(i) form precursor mixture
By selection carbon precursor, and make a large amount of catalytic templating nanoparticulate dispersed in the carbon precursor, form precursor mixture.
The material with carbon element of any kind can be used as carbon precursor of the present invention, as long as this material with carbon element can disperse template particles, and can get final product in carbonization around the template particles when heat treatment.The example of suitable polymerizable carbon precursor comprises resorcinol-formaldehyde gel, resorcinol, phenol resin, melamine-formaldehyde gel, poly furfuryl alcohol, polyacrylonitrile, sucrose, asphalt etc.Other polymerisable benzene, quinone and similar compounds also can be used as the carbon precursor, and are well known by persons skilled in the art.In an illustrative embodiments, but the carbon precursor is the organic compound of hydrothermal solution polymerization.This suitable class organic compound comprises citric acid, acrylic acid, benzoic acid, acrylate, butadiene, styrene, cinnamic acid etc.
The catalytic templating nano particle that is dispersed in the carbon precursor can several different modes provide.The template nano particle can form (being original position) in the carbon precursor, perhaps form in independent reactant mixture, mixes with the carbon precursor then.In some cases, the formation of particle can partly be carried out in independent reaction, mixes in the carbon precursor and/or heats (for example, when the precursor polymeric step begins) time and finish when template particles then.Also can use the dispersant of the granuloplastic one or more aspects of control to form the template nano particle, perhaps make the template nano particle by slaine.
In one embodiment, the template nano particle is formed by slaine in the carbon precursor.In this embodiment, form the template nano particle by selecting one or more catalyst metal salts that can mix with the carbon precursor.Slaine mixes with the carbon precursor, lets alone or make its original position formation nano particle then.
In another embodiment, use dispersant to form template particles (original position or ex situ), with the formation of control particle.In this embodiment, select the dispersant of catalyst atoms He one or more types of one or more types.Described dispersant is selected, had the formation of the nanocatalyst particle of required stability, size and/or homogeneity with promotion.Dispersant in the scope of the invention comprises various little organic molecules, polymer and oligomer.This dispersant can or be dispersed in suitable solvent or the catalyst atoms in the carrier with dissolving and interact and combine, these interactions and combination can be finished by various mechanism, comprise ionic bond, covalent bond, Van der Waals force interaction/combination, lone pair electrons combination or hydrogen bond.
Make catalyst atoms (for example ground state metal or metallic salt form) and dispersant (for example, carboxylic acid or its salt form) reaction or combination form catalyst complex.Catalyst complex is generally by earlier being dissolved in catalyst atoms and dispersant in the suitable solvent, catalyst atoms being combined with dispersant molecule form.Various components can any order or combining form make up or mix.In addition, a part of component can be before adding other component first premix, perhaps all combinations mix simultaneously.
In an embodiment of the invention, mix by the component that will be used for template particles and let alone or made it in about 1 hour to about 14 days and form nano particle.This mixing is carried out under about 0 ℃ to 200 ℃ temperature usually.In one embodiment, this temperature is no more than 100 ℃.Also can use reagent to cause particle to form.For example, in some cases, cause particle or midbody particle to form by advertising the solution of hydrogen by catalyst complex.
The polymerization and/or the carbonization of template nano particle energy catalyzed carbon precursor of the present invention.The concentration of catalytic templating nano particle in the carbon precursor will be selected usually, so that the carbon nano-structured number maximization that forms.Can be according to the amount of the type adjustment catalytic templating particle of the carbon precursor that uses.In an illustrative embodiments, the mol ratio of carbon precursor and catalyst atoms is about 0.1:1 to about 100:1, is more preferably 1:1 to 30:1.The appropriate catalyst examples of material comprises iron, cobalt, nickel etc.
(ii) make precursor mixture generation polymerization
Usually make precursor mixture solidify adequate time, it is carbon nano-structured to form a plurality of intermediates like this around the template nano particle.Because the template nano particle is a catalytic activity, the polymerization near the carbon precursor on template particles surface can preferentially be accelerated and/or cause to the template nano particle.
Forming the intermediate required time of nanostructured depends on the type of the carbon precursor of the pH value of the type of temperature, catalyst material and concentration, solution and use.In polymerization process, intermediate is carbon nano-structured can be the aggregation (association) of organic structure or nanostructured independently, and the aggregation of these nanostructureds is in carbonization and/or remove in the process of amorphous carbon and divide.
Add ammonia and regulate the pH value, can accelerate the speed of polymerization and increase crosslinked amount takes place between the precursor molecule, thereby also can be used for promoting polymerisation.
But for the carbon precursor of hydrothermal solution polymerization, polymerisation is carried out under higher temperature usually.One preferred embodiment in, with the carbon precursor be heated to about 0 ℃ to about 200 ℃ temperature, more preferably be heated to about 25 ℃ to about 120 ℃ temperature.
The example of the appropraite condition of resorcinol-formaldehyde gel (for example contain the iron particle, the pH value of solution value is 1-14) polymerization reaction take place is that solution temperature is 0 ℃ to 90 ℃, and be less than 1 hour to about 72 hours hardening time.Those skilled in the art determine to solidify the required condition of other carbon precursor easily under identical or different parameter.
In one embodiment, not allowing polymerisation last till reacts completely.Before the complete soln polymerization, stop solidification process and help to form a plurality of intermediate nanostructureds, will obtain independently nanostructured, rather than whole group's char-forming material.But the present invention includes following embodiment: it is carbon nano-structured that the carbon precursor forms a plurality of intermediates, and these intermediates are carbon nano-structured to interconnect or the part connection.In this embodiment, in carbonization and/or remove in the process of amorphous carbon and form independently nanostructured.
Forming intermediate by the dispersion of template nano particle, carbon nano-structured to cause forming a plurality of intermediates with unique shape and size carbon nano-structured.At last, the character of nanostructured depends on the shape and size that intermediate is carbon nano-structured at least in part.Have unique shape and size because intermediate is carbon nano-structured, so final nanostructured has favorable properties, for example high surface and high porosity etc.
(iii) carbonization precursor mixture
Make the precursor mixture carbonization by heating, form the intermediate material with carbon element comprise a plurality of carbon nano-structured, amorphous carbon and catalyst metals.Can make this mixture carbonization to about 2500 ℃ temperature by precursor mixture being heated to about 500 ℃.In this heating process, intermediate nanostructured (or the carbon around the template nano particle) is perhaps otherwise left in the volatilization of the atom of oxygen and nitrogen and so on, and carbon atom rearranges or be coalescent, forms the carbon back structure.
Carburising step produces the graphite based nanometer structure usually.Carbon atom in the graphite based nanometer structure is with sp 2The form of hydridization carbon atom is arranged in the structuring lamella.Graphite linings can provide uniqueness and favorable properties, for example electric conductivity and structural strength and/or rigidity.
(iv) purify intermediates material with carbon element
Come the purify intermediates material with carbon element by removing the non-graphite amorphous carbon of at least a portion.This purification step has improved carbon nano-structured weight percentage in the intermediate material with carbon element.
This amorphous carbon is removed by carbon is carried out oxidation usually.The oxidant that is used to remove amorphous carbon is selected, so that the key oxidation in the non-graphite amorphous carbon, but this oxidant is not strong to the activity of the π key in the graphitic carbon nano structure.Can be by in one or more continuous purification steps, applying oxidant or mixture is removed amorphous carbon.The reagent that is used to remove amorphous carbon comprises oxidizing acid and oxidant, and their mixture.The example that is applicable to the mixture of removing amorphous carbon comprises sulfuric acid, KMnO 4, H 2O 2, 5M or the above HNO of 5M 3And chloroazotic acid.
Randomly, can remove or remove a part of catalytic metal substantially.Whether remove degree that catalytic metal and catalytic metal remove and will depend on the required application of carbon nanomaterial.In some embodiments of the present invention, having the metal of iron and so on is favourable for some electrical properties and/or magnetic property are provided.Perhaps, need remove catalytic metal and the target application of material be caused adverse effect to prevent catalytic metal.Remove the catalytic templating particle and also can improve porosity, and/or reduce its density.
Usually, use acid or alkali (for example nitric acid, hydrogen fluoride or NaOH) to remove the template nano particle.The method of removing template nano particle or amorphous carbon depends on the type of template nano particle in the compound or catalyst atoms.Usually by being refluxed, composite nanostructure removed catalyst atoms or particle (for example, iron particle or atom) in about 3-6 hour in the 5.0M salpeter solution.
Can use any removal method to remove template nano particle and/or amorphous carbon, as long as this is removed process and can not destroy carbon nano-structured fully.In some cases, it is useful removing some carbonaceous materials at least in part from the intermediate nanostructured in purge process.
In this purge process, oxidant and acid tend to introduce hydrogen ion and oxide group on the surface of carbonaceous material, such as but not limited to carboxylate radical, carbonyl and/or ether.It is believed that functional group can be in carbon nano-structured, with the surface of carbon nano-structured graphite that mixes and/or residual non-graphite amorphous carbon on.
(v) remove the functional group of intermediate carbon material surface
Randomly, can use heat treatment step and/or neutralization bases to remove functional group on the intermediate carbon material surface.Remove surface functional group and/or in and the step of surface functional group usually remove and/or in and functional group can improve carbon nanomaterial dispersed in polymeric material and/or improve in the situation of composite character and carry out.
Can use heat treatment step to remove functional group on the intermediate carbon material surface.Heat treatment step can advantageously carry out under the temperature of selecting, and the concrete functional group that need remove is depended in the selection of temperature.Usually, heat treated temperature is high more, and the type of the functional group that can remove is many more.Heat treatment step after the purifying can be about more than 100 ℃, more preferably from about more than 200 ℃, most preferably from about carry out under the temperature more than 500 ℃.
Randomly, the heat treatment after the purifying can be carried out under the temperature of the carbonization that is enough to carry out amorphous carbon.Surprisingly, behind purifying the intermediate material with carbon element being heated to carburizing temperature can advantageously make considerable residual amorphous carbon be converted into graphite.Have been found that by remove considerable amorphous carbon in purification step, make the material carbonization of purifying then, remaining carbon can more easily be converted into graphite.
The graphite that forms in this second carburising step can join carbon nano-structured, carbon nano-structured secondary structure (for example botryoidalis aggregate of nanosphere), and perhaps this graphite can be and the carbon nano-structured free graphite that mixes.Make remaining amorphous carbon be converted into the graphite purity that graphite can obviously improve carbon nanomaterial.Compare with the effort of attempting the purity of realization par in single carburising step, use two step carbonization methods of the present invention can more effectively produce the high purity carbon nano material.
In another embodiment, perhaps except extra heat treatment step, can use nertralizer to remove some functional groups in the intermediate material with carbon element, such as but not limited to the hydrogen ion group.In this embodiment, intermediary material is mixed with the solution that comprises one or more nertralizers.Suitable alkali comprises hydroxide, comprises NaOH and potassium hydroxide, ammonia, lithium acetate, sodium acetate, potassium acetate, NaHCO 3, KHCO 3, Na 2CO 3, K 2CO 3Deng, and the combination of these alkali.The reaction of alkali and hydrogen ion group can form the accessory substance that can remove by washing.
In one embodiment, by being immersed in, the intermediate material with carbon element removes functional group in the cleaning solution.Can in cleaning solution, add alkali extraly, reach required more neutral pH value up to pH.In one embodiment, the cleaning solution pH that neutralizes is about 5.0-8.0, perhaps is about 6.0-7.5.
