Background technology
Multi-walled carbon nano-tubes (Multi-walled carbon nanotubes, MWCNTs) and Single Walled Carbon Nanotube (Single-walled carbon nanotubes is found respectively from 1991 and 1993.SWC-NTs) since, the character such as electricity, optics, mechanics, thermodynamics due to its uniqueness receives the extensive concern of each subject, but dispersiveness limited in all kinds of SOLVENTS and solvability limit its investigation and application to a certain extent.Therefore, one of important content in carbon nanotube research field is become to the exploration of carbon nanotube dispersed performance.By covalency and non-covalent method, it is modified, effectively can improve the dispersing property of carbon nanotube.Be introduce carboxyl on carbon nanotube port and sidewall rhythm defect covalent approach (as strong acid oxidation style), the reactions such as recycling neutralization, acidylate, addition connect various group (as: alkyl chain, organic amine etc.) thereon.Not only can be improved the solvability of carbon nanotube by covalent modification, and its chemical property and range of application are also enriched in the introducing of various functionalization group.Carbon nanotube is being carried out in the research of chemically modified, mostly be adopt to generate carboxylated carbon nanotube under the effect of the strong oxidizer such as strong acid, nitration mixture, this method acutely easily causes the damage of carbon nanotube because of reaction conditions, and carbon nanotube is ruptured, long than reducing.Adopt pulse discharge method to prepare hydroxylated carbon nanotube, the introducing of hydroxyl changes the polarity of carbon nano tube surface, and what reduce between tube and tube is towering. and towering effect, enhances its wetting ability.The method reaction conditions is gentleer, and the structure of carbon nanotube can not be destroyed.But this method output is lower, is unsuitable for suitability for industrialized production.Non-covalent approach is then do not changing on the basis of carbon nanotube structure, utilizes towering. towering accumulation, electronics supply. by effect, hydrophilic-hydrophobic effect etc., solubility organic macromolecule, superpolymer are wrapped in the surface of carbon nanotube, to reach the object of solubilising.In non-covalent approach, utilize high molecular polymer polyvinylpyrrolidone (Polyvinylpyrrolidone, PVP) to wrap up SWCNTs, effectively can strengthen that it is water-soluble.The method has the advantages such as simple to operate, with low cost.Covalent modification and non-covalent modification respectively have its feature, change in the research of flight of steps leading to a palace hall solubilising play respective advantage at carbon nanotube.
So the research of low cost, functionalization capable of being industrialized and solubilizing method receives to be paid close attention to widely.
Summary of the invention
The present invention adopts PVP to wrap up MWC-NTols, the obtained hydroxylation multi-walled carbon nano-tubes (PVP-MWCNTols) through PVP parcel.After non-covalent package action, further enhancing the solubility property of multi-walled carbon nano-tubes in water.This method is simple, reaction conditions is gentleer, and dispersion product is stablized, have low cost, can the advantage such as industrialization.
The object of this invention is to provide a kind of preparation method of water-soluble multi-wall carbon nanotube.

(2) PVP wraps up the preparation of hydroxylation multi-walled carbon nano-tubes (PVP-MWC-NTols)
Joined in the massfraction 1%SDS aqueous solution by multi-walled carbon nano-tubes (MWCNTols) after hydroxyl modified, add PVP after ultrasonic disperse, 50 DEG C of lower magnetic forces stir and wrap up MWCNTols.Solution centrifugal after parcel is separated, and will be deposited in bottom centrifuge tube by the MWCNTols that PVP wraps up, and still be resided in solution by the MWCNTols that PVP wraps up.Solid-liquid separation, a certain amount of dehydrated alcohol is added in solution, stir and leave standstill in a moment, after disperseing sample in the solution to reassemble, centrifugation, remove upper solution, repeat this operation with the SDS removing carbon nano tube surface and remain and the PVP combined loosely, the 90 DEG C of oven dry of gained solid can be obtained product---the hydroxylation multi-walled carbon nano-tubes (PVP-MWCNTols) after PVP parcel.
