Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of carbon materials, and in particular relates to a method for preparing a graphene oxide material using a highly crystalline nanocellulose thin layer with a highly curled and wrinkled structure as a precursor. Background Art
[0002] Graphene (G) is a single layer of sp 2 The two-dimensional honeycomb material composed of hybrid carbon atoms has been widely used in many fields such as military industry and electronic appliances due to its high strength, high thermal conductivity and high electrical conductivity. Its preparation process is usually to first oxidize the stacked graphite layers to make them hydrophilic, and then peel off the single sheets under the action of an ultrasonic field to obtain an aqueous solution of graphene oxide (GO). At present, the common GO production methods are the Brodie method, the Standenmaier method and the Hummers method. Among them, the Brodie method and the Standenmaier method will use potassium hypochlorite and nitric acid in the preparation process, which is not only accompanied by the risk of explosion, but also produces chlorine, NO x , ClO2 and other toxic and harmful substances. Currently, the improved Hummers method is commonly used in the production of GO. However, this method requires a large amount of highly corrosive substances such as concentrated sulfuric acid and perchlorate, and its reaction temperature is high (about 100°C) and the reaction time is long (about 80 hours). In addition, the GO products obtained using the improved Hummers method still have many defects. Therefore, in order to improve this situation, it is necessary to explore a more efficient and rapid method for preparing graphene oxide.
[0003] Biomass, with its widespread availability and renewable nature, aligns with national and societal goals for sustainable development. Furthermore, as an important carbon source, it has garnered widespread international attention. For example, biomass-based activated carbons prepared from biomass feedstocks such as bamboo, cotton, peanut shells, rapeseed meal, and soybean straw are used to adsorb harmful gases and heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. Despite these recent achievements, current research using biomass as a feedstock has largely focused on the preparation of amorphous carbon. However, relatively little research has focused on the direct conversion of biomass into graphitized carbon materials, particularly the further preparation of graphene oxide. This is primarily because the carbonized product of biomass is non-graphitizable carbon, making it difficult to directly form a graphitized structure even at extremely high temperatures. The carbonization process of conventional feedstocks such as asphalt and petroleum coke also faces this challenge. Researchers have therefore attempted to utilize catalytic graphitization to promote the pyrolysis and carbonization of biomass feedstocks, hoping to achieve the efficient conversion of some non-graphitizable carbons. However, this method is not only complex in preparation but also requires the addition of metal catalysts, which is not environmentally friendly. In addition, for materials that cannot exist stably at high temperatures, such as transition metal sulfides, it is even more difficult to synthesize the required graphitized carbon-based composite materials in one step, not to mention further preparing graphene oxide on this basis. Theoretically, although cellulose carbonization can be used to synthesize graphene oxide through complex chemical reactions and physical processes, this path is neither direct nor simple. First, the amorphous carbon obtained by carbonization needs to be converted into an ordered graphite structure. This process is both energy-intensive and technically difficult. Secondly, even if graphite is successfully obtained, it needs to be further converted into graphene oxide through chemical exfoliation, which undoubtedly increases the cost and reduces the efficiency. Therefore, exploring an efficient, low-cost and environmentally friendly preparation path from biomass directly to graphene oxide is still a major challenge in the current scientific research field. Summary of the Invention

[0021] The inventive concept of the present invention is:
[0022] In existing methods, cellulose is usually carbonized at high temperature to convert it into a graphite structure, and then converted into graphene oxide through a chemical exfoliation method. This process not only consumes a lot of energy, but also has high technical difficulty, making it difficult to obtain a uniform graphene oxide material with a small number of atomic layers. Therefore, the present invention, based on the hydrolysis of cellulose nanocrystals, first dissolves the cellulose by destroying the hydrogen bonds between the cellulose molecular chains, and then uses a poor solvent for dialysis to slowly and orderly rearrange the cellulose molecular chains, obtaining a highly crystalline nanocellulose layer. On this basis, a graphene oxide material with a highly crystalline nanocellulose layer having a highly curled and wrinkled structure as a precursor is prepared through low-temperature pyrolysis and carbonization.
[0023] The advantages and beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0024] The high-crystalline nanocellulose prepared by the present invention is a material preparation method from the bottom up. The method first dissolves the cellulose molecules by destroying the hydrogen bonds between the cellulose molecular chains, and then uses dialysis to force the molecular chains to rearrange in order, thereby obtaining a high-crystalline nanocellulose thin layer with a highly curled and wrinkled structure. The high-crystalline nanocellulose material is then subjected to pyrolysis and carbonization. Since the high-crystalline nanocellulose structure is composed of highly ordered cellulose molecular chain bundles, the ordered segments are connected by the disordered arrangement of the chain bundles, and the structural characteristics of graphene oxide can be directly obtained after pyrolysis and carbonization. This method not only has important guiding significance for industrial production and product development, but also provides a class of green, environmentally friendly and low-cost graphene oxide materials for many fields such as catalysis, electrochemistry, energy and military industry, and wave absorption. More importantly, it provides the possibility of providing a preparation method for preparing graphene oxide-based composite materials at low temperatures. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
