METHOD FOR MAKING WOOD-CONVERTED CARBON FIBER PAPER TECHNICAL FIELD
[01] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of carbon fiber, and in particular to a method for making a wood-converted carbon fiber paper.
BACKGROUNDART
[02] Carbon fiber material has a certain perspectiveness and broad application prospects. The material is usually a kind of new material which exists in the form offiber and has high surface area, excellent corrosion resistance and electric and thermal conductivity. Therefore, researchers have been committed to the study of carbon fiber, and have successfully prepared different carbon fibers using different raw materials and different methods. So far, stable carbon fibers are mainly prepared by forming a fiber form by means of spinning, and then calcinating. Meanwhile, during the preparation of carbon fiber, different precursors for preparation further determine the properties of the carbon fiber. Generally, carbon fibers prepared by polymers are relatively stable; however, polymers are expensive and could pollute the environment. Therefore, it is always a challenging research topic to select a biomass material and control the morphology of the carbon fiber simultaneously.
[03] As one of the four great inventions of ancient China, papermaking has a long history and is a traditional craftsmanship. The papermaking has a certain status and role in the national economy. The obtained paper has the advantages of strong adsorption capacity and controllable flexibility. Meanwhile, an amorphous microstructure of wood could be converted into a microfibrous structure by a papermaking process. Also, the papermaking process is inexpensive and efficient, which has exhibited more superior performance in many applications and has become a mature conventional commercial process. In addition, calcination method is the simplest process for obtaining carbon materials that could convert fibers into carbon fibers simply and efficiently. Due to the advantages such as abundant resources, sufficient and guaranteed output, low cost of raw materials, and energy saving and consumption reduction, wood has important practical significance and application value when selecting wood as a template and efficiently making carbon fiber paper by means of a simple and practical method.
[04] A European patent (EP1009048) discloses a method for making carbon fiber paper for a fuel cell. The carbon fiber paper is mainly made by mixing a graphite structure with a conductive structure and is applied to a fuel cell. This method requires relatively complicated making conditions and has certain application limitations.
[05] A Japanese patent (W02003087470) discloses a method for preparing a fuel cell by combining carbon fibers and porous carbon. This method relates to a combine reaction, which improves the performance of a fuel cell by further hybrid combination. The fuel cell has an excellent performance, but with high cost and uneven mixing. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a cost effective, uniformly-mixed and efficient method.
[06] A Korean patent (KR20140092154) discloses a method for manufacturing carbon fiber paper by precipitating a PAN fibrid, and relates to the field of carbon fibers. The carbon fiber paper formed by precipitating the PAN fibrid has large porosity, and paper strength and improved elastic coefficient. This method has important research significance, and has complex manufacturing conditions, high cost, and poor controllability.
[07] Chinese patent publication No. CN204034427U discloses an activated carbon fiber paper special for a water treatment filter element. This utility model discloses an activated carbon fiber paper special for a water treatment filter element, which is characterized by comprising short activated carbon fiber and a felt made from fiberglass by an air laid technology, wherein the felt has a grammage of 100 10 g/m 2 , and the short activated carbon fiber is adsorbed onto the fiberglass through an adhesive. The activated carbon fiber paper in the utility model has the characteristics of acid resistance, alkali resistance, high temperature resistance, and high strength. The activated carbon fiber paper could not only block suspended matters and solid particles in water, but also could adsorb organic substances and heavy metal ions. The filtering accuracy of the activated carbon fiber paper could reach above 0.5 micron. The activated carbon fiber paper could be widely used in fields such as wastewater treatment and organic waste liquid purification. However, this method is complicated to operate and cost. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a simple making method.
[08] Chinese patent publication No. CN1598141 discloses a carbon fiber paper and a making method thereof. The method comprises the following steps: putting a mixture of a dispersant, a primary binding agent and carbon fiber into water, and beating to obtain a suspension; subjecting the suspension to a papermaking by a conventional wet papermaking process; impregnating the resulting paper in a secondary binding agent solution; subjecting the impregnated carbon paper to a drying and a carbonization. This application has advantages that the preparation process is simple, and the obtained carbon fiber paper has low resistivity and high intensity, which could realize industrialized production This prepared process is simple and the obtained samples could be recycled. However, the breakthroughs of the dispersibility of carbon fibers, the bonding capacity of papers, and the specific surface area remain to be studied further.
[09] Chinese patent publication No. CN102146641A discloses a process for manufacturing modified carbon fiber paper by adopting a carbon nanotube implanting method. This process comprises the following steps: dispersing a prepared or commercial carbon nanotube, uniformly coating the dispersed carbon nanotube onto the surface of a carbon paper prepared by a conventional method using a phenolic resin solution as an adhesive, during which the carbon nanotube is bonded on the carbon paper, and due to a'pinning function', the carbon nanotube will be perpendicular to the surface of the carbon paper attached; subjecting the resulting carbon paper to a carbonization; finally, tightly fixing the carbon nanotube on the surface of the carbon paper by depositing pyrolytic carbon with a chemical gas phase deposition method. According to this application, by this method, carbon nanotubes could be implanted into the surface of the carbon paper in a large area on a large scale. The method not only has the advantages of low cost and simple operation, but also makes it possible to remarkably increase the adhesion of the carbon nanotubes on the surface of the carbon paper, and thus the carbon nanotubes are not easy to strip, and without introducing other unfavorable elements. However, this method involves steps of coating, bonding and re-carbonization, which makes it involve too many uncontrollable factors. Thus, it is necessary to simplify this method.
[10] Chinese patent publication No. CN1598142 discloses a carbon fiber paper and a making method thereof. According to the method, a mixture of a dispersant, a cellulose slurry, and carbon fiber is beaten into a suspension, the suspension is subjected to a papermaking by the conventional wet method papermaking technology; the paper is impregnated in an inorganic catalyst solution and then impregnated in a binding agent solution; the impregnated paper is dried and carbonized. According to this application, the carbon fiber paper has the advantages of low resistivity, high conductivity, high intensity, and its preparation method is simple. This method has advantages of simple operation, short cycle, high synthesis efficiency, excellent repeatability, environmental friendliness, and no environmental pollution, and is applied in the fields of fuel cell catalysts and conductive materials. However, this method has low synthesis efficiency and fair reproducibility, and needs to consider bonding strength and other factors. It is necessary to develope a carbon fiber material that could be prepared by a more simple and direct method.
[11] In summary, attention has been focused on the preparation of carbon fiber paper by subjecting common woody biomass as a precursor to the papermaking technology and calcination process due to simple preparation process, time saving and energy conservation, high efficiency, and easy industrialization. Based on this, the present disclosure provides a method for making wood-converted carbon fiber paper, in which a plurality of common woods are selected as precursors, a kind of wood converted carbon fiber paper is made simply and efficiently after a simple papermaking process and a calcination at different temperatures for different time.
