Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of new materials, and particularly relates to a preparation device and a process method of a single-walled carbon nanotube.
Background
According to the theory of the growth mechanism of the single-walled carbon nanotube, the size of the catalyst is generally considered to be decisive for the growth of the single-walled carbon nanotube, so that how to obtain the catalyst with small, uniform and stable size is a prerequisite for the preparation of the single-walled carbon nanotube. In order to avoid the aggregation and growth of the catalyst particles in a high-temperature environment, an inorganic carrier can be adopted, the catalyst particles are adsorbed or filled in pores or interlayer gaps of a carrier material, and the growth of the catalyst particles is restrained through a physical space. QW Li uses light magnesium oxide as a carrier, an iron catalyst is adsorbed on the surface of the QW Li, and a conventional chemical vapor deposition method is adopted to prepare the single-wall carbon nano tube (Li Qingwen, Yan Hao, Cheng Yan, Zhang Jin, Liu Zhongfan, A scalable CVD synthesis of high purity single-walled carbon nanotubes with porous MgO as support material, J. Mater. chem., 2002, 12, 1179-1183). The Weifei team of the Qinghua university reports that vermiculite and layered double-metal hydroxide templates are used as carriers, metal iron particles are loaded in lamellar gaps, and a fluidized bed technology is used for preparing the single-walled carbon nanotube. (Meng-Qiang ZHao, Qiang Zhang, Jia-Qi Huang, sting-Qi Nie, Fei Wei, layer double hydroxide as catalysts for the effect growth of high quality single-walled Carbon nanotubes in a fluidized bed reactor, Carbon 48 (2010) 3260) 3270). The invention of Chinese patent CN201811447415.8 discloses a method for preparing single-walled carbon nanotubes by a floating chemical method, which takes diluted solution of organic metal compounds such as ferrocene and the like as a catalyst to be injected into a reactor, and is a preparation method of single-walled carbon nanotubes without carriers. However, the methods have common problems that the methods are only suitable for preparing the single-walled carbon nanotubes under the condition of low catalyst concentration, the catalyst concentration is increased, the aggregation and growth of the catalyst are often caused, and a large amount of multi-walled carbon nanotubes are formed in the product. Therefore, the efficiency and activity of the catalyst preparation become key problems restricting the scale preparation of the single-walled carbon nanotube.
The inventor discloses two methods for preparing single-wall carbon nanotubes based on the combination of high-temperature physical evaporation and chemical vapor deposition in Chinese patent inventions 201910533219.0 and 202011003243.2. The metal catalyst is evaporated into fine catalyst particles by taking high-temperature plasma arc as a high-temperature heat source, and the fine catalyst particles are combined with a cracked organic carbon source at high temperature to generate the single-walled carbon nanotube. Because the catalyst particles are prepared by high-temperature physical evaporation, the efficiency is far higher than that of the conventional high-temperature chemical decomposition process, higher preparation efficiency can be obtained, and the method is a feasible route for large-scale preparation. However, due to the very high physical evaporation efficiency, evaporated high-concentration catalyst particles collide, aggregate and grow in the transportation process, and part of the catalyst with an overlarge size is brought to a chemical vapor deposition stage, so that byproducts such as multi-wall carbon nanotubes and carbon spheres exist in the product, and the purity of the product is reduced. To improve product purity, it is necessary to screen the catalyst size to inhibit by-product production.

s4) introducing the organic carbon source gas mixed gas into the chemical vapor deposition cavity, reacting with the filtered metal vapor, introducing the generated product into the gas-solid separation cavity along with the carrier gas through the connecting pipeline, and separating to obtain the final product.
The catalyst in the S1) is a metal catalyst, and the metal catalyst is any one or more of iron, cobalt and nickel.
