Description

Preparation method for preparing graphene/porous carbon material by ionic liquid-based Pickering emulsion method
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method for preparing a graphene/porous carbon material by an ionic liquid-based Pickering emulsion method.
Background
Since the 2004, graphene is obtained from highly oriented pyrolytic graphite by a micro mechanical stripping method, the graphene has attracted much attention due to its advantages of good conductivity, high chemical stability, large specific surface area, and the like. The graphene-based nanocomposite combines the inherent excellent characteristics of graphene, and is widely researched to solve the key problems in the fields of energy storage, optical and electronic devices, catalysis and the like. However, the strong van der waals interactions existing between graphene layers may cause severe agglomeration of graphene. In order to solve this problem, researchers have formed a structure that can limit graphene stacking to some extent mainly by compositing two-dimensional graphene with a carbon material. However, the preparation process has the problems of complicated steps, long time consumption, very limited sulfur carrying space when the obtained nano composite material is used for the sulfur positive electrode of the lithium-sulfur battery, and the like.
The method for inhibiting the agglomeration of the graphene by utilizing the special environment of the ionic liquid microemulsion is a simple and effective method. The ionic liquid is an organic salt completely composed of anions and cations, and due to excellent performances of good thermal stability, high conductivity, extremely low vapor pressure, nonflammability, proper polarity, wide electrochemical window and the like, the ionic liquid receives extensive attention, and more researchers use the ionic liquid as a green solvent to replace volatile organic solvents in chemical reactions and material synthesis. In addition, the ionic liquid microemulsion formed by adding the ionic liquid into the microemulsion has the advantages of both the ionic liquid and the microemulsion: excellent chemical stability, good thermal stability, wider polarity and designable ionic liquid structure. In the preparation process of the ionic liquid microemulsion, the surfactant can stabilize the dispersion system, so that the selection of the proper surfactant has important significance for the formation of the ionic liquid microemulsion.
The added graphene oxide can be used as a surfactant of the ionic liquid microemulsion to improve the stability of a dispersion system, and a new unique environment, namely Pickering emulsion, can be constructed to create favorable conditions for the subsequent preparation of graphene/porous carbon. Pickering emulsions refer to emulsions stabilized by solid particles, and pickering emulsions also have several types of conventional emulsions, such as oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions, water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions, and double layer emulsions. Compared with the traditional emulsion, the pickering emulsion has unique advantages: the emulsion can form stable emulsion without (or with a small amount of) emulsifier, is nontoxic and environment-friendly, has advantages in the fields of food, medicine and the like, and has stronger stability because the adsorption of solid particles on an oil-water interface is almost irreversible. In recent years, pickering emulsions have received increasing attention due to their low cost, environmental friendliness, high stability, and the like.

The electrostatic interaction between the negative charges on the surface of the graphene oxide and the cations in the ionic liquid promotes the formation of the pickering emulsion. After the graphene oxide layer is stabilized by the ionic liquid, the dissolved carbon material is polymerized on the other side of the graphene oxide nanosheet layer. The stability of the ionic liquid inhibits the agglomeration of the graphene oxide, and a two-dimensional nanosheet structure is obtained. The prepared composite material is used as an electrode of an energy storage device.
