Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of graphene oxide material preparation technology, specifically a method for preparing graphene oxide layers with controllable thermal expansion. Background Technology
[0002] Graphene oxide, as an important derivative of graphene, possesses abundant oxygen-containing functional groups, good dispersibility, and excellent physicochemical properties, making it promising for applications in energy storage materials, composite materials, and adsorption materials. Thermal expansion treatment is one of the key methods for controlling the structure and properties of graphene oxide layers. Through thermal expansion, the interlayer distance of graphene oxide can be increased, forming a porous structure, thereby improving its specific surface area and adsorption performance.
[0003] However, existing methods for preparing graphene oxide layers by thermal expansion generally suffer from uncontrollable thermal expansion processes. This manifests primarily as difficulty in precisely controlling the expansion rate and uneven expansion, resulting in disordered pore structures and poor performance stability in the prepared graphene oxide layers. Traditional methods often employ a single heating rate for thermal expansion, which can easily lead to irreversible aggregation or structural damage of the graphene oxide layer due to sudden localized temperature increases. Furthermore, the lack of effective precursor modification methods prevents precise control of the thermal expansion process by adjusting precursor properties. In addition, the post-processing of samples after thermal expansion in existing methods is simplistic and fails to guarantee the stability of the sample structure, further limiting their application in high-end fields.
[0004] Therefore, developing a method that can precisely control the thermal expansion process and produce graphene oxide layers with uniform structure and stable performance has become an urgent technical problem to be solved in the field of graphene oxide material preparation.
[0005] Based on this, a method for preparing graphene oxide layers with controllable thermal expansion was designed. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a method for preparing graphene oxide layers with controllable thermal expansion, which effectively solves the problems mentioned in the background.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for preparing a graphene oxide layer with controllable thermal expansion, comprising the following steps: Step S1: Preparation of modified graphene oxide precursor Add natural flake graphite to concentrated sulfuric acid with a mass fraction of 90%-98%, and stir for 30-60 minutes under ice bath conditions, with the ice bath temperature controlled at 0-5℃. Then, add potassium permanganate in batches, with a mass ratio of potassium permanganate to natural flake graphite of 3:1-5:1, at a feeding rate of 0.5-1 g of potassium permanganate per 10 minutes per gram of graphite. During the feeding process, keep the system temperature below 10℃. After the feeding is completed, raise the temperature to 30-40℃ and stir at a constant temperature for 120-180 minutes. Next, deionized water is slowly added at a volume ratio of 3:1 to 5:1 of concentrated sulfuric acid at a rate of 5-10 mL / min. After the addition is complete, the temperature is raised to 90-95℃ and the reaction is maintained at this temperature for 30-60 min. Finally, 30% hydrogen peroxide is added until no more bubbles are produced in the system. The mixture is then filtered, washed 3-5 times with 5%-10% hydrochloric acid solution, and then washed with deionized water until the pH of the filtrate is 6.5-7.5. The filtrate is then freeze-dried to obtain graphene oxide. The graphene oxide was added to deionized water and ultrasonically dispersed for 30-60 min at an ultrasonic power of 150-200 W to obtain a graphene oxide dispersion with a mass concentration of 0.5-2 mg / mL. An aminosilane coupling agent was added to the dispersion, with a mass ratio of aminosilane coupling agent to graphene oxide of 0.05:1-0.2:1. The mixture was stirred at 50-70℃ for 60-120 min. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was centrifuged, and the precipitate was washed 3-4 times with deionized water and vacuum dried to obtain the modified graphene oxide precursor. Step S2: Preparation of graphene oxide layer preform The modified graphene oxide precursor obtained in step S1 was added to deionized water and ultrasonically dispersed for 20-40 min at an ultrasonic power of 120-180 W to obtain a modified graphene oxide dispersion with a mass concentration of 0.3-1.5 mg / mL. The dispersion was poured onto a filter membrane of a vacuum filtration device with a pore size of 0.22-0.45 μm and vacuum filtered at a vacuum degree of 0.06-0.09 MPa until a uniform graphene oxide membrane was formed on the filter membrane. The graphene oxide membrane and the filter membrane were transferred to a vacuum drying oven and dried at 60-80℃ and a vacuum degree of 0.08-0.1 MPa for 120-180 min. After drying, the filter membrane was peeled off to obtain a graphene oxide layer preform with a thickness of 5-20 μm. Step S3: Gradient heating and controllable thermal expansion treatment The graphene oxide layer preform obtained in step S2 is placed in a tube furnace. Inert gas is first introduced into the tube furnace at a flow rate of 20-50 mL / min for 30-60 min to remove air from the furnace. Then, a gradient temperature increase is carried out. The first temperature increase stage is: from room temperature to 150-200℃, the temperature increase rate is 2-5℃ / min, and the temperature is held for 30-60min. The second heating stage: the temperature is increased from 150-200℃ to 400-500℃ at a rate of 5-10℃ / min, and the temperature is held for 60-90min. The third heating stage: heating from 400-500℃ to 700-850℃ at a rate of 3-6℃ / min, and holding the temperature for 40-80min; During thermal expansion, inert gas is continuously introduced at a flow rate of 20-50 mL / min. Step S4: Post-processing and shaping After thermal expansion, the sample is cooled to room temperature at a rate of 5-8℃ / min and removed. The sample is then immersed in a 1%-3% (w / w) dilute sulfuric acid solution for 20-30 min at a temperature of 25-35℃. After immersion, the sample is washed with deionized water until the pH of the filtrate is 6.8-7.2. The sample is then placed in a vacuum drying oven and dried at 50-70℃ and a vacuum of 0.08-0.1 MPa for 60-90 min to obtain a controllable thermal expansion graphene oxide layer.

[0009] Preferably, the inert gas in step S3 is one or a mixture of two of nitrogen and argon in any proportion.
[0010] Preferably, the filter membrane in step S2 is one of polyvinylidene fluoride filter membrane and mixed cellulose ester filter membrane.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. This invention modifies graphene oxide by using an aminosilane coupling agent, introduces amino functional groups, regulates the interlayer interaction force of graphene oxide, and provides a precursor basis for subsequent controllable thermal expansion, effectively solving the problem of uncontrollable thermal expansion caused by unstable interlayer interaction force in traditional precursors. 2.

This avoids local over-expansion or under-expansion caused by a single heating rate, and ensures uniform expansion of the graphene oxide layer and controllable pore structure. 3. A precise post-processing technique has been added, in which residual impurities and unstable groups are removed by soaking in dilute sulfuric acid, followed by vacuum drying and shaping, which further improves the stability of the graphene oxide layer structure and the consistency of its performance. 4. The method of this invention has clear steps, well-defined process parameters, strong operability, and is suitable for industrial production. The prepared graphene oxide layer has advantages such as uniform structure, controllable pores, and stable performance, and has broad application prospects in energy storage, adsorption, composite materials and other fields.
