The carbon material dispersant according to the present invention comprises an amphiphilic hyperbranched polymer. In the context of the present invention, the phrase "carbon material dispersant comprises an amphiphilic hyperbranched polymer" means that the dispersant according to the present invention may contain, in addition to the amphiphilic hyperbranched polymer (i.e. an amphiphilic hyperbranched polymer bearing single-ring, multi-ring, fused-ring or heterocyclic aromatic groups non-covalently associated with the graphene structure), other components that do not adversely affect the performance of the carbon material dispersant, including but not limited to organic solvents, raw materials for preparing the amphiphilic hyperbranched polymer, etc. According to the invention, the amphiphilic hyperbranched polymer refers to a hyperbranched polymer having both hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity, wherein the hyperbranched polymer comprises single-ring, multi-ring or condensed ring aromatic rings which are non-covalently associated with a graphene structure, so that certain hydrophobicity can be given to the hyperbranched polymer, and amino groups present in the skeleton of the hyperbranched polymer can give certain hydrophilicity to the hyperbranched polymer. Thus, the carbon material dispersant according to the present invention can achieve dispersion of the carbon material in water or an organic solvent without an additional surfactant.
As mentioned above, the amphiphilic hyperbranched polymer according to the invention comprises single, multi, fused or heterocyclic aromatic groups non-covalently associated with graphene structures.
