Detailed Description
It should be noted that the following detailed description is exemplary and is intended to provide further explanation of the disclosure. Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs.
As introduced in the background section, the prior art for preparing nano-coil by using graphene two-dimensional structure has no related report of regulating structural change according to solvent polarity. Rolling up of graphene oxide sheets through solution-induced self-assembly in dispersions (Bo Tang et al, nanoscale,2018, 10, 4113) although it is disclosed that graphene oxide sheets roll up in graphene oxide solutions to gradually form nanoscrolls as the DMF content increases. However, the nano-coil is not an integrally closed capsule structure but an open similar tubular structure, the nano-coil cannot realize the encapsulation of substances, the application field is limited, and the nano-capsule can realize the research of drug delivery and the like.
Based on this, the object of the present invention is to provide a solvent-induced self-crimping method for preparing hollow graphene capsules. According to the method, the graphene or graphene oxide nano material is ultrasonically oxidized in the aqueous solution to form a nano material solution with a uniformly dispersed water phase, and then a nonpolar solvent is added into the nano material solution to realize the structural regulation and control of the graphene or graphene oxide nano material. After the non-polar organic solvent is added into the graphene-based nanosheets, the graphene-based nanosheets exhibit solvent-induced self-curling properties, and the two-dimensional nanosheets self-curl to form hollow nanocapsules. The nanocapsules are capable of re-unfolding into a two-dimensional nanosheet structure after re-dispersing the aqueous solution.
According to research, the graphene-based nanosheets are subjected to ultrasonic treatment at certain ultrasonic power, frequency, ultrasonic temperature and time to obtain a dispersion liquid with the concentration of 1-2.5 mg/mL; and controlling the size of the graphene-based nanosheets in the graphene-based nanodispersion. Under the premise, the polarity of the solvent is changed, and the dispersion state of the two-dimensional nano material in the solution is further changed, so that the two-dimensional nano structure shrinks to reduce the surface energy, and a self-curling phenomenon is generated to form a hollow nano capsule structure. Therefore, the structural state of the graphene-based nano material is changed by changing the polarity of the solvent, and a brand-new novel structure of the graphene-based hollow nano capsule with a closed structure is synthesized by a solvent-induced self-curling method, so that a structural design basis is provided for further researching the performance of the graphene-based hollow nano capsule.
In order to make the technical solutions of the present application more clearly understood by those skilled in the art, the technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
The test materials used in the examples of the present invention were all conventional in the art and commercially available.
Example 1
(1) Weighing graphene nanosheets, dispersing the graphene nanosheets into deionized water, and uniformly stirring to form nanosheet dispersion liquid of 2 mg/mL. The dispersion was then placed in an ultrasonic cleaner for 6h to form a uniformly dispersed nanoplate dispersion of 200nm size.
(2) Adding absolute ethyl alcohol into the graphene nanosheet dispersion liquid, and adding ethanol to water in a volume ratio of 5. And (3) centrifuging the mixed dispersion liquid at a high speed, collecting the nanocapsules, and dispersing the collected product in absolute ethyl alcohol again. In order to observe the recovery properties of the nanocapsules, the nanocapsules obtained by centrifugation were redispersed in an aqueous solution and observed by transmission electron microscopy after 1 and 12 hours of dispersion in the aqueous solution. After 1h, part of the nanocapsules recover the original two-dimensional sheet structure; and observing after 12h, and recovering all the nanocapsules to the original two-dimensional sheet structure.
(3) Preparing samples of the graphene nanocapsules dispersed in the organic solution and the recovered nanocapsules, and feeding the prepared samples into a transmission electron microscope for observation.

And as shown in cd of fig. 3, after the nanocapsule is redispersed in the aqueous solution, the original two-dimensional spreading form can be restored, and therefore the form regulation is reversible.
Example 2
1) Weighing graphene oxide nanosheets, dispersing the graphene oxide nanosheets into deionized water, and uniformly stirring to form 1mg/mL nanosheet dispersion liquid. And then placing the dispersion liquid into an ultrasonic cleaning machine for ultrasonic treatment for 8 hours to form the uniformly dispersed nano-sheet dispersion liquid with the size of 150 nm.
(2) Adding acetone into the graphene oxide nanosheet dispersion liquid, wherein the proportion of acetone to water is 8. And (4) centrifuging the mixed dispersion liquid at a high speed, collecting the nanocapsules, and re-dispersing the collected product in acetone. In order to observe the recovery properties of the nanocapsules, the nanocapsules obtained by centrifugation were redispersed in an aqueous solution and observed by transmission electron microscopy after 1 and 12 hours of dispersion in the aqueous solution. After 1h, most of the nanocapsules recover the original two-dimensional sheet structure; and observing after 12h, and recovering all the nanocapsules to the original two-dimensional sheet structure.
(3) Preparing samples of the graphene oxide nanocapsules dispersed in the acetone solution and the recovered nanocapsules, and feeding the prepared samples into a transmission electron microscope for observation.
Under the above conditions, the two-dimensional graphene oxide-based nanosheet material shown in fig. 1a is synthesized into the hollow nanocapsule by using the two-dimensional graphene oxide-based nanomaterial through a solvent induction method, and as a result, the synthesized hollow nanocapsule has a uniform size and presents a multi-layer wrapped and curled hollow capsule structure as shown in fig. 2 ab. And as shown in fig. 3ab, after the nanocapsules are redispersed in the aqueous solution, the original two-dimensional spreading form can be recovered, so that the form regulation is reversible.
Comparative example 1
The difference from example 1 is that: the ultrasonic temperature is 50 ℃, and the ultrasonic time is 12h, so that the uniformly dispersed nanosheet dispersion with the size of 50nm is formed.

Comparative example 2
