The dispersion method provided by the invention has no obvious damage to the microstructure and the length of the carbon nano tube, and can realize the high length-diameter ratio dispersion of the carbon nano tube. In addition, the dispersion method is different from the traditional strong oxidant and strong acid dispersion methods, has mild dispersion conditions, simple process, environmental friendliness and lower price of molten salt, and is suitable for large-scale production and application.

Description

Method for dispersing carbon nanotubes by using molten mixed salt
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for dispersing carbon nanotubes by using molten mixed salt, belonging to the technical field of nano carbon materials. The method can obtain the dispersion liquid without damaging the microstructure of the carbon nano tube, can also obtain the carbon nano tube film and the carbon nano tube paper with a relatively complete structure, has simple and easy dispersion method, and can be applied to the fields of water system slurry, electric conduction, heat storage, composite materials and the like.
Background
The carbon nano tube has excellent mechanical, electrical, optical and thermal properties due to the special sp2 carbon hybrid structure and certain flexibility, and has important application in the fields of composite materials, lithium ion battery additives and the like. However, in practical application, the high length-diameter ratio of the carbon nanotubes, the action of strong van der waals force between the tubes and the pi-pi stacking interaction cause the nanotubes to be easily aggregated and agglomerated, thereby greatly limiting the full play of the excellent performance of the nanotubes in the application fields of composite materials and lithium ion batteries. Therefore, solving the problem of effectively dispersing the carbon nanotubes with high length-diameter ratio has important significance for large-scale application and market promotion.
The nature of carbon nanotube dispersion is the interaction of the carbon nanotube interface with the solvent. By the action of strong acid or strong oxidant and carbon nanotube, hydroxyl, carboxyl and sulfonic group are introduced to the surface of carbon nanotube, so that carbon nanotube slurry with good dispersion can be obtained under mechanical action, which becomes the mainstream carbon nanotube dispersing method at present. However, in such a dispersion method, the structure of the carbon nanotubes is seriously damaged, which greatly reduces the intrinsic conductive properties and mechanical strength of the carbon nanotubes, and these chemical methods mostly use a large amount of oxidizing acid, which causes serious pollution. Finding a dispersion method of long carbon nanotubes is crucial to fully exerting the excellent properties of carbon nanotubes, and also brings opportunities for developing and preparing new carbon nanotube composite materials.
Based on the abundant pi electrons of carbon nanotubes, researchers have proposed that a superacid such as fuming sulfuric acid or chlorosulfonic acid can form charge transfer at the carbon nanotube interface, thereby forming stable dispersion by repulsion between charged carbon nanotubes. They indicate that the dispersion behavior of single-walled carbon nanotubes in strong acid systems is the result of the competition of van der waals forces with electrostatic forces under the action of strong acids. Although the use of super acids can solve the problem of dispersion of carbon nanotubes well, super acids are expensive in industrial production and also increase the safety of equipment and environmental problems.
The invention selects the high-density charge of low-melting-point aluminum salt with low price in a molten state as a main dispersion medium, and the empty track of the aluminum salt is interacted with the electrons on the surface of the carbon nano tube, so that strong repulsive force exists between the carbon nano tubes, strong van der Waals force is overcome, and high-quality carbon nano tube dispersion liquid, dispersion powder, a carbon nano tube film and carbon nano tube paper with perfect structures are obtained.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the disadvantages of the current carbon nanotube dispersion process, the present invention is directed to a method for dispersing carbon nanotubes with a low melting point aluminum salt.
The dispersion method of the carbon nano tube is carried out according to the following steps:
(1) Respectively weighing a certain amount of aluminum salt and other salts according to the mass fraction to prepare the low-melting-point mixed molten salt. (2) Adding carbon nano tubes with a certain mass fraction into the mixed molten salt, uniformly mixing, and treating for 1-120 hours under a certain condition to obtain a carbon nano tube dispersion stock solution.
(3) And obtaining the dispersed carbon nano tube powder, film or carbon nano tube paper by washing, drying and the like.
The method for dispersing the carbon nano tube by the low-melting-point aluminum salt is characterized in that the low-melting-point aluminum salt is one of aluminum bromide, aluminum chloride and aluminum iodide with the melting point below 500 ℃.

The invention has the beneficial effects that: the invention designs a novel carbon nanotube dispersing method by means of high charge density of molten salt in a molten state. The interaction between the electron vacancy provided by the aluminum salt and the pi-rich electron of the carbon nanotube is larger than the van der Waals force of the carbon nanotube, so that the carbon nanotube can be uniformly dispersed in the molten aluminum salt and the mixed molten salt thereof under the condition of keeping the length-diameter ratio of the carbon nanotube unchanged. The dispersion method can not cause damage to the carbon nano tube, can keep the excellent performance of the carbon nano tube, can directly obtain water system carbon nano tube dispersion liquid, carbon nano tube powder, a carbon nano tube film and carbon nano tube paper, and provides good conditions for the application of the carbon nano tube. The method is simple and convenient to operate, does not use super-strong acid strong oxidation reagent and surfactant, and is green and environment-friendly. The molten salt has low cost and is suitable for large-batch industrial production.
