Description

Preparation method of graphene oxide
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of two-dimensional material preparation, in particular to a preparation method of graphene oxide.
Background
Nowadays, graphene oxide has advantages in various fields, such as biomedicine, flexible conductive films, liquid crystal optical materials, energy storage materials, and the like. The transverse size of the graphene oxide is increased, so that the related mechanical and liquid crystal properties of a macroscopic assembly structure assembled by graphene oxide sheets can be improved, and the market hopes to prepare the large-size graphene oxide due to the advantages of few nodes, few edge contacts, high orientation and the like. However, the graphene oxide produced in large scale is prepared by premixing graphite and concentrated sulfuric acid, adding a large amount of potassium permanganate, and performing medium temperature oxidation and hydration reaction respectively by using the traditional Hummers method. Longer oxidation times and large amounts of oxidizing agent ensure the stripping effect, but introduce more defect sites. Through hydration and washing processes, the transverse size of the graphene oxide is greatly reduced under the action of water molecules and mechanical force, and the performance of a rear-end product is seriously influenced. In addition, the use of a large amount of an oxidizing agent not only increases the cost of use and post-treatment, but also causes environmental pollution. Therefore, it is urgently needed to develop a preparation method of graphene oxide with low cost, high exfoliation and large size.
Generally, graphene having a size of more than 50 μm is called large-sized graphene, and when large-sized graphene oxide is prepared by the Hummers method, large-sized graphite is required as a raw material. CN113860295, namely graphene oxide prepared from large-particle-size flake graphite, adopts large-particle-size graphite of 45 to 325 μm, firstly performs pre-intercalation with concentrated sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide to obtain expanded graphite, adds the expanded graphite into a concentrated sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid mixed acid solution to perform a protection reaction, and then performs an oxidation reaction and a hydration stage to prepare the large-size graphene oxide. However, the use and discharge of phosphoric acid causes environmental pollution problems and increases the use and purification costs. In order to make the preparation method relatively green and environment-friendly, CN107140632, "a preparation method of large-sized graphene oxide lamella with high mechanical strength", adopts large-sized flake graphite as a raw material, and prepares large-sized graphene oxide by adding potassium persulfate and performing ultrasonic-assisted intercalation reaction. Although the method has high oxidation and stripping efficiency, the size of graphene oxide is inevitably reduced to a certain extent by the ultrasonic assistance. In order to introduce a new method for accelerating the reaction rate, CN111925637, a rapid curing unsaturated polyester resin for vacuum introduction, introduces a compound accelerator E1 and the unsaturated polyester resin into a forming die for curing reaction under the vacuum-pumping process condition, greatly accelerates the curing reaction rate among systems, eliminates bubbles in the reaction process, shortens the demolding time and saves the cost.

Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present solution are described in further detail below. It is clear that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present solution, and not an exhaustive list of all embodiments. It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, features of the embodiment and the embodiment may be combined with each other without conflict.
The state of stage1 in the present application is a state in which an intercalating agent is present between 2 adjacent graphene sheets.
As the traditional Hummers method for preparing the graphene oxide needs to add a large amount of oxidant in an oxidation stage, and the oxidation time is long. Resulting in excessive oxidation and breakage of the product and greatly reducing the transverse dimension of the graphene oxide. The small-size graphene oxide not only reduces the yield of finished products, but also influences the electric conduction and heat conduction performance of the graphene.
The inventor of the application proposes to adopt the process of evacuation processing respectively in pre-intercalation and oxidation stage, because the influence of vacuum, only can let the interlamellar spacing of scale graphite inseparabler and laminate, but persulfate has taken place chemical reaction under the concentrated acid system, its mechanism is when the intercalation stage, persulfate has generated hydrogen sulfate radical and oxygen under the system of concentrated acid, can accelerate the desorption of oxygen through the evacuation, hydrogen sulfate radical that produces is favorable to forming the graphite compound of stage1 state in the time of quickening reaction rate, the hydrogen sulfate radical that produces has slightly inserted the graphite interlayer, its volume phase has expanded several times than original scale graphite after leading to pre-intercalation.
The inventor of the application prepares the graphene oxide with low oxidation and large size by respectively performing vacuum pumping processes in a preamplification stage and an oxidation stage in a Hummers system.
Because the persulfate generates hydrogen sulfate and oxygen in a concentrated sulfuric acid system in the pre-intercalation stage, the removal of the oxygen can be accelerated by vacuumizing, the hydrogen sulfate generated while the reaction rate is accelerated is favorable for forming a graphitized intercalation substance in a stage1 state, the reaction is shown as a formula 1,
2S 2 O 8 2- +2H 2 O→4HSO 4 - +O 2 ↓ (reaction in concentrated acid environment) (1)
The vacuum pumping process during the oxidation stage can promote the diffusion of the oxidant (high manganese anhydride) between layers, thereby improving the utilization rate of the oxidant and avoiding the size reduction caused by long-time oxidation and stirring.
The reaction mechanism of the oxidation stage is shown in formula 2 and formula 3:
KMnO 4 +3H 2 SO 4 →k + +MnO 3 + +H 3 O + +3HSO 4 - (2)
MnO 3 + +MnO 4 - →Mn 2 O 7 (high manganese acid anhydride) (3)
According to the method, the vacuumizing reaction is carried out in the oxidation stage, so that the reaction rate can be accelerated, the reaction time can be shortened, the diffusion of the oxidant between graphite layers can be promoted, and the stripping and large-size characteristics of the graphene oxide can be guaranteed while the amount of the oxidant is small.
According to the method provided by the application, by adding a vacuumizing process in the stages of pre-intercalation and oxidation, the consumption of an oxidant is reduced by 50% and the consumption of sulfuric acid is reduced by 30% compared with the original Hummers method. And avoids the problems that the preparation time of the original Hummers method is long and the size of the prepared graphene oxide is influenced due to long-time mechanical force action, and the cost and the energy consumption are increased due to the use of excessive oxidant.
