Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the cross technical field of special papermaking and carbon fiber base material preparation, and particularly relates to high-air-permeability pitch-based carbon fiber raw paper and a preparation process thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Among numerous new energy, fuel cells have high energy conversion efficiency, low pollution, low noise and strong adaptability, and thus have attracted extensive attention. At present, fuel cells are mainly divided into alkaline fuel cells, proton exchange membrane fuel cells, solid oxide fuel cells and phosphoric acid fuel cells, among which, proton exchange membrane fuel cells use hydrogen, methanol and other fuels, and are favored by the market. The proton exchange membrane fuel cell is mainly composed of a bipolar plate, a gas diffusion layer and a proton exchange membrane. The diffusion layer not only supports the catalyst, but also is an important carrier for fuel gas diffusion, water and heat conduction and current collection. However, due to the existence of chemical corrosion, there are not many materials that can be used as the gas diffusion layer of the fuel cell. Carbon paper is a material that has been successfully commercialized by international companies such as Japan's Toray and Germany's SGL, and has high commercial potential and value.

[0003] The carbon paper is obtained by carbonization, graphitization and hydrophobic treatment of carbon fiber raw paper, and the structure and performance of the carbon fiber raw paper determine the quality of the final carbon. However, carbon fibers have strong inertness and high brittleness, and it is difficult to prepare carbon fiber raw paper with high flexibility, high conductivity and high air permeability. In order to obtain carbon fiber raw paper with high air permeability, scientists have used polyethylene glycol and phenolic resin to glue carbon fibers, and then cured them at high temperature to obtain carbon fiber raw paper. For example, the patent US20180069245 of Mitsubishi Corporation in Japan glues carbon fibers with 15% polyvinyl alcohol to obtain flexible carbon fiber paper. The patent US2006214320 of Tse-Hao obtains carbon paper with a deflection of 1.5-4.8 mm by mixing with cellulose and impregnating with phenolic resin. Thereafter, the patent US6489051 of Mikio et al. prepares carbon paper by using vinyl acetate, epoxy resin and melamine resin, but there are problems of insufficient air permeability and introduction of impurities. For a long time, due to the late start of domestic carbon fibers, the manufacturing technology of carbon fiber paper has been relatively backward. SUMMARY

[0004] In view of the problem that the air permeability, strength, conductivity and flexibility of traditional carbon fiber raw paper are difficult to be considered simultaneously, the application provides high-air-permeability pitch-based carbon fiber raw paper and a preparation process thereof. The carbon fiber raw paper is prepared by taking pitch-based carbon fiber as a skeleton, taking aramid pulp as an auxiliary forming fiber and using low-concentration phenolic resin impregnation as a strengthening agent, so as to solve the contradiction between the conductivity, strength, flexibility and air permeability of the carbon fiber paper.

[0005] The application is realized by the following technical scheme:

[0006] A high-air-permeability pitch-based carbon fiber base paper and a preparation process thereof, comprising the following steps:

[0007] Step 1, pitch-based carbon fiber is soaked in dilute hydrochloric acid solution, and then ultrasonic cleaning, drying time to obtain pitch-based carbon fiber A;

[0008] The waste aramid fabric is separated by twisting, beating and refining to obtain aramid pulp B with high specific surface area, high terminal bifurcation and high interweaving force;

[0009] Step 2: first, the aramid pulp B is defibrated in water, then pitch-based carbon fiber A and PEO dispersion liquid are added for defibration again, and then pitch-based carbon fiber paper C is prepared by forming and drying treatment;

[0010] Step 3: pitch-based carbon fiber paper C is immersed in phenolic resin dispersion solution, and then dried and hot-pressed to obtain pitch-based carbon fiber base paper with high air permeability.

[0011] Preferably, in step 1, the pitch-based carbon fiber has the following requirements: length of 3-8 mm, diameter of 7-8 μm, resistivity of 1.5-2.0 μΩ·m, tensile strength of 2.2-2.4 Gpa, and elongation at break of 0.25%-0.26%; the concentration of dilute hydrochloric acid is 1-2%, the ultrasonic treatment time is 5-10 min, and the drying temperature is 100-105℃ for 15-25 min.

[0012] Preferably, in step 1, the waste aramid fabric is para-aramid fiber, mainly from discarded body armor and woven fabric production scraps.

[0013] Preferably, in step 1, the feeding time during twisting is 40-50 kg / h, the beating time during beating is 3-5 h, the refining time during refining is 0.5-1.0 h, and the specific surface area of aramid pulp B is 10-12 m 2 / g.

[0014] Preferably, in step 2, the ratio of aramid pulp B to water is 1.0-1.2 g: 2 L, and the defibration speed is 5000-6000 rpm.

[0015] Preferably, in step 2, the dry mass ratio of pitch-based carbon fiber A to aramid pulp B is 6-5:4, the concentration of PEO dispersion liquid is 0.5 g / L, the volume is 5-10 mL, and the defibration speed is 20,000-25,000 rpm.

[0016] Preferably, in step 2, the drying temperature is 110-120℃, and the drying time is 10-15 min.

[0017] Preferably, in step 3, the phenolic resin dispersion solution is industrial-grade ethanol with a mass fraction of 0.8 wt%-1.0 wt%, and the impregnation time is 5-10 min.

[0018] Preferably, in step 3, the drying temperature is 60-70 DEG C, and the drying time is 20-30 min; the hot-pressing temperature is 150-180 DEG C, the hot-pressing time is 5-8 min, and the hot-pressing pressure is 6-10 MPa.

[0019] An asphalt-based carbon fiber base paper prepared by the process.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the process has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] First, the process for preparing the high-air-permeability asphalt-based carbon fiber base paper uses asphalt-based carbon fiber as the framework, aramid pulp as the auxiliary forming fiber, and low-concentration phenolic resin impregnation as the reinforcing agent to prepare the carbon fiber base paper with high air permeability, thereby solving the contradiction between the conductivity, strength, flexibility, and air permeability of the carbon fiber paper. Compared with the disclosed process scheme, the raw material components are optimized and limited: on the one hand, aramid pulp fiber is introduced to improve the paper formation uniformity and promote fiber interweaving, and on the other hand, low-concentration phenolic resin impregnation is used to avoid the blocking of the pores. In this structure, the introduced aramid pulp molecular structure is alternately composed of benzene rings and amide bonds, and the molecular structure has a high carbon content, which is beneficial to obtaining a paper with higher conductivity after carbonization. At the same time, since the aramid pulp has good dispersibility after floc formation, the paper formation uniformity of the carbon fiber base paper can also be improved.

[0022] The introduced aramid pulp has good flexibility and adhesion, which can improve the flexibility and strength of the paper after paper formation, make up for the brittleness and interface inertia of the carbon fiber, form a rich conductive network after carbonization, and be beneficial to the improvement of the comprehensive conductive performance of the paper, thereby solving the contradiction between the strength, flexibility, and conductivity of the carbon fiber. In addition, the proportion of the aramid pulp is obtained through long-term process optimization. If the aramid pulp content is too high, the resin impregnation is not conducive, and the pore structure of the paper is easily blocked. If the aramid pulp content is too low, the paper formation uniformity is not obviously improved, and the flexibility is insufficient.

[0023] Further, on the basis of the introduction of aramid pulp, the interweaving points between the carbon fibers, the carbon fibers and the aramid pulp, and the aramid pulp are adhered and reinforced through the ultra-low-concentration phenolic resin impregnation. The concentration of the phenolic resin is the result of process optimization. At the ultra-low concentration, the contact deficiency of the fibers is supplemented, the construction of the conductive network after carbonization is facilitated, the strength is completely achieved, the stress is transmitted during the stretching process, and the realization of the performance of the paper is ensured.

[0024] Further, the preferred aramid pulp in the application contains abundant amino groups, which has good compatibility and self-binding force with phenolic resin, ensuring high efficiency at low concentration. The principle is that the aramid pulp tip groups can form extensive hydrogen bond combination with the resin, and the phenolic resin curing can crosslink the aramid pulp, so that the two are combined by chemical and physical interaction, which is not available in other public patent applications. The realization of this principle belongs to one of the unique technical points of the application.

[0025] Further, the pulp disintegration revolution number, fiber adding sequence, drying temperature, hot pressing finishing temperature and hot pressing finishing pressure in the application are the results of process optimization. For example, the pulp disintegration revolution number ensures no breakage under high dispersion, the drying temperature guarantees energy saving under high efficiency, and the finishing temperature ensures no rheological plugging under phenolic resin curing, which are the results of long-term process optimization. The technical effect lies in improving the paper quality and saving energy consumption. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
