Description

Method for preparing graphene oxide by electrochemical method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of graphene oxide preparation, in particular to a method for preparing graphene oxide by an electrochemical method.
Background
Graphene oxide is a layered graphite oxide, with surface functional groups providing abundant and effective active sites. In addition, graphene oxide possesses tunable electronic properties. In general, due to the large number of sp3The hybrid carbon atoms combine with oxygen-containing groups to produce an insulating layer which allows a monolithic resistance of up to 1012Ωsq-1Or higher. Graphene oxide also exhibits excellent optical and mechanical properties, respectivelyThe field is widely applied to adjusting the light transmittance of the graphene oxide film by changing the thickness of the graphene oxide film and the reduction degree of the graphene oxide. Generally, a graphene oxide thin film suspended in water shows a dark brown to bright yellow state due to a difference in concentration. In general, the mechanical properties of graphene oxide are determined by the degree and thickness of oxidation, and the like. Although the graphene oxide has rich characteristics, the graphene oxide still has some defects in practical application, and the electrical performance and the specific surface area of the graphene oxide are affected by structural defects, poor dispersibility and multi-layer thickness. The insulating properties of conventional graphene oxide also limit its application in electronic devices and energy storage. However, the oxygen-containing functional group on the surface of graphene oxide itself can greatly increase its structure and chemical diversity by chemically modifying or functionally optimizing it. Therefore, graphene oxide and the composite material thereof have great potential in the application fields of energy storage conversion and environmental protection.
Due to the excellent properties of graphene, the preparation of graphene is receiving much attention, and among them, the chemical redox method is widely used. The graphene is prepared by an oxidation-reduction method, wherein graphite is treated by strong acid and strong oxidant to obtain expanded graphite with an oxide group intercalation, graphene oxide is obtained by ultrasonic stripping, and finally the graphene is obtained by reduction of a strong reducing agent (such as hydrazine hydrate). The strong acid, the strong oxidant and the strong reducing agent are used for preparing the graphene by using the method, so that the environment is polluted, the surface defects of the graphene prepared by using the method are more, and the graphene sheet layer is easy to fold and curl, so that the performance of the graphene is influenced; and the graphene obtained after reduction by the method has almost no oxide group on the surface, so that the surface is hydrophobic, and the graphene is easy to agglomerate and settle in water and some common organic solvents.
