▎ 摘  要

The effect of graphene content on the structure and conductivity of an eco-friendly cellulose/graphene (CG) composite was investigated. Different compositions of graphene content from 0 to 70 wt. % were prepared using the sol-gel method. Ionic liquids 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium chloride was used to disperse graphene between the cellulose. The investigation showed that CG composite with higher graphene composition exhibits higher conductivity. The highest conductivity (2.85x10(-4) S cm(-1)) was observed at 60 wt. % graphene composition. Sample without graphene showed the lowest conductivity of 1.77x10(-7) S cm(-1), which acts as an insulator. The high conductivity of CG composite can be associated with the X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. The XRD patterns of a-cellulose exhibits a decrease in crystallinity at peak 15 degrees and 22 degrees due to the depolymerization in CG composite. At 60 wt. % composition, XRD pattern showed the decrease in intensity at peak 26 degrees indicates that graphene is more dispersed in the cellulose mixture. This is supported by Fourier transform infrared spectrum of CG composite where the absorption peaks of C-O stretching are weakened at wavelength of 1163 and 1032 cm(-1), suggested dehydration and rupture of cellulose. The dehydration and rupture of cellulose result in the high conductivity of CG composite. This research is believed to provide an eco-friendly method to produce cellulose/graphene composite which is useful in future applications of energy.
