Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of graphene composite materials, and particularly relates to an epoxy-based perylene imide, a preparation method and application thereof, and a water-based graphene dispersion liquid. BACKGROUND

[0002] Graphene is a two-dimensional carbon nanomaterial, and is currently known as a material with the highest carrier mobility. Graphene / metal-based composite material is a composite material in which graphene with excellent electrical conductivity and mechanical properties is used as a reinforcing phase in a metal matrix. In terms of carrier concentration and mobility of the material, graphene and metal (copper, etc.) are two types of obviously different but complementary conductor materials. Therefore, through the compounding of graphene / metal, it is expected to obtain a new material with super-high electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance by means of the compounding effect and synergistic effect.

[0003] Graphene is difficult to be processed by means of dissolution or melting, and is usually configured into a dispersion liquid for use. Common dispersion solvents are organic solvents (N-methyl pyrrolidone, ethylene glycol, etc.) and water. Among them, water as a solvent has the characteristics of green environmental protection and easy removal. Current research and technical development mostly select a surfactant to be added to water, so as to reduce the water surface tension, overcome the van der Waals force between graphene layers, and promote the dispersion of graphene. For example, a surfactant is selected to be one of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS), sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDS), dodecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (DTAC), octadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (NOT), polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), and polyaspartic acid sodium (PASP-Na), and a ball milling method is used for the dispersion of graphene; different types of quaternary ammonium salt surfactants are used as graphene dispersants, graphene is prepared by ultrasonic exfoliation of graphite, and the dispersibility of graphene in an aqueous solution is studied; perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride is used as a raw material, a series of polyethylene polyamines are refluxed in toluene, and formic acid is acidified to obtain a graphene dispersant, which can play a role in stably dispersing graphene in water, but there are problems of large amount of dispersant and low graphene concentration. The excessive amount of dispersant and the low graphene concentration are both unfavorable factors for the construction of a composite material. SUMMARY

[0004] In view of this, the present application aims to provide an epoxy-based perylene imide, a preparation method and application thereof, and a water-based graphene dispersion liquid.

By adjusting the structure of the epoxy perylene imide and its proportion in the aqueous graphene dispersion, graphene exhibits good dispersibility in water, with no agglomeration, stratification, or sedimentation, thus better utilizing the excellent properties of graphene. Furthermore, the preparation process is simple, with high production efficiency and low cost, enabling the development of a large-scale, continuous, and low-cost metal surface coating composite material production process at room temperature. Data from the examples show that the aqueous graphene dispersion prepared by this invention shows no precipitation even after standing for one month, demonstrating extremely high stability.

The amount of this dispersant was 1 / 3 of the mass of graphene powder (XF 001W), resulting in an aqueous graphene dispersion with a solid-liquid concentration of 2 mg / mL.

[0056] The aqueous graphene dispersions prepared in the examples and comparative examples were sprayed onto copper substrates and then heated at 150°C for 5 minutes to obtain metal matrix composites.

[0057] The conductivity of the graphene copper-based composite material obtained in the examples is 105-107% IACS (International Annealed Copper Standard), which is higher than that of single-crystal copper (101% IACS); the conductivity of the graphene aluminum-based composite material obtained in the examples is 62-65% IACS (International Annealed Copper Standard), which is higher than that of pure aluminum (61% IACS).

[0058] As can be seen from the above, the aqueous graphene dispersion based on epoxy perylene imide provided by the present invention is composed of graphene, epoxy perylene imide dispersant and deionized water. Magnetic stirring and ultrasonic treatment make the dispersion uniform. It can be used to form a graphene coating on the surface of metal materials. After being coated onto the surface of metal materials, the epoxy groups undergo cross-linking after heat treatment, which increases the adsorption with the surface of metal materials and forms a metal matrix composite material with excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. This enables the development of a large-scale, continuous and low-cost composite material production process at room temperature.

[0059] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
