Description

  The present invention relates to a rolled copper foil for producing graphene and a method for producing graphene.

  Graphite has a layered structure in which a number of flat carbon 6-membered ring layers are stacked, and those having a single atomic layer to several atomic layers are called graphene or graphene sheets. Graphene sheets have unique electrical, optical and mechanical properties, and in particular have a high carrier moving speed. Therefore, graphene sheets are expected to have a wide range of applications in the industry, such as fuel cell separators, transparent electrodes, conductive thin films for display elements, mercury-free fluorescent lamps, composite materials, and drug delivery system (DDS) carriers. ing.

As a method of producing a graphene sheet, a method of peeling graphite with an adhesive tape is known, but the number of layers of the obtained graphene sheet is not constant, it is difficult to obtain a large area graphene sheet, and it is not suitable for mass production There's a problem.
Thus, a technique (chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method) has been developed in which a graphene sheet is grown by bringing a carbon-based material into contact with a sheet-like single crystal graphitized metal catalyst and then performing heat treatment (Patent Literature). 1). As this single crystal graphitized metal catalyst, a metal substrate of Ni, Cu, W or the like is described.
Similarly, a technique for forming graphene by chemical vapor deposition on a copper layer formed on a Ni or Cu metal foil or Si substrate has been reported. The graphene film is formed at about 1000 ° C. (Non-patent Document 1).

However, as in Patent Document 1, it is not easy to manufacture a single crystal metal substrate, which is extremely expensive, and it is difficult to obtain a large-area substrate, and thus it is difficult to obtain a large-area graphene sheet. . On the other hand, Non-Patent Document 1 describes using Cu as a substrate, but graphene does not grow in the surface direction in a short time on a Cu foil, and the Cu layer formed on the Si substrate is annealed. The substrate is formed as coarse particles. This is thought to be because there is a step that hinders the growth of graphene on the copper foil. When the Cu layer is formed on the Si substrate, the size of the graphene is restricted by the size of the Si substrate, and the manufacturing cost is high. On the other hand, although a single crystal copper foil has few grain boundaries, it is expensive and has limited dimensions.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a rolled copper foil for producing graphene capable of producing graphene having a large area at low cost and a method for producing graphene using the rolled copper foil.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the rolled copper foil which can produce a large area graphene at low cost is obtained.

It is a schematic diagram of a {001} positive electrode point. It is process drawing which shows the manufacturing method of the graphene which concerns on embodiment of this invention. It is a figure which shows the relationship between the oil film equivalent at the time of the last cold rolling, and thickness at the time of manufacturing the rolled copper foil for graphene manufacture.

  Hereinafter, the rolled copper foil for graphene manufacture which concerns on embodiment of this invention, and the manufacturing method of graphene are demonstrated. In the present invention, “%” means “% by mass” unless otherwise specified.

<Composition of copper foil>
As copper foil, tough pitch copper (TPC) standardized to JIS-H3100 (alloy number: C1100), or oxygen-free copper standardized to JIS-H3510 (alloy number: C1011) or JIS-H3100 (alloy number: C1020) OFC). By using the TPC or OFC, the copper foil has a relatively high purity and tends to have a predetermined crystal orientation described later.
In addition, when the purity of the copper foil exceeds 99.999%, it tends to soften at room temperature, it is difficult to control the rolling texture, and it is difficult to achieve a predetermined crystal orientation described later.

Moreover, the composition which contains 0.050 mass% or less of 1 or more types of elements chosen from the group of Sn and Ag with respect to these tough pitch copper or oxygen free copper can also be used. When the element is contained, the strength of the copper foil is improved and the copper foil has an appropriate elongation, and the crystal orientation can be made more appropriate as compared with the case where the element is not contained. If the total content of the above elements exceeds 0.050% by mass, the strength is further improved, but the elongation is lowered to deteriorate the workability and the crystal orientation may not be appropriate. More preferably, the content ratio of the above elements is 0.04% by mass or less in total, more preferably 0.03% by mass or less, and most preferably 0.02% by mass or less in total.
In addition, although the minimum of the content rate which totaled the said element is not restrict | limited in particular, 0.0001 mass% can be made into a minimum, for example. When the content ratio of the element is less than 0.0001% by mass, it may be difficult to control the content ratio because the content ratio is small. Preferably, the lower limit of the content ratio of the element is 0.001% by mass or more, more preferably 0.003% by mass or more, still more preferably 0.004% by mass or more, and most preferably 0.005% by mass or more. . Further, Ag, Sn, Ni, Si, P, Mg, Zr, Cr, Mn, Co, Zn, Ti, V, and the like within a range that does not greatly affect the crystal orientation (for example, concentration is 0.1 mass% or less). One or more elements selected from the group B may be added, but the additive elements are not limited to these.

<Copper foil thickness>
The thickness of the copper foil is not particularly limited, but is generally 5 to 150 μm. Furthermore, it is preferable to set the thickness of the copper foil base to 12 to 50 μm in order to easily perform etching removal described later while ensuring handling properties. When the thickness of the copper foil base material is less than 12 μm, it may be easily broken and may have poor handling properties, and when the thickness exceeds 50 μm, it may be difficult to remove by etching.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, there is a certain relationship between the thickness of the copper foil and the oil film equivalent when the copper foil is cold rolled. It should be noted that both the oil film equivalent of the final pass of the final cold rolling and the oil film equivalent of the pass immediately before the final pass must satisfy the following relational expression with respect to the final thickness of the rolled copper foil: . Here, ● in FIG. 3 indicates the relationship between the thickness of the copper foil and the oil film equivalent in the examples described later, and x indicates the relationship between the thickness of the copper foil and the oil film equivalent in the comparative example described later. In FIG. 3, the parallelogram-shaped inner region surrounded by the four line segments surrounding each example has a copper foil thickness and an oil film equivalent suitable for producing a copper foil having a preferred crystal orientation. Represents a relationship. Specifically, the relational expression represented by 14500 ≦ oil film equivalent ≦ 24500 and 0.0006 × oil film equivalent + 1 ≦ (thickness of copper foil) ≦ 0.0006 × oil film equivalent + 38 is satisfied.
If the thickness of the copper foil and the oil film equivalent satisfy the above relational expression, the rolled copper foil comes to have a predetermined crystal orientation as follows.

<{001} Positive Point Diagram>
The present inventors have examined factors for uniformly growing graphene on a rolled copper foil and have found that control of the rolling texture is important.
That is, the rolled copper foil for producing graphene according to the first invention of the present invention has a detected intensity maximum value IA at α = 20 degrees, β = 135 degrees ± 3 degrees, and α = The ratio (IA / IB) of the detected intensity maximum value IB at 40 degrees and β = 240 degrees ± 3 degrees (IA / IB) is 0.5 or more and less than 1. The value of (IA / IB) is preferably 0.5 or more and 0.99 or less, more preferably 0.5 or more and 0.97 or less, more preferably 0.5 or more and 0.95 or less, and more preferably 0.00. It is 55 or more and 0.90 or less, more preferably 0.60 or more and 0.90 or less, and most preferably 0.65 or more and 0.89 or less.
FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a {001} positive electrode diagram of rolled copper foil. In the {001} positive pole figure of a general rolled copper foil, there is almost no peak in the range of α and β defined by the above-mentioned maximum values IA and IC (described later) of the detected intensity, and the maximum value of the detected intensity High peaks tend to appear in the range of α and β defined by IB and ID (described later). And it became clear that it was difficult to grow graphene uniformly when the detected intensity at specific α and β was high in the {001} positive electrode diagram. This is considered to be because when the detection intensity is high at specific α and β, there is a specific crystal orientation that prevents the growth of graphene on the copper foil.

  Therefore, in the rolled copper foil for producing graphene according to the first invention of the present invention, in the {001} positive electrode diagram of the rolled copper foil, the value of IA, which is considered to be relatively low, is increased. In general, the detection intensity is decreased at specific α and β by reducing the value of IB, which is generally considered to have the highest intensity, as much as possible. Thereby, it is considered that the atomic arrangement is optimized for graphene growth.

Further, the rolled copper foil for producing graphene according to the second aspect of the present invention has a maximum detected value IC of α = 20 degrees, β = 225 degrees ± 3 degrees, and α = The ratio (IC / ID) to the maximum value ID of the detection intensity at 40 degrees and β = 300 degrees ± 3 degrees is 0.5 or more and less than 1. The value of (IC / ID) is preferably 0.5 or more and 0.97 or less, more preferably 0.5 or more and 0.95 or less, more preferably 0.55 or more and 0.90 or less, and more preferably 0.60 or more. 0.87 or less, most preferably 0.65 or more and 0.85 or less.
Also in the rolled copper foil for producing graphene according to the second invention of the present invention, in the {001} positive electrode diagram of the rolled copper foil, the IC value, which is considered to be relatively low, is increased, and generally the highest strength is obtained. By reducing the ID value to be as small as possible, the detection intensity is reduced at specific α and β. Thereby, it is considered that the atomic arrangement is optimized for graphene growth.
Also in the rolled copper foil for producing graphene according to the first invention of the present invention, in the {001} positive electrode diagram, the maximum value IC of the detected intensity at α = 20 degrees, β = 225 degrees ± 3 degrees, and α It is preferable that the ratio (IC / ID) to the maximum value ID of the detected intensity at = 40 degrees and β = 300 degrees ± 3 degrees is 0.5 or more and less than 1. The value of (IC / ID) is preferably 0.5 or more and 0.97 or less, more preferably 0.5 or more and 0.95 or less, more preferably 0.55 or more and 0.90 or less, and more preferably 0.60 or more. 0.87 or less, most preferably 0.65 or more and 0.85 or less.

  When (IA / IB) or (IC / ID) is less than 0.5, the value of IB or ID becomes too larger than the corresponding value of IA or IC, and the detection intensity is lowered at specific α and β. And the specific crystal orientation on the copper foil that hinders the growth of graphene cannot be reduced. On the other hand, when (IA / IB) or (IC / ID) exceeds 1, the value of IB or ID becomes too smaller than the corresponding value of IA or IC, and the detection intensity is lowered with specific α and β. The specific crystal orientation on the copper foil that hinders the growth of graphene cannot be reduced.

IA is preferably 1 or more, and IC is preferably 1 or more. By controlling the values of IA and IC, which are considered to be relatively low in intensity, to 1 or more, it is considered that the detection intensity decreases at specific α and β, and the atomic arrangement is optimal for graphene growth.
The IA is more preferably 2.8 to 8.0, further preferably 2.8 to 6.0, more preferably 2.8 to 5.5, and 2.8 to Most preferably, it is 4.3. This is because when the value of IA is within these ranges, the sheet resistance value of graphene tends to be low.
The IC is more preferably 2.7 to 8.0, further preferably 2.8 to 6.0, more preferably 2.8 to 5.7, and more preferably 2.8 to 6.0. Most preferably, it is 4.3. This is because when the IC value is within these ranges, the sheet resistance value of graphene tends to be low.
Moreover, it is preferable that IB is 11 or less. By controlling IB to 11 or less, it is considered that the detection intensity becomes small at specific α and β, and the atomic arrangement is optimal for graphene growth. The IB is preferably 1.0 to 10.0, preferably 1.0 to 8.0, preferably 1.0 to 6.0, and 2.0 to 5.0. It is preferable that it is, and it is most preferable that it is 2.0-4.7. This is because when the value of IB is within these ranges, the sheet resistance value of graphene tends to be low.

In addition, {001} positive electrode point measurement is performed by the reflection method about the copper foil surface using an X-ray diffractometer. However, in the reflection method, measurement becomes difficult when the incident angle of the X-ray with respect to the sample surface becomes shallow. Therefore, the angle ranges that can be actually measured are 0 ° ≦ α ≦ 75 ° and 0 ° ≦ β ≦ 360 on the positive electrode diagram. ° (where α is an axis perpendicular to the rotational axis of the diffraction goniometer defined in the Schulz method, β is an axis parallel to the rotational axis).
Also, the strength of the texture on the positive point diagram is normalized by assuming that the texture has no texture (that is, the crystal orientation is random) as 1. Assuming that the crystal orientation is random, a {001} positive electrode point measurement of a copper powder sample is performed, and this is set to 1.

<60 degree gloss of copper foil>
It is preferable that both the 60-degree glossiness (JIS Z 8741) of the copper foil surface in the rolling parallel direction and the rolling perpendicular direction is 130% or more.
As described later, after producing graphene using the rolled copper foil for producing graphene of the present invention, it is necessary to transfer graphene from the copper foil to the transfer sheet, but it is difficult to transfer if the surface of the copper foil is rough, It was found that graphene might break. Therefore, it is preferable that the surface unevenness of the copper foil is smooth.
In addition, the upper limit of 60 degree glossiness in the rolling parallel direction and the direction perpendicular to the rolling direction is not particularly limited, but if it is less than 500%, it is not necessary to strictly define the production conditions such as the degree of rolling work when producing the copper foil base material. It is preferable because the degree of freedom in manufacturing is high. Further, the upper limit of 60 degree gloss in the rolling parallel direction and the direction perpendicular to the rolling is practically about 800%.
In order to facilitate the transfer of graphene to the transfer sheet in this way, the arithmetic average roughness Ra of the copper foil surface in the rolling parallel direction is preferably 0.20 μm or less.

  By using the rolled copper foil for producing graphene defined as described above, large-area graphene can be produced at low cost and with high yield.

<Manufacture of rolled copper foil for graphene production>
The rolled copper foil for producing graphene according to the embodiment of the present invention can be produced, for example, as follows. First, a copper ingot having a predetermined composition is manufactured, and after hot rolling, cold rolling is performed, and then annealing and cold rolling are repeated to obtain a rolled sheet. The rolled sheet is annealed and recrystallized, and finally cold-rolled to a predetermined thickness to obtain a copper foil base material.
Here, in the final cold rolling, the oil film equivalent of the final pass and the oil film equivalent of the pass immediately before the final pass both satisfy the above relational expression with respect to the final thickness of the rolled copper foil ( (See FIG. 3). Note that the oil film equivalent of the final pass and the oil film equivalent of the pass immediately before the final pass do not have to be the same value. The rolled copper foil is generally processed at high speed under oil lubrication, and the shear band deformation tends to become dominant as the lubricating oil film becomes thicker. Moreover, it exists in the tendency for the deformation | transformation speed of the copper foil at the time of rolling to become large, so that the board | plate thickness of copper foil is thick. Then, it is considered that the crystal orientation of the copper foil falls within a predetermined range due to the influence of the presence of the shear band and the deformation speed of the copper foil during rolling.
And when rolled copper foil has a predetermined crystal orientation, it is thought that the growth of graphene is promoted on the surface of the rolled copper foil.

The oil film equivalent is represented by the following formula.
Oil film equivalent = {(rolling oil viscosity, kinematic viscosity at 40 ° C. [cSt]) × (feeding speed [mpm] + roll peripheral speed [mpm])} / {(roll biting angle [rad]) × (material Yield stress [kg / mm ² ])}.
In order to set the oil film equivalent to 25,000 or less, a known method such as using a low-viscosity rolling oil or slowing the sheet passing speed may be used.

<Graphene production method>
Next, referring to FIG. 2, a method for producing graphene according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
First, the rolled copper foil 10 for producing graphene of the present invention described above is placed in a chamber (vacuum chamber or the like) 100, the rolled copper foil 10 for producing graphene is heated by the heater 104, and the inside of the chamber 100 is depressurized or vacuumed. Pull. Then, the carbon-containing gas G is supplied from the gas inlet 102 into the chamber 100 together with the hydrogen gas (FIG. 2A). Examples of the carbon-containing gas G include carbon monoxide, methane, ethane, propane, ethylene, acetylene, and the like. However, the carbon-containing gas G is not limited to these, and may be one or two or more mixed gases. Further, the heating temperature of the rolled copper foil 10 for producing graphene may be set to be equal to or higher than the decomposition temperature of the carbon-containing gas G, for example, 1000 ° C. or higher. Alternatively, the carbon-containing gas G may be heated to a decomposition temperature or higher in the chamber 100 and the decomposition gas may be brought into contact with the rolled copper foil 10 for producing graphene. At this time, by heating the rolled copper foil 10 for producing graphene, the decomposition gas (carbon gas) contacts the surface of the rolled copper foil 10 for producing graphene, and the graphene 20 is formed on the surface of the rolled copper foil 10 for producing graphene. (FIG. 2B).

And the rolled copper foil 10 for graphene manufacture is cooled to normal temperature, the transfer sheet 30 is laminated | stacked on the surface of the graphene 20, and the graphene 20 is transcribe | transferred on the transfer sheet 30. FIG. Next, this laminated body is continuously immersed in the etching tank 110 through the sink roll 120, and the rolled copper foil 10 for producing graphene is removed by etching (FIG. 2C). Thus, the graphene 20 laminated on the predetermined transfer sheet 30 can be manufactured.
Furthermore, when the laminated body from which the rolled copper foil 10 for producing graphene is removed is pulled up, the substrate 40 is laminated on the surface of the graphene 20, and the transfer sheet 30 is peeled off while transferring the graphene 20 onto the substrate 40, The graphene 20 laminated on the substrate can be manufactured.

  As the transfer sheet 30, various resin sheets (polymer sheets such as polyethylene and polyurethane) can be used. As an etching solution for etching and removing the rolled copper foil 10 for producing graphene, for example, a sulfuric acid solution, a sodium persulfate solution, hydrogen peroxide, a sodium persulfate solution, or a solution obtained by adding sulfuric acid to hydrogen peroxide can be used. As the substrate 40, for example, Si, SiC, Ni, or Ni alloy can be used.

<Preparation of sample>
A copper ingot having the composition shown in Table 1 was manufactured, hot-rolled and then cold-rolled, and annealing and cold rolling in an annealing furnace set at a temperature of 300 to 800 ° C. were repeated to obtain a thickness of 1 to 2 mm. A rolled plate was obtained. This rolled sheet was annealed and recrystallized in an annealing furnace set at a temperature of 300 to 800 ° C., and finally cold-rolled to the thickness shown in Table 1 to obtain a copper foil.

Here, the oil film equivalent of the final pass of the final cold rolling and the pass before the final pass was adjusted to the values shown in Table 1.
The oil film equivalent is represented by the following formula.
(Oil film equivalent) = {(rolling oil viscosity, kinematic viscosity at 40 ° C .; cSt) × (rolling speed; m / min)} / {(yield stress of material; kg / mm ² ) × (roll biting angle; rad )}

<Measurement of glossiness>
The 60-degree glossiness of the surface after the final cold rolling of the copper foils of the examples and comparative examples was measured.
The 60 degree glossiness was measured using a gloss meter (trade name “PG-1M” manufactured by Nippon Denshoku Industries Co., Ltd.) in accordance with JIS-Z8741. In the table, G60 _RD and G60 _TD are 60 degree glossinesses in the rolling parallel direction and the rolling perpendicular direction, respectively.

<Measurement of surface roughness Ra>
The surface roughness Ra after the final cold rolling of the copper foils of the examples and comparative examples was measured.
The surface roughness Ra was measured as an arithmetic average roughness (Ra; μm) based on JIS B0601 using a contact roughness meter (trade name “SE-3400” manufactured by Kosaka Laboratory Ltd.). The measurement position is changed 10 times in parallel with the rolling direction under the conditions of a measurement standard length of 0.8 mm, an evaluation length of 4 mm, a cut-off value of 0.8 mm, and a feed rate of 0.1 mm / second. The average value of was obtained.

<{001} positive electrode point measurement>
The {001} positive electrode point measurement was performed by a reflection method on the copper foil surface after the final cold rolling in each example and comparative example using an X-ray diffractometer (RINT2500, manufactured by Rigaku Corporation). However, in the reflection method, measurement becomes difficult when the incident angle of the X-ray with respect to the sample surface becomes shallow. Therefore, the angle ranges that can be actually measured are 0 ° ≦ α ≦ 75 ° and 0 ° ≦ β ≦ 360 on the positive electrode diagram. ° (where α is an axis perpendicular to the rotational axis of the diffraction goniometer defined in the Schulz method, β is an axis parallel to the rotational axis).
In addition, the strength of the texture on the positive point diagram was normalized by assuming that the texture has no texture (that is, the crystal orientation is random) as 1. With the crystal orientation being random, a {001} positive electrode point measurement of a copper powder sample was performed and this was set to 1.
As the X-ray irradiation conditions, a Cu tube was used, the tube voltage was 40 kV, the tube current was 100 mA, and a {001} positive point diagram was measured by the Schulz reflection method.

<Manufacture of graphene>
The rolled copper foil for producing graphene of each example (length and width: 100 × 100 mm) was placed in a vacuum chamber and heated to 1000 ° C. Hydrogen gas and methane gas are supplied to this vacuum chamber under vacuum (pressure: 0.2 Torr) (supply gas flow rate: 10 to 100 cc / min), and the copper foil is heated to 1000 ° C. in 30 minutes and then held for 1 hour. Then, graphene was grown on the copper foil surface.
About each Example, manufacture of graphene was performed 10 times on the said conditions, the sheet resistance of graphene was measured, and the manufacture yield of graphene was evaluated.
Regarding the sheet resistance of graphene, the graphene resistance value (sheet resistance: Ω / sq) was measured by a four-terminal method after graphene on the surface of the copper foil was transferred to a PET film for the above 10 samples, and the average value was obtained. . If the graphene resistance is 600 Ω / sq or less, there is no practical problem.
The production yield of graphene was evaluated by observing the presence or absence of graphene on the surface of the copper foil with an atomic force microscope (AFM) for the ten samples. The case where scaly irregularities were observed on the entire surface by AFM was regarded as the production of graphene, and the yield was evaluated according to the following criteria based on the number of times graphene was produced out of 10 productions. If the evaluation is ○, there is no practical problem.
○: Graphene was manufactured 4 times or more out of 10 times of manufacture ×: Graphene was manufactured 3 times or less out of 10 times of manufacture

  The obtained results are shown in Table 1.

  As is clear from Table 1, in each example where (IA / IB) and (IC / ID) were 0.5 or more and less than 1, the sheet resistance of graphene was low, and the production yield of graphene was also excellent. . In each of the examples, the maximum detection intensity values IA and IC were both 1 or more, and the maximum detection intensity value IB was 11 or less.

  On the other hand, in the case of each comparative example in which the oil film equivalent and the plate thickness of the final cold rolling are out of the range of the above relational expression, (IA / IB) and (IC / ID) are both less than 0.5 or 1 Thus, the sheet resistance of graphene is high, and the production yield of graphene is also inferior.
