The content of the invention
In order to overcome above-mentioned deficiency, the invention provides a kind of method for disperseing SWCN in a mild condition,
To overcome the shortcoming of functionalization destroying carbon nanometer tube structure.The present invention combines powered SWCN in aprotic solvent
Spontaneous dissolving and polymer cladding and osmotic technique to SWCN, realize the dispersed of CNT.Keep away
Ultrasound or destruction of the covalent functionalization to complete carbon nano tube structure are exempted from so that SWCN Surface coating water solubility
Macromolecular compound, so as to reach dispersion of the SWCN in water.
To achieve these goals, the present invention is adopted the following technical scheme that:
A kind of SWCN homodisperse method in aqueous solvent, including:
SWCN is surface-treated using sodium-naphthalene solution, obtains powered SWCN;
Make the powered SWCN self-dispersing carry out coating to which in polar solvent, using covering, dialysis,
Obtain final product the SWCN aqueous solution.
Due to most inorganic agent, covalent functionalization can be produced to carbon pipe, so as to the original performance of destroying carbon nanometer tube.
Therefore, the present invention carries out Large-scale Screening to existing inorganic agent, finds:Using sodium-naphthalin treatment solution to CNT at
During reason, due to the chemical inertness of CNT itself, there is no chemical reaction and polarization base in its tube wall with sodium-naphthalin treatment solution
Group.And CNT can only be made positively charged, generate [Na (THF)]nNT (sodium-tetrahydrofuran-CNT) colloidal sol, these bands
Repulsive force between electrical carbon nanotube is the basis that CNT thermoplastic polymer forms colloidal sol.The CNT of this thermoplastic polymer
Concentration in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) can reach 0.4mg/g.
On the other hand, the stability based on the carbon pipe colloidal sol for preparing, the present invention have been selected the PVP of non-electrolyte to coat point
Scattered CNT, the aggregation without causing carbon pipe, it is to avoid carbon nanotube sol occurs coagulation under electrolyte effect.Together
When, as PVP had both been dissolved in water, organic solvent dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is dissolved in again, therefore is adapted to dialysis, it is stable in not destroying carbon nanometer tube
Property on the premise of, the solvent of CNT that PVP is coated is switched to water phase from organic phase.
Preferably, in the sodium-naphthalene solution and SWCN, sodium, naphthalene, the mass ratio of SWCN are 0.07
~00.9:0.384~0.4:0.2~0.24.When the mass ratio of naphthalene, SWCN is more than 2, excessive anion freedom
Base is easily assembled with positively charged CNT, destruction Na (THF)]nNT (sodium-tetrahydrofuran-CNT) colloidal sols are stablized
Property;When the mass ratio of naphthalene, SWCN is less than 1.6, the repulsive force between CNT is less, molten in polar solvent
Solution property declines.
Preferably, the powered SWCN and the mass ratio of covering are 1~10:10~1.When single wall carbon is received
When the ratio of mitron and covering is more than 10, the stability of CNT declines, easily assembles, and dialysis effect is poor;When single wall carbon is received
When the ratio of mitron and covering is less than 1/10, continue to increase covering ratio, to CNT, in water, dissolubility is lifted not
Greatly.
Preferably, the polar solvent is dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), chloroform, dichloromethane or aromatic solvent.
Preferably, the covering is not only to be dissolved in organic solvent but also is dissolved in the polymer overmold agent of water.
It is furthermore preferred that the polymer overmold agent is polyvinylpyrrolidone PVP, poly- (propionyl ethylenimine -co- Asia
Ethyl ethamine) PPEI-EI or polyvinylsulfonic acid salt.
Preferably, without the need for ultrasonically treated in each step of methods described.
Preferably, the dialysis is processed makes the solvent of SWCN change into water by organic solvent.
Present invention also offers the homodisperse method of one kind preferably SWCN, comprises the steps:
1) in the glove box of nitrogen protection, 0.384g naphthalenes and 0.07g sodium are dissolved in into 100 milliliters of tetrahydrofurans, are acutely stirred
Mixing makes all solids all dissolve.
2) about 200mg SWCNs (HiPco, NanoIntegris, USA) are added into above-mentioned naphthyl sodium solution, is stirred
After mixing 12 hours, filter, and rinsed to efflux as colourless with tetrahydrofuran.
3), after being vacuum dried, the SWCN after 20mg is processed is placed in 50mL dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)s, stirring and dissolving.
4) by 50mg polyvinylpyrrolidone (molecular weight:90, in 000) adding the dimethyl sulphoxide solution of carbon pipe, stirring
To being completely dissolved.
5) solution of carbon pipe is taken out from glove box, is exposed in air, imported pellicle bag, be placed in and fill distilled water
Beaker in dialysis, and repeatedly change distilled water.The uniform SWCN aqueous solution is obtained after the completion of dialysis.
First under inert atmosphere protection, carbon nano tube surface all positively chargeds are made using the tetrahydrofuran solution of sodium naphthalene
Lotus, makes carbon nano-tube bundle thermoplastic polymer in dimethyl sulfoxide solvent with the repulsive force between electrical carbon pipe.It is subsequently adding polyethylene
Pyrrolidones protection loses the carbon pipe of electric charge in air atmosphere and is allowed to keep dispersity.The method of dialysis is recycled to make to gather
The dispersion solvent of the SWCN of vinylpyrrolidone cladding is converted to water by dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).
Present invention also offers the SWCN aqueous solution prepared by the above-mentioned method of any one.The carbon nanometer of the present invention
The concentration of pipe, substantially can with retainer belt electrical carbon nanotube dimethyl sulfoxide concentration, both 0.4mg/g, more than common CNT
Solubility.Certainly, as the dispersion of CNT is built upon on the basis with electrical carbon pipe of thermoplastic polymer, therefore,
It is dispersed more preferable, just as the characterization result of AFM (Fig. 3) and transmission electron microscope (Fig. 4) shows.
Present invention also offers the above-mentioned SWCN aqueous solution is being prepared in field emission display, nanoelectronic
Application in device, super-strength composite.
Beneficial effects of the present invention
(1) principle of the invention be based primarily upon powered SWCN can thermoplastic polymer in organic solvent, and
Using being not only dissolved in organic solvent but also be dissolved in the non ionic polymer compound carbon coated pipe of water, and with reference to the method for dialysis, reach
SWCN in a solvent dispersed and the structure of CNT and performance are substantially unaffected.
(2) present invention, avoiding the ultrasound and covalent functionalization damaged to carbon tubular construction so that complete carbon nanometer
The pipe surface grafting group of functionalization, realizes the solubility of SWCN, while also maintaining single walled carbon nanotubes sheet
The structural intergrity of body and the characteristic of itself.The present invention is simple, it is easy to carry out large-scale industrial production.
(3) preparation method of the present invention is simple, dissolution rate is high, practical, it is easy to promote.
