Description

Reusable graphene-based ion selective membrane and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of ion selective membranes, in particular to a recyclable graphene-based ion selective membrane and application thereof.
Background
Renewable, cleanable osmotic energy is increasingly gaining in importance due to its large reserves and availability. It is present in fluids of different salinity gradients and can be readily collected by Reverse Electrodialysis (RED) systems. In the RED system, physiological saline solutions of different concentrations are separated by ion selective membranes. Anions and cations are separated by an ion-selective membrane under a concentration gradient, and gibbs free energy is converted to electrical energy. The maximum energy conversion efficiency of a single cation or anion selective membrane can even reach 50%, showing the advantage of the system in collecting osmotic energy. Ion selective membranes are a core component of RED.
The two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial has the advantages of simplicity, strong expandability and the like, can be used for constructing an ion selective membrane, and is more suitable for large-scale application. By superposition of two-dimensional nanoplatelets, uniform and continuous nanofluidic channels can be easily formed. Graphene Oxide (GO) is a typical two-dimensional nanomaterial that can be easily obtained by mature fabrication techniques. However, the direction of the nanochannels in the layered structure is perpendicular to the desired transmembrane direction, and the twisted ion transport path within the nanochannels is several orders of magnitude longer than the membrane thickness, resulting in a very high membrane internal resistance. In addition, graphene oxide membranes are susceptible to swelling when exposed to aqueous solutions due to the abundance of hydrophilic groups, which can greatly impair the ion selectivity of the membrane. Therefore, many researches are carried out on preparing the graphene oxide film, and the graphene oxide film is prepared by mixing the graphene oxide film with substances such as hydrogel and the like, so that the problem that the graphene oxide film is easily swelled in water is solved. An electrochemical selective membrane for removing heavy metal ions in water, a preparation method and application thereof are disclosed in the patent with the application number of CN201510128904.7, and graphene oxide and hydrogel are mixed to prepare the selective membrane. However, the method can influence the permeability of the graphene oxide film, so that the pore structure in the film is greatly reduced, and the doping of the hydrogel can influence the electrochemical performance of the graphene oxide film, so that the effect of the graphene oxide film in reverse electrodialysis is further influenced. Moreover, in practical applications, all ion selective membranes containing graphene oxide membranes are susceptible to contamination and clogging with large ions. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a graphene-based ion-selective membrane capable of preventing graphene oxide from being easily swelled in water, so that the graphene-based ion-selective membrane can be reused, and the cost of RED is reduced.

Detailed Description
It should be noted that the following detailed description is illustrative and is intended to provide further explanation of the application. 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 described in the background section, graphene oxide films are ideal choices for controlling ion transport due to their layered structure. However, graphene oxide films readily swell in water. Annealing is generally used to improve the stability of the graphene oxide film in water, but the graphene oxide film still swells when used in water or salt solution later, and annealing reduces the carboxyl content and reduces ion selectivity.
Based on this, it is an object of the present invention to provide a reusable graphene-based ion-selective membrane. According to the preparation method, the graphene oxide film is prepared, based on the self-repulsive effect, graphene oxide nano sheets are horizontally arranged into a layered structure in a self-assembly process, and channels between adjacent nano sheets are formed to have specific interlayer spacing. The ion transmission paths are mutually wound in the horizontally stacked nano sheets and are perpendicular to the required flow direction passing through the membrane, and in order to accelerate the transmembrane transfer of ions, the regulation and control of the pore structure are realized through induced flocculation, so that the graphene oxide film with the micropore/mesoporous structure is obtained. The mesoporous structure can effectively shorten the ion transmembrane transport distance, thereby reducing the ion transmembrane transport resistance. Sodium polyacrylate to modify graphene oxide has multiple functions: the method can not only provide carboxylate radicals, but also form flocculation with graphene oxide so as to adjust the pore structure of the graphene oxide film, and can also cooperate with sodium alginate in hydrogel. Then, the invention prepares a permeable hydrogel film, PVA and SA are crosslinked to form hydrogel with a crosslinked network, then the hydrogel is coated on the graphene oxide film in a scraping way, part of the hydrogel enters the interlayer of the graphene oxide, and hydroxyl groups on the hydrogel and hydroxyl groups on the graphene oxide are combined through hydrogen bonds, so that the graphene oxide is not easy to expand due to the combining effect of the hydrogel when the permeable hydrogel film is used in water. The inventor researches show that if only PVA is added into the hydrogel, the hydrogel film cannot be peeled off from the graphene oxide film after the ion-selective film is used in water, and the selectivity and charge density of the ion-selective film can be reduced. A certain amount of SA is added into PVA, and after the PVA is used, the hydrogel film can be peeled off from the graphene oxide film. In addition, the addition amount of SA is also important, too much addition can cause the graphene oxide film to swell, and too little addition can cause the charge density of the ion-selective membrane to be insufficient; after SA is added into the hydrogel, carboxylate contained in the hydrogel can provide a certain charge density, and the carboxylate can cooperate with sodium polyacrylate and a pore structure to improve the ion selectivity and permeability of the ion selective membrane. The hydrogel film can prevent large pollutants such as large ions from entering the graphene oxide film, the hydrogel film can be torn off after the graphene oxide film is used in water or salt solution, PVA and SA are coated on the graphene oxide film in a scraping mode to form hydrogel with a crosslinked network through crosslinking, and a new ion selective membrane is formed, so that repeated use is achieved.
In order to enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand the technical scheme of the present application, the technical scheme of the present application will be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments.

Examples: preparation of graphene oxide-based ion selective membrane with microporous mesoporous structure and capable of being prepared in large area
(1) 0.2 G sodium polyacrylate (PAAS, 99%) was dissolved in 1L deionized water and mixed well to obtain sodium polyacrylate aqueous solution. Dispersing 100 mg graphene oxide in 100 mL deionized water, and performing ultrasonic treatment on 1h to obtain a uniformly mixed graphene oxide aqueous solution.
(2) And (3) fully mixing 32mL of the sodium polyacrylate aqueous solution obtained in the step (1) with 8mL of the graphene oxide aqueous solution, adding 0.1M hydrochloric acid solution to adjust the pH to 3, and standing for 1h to obtain a flocculation-containing GP-F mixed solution. Centrifuging the mixed solution, pouring out the supernatant, then scraping the slurry on cellulose ester membrane filter paper (aperture 200 nm) to form a membrane, putting the membrane into an oven, and drying at 40 ℃ for 1: 1h, thereby ensuring that the water in the membrane slowly escapes. Annealing in an oven at 120℃for 1 hour will give GP-F films.
(3) PVA powder and sodium alginate powder are added into deionized water, the mass fraction of PVA in the solution is 10%, the concentration of sodium alginate is 0.1M, the solution is heated at 90 ℃ for 1h to obtain hydrogel solution, 10mL of hydrogel solution is taken, 250 mu L of glutaraldehyde and 100 mu L of 0.1M hydrochloric acid solution are sequentially added, mixed hydrogel is obtained after stirring for 1h, 2mL of mixed hydrogel is taken to be scraped on one surface of a GP-F membrane, and the ion selective membrane (GPPS membrane) with a micropore/mesopore structure and capable of being prepared in a large area is obtained after drying at room temperature.
Characterization: since graphene oxide films are easily swelled in water, an annealing method is employed to enhance stability. The ionic polymer PAAS is also used to increase the surface charge density and ion selectivity of graphene oxide based membranes. Unlike the usual use of well-dispersed graphene oxide solutions, the pH of the GO/PAAS mixed solution is adjusted and the resulting floccules are used to make membranes. When the pH of the mixed solution is adjusted to 3, the stability of the colloidal solution is deteriorated under acidic conditions, and flocs appear. The flocculated solution was concentrated by centrifugation to a slurry. The slurry can be used for preparing large-area GP-F films by a knife coating method. GPPS was then prepared by knife coating the PVA/SA solution onto GP-F. FIG. 1a is a cross section of a GPPS film wherein a GP-F film having a thickness of 8.5 μm is adhered to a PVA/SA hydrogel film having a thickness of about 7.4. Mu.m. Part of the PVA/SA gel penetrated into the GP-F layer, which is consistent with XPS data (see FIG. 5), and the C/O ratio of the film was reduced after coating the PVA/SA gel layer. In the GPPS film, the carbon-oxygen ratio on the gel side is slightly higher than on the non-gel side. This indicates that PVA/SA penetrated the GP-F film and FI-IR spectroscopy confirmed that hydrogen bonds were formed between the graphene film and the hydrogel. The peak around 1630cm −1 is the characteristic absorption peak of carboxylate. The red shift of the GPPS film compared to the O-H absorption peak of graphene oxide and GP film at 3450 cm −1 suggests that hydrogen bonds are formed between GP-F film and hydrogel (fig. 1 b). Due to the strong hydrogen bond interactions, GO and PVA are tightly bound so that a large area graphene oxide based ion selective membrane can be prepared (fig. 1 c).
Comparative example 1
The difference from the examples is that: and directly carrying out suction filtration on the mixed solution of the sodium polyacrylate aqueous solution and the graphene oxide aqueous solution without adjusting the pH value to flocculation to obtain a compact graphene oxide composite membrane, thereby obtaining the GP membrane.
Comparative example 2
The difference from the examples is that: the surface of the GP-F film is not coated with hydrogel, and the GP-F film is obtained.
The structural difference of the GP-F film prepared in comparative example 2 and the GP film prepared in comparative example 1 was compared: the pore size of GP membranes is less than 5 nm (fig. 2 a) and is relatively concentrated, whereas the pore size of GP-F membranes is widely distributed between 2-20 nm (fig. 2 b). Thus confirming the successful construction of the mesoporous structure in GP-F membranes.
Due to the mesoporous structure, the gel can easily penetrate into the middle layer of the GP-F membrane. Thus, compared to GP-F films, some of the mesopores in the GPPS films prepared in the examples disappeared (fig. 2 c), but still had a microporous and mesoporous structure. The interpenetration gel layer has an important influence on the interlayer spacing and stability of the GPPS film. As shown in FIG. 1d, the interlayer spacing of the GP-F film (dry film) was 0.83 nm, the GPPS film was prepared by doctor blade coating of hydrogel on the GP-F film, the hydrogel was introduced into the GP-F film after doctor blade coating, and the interlayer spacing of the GP-F film (dry film) in the GPPS film was changed to 0.98 nm, indicating that gel molecules were introduced into the interlayer spacing of the GP-F film. The GP-F film swells from 0.83 nm to 1.48 nm after soaking for 6 hours due to the rich hydrophilic groups, indicating that the GP-F film has instability in water. After the hydrogel was scraped, the GPPS film had a GP-F film layer spacing of 0.98 nm and a GP-F film layer spacing of 1.02 nm after 6h of immersion. This suggests that coating PVA hydrogel can effectively inhibit the swelling behaviour of GP-F membrane (fig. 1 d). If the mesoporous structure is not present, the mixed hydrogel prepared in the step (3) of the example is knife coated on the GP film prepared in the step (1) of the comparative example to obtain the ion selective film containing the hydrogel film, and since PVA/SA molecules cannot penetrate into the nanochannels of the GP film, the layer spacing of the GP film after immersing the ion selective film (hydrogel film+gp film) is greatly changed, and as can be seen from fig. 6, the layer spacing of the GP film coated with the mixed hydrogel is 0.77 nm when the GP film is not immersed, and the layer spacing thereof is increased to 1.1 nm after immersing for 6 hours, which indicates that the stability of the GP film in an aqueous solution is poor. From fig. 1e it can be seen that the effect between PVA hydrogel and graphene can make GPPS films more stable than GP-F films. If only PVA gel (no SA added) is coated on the GP-F film, the PVA gel and the GP-F film are tightly adhered together. When ionic SA is mixed with PVA as a hydrogel, some of the binding sites of PVA-GO are replaced by SA-GO. Due to the strong interaction between water molecules and the carboxyl groups of the SA, water molecules can disrupt the interaction between SA and GO. Thus, in the wet state, the presence of SA molecules weakens the strong interaction between PVA and GP-F, and the PVA/SA gel can be peeled off from the GP-F film after prolonged operation (FIG. 1F). In practice, therefore, the gel layer can serve to block potential contaminants and can be substituted to inhibit deterioration of the membrane performance due to contamination and clogging.
Comparative example 3
The difference from the examples is that: in the step (3), no SA powder is added, and only PVA hydrogel is scraped on the surface of the GP-F film to obtain the GP-F/PVA film.
Comparative example 4
The difference from the examples is that: in the step (3), PVA powder is not added, and only SA hydrogel is scraped on the surface of the GP-F film, so that the GP-F/SA film is obtained.
Comparative example 5
The difference from the examples is that: in the step (3), the addition amount of the SA powder was reduced to a concentration of 0.05M. Finally, the GPPS-X film is prepared.
Comparative example 6
(1) Step (1) of the same embodiment.
(2) And (3) fully mixing 32mL of the sodium polyacrylate aqueous solution obtained in the step (1) with 8mL of the graphene oxide aqueous solution to obtain a mixed solution.
(3) PVA powder (13000-23000) and sodium alginate powder (5000000-7000000) are added into the solution (2) to enable the mass fraction of PVA in the solution to be 10% and the concentration of sodium alginate to be 0.1M, the solution is heated at 90 ℃ for 1h to obtain graphene oxide polymer hydrogel solution, 10mL of gel solution is taken and sequentially added, 250 mu L of glutaraldehyde and 100 mu L of 0.1M of hydrochloric acid solution are stirred for 1min to obtain mixed hydrogel, 2mL of gel is scraped on a glass plate, and the mixed hydrogel is dried at room temperature to obtain the GPPS-Y film.
Test example 1: transmembrane ion transport properties.
(1) The potentials of the ion-selective membranes prepared in examples and comparative examples 1 to 6 were measured by using a zeta potentiometer (model: JS94H 2), and the obtained results are shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1
The greater the absolute value of the zeta potential, the higher the charge density of the film, which is advantageous for ion selectivity improvement. As can be seen from table 1, the ion-selective membranes prepared in the examples have the highest potential (absolute value).
(2) A membrane radius of 7.5cm was obtained by dissolving a 0.5M sodium chloride salt solution in 1000ml deionized water with 29.22g NaCl to simulate seawater. 0.01 M sodium chloride salt solution was prepared by dissolving 0.5844g NaCl in 1000ml deionized water to simulate river water.
Ion transport properties and energy conversion tests were measured using an electrochemical workstation (CHI 760E B18569). In the test process, GPPS prepared in the example is adhered on a cellulose ester film (aperture, 200 μm), a test area is controlled by punching a PI film, the area of the hole is adjusted to the required test area, and the size of the hole is the actual test area. The ion-selective membranes prepared in comparative examples 1 to 6 were subjected to the same treatment in this way. The ion selective membranes prepared in examples and comparative examples 1 to 6 were respectively sandwiched between two chambers of a test cell (a replaceable membrane H-type cell CH 2010H-type frosted port cell), the two chambers respectively contained 0.5M saline solution and 0.01M saline solution, the above devices were connected to an electrochemical workstation, and an I-V curve was recorded using cyclic voltammetry, with a scan voltage range of-0.3V to +0.3V, and a step voltage of 0.001V. The redox potential imbalance at the electrolyte interface was eliminated using a saturated potassium chloride bridge and the voltage measured was the diffusion potential (see figure 3 a).
The I-V curve obtained by the GPPS membrane in fig. 3b has the largest area surrounded by the X-axis and the Y-axis, which indicates that the GPPS membrane has the largest output power density, and the X-axis indicates the voltage level, which can indirectly reflect the selectivity of the ionic membrane, and the higher the voltage, the higher the selectivity of the ionic membrane and the better the permeability.
The effect between PVA hydrogel and graphene can make GPPS films more stable than GP-F films. The inverse of the slope of the curve in fig. 3b indicates the resistance, and the resistance of the film decreases but the selectivity of the film decreases after doctor blading the gel. Therefore, the sodium alginate is added to increase the charge density of the surface of the membrane, and the GPPS membrane added with the sodium alginate can reduce the resistance of the membrane and improve the selectivity of the membrane. The sodium alginate, the mesoporous structure and the polyvinyl alcohol have obvious synergistic effect, so that the ion selectivity can be improved, and the resistance of the membrane can be reduced.
(3) After the test, the ion-selective membranes prepared in examples and comparative examples 1 to 6 were taken out, and the permeable hydrogel film was removed. Wherein the graphene oxide thin films in the ion-selective membranes prepared in comparative examples 1,2 and 4 are severely swollen and cannot be reused; the ion-selective membrane prepared in comparative example 3 could not peel off the permeable hydrogel film, nor could it be reused; comparative example 6 is a film prepared by mixing graphene oxide with hydrogel, and the hydrogel cannot be peeled off and reused.
Only the GPPS ion-selective membranes prepared in examples and comparative example 5 can remove the permeable hydrogel film. However, the film of comparative example 5 has poor ion-transport properties with lower ion selectivity and GPPS voltage and zeta potential than GPPS film (see fig. 3b and table 1), and the graphene oxide film is difficult to reuse.
The GPPS membrane prepared in the example was subjected to a long-time test, after which the gel on the membrane surface was peeled off, and then a permeable hydrogel membrane was prepared again on the graphene oxide membrane according to the method of example step (3), to obtain a new ion-selective membrane.
