Description

一种超快生长石墨烯的方法 技术领域
本发明属于材料表面功能化领域,具体涉及一类在金属、非金属平面及针尖基底表面大面积范围内超快生长石墨烯的方法。
背景技术
石墨烯是一种由单层碳原子以类蜂巢构型平面堆积而成的二维网状材料,具有优异的光学、电学、热学、力学等物理性质,以及独特的化学性能,可应用于多功能复合材料、有机光电子材料、储氢材料、超级电容器以及微电子器件等领域。石墨烯近年来引起研究人员的广泛关注。高质量大面积石墨烯的可控制备是其应用的先决条件,拓展石墨烯的制备方法以满足不同领域应用的需求是该领域研究需要解决的首要问题。目前石墨烯制备的主要方法包括机械剥离法、氧化还原法、外延生长法和化学气相沉积法等。其中化学气相沉积(Chemical vapor deposition,CVD)法,一般使用特殊的气体碳源,在合适的气氛环境于金属基底(Ni或Cu)上生长,通过控制温度梯度,气体流速等条件,以获得具有高品质的石墨烯。
目前在目标材料表面实现石墨烯功能化主要包含石墨烯转移法和CVD直接生长法。由于CVD生长石墨烯通常使用单晶Cu、Ni或两者的合金基底,合成的石墨烯再转移至目标材料,在转移过程中容易引起石墨烯的缺陷和污染物,且石墨烯和标的物之间的界面接触不可控;另外,CVD法受炉体限制无法得到更大尺寸石墨烯,同时存在高温生长时间长、能耗高的缺点。
玻璃基底生长石墨烯是当今的石墨烯生长领域研究的热点之一。玻璃作为一种透明的非晶氧化物,制备成本低,现已广泛应用于日常生活中,并具有与石墨烯相同的透明的特点,并在导电性、导热性以及液体的浸润性方面互补。因此将二者结合在一起形成石墨烯玻璃,即可以保持二者的透明性,又拥有优良的导电、导热性及高疏水性,有望成为代替普通玻璃的新材料。要想实现将石墨烯玻璃完全替代普通玻璃,首先需解决其大规模的制作问题,现在实验室制备石墨烯玻璃主要由两种方法,第一种为转移法,使用石墨烯浆料在玻璃表面使用液相涂膜的方式制备,或使用CVD法在金属基底上制备后转移到玻璃表面,另一种是使用CVD法直接在玻 璃表面生长石墨烯。如前所述,第一种转移方法石墨烯尺寸小,缺陷多,转移过程中也会带来污染等问题,因此制备出的石墨烯玻璃性能差。第二种CVD方法制备出的石墨烯玻璃性能好,但是管式炉内径的大小限制了石墨烯玻璃的尺寸,无法制备更大尺寸的石墨烯玻璃。
另外,CVD直接生长法也不适合用于在无法长时间耐受高温的材料(例如高分子材料、纳米针尖尖端等)表面生长石墨烯。石墨烯柔性高分子材料具有特殊的电学和机械性能,在柔性显示屏和智能传感器等领域具有独到的应用前景。然而由于基底材料不能长时间耐受高温,柔性材料的石墨烯功能化目前主要通过物理涂布法制备。Dua和Ruoff等人在聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯(PET)薄膜上用化学法还原氧化石墨烯薄片(rGO)制成的rGO溶液通过喷墨打印制成检测H 2等气氛传感器。但是rGO溶液喷涂石墨烯片内缺陷较多,片间接触电阻较大,限制在传感器中的应用。Bae等人通过用CVD法在金属基底上生成的高质量石墨烯湿法转移至PET制成G/PEF显示屏,但是转移过程中通常会引起石墨烯的破损以及带来一些不可避免的有机杂质。另一方面,石墨烯功能化纳米针尖具有增强的电学和机械性能,在扫描探针成像、纳米电学测量和传感器等领域有突出的应用前景。目前,关于石墨烯修饰纳米针尖的研究可分为石墨烯转移法和直接CVD生长法。Duan等人报道了通过在铜箔上生长石墨烯并将其转移到商用原子力显微镜(AFM)探针尖端来制造石墨烯功能化AFM尖端,表现出了更高的导电率和使用寿命;但石墨烯的转移过程不可控,转移后的石墨烯与AFM探针本体间的作用力较小附着不紧密。Martin-Olmos等人采用半导体加工工艺在硅片表面形成金字塔形凹槽阵列并在其表面镀上一层铜后,用CVD法在铜涂层上(包括金字塔形凹槽内)生长出连续的石墨烯层;并进一步将基体材料SU-8旋涂在石墨烯层上以获得石墨烯功能化的AFM探针。但是在CVD生长过程中,金字塔形凹槽的尖端由于长时间高温发生钝化,导致最终的AFM探针尖端的尺寸大于1um,得到的AFM探针空间分辨率下降。总而言之,物理吸附的方法不可控且无法保证针尖表面与石墨烯层的良好接触,而CVD法由于生长所需要的长时间高温环境,导致探针尖端纳米尺寸受损。
综上所述,目前在材料表面实现石墨烯功能化的方法主要包括转移法和CVD直接生长法。转移法在转移过程中容易引起石墨烯的缺陷和污染 物,且石墨烯和目标基底之间的界面接触不可控;而CVD直接生长法对基底耐温性能要求高、时间长能耗高、产品尺寸受限制,阻碍了石墨烯功能化产品的大量生产和应用拓展。除去上述方法,Xiong等人报道了一种利用微纳米激光直写设备在玻璃或Si片等绝缘基底材料表面生成石墨烯图案的方法。在该方法中,激光光斑聚焦于基底表面以加热基底表面的照射区域达到石墨烯的生长温度和条件,避免了基底表面的长时间高温的同时实现了石墨烯的快速生长。然而,除去复杂的设备所带来的限制外,该方法所使用的激光光斑尺寸很小(约800纳米),只能实现小范围内(微米级别)的石墨烯生长,而无法实现宏观基底表面的大面积石墨烯的快速生长。针对以上问题,本发明提供了一类新型的超快石墨烯生长方法,采用脉冲电流、感应电流或汇聚微波能等作用于碳化后的基底材料,通过基底表面的电流原位产生大量的热,实现材料的瞬间淬火进而在材料表面生成大范围的连续单层或多层石墨烯(如图1)。本发明提供的超快生长方法可不受真空管式炉的尺寸限制,实现大尺寸基底材料上的石墨烯生长,同时具有材料(种类、尺寸)和环境(真空、惰性气氛或大气)适应范围广、快速、能耗低等特点。

在本发明的一个优选实施方案中,利用脉冲电流淬火的优选方案如下:
将表面有碳层的金属基底或表面有金属/碳复合层的非金属基底置于真空腔体内,抽真空或将腔体置换为惰性气氛环境,在基底两端施加一个电压脉冲(如图2a),让脉冲电流通过基底或基底表面的导电金属/碳复合层,基底迅速达到红热状态后自然冷却。上述脉冲电流脉宽范围为 1us~10s,电流大小范围为1~50A。该电流通过导电基底或表面镀层产生大量焦耳热而使基底或其表面迅速达到红热状态。所通电流的大小和持续时间与所述基底材料的电阻率和尺寸规格密切相关。当所用金属材质的电阻率较大,厚度、宽度较小而长度较大时,所通电流即相应较小,持续时间相应较短;当所用金属材质电阻率较小,厚度、宽度较大而长度较小时,所通电流即相应较大,持续时间相应较长。
在本发明的另一个优选实施方案中,所述淬火利用感应电流淬火来完成,所述感应电流淬火法分为整体感应加热和移动感应加热法。
在本发明的又一个优选实施方案中,若采用整体感应法,将表面有碳层的金属基底或表面有金属/碳复合层的非金属基底放入在石英管中;石英管置于电磁感应电源设备(东达DDCGP-06-III)的铜感应线圈内,石英管抽真空或置换为惰性气氛环境(如图3所示)。设置电磁感应电源输出功率与加热时间,功率范围为0.1kW-6kW,加热时间设置为0.1-10s,启动电磁感应电源,在金属基底表层或非金属基底的表面导电层内激发出涡流产生自加热现象,样品迅速被加热至红热状态,加热完成后样品自然冷却。电磁感应电源输出功率和加热时间与电源的工作频率、基底材质及尺寸有关。
在本发明的又一个优选实施方案中,若采用移动感应法,将表面有碳层的金属基底夹在两片洁净平整的玻璃中间,玻璃四角夹紧;或将两片大小一致的非金属基底夹住一块大小相当厚度为1mm的石墨片形成三明治结构,基底四角夹紧。将上述样品放在二维电动平移台样品座上,电磁感应铜圈位于样品上方5~10mm处(如图4所示),整体装置位于大气中。使用电动平移台控制软件,设置电动平移台的运行路径及运行速率,速率范围为10-40mm/s,、电磁感应电源的输出功率范围为0.5-6kW。启动电磁感应电源后,开启电动平移台带动样品沿设定路径移动,在优化条件下,电磁感应铜圈下方的样品区域被迅速加热至红热状态;当该样品区域移出铜圈感应范围后即可迅速冷却。
在本发明的又一个优选实施方案中,利用汇聚微波能淬火的优选方案如下:
该方案中所使用的装置示意图如图5所示,包含高压电源、磁控管(三星OM74P,1000W,2450MHz)、环行器、负载及不锈钢制真空波导腔(BJ22 型)组成。磁控管产生的微波通过环行器进入波导腔后稳定为驻波状态,在波导腔宽面中心线上1/4波长处出现电场强度最大点,形成微波能量热点。在电场强度最大点处***金属引丝,将汇聚的微波能量馈入引丝。将表面有碳层或金属/碳复合层的基底固定在金属引丝上。波导腔抽真空或置换为惰性气氛环境,用程控高压脉冲电源控制磁控管产生波数来精准控制微波输出时间,在本发明的条件下,汇聚微波能量损耗精准地发生在金属样品或其表面镀层处,微波能转化为大量热能,使样品表面产生瞬时高温达到红热状态,随后自然冷却。上述单次淬火的升温时间范围为0.001~10秒。所述引丝为材质为金属,如Ni、W、Fe、不锈钢丝等,直径为0.2-5mm。其中,引丝的不同位置可焊接夹片或其他适配样品形状的固定器以固定样品。微波输出时间的长短与引丝尺寸、基底材质和尺寸等相关。
本发明所提供的超快石墨烯生长方法的有益效果如下。
在本发明所述方法和条件下,脉冲电流、电磁感应所激发的涡流和汇聚微波能量直接作用于金属基底或基底表面的镀层,原位产生大量的热将基底表面以一个很大的升温速率(可大于1000℃/s)迅速加热至高温(500~2000℃),随后快速自然冷却,整个单次淬火过程时间中的升温时间为1us~10s。在此超快淬火过程中,基底表面的碳层在高温条件下渗入金属基底或基底表面的金属镀层,随后基底迅速降温,渗入的碳在基底表面析出形成石墨烯。在已报道的石墨烯制备方法中,通常使用电炉或感应电流加热样品台(如钨舟等)再将热能传导给样品实现加热样品的目的,样品的升温和降温过程较长(Piner R,Li H,Kong X,et al.ACS Nano,2013,7(9):7495)。在微波辅助CVD方法中,微波在CVD管式炉上游的多模腔内通过不断反射形成均匀的微波场以裂解碳源前驱体,与石墨烯的生长基底没有直接作用,基底仍是使用电炉加热再通过热传导的方式让基底上升并维持在一个适宜石墨烯生长的高温条件(Li X.S.,Cai W.,An J.et al.Science,2009,324(5932):1312)。
本发明所提出的超快石墨烯方法是利用脉冲电流、电磁感应所激发的涡流和微波交变电磁场直接加热基底,在极短的时间内完成了基底表面的石墨烯生长。本发明的方法保证了在基底表面生成大面积石墨烯的同时避免了高温对基底造成熔融和氧化等损伤,拓展了石墨烯功能化基底材料的 种类,且基底尺寸不受管式炉的尺寸限制,可用于大尺寸基底材料的快速石墨烯功能化;同时可有效加快生产速度,降低能耗和成本。
