Description

Method for preparing graphene/metal composite powder
Technical Field
The application relates to a method for preparing graphene/metal composite powder, belonging to the field of metal-based composite materials.
Background
Graphene is a new carbonaceous material with a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice structure formed by close packing of carbon atoms, can be as thin as a single atom, and has many unprecedented properties, such as ultrahigh room temperature electron mobility (15000 cm)2V · s, 10 times or more the theoretical value of silicon), high thermal conductivity (theoretical value: 4800-5300W/(m.K)), high thermal stability, and high Young's modulus (theoretical value: 1.0Tpa), for molecules (air, argon, helium, etc.) and ions (Cl)-1、Mg2+Etc.) good barrier properties and a low electronic work function, their use in composite materials is becoming increasingly appreciated. The Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) method related to graphene is a method of forming a graphene thin film by catalytic cracking and self-assembly of a gaseous carbon source at a high temperature on a substrate of transition metal (copper, nickel, iron, cobalt, gold, etc.) and alloy (cobalt-nickel, gold-nickel, copper-nickel, nickel-molybdenum, etc.). The CVD method has become the main process for growing and preparing large-area and high-quality graphene, and the growth with copper and nickel as the substrate is the most representative.
However, high-quality graphene grows on the surface of metal powder by a thermal CVD method, and due to the fact that the temperature is too high (about 1000 ℃), copper powder is bonded in the growing process to form a porous copper material, and the heat conduction performance is obviously reduced. In the existing CVD technology, the Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) is a graphene growth technology that uses high-activity plasma as a carbon source, which can realize growth of graphene at low temperature and reduce adhesion of copper powder or nickel powder to a certain extent. However, the PECVD technique has two disadvantages: one is that copper powder particles or nickel powder particles are piled together in the growth process like a thermal CVD method, and good gas-solid contact is difficult to form, so that the method can not realize uniform growth of graphene on the surface of the copper powder or nickel powder; secondly, the plasma has a serious etching effect on the grown graphene, so that the quality of the graphene is poor. The patent application of Tianjin university "a method for preparing graphene/copper composite material by loading solid carbon source on the surface of copper powder by impregnation" (CN 105081312A) is to impregnate solid carbon source PMMA loaded on the surface of flaky copper powder and grow graphene in situ on the surface of copper sheet to prepare graphene/copper powder composite material, however, the method needs to use organic solvent which is not friendly to environment. The patent application of Tianjin university "method for preparing graphene/copper composite material by catalyzing solid carbon source in situ on the surface of copper powder" (CN 104874803A) prepares copper-polymethyl methacrylate powder which is uniformly dispersed by ball milling, and then prepares graphene/copper composite powder by catalytically reducing polymethyl methacrylate into graphene in a tube furnace, however, the graphene grown in the method has defects. Therefore, the research and development of the technology for in-situ growth of high-quality graphene on the surface of the powder are of great significance.

According to the method, the growth of the graphene on the metal powder is mainly completed in the process of cooling. In this regard, control of the cooling rate is an important condition for graphene growth.

Detailed Description
As previously mentioned, the present application relates to a method of preparing a graphene-coated metal powder. According to the method, a hot wire-fluidized bed chemical vapor deposition method is adopted, and carbon-containing free radicals are used as reaction raw materials, so that high-quality graphene coated with metal powder can be prepared. Therefore, the application provides a method for preparing high-quality graphene on powder in situ based on a hot wire-fluidized bed chemical vapor deposition technology and a preparation technology for preparing high-quality graphene on the surface of the powder.
The present inventors have conducted extensive and intensive studies for a long time to coat high-quality graphene on the surface of a powder such as copper powder/nickel powder by using a hot filament-fluidized bed chemical vapor deposition (HF-FBCVD) technique. Specifically, a hot wire-fluidized bed chemical vapor deposition growth technology is adopted, argon, hydrogen and the like are used as fluidizing gas, and the metal powder is in a fluidized state in a fluidized bed by optimizing the flow and pressure of the fluidizing gas; by optimizing the power supply power, current and hot wire structure of the hot wire, the hot wire is utilized to crack methane (2200 ℃) to generate carbon-containing free radicals, the carbon-containing free radicals are conveyed into the fluidized bed through carrier gas, the metal powder is in all-dimensional contact with the high-activity carbon-containing free radicals in a fluidized state, and the graphene is formed on the surface of the metal powder through rearrangement under the catalysis of the metal powder. On this basis, the inventors have completed the present application.
More specifically, the present application employs hot wire-fluidized bed chemical vapor deposition growth techniques. The hot wire (2200 ℃) is utilized to crack a gas phase carbon source to generate high-activity carbon-containing free radicals, and then the high-activity carbon-containing free radicals are sent into a fluidization cavity through a carrier gas to be rearranged on the surface of metal medium powder in the cavity to form graphene. The temperature of the fluidization cavity is controlled below 850 ℃ and is far lower than the melting point of metal, and the difficult problem of metal powder adhesion in the technology of preparing graphene by CVD is effectively solved in a fluidization state. In addition, the metal powder and the high-activity carbon-containing free radicals form all-around contact in a fluidized state, so that the problem of poor gas-solid contact caused by standing and stacking of the metal powder in the traditional CVD method is solved. Therefore, the graphene coating layer with high quality can be uniformly grown on the surface of the metal powder.
The method can effectively overcome the defects of the existing technology for coating the metal powder with the graphene and preparing the metal powder, such as the defects that the metal powder is easy to bond, impurities such as a dispersing agent are easy to mix, the graphene has defects and the like.
Compared with a thermal CVD technology, the method has the advantages that a hot wire technology is adopted to ensure that a gas-phase carbon source is cracked into carbon-containing free radicals by using a hot wire at high temperature, and the metal powder is ensured to react with the carbon-containing free radicals in a fluidized state under the catalytic action of the metal powder, so that good gas-solid contact is formed, and the graphene full coverage on the surface of the metal powder is realized. In addition, compared with a preparation method adopting a gas-phase carbon source in a CVD furnace, the method does not add a dispersing agent in the preparation process, can prepare high-quality and uniformly-dispersed graphene/metal composite powder in a fluidized state, and has higher purity and quality.

Specifically, in fig. 1, a typical characteristic peak of graphene is located at a wave number of 2700cm-1Nearby 2D peak and wave number 1580cm-1Nearby G peak. From the intensity ratio (I) of the 2D peak and the G peak2D/IG) A single layer graphene can be determined to be prepared for 1.6. In addition, no Raman spectrum was observed at a wavenumber of 1350cm-1And the nearby D peak indicates that the prepared graphene has high quality.
