Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of composite material manufacturing, and in particular relates to the preparation of flash vaporized graphene. Background Art
[0002] Graphene is a carbon atom in the form of sp 2 The special structure of the two-dimensional material composed of hybrid orbitals makes it exhibit excellent mechanical, electrical and chemical properties. These properties give it broad prospects in the fields of materials science, energy, biomedicine, etc. The traditional synthesis methods of graphene are divided into top-down exfoliation and bottom-up growth. The high defects caused by the top-down method and the high cost required by the bottom-up method limit the large-scale production of graphene. Flash Joule heating technology is an innovative technology that directly synthesizes large-scale graphene from low-cost carbon sources. It can convert various carbon sources into high-purity graphene in less than 100 milliseconds. This technology is highly efficient, pollution-free, and has high product purity, and is hailed as a revolutionary technology.
[0003] The carbon source selected by the flash Joule heating device usually contains many impurities. The traditional impurity removal method is low-voltage discharge pretreatment. Although this method can quickly remove most of the impurities in the carbon source, it still has the following shortcomings: First, the resistance value of the sample after low-voltage discharge pretreatment is significantly lower than that before pretreatment. Too low resistance value will make it difficult for the sample to rise to the corresponding temperature during the flash Joule heating process, making it difficult to convert the selected carbon source into graphene; second, the energy generated by low-voltage discharge is relatively low, which may lead to incomplete impurity removal, especially for those impurities that are tightly bound to the sample or difficult to decompose. Low voltage may not provide enough energy to decompose or separate from the sample.
[0004] Plasma technology is an applied science involving the fourth state of matter - plasma. Plasma is composed of ions, electrons and neutral particles, is highly active, and can produce various impurity removal effects under the action of electromagnetic fields.
[0005] Compared with the traditional low-voltage discharge pretreatment for impurity removal, plasma impurity removal has high efficiency, does not cause surface damage, and does not change the resistance value of the sample. Therefore, it is proposed to use plasma impurity removal instead of traditional low-voltage discharge pretreatment. However, plasma impurity removal technology is limited to the sample surface. For some powdered or granular samples, it is difficult for plasma to effectively remove impurities from the sample. In addition, if the plasma impurity removal treatment is carried out separately from the flash Joule heat, the more complicated operation process and long-term contact with air will have a negative impact on the purity of the final graphene.
[0006] Therefore, this patent abandons the traditional graphene preparation method and innovatively improves the flash Joule heat equipment to combine it with plasma technology, overcoming the problem that plasma impurity removal technology cannot effectively remove impurities from powdered samples, and designs a device that directly synthesizes high-purity graphene from a carbon source with more impurities.
