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
Today, graphene oxide has demonstrated advantages in various fields, such as biomedical, flexible conductive films, liquid crystal optical materials, energy storage materials, and the like, and has been widely used. Increasing the lateral dimensions of graphene oxide can improve the related mechanics and liquid crystal performance of a macroscopic assembly structure assembled by graphene oxide sheets, and the market hopes to prepare large-sized graphene oxide because of the advantages of few nodes, few edge contacts, high orientation and the like. However, the graphene oxide produced in large scale is still prepared by adopting the traditional Hummers method, adding a large amount of potassium permanganate after premixing graphite and concentrated sulfuric acid, and respectively carrying out medium-temperature oxidation and hydration reaction. Longer oxidation times and larger amounts of oxidizing agent ensure stripping effects, but introduce more defect sites. Through the 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 affected. In addition, the use of a large amount of oxidizing agent causes not only an increase in the cost of use and post-treatment but also a problem of environmental pollution. Therefore, development of a preparation method of graphene oxide with low cost, high stripping and large size is urgently needed.
Graphene having a size of more than 50 μm is generally called large-sized graphene, and large-sized graphite is required as a raw material when large-sized graphene oxide is prepared by Hummers method. In CN113860295 'preparation of graphene oxide by large-particle-size crystalline flake graphite', large-particle-size graphite with the particle size of 45-325 μm is adopted, firstly, pre-intercalation is carried out on the large-particle-size crystalline flake graphite with concentrated sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide to obtain expanded graphite, the expanded graphite is added into a mixed acid solution of the concentrated sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid for protection reaction, and then the large-size graphene oxide is prepared through oxidation reaction and hydration stages. 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, the CN107140632 'a preparation method of large-size graphene oxide sheets with high mechanical strength' adopts large-size crystalline flake graphite as a raw material, and prepares large-size graphene oxide by adding potassium persulfate and performing ultrasonic-assisted intercalation reaction. Although the oxidation and stripping efficiency is high, the method involves ultrasonic assistance, and the reduction of the size of graphene oxide to a certain extent is unavoidable. In order to introduce a new method for accelerating the reaction rate, in CN111925637 'a rapid curing unsaturated polyester resin for vacuum introduction', a compound accelerator E1 and the unsaturated polyester resin are introduced into a forming die for curing reaction under the condition of a vacuumizing process, so that the curing reaction rate between systems is greatly accelerated, bubbles in the reaction process are eliminated, the demolding time is shortened, and the cost is saved.

Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present solution are described in further detail below. It is clear that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present solution, not an exhaustive list of all embodiments. It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments in the present solution may be combined with each other.
The stage1 state in the present application is a state in which an intercalator is present between all 2 adjacent graphene sheets.
Since the conventional Hummers method for preparing graphene oxide requires a large amount of oxidant to be added in the oxidation stage, the oxidation time is long. Excessive oxidation and crushing of the product are caused, and the transverse dimension of the graphene oxide is greatly reduced. The small-size graphene oxide not only reduces the yield of finished products, but also can influence the electric conductivity and the heat conductivity of the graphene.
The inventor of the application proposes that vacuum treatment processes are adopted in the pre-intercalation stage and the oxidation stage respectively, and because of the influence of vacuum degree, the interlayer spacing of the crystalline flake graphite is only more compact and attached, but the persulfate has chemical reaction under a concentrated acid system.
The inventor adopts vacuum-pumping technology in Hummers system in pre-intercalation stage and oxidation stage to prepare graphene oxide with low oxidation and large size.
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 generated hydrogen sulfate is beneficial to forming graphitized intercalation in a stage1 state while the reaction rate is accelerated, the reaction is shown in a formula 1,
2S 2 O 8 2- +2H 2 O→4HSO 4 - +O 2 ∈ (reaction under concentrated acid environment) (1)
The vacuumizing process can promote the diffusion of the oxidant (high manganese anhydride) between layers during the oxidation stage, so that the utilization rate of the oxidant is improved, and the size reduction caused by long-time oxidation and stirring is avoided.
The reaction mechanism of the oxidation stage is shown in the formulas 2 and 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 anhydride) (3)
According to the method, through carrying out vacuum reaction in the oxidation stage, the reaction rate can be increased, the reaction time can be shortened, meanwhile, the diffusion of the oxidant between graphite layers can be promoted, and the stripping and large-size characteristics of the graphene oxide are ensured while the consumption of the oxidant is small.
The method provided by the application reduces the oxidant consumption by 50% and the sulfuric acid consumption by 30% compared with the original Hummers method by adding a vacuumizing process in the pre-intercalation and oxidation stages. And the long preparation time of the original Hummers method and the possible influence of long-time mechanical force on the prepared graphene oxide size and the increased cost and energy consumption caused by using excessive oxidant are avoided.
The present application is illustrated by the following specific examples.
