The application discloses a
graphite-based three-dimensional heat-conducting structure with continuous Z-direction heat-conducting framework and a preparation method thereof. The structure comprises a plurality of
graphite structure units and a high-thermal-
conductivity interface layer, and the in-plane high-thermal-
conductivity direction of the
graphite structure units is perpendicular to the main plane of the structure, and the adjacent units are bonded and integrated through the high-thermal-
conductivity interface layer. The plurality of graphite structure units are arranged in a bricklaying staggered manner in the main plane, and the staggered amount is 25% to 75% of the width of the unit. The preparation method comprises the following steps: rotating the graphite material by 90 degrees after
processing into a strip to orient the in-plane high-thermal-conductivity direction to the Z direction,
coating the interface material, and then stacking in a bricklaying staggered manner, and bonding into a whole through
hot pressing or segmented
sintering. The application realizes efficient Z-direction heat conduction by directly utilizing the intrinsic in-plane
thermal conductivity of the graphite material, and the Z-direction
thermal conductivity can reach 500 to 800 W / m·K. The bricklaying staggered structure gives excellent mechanical
interlocking effect and
thermal reliability, and is suitable for the thermal management scene of high-power-density electronic devices.
