The invention aims to provide a cellulose-graphene porous composite aerogel.
The invention also aims to provide a preparation method of the cellulose-graphene porous composite aerogel.
The above purpose of the invention is realized by the following technical scheme:
the cellulose-graphene porous composite aerogel comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight:
80-100 parts of cellulose, 0.5-1.5 parts of graphene oxide with the particle size distribution range of 5-20nm and 2-5 parts of reduced graphene with the particle size distribution range of 100-500 nm;
at least a portion of the cellulose and at least a portion of the graphene oxide are intercalated between adjacent lamellar structures of the reduced graphene to form a sandwich structure.
According to the technical scheme, the graphene oxide with small particle size and the reduced graphene with relatively large particle size are introduced into the cellulose aerogel matrix, wherein the number of hydroxyl and carboxyl in the molecular structure of the reduced graphene is relatively small, the number of the groups in the graphene oxide is relatively large, and the conjugated region of the graphene can be influenced by pi-pi accumulation action force, so that the graphene oxide with small particle size is influenced by the pi-pi accumulation action force of the reduced graphene with large particle size to be dispersed among the reduced graphene layers, the hydroxyl on the surface of the cellulose and the hydroxyl and carboxyl on the surface of the graphene oxide form hydrogen bonds, thus a continuous lamellar structure can be constructed by the reduced graphene with large particle size, the adjacent large lamellar reduced graphene is connected by utilizing the interaction between the graphene oxide with small particle size and the cellulose, and a three-dimensional continuous network structure is formed, therefore, the problem of dispersion of the graphene oxide in the matrix is solved by using the graphene oxide and the reduced graphene with different sizes and different properties, and the mechanical property of the product is considered.
Further, the cellulose molecular structure comprises aldehyde functional groups.
Aldehyde functional groups are introduced into a cellulose molecular structure, and the activity of the aldehyde functional groups is utilized to generate aldol condensation reaction with hydroxyl in a system at a certain probability, so that chemical bonding is formed, the cohesive strength of an aerogel product is further improved, and the structural stability of the product is guaranteed.
Further, the graphene oxide is obtained by spray drying of a graphene oxide aqueous solution.
Furthermore, the graphene oxide aqueous solution comprises 0.3-0.5% of glycerol and 0.3-0.5% of ethylene glycol.
According to the technical scheme, the graphene oxide is subjected to spray drying treatment, in the spray drying process, moisture evaporation caused by the mechanical action force of spraying and the instantaneous temperature is received, the graphene lamellar structure is wrinkled to a certain degree, so that the specific surface area of the graphene oxide is improved, and meanwhile, as the surface becomes wrinkled and rough, the fibrous structure of cellulose is more easily intertwined on the surface, so that physical winding is formed, and the mechanical property of an aerogel product is further improved;
and the introduction of glycerol and glycol can adjust the evaporation rate of water molecules in the spray drying process, so that the wrinkle degree of the graphene oxide can be adjusted, and agglomeration caused by overlarge interaction force of small-particle graphene after the specific surface area of the small-particle graphene is excessively increased is avoided.
