Description

Method for preparing graphene
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of new material preparation, and particularly provides a method for preparing graphene.
Background
Graphene is a single-layer two-dimensional material consisting of close packing of carbon atoms. The carbon atom having 4 valence electrons, 3 of which are sp2Hybridization forms sigma bond, and the 4 th un-bonded electron forms pi bond with the plane through the sigma bond and other three carbon atoms connected into a hexagonal structure. Based on a unique crystal structure, graphene has excellent optical, thermal, electrical, magnetic and mechanical properties, such as super-strong mechanical properties, extremely high carrier mobility, extremely high heat conductivity, good electromagnetic shielding performance, good optical properties and the like. Although graphene has many excellent properties, three main difficulties have hindered the scaling of grapheneApplication is carried out. The first difficulty is how to improve the reduction degree of graphene; secondly, how to uniformly disperse the graphene in the solvent; and the difficulty is three, how to purify the prepared graphene.
At present, the graphene oxide is usually produced in a large scale by an oxidation graphite method, and then the graphene oxide is reduced to obtain the graphene. The graphene reduced by the chemical reagent can only remove part of oxygen-containing functional groups, recover part of structures and part of performances, and has poor reduction effect.
The reason why the graphene is difficult to disperse in the solvent is that pi-pi interaction between carbon atoms and van der waals interaction between sheets make the graphene easily agglomerated and difficult to disperse, which is an inherent property of the graphene. Pure graphene is prone to agglomeration, resulting in significant reduction or even disappearance of many of the properties that are excellent at the nanoscale as graphene lamellae are agglomerated. Due to the hydrophobic and oleophobic characteristics of the graphene, the graphene cannot be dispersed in water, cannot be widely dispersed in various organic solvents, and can be only dispersed in a part of organic solvents in a small amount and unstably, so that the application is greatly limited. Therefore, the research and development of the uniformly dispersed graphene solution have important significance and are important conditions for promoting the application and development of graphene.
A large amount of impurities can be introduced in the preparation process of the graphene, the quality of the graphene can be reduced by the residual impurities, the application of the graphene is seriously influenced, and the difficulty in purification is always a great difficulty in hindering the application of the graphene. When graphene is prepared, graphene oxide is usually produced by using reagents such as graphite powder, sulfuric acid, nitrate, chlorate, potassium permanganate, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid and the like, and the graphene oxide is reduced to obtain graphene, so that impurity elements such as sodium, potassium, manganese, sulfur, nitrogen, chlorine, phosphorus and the like and a large amount of residual reducing agents are inevitably introduced into the graphene. Many downstream applications have high requirements on the purity of graphene, and the impurity content in graphene needs to be strictly controlled, so that purification is very important.
Most of the existing purification modes are purification in the production stage of graphene oxide through dialysis, centrifugation, suction filtration, precipitation and other modes. However, these processes all suffer from various disadvantages including: high cost, long time, poor effect, complex equipment, high content of residual impurities and the like. The removal of impurities in graphene is very difficult in the industry, and no effective method is available at present, which is an important difficulty in restricting the preparation and application of graphene. Therefore, on the basis of the prior art, a person skilled in the art needs to research an efficient, convenient and low-cost method, and the following three points are achieved simultaneously in the process of preparing graphene: (1) the reduction degree of the graphene is improved; (2) various impurities in the graphene are removed efficiently; (3) so that the graphene is uniformly dispersed in various solutions.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects of the prior art, the invention aims to provide a method for preparing graphene, which has better reduction effect, can efficiently and quickly remove various impurities and uniformly disperse graphene in various solvents.
The specific operation principle of the present invention is as follows.
The principle of the invention for improving the reduction degree of graphene is as follows: after chemical reduction, partial oxygen-containing functional groups remain on the surface of the graphene. And then reducing by using an electrochemical reaction, obtaining electrons from the residual oxygen-containing functional groups on the cathode to separate from the graphene, and further reducing the graphene. The reduction degree of the graphene can be controlled and the structural defects can be regulated and controlled by controlling the voltage, the current and the reduction time. Therefore, the reduction degree of the graphene can be improved by combining chemical reduction and electrochemical reduction.
The principle of uniformly dispersing graphene in the solution is as follows: (1) after electrochemical reduction, unreacted reducing agents, chemical reduction products, electrochemical reduction products and other small molecules are adsorbed on the surface of the graphene through the interaction of hydrogen bonds, van der waals force, intermolecular force and the like, so that the agglomeration of the graphene is avoided, the graphene is uniformly dispersed in a solution, and the common small molecules are as follows: ascorbic acid, dehydroascorbic acid, oxalic acid, glucose; (2) when the electrolyte contains water and the voltage applied by the electrochemical reaction exceeds the electrochemical stability window voltage of the water, hydrogen is generated on the cathode and is adsorbed on the surface of the graphene after the hydrogen is generated, so that the agglomeration of the graphene is avoided and the graphene is uniformly dispersed in the solution; (3) after chemical and electrochemical reduction, a dispersing agent is added into the graphene solution, the dispersing agent reacts with unreacted reducing agent, a chemical reduction product and an electrochemical reaction product to generate gas, and the generated gas is adsorbed on the surface of the graphene, so that the agglomeration of the graphene is avoided, and the graphene is uniformly dispersed in the solution. The gas generated by the invention is one or the mixture of two gases as follows: oxygen, carbon dioxide; (4) after various small molecules adsorbed on the surface of the graphene react with the dispersing agent, the adsorption is desorbed from the surface of the graphene and dissolved in the solution, and the adsorption is replaced by gas. After the dispersing agent is added, the substances for keeping the graphene uniformly dispersed are changed into gas from various small molecules.
The principle of removing impurities in the graphene solution is as follows: the gas adsorbed on the surface keeps the dispersion of the graphene, the solvent can smoothly flow through the graphene interlayer, and various impurities in the solution are taken away during filtering, so that pure graphene uniformly dispersed in the solution is obtained. The impurities removed include: (1) impurities contained in the graphite powder; (2) sodium, potassium, manganese, sulfur, nitrogen, chlorine, phosphorus and other impurity elements are introduced by sulfuric acid, nitrate, chlorate, potassium permanganate, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid and other reagents used in the preparation of graphene oxide; (3) unreacted reducing agent, chemical reduction products, electrochemical reduction products. The method is simple, rapid and efficient, and is beneficial to reducing the production cost of the graphene.
The principle that the graphene can be uniformly dispersed in different solvents is as follows: and (3) uniformly dispersing the graphene solution in the first solvent by utilizing the intersolubility of the solvents, and replacing by using a second solvent to obtain the graphene solution uniformly dispersed in the second solvent.
The principle that the concentration of the graphene solution can be adjusted is as follows: for the graphene solution which is uniformly dispersed, a certain amount of solvent is newly added, or the redundant solvent is removed by filtration, so that the concentration of the graphene solution can be conveniently adjusted. Wherein the concentration of the single-layer graphene solution is generally 0.1 mg/mL to 10 mg/mL, the concentration of the few-layer graphene solution is generally 1 mg/mL to 20 mg/mL, and the concentration of the multi-layer graphene solution is generally 5mg/mL to 200 mg/mL.

The degree of reduction of graphene can be characterized by X-ray diffraction patterns. The surface of the graphene oxide contains a large number of oxygen-containing functional groups, and the oxygen-containing functional groups enable the interplanar spacing of graphene sheets to be increased. After the oxygen-containing functional group is reduced and removed, the interplanar spacing is reduced. The reduction effect can be judged from the interplanar spacing, and the smaller the interplanar spacing, the more oxygen-containing functional groups are removed, and the higher the reduction degree is. Bragg law of X-ray diffraction from crystals: 2dsin theta = n lambda, and the interplanar spacing d can be calculated according to the 2 theta angle of the characteristic peak in the map, so that the reduction effect of the graphene can be judged. The X-ray wavelength used for detection was 0.15406 nm, and the number of diffraction orders n was 1. Fig. 3 is an X-ray diffraction pattern of graphene oxide, 2 θ =12.93 °, and an interplanar spacing d =0.717858 nm. Fig. 4 is an X-ray diffraction pattern after chemical reduction in example 1, 2 θ =25.22 ° and interplanar spacing d =0.352841 nm. Fig. 5 is an X-ray diffraction pattern after electrochemical reduction in example 1, 2 θ =25.80 ° and interplanar spacing d =0.345039 nm. Obviously, the interplanar distance d after electrochemical reduction is further reduced and is smaller than the interplanar distance d after chemical reduction, which shows that most of oxygen-containing functional groups are removed by chemical reduction, more oxygen-containing functional groups are removed by electrochemical reduction, and graphene is further reduced. The X-ray diffraction pattern proves that the reduction degree of the graphene can be improved.
The uniformity of dispersion of graphene in a solution can be judged by measuring the mean and standard deviation of the concentration. A total of 12 groups of samples were measured, 7 samples from each group, and the mean and standard deviation of the concentration were calculated from the measurements. FIG. 6 shows the measurement results of the concentration of graphene solution (chemical + electrochemical reduction), the average value of the sample concentration is 7.33-7.58 mg/mL, and the standard deviation is 0.046-0.112 mg/mL. FIG. 7 shows the measurement results of the concentration of the graphene solution (chemical + electrochemical reduction + dispersant), the average sample concentration is 4.85-5.00 mg/mL, and the standard deviation is 0.043-0.086 mg/mL. FIG. 8 shows the measurement results of the concentration of the graphene solution (chemical + electrochemical reduction + dispersant + filtration displacement), the average value of the sample concentration is 5.38-5.59 mg/mL, and the standard deviation is 0.033-0.078 mg/mL. In consideration of experimental errors, the standard deviation of each sample is very small, and the concentration is very uniform, which indicates that the uniformity of the dispersion of the graphene in the solvent is very good. After the dispersing agent is added, gas is adsorbed on the surface of the graphene, so that the concentration of the solution is lower, which shows that the graphene is more dispersed and looser in the solution, and more space between sheets is provided, thereby being more beneficial for other materials to enter into the sheet layers to form a composite material with the graphene. After the solvent replacement, a small amount of gas escapes, the concentration is slightly increased, and the uniformity of dispersion is unchanged. In conclusion, the uniformity of graphene dispersion in the solution is good before and after the dispersant is added, but after the dispersant is added, graphene lamellar layers are more dispersed, and more solvents are arranged among the lamellar layers, so that the graphene is more beneficial to compounding with other materials. The solvent replacement does not affect the dispersion effect of the graphene, so that the graphene has more application scenes in the downstream industry.
In summary, the present invention provides a method for preparing graphene, which can improve the reduction effect of graphene, so that graphene is uniformly dispersed in various solvents, and various impurities in graphene can be efficiently and conveniently removed. The solvent for dispersing the graphene includes various inorganic solvents and organic solvents, and the removed impurities include: impurities in graphite powder, impurities introduced during preparation and impurities introduced during reduction. The method is beneficial to improving the quality of the graphene, reducing the production cost of the graphene and conveniently adjusting the concentration of the graphene solution.
