Description

本発明は、酸化グラフェンを還元して得られる還元グラフェンの製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a method for producing reduced graphene obtained by reducing graphene oxide.

グラフェンは炭素原子からなる二次元結晶であり、2004年に発見されて以来非常に注目されている素材である。グラフェンは優れた電気、熱、光学、及び機械特性を有し、電池材料、エネルギー貯蔵材料、電子デバイス,複合材料などの領域で幅広い応用が期待されている。   Graphene is a two-dimensional crystal composed of carbon atoms and is a material that has received much attention since it was discovered in 2004. Graphene has excellent electrical, thermal, optical, and mechanical properties, and is expected to be widely applied in areas such as battery materials, energy storage materials, electronic devices, and composite materials.

このようなグラフェンの応用を実現するためには、低コスト化のための作製法の効率化、及び分散性の改善が必須の課題となる。   In order to realize the application of such graphene, it is essential to improve the efficiency of the manufacturing method for reducing the cost and improve the dispersibility.

グラフェンの製造法としては、機械剥離法、CVD(Chemical Vapor Deposition)法、CEG(Crystal Epitaxial Growth)法などが挙げられるが、これらの手法は生産性が低く、大量生産には適さない。これに対し、酸化還元法(天然黒鉛の酸化処理で酸化黒鉛または酸化グラフェンを得た後、還元反応によりグラフェンを作製する方法)はグラフェンの大量合成が可能であり、グラフェンを実用化するのに非常に重要な手法である。   Examples of the method for producing graphene include a mechanical peeling method, a CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) method, and a CEG (Crystal Epitaxy Growth) method, but these methods are low in productivity and are not suitable for mass production. On the other hand, the oxidation-reduction method (a method of producing graphene by a reduction reaction after obtaining graphite oxide or graphene oxide by oxidation treatment of natural graphite) enables mass synthesis of graphene, which is useful for putting graphene into practical use. This is a very important technique.

このようにして得られたグラフェンは、高い導電性能を持つ上に、薄片状の構造を持つため導電パスを多くすることができ、特に電池用の導電材料として高いポテンシャルを持つ。しかし、グラフェンはナノカーボンであるため凝集しやすく、単に酸化還元法でグラフェンを作製しても適度に分散することができずポテンシャルを発揮することができていなかった。   The graphene obtained in this manner has a high conductive performance and also has a flake-like structure, so that the number of conductive paths can be increased. In particular, it has a high potential as a conductive material for a battery. However, since graphene is a nanocarbon, it easily aggregates, and even if graphene is simply produced by the oxidation-reduction method, it cannot be appropriately dispersed and cannot exert its potential.

そこで、特許文献1では酸化黒鉛を加熱により膨張剥離させることで比表面積の高い薄片型の黒鉛を作製している。特許文献2では酸化グラフェンとリチウムイオン電池用電極活物質を混合した後に加熱することにより還元し、導電剤として活用している。特許文献3ではカテコールの存在下、グラフェンを還元することにより分散性の高いグラフェンを作製している。特許文献4ではグラフェンを二酸化炭素中で加圧して超臨界流体処理を行う手法が開示されている。   Therefore, in Patent Document 1, flaky graphite having a high specific surface area is produced by expanding and peeling graphite oxide by heating. In patent document 2, it reduces by heating after mixing a graphene oxide and the electrode active material for lithium ion batteries, and is utilizing as a electrically conductive agent. In Patent Document 3, graphene having high dispersibility is produced by reducing graphene in the presence of catechol. Patent Document 4 discloses a technique for performing supercritical fluid processing by pressurizing graphene in carbon dioxide.

特許文献1のように、加熱膨張により作製したグラフェンは高い比表面積が得られるが、高温加熱により溶媒が揮発した状態で作製するため、溶剤中への分散が困難になる。また、加熱還元では十分な導電性を得ることができない。   Although the graphene produced by thermal expansion as in Patent Document 1 has a high specific surface area, it is produced in a state where the solvent is volatilized by heating at a high temperature, so that dispersion in the solvent becomes difficult. Moreover, sufficient electroconductivity cannot be obtained by heat reduction.

特許文献2のように酸化グラフェンを他の粒子と混ぜて加熱する手法においても、特許文献1の場合と同様、加熱処理によりグラフェンを得ているため十分な導電性が得られない。また、粒子と混合する用途に適用が限定される。   Even in the method of mixing graphene oxide with other particles and heating as in Patent Document 2, as in Patent Document 1, sufficient conductivity cannot be obtained because graphene is obtained by heat treatment. Moreover, application is limited to the use which mixes with particle | grains.

また、特許文献3のように表面処理剤を使用すると、分散性は良くなるものの、表面処理剤の影響で抵抗が低下する課題があった。   Moreover, when a surface treatment agent is used like patent document 3, although the dispersibility became good, there existed a subject that resistance fell under the influence of a surface treatment agent.

特許文献4ではグラフェンを超臨界流体中で処理しているものの、グラフェンを剥離させるのに十分な力を与えることができず、剥離度に問題があり、分散性が不十分であった。   In Patent Document 4, although graphene is processed in a supercritical fluid, a sufficient force cannot be applied to exfoliate graphene, there is a problem in exfoliation degree, and dispersibility is insufficient.

本発明は、高導電性と高分散性を兼ね備えたグラフェンを作製することを課題とする。   An object of the present invention is to produce graphene having both high conductivity and high dispersibility.

本発明者らは鋭意検討した結果、高せん断力をかけながら、酸化グラフェンを還元する手法により、高導電性と高分散性を兼ね備えた還元グラフェンを作製できることを見出した。すなわち、本発明は、酸化グラフェンを還元剤により還元する還元グラフェンの製造方法であって、酸化グラフェン分散液と、酸化グラフェンを還元しうる還元剤を含有する還元剤液とをそれぞれ別の流路から送液し、合流点における圧力が0.3MPa以上500MPa以下となるよう合流させる工程を有する還元グラフェンの製造方法である。   As a result of intensive studies, the present inventors have found that reduced graphene having both high conductivity and high dispersibility can be produced by a technique of reducing graphene oxide while applying a high shearing force. That is, the present invention is a method for producing reduced graphene in which graphene oxide is reduced with a reducing agent, wherein the graphene oxide dispersion liquid and the reducing agent liquid containing a reducing agent capable of reducing graphene oxide are provided in different flow paths. The reduced graphene production method has a step of feeding the solution so that the pressure at the joining point is 0.3 MPa or more and 500 MPa or less.

本発明の還元グラフェンの製造方法は、酸化グラフェン分散液と還元剤液とを、高いせん断力をかけながら混合することにより、グラフェンの剥離状態を維持しながら還元することが可能である。この手法により、高導電性と高分散性を兼ね備えた還元グラフェンを作製することが可能である。このようにして作製した還元グラフェンは、リチウムイオン電池用電極に適用することで優れた放電特性が得られる。また、樹脂と混合することにより高い導電性をもつ樹脂を得られる。   In the method for producing reduced graphene of the present invention, the graphene oxide dispersion liquid and the reducing agent liquid can be mixed while applying a high shearing force to reduce the graphene while maintaining the exfoliated state of the graphene. By this technique, reduced graphene having both high conductivity and high dispersibility can be produced. The reduced graphene produced in this way can provide excellent discharge characteristics when applied to an electrode for a lithium ion battery. Moreover, resin with high electroconductivity can be obtained by mixing with resin.

グラフェンとは、狭義には1原子の厚さのsp結合炭素原子のシート(単層グラフェン)を指すが、本明細書においては、単層グラフェンが積層した薄片状の形態を持つものも含めてグラフェンと呼ぶ。酸化グラフェンも同様に、積層した薄片状の形態を持つものも含めた呼称とする。 Graphene refers to a sheet (single-layer graphene) of sp 2 -bonded carbon atoms having a thickness of 1 atom in a narrow sense. However, in this specification, a sheet having a flaky shape in which single-layer graphene is stacked is included. Called graphene. Similarly, graphene oxide is also referred to as having a laminated flake shape.

また、本明細書において、「還元グラフェン」とは酸化グラフェンを還元して得られるグラフェンであって、還元処理前に対して、X線光電子分光分析(XPS)によって測定された酸素原子の炭素原子に対する元素割合(酸化度)が低下しているもの全般を意味する相対的な概念である。典型的には、酸化度が0.4を超えるものが酸化グラフェン、0.4以下のものが還元グラフェンと呼称されるが、本発明においては特に限定されるものではない。また、酸化グラフェンと還元グラフェンを総称して単に「グラフェン」という場合がある。   In this specification, “reduced graphene” is graphene obtained by reducing graphene oxide, and is a carbon atom of an oxygen atom measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) before reduction treatment. It is a relative concept which means the whole thing in which the element ratio (oxidation degree) with respect to is decreasing. Typically, those having an oxidation degree exceeding 0.4 are referred to as graphene oxide, and those having a degree of oxidation of 0.4 or less are referred to as reduced graphene. However, the present invention is not particularly limited. In addition, graphene oxide and reduced graphene may be collectively referred to simply as “graphene”.

[酸化グラフェン分散液]
酸化グラフェンの作製法に特に限定は無く、ハマーズ法等の公知の方法を使用できる。また市販の酸化グラフェンを購入してもよい。酸化グラフェンの作製方法として、ハマーズ法を用いる場合を以下に例示する。
[Graphene oxide dispersion]
There is no particular limitation on the method for producing graphene oxide, and a known method such as a Hammers method can be used. Commercially available graphene oxide may be purchased. An example of using a Hammers method as a method for manufacturing graphene oxide is described below.

黒鉛(石墨粉)と硝酸ナトリウムを濃硫酸中に入れて攪拌しながら、過マンガン酸カリウムを温度が上がらないように徐々に添加し、25〜50℃下、0.2〜5時間攪拌反応する。その後イオン交換水を加えて希釈して懸濁液とし、80〜100℃で5〜50分間反応する。最後に過酸化水素と脱イオン水を加え1〜30分間反応して、酸化グラフェン分散液を得る。得られた酸化グラフェン分散液を濾過、洗浄し、酸化グラフェン水分散ゲルを得る。この酸化グラフェン水分散ゲルを希釈して酸化グラフェン水分散液が得られる。酸化グラフェン水分散液を得る際、酸化グラフェンを乾燥させる工程を経ないことが好ましい。   While adding graphite (graphite powder) and sodium nitrate in concentrated sulfuric acid and stirring, gradually add potassium permanganate so that the temperature does not rise and react at 25 to 50 ° C. for 0.2 to 5 hours with stirring. . Thereafter, ion-exchanged water is added for dilution to form a suspension, which is reacted at 80 to 100 ° C. for 5 to 50 minutes. Finally, hydrogen peroxide and deionized water are added and reacted for 1 to 30 minutes to obtain a graphene oxide dispersion. The obtained graphene oxide dispersion is filtered and washed to obtain a graphene oxide aqueous dispersion gel. This graphene oxide aqueous dispersion gel is diluted to obtain a graphene oxide aqueous dispersion. When obtaining the graphene oxide aqueous dispersion, it is preferable not to go through a step of drying the graphene oxide.

酸化グラフェンの原料となる黒鉛は、人造黒鉛・天然黒鉛のどちらでも良いが、天然黒鉛が好ましく用いられる。原料とする黒鉛のメッシュ数は20000以下が好ましく、5000以下がさらに好ましい。   The graphite used as the raw material for graphene oxide may be either artificial graphite or natural graphite, but natural graphite is preferably used. The number of meshes of graphite used as a raw material is preferably 20000 or less, and more preferably 5000 or less.

各反応物の割合は、一例として、黒鉛10gに対し、濃硫酸を150〜300ml、硝酸ナトリウムを2〜8g、過マンガン酸カリウムを10〜40g、過酸化水素を40〜80gである。硝酸ナトリウムと過マンガン酸カリウムを加える時は、氷浴を利用して温度を制御する。過酸化水素と脱イオン水を加える時、脱イオン水の質量は過酸化水素質量の10〜20倍である。濃硫酸は、質量含有量が70%以上のものを利用することが好ましく、97%以上のものを利用することがさらに好ましい。   As an example, the ratio of each reactant is 150 to 300 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid, 2 to 8 g of sodium nitrate, 10 to 40 g of potassium permanganate, and 40 to 80 g of hydrogen peroxide with respect to 10 g of graphite. When adding sodium nitrate and potassium permanganate, use an ice bath to control the temperature. When adding hydrogen peroxide and deionized water, the mass of deionized water is 10 to 20 times the mass of hydrogen peroxide. Concentrated sulfuric acid preferably has a mass content of 70% or more, more preferably 97% or more.

酸化グラフェンは高い分散性を有するが、酸化グラフェン自体は絶縁性で導電剤等に用いることはできない。酸化グラフェンの酸化度が高すぎると、還元して得られるグラフェン粉末の導電性が悪くなる場合があるため、酸化グラフェンにおけるX線光電子分光法によって測定される酸素原子に対する炭素原子の割合は0.5以下であることが好ましい。酸化グラフェンをX線光電子分光法測定する際には充分溶剤を乾燥させた状態で行う。   Although graphene oxide has high dispersibility, graphene oxide itself is insulative and cannot be used as a conductive agent. When the degree of oxidation of graphene oxide is too high, the conductivity of the graphene powder obtained by reduction may deteriorate. Therefore, the ratio of carbon atoms to oxygen atoms measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy in graphene oxide is 0. 5 or less is preferable. When graphene oxide is measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, it is performed in a state where the solvent is sufficiently dried.

また、内部まで黒鉛が酸化されていないと還元したときに薄片状のグラフェン粉末が得られにくい。そのため、酸化グラフェンは、乾燥した酸化グラフェン粉末のエックス線回折測定をしたときにグラファイト構造特有のピークが検出されないことが望ましい。   Further, when the graphite is not oxidized to the inside, it is difficult to obtain a flaky graphene powder when reduced. Therefore, it is desirable that the graphene oxide does not detect a peak specific to the graphite structure when X-ray diffraction measurement is performed on the dried graphene oxide powder.

酸化グラフェンの酸化度は、黒鉛の酸化反応に用いる酸化剤の量を変化させることで調整することができる。具体的には、酸化反応の際に用いる、黒鉛に対する硝酸ナトリウム及び過マンガン酸カリウムの量が多いほど高い酸化度になり、少ないほど低い酸化度になる。黒鉛に対する硝酸ナトリウムの重量比は特に限定されるものではないが、0.20以上0.80以下であることが好ましく、0.25以上0.50以下であることがさらに好ましく、0.275以上0.425以下であることが特に好ましい。黒鉛に対する過マンガン酸カリウムの比は特に限定されるものではないが、1.0以上であることが好ましく、1.4以上であることがさらに好ましく、1.65以上であることが特に好ましい。また、同様に4.0以下であることが好ましく、3.0以下であることがさらに好ましく、2.55以下であることが特に好ましい。   The degree of oxidation of graphene oxide can be adjusted by changing the amount of oxidizing agent used for the oxidation reaction of graphite. Specifically, the higher the amount of sodium nitrate and potassium permanganate used in the oxidation reaction, the higher the degree of oxidation, and the lower the amount, the lower the degree of oxidation. The weight ratio of sodium nitrate to graphite is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.20 or more and 0.80 or less, more preferably 0.25 or more and 0.50 or less, and 0.275 or more. It is especially preferable that it is 0.425 or less. The ratio of potassium permanganate to graphite is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1.0 or more, more preferably 1.4 or more, and particularly preferably 1.65 or more. Similarly, it is preferably 4.0 or less, more preferably 3.0 or less, and particularly preferably 2.55 or less.

酸化グラフェンは上記の例で示した手法では水分散液として作製される。水分散液から他の溶媒に置換する手法としては、水分散液に水以外の溶媒を加えて攪拌した後に、ろ過又は遠心分離機により濃縮する工程を繰り返すことで溶媒を置換することができる。   Graphene oxide is produced as an aqueous dispersion by the method shown in the above example. As a method for replacing the aqueous dispersion with another solvent, the solvent can be replaced by adding a solvent other than water to the aqueous dispersion and stirring, and then repeating a step of concentration by filtration or a centrifuge.

酸化グラフェン分散液の溶媒は水を含むことが好ましいが、酸化グラフェンが十分分散できる溶媒であれば他の溶媒であっても良く、混合溶媒であっても良い。複数の溶媒を使用する場合には相分離せずに相溶する溶媒であることが好ましい。酸化グラフェンを十分分散できる溶媒としては、N−メチルピロリドン、γ−ブチロラクトン、ジメチルアセトアミド、ジメチルスルホキシドなどが挙げられる。酸化グラフェン分散液の溶媒は、混合する還元剤液と相溶するものを用いることが好ましく、同一の溶媒であることが更に好ましい。還元剤液として水溶液を用いる場合には酸化グラフェン分散液は水分散液を用いることが好ましい。   The solvent of the graphene oxide dispersion preferably contains water, but may be another solvent or a mixed solvent as long as the graphene oxide can be sufficiently dispersed. In the case of using a plurality of solvents, a solvent that is compatible without phase separation is preferred. Examples of the solvent that can sufficiently disperse graphene oxide include N-methylpyrrolidone, γ-butyrolactone, dimethylacetamide, dimethylsulfoxide, and the like. As the solvent for the graphene oxide dispersion, it is preferable to use a solvent compatible with the reducing agent solution to be mixed, and it is more preferable that the solvent is the same. When an aqueous solution is used as the reducing agent solution, it is preferable to use an aqueous dispersion as the graphene oxide dispersion.

[還元剤液]
酸化グラフェンを還元しうる還元剤を含有する還元剤液は、還元剤が溶媒に溶けた還元剤液であってもよいし、還元剤自体が液体であるものであっても良い。還元剤としては、有機還元剤、無機還元剤が挙げられるが、還元後の洗浄の容易さから無機還元剤が好ましい。
[Reducing agent solution]
The reducing agent solution containing a reducing agent capable of reducing graphene oxide may be a reducing agent solution in which the reducing agent is dissolved in a solvent, or the reducing agent itself may be a liquid. Examples of the reducing agent include an organic reducing agent and an inorganic reducing agent, but an inorganic reducing agent is preferable because of easy cleaning after reduction.

有機還元剤としてはアルデヒド系還元剤、ヒドラジン誘導体還元剤、アルコール系還元剤が挙げられ、中でもアルコール系還元剤は比較的穏やかに還元することができるため、特に好適である。アルコール系還元剤としては、メタノール、エタノール、プロパノール、イソプロピルアルコール、ブタノール、ベンジルアルコール、フェノール、エタノールアミン、エチレングリコール、プロピレングリコール、ジエチレングリコール、などが挙げられる。中でも比較的沸点が高いブタノール、ベンジルアルコール、エタノールアミン、エチレングリコール、プロピレングリコール、ジエチレングリコールが好ましい。   Examples of the organic reducing agent include aldehyde-based reducing agents, hydrazine derivative reducing agents, and alcohol-based reducing agents. Among them, alcohol-based reducing agents are particularly suitable because they can be reduced relatively gently. Examples of the alcohol-based reducing agent include methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropyl alcohol, butanol, benzyl alcohol, phenol, ethanolamine, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, diethylene glycol, and the like. Of these, butanol, benzyl alcohol, ethanolamine, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol and diethylene glycol having a relatively high boiling point are preferred.

無機還元剤としては亜ジチオン酸ナトリウム、亜ジチオン酸カリウム、亜リン酸、水素化ホウ素ナトリウム、ヒドラジンなどが挙げられる。無機還元剤は、溶媒に溶解して還元剤液として用いられるが、無機還元剤の還元力が発現しやすい点で、水溶液とすることが好ましい。   Examples of the inorganic reducing agent include sodium dithionite, potassium dithionite, phosphorous acid, sodium borohydride, hydrazine and the like. The inorganic reducing agent is dissolved in a solvent and used as a reducing agent liquid. However, an aqueous solution is preferable because the reducing power of the inorganic reducing agent is easily exhibited.

還元剤としては、酸化グラフェンの還元が急速に行える還元力をもつものが好ましく、この観点から、亜ジチオン酸ナトリウム、亜ジチオン酸カリウム、水素化ホウ素ナトリウム、ヒドラジンが好ましく、亜ジチオン酸ナトリウム、亜ジチオン酸カリウムが特に好ましい。また、これらを水溶液として還元剤液とすることが特に好ましい。   As the reducing agent, those having a reducing power capable of rapidly reducing graphene oxide are preferable. From this viewpoint, sodium dithionite, potassium dithionite, sodium borohydride, and hydrazine are preferable, sodium dithionite, Potassium dithionate is particularly preferred. Further, it is particularly preferable to use these as an aqueous solution as a reducing agent solution.

酸化グラフェン分散液と還元剤液の組み合わせとしては、酸化グラフェンの水分散液と上記の無機還元剤の水溶液との組み合わせが最も好ましい。   As a combination of the graphene oxide dispersion and the reducing agent liquid, a combination of an aqueous dispersion of graphene oxide and an aqueous solution of the above inorganic reducing agent is most preferable.

[合流させる工程]
本発明の還元グラフェンの製造方法は、上記の酸化グラフェン分散液と還元剤液とをそれぞれ別の流路から送液し、合流点における圧力が0.3MPa以上500MPa以下となるよう合流させる工程を有する。この工程により、酸化グラフェンと還元剤とが混合され、酸化グラフェンが還元される。
[Merge process]
The method for producing reduced graphene of the present invention includes a step of feeding the graphene oxide dispersion and the reducing agent solution from different flow paths, and joining them so that the pressure at the joining point is 0.3 MPa or more and 500 MPa or less. Have. Through this step, graphene oxide and a reducing agent are mixed and graphene oxide is reduced.

合流時に十分なせん断力を与えるために高圧で合流させる必要がある一方、圧力が高すぎると液体中の圧力差が生じるキャビテーション効果により気泡が発生するため、合流時の圧力は0.3MPa以上500MPa以下とする必要がある。圧力が高いほど剥離状態を維持しながら還元することが可能なため、合流時の圧力は1MPa以上が好ましく、10MPa以上がより好ましい。また、圧力が高すぎると気泡の発生や還元剤の分解の進行の可能性があるため、圧力は250MPa以下が好ましい。   In order to give sufficient shearing force at the time of merging, it is necessary to merge at a high pressure. On the other hand, if the pressure is too high, bubbles are generated due to a cavitation effect that causes a pressure difference in the liquid. It is necessary to do the following. Since it can reduce, maintaining a peeling state, so that a pressure is high, 1 MPa or more is preferable and the pressure at the time of joining is more preferable. In addition, if the pressure is too high, there is a possibility that bubbles are generated or the reducing agent proceeds, so that the pressure is preferably 250 MPa or less.

酸化グラフェンは還元の際に表面官能基が急速に減少する結果、非常にグラフェン同士の積層凝集が起こりやすくなる。高いせん断力をかけながら還元することにより、還元された直後に還元グラフェン同士が積層凝集を発生する前に還元グラフェン1枚の面内でπ―π相互作用により引き合い折り畳みが起こる。その結果、還元グラフェン同士の積層を防ぐことができ分散性が高まる。還元反応の完了から凝集発生までにかかる時間は非常に短いため、還元反応した後にせん断力をかけるのではなく、せん断力をかけながら還元をすることで、分散性向上効果が得られる。   In graphene oxide, the surface functional groups are rapidly reduced during the reduction, and as a result, the graphene oxide is very likely to be stacked and aggregated. By reducing while applying a high shearing force, the reduced graphenes are attracted and folded by the π-π interaction in the plane of the reduced graphene before the reduced graphenes are agglomerated and laminated immediately after the reduction. As a result, lamination of reduced graphene can be prevented and dispersibility is improved. Since the time taken from the completion of the reduction reaction to the occurrence of agglomeration is very short, the effect of improving dispersibility can be obtained by applying the shearing force instead of applying the shearing force after the reduction reaction.

合流点において加圧状態となるよう二液を合流するには、酸化グラフェン分散液と還元剤液とを、加圧送液ポンプにて流路中をそれぞれ加圧しながら送液して合流させることが好ましい。加圧送液ポンプとしては加圧能力が高く連続送液に適したプランジャーポンプが好ましい。プランジャーポンプは無脈流動作が可能な複数のプランジャーを持つ構成のポンプを用いることが好ましい。   In order to join the two liquids so as to be in a pressurized state at the confluence, the graphene oxide dispersion and the reducing agent liquid are fed together while being pressurized in the flow path by a pressurized liquid feed pump and merged. preferable. As the pressure feeding pump, a plunger pump having a high pressurizing capacity and suitable for continuous feeding is preferable. The plunger pump is preferably a pump having a plurality of plungers capable of non-pulsating flow operation.

各流路の合流地点の直前における流路径は十分高いせん断力を与えるために、3mm以下とすることが好ましく、0.5mm以下とすることがより好ましい。また流路を流れる原料の圧力損失を抑えるため、各流路の合流地点の直前における流路径は0.05mm以上とすることが好ましく、0.1mm以上とすることがより好ましい。流路径はここでは流路の直径を表し、流路断面が円形で無い場合は、流路断面積をS、周長をLとしたとき、D=4×S/Lを流路径とする。 また、酸化グラフェン分散液と還元剤液とを良く混合して還元反応が均一に進行するようにするため、合流直後の混合液の流れを乱流とすることが好ましい。乱流を生じさせるための方法としては、特に限定されないが、合流直後の混合液が通過する流路を直角に曲げる、合流点に撹拌板を設置する、などの方法が挙げられる。   In order to give a sufficiently high shearing force, the diameter of the flow path immediately before the merging point of each flow path is preferably 3 mm or less, and more preferably 0.5 mm or less. Moreover, in order to suppress the pressure loss of the raw material which flows through a flow path, it is preferable that the flow path diameter just before the confluence | merging point of each flow path shall be 0.05 mm or more, and it is more preferable to set it as 0.1 mm or more. The channel diameter here represents the diameter of the channel, and when the channel cross section is not circular, the channel diameter is D = 4 × S / L, where S is the channel cross-sectional area and L is the circumference. In addition, in order to mix the graphene oxide dispersion and the reducing agent solution well so that the reduction reaction proceeds uniformly, the flow of the mixed solution immediately after the merging is preferably turbulent. Although it does not specifically limit as a method for producing a turbulent flow, The method of bending the flow path through which the liquid mixture immediately after merging passes at right angles, installing a stirring plate in a merging point, etc. are mentioned.

合流後の流体が乱流になりやすいかどうかはレイノルズ数から判断でき、レイノルズ数が高いほど乱流になりやすい。レイノルズ数Reは、体積流量Q、流路の断面積をS、直径をD、液体の動粘性係数をνとしたときに、Re=QD/Sνで表すことができる。ここで流路断面が円形で無い場合は、流路断面積をS、周長をLとしたとき、D=4×S/Lを流路径とする。合流点直後における合流後の流体のレイノルズ数は100以上であることが好ましく、300以上であることがより好ましく、1000以上であることがさらに好ましい。   It can be judged from the Reynolds number whether the fluid after joining tends to become turbulent. The higher the Reynolds number, the more likely it becomes turbulent. The Reynolds number Re can be expressed as Re = QD / Sν, where the volume flow rate Q, the cross-sectional area of the flow path is S, the diameter is D, and the kinematic viscosity coefficient of the liquid is ν. Here, when the channel cross section is not circular, when the channel cross-sectional area is S and the circumference is L, D = 4 × S / L is the channel diameter. The Reynolds number of the fluid after merging immediately after the merging point is preferably 100 or more, more preferably 300 or more, and even more preferably 1000 or more.

合流点における混合液の温度は、還元反応が起こる温度であれば特に限定されないが、還元反応促進のためには40℃以上であることが好ましく、60℃以上であることがより好ましい。そのため、流路に送液する前に、酸化グラフェン分散液および/または還元剤液を予め加熱することが好ましい。また、流路通過中に酸化グラフェン分散液および還元剤液の温度が低下するのを防止するため、流路中で酸化グラフェン分散液および/または還元剤液を加熱することが好ましい。これらの場合の加熱温度としては、還元反応を進める観点から40℃以上が好ましい。また、流路内での突沸を防ぐ観点からは90℃以下が好ましく、80℃以下がより好ましい。なお、酸化グラフェン分散液および/または還元剤液を予め加熱しなくとも、流路内においてこれらを還元反応が進行する温度にまで加熱するようにしてもよい。   The temperature of the mixed solution at the confluence is not particularly limited as long as the reduction reaction occurs, but is preferably 40 ° C. or higher, more preferably 60 ° C. or higher for promoting the reduction reaction. Therefore, it is preferable to heat the graphene oxide dispersion and / or the reducing agent solution in advance before sending the solution to the channel. In order to prevent the temperature of the graphene oxide dispersion and the reducing agent liquid from decreasing during passage through the flow path, it is preferable to heat the graphene oxide dispersion and / or the reducing agent liquid in the flow path. The heating temperature in these cases is preferably 40 ° C. or higher from the viewpoint of proceeding the reduction reaction. Moreover, from a viewpoint of preventing bumping in a flow path, 90 degrees C or less is preferable and 80 degrees C or less is more preferable. Note that the graphene oxide dispersion liquid and / or the reducing agent liquid may be heated to a temperature at which the reduction reaction proceeds in the flow path without being heated in advance.
