COMPOSITE MATERIAL OF MAGNETIC MYCELIUM SPHERE LOADED WITH

REDUCED GRAPHENE OXIDE AND PREPARATION METHOD THEREOF Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of biomaterials, and particularly relates to a composite material of magnetic mycelium spheres loaded with reduced graphene oxide and a preparation method thereof. Background

[0002] Graphene oxide is a carbon-based nanomaterial that contains multiple oxygen-containing functional groups, and has a two-dimensional structure similar to that of graphene. Reduced graphene oxide is a product obtained by a reduction reaction of graphene oxide to remove part of the oxygen-containing functional groups, and presents properties different from those of graphene oxide because of different degrees of oxidation and different quantities of the oxygen-containing functional groups. A composite material of graphene-type nanometer materials and iron-based oxides has an adsorbing-enriching property of the graphene-type nanometer materials and a magnetic response property of the magnetic materials in combination with graphene-type nanometer materials because particular iron oxides have magnetism, and has a wide application prospect in fields of chemistry analysis and pollutant removal. However, magnetic particles and the graphene-type materials have nanoscale sizes, which results in high agglomeration, and defects of the difficulty in collection and the poor performance caused by agglomeration in practical application, thus affecting their application. Fungus mycelium is a tube-shaped biomass material in a micrometer scale, and has received extensive attention in the field of nanometer material assembly in recent years, because of the advantages of easy reproduction, low cost, existence of a large quantity of functional groups and easy reaction with active materials. However, currently the general practice of the compositing of most of binary or ternary materials is to use a physical binding method of nanoparticles wound by mycelia, wherein a nanometer powder material is firstly prepared, and then mixed with mycelia to obtain a mixture, and the mixture is cultured to prepare a binary or ternary composite material. Such a method requires to prepare multiple nanometer materials in advance, and the binding between the multi-component nanometer materials and the mycelium is realized mainly by using the narrow spatial domain generated by the winding of mycelia, and has a weak acting force and poor stability.

[0003] The patent CN 201610011889.2 discloses a graphene/mycelium hydrogel loaded with nanoparticles, a preparation method thereof and use of the graphene/mycelium hydrogel in water treatment. The method comprises mixing uniformly the nanoparticles, graphene oxide and fungus mycelia, performing filtering and separation to obtain a formed composite material precursor, and performing a low-temperature hydrothermal process on the obtained precursor to obtain the graphene/mycelium hydrogel loaded with the nanoparticles, wherein a stable functional material is prepared by using a hydrothermal condition. However, in the patent, the nanoparticles are still fixed by a co-culturing mode, and the hydrothermal condition in the later stage 1s merely for stably preparing a composite material structure, and cannot guarantee the evenness of the nanoparticles loaded on the mycelia.

[0004] An object of the present disclosure is to, aiming at the deficiencies of the conventional methods, by utilizing the properties of different loaded materials, provide a composite material of magnetic mycelium spheres loaded with reduced graphene oxide having good structural stability of mycelia, good mechanical property and good performance, which is prepared by preparing a mycelium sphere loaded with even reduced graphene oxide by using a spore of toxigenic aspergillus flavus as a precursor of the mycelia through the co-culturing of a graphene-type nanometer material and a spore liquor of aspergillus flavus, and, on that basis, performing hydrothermal reaction.
