Description

Purification method of single-walled carbon nanotube
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of carbon nano material purification, and particularly relates to a purification method of a single-walled carbon nano tube.
Background
Single-walled carbon nanotubes have been widely used in various fields such as nanoelectronics, energy devices, and biosensors because of their excellent electrical, chemical, thermal, and mechanical properties since they were discovered in 1993. Currently, single-walled carbon nanotubes are generally prepared by methods such as arc discharge, laser evaporation, thermal cracking with catalysts, and the like. In the production process of single-wall carbon nanotubes, besides the large-scale preparation process, the purification process is also a key to influence the application of the single-wall carbon nanotubes, because the prepared single-wall carbon nanotube samples generally contain a large amount of impurities, and the common impurities mainly comprise two major types of carbon impurities (graphite particles, carbon nanoparticles, amorphous carbon and the like formed in the growth process of the carbon nanotubes) and metal impurities (derived from transition metal catalysts). The presence of these impurities severely affects the properties and applications of single-walled carbon nanotubes. Therefore, developing a highly efficient purification method is important for obtaining high purity single-walled carbon nanotube products.
By utilizing the characteristics that the physical properties of carbon impurities are different from those of single-wall carbon nanotubes (such as density, stability, metallic property and the like), and the metal impurities are easy to dissolve in acid or sublimate at high temperature, the existing method for purifying the single-wall carbon nanotubes mainly comprises the following steps: (1) physical purification method: including centrifugation, electrophoresis, filtration, and space exclusion chromatography; (2) chemical purification method: including a gas phase oxidation purification method, a liquid phase oxidation purification method, etc.; (3) comprehensive purification method: including acid treatment and gas phase oxidation, acid treatment and high temperature annealing, acid treatment and gas phase oxidation and high temperature annealing, acid treatment and electrophoresis, microporous filtration and electrolysis, etc. In purifying single-walled carbon nanotubes, most important is the care to prevent the carbon tubes from oxidative damage, as well as the economics and efficiency of the process. At present, a great deal of researches show that the most effective method for removing metal impurities is to acidify the carbon tube, because the temperature of the acidizing treatment is lower, the equipment requirement is lower, and compared with a high-temperature purification method, the economical efficiency is better, and the mass production is easier to realize. However, the acidification treatment cannot deeply dissolve the metal particles wrapped on the inner wall of the carbon nano tube, and other methods are needed to assist in reducing the impurity content. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a more suitable purification method to ensure that the carbon layer on the surface of the metal particles is completely dissolved out while not seriously damaging the structure of the single-walled carbon nanotubes, thereby greatly improving the purity of the single-walled carbon nanotubes.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to overcome the defects in the prior art, the invention provides a purification method of single-walled carbon nanotubes, which can efficiently remove metal impurities and improve the purity of single-walled carbon nanotube products through the oxidation of sodium peroxide/sodium nitrate.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention is realized by the following technical scheme:
the invention provides a purification method of single-walled carbon nanotubes, which comprises the following steps:
s1, uniformly mixing a single-walled carbon nanotube crude product with sodium peroxide or sodium nitrate, and then calcining;
s2, dispersing the calcined sample in water, filtering and collecting a filter cake, dispersing the filter cake in water again, and adding an acid solution for stirring and refluxing reaction;
s3, centrifuging the suspension after backflow to remove supernatant, washing the suspension with water to be neutral, uniformly dispersing the washed sample, and collecting a filter cake through low-speed centrifugation and microporous filtration;
s4, drying and crushing the filter cake collected in the step S3, and then placing the filter cake in a hydrogen-Ar mixed gas atmosphere for low-temperature calcination treatment to obtain a purified single-walled carbon nanotube product.
Based on the characteristic of poor stability of carbon impurity elements, although the single-wall carbon nano tube with better stability is easily separated by high-temperature air annealing treatment, if an elastic layer on the surface of a metal catalyst particle can be damaged by a certain method in the step, the purification difficulty is greatly reduced. Therefore, a small amount of sodium peroxide/sodium nitrate is added into the crude single-walled carbon nanotube product, and then high-temperature air annealing treatment is carried out, so that carbon impurities are removed by oxidization, and a carbon layer attached to the surface of a metal is selectively oxidized, so that nano particles of the metal catalyst are exposed, further, the metal impurities can be effectively removed in the next acid treatment process, and the purity of the single-walled carbon nanotube product is improved.
Preferably, in the step S1, the addition mass of sodium peroxide or sodium nitrate is 1-10% of the crude single-walled carbon nanotube product.
Preferably, in step S1, the temperature of the calcination treatment is 300-500 ℃ and the time is 10-60min.
Preferably, in the step S2, the acid solution is a nitric acid solution, the mass ratio of the acid solution to the filter cake is 50-100:1, and the concentration of the nitric acid solution is 4-10mol/L.
Preferably, in step S2, the mass ratio of the calcined sample or filter cake to water is 1:10-20.
Preferably, in step S2, the reaction time of the stirring reflux reaction is 4-12 hours.
Preferably, in the step S3, the low-speed centrifugation is performed at 5000rpm for 10-30min, and the microporous filtration is performed by using a microporous filter membrane of 0.22 μm.
Preferably, in step S4, the temperature of the low-temperature calcination treatment is 200-300 ℃ and the time is 30-120min.
Preferably, in step S4, the drying is performed at 80-120℃for 8-12 hours.
Preferably, the crude single-walled carbon nanotube is prepared by arc discharge method, laser evaporation method, chemical vapor deposition method, or catalytic thermal cracking method.
Preferably, in step S3, the centrifugation is performed at 10000rpm for 30-60min.
