A synthetic technology of
graphite oxide comprises the following steps: placing
graphite powder, concentrated
sulfuric acid, a
persulfate and an
oxide in a reaction container according to a ratio of the
graphite powder to the concentrated
sulfuric acid to the
persulfate to the
oxide of 5-30g:50-300ml:5-30g:3-30g, stir-mixing, carrying out ultrasonic treatment for 3-25min, stirring in a 20-200DEG C water or
oil bath for 2-24h, allowing to stand for 1-16h, filtering,
drying, adding the concentrated
sulfuric acid having an amount 2-7 times higher than the previous amount of the concentrated sulfuric acid, carrying out the ultrasonic treatment for 3-150min, slowly adding
potassium permanganate having an amount 1-7 times higher than the addition amount of the graphite
powder, continuously stirring for 2-24h, adding deionized water having an amount equal to the secondary addition amount of the concentrated sulfuric acid under an ice bath cooling condition, stirring for 5-h, adding
hydrogen peroxide while stirring until no bubbles appear to obtain a
graphite oxide solution, filtering the
graphite oxide solution, and
drying to obtain the
graphite oxide. The synthetic technology has the advantages of no
pollution, high
raw material utilization rate, simple preparation process, high oxide
insertion degree, and easy operation.
