, nitric acid and the potassium permanganate of 0.05 ratio) 72 hours are continued to (10 grams) progress intercalations of MCMB.After completion of the reaction, will Mixture is poured into deionized water and is filtered.MCMB through intercalation is repeatedly washed in 5% solution of HCl big to remove Part of sulfuric acid radical ion.Then sample is repeatedly washed with deionized water until the pH of filtrate is neutral.Slurry is dry simultaneously And continue 24 hours in the vacuum drying oven being stored at 60 DEG C.Dry powder sample is placed in quartz ampoule, and is inserted into Continue 45 seconds in the horizontal pipe furnace being preset at desired 1,080 DEG C of temperature to obtain grapheme material.TEM and atomic force are aobvious Micro mirror is studies have shown that most of NGP are single-layer graphenes.Free-standing graphene paper or deposition is made (even in these graphene films Same resin binder) on thin metal foil.In the case where Al foil, it is also prepared for Al foil (adhesive-free) sample of graphene coating Product.
Example 3: raw graphite alkene piece/platelet preparation
In typical program, about 20 μm are milled to by 5 grams or smaller size of graphite flake is scattered in 1,000mL and goes Ionized water (containing by weight 0.1% dispersing agent, from E.I.Du Pont Company (DuPont)FSO to be hanged in) Supernatant liquid.Extruding, separation and the ruler of graphene film are used for using the ultrasound energy level (Branson S450 ultrasonic generator) of 85W Very little reduction continues 15 minutes to 2 hours periods.
Example 4: the preparation of graphene oxide (GO) gel
Graphene oxide gel be by 30 DEG C with by be in 4:1:0.05 ratio sulfuric acid, sodium nitrate and permanganic acid It is prepared by the oxidant liquid graphite oxide thin slice of potassium composition.When by natural graphite flake (14 μm of partial sizes) submerge and point When being dispersed in oxidant mixture liquid, suspension or slurry seem optically opaque and dark.The suspension is initial 52 It keeps being opaque in the reaction process of hour.However, between when reacted more than 52 hours when, the suspension gradually becomes Optical translucent (a little muddy), and the color of the suspension becomes dark-brown from black.It is described after 96 hours Suspension suddenly becomes the optical clear solution with light brown color.The solution seems very in color and transparency It is even, show the discrete object there is no any dispersion.Entire solution behaves like gel, with typical polymer gel very phase Seemingly.
Unexpectedly, by by this gel curtain coating on metal foil surface (Cu, Al, Ni, Ti or stainless steel) and from Liquid medium is removed in the film of curtain coating, we obtain optically transparent graphene oxide films.This film is looked like, has been touched Come as and behaves like general polymer film.However, being heat-treated typically under certain temperature (from 80 DEG C to 1,500 DEG C) After 1-3 hours, this GO film is changed into the monolithic thin-film entity comprising big size graphene farmland.This GO film is integrated to down well In the metal foil in face.
GO film (the painting of removal liquid medium before the heat treatment is respectively illustrated in Fig. 5 (A), Fig. 5 (B) and Fig. 5 (C) Cover GO gel on the glass surface), heat-treat at 150 DEG C GO film and height reduction and graphited again in one hour The X-ray diffraction curve of GO film (integral piece graphene layer).The peak (Fig. 5 (A)) at about 2 θ=12 ° of dry GO film is right Spacing (d between the graphene of Ying Yu about 0.7nm002).By some heat treatments at 150 DEG C, GO film show to be formed with Hump (Fig. 5 (B)) centered on 22 ° shows to have begun the process of spacing between reducing graphene, shows to be connected chemically and orderly The beginning of process.Heat treatment temperature by 1,250 DEG C continues 3 hours, d002Spacing has been reduced to about 0.34nm, close to stone The 0.3354nm of black monocrystalline.
Heat treatment temperature by 1,500 DEG C continues 3 hours, d002Spacing is reduced to about 0.3354nm, is equal to graphite list Brilliant d002Spacing.In addition, having the second high-intensitive diffraction maximum to occur at 2 θ=55 °, correspond to from (004) plane X-ray diffraction (Fig. 5 (D)).(004) peak intensity on same diffraction curve is relative to (002) intensity or I (004)/I (002) ratio is the crystal perfection degree of graphene planes and the good instruction of preferred orientation degree.For being lower than 2,800 DEG C At a temperature of heat treated all graphite materials, (004) peak be not present or it is relatively weak, I (004)/I (002) ratio < 0.1.The I of heat treated graphite material (for example, height-oriented pyrolytic graphite, HOPG) at 3,000 DEG C -3,250 DEG C (004)/I (002) ratio is in the range of 0.2-0.5.It is presented in Fig. 5 (E) and continues two hours poly- with 3,000 DEG C of HTT An example of PG derived from acid imide shows about 0.41 I (004)/I (002) ratio.In contrast, with 1,500 DEG C HTT continue preparation in 4 hours combination GO film on metal foil show 0.78 I (004)/I (002) ratio and 0.21 Inlay latitude of emulsion value, show the actually perfect graphene monocrystalline with superior preferred orientation degree.It is prepared by GO gel Thin GO layers (< 1 μm) and following metal foil (Cu, Ni, Ti and steel) between there are synergistic effects.
" inlaying the latitude of emulsion " value is obtained by the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of (002) reflection in x-ray diffraction intensity curve.It is this orderly The index characterization graphite or graphene crystalline size (or crystallite dimension) of degree, the amount of crystal boundary and other defect and preferred crystalline substance The grain degree of orientation.The almost ideal monocrystalline of graphite is characterized by having that 0.2-0.4's inlays latitude of emulsion value.Our integral piece stone (wherein heat treatment temperature is not less than 1,500 to most of latitude of emulsion values of inlaying having in the range of this 0.2-0.4 of black alkene material ℃)。
It is noted that the I (004) for the whole dozens of soft graphite samples studied/I (002) ratio be entirely < < 0.05, in most cases not actually exist.Even if 3, after being heat-treated 2 hours at 000 DEG C, all graphene papers/ The I (004) of film sample/I (002) ratio < 0.1.Graphitization passes through the CVD that Cu the is catalyzed ultrathin membrane (thickness < 2nm) prepared Trial has instead resulted in the rupture of film and the formation of graphite particle.These observation results are further confirmed or have been affirmed below The viewpoint of foundation: the metal foil of combination GO film of the invention is any pyrolytic graphite with freestanding or coating on metal foil (PG), soft graphite (FG) and ordinary graphite alkene/GO/RGO piece/platelet (NGP) paper/film/film fundamentally different one kind New and distinguishing material.
Between the graphene of GO by being heat-treated acquisition under the different temperatures in wide temperature range gel derived GO film Distance values are summarized in Fig. 6 (A).The corresponding oxygen content value in the gel derived GO film of the GO is shown in Fig. 6 (B).For Correlation between graphene between spacing and oxygen content is shown, the data in Fig. 6 (A) and Fig. 6 (B) are repainted in Fig. 6 (C) in.There are 4 (80 DEG C -200 DEG C of HTT range to be shown to examining for Fig. 6 (A) to Fig. 6 (C);200℃-500℃; 500℃-1,250℃;With 1,250 DEG C -1,500 DEG C), generate 4 corresponding spacing ranges between oxygen content range and graphene. The thermal conductivity of GO gel derived GO film and corresponding soft graphite (FG) foil (is also used as identical final heat treatment temperature range Function draw) be summarized in Fig. 6 (D).
It is important to note that, is enough to make spacing between the average graphite alkene in GO to be lower than down to 500 DEG C of heat treatment temperatures 0.4nm becomes closer to spacing between the average graphite alkene of natural graphite or graphite monocrystalline.The pleasant place of this method is following sight Point: this GO gel strategy allows us to will be from the plane oxidation graphite of initially different graphite particle or graphene film Alkene molecular recombination, reorientation and chemistry are merged into graphene monolithic, wherein all graphene planes are at this moment in lateral dimension It upper larger (the noticeably greater than length and width of original graphite alkene plane) and is substantially parallel to each other.This generated > The thermal conductivity of 420W/mK (HTT is 500 DEG C) and > 950W/mk (HTT is 700 DEG C), this value than corresponding soft graphite foil (200W/mK) is big more than 2 to 4 times.These planes GO molecule is derived from graphene planes, and the graphene planes constitute starting day The prototype structure of right graphite particle (for graphite oxidation to be formed in the program of GO gel).Original natural graphite particles, when with When machine is piled into aggregation or " graphite green compact ", there will be it to constitute graphene planes random orientation, and show relatively low heat Conductance simultaneously has the intensity (no structural intergrity) being substantially zero.In contrast, the intensity of integral piece graphene layer is not (even if having Have the reinforcer of addition) typically in the range of 40-140MPa.
In the case where HTT is down to 800 DEG C, gained integral piece graphene layer shows the thermal conductivity of 1,148W/mK, with The 244W/mK of the soft graphite foil of identical heat treatment temperature observed is contrasted.In fact, no matter how high (the example of HTT Such as, even as high as 2,800 DEG C), soft graphite foil only shows the thermal conductivity lower than 600W/mK.At 2,800 DEG C of HTT, this hair Bright integral piece graphene layer provides the thermal conductivity (Fig. 4 (A) and Fig. 6 (D)) of 1,807W/mK, even if metal foil is such high At a temperature of melted.
Scanning electron microscope (SEM), the transmission electron microscope (TEM) of the lattice imaging of graphene layer are also carried out Figure and selective electron diffraction (SAD), light field (BF) and dark field (DF) image are to characterize the structure of integral piece grapheme material. In order to measure the section view of film, sample is buried in the polymer matrix, is sliced using ultramicrotome, and with Ar plasma Body etching.
The graphene layer shown in one chip GO film is examined and compared to Fig. 2 (A), Fig. 3 (A) and Fig. 3 (B) It is essentially parallel from one to another orientation;But for soft graphite foil and graphene oxide paper, situation is not in this way.Two in GO film entity Inclination angle between a identifiable layer is in most cases less than 5 degree.In contrast, there are so many in soft graphite Graphite flake, kink and misorientation are folded so that many in angle between two graphite flakes is greater than 10 degree, one A little up to 45 degree (Fig. 2 (B)).Although misorientation (Fig. 3 between graphene platelet without so bad, in NGP paper It (B)) is also that there are many gaps between high and platelet.The integral piece graphene entity is substantially gapless.
Fig. 4 (A) respectively illustrates the gel derived GO film of GO, by the vacuum assisted filtration RGO GO platelet paper prepared and The heat conductivity value of FG foil is entirely drawn as the function of final HTT.These data have clearly demonstrated GO film Superiority under given heat treatment temperature in terms of achievable thermal conductivity.About by raw graphite alkene or graphene oxide The work that piece/platelet prepares all prior arts of paper or film follows visibly different machining path, generate discrete graphene/ The simple aggregation body or stacked body of GO/RGO platelet.The graphite that these simple aggregation bodies or stacked body show many foldings is thin Piece, kink, gap and misorientation lead to thermal conductivity, low conductivity and the weak mechanical strength of difference.As shown in Fig. 4 (A), Even if under 800 DEG C of heat treatment temperature, GO platelet paper also shows the thermal conductivity less than 1,000W/mK up to 2, it is far below GO gel derived integral piece graphene entity > 1,700W/mK.
In order to compare, polyimide film is also carbonized 1 hour at 500 DEG C under an inert atmosphere and 1,000 by we Be carbonized 3 hours at DEG C, and then at a temperature in the range of 2,500 DEG C -3,000 DEG C by the film be graphitized 1 to 5 hour with Form conventional pyrolysis graphite (PG) film.Fig. 4 (B) is shown derived from film derived from thermally treated 3 hours GO and CVD carbon film The heat conductivity value of PG is entirely drawn as final graphitization or the again function of graphitization temperature.These data are shown, false If identical HTT continues the heat treatment time of equal length, compared with the gel derived GO film of individual GO, by by polyamides Imines (PI), which is carbonized and the PI through being carbonized then is graphitized generated routine PG, shows consistently lower thermal conductivity. For example, the PG from PI shows the thermal conductivity of 820W/mK at 2,000 DEG C after graphitization processing one hour, and 2,000 The thermal conductivity of 1,242W/mK is shown after handling 3 hours at DEG C.These observation results have been proven that raw using GO gel method It produces and combines GO film on metal foil relative to using the clear and significant excellent of conventional PG method production orientation graphite crystal Point.In fact, no matter PG graphitization time how long, thermal conductivity is always lower than the thermal conductivity of the gel derived GO film of GO.In other words, In terms of chemical composition, crystal and defect sturcture, crystal orientation, form, production technology and characteristic, in conjunction with GO on metal foil Film is fundamentally different from and is clearly distinguishable from soft graphite (FG) foil, graphene/GO/RGO paper/film and pyrolytic graphite (PG)。
Data in Fig. 4 (C) further support conclusions, the entire model illustrated in the final HTT studied In enclosing, the conductivity value of GO film derived from GO is far superior to those of GO paper and FG foil from RGO platelet value.
Example 5: conductivity and the thermal conductivity measurement of film derived from different graphene oxide gels
To individual GO layers of film (coated in what is in metal foil surface and be then stripped and be heat-treated), GO/ RGO paper and individually FG foil carry out four-point probe test to measure their face internal conductance rate.Use laser flash method (Netzsch thermal diffusivity device) measures thermal conductivity in their face.
Have studied thermal conductivity and conductivity and tensile properties in the face of different films.Under about 75 μm of thickness, if FG Foil is heat-treated not at 700 DEG C or higher than 700 DEG C, then the thermal conductivity of individual soft graphite foil is less than 237W/mK.With Recompression heat treatment temperature increases to 2,800 DEG C (in each case, one hour graphitization processing) from 700 DEG C afterwards, described The thermal conductivity of FG foil increases to 582W/mK from 237W/mK, shows that the heat treatment has caused some but limited graphite-structure weights Group.In contrast, the thermal conductivity of individual GO gel derived thin graphene layer increases to 1,807W/mK from 983W/mK.This is thin Film obtains in the following manner: shearing on Cu foil surface and deposits one layer of GO gel, in a vacuum from GO layers described Except liquid continues 1 hour, and it is heat-treated dried solid GO layers.This demonstrate by it is described heat treatment cause it is significant or Noticeable graphite-structure recombination, wherein all GO molecule edge-to-edges and connecting or being merged into Face to face fully and orderly The integrated graphene ontology for the graphene planes that ground combines.
It has also obtained corresponding soft graphite foil (by the standby FG of the roll pressing of expanded graphite worm) and expanded graphite is thin Piece foil or felt (prepare in the following manner: graphite worm being resolved into the graphite flake as described in example 1, the graphite is thin Piece then be stacked and be rolled into thin foil/felt) thermal conductivity data.It is with the accessible highest heat conductivity value of expanded graphite foil < 800W/mK, and be < 600W/mK with the accessible value of FG, the two remarkably lower than integral piece graphene base body and The highest heat conductivity value of both graphene-based composite materials.
Example 6: the tensile strength of the graphene-based composite material of integral piece derived from different graphene oxides
It is prepared for a series of gel derived film graphene layer of GO, GO platelet paper and FG foil.Use universal testing machine Measure the tensile strength of these materials.Function as graphitization temperature again draws graphene oxide film, GO platelet paper and FG The tensile strength values of paper, Fig. 7 (A).These data are soft it has been proved that when heat treatment temperature is from when increasing to 2,800 DEG C for 700 DEG C Property graphite foil tensile strength keep relative constant (whole < 20MPa), and the tensile strength of GO paper is slightly increased (from 22MPa To 43MPa).In contrast, in identical heat-treatment temperature range, the tensile strength of integral piece graphene layer derived from GO is drawn People increases to > 100MPa from 32MPa with gazing at.This is the result is that quite surprising and further reflect following viewpoint: GO is solidifying GO derived from glue layers of and active molecule living containing height during heat treatment, and the graphene platelet in routine GO paper with Graphite flake in FG foil is substantially dead molecule.Integral piece graphene entity itself derived from GO is a kind of material.
