The heat-resistant edible ink is made from distilled water, potassium sorbate, sucrose, xanthan gum, soybean oil, food coloring, and a heat-resistant reagent by weight percentage. Preparation method: 1. Weigh each raw material according to the weight percentage; 2. Dissolve potassium sorbate in distilled water to obtain a potassium sorbate solution; 3. Add sucrose to the potassium sorbate solution, then add xanthan gum; 4. Mix soybean oil, food coloring, and the heat-resistant reagent; 5. Add the solution obtained in step 4 to the solution obtained in step 3, stir, and let stand to obtain the heat-resistant edible ink.
[0004] Chinese Patent CN105331194B discloses a nanocrystalline cellulose edible ink and its preparation method. The method involves mixing nanocrystalline cellulose with water, ultrasonically treating the mixture, and then adding water, sweetener, colorant, thickener, and binder in batches under constant temperature and stirring conditions to obtain the nanocrystalline cellulose edible ink. The nanocrystalline cellulose used in this method is derived from natural plant fibers.
[0005] Chinese Patent CN109971248A: This invention relates to a method for preparing a halogen-free ink specifically for lithium battery coating black film, belonging to the field of printing materials technology. The invention uses squid ink or carrot pigment as a colorant, soybean oil as a binder, gelatin-modified chitosan as a thickener, soybean lecithin as an emulsifier, and sucrose aqueous solution as a sweetener to prepare an edible ink.
[0006] The inks prepared using the above patents and existing technologies are prone to fading and have unsatisfactory printing performance. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To address the above problems, this invention provides a method for preparing a halogen-free ink specifically for lithium battery coating black films, the steps of which are as follows: S1: According to the weight parts, add 80-100 parts distilled water, 1-5 parts colorant, 0.2-2 parts thickener, 0.1-1 part sweetener, and 0.02-0.06 parts of novel non-toxic antioxidant, heat to 40-50℃, and stir to mix evenly; S2: Continue to add 5-15 parts of binder material, emulsify completely, and let stand to obtain halogen-free ink for lithium battery coating black film.
[0008] As a supplement to the present invention, the colorant is one of the following: sodium copper chlorophyllin, natural plant carbon black, carmine, grape skin red, paprika red, turmeric, squid ink, and carotene.
[0009] As a supplement to the present invention, the thickener is one of gum arabic, pectin, carrageenan, xanthan gum, and starch.
[0010] As a supplement to the present invention, the sweetener is one of glucose, sorbitol, and sucrose.
[0011] As a supplement to the present invention, the binder is one of peanut oil, salad oil, and soybean oil.
[0012] As a supplement to the present invention, the settling time of S2 is 30-60 minutes.
[0013] As a supplement to the present invention, the preparation method of the novel non-toxic antioxidant is as follows: A1: Add 11-22 parts of mercapto-β-cyclodextrin (CAS No. 81644-55-5), 5-10 parts of potassium sorbate, 1-3 parts of sodium bicarbonate, and 0.05-0.3 parts of vitamin C to a reaction vessel, and add 200-240 parts of deionized water as a solvent to fully dissolve the raw materials; under nitrogen protection, heat the reaction system to 50-60℃ and stir continuously for 3-5 hours. A2: After the reaction is complete, the reaction solution is cooled to room temperature, and then water is removed by rotary evaporator. Next, the remaining liquid is freeze-dried to obtain crude product. The crude product is dissolved in 100-200 parts of ethanol, and then purified by silica gel column chromatography. The eluent containing the target product is collected and freeze-dried again to finally obtain a pure new non-toxic antioxidant.
[0014] Reaction mechanism The thiol group (-SH) in mercapto-β-cyclodextrin exhibits relatively low electronegativity of the sulfur atom, while its hydrogen atom possesses a certain degree of reactivity. Under heating and stirring conditions, the hydrogen atom on the thiol group readily dissociates, forming a thiol anion (-S-).
[0015] The carbon-carbon double bond formed by vitamin C is electrophilic. The thiol anion acts as a nucleophile, attacking the carbon-carbon double bond and undergoing a Michael addition reaction to form a new carbon-sulfur bond.
[0016] The active groups such as carbon-carbon double bonds in potassium sorbate molecules undergo Michael addition reactions with mercapto-β-cyclodextrin to form new carbon-sulfur bonds, generating a novel non-toxic antioxidant with antioxidant properties.
[0017] Technical effect The present invention discloses a method for preparing a halogen-free ink for lithium battery coating black film. Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant advantages: 1. Highly effective antioxidant: The novel non-toxic antioxidant prepared by this invention contains a variety of active groups, which can effectively capture free radicals generated during ink oxidation, interrupt the oxidation chain reaction, prevent the binder and other components in the ink from oxidizing and deteriorating, and significantly extend the shelf life of the ink.
[0018] 2. Maintains color and performance stability: By inhibiting oxidation, this antioxidant maintains the original color of the ink, ensuring the vibrancy and clarity of the printed pattern. Simultaneously, it ensures the stability of key performance indicators such as the ink's rheological properties and drying properties, thus improving printing quality. Detailed Implementation
