The invention provides a preparation method of a
graphene material and the application of the
graphene material in preparation of a
lithium ion battery. According to the preparation method, simple, convenient and easy-to-obtain
graphite powder is used as a
raw material, and the
graphite powder is oxidized by adopting a
plasma oxidation-chemical oxidation combined technology to prepare a
graphene oxide precursor; then graphene
oxide is prepared from the graphene
oxide precursor through a
plasma oxidation technology; and finally, the graphene material is prepared by adopting a
plasma reduction technology. Compared with a single chemical
oxidation process, the preparation method disclosed by the invention has the advantages that consumed time is shorter, large-scale production can be realized, functional groups can be added for modification in the preparation process, no explosion risk exists in the preparation process, and environmental
pollution is very small; the edge of the prepared graphene is oxidized to generate carbonyl groups, hydroxyl groups and other hydrophilic groups, so the
solubility of the graphene in an
aqueous solution is increased; compared with the original
graphite oxide material, the prepared graphene material has the advantages that interlayer spacing is obviously increased, and stripping effect is obvious; and when the graphene material is used for preparing a
lithium ion battery negative
electrode material, the specific capacity of the
lithium ion battery negative
electrode material in
actual use is close to a theoretical value during initial chargingand discharging.
