In order to more clearly clarify the technical idea of the present invention, the fine bubbles according to the present invention are further explained below. The type of the bubbles is defined according to the bubble particle size in the international standard of Micro bubbles ISO 20480-1:2017, wherein the bubbles with the particle size smaller than 100 μm are Micro bubbles (Fine bubbles), the bubbles with the particle size between 1 and 100 μm are Micro bubbles (Micro bubbles), and the bubbles with the particle size smaller than 1 μm are ultra Micro bubbles (ultra bubbles). The term "fine bubbles" in the present invention is consistent with this standard, and means bubbles having a bubble size of less than 100. Mu.m. In the present invention, the characteristic that the smaller the diameter of fine bubbles is, the longer the time of existence in water is, the more stable the present invention is. More preferably, the fine bubbles in the conductive paste of the present invention are ultrafine bubbles having a particle diameter of less than 1 μm. The test for bubble particle size can be performed using either a malvern Nanosight NS500 or IZON qNano nm particle size analysis device. The particle diameter value of the fine bubbles or the ultra fine bubbles in the present invention means the particle diameter value of D50 (D50 is the particle diameter at which the cumulative distribution of particles is 50%, also called median diameter or median diameter).
At present, the technology of generating micro-bubbles in liquid is mature, and the gas-liquid dispersion method adopted by the micro-bubble generating device mainly comprises the following steps according to the generation principle of micro-bubbles:
(1) Pressurizing and dissolving gas and releasing gas method: the gas is forced to dissolve in the liquid by pressurization to form a supersaturated state, and then the depressurized gas is released again to generate a large number of microbubbles, the size and strength of which depend on various conditions in releasing air and the surface tension of water.
(2) The air-floating pump air-producing method comprises the following steps: the impeller component is directly adopted to directly disperse air to generate micro bubbles, or the pressure dissolved air and the impeller are combined to disperse air, and three processes of gas-liquid mixing, pressurizing dissolved air and depressurizing released air are simultaneously realized in one pump, so that the bubble generation efficiency is improved.
(3) High-speed rotary cutting method: the gas-liquid two-phase enters the hollow part of the device to rotate, the specific gravity difference enables the gas to form a negative pressure gas shaft on the central shaft, the gas of the negative pressure gas shaft is cut off to become micro bubbles when passing through a gap between the external liquid and the internal high-speed rotating liquid, a large number of micro bubbles can be rapidly generated, and the uniformity of the bubble concentration is better.
(3) Jet aeration method: micro-bubbles are generated mainly through a jet aerator. The jet aerator has small nozzle diameter and high flow speed, and the liquid flow can form partial vacuum after entering the air chamber. At this time, the gas may enter the gas chamber through the gas suction pipe, be mixed with the liquid, and then form fine bubbles in the liquid after passing through the mixing pipe and the diffusion pipe.
(4) Microporous dispersed gas process: when compressed gas passes through a micropore medium, the gas is cut into tiny bubbles by micropores, the mode is relatively simple, the smaller the pore diameter of the micropore medium is, the narrower the distribution is, and the smaller and more concentrated the particle size of the formed bubbles are.
(5) Ultrasonic cavitation method: the liquid generates negative pressure through ultrasonic cavitation, gas originally dissolved in the liquid is released in the form of micro bubbles, and the control of bubble collapse can be realized, so that the method has a good prospect in the application aspect of precise bubble control.
(6) Mechanical shearing method: the gas is typically entrained into the swirling water flow by a pump, and the swirling is then broken down to crush the bubbles, which are then discharged through an outlet nozzle as fine bubbles.
(7) Electrolytic method: the main principle is that tiny bubbles are generated on the positive and negative plates by utilizing the mode of electrolyzing water by the electrodes. The micro-bubbles generated by the method have the advantages of diameter of 20-60 mu m, better size controllability, larger energy consumption, smaller bubble yield and the like.
The microbubble generation device of the prior art generally uses one or more microbubble generation methods, and can obtain a gas-liquid mixed fluid containing microbubbles with a particle size ranging from 10nm to 100 μm.

The gas-liquid mixed fluid in the step S101 is generated by adopting a micro-bubble generating device of a gas-floating pump gas generating method, namely, air and water are fully mixed by the gas-floating pump, and then are connected with an aeration device after pressurization and pressure release processes, the particle size range of micro-bubbles in the obtained gas-liquid mixed fluid is 10nm to 1 mu m, and the bubble concentration is in the order range of 10 6~109/ml. The bubbles are small in particle size, and belong to ultrafine bubbles and can be also called ultrafine bubble water. Adding deionized water into graphene conductive paste purchased in the market to prepare graphene conductive paste with the same mass content, and marking as a sample B. Samples a and B were placed in an ultrasonic apparatus and subjected to the same ultrasonic dispersion treatment, and then placed together for 6 months, as shown in fig. 8. As can be seen from the figure, the graphene conductive paste (sample a) obtained by the method of the present invention is still uniformly dispersed without obvious precipitation delamination, while the comparative sample (sample B) shows obvious delamination.
The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the invention is not intended to limit the scope of the invention, but rather to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
