[0002] In the fields of electronic devices, sensors, and energy, the resistance stability of materials is one of the key indicators for measuring their performance. First of all, stable resistance ensures consistent circuit signal transmission, reduces distortion and noise, and improves the accuracy and reliability of electronic devices and sensors. Secondly, resistance stability slows down material aging, extends the service life of devices, and reduces the failure rate. In addition, resistance stability ensures consistent performance of mass-produced products and simplifies the quality control process in production. In a complex environment, resistance stability ensures that devices can work normally under high temperature, low temperature, or humid environments. Resistance stability can also reduce energy loss, improve energy efficiency, and help design more efficient circuits and systems. Long-term stability ensures that the performance of devices remains unchanged during long-term use, reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement. Application examples include flexible electronics, transparent conductive films, high-frequency electronic devices, and sensors, etc. In short, resistance stability is crucial for improving device performance, extending lifespan, ensuring consistency, adapting to complex environments, improving energy efficiency, and enhancing reliability, and is widely used in the fields of electronics, sensors, and energy.

[0003] In the two-dimensional structure of graphene, when forming a conductive path, the graphene sheets are in contact and overlap with each other. When such graphene conductive materials undergo tensile deformation, it is easy to occur the phenomenon of sliding layers between the graphene sheets, and the conductive network is damaged, resulting in a sharp increase in the resistance of the material, which undoubtedly severely limits its application scope. How to prepare a flexible graphene conductive material with a low rate of change of resistance during deformation and good conductivity has become a major problem urgently to be solved in industrial applications. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a flexible graphene-carbon nanotube composite conductive film, a preparation method thereof and an application. The composite conductive film has the advantages of excellent conductivity, low deformation resistance change rate, environmental friendliness, simple production and low cost. An aqueous graphene-carbon nanotube composite conductive paste is prepared by ultrasonic mixing of aqueous graphene and aqueous carbon nanotubes. The composite conductive paste is coated on a PET release film and dried at a certain temperature to obtain a flexible graphene-carbon nanotube composite conductive film with a stable resistance value. By optimizing the composition and proportion of the composite material, including but not limited to selecting array-type carbon nanotubes with a tube diameter of 8-15 nm, controlling the mass ratio of aqueous graphene and aqueous carbon nanotubes, and the content of aqueous resin, the carbon nanotubes are uniformly interspersed between the graphene sheets to form anchoring points. The carbon nanotubes act as a bridge between the graphene sheets, enriching the conductive network between the graphene sheets, and finally forming a three-dimensional elastic network conductive structure that can resist the resistance change caused by deformation.

[0005] One of the technical solutions of the present invention is to provide a preparation method of the above flexible graphene-carbon nanotube composite conductive film, and the specific steps are as follows: (1) Stir 10 parts by weight of the dispersion of aqueous graphene and 20-40 parts by weight of the dispersion of aqueous carbon nanotubes evenly, and then perform ultrasonic treatment; the solid content of the dispersion of aqueous graphene and the dispersion of aqueous carbon nanotubes is 5 wt%. (2) Add 5-20 parts by weight of aqueous resin and stir evenly; (3) Add 0.01-0.1 parts by weight of defoaming agent and stir evenly; (4) Add 0.2-1 part by weight of thickener and stir evenly to obtain an aqueous graphene-carbon nanotube conductive paste; (5) Uniformly coat the aqueous graphene-carbon nanotube composite conductive paste on a PET release film through a knife coater, and put it into an oven to dry into a film.

[0006] The drying conditions are: the oven temperature is 100-150 °C, preferably 110-130 °C, and the baking time is 10-40 min, preferably 20-30 min.

[0007] Further, the graphene is few-layer graphene with a sheet diameter of 0.5-2.5 μm, preferably 1-2 μm. The carbon nanotubes are array-type carbon nanotubes with a tube diameter of 8-15 nm.

[0008] Further, the aqueous graphene dispersion is ground by a sand mill until graphene sheets with the required particle size are obtained. The rotation speed of the sand mill is 2000-2800 r / min, preferably 2600-2800 r / min. Preferably, after being ground by the sand mill, the few-layer graphene has a sheet diameter of 1-2 μm.

[0009] Furthermore, the water-based resin is one or more of polyurethane resin and acrylate resin, preferably acrylate resin.

[0010] Furthermore, the water-based resin is one or more of Wanhua 5531, BASF A970, Silok 3041, and Jinrunna 8107.

[0011] After ultrasonic treatment, carbon nanotubes are evenly interspersed between graphene sheets to form anchor points. Carbon nanotubes act as bridges between graphene sheets, enriching the conductive network between graphene sheets and eventually forming a three-dimensional elastic mesh conductive structure. Graphene of a certain size has both high conductivity and composite material flexibility. At the same time, due to the existence of carbon nanotube bridges, there is a certain elasticity between the conductive networks, which hinders the slippage between graphene sheets during deformation, thereby reducing the influence of deformation on the conductivity of the material.

[0012] The second technical solution of the present invention is to provide the above-mentioned aqueous graphene-carbon nanotube conductive slurry, including 10 parts by weight of aqueous graphene dispersion; 20-40 parts by weight of aqueous carbon nanotube dispersion, preferably 25-35 parts by weight; 5-20 parts by weight of aqueous resin, preferably 5-10 parts by weight; 0.01-0.1 parts by weight of defoaming agent, preferably 0.05-0.1 parts by weight.

[0013] The third technical solution of the present invention is to provide a graphene-carbon nanotube composite conductive film prepared by the above preparation method.

[0014] The fourth technical solution of the present invention is to provide the application of the above-mentioned conductive film in the fields of anti-static, electromagnetic shielding, electronic smart wearables, and electric heating.

[0015] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that ultrasound causes carbon nanotubes to be interspersed and distributed between graphene sheets, and at the same time forms anchor points, and carbon nanotubes and graphene eventually form a three-dimensional elastic network conductive structure, reducing the influence of deformation on resistance. The resistance change rate of the prepared conductive film after stretching by 10% can be as low as 13.49%. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] It should be clear that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0028] The terms used in the embodiments of the present application are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the present application. The singular forms "a", "the", and "said" used in the embodiments of the present application and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0029] Example 1 Put the aqueous graphene dispersion with a solid content of 5 wt% into a sand mill and grind it at a speed of 2000 rpm for 10 min. The measured particle size is 1.8 μm. Take 10 g of the sand-milled aqueous graphene dispersion and 30 g of the aqueous carbon nanotube dispersion with a solid content of 5 wt%, stir them at a speed of 600 rpm for 10 min, then ultrasonicate for 30 min. Add 5 g of the aqueous acrylic emulsion A970, stir at a speed of 500 rpm for 40 min, then add 0.05 g of the defoamer BYK-019, stir at a speed of 400 rpm for 30 min, and finally add 0.5 g of the thickener M23, stir at a speed of 600 rpm for 30 min and then discharge to obtain the aqueous graphene-carbon nanotube composite conductive paste. Coat the prepared aqueous graphene-carbon nanotube composite conductive paste evenly on the PET release film with a doctor blade coater. Put the coated wet film into an oven and bake it at 120 °C for 30 min to obtain a conductive film. The resistance of the conductive film is 43.32 Ω, and the resistance change rate after 10% stretching is 14.47%. The scanning electron microscope image of the conductive film is as Figure 3 shown. The carbon nanotubes are evenly dispersed between the graphene sheets, forming a three-dimensional sheet-wire cross-linked conductive structure. The carbon nanotubes are interspersed between the graphene sheets, forming anchoring points and acting as bridges between the graphene sheets, enriching the conductive network between the graphene sheets and improving the conductivity of the material. Graphene of a certain size takes into account both high conductivity and the flexibility of the composite material. At the same time, due to the existence of the array-type carbon nanotube bridges, there is a certain elasticity between the conductive networks, which hinders the slippage between the graphene sheets during the deformation process, thereby reducing the influence of deformation on the conductivity of the material. The resistance of the conductive film is 43.32 Ω, and the resistance change rate after 10% stretching is 14.17%. To meet the requirement of maintaining signal stability for flexible electrodes under human movement (15 - 20% stretching), its lower resistance change rate is significantly better than that of commercially available conductive fabrics; In terms of electromagnetic shielding (EMI), it meets the requirement of maintaining the shielding efficiency of the shielding layer of 5G devices such as foldable mobile phones under 10% bending deformation. The shielding efficiency attenuation after stretching ≤ 3 dB (the attenuation of conventional materials is 5 - 10 dB), meeting the GB / T 30142-2013 dynamic shielding standard; In terms of electrothermal devices, it is suitable for the mechanical stress of the automotive seat heating film that endures 10% installation deformation for a long time, and the resistance fluctuation < 15% can avoid local overheating; In the field of anti-static, its low resistance change rate can prevent the risk of charge accumulation caused by deformation.
