Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of high-performance textile fabrics, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a fiber-based graphene / polyaniline electrothermal material. BACKGROUND

[0002] Carbon-based materials are widely used in flexible electronic components due to their good flexibility, excellent electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. Graphene, as a new ultra-thin two-dimensional material, is tightly packed by sp 2 The hybrid-connected carbon atoms form a single-layer two-dimensional honeycomb lattice structure, which has excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and high specific surface area, and has become one of the most popular candidate materials in the field of electronic components in conductive and thermal conductive textiles. In addition, polyaniline is a low-cost conductive and thermal conductive polymer, which is often used as an active material for sensors and supercapacitors. Its synthesis process is simple, and the obtained composite material has high latent heat and heat storage capacity. Graphene with high thermal conductivity is added as a filler to the polyaniline matrix to fill the intermolecular gaps of polyaniline, forming an effective heat conduction channel. The synergistic effect of graphene and polyaniline can greatly enhance the thermal conductivity of the fabric. However, graphene and polyaniline have poor water solubility, especially graphene often agglomerates during the dispersion process, which affects the uniformity and fastness of the fabric.

[0003] Currently, graphene electrothermal fabric is mainly prepared by coating, padding, printing and other methods to load graphene material on the fabric to give it high thermal conductivity by reacting graphene with various thermal conductive materials such as metal particles, carbon-based materials, and high polymers. The preparation of graphene thermal conductive dispersion is particularly important.

[0004] CN111436168A discloses a graphene electrothermal paste, a graphene electrothermal film and a preparation method and application thereof. The graphene powder, polyamide resin and additives are used to prepare a polar organic solvent, which is then prepared into a film by screen printing. However, the electrothermal film has uneven heating. CN110283456A discloses a preparation method of graphene and secondary doped polyaniline nanocomposite, which improves the electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance of graphene to some extent, but the water solubility and dispersion performance of the obtained composite material are weak. CN106012086A discloses a preparation method of graphene / polyaniline composite fiber. The polyaniline is generated by in-situ polymerization, and the graphene oxide / polyaniline composite fiber is prepared by wet spinning. Nitrogen is used to protect the polymerization of polyaniline, and hydriodic acid is used to reduce graphene oxide. The reduction temperature and time are 80-200℃ and 8-24h, respectively. The preparation process is time-consuming and complex.

[0055] The obtained fiber-based graphene electrothermal material is tested according to the present application, as follows:

[0056] 1. Conductive performance test

[0057] The four-probe resistance tester is used to measure the surface resistance of the fabric at any five positions, and the average value is the surface resistance of the fabric.

[0058] 2. Electrothermal performance characterization

[0059] The stabilized power supply line is connected to both ends of the fabric, the distance between the power supply connection is controlled to be 3 cm, and the apparent heating temperature and infrared imaging of the fabric under different voltage conditions and different power-on time are tested by using the infrared imaging instrument.

[0060] Figure 1 Figure 1 Figure 1 is a digital photo of the graphene / polyaniline composite material of Example 1. Figure 2 Figure 2 is a SEM image of the graphene / polyaniline composite material of Example 1, and the magnification is 10000 times, as shown in Figure 2, a large number of nanorod structures are stacked on the surface of the fiber, indicating that aniline is successfully polymerized into polyaniline and loaded on the surface of graphene. Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 3 is an infrared imaging schematic diagram of Example 1, as shown in the figure, the heating temperature of the prepared fabric reaches 77.3°C when powered on for 2 min under 14V voltage, and the heating is uniform.

[0061] Table 1

[0062]

[0063] Table 1 above is the surface resistance of Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-2, as shown in Table 1, according to Examples 1-2 and Comparative Example 1, when the concentration of aniline is the same, with the increase of the concentration of KH560, the resistance first decreases and then increases, and the resistance is the smallest when the concentration is 10 g / L, because the treatment of KH560 promotes the deposition of GO on the fabric, but when the concentration is too high, it is cross-linked and polymerized itself, thereby hindering the deposition of graphene.

[0064] ​As can be seen from Examples 1 and 3-4, when the concentration of KH560 is 10 g / L, the surface resistance also presents a trend of first decreasing and then increasing with the increase of the concentration of aniline, and the resistance is the lowest when the concentration of aniline is 0.5 mol / L. This is because aniline is doped and polymerized in the protonic acid solution, and the surface is positively charged, which can crosslink with the negatively charged graphene loaded on the fiber surface. When the content of aniline is too high, it cannot deposit the fiber and thus aggregates in the solution, at this time, the deposited graphene will partially fall off, thereby causing the resistance to increase;

[0065] As can be seen from Examples 1 and Comparative Examples 1-2, the surface resistance is 4.912 KΩ / Sq (Comparative Example 2) when no KH560 and polyaniline are added, and the resistance is reduced to 1.808 KΩ / Sq (Comparative Example 1) after adding 0.5 mol / L aniline (the resistance is reduced by 63%). On this basis, the surface resistance is reduced to 0.329 KΩ / Sq (Example 1) after the fabric is treated with KH560 (the resistance is reduced by 93%), which proves that the fabric treated with KH560 has a good synergistic effect on the deposition of graphene and polyaniline.
