Synthesis and application of CA-g-PANI in graphene dispersion
The commonly used dispersants for graphene dispersions reduce the conductivity of the composite. In this work, a dispersant with an amphiphilic structure, CA-g-PANI, has been designed and synthesized. The dispersant grafts citric acid (CA) onto polyaniline via an amide reaction, which gives CA-g-PANI the hydrophilic groups (carboxyl groups) and the benzene ring structures that can be π–π conjugated with graphene, and it can improve the dispersion properties of graphene; CA-g-PANI contains the polyaniline structure, which is electrically conductive and enhances the electrical conductivity of graphene dispersions. The molecular structure and properties of the dispersant were systematically characterized through FTIR spectra, UV absorption spectra, and other methods. The graphene-based composites were prepared by screen printing method, and the dispersibility and resistivity of CA-g-PANI were compared with gum arabic and alkali lignin (natural dispersants). Graphene concentration reached up to 30 mg/mL in the presence of CA-g-PANI at the weight ratio of 1:0.03 (CA-g-PANI: graphene). CA-g-PANI also exhibited good performance for stabilizing graphene (stable for 6 days), with an electrical conductivity of up to 917.43 S/m. In the study, it was shown that CA-g-PANI as a graphene dispersant improved the conductivity of graphene dispersions while enhancing the dispersing properties of graphene.
