Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of graphene plate, and particularly relates to a graphene plate preparation method for a graphene solid vapor chamber and the graphene solid vapor chamber. BACKGROUND

[0002] The liquid cooling plate is a device for heat dissipation, which is usually applied to high-performance computers, servers and other occasions requiring a large amount of operation and data processing. It reduces the chip temperature by introducing water or other liquids into the heat sink and cooling the silicon chip by using the fluid. Although it has the advantages of good effect, etc., compared with some servers, aerospace, radar and other equipment, the liquid cooling plate has the disadvantages of liquid leakage risk and long-term failure.

[0003] The graphene vapor chamber is a new material combining graphene material and vapor chamber. Since graphene is a nano material with greater strength, the thinnest thickness and almost transparent in the world, and has high mechanical properties, excellent thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, light transmittance, toughness and extremely small resistivity, the performance of the graphene vapor chamber is greatly improved compared with other types of vapor chambers. However, the graphene vapor chamber still needs to be studied in view of the problems of liquid leakage risk and long-term failure. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a graphene plate preparation method for a graphene solid vapor chamber, which can effectively solve the problems of liquid leakage risk and long-term failure existing in the prior art.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present application adopts the following technical scheme:

[0007] S1, preparing an oxidized graphene film: mixing and stirring oxidized graphene and deionized water to disperse, after the viscosity of the mixture is initially stirred to rise to 10000 mPa·s, using a high-pressure homogenizer to stir and disperse, after the dispersion is completed, adjusting the pH value of the mixture to above 7, stirring until the slurry viscosity rises to above 3 mPa·s, to prepare an oxidized graphene slurry; coating and drying the oxidized graphene slurry into a film by coating to obtain an oxidized graphene film;

[0008] S2, performing concave-convex treatment on the surface of the oxidized graphene film: the oxidized graphene film is subjected to roller pressing treatment to obtain an oxidized graphene film with uneven surface, and then the oxidized graphene film is pretreated in an oven to remove part of the oxygen-containing groups, so that the carbon-oxygen ratio of the oxidized graphene film is increased to above 4 to obtain a pretreated oxidized graphene film; then the pretreated oxidized graphene film is placed in a graphite furnace, and is heated to 1700-3000 DEG C at a gradient, and is kept in vacuum or inert gas protection throughout the process to obtain an expanded graphene heat dissipation film;

[0009] S3, needle punching and scratching treatment on the surface of the graphene heat dissipation film: an entire width of needle is used to punch the graphene heat dissipation film, so as to build an escape channel for the air in the graphene heat dissipation film during the calendering process; then a layer of scratches is scratched on the surface of the graphene heat dissipation film, so as to provide an anchoring node between layers for the next stage of multi-layer calendering, and improve the interlayer bonding force of the product.

[0010] S4, compaction treatment: the graphene heat dissipation film is pressed into a graphene plate with a thickness of 0.1-500 mm through multi-layer stacking by using a calender, so as to obtain the graphene plate for graphene solid vapor chamber.

[0011] In step S1, the graphene oxide accounts for 4-15 parts by mass; the deionized water accounts for 84-95.9 parts by mass; and the thickness of the prepared graphene oxide film is 10-1000 μm.

[0012] In step S2, the temperature of the oven pretreatment is 60℃-300℃; and the thickness of the obtained graphene heat dissipation film is 100-500 μm; in step S3, the distance between the needles is 1-10 mm, and the size of the needle holes is 0.01-0.5 mm.

[0013] In addition, the application also provides a graphene solid vapor chamber made of the graphene plate.

[0014] The graphene plate preparation method provided in the above technical solution expands the graphene heat dissipation film through high-temperature treatment after the surface of the prepared graphene oxide film is processed to be concave-convex, and then performs needle punching treatment on the expanded graphene heat dissipation film, so as to build an escape channel for the air in the graphene heat dissipation film during the calendering process; the subsequent scratching treatment can provide an anchoring node between layers for the next stage of multi-layer calendering, and improve the interlayer bonding force of the product. The graphene solid vapor chamber made of the graphene plate is full solid and has no liquid leakage, and has the characteristics of high safety and long-term reliability.

[0051] The graphene solid vapor chamber of the present embodiment uses the graphene plate of Example 3 as the core, and an aluminum plate as the shell, and forms a sandwich structure by using vacuum diffusion welding or friction welding, to obtain a graphene solid vapor chamber.

[0052] The following tests are performed on several commonly used materials in the art, and the tested products are as follows:

[0053] Heating sheet (blank test) ; copper VC, 300 μm thick; stainless steel VC, 300 μm thick; graphene plate (obtained from the graphene plate prepared in Example 3, and selected to have a thickness of 300 μm), 300 μm thick; then tested using a multi-channel temperature meter, with a direct current stabilized power supply output of 4 W, four identical ceramic heating sheets each having a diameter of 24 mm connected in series to the stabilized power supply, and an ambient temperature of 25 °C; the upper end of the test sample was attached to the heating sheet, with 10 mm of the test sample protruding from the heating sheet (as shown in Figure 1
