In the invention, the volume ratio of the ethanol to the water is preferably 7:3-5:5; the expanded graphite is preferably 1% -5% of the total mass of ethanol and water. In the invention, the rotation speed of the shearing dispersion is preferably 2000-3000 r/min, and the time is preferably 0.5-1.0 h.
The invention mixes the expanded graphite, ethanol and water, which can increase the polarity of the expanded graphite, and further can fully disperse and dissolve the expanded graphite.
After the dispersion liquid is obtained, the dispersion liquid is sequentially homogenized and filtered by suction, and the solid material obtained by suction filtration is dried and crushed to obtain the thin-layer and few-layer graphite sheet materials with the granularity of 20-30 mu m. In the present invention, the homogenizing pressure is preferably 150 to 200Mpa, and the number of times is preferably 2 to 5. In the present invention, the drying temperature is preferably 55 to 65 ℃.
The invention adopts the expanded graphite, the interlayer of the sheet is fluffier, and the thin layer/few layer graphite raw material is easier to obtain through high-pressure homogenization treatment under the infiltration of the solvent, thereby being beneficial to the subsequent oxidation intercalation treatment. The expanded graphite is in an expanded worm shape, has more pores, and has larger subsequent liquid absorption amount, so that the acid consumption is increased, the viscosity is higher, and the operation difficulty in the preparation process is increased. In the invention, the expanded graphite is firstly dispersed, homogenized and filtered, so that the pores can be reduced, and the use amount of acid is further reduced. Furthermore, the dispersion liquid is homogenized to obtain thin-layer and few-layer graphite sheet materials, so that the effects of partial stripping, dispersion and pre-stripping are achieved, and the consumption of concentrated sulfuric acid in the subsequent intercalation stripping process can be reduced.
After obtaining a graphite sheet material, mixing the graphite sheet material with concentrated sulfuric acid according to a mass-volume ratio of 1:15-30, performing ultrasonic treatment, adding potassium permanganate when the temperature of the material is reduced to below 10 ℃, and performing ultrasonic treatment for 0.1-0.5 h at a temperature lower than 10 ℃ to obtain a material to be reacted; and heating the material to be reacted to 28-32 ℃ for 1.9-2.1 h, continuously heating to 38-42 ℃ for 1.4-1.6 h, continuously heating to 48-52 ℃ for 0.5-1.1 h, and obtaining the reaction material. In the invention, the mass ratio of the potassium permanganate to the expanded graphite is 0.5-1.0:1. In the invention, the graphite sheet material can be intercalated and oxidized through the steps.
After the reaction materials are obtained, concentrated sulfuric acid in the reaction materials is separated, and the obtained solid materials are subjected to water washing and filtering to obtain the washed solid materials. In the present invention, the concentrated sulfuric acid is preferably separated by a positive pressure filter. In the invention, the pressure during the filtration and separation of the concentrated sulfuric acid is preferably more than or equal to 0.1Mpa, and the recovery rate of the concentrated sulfuric acid is more than or equal to 70%.
After the washed solid material is obtained, the washed solid material is washed and filtered by adopting sulfuric acid solution with the mass concentration of 0.5% -2%, so that the acid-washed solid material is obtained. In the present invention, it is preferable to wash with sulfuric acid solutions having mass concentrations of 2%, 1% and 0.5%, respectively, in this order. In the invention, the sulfuric acid solution with the mass concentration of 0.5-2% is adopted for washing, so that nitrogen, sulfur and trace elements in the material can be reduced, and the next application is facilitated.
After the pickled solid material is obtained, homogenizing the pickled solid material to obtain the low-oxygen and high-stripping graphene oxide. In the present invention, the solid material is preferably adjusted by adding water to the solid material before homogenizing the solid material. The specific water adding amount is added according to the final use requirement of the product. Meanwhile, the water is added to the solid material, which is favorable for subsequent homogenization. In the present invention, the pressure of the homogenizing pressure is preferably 5 to 20Mpa. In the invention, the acid-washed solid material is homogenized, on one hand, the graphite oxide which is not completely stripped and overlapped in the sheet layer in the preparation process can be further stripped, and a better sheet layer stripping effect is achieved; on the other hand, the homogenization function is realized, so that the size distribution of the lamellar is more concentrated, and the uniformity and the stability of the product are ensured.
The invention firstly carries out pre-stripping on the expanded graphite by physical methods such as dispersion, high-pressure homogenization and the like on the expanded graphite to obtain thin-layer and few-layer graphite sheet materials, achieves the effect of partial stripping, and then adopts an oxidation-reduction process to obtain proper and controllable oxidation degree. By introducing various oxygen-containing functional groups, the subsequent surface modification and modification of the low-oxygen high-peel graphene oxide product are increased, the product has complete lamellar, few defects, higher monolayer rate and lower viscosity, and the subsequent downstream product application is facilitated. The preparation method is simple in preparation process, short in reaction period and capable of improving production efficiency. Meanwhile, the method only uses potassium permanganate and concentrated sulfuric acid, does not introduce other impurities, and has high product purity. In addition, the acid consumption is small, the energy consumption is small, and the environment is protected.
In theory, the higher the oxidation degree of graphene oxide is, the easier the single-layer/few-layer graphene oxide is prepared, but the higher the oxidation degree is, the better the dispersibility is, the more difficult the washing separation process is, and the higher the viscosity of the concentrated final product is. Meanwhile, the high oxidation degree of the product is high, the more defects are, the high oxygen loss rate of the final product is achieved, the low utilization rate of the product is achieved, and great waste is caused. In addition, in the aspect of downstream application, graphene oxide is better in dispersibility, related graphene products are further obtained through subsequent processes, and finally unique properties of the graphene are used.
With the popularization and application of 5G technology, the heat transfer rate directly affects the performance and service life of high-power electronic components. The development of a heat conductive film with thicker film thickness and wider heat flux is needed. After the graphene oxide film with the same thickness (or mass) is coated, the graphene oxide film is subjected to foaming, carbonization, graphitization, calendaring and other processes, and the low-oxygen and high-stripping product has lower oxygen content, lower product loss rate, thicker final film thickness, higher heat flux, higher actual utilization rate of the product and higher heat conduction efficiency. The low-oxygen high-stripping product prepared by the method ensures that the product has higher stripping rate, is endowed with proper oxygen-containing functional groups, ensures excellent dispersibility and usability, has adjustable solid content, and more importantly, improves the utilization rate of the product in downstream application, and comprehensively considers meeting the current 'carbon peak and carbon neutralization' as the time requirement, thereby having higher applicability and popularization.
The invention also provides application of the low-oxygen and high-stripping graphene oxide prepared by any one of the methods in preparation of a graphene heat-conducting film.

Performance testing
1. SEM examination
SEM examination was performed on the raw expanded graphite, the thin layer of example 1, the few-layer graphite platelet material, the end products of example 1 and comparative example, respectively. The specific operation method comprises the following steps: diluting an object to be tested into a solution with the solid content of 0.1-0.01% by using ethanol, performing ultrasonic dispersion for 10 minutes, then dripping the solution into a silicon wafer for sample preparation, and placing the sample on the silicon wafer into a field emission scanning electron microscope for SEM (scanning electron microscope) test, wherein the specific test results are shown in figures 1-6.
Wherein:
FIG. 1 shows the raw expanded graphite used in the present invention, and as can be seen from FIG. 1, the raw expanded graphite used in the present invention is in the form of loose porous worms.
FIG. 2 is a sheet of material of the thin and few-layer graphite sheets obtained in example 1. As can be seen from fig. 2, the expanded graphite is subjected to high-pressure homogenization delamination, delamination is complete, and the sheets are thin.
Fig. 3 is a low oxygen, high exfoliation graphene oxide product resulting from example 1. As can be seen from fig. 3, after the low oxidation treatment, the finally obtained graphene oxide sheet is complete, thinner and has high surface peeling degree.
Fig. 4 is graphene oxide prepared in comparative example 1. As can be seen from fig. 4, since the expanded graphite is not subjected to high-pressure homogenization stripping, the material is still in an expanded loose state, and the subsequent chemical oxidation stripping effect is poor due to the low-oxidation treatment.
Fig. 5 is graphene oxide prepared in comparative example 2. As can be seen from FIG. 5, since the final material was not subjected to low-pressure homogenization stripping, the sheet diameter distribution was not uniform and the thickness was not uniform.
Fig. 6 is graphene oxide prepared in comparative example 3. As can be seen from fig. 6, since the crystalline flake graphite is used as the raw material, the high-pressure homogenization physical stripping effect is poor due to the compactness between the crystalline flake graphite layers, and the chemical stripping effect is poor after the low-oxidation treatment, and the crystalline flake is thicker.
2. Thermal Gravity (TG) testing
When the oxygen content of the product is lower, the C content is relatively higher, and the residual amount is higher after carbonization/graphitization treatment. Thus, the ratio of the oxygen content of the product can be reacted by analyzing the residual mass of the TG profile characterizing material.
The products of example 1 and comparative examples 1 to 3 were subjected to thermogravimetric tests, and the specific results are shown in fig. 7 to 10.
Fig. 7 shows low-oxygen, high-exfoliation graphene oxide prepared in example 1 of the present invention. As can be seen from fig. 7: the graphene oxide prepared finally by the method has high residue, which indicates that the graphene oxide prepared by the method has lower oxygen content and higher carbon content.
Fig. 8 is graphene oxide prepared in comparative example 1 of the present invention. As can be seen from fig. 8: the graphene oxide obtained in comparative example 1 has low residual amount, which indicates that the prepared graphene oxide has higher oxygen content and lower carbon content. This is because the expanded graphite material is porous and porous in nature, has a large liquid absorption and a high degree of local oxidation, and, in combination with SEM characterization, it can be seen that the degree of exfoliation and the integrity of the final product differ significantly from those of example 1, since the expanded graphite material is not pre-exfoliated by high pressure homogenization.
Fig. 9 is graphene oxide prepared in comparative example 2 of the present invention. As can be seen from fig. 9: as the final material is not subjected to low-pressure slurry homogenization treatment, the oxidation degree of the material is not greatly different from that of the material in the example 1, and the graphene oxide finally obtained in the comparative example 2 has high residue, which shows that the prepared graphene oxide has lower oxygen content and higher carbon content. However, as can be seen from SEM characterization, the graphene oxide of comparative example 2 has a lower degree of oxidation, but the difference between the material sheet diameter and the sheet layer of the final product is larger than that of example 1, and the effect on the final product performance is larger, because the final product is not subjected to low-pressure slurry homogenization physical treatment.
Fig. 10 is graphene oxide prepared in comparative example 3 of the present invention. As can be seen from fig. 10: the residual amount of the finally prepared graphene oxide is low, which indicates that the finally prepared graphene oxide has higher oxygen content and lower carbon content.
3. Thermal diffusivity test
The products of examples 1 to 3 and comparative examples 1 to 3 were subjected to thermal diffusivity tests using a NETZSCH-LFA467 flash thermal conductivity meter, commercially available from Shanghai Co., ltd. The specific results are shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1 thermal diffusivity results
As can be seen from table 1, the low-oxygen, high-exfoliation graphene oxide prepared by the method of the present invention shows good interfacial heat transfer efficiency. The low-oxygen high-peel graphene oxide prepared by the method has higher sheet integrity, fewer oxidation defects and good interface heat transfer efficiency.
