Description

Method for preparing vertical graphene array by taking foamy copper as catalyst
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of preparation of three-dimensional nano carbon materials, in particular to a method for preparing a vertical graphene array by taking foamy copper as a catalyst.
Background
In the last decade, the research of graphene has seen explosive growth. Graphene is a material composed of carbon atoms and sp 2 Two-dimensional materials with hexagonal honeycomb lattice composed of hybrid orbitals, whose lamellae form delocalized large pi bonds, electrons can move freely within them, thus exhibiting many excellent properties such as high transparency (97.7%), electron conductivity (106S cm) -1 ) Mechanical strength (1.1 TPa), thermal conductivity (5300W m) -1 K -1 ) Structural stability and specific surface area (2600 m) 2 g -1 ) Etc. In view of the unique and excellent properties of graphene, graphene is a candidate material for wide application, and has potential application in various fields such as catalysts, biosensors, composite materials, energy storage devices (lithium ion batteries, lithium sulfur batteries, zinc ion batteries, solar batteries and the like).
However, due to the influence of Van der Waals force, graphene crystal domains are easy to stack in the process of mutually splicing and continuously forming films, so that the specific surface area of graphene is greatly reduced, and the electrical performance of the graphene is reduced. Therefore, three-dimensionalization of graphene is a current major research hotspot. Compared with horizontally stacked graphene, the vertically aligned graphene array can effectively exert excellent performances such as high thermal conductivity, carrier mobility and the like of single graphene sheets. And secondly, the channel between graphene sheets effectively reduces the transmission obstruction of ions, molecules and the like in the vertical direction, shortens the transmission distance, has relatively large specific surface area and rich edges, and enhances the interaction between the graphene sheets and the external environment.
Along with the wide attention of researchers in various fields, the preparation method of the vertical graphene is also endless, such as a silicon carbide pyrolysis method, a 'flattening to straight' method by utilizing the original horizontally stacked graphene, a plasma chemical vapor deposition method and the like. One important advantage of plasma chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) is that the growth temperature of graphene can be significantly reduced and high quality vertical graphene can be produced.The main principle of PECVD for preparing vertical graphene is to bombard carbon source molecules (such as CH) by using high-energy electrons in plasma 4 、C 2 H 2 Etc.), the free carbon active particles are decomposed at a lower temperature, and the carbon active particles can form a flaky graphene structure on the surface of the substrate reaching a certain temperature. Therefore, due to the introduction of the plasma, not only pyrolysis of the carbon source gas by high temperature is avoided, but also the decomposition efficiency of the carbon source gas is greatly improved. The growth of vertical graphene using PECVD, while having the above-described advantages, is generally low in growth rate and difficult in growth control, because small variations in growth parameters may have a significant impact on the quality and structure of the graphene. In addition, vertical graphene grown by PECVD also has a problem in that the bonding with the substrate may be weak.
