The invention aims to provide a digestion method of a graphene material.
The above purpose of the invention is realized by the following technical scheme:
a digestion method of a graphene material comprises the following specific digestion steps:
(1) oxidation of graphene:
oxidizing graphene to form graphene oxide;
(2) modification treatment of graphene oxide:
introducing amino groups into the graphene oxide conjugated region;
(3) digestion treatment:
mixing the modified graphene oxide and hydrofluoric acid, pressurizing to 0.20-0.32MPa at the temperature of 170-200 ℃, maintaining the pressure for 20-60min, then relieving the pressure to normal pressure, reacting for 10-60min at normal pressure, and performing pressurization and pressure relief circulation for 3-5 times, and discharging.
According to the technical scheme, firstly, graphene is oxidized, amino is introduced into a hydrophobic conjugate zone of the oxidized graphene, then, during digestion, hydrogen ions of hydrofluoric acid can protonate the amino in the conjugate zone, the process occurs, the original hydrophobic conjugate zone is changed into hydrophilic property, the hydrofluoric acid is easier to enter, meanwhile, due to the fact that the hydrogen ions have the same positive charge, due to the principle that the two adjacent graphene oxide lamellar structures are detached from each other in the same polarity, the interlayer distance is effectively enlarged, more hydrofluoric acid is easier to enter the inner structure of the graphene oxide, and stripping and digestion of the graphene oxide are accelerated.
In addition, according to the technical scheme, in the digestion process, pressurization treatment is performed firstly, so that hydrofluoric acid permeates into the graphene oxide layers, then pressure relief treatment is performed, the hydrofluoric acid between the layers is gasified quickly, the graphene oxide lamellar structure is stripped quickly by pressure generated by gasification, and in the subsequent pressurization and pressure relief circulation process, the hydrofluoric acid permeates quickly, so that the graphene oxide inside is further digested, and the reaction process and the reaction effect are accelerated.
Further, the graphene is oxidized by: adding graphene into concentrated sulfuric acid, adding sodium nitrate and potassium permanganate, stirring and reacting at the temperature of 30-40 ℃, filtering, washing and drying to obtain the graphene oxide.
According to the technical scheme, the concentrated sulfuric acid is adopted to oxidize the graphene, so that an epoxy group required by subsequent reaction can be formed in a conjugated region in a graphene molecular structure, and carbon-containing impurities in the graphene material can be removed by carbonization.
Further, the modification treatment of the graphene oxide is as follows: mixing graphene oxide and a sodium azide solution for reaction, filtering, washing and drying to obtain pretreated graphene oxide, dispersing the pretreated graphene oxide in tetrahydrofuran, adding lithium aluminum hydride, performing reduction reaction, filtering and drying to obtain amino-introduced graphene oxide.
Further, the pressure relief to normal pressure is as follows: and (5) releasing the pressure to the normal pressure within 10-30 s.
Above-mentioned technical scheme further changes the pressure release rate among the pressure release process for in the short time, pressure reduces fast, and from this, the liquid between the graphite alkene layer can take place fast gasification, thereby arouses the disintegration and the peeling off of graphite alkene lamellar structure, promotes the efficiency and the effect of clearing up.
Further, the digestion processing further includes: adding an emulsifier with the mass of 1-3% of the hydrofluoric acid into the hydrofluoric acid.
Further, the emulsifier is any one of sodium lignosulfonate, sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate, emulsifier OP-10 and span-80.
Above-mentioned technical scheme further introduces the emulsifier, so, at pressurization and pressure release in-process that relapse, utilize the bubbling effect that pressure variation produced, can form a large amount of foams in the system, the production of foam can be so that the monolithic layer oxidation graphite alkene after peeling off is fixed by the liquid film adsorption of foam, avoids taking place the reunion again to make subsequent reaction of clearing up go on under the foam environment of emulsification, so, can promote the area of contact of hydrogen fluoride and oxidation graphite alkene, promote and clear up efficiency.
Further, after the modification treatment of the graphene oxide and before the digestion treatment, the modified graphene oxide is dispersed in water and spray-granulated.
Further, the particle size distribution of the spray-granulated particles is 10 to 50 μm.
According to the technical scheme, spray granulation is utilized, and the particle size of granulation is controlled, so that the surface energy of graphene oxide can be changed by utilizing the spray granulation, and the graphene oxide can be rapidly dispersed in a digested solution system more easily; and, after spray granulation, the even lamellar structure of graphite oxide can obtain certain degree destruction, changes into the structure that the edge is curled into, so, at the edge, hydrofluoric acid can be more easily to graphite oxide's interlaminar diffusion infiltration for the speed of dispelling.
