Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of material preparation, and particularly relates to a graphene separation membrane and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Production quality control and safety management are related to people's life and property safety. The manufacturing and processing of electronic components, semiconductor chips, biological and pharmaceutical products, fine chemicals, and the purity detection and monitoring of drinking water and process water for future space exploration manned spacecraft and space stations all require accurate measurement and strict control of organic pollutant content. Taking drug production as an example, organic pollutant detection in the cleaning verification process is critical, which can effectively prevent safety hazards caused by pollution and cross contamination and ensure the safety and effectiveness of products. Compared with traditional organic pollutant detection methods, TOC (total organic carbon) detection method is a non-specific detection method, which has more advantages in analyzing the organic composition of samples and can determine all organic matters. It is simple, fast and sensitive to operate. Therefore, TOC detection technology is concerned in many high-end application fields.
[0003] Compared with the existing combustion method and wet oxidation method for TOC detection in the market, the thin film conductivity method has the advantages of small sample requirement, high detection precision, fast detection speed, no need for carrier gas, stable performance, high reliability, few interference factors and minimum interference degree, low maintenance requirement, and is suitable for TOC analysis and detection in various application scenarios, especially in cleaning verification and electronic grade water detection. At present, the TOC analysis equipment based on the thin film conductivity method depends on foreign imports, the main reason is that the preparation technology of the core component separation membrane in the equipment is monopolized and blocked by foreign countries. At present, the domestic polymer membranes developed for the application of thin film conductivity TOC analyzer cannot meet the performance requirements, and there are problems such as poor repeatability, poor linear correlation, poor long-term stability, poor mechanical properties, and great influence of temperature in the application of instruments, which seriously limits the application of domestic TOC analyzers in high-tech fields.
[0004] Graphene film material has atomic level ultra-thin thickness, and can introduce uniform high density nanopores, and can realize high selectivity and high permeability, and has stable physical and chemical properties, and is considered as a preferred material for preparing separation membranes. Using the advantages of graphene material, CVD (chemical vapor deposition) graphene film material is used for preparing separation membranes of TOC analyzers to solve the technical problems of existing separation membranes of TOC analyzers, which is a new method to break through the bottleneck of the existing technology, and there are few researches and reports. However, high-quality perfect large-area single-layer graphene film is difficult to prepare, is easy to break, and has poor practicability, and at present, large-size multi-layer continuous CVD graphene film cannot be prepared in a practical area size. Therefore, a multi-layer graphene separation membrane capable of exerting the advantages of graphene film and forming a practical area size is needed to be developed, so as to adapt to the mass-produced high-performance separation membrane products and preparation process of the thin film conductance method TOC analysis equipment, solve the performance problems and industrial development problems of the TOC analyzer caused by the separation membrane, and break through and surpass the foreign market monopoly and technical blockade.

[0053] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0054] The graphene separation membrane of the present application comprises a support layer and a separation layer, and the separation layer is a double-layer graphene film with nanopores. The support layer plays a supporting and protective role for the separation layer, and the main function of the separation layer is to realize the gas-liquid separation function of the membrane.
[0055] In optional embodiments, the surface pore size of the support layer ranges from 0.1 to 5 μm, the through-hole pore size ranges from 0.1 to 1 μm, the porosity is more than 70% to 90%, and the pore density of the separation layer is 1×10 11 -1×10 12 cm -1 When the surface pore size, through-hole pore size, porosity of the support layer, and the pore density of the separation layer are within the above ranges, the permeability and membrane flux of the separation membrane can be ensured. Specifically, the surface pore size of the support layer can be, but is not limited to, 0.1 μm, 0.5 μm, 1 μm, 1.5 μm, 2 μm, 2.5 μm, 3 μm, 3.5 μm, 4 μm, 4.5 μm, 5 μm, etc.; the through-hole pore size can be, but is not limited to, 0.1 μm, 0.2 μm, 0.3 μm, 0.4 μm, 0.5 μm, 0.6 μm, 0.7 μm, 0.8 μm, 0.9 μm, 1 μm, etc.; the porosity can be, but is not limited to, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, etc.; and the pore density of the separation layer can be 1×10 11 cm -1 , 1×10 12 cm -1 , etc.
[0056] In optional embodiments, the thickness of the graphene separation membrane is 15 μm to 150 μm. If the thickness of the separation membrane is too thin, the mechanical performance is poor, the film formation is uneven, leading to poor membrane performance and limited application; if the thickness is too thick, the mass transfer resistance during film formation is too high, affecting the permeability of the membrane, and a too thick support layer will make it difficult to combine the interface between the separation layer and the support layer during the preparation of the membrane. The thickness of the separation membrane can be any value within the above range, such as, but not limited to, 15 μm, 20 μm, 30 μm, 40 μm, 50 μm, 60 μm, 70 μm, 80 μm, 90 μm, 100 μm, 110 μm, 120 μm, 130 μm, 140 μm, 150 μm, etc.
[0057] For example, the graphene separation membrane of the present application can be used for the separation of gas mixtures, such as air, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, methane, etc. Figure 1As shown, the preparation method of the graphene separation membrane can include: S1, forming a support layer on a single-layer graphene surface grown on a substrate; S2, laminating an auxiliary transfer medium on the support layer to obtain an auxiliary transfer medium / support layer / single-layer graphene / substrate composite layer, then removing the substrate and releasing the auxiliary transfer medium to obtain a support layer / single-layer graphene composite layer; S3, laminating the support layer / single-layer graphene composite layer to a single-layer graphene surface grown on a substrate to form a support layer / two-layer graphene / substrate composite layer, then laminating an auxiliary transfer medium on the support layer of the support layer / two-layer graphene / substrate composite layer, and then removing the substrate and releasing the auxiliary transfer medium to obtain a support layer / two-layer graphene composite membrane; and S4, forming nanopores on the two-layer graphene by making holes in the support layer / two-layer graphene composite membrane. In this patent, S1, S2, S3 and S4 are only used to distinguish different steps, and the steps are not limited to occur continuously. Auxiliary steps such as but not limited to cleaning, drying and the like can be performed between the steps.
[0058] In the S1 step, the polymer can be dissolved in an organic solvent to form a casting solution, and the casting solution can be used to form the support layer. The content of the polymer is 10wt%-30wt% and the content of the organic solvent is 70wt%-90wt% based on the total weight of the casting solution. If the content of the polymer in the casting solution is less than 10wt%, the viscosity of the casting solution is too low, the film formation is discontinuous, and the film formation selectivity and mechanical properties are poor. If the content of the polymer is more than 30wt%, it is difficult to be completely dissolved in the actual operation process, the viscosity is too high, the film formation is uneven, and the film formation is easy to fall off from the graphene layer and is difficult to be combined with the graphene layer.
[0059] The polymer can be selected from one or more of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polyether sulfone resin (PES), polystyrene (PS), polyimide (PI), polyacrylonitrile (PAN), polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), polysulfone (PSF), cellulose acetate (CA), polycarbonate (PC), polyvinyl acetate (PVAC), polyether ether ketone (PEEK), polyethyleneimine (PEI), and polyphenylene oxide (PPO). The organic solvent can be selected from one or more of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc), N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), tetrahydrofuran (THF), toluene (TL), acetone (AC), cyclohexane (CYH), ethanol (EA), acetic acid (HAc), and ethyl acetate (EAC).
[0060] The casting solution is coated on the surface of the single-layer graphene after degassing to form a support layer. The degassing of the casting solution can be static or using a vacuum degassing device, and the degassed casting solution is poured onto the surface of the single-layer graphene grown on the substrate to allow the casting solution to fully contact the graphene. The casting solution on the graphene surface supported on the substrate is coated to a certain thickness, and then the casting solution is solidified to form a support layer. The solidification can be carried out in a constant temperature and humidity atmosphere or immersed in a coagulation bath, or first gel in a constant temperature and humidity atmosphere and then solidified in a coagulation bath to obtain a support layer structure. The thickness of the support layer is controlled to be 15-150 μm, preferably 25-75 μm. The gel process temperature is controlled at 25-95℃, preferably 40-70℃; the gel process humidity is controlled at 25-95%, preferably 40-70%; the gel time is controlled at 0.5-90 min, preferably 2-60 min; the coagulation bath temperature is controlled at 15-90℃, preferably 25-45℃; the coagulation bath time is controlled at 20 min-480 min, preferably 120-240 min.
[0061] After the preparation of the support layer, the "support layer / single-layer graphene / substrate" composite layer is dried, and then the auxiliary transfer medium is attached to the support layer side in the S2 step. Then the substrate of the "auxiliary transfer medium / support layer / single-layer graphene / substrate" composite layer is removed. The auxiliary transfer medium can be any suitable component, such as but not limited to adhesive tape and the like. The substrate can be removed by etching, and copper foil is used as the substrate to illustrate the removal process of the substrate, but those skilled in the art can understand that the removal of the substrate is not limited to etching, but can be any suitable method. The "auxiliary transfer medium / support layer / single-layer graphene / copper foil" composite layer can be first treated with etching solution, the copper foil side is close to the solution, and is floated on the surface of the solution for 10-30 min, and then is thoroughly washed with deionized water after pretreatment; finally, the copper foil in the "medium / support layer / single-layer graphene / copper foil" composite layer after back etching is completely etched with etching solution, and is thoroughly washed with deionized water after etching to obtain the "auxiliary transfer medium / support layer / single-layer graphene" composite layer. The etchant is selected from one or more of sodium persulfate, ammonium persulfate, ferric chloride, and iron sulfate, and the concentration is controlled at 0.1-15 wt%, preferably 1-10 wt%.
[0062] After the release of the auxiliary transfer medium, the "auxiliary transfer medium / support layer / single-layer graphene" composite layer is infiltrated with the infiltration solution, and the medium is released after complete infiltration to obtain the "support layer / single-layer graphene" composite layer. The infiltration solution can be selected from one or more of ethanol, methanol, and isopropanol. Of course, the release method of the auxiliary transfer medium is not limited to the above, but can be any suitable release method
[0063] In S3, the "support layer / single layer graphene" composite layer is attached to the surface of the single layer graphene grown on the substrate to form a "support layer / double layer graphene / substrate" composite layer. The specific method can be to heat press the "support layer / double layer graphene / substrate" composite layer between two pieces of hot press plate, the hot press temperature is 60-150℃, and the hot press time is 6-12h. The hot press process can make the first layer of graphene and the second layer of graphene attach perfectly. Compared with the lamination transfer process at room temperature and normal pressure, the lamination transfer by hot pressing utilizes the capillary force generated by the volatilization of volatile small molecules under high temperature and certain pressure, so that the combination between the two layers of graphene is more compact and complete.
[0064] Then, the "support layer / double layer graphene / substrate" composite layer after hot pressing is attached to the side of the support layer of the "support layer / double layer graphene / substrate" composite layer to form a "auxiliary transfer medium / support layer / double layer graphene / substrate" composite layer.
[0065] Then, the "auxiliary transfer medium / support layer / double layer graphene / substrate" composite layer is subjected to the substrate removal and release medium step to form a "support layer / double layer graphene" composite film. The method of removing the substrate and releasing the medium can be the same as that in S2.
[0066] Finally, in S4, the "support layer / double layer graphene" composite film is subjected to hole making. The hole making can be made by plasma etching. Specifically, the "support layer / double layer graphene" composite film is placed in a plasma device, an etching gas source is introduced, the pressure of the plasma device is adjusted to 0.1-250Pa, preferably 5-50Pa, the power is 1-100W, preferably 30-60W, the processing time is 1-300s, preferably 10-100s, and the selected etching gas source is one or more of argon or oxygen. After plasma treatment, the double layer graphene film can be introduced into sub-nanopores to complete the preparation of the nanopore double layer graphene separation film.
[0067] The method of the present application can prepare a double layer or multi-layer graphene separation film containing a large area (for example, 10cmx15cm), which is suitable for TOC analyzer. The separation film of the present application effectively solves the problems of poor repeatability, poor linear correlation and poor long-term stability in the application of thin film conductivity method TOC analyzer caused by the performance of the separation film. It lays a foundation for the industrial application of large area single layer CVD graphene film in the field of separation film, and has good development prospect and practical application value.
[0068] The present application will be further described by specific examples. However, these examples are only exemplary and do not constitute any limitation on the scope of protection of the present application. In the following examples and comparative examples, the reagents, materials and instruments used are commercially available unless otherwise specified.
[0069] Example 1
[0070] ①The PVDF with weight average molecular weight of 26.1W was dried at 105℃ to constant weight, and 16g of the dried PVDF was dissolved in 64g of DMAc solvent at 75℃ constant temperature oil bath to form a uniform casting solution.
[0071] ②The casting solution was deaerated for 12h, and then poured onto the surface of the 5cm×5cm single-layer CVD graphene film grown on a copper foil to allow the casting solution to fully contact with the graphene film for 12h.
[0072] ③The casting solution on the graphene surface of the copper foil was spin-coated to a certain thickness by using a spin coater (the spin coater parameters were set as low rotation speed 200r, time 10s, high rotation speed 2000r, time 60s), and the "casting solution / single-layer graphene / copper foil" structure coated with the casting solution was immersed in a 500ml room temperature deionized water coagulation bath for solidification for 2h. After solidification, it was taken out of the coagulation bath and dried for 0.5h to obtain a "PVDF / single-layer graphene / copper foil" composite layer, and the support layer preparation was completed.
[0073] ④The "PVDF / single-layer graphene / copper foil" composite layer was pressed on the side of the support layer (PVDF) with adhesive tape to assist the graphene transfer.
[0074] ⑤The obtained "adhesive tape / PVDF / single-layer graphene / copper foil" composite layer was subjected to copper foil etching treatment. First, the "adhesive tape / PVDF / single-layer graphene / copper foil" composite layer was subjected to back etching treatment with 10% sodium persulfate etching solution for 30min, a small amount of isopropyl alcohol was added to the etching solution, and then the sample was washed with deionized water after back etching treatment. Then, the copper foil part of the "adhesive tape / PVDF / single-layer graphene / copper foil" composite layer after washing was completely etched with 2% sodium persulfate etching solution, a small amount of isopropyl alcohol was added to the etching solution, and then the sample was thoroughly washed with deionized water after etching to obtain a "adhesive tape / PVDF / single-layer graphene" composite layer.
[0075] ⑥The auxiliary transfer adhesive tape was released, and the first layer of graphene film was transferred. Specifically, the "adhesive tape / PVDF / single-layer graphene" composite layer was immersed in anhydrous ethanol, and after complete immersion, the adhesive tape was released to obtain a "PVDF / single-layer graphene" composite layer.
[0076] ⑦The "PVDF / single-layer graphene" composite layer was taken out of the immersion liquid and quickly attached to the surface of a 5cm×5cm single-layer CVD graphene film (the same as the graphene material used before) grown on a copper foil, and the obtained "PVDF / double-layer graphene / copper foil" composite layer was clamped between two glass plates for hot pressing, with a hot pressing temperature of 110℃ and a hot pressing time of 10h.
[0077] ⑧ Press adhesive tape onto the support layer (PVDF) side of the hot-pressed “PVDF / double-layer graphene / copper foil” composite layer to assist in the transfer of the second layer of graphene.
[0078] ⑨ The obtained "tape / PVDF / bilayer graphene / copper foil" composite layer was subjected to copper foil etching. The method was as follows: the "tape / PVDF / bilayer graphene / copper foil" composite layer was first back-etched with 10% sodium persulfate etching solution for 30 minutes, with a small amount of isopropanol added to the etching solution. After back-etching, it was cleaned with deionized water. The copper foil portion of the cleaned "tape / PVDF / bilayer graphene / copper foil" composite layer was completely etched with 2% sodium persulfate etching solution, with a small amount of isopropanol added to the etching solution. After etching, it was thoroughly cleaned with deionized water to obtain the "tape / PVDF / bilayer graphene" composite layer.
[0079] ⑩ Release the auxiliary transfer tape to complete the transfer of the second graphene film. The specific operation process is to soak the "tape / PVDF / bilayer graphene" composite layer with anhydrous ethanol. After complete soaking, release the tape and let the resulting "PVDF / bilayer graphene" composite layer air dry naturally to complete the transfer of the bilayer graphene film and obtain the "PVDF / bilayer graphene" composite film.
[0080] The PVDF / bilayer graphene composite membrane was placed in a plasma device, Ar gas was introduced, the pressure of the plasma device was adjusted to 10 Pa, the power was 50 W, and the processing time was 40 s. After plasma treatment, the graphene separation membrane of the present invention was obtained.
[0081] Figures 2-4 The images show the cross-sectional and surface structure SEM images of the "PVDF / bilayer graphene" composite film obtained in step ⑩, which visually reflect the overall microstructure of the composite layer. The graphene layer is intact and without obvious defects, and the composite layer as a whole consists of a support layer and a graphene layer. Figure 2 As shown, the composite layer is 30 μm thick.

[0105] ② The casting solution was allowed to stand for 12 hours to remove bubbles. The degassed casting solution was then poured onto the surface of a 10cm×15cm monolayer CVD graphene film grown on copper foil, allowing the casting solution and the graphene film to be in full contact for 12 hours.
[0106] ③Using a coater, the casting solution on the surface of graphene supported on a copper foil is coated to a certain thickness (the doctor blade is controlled at a height of 100 pm), and the "casting solution / single layer graphene / copper foil" structure coated with the casting solution is placed in a constant temperature and humidity (humidity 65%, temperature 65°C) atmosphere for curing for 60 minutes to obtain a support layer composite layer.
[0107] ④The "PVDF / single layer graphene / copper foil" composite layer is subjected to copper foil etching treatment. The method is that the "PVDF / single layer graphene / copper foil" composite layer is first subjected to back etching treatment with 10% sodium persulfate etching solution for 30 min, a small amount of isopropyl alcohol is added to the etching solution, and after back etching treatment, the sample is washed with deionized water; the copper foil part of the washed "PVDF / single layer graphene / copper foil" composite layer is completely etched with 2% sodium persulfate etching solution, a small amount of isopropyl alcohol is added to the etching solution, and after etching, the sample is thoroughly washed with deionized water to obtain a "PVDF / single layer graphene" composite layer, and the preparation of a large-size support layer is completed.

As shown in Figure 20 , the thickness of the prepared composite layer is 42 pm, and there are continuous sponge pores with a size of 3-5 pm. As shown in Figure 21 , the pore size range of the support layer surface on the side of the composite layer without graphene is distributed in the range of 3-5 pm. As shown in Figure 22 , the pore size range of the support layer surface on the side of the graphene of the composite layer is distributed in the range of 1-3 pm.

[0110] Example 6
[0111] The "PVDF / single layer graphene" composite layer prepared in step ⑥ of Example 1 and the "PVDF / double layer graphene" composite membrane prepared in step ⑩ are subjected to plasma pore making. The specific operation process is that argon gas is first introduced, and then the pressure of the plasma equipment is adjusted to 201 Pa and the power is 20 W. The "PVDF / single layer graphene" composite layer sample is treated for 10 s, 30 s and 60 s, and the four "PVDF / double layer graphene" composite membrane samples are treated for 30 s, 60 s, 2 min and 4 min.
[0112] Figures 23-25 The SEM characterization results of the "PVDF / single layer graphene" composite layer without introducing nanopores are compared with Figure 4The SEM characterization results of the "PVDF / double-layer graphene" composite film of Example 1 can find that the graphene layer of the "PVDF / single-layer graphene" composite layer has obvious macroscopic defects, and the quality and integrity of the graphene layer of the "PVDF / double-layer graphene" composite film are higher.
[0113] Comparison Figure 26 and Figure 27 It can be found that after the same plasma intensity and the same etching time of plasma treatment, the Raman spectrum of the "PVDF / single-layer graphene" composite layer appears obvious defect peak (D peak), while the Raman spectrum of the "PVDF / double-layer graphene" composite film has no obvious change, and the Raman spectrum of the "PVDF / double-layer graphene" composite film still has no obvious change when the plasma treatment time is extended to 4 min under the same intensity, which indicates that the stability of the "PVDF / double-layer graphene" composite film is higher than that of the "PVDF / double-layer graphene" composite film.
[0114] The characterization results of Example 6 can prove that the performance and stability of the double-layer graphene separation film claimed in the application are better than those of the single-layer graphene separation film, and the double-layer graphene separation film is suitable for the structure and performance requirements of the TOC separation film.
[0115] Example 7
[0116] The "PVDF / double-layer graphene" composite film prepared in step ⑩ of Example 1 was subjected to plasma pore forming. The specific experimental process is that the above sample is subjected to Ar plasma treatment, and the "pressure-power-time" parameter combination of the plasma equipment is selected as "50W-10Pa-80s", "50W-10Pa-60s", "50W-10Pa-40s", "50W-10Pa-20s", "20W-120Pa-1min", "20W-150Pa-1min", "20W-150Pa-1min", "20W-180Pa-1min", "20W-201Pa-3min", "20W-201Pa-4min". The treated sample is subjected to Raman spectrum characterization, and the influence of plasma treatment on the film structure is analyzed by the peak shape change in the characterization results.
[0117] As Figure 28As shown, by comparing the Raman spectra of samples treated with different parameters, it can be found that the Raman spectra change obviously with the change of treatment parameters, the D peak (defect peak) appears from nothing to something, the D' peak appears, the 2D peak changes from strong to weak and even disappears, and the peak width gradually widens, indicating that the pore structure of the graphene layer changes from nothing to something, the pore size changes from small to large, the number changes from few to many, the graphene structure changes from intrinsic continuous film to porous film, and finally becomes amorphous carbon structure, losing the intrinsic properties. Through the above change process, according to the intensity ratio of D peak and G peak, the pore density of graphene layer can be calculated and optimized, and the high pore density data and the corresponding plasma treatment parameters are as follows Figure 29 As shown, the plasma treatment parameters and the preferred range of double-layer graphene are determined, and the pore density introduced by the separation membrane under the preferred parameters can reach 1.2 x 10 12 cm -1 .

[0126] ⑤Finally, deionized water after degassing was injected into both sides, and the magnetic stirring was performed for 3 min before discharging.
[0127] ⑥The KCl salt solution with a concentration of 0.5 mol / L was prepared (Note: The deionized water used for preparing the solution has been degassed).
[0128] ⑦The prepared KCl solution was injected into one side of the diffusion cell, and the same volume of deionized water was injected into the other side, and magnetic stirring was performed at the same time.
[0129] ⑧The conductivity electrode was used to test the conductivity change of the deionized water side to represent the salt resistance of the composite layer and the quality of the graphene transfer.
[0130] (2) TOC performance test
[0131] The application performance of the separation membrane in the TOC analyzer was tested by using the HTY-MC20 type total organic carbon analyzer produced by Zhejiang Tailin Biotechnology Co., Ltd. In order to ignore the experimental error caused by other parts of the equipment as much as possible, and better reflect the real situation of the influence of the membrane product on the performance of the instrument, all the analysis data are the original signal values detected by the conductivity sensor of the TOC analyzer.

[0135] Among them, X Ii represents the measured value of the inorganic carbon measurement of the instrument; is the average value of the measured value of the inorganic carbon measurement of the instrument; n is the number of measurements.
[0136] ② Linear correlation
[0137] Within the calibrated range of the instrument, the inorganic carbon standard solution with full scale concentration of 0%, 10%, 20%, 50%, 80%, and 100% was selected for testing. Each concentration was tested 6 times, and the arithmetic mean of the 6 measurement results was calculated, and the arithmetic mean of the measurement values of different concentrations of standard solution was linearly fitted.
[0138] ③ Long-term stability

The RSD was calculated using the 14 arithmetic means, and the calculation formula is shown in 1-1 and 1-2.
