Technical Field

The invention relates to a preparation method of a conductive film, in particular to a preparation method of a renewable cellulose conductive film with stable flexible conductivity.

Background

The conductive film is a thin film having a conductive function. The charged carriers of the conductive film are scattered by the surface and interface during transport, and when the thickness of the film is comparable to the free path of electrons, the influence on the surface and interface becomes significant, which is called the size effect of the film. It is equivalent to a reduction in the free path of the carriers and therefore the conductivity of the thin film is less than that of a bulk of the same material.

Flexible conductive films are one of the key components of many flexible electronic devices, such as displays, organic thin film transistors, photovoltaic devices, and electronic housings. In recent years, Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) thin films have become the most widely used transparent conductor due to their excellent electronic properties and optical transparency. However, the brittleness, high cost and shortage of indium resources of ITO materials limit the large-scale application of ITO materials in portable flexible devices. To address these challenges, alternative materials such as metal nanomaterials, conductive polymers, graphene, and carbon nanotubes are being developed for fabricating flexible conductors. Silver nanowires (AgNWs) have excellent electrical and optical properties, as well as abundant ductility, and have been widely used to fabricate conductive flexible thin films for various devices.

Most conductive materials are prepared by spraying, brushing or depositing AgNWs onto flexible substrates such as Polyurethane (PU), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and polyethylene terephthalate. However, the limited and weak contact between the AgNWs and the substrate interface is not conducive to maintaining long-term stability of the conductive network, and the AgNWs may fall off when subjected to a certain bending deformation. In addition, the aging speed of AgNWs is accelerated due to high humidity or high hydrogen sulfide content in the atmosphere, so that the original conductivity is reduced. Therefore, maintaining the conductive stability of the conductor is critical to ensure proper operation of the device, even in extreme rain seasons or harsh environments. Although the stability of the conductor can be improved by covering the surface of the AgNWs with the graphene, the problems of high cost, weak interface bonding strength and the like still need to be controlled and improved. It remains a challenging goal to design a biodegradable, mechanically flexible, and highly conductive stable material.

Disclosure of Invention

The cellulose renewable thin film prepared by the low AgNWs/PEDOT/PSS load has higher conductivity, the application of an ITO material in a portable flexible device is limited by the brittleness and high cost of the ITO material and the shortage of indium resources, and the preparation of the renewable cellulose film has the opportunity of replacing the ITO material and has the prospect of large-scale production.

The purpose of the invention is realized by the following technical scheme:

a preparation method of a flexible regenerated cellulose conductive film with stable conductivity comprises the following preparation processes:

step one, preparing hydrogel:

adding cellulose into the three-neck flask, and mechanically stirring at 85 ℃ until the cellulose is completely dissolved, wherein the system is changed into transparent viscous liquid;

uniformly placing the transparent viscous liquid on a polished silicon wafer carrier by adopting a spin coating method, and placing the polished silicon wafer carrier into a vacuum drying phase with the temperature of 85 ℃ and the vacuum degree of 0.01MPa for degassing treatment to finally obtain a uniform transparent [ Bmim ] Cl/cellulose system;

then putting the mixture into distilled water at the temperature of 30 ℃, and forming uniform and transparent hydrogel after water molecules are completely replaced by [ Bmim ] Cl ionic liquid;

step two, loading PEDOT (PSS)/AgNWs on the surface of the hydrogel:

hydrogel with the diameter of 4.2cm is used as a filter and is placed on a sand core filtering device; adding the PEDOT, namely PSS and AgNWs into purified deionized water drop by drop; carrying out ultrasonic treatment on the mixed solution, transferring the mixed solution into a filtering device, and filtering deionized water by a vacuum filtration method to obtain uniform PEDOT, wherein PSS/AgNWs are loaded on the surface of the hydrogel;

step three, drying to form a film:

and taking down the filtered hydrogel, clamping the hydrogel between two PTFE0.1 mu m microporous membranes, loading about 50N vertical acting force, and treating the hydrogel in a 60 ℃ blast drying oven to obtain the renewable cellulose membrane with stable conductivity.

The preparation method of the renewable cellulose conductive film with stable flexible conductivity is characterized in that the renewable cellulose conductive film with stable flexible conductivity is applied to a strain sensor and a micro super capacitor.

The invention has the advantages and effects that:

the invention adopts an interface engineering method to develop a flexible, transparent and stable conductive film. Compared with other conventional preparation methods, the CRC thin film prepared by the low AgNWs load has higher conductivity. The improved performance is attributed to the bridging of the PEDOT: PSS with the AgNWs and the uniform conductive network formed thereby. The synergistic effect of coordination complexing and H bond makes CRC membrane have stronger interface stability and oxidation resistance. Even after 500 rounds of bending (the angle can reach 180 degrees), more than 400 rounds of pasting and stripping, 30 days of soaking in water, 60 days of high temperature and high humidity (90 percent RH,65 ℃) and other treatments, the CRC film still keeps higher conductivity and good flexibility, and does not generate obvious degradation. Practical applications of the film as an electronic skin sensor and a Micro Supercapacitor (MSC) energy storage device are described, and the film has good performance and long-term stability even in a high humidity environment. CRC films are particularly promising for use in next generation electronic, optoelectronic, energy storage, soft robotic and sensor devices.

The improvement of the conductive stability of the flexible conductor has a positive influence on the working performance and the service life of the portable electronic device. However, due to the damage of the conductive network under large deformation or high humidity conditions, it is still not easy to design a material that combines conductive stability with good flexibility. The present invention overcomes this challenge by developing an interface engineering strategy for constructing flexible, transparent, conductivity-stable films. Under the synergistic action of coordination and hydrogen bonds, silver nanowires (AgNWs) are sandwiched and coated by a regenerated cellulose film (serving as a flexible substrate) and PEDOT (PSS) nanosheets (serving as a conductive bridge and a covering layer). The resulting film has a robust interface architecture and significant stability. The film exhibits 11.3 Ω sq-1 of high stable conductivity even when subjected to conditions such as exposure to an environment of 90% relative humidity and a temperature of 65 ℃ for 60 days, repeated bending 500 times, surface sticking more than 400 times or immersion in water for 30 days. The conductor is utilized to display a flexible, transparent and biocompatible strain electric sensor and a micro super capacitor, and the device is based on renewable materials, has high working stability and has a prospect of large-scale production.

The method provided by the invention has the advantages of low cost, environment-friendly product performance and obvious modification effect.

Detailed Description

The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.

The invention adopts an interface engineering method to develop a flexible, transparent and stable conductive film. Compared with other conventional preparation methods, the prepared conductive thin film has higher conductivity although the loading amount of AgNWs is low.

The invention adopts a green environment-friendly solvent replacement method to prepare the hydrogel of the conductive film substrate. The invention adopts a simple green solvent replacement method to prepare the high-performance cellulose membrane. Firstly, uniformly placing a 1 butyl 3 methylimidazolium chloride ([ Bmim ] Cl)/cellulose system on a polished silicon wafer carrier by adopting a spin coating method; then placing the gel into a distilled water tank by adopting a solvent replacement method until the gel is converted into a transparent hydrogel material;

the film has stronger interface stability and oxidation resistance under the synergistic action of coordination and complexation and H bonds. A coordinate bond, also known as a coordinate covalent bond, is a specific covalent bond. A coordination bond is formed when a pair of electrons shared by covalent bonds is supplied by one atom alone and the other atom provides an empty orbital. The two electrons shared between the two atoms that form the bond are not provided one each by the two atoms, but come from one atom.

The complexation reaction is also called coordination reaction, and is a process in which an electron pair donor and an electron acceptor interact with each other to form various complexes. The donor includes atoms or ions, and the acceptor includes metal ions and organic compounds, regardless of whether they constitute a simple substance or a compound, or a substance capable of providing an electron pair. The process of combining molecules or ions with metal ions to form new ions that are very stable.

Hydrogen bonds, hydrogen atoms are covalently bonded to an atom X having a large electronegativity, and when the atom X is close to an atom Y (for example, OF N) having a large electronegativity and a small radius, hydrogen is mediated between X and Y to generate a specific intermolecular or intramolecular interaction in the form OF X — H … Y. [ X and Y can be the same kind of molecule, such as hydrogen bond between water molecules; or a hydrogen bond between different kinds of molecules, such as an ammonia monohydrate molecule (NH 3. H2O).

The abundance, reproducibility, and environmental sustainability of cellulose make it potentially useful in energy storage, thermoelectric devices, organic optoelectronics, and flexible electronics. The dissociation of hydrogen bonds between cellulose molecular chains allows cellulose to be readily dissolved in Ionic Liquids (IL). By a simple phase conversion method, a hydrogel material with good flexibility and toughness can be obtained. In the present invention, the hydrogel can be used as a substrate without the need for adhesive bonding of AgNWs.

Poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene) -polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT: PSS) is a conductive polymer with inherent flexibility and solution processability, and is a flexible conductor with great application prospect. On the top surface of the AgNWs, a PEDOT: PSS liquid was deposited and covered over the AgNWs. In the drying process of 24 h at 60 ℃, complex interface connection is formed between the hydrogel and the PEDOT PSS, AgNWs is packaged between the hydrogel and the PEDOT PSS, the hydrogel, the PEDOT PSS and the AgNWs are tightly combined, and the structure has strong interface bonding strength and good conductivity stability. A conductive renewable cellulose membrane (CRC membrane) is obtained which is flexible and freely foldable and has stable conductivity.
