Description

本発明は、黒鉛粒子分散液の製造方法及び黒鉛粒子分散液に関する。   The present invention relates to a method for producing a graphite particle dispersion and a graphite particle dispersion.

従来から、黒鉛粒子をフィラ−として用いることが広く検討されており、更に、黒鉛粒子をより良好な分散状態で分散させる技術の開発も検討されている。特許文献1には、例えば、カ−ボンブラックを溶媒に対して5〜25重量%、ポリビニルピロリドン(PVP)をカ−ボンブラックに対して20〜60重量%の割合で含み、かつ、式(1):300≦T2/D50≦550(式中、T2は当該分散液のスピン−スピン緩和時間(ms)、D50は当該分散液中のカ−ボンブラックのメディアン径(μm)を示す。)を満たすカ−ボンブラック分散液が開示されている。 Conventionally, the use of graphite particles as fillers has been widely studied, and further development of a technique for dispersing graphite particles in a better dispersion state has been studied. Patent Document 1 includes, for example, 5 to 25% by weight of carbon black with respect to the solvent and 20 to 60% by weight of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) with respect to the carbon black, and a formula ( 1): 300 ≦ T 2 / D 50 ≦ 550 (where T2 is the spin-spin relaxation time (ms) of the dispersion, D 50 is the median diameter (μm) of carbon black in the dispersion) A carbon black dispersion satisfying the above is disclosed.

そして、特許文献1には、溶媒としてN−メチルピロリドンを用いることが好ましく、カ−ボンブラックのメディアン径D50が0.12〜0.20μmであることが記載されている。 Patent Document 1 describes that N-methylpyrrolidone is preferably used as a solvent, and that the median diameter D 50 of carbon black is 0.12 to 0.20 μm.

しかしながら、特許文献1に記載の技術によると、使用する有機溶媒が限定されるという問題があった。   However, according to the technique described in Patent Document 1, there is a problem that the organic solvent to be used is limited.

一方、近年、グラファイトをその層面で剥離して薄片化した薄片化黒鉛をフィラ−として用いる試みもなされている。例えば、特許文献2には、酸化グラファイトを熱的に剥離させた変性グラファイト酸化物材料が提案されている。そして、特許文献2には、実施例において、DMF、NMP、1,2−ジクロロベンゼン又はニトロメタンを溶媒として用いると、安定した分散液が得られることが記載されている。   On the other hand, in recent years, an attempt has been made to use exfoliated graphite obtained by exfoliating graphite on its layer surface as a filler. For example, Patent Document 2 proposes a modified graphite oxide material obtained by thermally exfoliating graphite oxide. Patent Document 2 describes that, in the examples, when DMF, NMP, 1,2-dichlorobenzene or nitromethane is used as a solvent, a stable dispersion can be obtained.

しかしながら、特許文献2に記載の技術によると、グラファイトに変性処理や熱処理を加えているので、得られる変性グラファイト酸化物材料は、グラファイト本来の性質が損なわれているという問題がある。   However, according to the technique described in Patent Document 2, since the graphite is subjected to a modification treatment or a heat treatment, the obtained modified graphite oxide material has a problem that the original properties of graphite are impaired.

The graphite particles may be any of graphite compounds such as graphite, expanded graphite, and graphite intercalation compounds, and exfoliated graphite obtained by exfoliating and exfoliating a graphite compound between its layer surfaces (graphene sheets). In the present invention, the graphene sheet refers to a single sheet-like material composed of a carbon hexagonal mesh plane. Note that a functional group may be chemically bonded to graphite, or a functional group may be artificially bonded to graphite due to weak interaction.

It is an aggregate of small crystals.

膨張黒鉛としては従来公知のものが用いられる。膨張黒鉛の製造方法としては、公知の方法が用いられ、例えば、硫酸と硝酸との混合水溶液中に天然黒鉛を浸漬した後、天然黒鉛を混合水溶液から取り出して水洗して残余化合物とする。この残余化合物を急速加熱して、天然黒鉛の層面間に進入した化合物の分解によって天然黒鉛の層面間の間隔を拡げて天然黒鉛を膨張させる膨張黒鉛の製造方法などが挙げられる。   Conventionally known expanded graphite is used. As a method for producing expanded graphite, a known method is used. For example, after immersing natural graphite in a mixed aqueous solution of sulfuric acid and nitric acid, the natural graphite is taken out from the mixed aqueous solution and washed with water to obtain a residual compound. Examples include a method for producing expanded graphite in which the residual compound is rapidly heated and the natural graphite is expanded by expanding the interval between the natural graphite layers by decomposing the compound that has entered between the natural graphite layers.

黒鉛層間化合物は、上記黒鉛の層面間にインターカレーターを挿入することによって形成されている。黒鉛層間化合物における黒鉛の層面間に挿入されるインターカレーターとしては、特に限定されず、例えば、酸、酸化剤、金属、金属塩、気体、ハロゲン化合物などが挙げられ、高圧条件を用いることなく黒鉛層間化合物を生成することができるので、酸と酸化剤との混合物が好ましい。インターカレーターは単独で用いられても二種以上が併用されてもよい。   The graphite intercalation compound is formed by inserting an intercalator between the graphite layer surfaces. The intercalator inserted between the graphite layer surfaces in the graphite intercalation compound is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include acids, oxidants, metals, metal salts, gases, halogen compounds, and the like, without using high-pressure conditions. Since an intercalation compound can be formed, a mixture of an acid and an oxidizing agent is preferred. An intercalator may be used independently or 2 or more types may be used together.

For example, graphite is dispersed in an intercalator solution, and graphite and A method for producing a graphite intercalation compound by reacting with an intercalator, a method for producing a graphite intercalation compound by reacting graphite and a gaseous intercalator under high pressure, and a graphite by a Hummers-Offeman method using an oxidizing agent. The method of manufacturing an intercalation compound etc. are mentioned, The method of manufacturing a graphite intercalation compound by the Hummers-Offeman method using an oxidizing agent is preferred.

上述の要領で製造された黒鉛層間化合物に薄層化処理を施して、黒鉛層間化合物をその層面間において剥離して原料黒鉛よりも薄層化させて薄片化黒鉛としておくことが好ましい。黒鉛層間化合物に施す薄層化処理としては、例えば、黒鉛層間化合物にマイクロ波又は超音波を照射する方法、黒鉛層間化合物に物理的に応力を加えて黒鉛層間化合物を粉砕する方法などが挙げられる。   It is preferable that the graphite intercalation compound produced as described above is subjected to a thinning treatment, and the graphite intercalation compound is peeled between the layer surfaces so as to be thinner than the raw graphite to obtain exfoliated graphite. Examples of the thinning treatment applied to the graphite intercalation compound include a method of irradiating the graphite intercalation compound with microwaves or ultrasonic waves, and a method of physically applying stress to the graphite intercalation compound to pulverize the graphite intercalation compound. .

黒鉛化合物において、レーザー光回折法により粒度分布を測定した場合に50%体積平均径として得られる値は、小さいと、黒鉛化合物を薄片化して得られる薄片化黒鉛において異方性が得られないことがあり、大きいと、黒鉛化合物の薄片化が進行しにくいことがあるので、0.1〜50μmが好ましい。   In graphite compounds, when the particle size distribution is measured by the laser diffraction method, the value obtained as the 50% volume average diameter is small, and anisotropy cannot be obtained in exfoliated graphite obtained by exfoliating graphite compounds. If it is large, flaking of the graphite compound may not proceed easily, so 0.1 to 50 μm is preferable.

なお、レーザー光回折法により粒度分布を測定した場合に50%体積平均径として得られる値が20μm未満である黒鉛化合物は、例えば、SECカ−ボン社から商品名「SNO−15」などのSNOシリ−ズにて、中越黒鉛工業所から商品名「CX−3000」にて、伊藤黒鉛社からCNP−シリ−ズにて、XGSience社から商品名「XGnP−5」にて市販されている。   In addition, when the particle size distribution is measured by the laser light diffraction method, a graphite compound having a value obtained as a 50% volume average diameter of less than 20 μm is, for example, SNO such as “SNO-15” from SEC Carbon. The series is commercially available under the trade name “CX-3000” from Chuetsu Graphite Industries Co., Ltd. under the name “CNP-Series” from Ito Graphite Co., Ltd. and under the trade name “XGnP-5” from the company XGSience.

なお、黒鉛粒子が凝集してなる黒鉛粒子凝集体は、例えば、XGScience社から商品名「xGnP」シリ−ズ、Angstrom Materials社から商品名「N」シリ−ズにて市販されている。   The graphite particle aggregate obtained by agglomerating graphite particles is commercially available, for example, from XGS Science under the trade name “xGnP” series and from Angstrom Materials under the trade name “N” series.

混合物を作製する際において、黒鉛粒子凝集体の量は、少ないと、黒鉛粒子分散液が黒鉛粒子に起因した機能を発揮しないことがあり、多いと、黒鉛粒子分散液中の黒鉛粒子が再度、凝集してしまうことがあるので、プロトン性極性溶媒100重量部に対して0.1〜1.5重量部が好ましく、0.1〜1重量部がより好ましい。   In preparing the mixture, if the amount of the graphite particle aggregate is small, the graphite particle dispersion may not exhibit the function due to the graphite particles, and if large, the graphite particles in the graphite particle dispersion again Since it may aggregate, 0.1-1.5 weight part is preferable with respect to 100 weight part of protic polar solvent, and 0.1-1 weight part is more preferable.

混合物を作製するにあたって、水素結合可能部位を有する五員環骨格及びアルキル基を有する化合物、又は、水素結合可能部位を有する五員環骨格を含む線状重合体のいずれか一方或いは双方が用いられる。水素結合可能部位を有する五員環骨格及びアルキル基を有する化合物、並びに、水素結合可能部位を有する五員環骨格を含む線状重合体は、水素結合可能部位を有する五員環骨格を有していることからプロトン性極性溶媒と水素結合を形成してプロトン性極性溶媒中に良好に溶解する。   In preparing the mixture, either one or both of a compound having a five-membered ring skeleton having a hydrogen-bondable site and an alkyl group, or a linear polymer having a five-membered ring skeleton having a hydrogen-bondable site is used. . A compound having a 5-membered ring skeleton having a hydrogen-bondable site and an alkyl group, and a linear polymer containing a 5-membered ring skeleton having a hydrogen-bondable site have a 5-membered ring skeleton having a hydrogen-bondable site. Therefore, it forms a hydrogen bond with the protic polar solvent and dissolves well in the protic polar solvent.

更に、水素結合可能部位を有する五員環骨格及びアルキル基を有する化合物は、アルキル基を有している一方、黒鉛粒子凝集体を構成している黒鉛粒子はその表面に極性基を有しておらず、疎水性であることから、水素結合可能部位を有する五員環骨格及びアルキル基を有する化合物のアルキル基によって黒鉛粒子凝集体が包まれた状態となる。   Further, a compound having a five-membered ring skeleton having a hydrogen-bondable site and an alkyl group has an alkyl group, while the graphite particles constituting the graphite particle aggregate have a polar group on the surface thereof. In addition, since it is hydrophobic, the graphite particle aggregate is encased by the alkyl group of the compound having a five-membered ring skeleton having a hydrogen-bondable site and an alkyl group.

又、上述の通り、黒鉛粒子凝集体を構成している黒鉛粒子はその表面に極性基を有しておらず、疎水性であることから、水素結合可能部位を有する五員環骨格を含む線状重合体の主鎖によって黒鉛粒子凝集体が包まれた状態となる。   In addition, as described above, the graphite particles constituting the graphite particle aggregate do not have a polar group on the surface and are hydrophobic, and therefore, a line including a five-membered ring skeleton having a hydrogen bondable site. The aggregate of graphite particles is encased by the main chain of the polymer.

この状態において、後述するように混合物を撹拌することによって、混合物中において、黒鉛粒子凝集体の黒鉛粒子に対して相互作用を有している、水素結合可能部位を有する五員環骨格及びアルキル基を有する化合物、及び/又は、水素結合可能部位を有する五員環骨格を含む線状重合体が互いに相対位置を変化させ、それらの相対変位によって黒鉛粒子凝集体に剥離力を付与し、黒鉛粒子凝集体を解砕し、黒鉛粒子とすることができる。   In this state, by stirring the mixture as will be described later, in the mixture, the five-membered ring skeleton having a hydrogen-bondable site and an alkyl group having an interaction with the graphite particles of the graphite particle aggregates. And / or a linear polymer containing a five-membered ring skeleton having a hydrogen-bondable site changes relative positions to each other, and gives a peeling force to the graphite particle aggregate by their relative displacement. Aggregates can be crushed into graphite particles.

そして、黒鉛粒子凝集体を解砕して得られる黒鉛粒子の表面は、黒鉛粒子凝集体の場合と同様に、水素結合可能部位を有する五員環骨格及びアルキル基を有する化合物のアルキル基、又は、水素結合可能部位を有する五員環骨格を含む線状重合体の主鎖のいずれか一方或いは双方によって包まれた状態となり、黒鉛粒子は、プロトン性極性溶媒中にて凝集することなく均一に分散した状態となる。   And the surface of the graphite particles obtained by pulverizing the graphite particle aggregate is, as in the case of the graphite particle aggregate, an alkyl group of a compound having a five-membered ring skeleton having a hydrogen bondable site and an alkyl group, or And a state in which the main chain of the linear polymer containing a five-membered ring skeleton having a hydrogen-bondable site is enclosed by one or both of them, and the graphite particles are uniformly agglomerated in a protic polar solvent. It becomes a distributed state.

(Dispersing step).

混合物を撹拌する方法としては、汎用の撹拌装置を用いて混合物を撹拌すればよく、このような撹拌装置としては、特に限定されず、例えば、ナノマイザー、超音波照射装置、ボールミル、サンドミル、バスケットミル、三本ロールミル、プラネタリーミキサー、ビーズミル、ホモジナイザーなどが挙げられ、黒鉛粒子凝集体に物理的な付加が加わらないことから、超音波照射装置が好ましい。   As a method of stirring the mixture, the mixture may be stirred using a general-purpose stirring device. Such a stirring device is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a nanomizer, an ultrasonic irradiation device, a ball mill, a sand mill, and a basket mill. , A three-roll mill, a planetary mixer, a bead mill, a homogenizer, and the like, and an ultrasonic irradiation apparatus is preferable because no physical addition is added to the graphite particle aggregate.

黒鉛粒子分散液中に分散している黒鉛粒子において、粒度分布測定装置によって測定された個数分布平均値として求められる平均粒子径は、小さいと、黒鉛粒子の比表面積が大きくなりすぎて再凝集する可能性があり、大きいと、黒鉛粒子分散液中において黒鉛粒子が沈殿する可能性があるので、0.5〜10μmが好ましい。なお、粒度分布測定装置は、例えば、Particle Sizing Systems社から商品名「AccuSizer780」にて市販されている。   In the graphite particles dispersed in the graphite particle dispersion, if the average particle size obtained as the average number distribution measured by the particle size distribution analyzer is small, the specific surface area of the graphite particles becomes too large and re-aggregates. There is a possibility, and if it is large, graphite particles may be precipitated in the graphite particle dispersion, so 0.5 to 10 μm is preferable.

Since graphite particles may precipitate in the particle dispersion, 1 to 300 nm is preferable. The thickness of the graphite particles refers to the maximum dimension of the graphite particles in the direction orthogonal to the surface of the graphite particles when viewed from the direction in which the area of the graphite particles is the largest. The thickness of the graphite particles observed with a transmission electron microscope refers to the arithmetic average value of the thickness of the graphite particles by measuring the thickness of all the graphite particles present in any 10 visual fields observed with the transmission electron microscope. .

透過型電子顕微鏡としては、例えば、日立製作所から商品名「S−800」にて市販されているFE−SEM(Field Emission Scanning Micro Scope)が挙げられる。   Examples of the transmission electron microscope include FE-SEM (Field Emission Scanning Microscope) commercially available from Hitachi, Ltd. under the trade name “S-800”.
