基于在液相加工复合材料中的应用前景,对比氧化石墨烯(GO),采用原子力显微镜(AFM)、动态光散射(DLS)、透射电镜(TEM)和X射线光电子能谱(XPS)表征了一种批量生产的石墨烯量子点(GQDs)的形貌及结构,并研究了其在17种常见溶剂及5种同/异构二醇类溶剂中的分散性能。结果表明:这种单层、平均片径7.0nm、富含O、N官能团的GQDs具有强极性的特点,除水外在二甲基亚砜(DMSO)和乙二醇中的分散性能最优,其内在原因归于溶剂极性和溶剂分子间氢键作用的影响。
Based on promising application in composite material by liquid phase processing and compared with graphene oxide (GO),the surface morphology and chemical structure of large-scale commercial graphene quantum dots (GQDs) were characterized by atomic force microscope (AFM),dynamic light scattering (DLS),transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).And the dispersion behavior of GQDs in seventeen ordinary organic solvents and five glycol solvents with different chain length or molecular structure were investigated.The results showed that as the single-layer,7.0nm average diameter as well as a lot of O- and N-containing groups,GQDs was endowed with characteristic of strong polarity.GQDs appeared the best dispersion behavior in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) and ethylene glycol besides in water,due to the solvent polarity and hydrogen bond interaction.
