Embodiment
In order to make purpose of the present invention, technical scheme and advantage clearer,, the present invention is further elaborated below in conjunction with drawings and Examples.Should be appreciated that specific embodiment described herein only in order to explanation the present invention, and be not used in qualification the present invention.
See also Fig. 1, the flow process of manufacture method of the carbon nano-tube cold cathode of the embodiment of the invention is shown, comprise the steps:
S01: the metal powder that will provide, carbon nano-tube are mixed with organic binder bond, stir, and form the carbon nano-tube slurry, and wherein melting point metal is 150 ℃~600 ℃;
S02: the carbon nano-tube slurry is formed on the substrate by silk screen printing;
S03: the substrate that will print back carbon nanotubes slurry makes volatilization of metal molten and organic binder bond or decomposition at the above temperature sintering of the fusing point of used metal, after the cooling, forms described carbon nano-tube cold cathode.
Among the step S01, the material of metal powder is selected from least a in Sn, Bi, In, Tl, Sn alloy, Bi alloy, In alloy, the Tl alloy.Wherein each metal alloy can be at least a in Sn-Cu alloy, Sn-Ag alloy, Sn-Pb alloy, Sn-Zn alloy, In-Ag alloy, In-Zn alloy, In-Pb alloy, In-Cu alloy, Bi-Cu alloy, Bi-Ag alloy, Bi-Pb alloy or the Bi-Zn alloy for example.The fusing point of these metal or alloy is in 150 ℃~600 ℃ scopes.For example, the fusing point of Sn is 231.89 ℃, and the fusing point of Bi is 271.3 ℃, the fusing point of In is 156.61 ℃, and the fusing point of Tl is 303.5 ℃, and the fusing point of Sn alloy is at 210 ℃~230 ℃, the melting range of Bi alloy is 220~262 ℃, and the melting range of In alloy is 160~180 ℃.Be understandable that the melting range of above-mentioned each metal alloy is not limited to this only as an example.The metal or alloy of present embodiment adopts low-melting-point metal or alloy, for example is preferably fusing point 150 ℃~350 ℃ material.Further, when adopting the alloy material, can adopt low-melting alloy, promptly fusing point is lower than 232 ℃ alloy.By adopting this low melting point material, can reduce manufacturing cost on the one hand, can avoid the adverse effect of high temperature on the other hand to substrate and dependency structure (conductive coating structure that for example relates to later) thereof etc., for example when adopting glass substrate, temperature Gao Shihui makes the softening even fusion of substrate, destroys its original structure shape.
The grain diameter of metal powder is 5 nanometers~300 micron, is specifically as follows 50 nanometers~2 micron.By adopting this powdered metal particles, because size is little even be nano-grade size, can promote its fusion on the one hand, accelerate fusion speed, can make that on the other hand metal powder and carbon nano-tube and organic binder bond mix, and when sintered molten or fusing, make metallic can be scattered in the carbon nano-tube particulate equably, carbon nano-tube comes out more equably after fusion, thereby improves electric conductivity and electron emission capability, and the uniform and stable property that increases the electronics emission.
Carbon nano-tube is preferably Single Walled Carbon Nanotube, multi-walled carbon nano-tubes, many walls ordered carbon nanotube, at least a through in the carbon nano-tube of modifying or the array carbon nano-tube.Carbon nano-tube has higher draw ratio, and big field enhancement factor helps the emission of electronics, has fabulous field-causing electron emission effect.Wherein, the diameter of Single Walled Carbon Nanotube only has 1~2 nanometer usually, length can reach tens to microns up to a hundred, draw ratio is very big, and its structural intergrity is good, and conductivity is fine, stable chemical performance, the basic structural feature that has possessed the high-performance field emmision material, but the preparation of Single Walled Carbon Nanotube and dispersion are difficult.Using more at present is multi-walled carbon nano-tubes or many walls ordered carbon nanotube.In through the carbon nano-tube or array carbon nano-tube of modifying, can adopt the organic decoration mode, for example adopt hydroxyl, carboxyl or other substituting group form carbon nano-tube modified, perhaps carbon nano-tube is carried out macromolecular grafted modification, can strengthen its electrophilic performance and with the adhesion of organic principle, help the dispersion of carbon nano-tube, for example carbon nano-tube that process is modified in the present embodiment or array carbon nano-tube and organic binder bond adhesion are stronger, promote it to be uniformly dispersed.
This organic binder bond is selected the material that volatilizees or decompose for use under metal powder fusing point or sintering temperature, be that the volatilization of organic binder bond or decomposition temperature and metal powder fusing point are approaching, can be lower than the metal powder fusing point, for example can be the organic carrier of ethyl cellulose, terpinol, butyl carbitol acetate fat and ethyl lactate mixed preparing or the organic carrier of ethyl cellulose, terpinol, butyl carbitol and tributyl citrate mixed preparing, but be not limited to the organic binder bond of above dual mode preparation.Organic binder bond is mainly used in carbon nano-tube and substrate and metal powder is combined, in preparation process, make carbon nano-tube and metal powder mix, sintering time volatilization or divide and take off in the back then, so that carbon nano-tube is solidificated in the metal powder, and there is the part carbon nano-tube to be exposed to the surface of metal powder, improves electron emission capability.
In this mixed process, also available supersonic oscillations raw material in the time of stirring because carbon nano-tube is nanometer materials, is easily reunited, and therefore adopts supersonic oscillations to help its dispersing and mixing.The supersonic oscillations incorporation time can be for example 30 minutes-12 hours.Particularly, this mixed process can be carried out in two steps, earlier carbon nanometer tube material was mixed stirring and sonic oscillation 30 minutes-12 hours with organic binder bond, mix, again metal powder is joined in the mixture of front carbon nanometer tube material and organic binder bond, stir and ultrasonic 30 minutes-2 hours, form the carbon nano-tube slurry.By this substep mixed form, can avoid the formation earlier of carbon nano-tube and metal powder to reunite and be difficult to disperses, earlier carbon nanometer tube material is mixed with organic binder bond, can make carbon nano-tube in organic binder bond, disperse in advance earlier, and then when mixing, can not only avoid above-mentioned reunion situation, and can improve degree of scatter between carbon nano-tube and metal powder with metal powder, it is more even that they are disperseed, and dispersion degree is higher.
During mixing, metal powder, carbon nano-tube and organic binder bond three's mixing quality ratio can be (2~15): (5~20): (0.5~3), be that metal powder and carbon nano-tube mixing quality ratio are 1: 10 to 3: 1, carbon nano-tube and organic binder bond mixing quality ratio are 5: 3 to 20: 0.5.
Among the step S02, substrate 10 can have the substrate of conductive structure for one, or comprises substrate and be formed at the composite substrate of suprabasil conductive layer.The substrate material can be glass, pottery, silicon chip or metal.Wherein, the conductive material of conductive structure or conductive layer is selected from ITO, metal or composite conducting material in the substrate, conducting metal can be but be not limited to chromium, aluminium, conductive silver paste etc., and composite conducting material can be a conductive polymeric composite etc., and conductive structure can be the composite conducting structure.When substrate was used composite substrate, conductive layer can be but be not limited to the metal level of ITO layer and chromium, aluminium, conductive silver paste etc.The thickness of conductive layer is preferably 20 nanometers~200 micron, and conductive layer can be a full wafer, also can be list structure, can decide according to the actual requirements.
When employing has the substrate of conductive structure, directly the carbon nano-tube slurry is formed on this substrate by silk screen printing.When comprising, employing the compound substrate of conductive layer can in substrate, prepare conductive layer earlier.See also Fig. 2, Fig. 2 (a) shows the compound substrate 10 that comprises conductive layer 12.Conductive layer 12 can adopt film preparing technology to be formed on the clean substrate of glass 11, shown in Fig. 2 (a).Film preparing technology for example can be but be not limited to sol-gel process, chemical vapour deposition technique, molecular beam epitaxy, pulsed laser deposition sedimentation, magnetron sputtering method etc.
In addition, before forming conductive layer 12 on the substrate of glass 11, earlier the surface of substrate of glass 11 is handled, for example, sheet glass was put into acetone, ethanol, deionized water ultrasonic 5-60 minute respectively successively, dry or dry up, adopt the sputter coating machine with magnetic control again and on sheet glass, deposit the full wafer metal film at the predetermined thick end as conductive layer 12 with inert gas.
Among the step S02, after obtaining substrate, with screen printing technique the carbon nano-tube slurry is applied and to be formed on the substrate, be specially and be formed on substrate conductive structure or the conductive layer 12, present embodiment is an example with the substrate 10 that comprises conductive layer 12.Shown in Fig. 2 (b), during silk screen printing, will be installed on the screen process press according to the web plate 13 of requirements set earlier, on conductive layer 12, scraper 15 can be along same direction blade coating carbon nano-tube slurry 14 with carbon nano-tube slurry 14 blade coatings for usefulness scraper 15.Wherein, web plate 13 pre-set mesh size and distribution situations, for example, it for example can be forms such as array distribution or circular ring type distribution that mesh size 100 orders~500 orders, mesh distribute, and specifically decides according to the actual product demand.After installing web plate 13, the carbon nano-tube slurry 14 that has mixed metal powder and organic binder bond is poured on the web plate 13, the carbon nano-tube slurry 14 on the blade coating web plate 13 is shown in Fig. 2 (c).When blade coating,, carbon nano-tube slurry 14 is printed on the substrate 10 by regulating the angle of inclination and the dynamics of scraper 15.As Fig. 2 (d)) shown in, remove web plate 13 after, promptly localization has formed carbon nano-tube emitter on substrate 10.
Step S03 is a sintering step, for example by the sintering curing carbon nano-tube, and removes organic binder bond.Through the step S02 of front, on substrate 10, prepared the mixture of metallic particles and carbon nano-tube, i.e. the mixture of carbon nano-tube slurry 14 formations.This mixture is carried out sintering in the above temperature of the fusing point of used metal, and the temperature of sintering is higher than the fusing point of selected metallic particles, and sintering range also can specifically be decided according to metal species that is adopted and organic carrier for 150~600 ℃.Specifically the fusing point of the metallic particles that sintering temperature can be selected relatively is high 50 ℃-300 ℃, is preferably 100 ℃-200 ℃.For example, when adopting In metal or its alloy, sintering temperature can be chosen in 160 ℃ of-180 ℃ of lower temperature, but consider and thoroughly remove and divide and take off organic carrier that sintering temperature is chosen in 180 ℃-300 ℃, concrete as during with the In metal, sintering temperature can be 160 ℃, when adopting the In-Ag alloy, sintering temperature can be 180 ℃, other and the like.In addition; also can select corresponding sintering atmosphere as required; sintering atmosphere can be aeriferous protective atmosphere (as air), nitrogen or inert gas; when adopting nitrogen or inert gas; the sintering that helps carbon nano-tube slurry 14, nitrogen or inert gas atmosphere can not produce change to the performance and the structure of carbon nano-tube substantially, for example; when carbon nano-tube adopts the carbon nano-tube material of modifying, adopt nitrogen or inert gas atmosphere especially favourable.
During concrete sintering, the control sintering temperature is constant, under the constant temperature in heating furnace sintering 15 minutes~8 hours, be preferably 30 minutes-2 hours, this moment, organic carrier can thoroughly decompose.Arrive predetermined sintering temperature according to a temperature programming process, for example, be warmed up to predetermined temperature, like this, can prevent to heat up too fast and performance and structure destroying carbon nanometer tube with the heating rate of 15 ℃/min.In sintering process, organic binder bond volatilization or branch are taken off, and expose metal powder and carbon nano-tube.
Sintering cooled after the scheduled time, can be natural cooling, for example cooled to room temperature with the furnace.Through behind the abundant sintering, because organic adhesive volatilization or branch are taken off, the metal powder fusing, after the cooling, metal powder and carbon nano-tube sinter piece into, and metal powder is formed bulk in other words, form array or dot matrix metal derby 16, carbon nano-tube is solidificated in the metal derby 16, and has part carbon nano-tube 18 to be exposed to outside the surface 17 of metal derby 16, shown in Fig. 2 (e).This is exposed to outer carbon nano-tube 18 as emitter, forms cold cathode 100 with metal derby 16 and substrate 10, shown in Fig. 2 (e).
Like this, metal derby 16 and substrate 10, for example combine closely, contact closely with the conductive structure or the conductive layer of substrate 10, thereby improved the electric conductivity of cold cathode, and make the carbon nano-tube brute force be attached on the substrate, and allow carbon nano-tube come out, and reduced the resistance between carbon nano-tube 18 emitters and the conductive layer 12, improved carbon nano-tube 18 emitting performances.And this screen printing technique is suitable for industrialized mass production, reduces manufacturing cost, is beneficial to large-area applications.
The manufacture method of above-mentioned carbon nano-tube cold cathode can be used for making various vacuum electronics source array, main application examples such as Field Emission Display, field emission light source, travelling wave tube or transducer etc.Be example with the feds below, see also Fig. 3, the feds 200 of the cold cathode with above-mentioned manufacture method acquisition is shown.This feds 200 also comprises slider 24 and anode 20 except comprising cold cathode 100, anode 20 comprises glass substrate 21 and the fluorescent material 23 that is formed on the glass substrate 21.Slider 24 also is referred to as divider wall or supporter sometimes, and it is supported between cold cathode 100 and the anode 20, and is surrounded on around carbon nano-tube 18 emission arrays of cold cathode 100, constitutes confined space with cold cathode 100, anode 20.
When this feds 200 is made and is encapsulated, at first can obtain carbon nano-tube cold cathode 100 according to the manufacture method of above-mentioned carbon nano-tube cold cathode, form anode 20 again, be supported between cold cathode 100 and the anode 20 with slider 24 then, and with seal, sealing materials such as low glass powders with three's sealed attachment and vacuumizing and exhausting sealed-off, and then the assembling driving power, thereby obtain feds 200.
When these feds 200 work, under high voltage, be exposed to outer carbon nano-tube 18 and launch electronics, the fluorescent material 23 of bombardment anode 20 makes fluorescent material 23 send the light of pre-color, forms demonstration or illumination.Because in the cold cathode 100 of present embodiment, carbon nano-tube 18 is strong with substrate 10 adhesions, thereby carbon nano-tube 18 can be born high voltage and do not come off, and carbon nano-tube 18 is solidificated in the metal derby 16, help reducing resistance, improve current density, can suitably reduce the voltage that puts on the cold cathode 100, cut down the consumption of energy.In addition, in carbon nano-tube 18 emitting electrons processes, because carbon nano-tube 18 is solidificated in the metal derby 16, the heat that produces can be transmitted to conductive layer by metal derby 16 rapidly and be derived by substrate, substrate this moment can be adopted heat conductivility pottery or metal material preferably, thereby improves the useful life of cold cathode 100 and feds 200.
Below illustrate the manufacture method detailed process of carbon nano-tube cold cathode by instantiation.
