The invention discloses a method for preparing few-layer
graphene through supercritical CO2 stripping, and belongs to the technical field of
graphene preparation. The preparation method comprises the following steps: mechanically crushing natural crystalline
flake graphite, and carrying out
airflow classification purification to obtain
graphite powder with the particle size of 50-100 mu m; the method comprises the following steps: mixing
graphite powder and a bio-based anionic surfactant, adding the mixture into a supercritical reaction kettle, and introducing CO2 to replace air; carrying out constant-temperature and constant-pressure pretreatment under the conditions that the temperature of the reaction kettle is 40-60 DEG C and the pressure is 2-4MPa, increasing the pressure to 15-20MPa, and carrying out stirring reaction for 2-3h; and after the reaction is finished, slowly releasing the pressure to normal pressure, carrying out centrifugal classification on the product, washing to be neutral, and carrying out vacuum
freeze drying to obtain the few-layer
graphene. The problems that an existing supercritical CO2 stripping process is poor in
environmental protection property, products are prone to agglomeration and low in efficiency are effectively solved, the number of
layers of the products is 1-5, the proportion of 1-3
layers is larger than or equal to 75%, the sheet
diameter is 0.8-2.0 micrometers, and the method has the advantages of being high in
crystallinity and low in defect density; in addition, according to the method, the CO2 recycling rate is larger than or equal to 95%, the stripping efficiency reaches 85% or above, cost is low, and the method is suitable for large-scale industrial production.
