Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of modified graphene oxide, in particular to a polysiloxane modified single-layer graphene oxide and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Single-layer graphene oxide is an oxidation product of graphene, which has anisotropy, high specific surface area, good water solubility and easy chemical modification, thus attracting extensive attention. Due to the presence of polar groups such as carboxyl, hydroxyl and epoxy on the surface of single-layer graphene oxide, the single-layer graphene oxide has good water solubility and processability. However, it is difficult for the single-layer graphene oxide to be dissolved in non-polar organic solvents or uniformly dispersed in non-polar polymers, thus limiting the application of the single-layer graphene oxide. To solve this problem, a common method is to chemically modify the single-layer graphene oxide to graft non-polar chemical structures on the surface of the single-layer graphene oxide, thereby increasing the hydrophobicity of the single-layer graphene oxide. An organosilicon reagent is a common chemical modifier.

[0003] At present, most of the organosilicon modified graphene oxides use silane or silane coupling agents as the modification reagent, such as chlorosilane, alkoxy vinyl silane and amino silane, and the modification is completed by condensation reaction between the silicon hydroxyl obtained by hydrolysis of the silane and the hydroxyl in the graphene oxide. However, the silicon hydroxyl is prone to self-condensation, and the reactivity of the silicon hydroxyl with the hydroxyl in the graphene oxide is low, thus resulting in low modification efficiency, poor chemical selectivity and difficult control of the modified structure. Therefore, it is of great significance to provide a modified single-layer graphene oxide with high modification efficiency, good chemical selectivity, clear modification structure and excellent hydrophobicity.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] 10 mg of single-layer graphene oxide was ultrasonically mixed with 5 mL of N,N-dimethylacrylamide and 5 mL of toluene at 50 kHz for 5 min, then 100 mg of monohydrogen-terminated polydimethylsiloxane with a relative molecular mass of 1000 was added and ultrasonically mixed at 50 kHz for 5 min, and finally 3,5-difluorophenyl boron was added and ultrasonically mixed at 50 kHz for 5 min (the mass fraction of 3,5-difluorophenyl boron in the mixed solution was 0.5%), and then the mixture was reacted at a temperature of 25℃ and a speed of 2000 r / min for 1 h. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was subjected to vacuum distillation at 80℃ for 1.1 h, and then centrifuged at 6500 r / min for 9 min, to obtain polysiloxane-modified single-layer graphene oxide.

[0040] In this comparative example, other conditions were kept constant. The single-end hydrogen-containing polydimethylsiloxane was replaced with methyltrimethoxysilane, the catalyst was replaced with tris(pentafluorophenylborone)acetic acid, the amount of acetic acid added was modified to 0.5 mL, the reaction temperature was modified to 70 °C, and the reaction time was modified to 5 h, thus obtaining silane-modified monolayer graphene oxide.

[0041] Polysiloxane-modified monolayer graphene oxide and silane-modified monolayer graphene oxide were sequentially dried and pressed into tablets, and their contact angles were measured to obtain a contact angle diagram of the polysiloxane-modified monolayer graphene oxide, as shown below. Figure 1 The contact angle diagram of silane-modified monolayer graphene oxide is shown below. Figure 2 As shown. From Figure 1 and Figure 2 As can be seen, the contact angle of polysiloxane-modified monolayer graphene oxide is 120.3°, while that of silane-modified monolayer graphene oxide is 87°. The hydrophobicity of polysiloxane-modified monolayer graphene oxide is significantly better than that of silane-modified monolayer graphene oxide.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] 50 mg of monolayer graphene oxide was sonicated with 6.5 mL of N,N-dimethylacrylamide and 3.5 mL of toluene at 40 kHz for 17 min. Then, 50 mg of single-ended hydrogen-containing polydimethylsiloxane with a relative molecular mass of 500 was added, and the mixture was sonicated at 40 kHz for 17 min. Finally, tris(pentafluorophenylboron) was added, and the mixture was sonicated at 40 kHz for 17 min (the mass fraction of tris(pentafluorophenylboron) in the mixed solution was 0.9%). The mixture was then reacted at 27 °C and 1000 r / min for 2 h.

In addition, the present application can accurately control the molecular weight of the polysiloxane grafted on the surface of the single-layer graphene oxide, and has a wide application prospect.

[0047] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and refinements without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and refinements should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
