Description

Electrolytic tank for preparing graphite intercalation and preparation method of graphite intercalation
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of graphene electrochemical preparation, and particularly provides an electrolytic cell for preparing a graphite intercalation and a preparation method of the graphite intercalation.
Background
Compared with a redox method, a hydrothermal method, a physical mechanical method and the like, the electrochemical stripping method is a method for preparing graphene with high speed, high efficiency, environmental protection, low cost and high quality. The basic principle of the method is as follows: in different electrolytes, graphite is used as an anode (or a cathode), ions are driven to be inserted into a graphite electrode under the action of an electric field to form a Graphite Intercalation Compound (GIC), so that the volume of the electrode is expanded to reduce the van der Waals force between layers, and the diffusion force of gas is generated through GIC oxidation or reduction reaction to ensure that the microstructure of the graphite layer is expanded in a large proportion and effectively exfoliated, and finally the single-layer or few-layer graphene is obtained through exfoliation.
The method is mainly characterized in that: (1) graphite is generally used as a raw material, so that the price is low and the reserves are abundant; (2) the reaction condition is mild, the operation is simple, and the preparation cost is low; (3) compared with a chemical graphite oxide reduction method, the method reduces the oxidation degree of graphite, so that the original structure of the graphite is kept to a great extent; (4) the experimental parameters such as voltage and current can be accurately adjusted, and the repeatability and controllability of graphene preparation are guaranteed.
At present, the intercalation of graphite cathode is still in the research stage, the graphite anode oxidation method is gradually applied industrially, and the structure of the electrolytic cell for graphite anode oxidation is shown in the figure 1-2. The advantages of the graphite anodizing process are numerous, but the disadvantages are also evident: (1) in the electrolytic process, the graphite anode falls off from the anode plate randomly after forming a Graphite Intercalation Compound (GIC) in the oxidation reaction process, and the layer number and the sheet diameter are uncontrollable, so that the consistency of the product is poor; (2) the detached GIC falls to the bottom of the electrolytic cell, and if the GIC is out of the electric field, no intercalation chance exists. If the GIC is accumulated at the bottom of the electric field, there is also an opportunity for intercalation of the GIC, but the working environment of the whole electric field is changed: the resistance of the conductive ions flowing in some GIC regions is increased, so that the current density in different upper and lower regions in an electric field is not uniform, and the GIC generated by the upper and lower reactions of an anode plate is not uniform. Negatively affects the consistency and yield of graphite intercalation.
