The invention provides a process for preparing a three-dimensional
graphene foam
metal composite material by a biological template method. The preparation method comprises the following steps: preparing through an innovative biological template method process, carrying out
carbonization-activation treatment on a natural
hierarchical porous biological structure serving as a sacrificial template to form a three-dimensional
graphene foam skeleton with bionic hierarchical pore channels, and carrying out in-situ compounding of
copper / silver
metal nanoparticles through a pulse electrodeposition technology to obtain the
composite material. And finally, the three-dimensional
graphene foam
metal composite material with ultrahigh
thermal conductivity and eco-friendly characteristics is constructed. The core breakthrough of the heat-conducting property is as follows: a bionic
heat transfer framework is optimized, graded pores derived from a biological template form a
phonon efficient transfer path, and the axial heat
conductivity is improved by more than 40% compared with that of a material prepared by a traditional chemical foaming method; according to graphene-metal interface cooperation,
metal nanoparticles directionally grow on the edge of a graphene sheet layer and hole wall defect sites, and interface
thermal resistance is reduced to 8.7 * 10 <-9 > m < 2 > K / W by forming a coherent interface; cross-scale
heat flow guide control is achieved, specifically,
phonon conduction with the in-plane heat
conductivity being 1600 W / (m.K) is achieved through a high-
crystallinity graphene domain in a micropore, and an
electron conduction heat
diffusion network is constructed through a metal filling layer in a
macropore channel.
