Further advantages, features and details of the invention result from the subclaims as well as the description. Advantages, features and details that are described in connection with the dispersion according to the invention, of course, apply also in connection with the method according to the invention, and vice versa. The same applies to the uses according to the invention.
- According to the first aspect of the invention, a dispersion is prepared, consisting of a dispersing liquid and at least one solid substance that is distributed in the dispersing liquid. The dispersion is characterized according to the invention in that the dispersing liquid has an aqueous and/or a non-aqueous base, that the at least one solid substance is formed of graphite and/or of carbon nanomaterial and/or of coke and/or of porous carbon and that the at least one solid substance is distributed homogeneously and stably in the dispersing liquid.
- A dispersion in the sense of the present invention generally involves a distribution of at least one substance in another substance that is as fine and complete as possible, but wherein a true solution is not formed.
- In the dispersion according to the present invention, at least one solid substance is dispersed in a liquid, whereby the solid substance is distributed homogeneously in the liquid and remains stably distributed therein.
- The dispersing liquid used according to the invention has an aqueous and/or a non-aqueous base, whereby combinations of these are also particularly permitted. The invention is not limited to specific types of dispersing liquids. Several advantageous, but not exclusive examples will be explained in detail below for this purpose.
- For example, numerous organic compounds are considered as non-aqueous dispersing liquids, such as, e.g., polar, nonpolar, ionic; e.g., monohydric or polyhydric alcohols, for example polyols; esters; ketones; amides; carboxylic acids; aldehydes; aliphatic, aromatic, naphthenic hydrocarbons; heterocycles; ionic liquids and any mixtures thereof.
- The dispersion has at least one solid substance, wherein, of course, more than one solid substance may also be present. The at least one solid substance is formed of graphite and/or of carbon nanomaterial and/or of coke and/or of porous carbon, whereby the individual materials can be used either individually each time, or also, however, in any combination. Several advantageous, but not exclusive material examples will be explained in detail below for this purpose.
- The graphites used may be, for example, natural graphites, synthetically produced graphites and their precursors, intercalated graphites (expanded graphites) and the like.
- The carbon nanomaterials, for example, may consist of carbon nanotubes (single-walled and multi-walled), carbon nanofibers (herringbone, platelet, screw-type), nanohorns, nanocones, and the like. Carbon nanotubes are also designated internationally as carbon nanotubes (single-walled and multi-walled); carbon nanofibers are also designated internationally as carbon nanofibers (herringbone, platelet, screw-type).
- Calcined, partially graphitized or graphitized cokes can be used, for example, as cokes. The cokes may originate from degassed coal or from petroleum coke.
- Combinations of the above-named materials may also be utilized.
- According to the invention, it is finally also provided that the at least one solid substance is distributed homogeneously and stably in the dispersing liquid. Very homogeneous dispersions can be prepared from the named materials in the production of these dispersions, in particular, due to process conditions such as, for example, pressure, temperature, shearing forces, and the like.
- Advantageously, at least one additive can be added to the dispersion. For example, these may be special stabilizing additives. In particular, special additives may be necessary for stabilizing dispersions due to the high processing pressure and the high shearing forces when the dispersion is produced according to the invention, as described further below. The invention is not limited to specific materials for additives. The following may be used, for example: polyvinyl alcohols, polyvinylpyrrolidones, lignin sulfonates, polysaccharides, such as, e.g., alginates, xanthans, dextrins, starch derivatives, cellulose ether, and the like.
- In another embodiment, at least one binder can be added to the dispersion. For example, special organic binders may be added to the initial materials of the dispersion, such as, for example, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), so that during manufacture a homogeneous, stable dispersion can be produced therefrom. For example, a non-aqueous dispersion of N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) carbon nanotubes and PVDF can be produced, which can be utilized as an additive for improving the electrical and mechanical properties of cathode and anode materials in batteries and storage batteries, for example, for lithium-ion storage batteries.
- Advantageously, at least one acid and/or at least one acid-acting compound can be added to the dispersion. The latter may involve, for example, organic acids, such as, e.g., acetic acid, formic acid, malonic acid anhydride, and the like. However, for example, it may also involve inorganic acids, such as, e.g., sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and the like.
- In another embodiment, at least one base and/or at least one base-acting compound can be added to the dispersion. The latter may involve, for example, potassium hydroxides, amines, polyethylene imines, and the like.
- Advantageously, at least one salt and/or at least one salt-type compound can be added to the dispersion. These materials can be selected, for example, from the group of alkali salts, alkaline-earth salts, metal salts, organic acids or inorganic acids, such as, for example, potassium carbonate or potassium oxalate, whereby the invention is not limited, of course, to the named examples.
- In another embodiment, at least one peroxide, such as, for example, hydrogen peroxide, diacetyl peroxide, dibenzoyl peroxide, or the like, and/or at least one boron compound can be added to the dispersion.
- Advantageously, at least one reaction partner for a polymerization can be contained in the dispersion. Here, polyols may be used, for example, but the invention is not limited, of course, to the named example.
- A dispersion formed according to the preceding embodiments can be produced in a particularly advantageous manner by the method according to the invention, which is described as follows.
- According to the second aspect of the invention, a method for the production of a dispersion according to the invention, as described in the preceding, is provided, which is characterized according to the invention in that the dispersion is produced by applying a strong accelerating voltage.
- Stable dispersions of graphites and/or carbon nanomaterials and/or cokes and/or porous carbons as well as combinations thereof can be produced with the method according to the invention.
- The basic principle of the method is based on the fact that a dispersion is produced by applying a strong accelerating voltage, for example, with the help of additives. Either an aqueous or a non-aqueous dispersion may be used for the dispersion.
- Advantageously, the initial product of the dispersion is pumped through a reaction chamber with high acceleration and at high pressure. The dispersal, i.e., the splitting of aggregates and agglomerates into single particles, is achieved by applying an extreme acceleration. The dispersion will be pumped through a reaction chamber at extreme pressure.
- Preferably, the initial product of the dispersion is thus pumped through the reaction chamber at a pressure between 500 bars and 5,000 bars. In addition, the pumping through the chamber can be performed with a shearing velocity between 500,000 sec−1 and 8,000,000 sec−1. In this way, the dispersed particles are extremely accelerated in the reaction chamber. In a preferred embodiment, the pressure amounts to 1,000 bars or to at least approximately 1,000 bars and the shearing velocity amounts to 5,000,000 sec−1.
- Advantageously, the reaction chamber has at least one dispersion guide with at least one baffle plate, whereby the dispersion is pumped through the dispersion guide equipped with the at least one baffle plate. A dispersion guide generally involves a structural configuration for correctly guiding or leading the dispersion through the reaction chamber.
- The extreme shearing stresses that occur in this way tear apart the aggregates and agglomerates so that they are broken down into single particles. The additives that are optionally present in the dispersing liquid prevent re-agglomeration. The additives are selected so that they act either by electrochemical shielding or by steric stabilizing.
- Preferably, the at least one dispersion guide can have a three-dimensional channel structure, in particular, a serpentine-shaped channel structure, wherein the dispersion is pumped through the three-dimensional channel structure.
- The described method is also suitable for the purpose of mechanically and/or chemically modifying the materials used. For example, graphites can be delaminated and carbon nanotubes or fibers can be unraveled and shortened. It is also possible to chemically alter the materials by means of special additives. For example, the graphite can be modified with boron by adding a special boron compound. It is also possible to modify the surface properties of the materials in a targeted manner. For example, the surfaces of the materials can be modified by using special amines or polyethylene imines. For example, oxygen-containing groups can be produced by using peroxides.
- With the method according to the invention, dispersions can be produced with properties that have been unknown up until now, with respect to viscosity, stability, as well as electrical and thermal conductivity. Thus, for example, dispersions of carbon nanotubes can have a very high viscosity even at low concentrations. By combining graphite and carbon nanomaterial, completely new types of dispersions can be produced, which make possible, for example, surface coatings with high electrical conductivity, as well as good mechanical and chemical properties.
- Without wishing to bind the dispersal to a specific theory, one can proceed from the fact that compressive and tensile phases are built up by the extreme acceleration of the liquid and these can give rise to forces in the liquid that lead to thickening and thinning of the medium. In this way, due to the flow mechanics, a cavitation is also induced, which tears apart the liquid, so that small cavitation bubbles form, which implode in the liquid due to the underpressure prevailing therein. This has the consequence that the bubbles collapse. In this way, extreme forces that are exercised on the solid particles found in these zones arise particularly at the interfaces with the liquid, so that bonds of solid substances can be broken down. This effect, which is designated cavitation, acts in a way that breaks down material, but in the present case, this is done deliberately for dispersing solid substances.
- In addition, the properties of the carrier medium (temperature, vapor pressure, viscosity, dissolved gas quantities), as well as its interaction with the type and concentration of the dispersed solid substance also play a large role. In the flow and cavitation fields, consequently, not only are agglomerates and aggregates torn apart, but primary particles may also be broken down.
- Usually, this disintegration or comminution is characterized via percent fracture, comminution ratio and surface increase and increases with increasing particle size and energy absorption. This increase via energy absorption occurs degressively and is accompanied by a broadening of the particle-size distribution. It is thus clearly confirmed, accordingly, on the one hand, that larger particles have a lower strength than smaller particles, and, on the other hand, that with increasing intensity of stress, a state of stress is established that increasingly prevents a further comminution.
- It has now been shown surprisingly that this is no longer true without limitation according to the present invention.
- The different sizes of cavitation bubbles and the high peripheral energy densities no longer bind the effect of the method according to the invention to specific particle sizes. It has been shown surprisingly that a high effectiveness is given right in the size range of <2 μm.
- The dispersion according to the invention as described further above or a dispersion produced by the method according to the invention described further above can be used for a large number of advantageous fields of application.
- For example, such types of dispersions can be used as an additive for improving the mechanical, electrical or thermal properties of a material.
- In another embodiment, these types of dispersions can be used in batteries and storage batteries, for example, as additives for anodes, cathodes, electrolytes, as activated materials, and the like. These types of dispersions can also be used, for example, in capacitors, for example, as activated materials and additives for so-called supercapacitors.
- However, the dispersions may also be used, for example, as a coating on surfaces, for example, as a coating on metal, glass, ceramic, or plastic surfaces, and the like.
- These types of dispersions can also be used advantageously as polymer additives, as ink pastes or as reaction partners for polymerizations.
- Preferably, such dispersions can also be used as additives for ceramics, for a ceramic precursor, for a metal, for a metal alloy, for glass, for yarns, for textiles, for paper, and the like.
- In another embodiment, such dispersions can also be used, for example, for the production of fibers, nonwoven fabrics, paper, and the like.

The dispersing liquid base for these dispersions may be of an aqueous as well as of a non-aqueous nature and may contain special stabilizing additives. The materials used may also be modified mechanically and/or chemically by this method.
