Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of two-dimensional material film preparation, and in particular to a method for preparing a reduced graphene oxide film based on electrofluid atomization printing. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) layered materials, including graphene, transition metal dihydrides (TMDs), hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), and MXenes, have attracted widespread attention due to their unique physicochemical properties. Typically, the lateral size of vdW materials can only reach tens of micrometers, which limits their application. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a process method that can synthesize high-performance 2D vdW materials on a large scale.

[0003] Graphene has broad application prospects and can be used in electronics, defense, health care, energy and other fields. However, it has not been commercialized in the true sense. At present, commercial graphene films on the market are all prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The CVD method for preparing graphene films is complex, requires a high temperature and high pressure environment, is costly, and difficult to transfer.

[0004] Graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets have been shown to be universal two-dimensional building blocks for various macrostructures (such as films or fibers). The performance of high-quality single-layer GO films after reduction can be close to that of graphene films prepared by CVD. However, in order to give full play to the performance of GO, it is crucial to prepare high-quality reduced GO films and ensure the alignment and directional arrangement of GO nanosheets. Traditional methods for preparing GO films, such as vacuum filtration (VF), interfacial assembly, Langmuir-BLodgett assembly, and gel-film conversion (GFT), are difficult to control the assembly process of GO nanosheets, and the thickness of the prepared films is difficult to reach the nanometer level. In addition, the prepared films have poor performance and low quality, which limits their large-scale application.

[0005] As an emerging micro-nano processing technology, electrofluidic printing can be used to produce functional materials with micro-nano characteristic structures. The principle of electrofluidic printing is to eject the precursor solution from the top of the Taylor cone in a "pulling" manner under the drive of the spatial electric field into droplets with extremely small diameters. It has three modes: electrofluidic dot spraying, electrofluidic spinning and electrofluidic atomization. Different printing modes can be achieved according to the properties of the precursor solution. Among them, electrofluidic atomization printing has the characteristics of tiny droplets (nanoscale), large area and uniformity, which is suitable for the preparation of micro-nano thin film materials.

[0006] The most important thing in preparing high-performance two-dimensional material films using two-dimensional nanomaterials is to control the thickness and surface roughness of the film. In the prior art, for example, Wuhan Huaweike Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd.'s SN201807129 electrospray printing device discloses that it can be used for graphene, but the film thickness prepared by the disclosed device exceeds 50nm, and the surface roughness of the prepared graphene film is large, resulting in poor performance.

[0007] In principle, electrofluidic atomization printing can be used to prepare large-area high-quality two-dimensional material films, but it has certain difficulties in actual operation. The applicant previously found that the key to preparing high-quality thin film materials using electrofluidic printing methods is the precursor solution. For graphene materials, the use of electrofluidic printing equipment to prepare thin films requires the preparation of its two-dimensional nanomaterials as liquid suspensions, and the graphene suspension solution prepared by the existing method is easy to precipitate or its graphene oxide suspension cannot be directly used for electrofluidic atomization printing film making, or the suspension cannot be stably atomized when directly printed, resulting in poor continuity, poor performance, low quality of the prepared film, and thus cannot be used for large-scale applications. Therefore, it is essential to regulate the properties of the precursor solution to ensure its stable atomization and promote the self-assembly of graphene oxide nanosheets for the preparation of large-area high-performance reduced graphene oxide films. Summary of the invention

[0008] In view of the above technical problems, the present invention provides a method for preparing a reduced graphene oxide film based on electrofluidic atomization printing, and the method can obtain a large-area, high-performance reduced graphene oxide film. The present invention adopts a specific graphene oxide precursor solution to satisfy the conditions of electrofluidic atomization printing and promote the self-assembly of graphene oxide nanosheets, and prepares a high-performance graphene oxide film on a substrate by atomizing and printing the graphene oxide precursor solution through an electrofluidic device, and reduces it by a chemical reduction method to obtain a high-performance reduced graphene oxide film. The present invention adopts a commercialized graphene oxide suspension in the prior art, etc., and is used for the stable atomization spraying of an electrofluidic device to prepare a large-area high-performance reduced graphene oxide film, and the prepared graphene oxide film has a uniform thickness, strong continuity, and the performance of the graphene film after reduction is superior, and can be applied on a large scale. And the method is simple and flexible, can greatly reduce the production cost of the reduced graphene oxide film, and is suitable for large-scale industrial production.

[0009] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0010] The present invention provides a method for preparing a reduced graphene oxide film based on electrofluidic atomization printing, comprising the following steps:

[0011] (1) obtaining a graphene oxide liquid film on a substrate surface by electrofluidic atomization printing of a graphene oxide precursor solution;

[0012] (2) drying the graphene oxide liquid film to obtain a graphene oxide dry film;

[0013] (3) chemically reducing the graphene oxide dry film to obtain a reduced graphene oxide film;

[0014] The graphene oxide precursor solution is a mixed solution of a graphene oxide suspension and an organic solvent; and the graphene oxide suspension is a deionized water phase suspension.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment, in step (1), the graphene oxide suspension is an aqueous suspension of graphene oxide nanosheets;

[0016] Preferably, the graphene oxide nanosheet aqueous suspension is prepared by a modified Hofmann method or a modified Hummers method;

[0017] Preferably, the graphene oxide nanosheet suspension prepared by the improved Hofmann method or the improved Hummers method is a graphene oxide nanosheet suspension with few carboxyl groups; the monolayer rate of the graphene oxide nanosheet is ≥99.5%, the carboxyl content is 20-30%, and the average radial size is 5-50 μm; in the technical scheme of the present invention, the graphene oxide nanosheet with few carboxyl groups can weaken the interaction with water and the nanosheets, so that it is convenient for it to maintain a good suspension state in the liquid phase, convenient for electrospray atomization, and can promote its stable atomization. In addition, the graphene oxide nanosheet with few carboxyl groups is convenient for self-assembly on the substrate, avoiding its gelation, and can regulate the continuity and thickness uniformity of the film. More importantly, the graphene oxide nanosheet with few carboxyl groups is easy to be subsequently reduced, so as to prepare high-quality reduced graphene oxide films; too high a carboxyl content is not conducive to the self-assembly of the graphene oxide nanosheets on the substrate, resulting in uneven prepared graphene oxide films, easy formation of wrinkles, and large roughness of the film surface. At the same time, a high carboxyl content requires a long reduction time, which will reduce the performance of the subsequent reduced graphene oxide film;

[0018] In certain specific embodiments, the graphene oxide suspension can directly adopt commercial graphene oxide suspension (such as Gaoxun Technology, Carbonfeng Technology, and Jicang Nano).

[0019] As a preferred embodiment, in step (1), the graphene oxide precursor solution is a mixed solution of 1-10 mg / mL graphene oxide nanosheet aqueous suspension and an organic solvent in a volume ratio of 2-4:6-8;

[0024] In the technical solution of the present invention, the material of the substrate is not particularly limited, as long as it is flat. In some specific embodiments, the material of the substrate is selected from polymer materials, metal materials or ceramic materials; the polymer materials can specifically include polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyimide (PI), polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), polytetrafluoroethylene, paper base, cloth, etc.; the metal materials can specifically include copper, aluminum, iron, cobalt, nickel, zinc, magnesium, etc. and their alloy materials; the ceramic materials can specifically include aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide, titanium oxide and silicon oxide, etc.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment, in step (2), the drying is performed at 50-80° C. for 0.5-2 hours; in the technical solution of the present invention, low-temperature drying (50-80° C.) can prevent shrinkage of the graphene oxide film during the drying process, thereby ensuring that a high-performance graphene oxide dry film with low surface roughness is obtained;

[0026] Preferably, the graphene oxide dry film has a thickness of 0.8 nm to 10 μm and a surface roughness of 0.1 to 3 nm.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment, in step (3), the chemical reduction method comprises the following steps:

[0028] The graphene oxide dry film is placed in a closed space with a mixed solution of hydroiodic acid and glacial acetic acid by constant temperature heating for steam reduction, and then the iodine element generated by the reduction and the residual glacial acetic acid are removed by heating;

[0029] Alternatively, the graphene oxide dry film is immersed in a mixed solution of hydroiodic acid and glacial acetic acid for chemical reduction, and then the iodine element generated by the reduction and the residual glacial acetic acid are removed by heating;

[0031] Preferably, the constant temperature heating temperature is 95°C to 100°C, and the constant temperature heating time is 8 to 10 hours;

[0032] Preferably, the soaking temperature is 20 to 30° C. and the soaking time is 5 to 8 hours;

[0033] Preferably, the heating to remove the iodine element generated by reduction and the residual glacial acetic acid is performed by heating at 100 to 150° C. for 10 to 12 hours.
