Low-carbon ecological cement composites are among the most promising construction materials. With low energy consumption, low carbon dioxide emissions, and high early strength, sulfoaluminate cement (SAC) is a low-carbon ecological building material.

Low-carbon ecological cement composites are among the most promising construction materials. With low energy consumption, low carbon dioxide emissions, and high early strength, sulfoaluminate cement (SAC) is a low-carbon ecological building material. In addition, graphene nanoplates (GNPs) exhibit excellent performances. In this study, GNPs were dispersed by a combination of dispersant and ultrasonic treatment, and the dispersion effect of GNPs was characterized. The effect of GNPs on the hydration process and products of SAC was studied, revealing that GNPs accelerate SAC hydration. The hydration heat and ICP results showed that in the SAC hydrolysis stage, C4A3Š (ye’elimite) hydrolyzed and released Ca2+. GNPs absorbed the Ca2+, and the Ca2+ concentration around C4A3Š decreased, which would promote the hydrolysis of C4A3Š and release more Ca2+, accelerating the hydration of SAC and the nucleation effect of GNPs, and providing sites for the formation of hydration products. The analysis of XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) and TGA (Thermal Gravity Analysis) showed that GNPs promoted the hydration of SAC and formed more AFt (ettringite) and AH3 (gibbsite). The generated hydration products fill the pores of the matrix and are closely connected to the GNPs to form a whole, which improves the cement matrix’s mechanical properties. Full article
