Embodiment 1

[0036] Add the natural graphite powder and 95% concentrated sulfuric acid into the container according to the weight ratio of 10:1, and use ultrasonic stirring method, after stirring for 20 minutes, filter out the excess acid. Add ethanol by 3% of graphite powder weight, and stir evenly. Transfer the material to a cryogenic container and allow the material to cool to -10°C. Then the low-temperature material is quickly sprayed into a high-pressure reactor filled with supercritical ethanol, and the temperature of the high-pressure reactor is maintained at 245° C. and the pressure is 6.5 MPa. After the material stays in the autoclave for 60 minutes, it is quickly sprayed into the normal pressure production tank. The material was filtered, separated, washed, dried and the solid product collected. The solid product was added to a fresh dimethylformamide solution again, dispersed by ultrasonic waves for 120 minutes, left to stand for 12 hours, and then the precipitate was removed ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for increasing the yield of graphene prepared by a supercritical fluid through pretreatment of natural graphite. The method comprises the steps as follows: natural graphite powder and acid are added into a container and stirred uniformly; an additive is added, and the mixture is cooled to obtain low-temperature graphite slurry; the low-temperature graphite slurry is sprayed to a high-pressure reaction kettle containing supercritical fluid media for supercritical treatment; and then a material after the supercritical treatment is rapidly sprayed into a normal-pressure production material tank and is filtered, separated and dried to obtain the graphene product. Compared with the prior art, the low-temperature natural graphite slurry pretreated by the acid is taken as feedstock; compared with the normal-temperature natural graphite serving as feedstock, the yield of graphene is increased by about 2-5 times through the supercritical fluid stripping process; and not only is the yield of graphene increased, but also the electrical property and the thermal property of graphene are further maintained.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of nanometer material preparation, and in particular relates to a method for improving the yield of graphene prepared by supercritical fluid through pretreatment of natural graphite. Background technique [0002] Due to the unique properties of graphene, it has broad application prospects in many fields. In order to realize the commercial application of graphene, the most critical issue is to obtain a large amount of high-quality graphene. At present, there are many methods how to prepare graphene, such as mechanical exfoliation method, chemical reduction method and so on. The graphene obtained by the mechanical exfoliation method has excellent electrical properties, but the yield is very low; the redox method can realize large-scale production of graphene, however, the electrical properties of the obtained graphene are not ideal. Supercritical fluid has excellent surface wetting ability, low surface tensi...
