Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of nanomaterial preparation, specifically relating to a high-strength and tough graphene fiber and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, high-performance graphene fibers are mainly prepared through wet spinning and subsequent reduction of graphene oxide (GO) liquid crystals. This method typically relies on large-size nematic liquid crystal regions formed in a high-concentration GO dispersion, which align under shear flow, giving the fibers a certain ordered structure. However, this large-crystal structure leads to significant uneven shrinkage during solidification and drying: due to the strong capillary forces between GO sheets and the uneven distribution of internal stress during solvent evaporation, stress concentration easily occurs at the boundaries of the large-crystal regions, causing the fiber cross-section to twist, collapse, or form irregular irregular structures. This structural irregularity introduces stress defects, becoming fracture initiation points under load, severely restricting further improvement of the mechanical properties (such as strength and toughness) of graphene fibers. Therefore, how to effectively control the microstructure of GO liquid crystals and overcome the uneven drying shrinkage caused by large-crystal regions is a key scientific problem and technical challenge in obtaining structurally regular, high-performance graphene fibers. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the problem of uneven drying shrinkage caused by large crystalline regions that is difficult to overcome in existing technologies, this invention proposes a high-strength and tough graphene fiber and its preparation method.
[0004] This invention introduces specific types and concentrations of monovalent metal ions (such as K+) into an aqueous dispersion of graphene oxide (GO). + Na + NH4 + By precisely controlling the ionic strength of the system, the electrostatic repulsion and van der Waals attraction between GO sheets are effectively balanced, thereby breaking down and refining the large-sized liquid crystal regions in the traditional spinning solution into uniformly sized microcrystalline regions. These uniformly distributed microcrystalline structures achieve highly uniform and symmetrical shrinkage during subsequent spinning, coagulation, and drying stages, fundamentally suppressing fiber deformation and structural loosening caused by uneven stress distribution. This ultimately yields high-performance graphene fibers with regular cross-sectional morphology (nearly circular) and a dense internal structure. This structure significantly improves the mechanical properties of the fiber, particularly enhancing tensile strength and toughness.
[0005] One of the technical solutions of this invention is to provide a method for preparing high-strength and tough graphene fibers, comprising the following steps:
[0006] (1) The aqueous dispersion of graphene oxide is mixed evenly with an aqueous solution of a monovalent cation salt to obtain an ion-modified graphene oxide spinning solution; the monovalent cation in the aqueous solution of the monovalent cation salt is K.+ Na + or NH4 + One of them; the concentration of monovalent cations in the ion-modified graphene oxide spinning solution is 0.02 mol / L-0.04 mol / L, and the concentration of graphene oxide in the ion-modified graphene oxide spinning solution is 2 mg / ml to 18 mg / ml; unlike polyvalent metal cations, monovalent cations do not cause cross-linking of graphene oxide sheets because they only carry one charge, and the microstructure of the spinning solution is mainly controlled by changing the ionic strength of the system.
[0007] (2) After the ion-modified graphene oxide spinning solution is filtered through a 1000-10000 mesh filter, it is extruded through the spinning head and then put into a coagulation bath for coagulation and molding to obtain graphene oxide nascent fibers. Then it is drawn onto a roll for collection and naturally dried under infrared lamp irradiation to obtain graphene oxide fibers.
[0008] 3) Reduce graphene oxide fibers to obtain high-strength and high-toughness graphene fibers.
[0009] Furthermore, the concentration of the graphene oxide aqueous dispersion described in step 1 is 4-20 mg / ml.
[0010] Furthermore, the concentration of the monovalent cation salt aqueous solution in step 1 is 0.04-0.2 mol / L.
[0011] Furthermore, in step 2, the coagulation bath is a mixed solution of calcium chloride in ethanol and water, wherein the volume ratio of ethanol to water is 1:2 to 8:1, and the concentration of calcium chloride is 4-6 wt.%.
[0012] Furthermore, in step 2, the diameter of the spinning head is 100-200 μm, the coagulation bath temperature is 20-60 ℃, and the infrared lamp heating temperature is 60-80 ℃.
[0013] Furthermore, the reduction described in step 3 is a reduction bath or thermal reduction, wherein the reduction bath is one or more of hydrazine hydrate, hydrogen iodide, and vitamin C.
[0014] The addition of metal salts increases the ionic strength of the system. According to the DLVO theory of colloid science, the stability of a colloidal system is determined by the relative magnitudes of the van der Waals attraction energy and the electric double-layer repulsion energy between particles. The increased ionic strength effectively compresses the electric double layer around the GO sheets, lowering its electrostatic repulsion barrier, thereby disrupting the mechanical equilibrium of the original dispersed system. This causes the original large-area ordered liquid crystal regions to be unable to be maintained, and under the action of shear force, they are reconstructed into small and uniform microcrystalline regions.
[0015] The monovalent cation salt can be selected from one or more of potassium chloride, sodium chloride, ammonium chloride, potassium sulfate, sodium sulfate, ammonium sulfate, and potassium nitrate. As the concentration of the monovalent cation increases, the size of the liquid crystal region continuously decreases to be comparable to the size of a single sheet of graphene oxide.
[0016] As a conventional method for dispersing and removing impurities, the present invention prepares a graphene oxide (GO) dispersion by first dissolving the graphene oxide raw material in a solvent, then ultrasonically dispersing it to prepare a dilute graphene oxide solution, and then centrifuging the dilute graphene oxide solution at high speed to concentrate and remove impurities, thereby obtaining the graphene oxide dispersion.
[0017] As a conventional method for thoroughly mixing composite spinning solutions, this invention involves magnetically stirring at room temperature for a certain period of time at a rate of 100–700 rpm when mixing the graphene oxide dispersion and the monovalent cation salt aqueous solution.
[0018] The second technical solution of the present invention is to provide a high-strength and high-toughness graphene fiber prepared as described above. The diameter of the graphene fiber is 5-30 μm.
[0019] The advantages of this invention are: by employing an "ion-induced liquid crystal refinement" strategy, it solves the problem of uneven drying shrinkage caused by large crystal regions, which leads to irregular GO fiber structures. The prepared fibers have a more regular cross-sectional shape and a highly dense internal structure, effectively reducing stress defects. The fiber tensile strength can reach 800 MPa, and the toughness can reach 20 MJ / m. 3 . Attached Figure Description
