Abstract
A process for synthesizing dual-wall carbon nanotubes uses n-hexane as carbon source, ferrocene as catalyst procursor, the mixture of argon gas and hydrogen gas as carrier, and sulfur instead of thiophene as additive. Said dual-wall carbon nanotubes are synthesized in horizontal resistance furnace by gas-phase chemical deposition method with higher flow of said gas mixture of argon and hydrogen. Its advantages are simple process and high stability.
Description
Technical field
The invention belongs to the nano material preparation technical scope, particularly a kind of synthetic method of double-walled carbon nano-tube.
Background technology
Carbon nanotube has excellent physicals and mechanical property, has very application prospects.Double-walled carbon nano-tube (double-wal1ed carbon nanotubes) is the key types between Single Walled Carbon Nanotube (single-walledcarbon nanotubes) and the multi-walled carbon nano-tubes (multi-walled carbon nanotubes).The layer of double-walled carbon nano-tube is 0.34～0.42nm with the spacing of layer, and the interlamellar spacing of general multi-walled carbon nano-tubes is big.Because the bigger interlamellar spacing structure of double-walled carbon nano-tube, double-walled carbon nano-tube have similar to Single Walled Carbon Nanotube even superior physical properties more.In addition, because big diameter and the interlamellar spacing of double-walled carbon nano-tube can be used as excellent hydrogen storage material.Right research helps disclosing carbon nano tube growth mechanism to double-walled carbon nano-tube.At present, research is a focus in nano materials research field to the double-walled carbon nano-tube synthetic.
The method of at present synthetic double-walled carbon nano-tube mainly contains arc discharge method (arc-discharge) and chemical Vapor deposition process (Chemical Vapor Deposition).Preparation technology's more complicated of arc discharge method is to having relatively high expectations of equipment.Used chemical Vapor deposition process is to adopt hydrocarbon gas (CH at present

2) as carbon source, because used gas flow very low (＜20 ml/min), the double-walled carbon nano-tube output for preparing is very low, and contains a large amount of catalyzer and amorphous carbon particle in the product, these impurity have had a strong impact on the performance of double-walled carbon nano-tube.People such as the Ci Lijie of Inst. of Physics, CAS are report in " Chemical PhysicsLetters, 2002,359:63～67 ": to using C

2Prepare double-walled carbon nano-tube as carbon source and study, the result shows that sulphur plays an important role to the formation of double-walled carbon nano-tube, but their output and also has a large amount of catalyzer and amorphous carbon particle in milligram magnitude per hour in product.The method of seeking the synthetic double-walled carbon nano-tube of a kind of suitable batch will be the key of double-walled carbon nano-tube performance and applied research.
The Zhu Hongwei of machinery system of Tsing-Hua University reaches report in " Carbon; 2002; 40:2021～2025 " at " Science; 2002; 296:884～886 ": adopt hexane solution as carbon source, ferrocene is as catalyst precursor, and thiophene is as additive, hydrogen has synthesized overlength Single Walled Carbon Nanotube rope as carrier gas in vertical resistance furnace.Change processing parameter simultaneously, also can obtain double-walled carbon nano-tube sometimes.But under his processing parameter, the output of single wall and double-walled carbon nano-tube is all very low, usually less than 5wt%.
Adopting hydrocarbon organic solution is to produce the common method of directed multi-walled carbon nano-tubes as carbon source.The parameter of producing directed multi-walled carbon nano-tubes is: 120mg ferrocene/10mL benzene, the concentration of thiophene are 0.4wt%, and temperature of reaction is 600～850 ℃, and argon gas and hydrogen flowing quantity are respectively 900mL/min and 150mL/min, and the amount of feed of solution is 0.4mL/min.The diameter of the directed multi-walled carbon nano-tubes of being produced is thick (generally more than 30 nanometers), although can obtain very a spot of Single Walled Carbon Nanotube under appropriate condition.But,, in the middle of product, do not find the existence of double-walled carbon nano-tube because processing parameter is improper.Present technique is improved original method, to be suitable for the growth of double-walled carbon nano-tube.Temperature of reaction is brought up to more than 1150 ℃ to help the growth of double-walled carbon nano-tube, increased catalyst concentration to form more forming core core, the concentration that increases sulphur is with the growth of the carbon nanotube that helps minor diameter.
Summary of the invention
The synthetic method that the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of double-walled carbon nano-tube, it is characterized in that: be carbon source with the normal hexane, ferrocene is a catalyst precursor, the mixed gas of argon gas and hydrogen is carrier gas, sulphur is as additive, with chemical Vapor deposition process synthetic double-walled carbon nano-tube on horizontal electric resistance furnace, its synthesis technique is: with ferrocene and sulphur according to 20: 1～5: 1 uniform mixing of mol ratio as catalyst precursor, be dissolved in the hexane solution according to the ratio that adds 15～50 milligrams of catalyzer in every ml n-hexane, temperature of reaction is 1100～1180 ℃, the flow of argon gas and hydrogen is respectively 1～2.5 liter/minute and 0.3～0.6 liter/minute, the rate of feed of solution is 0.2～0.5 ml/min, reaction times is to close hydrogen after 30～60 minutes and reduce argon flow amount, with the electric furnace cool to room temperature, can collect in the rear end of silica tube mainly by double-walled carbon nano-tube form membranaceous, cotton-shaped black product.
The invention has the beneficial effects as follows that 1. adopt normal hexane as the output of carbon source with the raising product, directly adopt sulphur to replace thiophene, the concentration that can guarantee sulphur in the solution is more stable in reaction process, and the argon gas of the big flow of employing and hydrogen gas mixture are to obtain double-walled carbon nano-tube.2. present technique is simple to operate, and stability is higher, is suitable in batches synthetic double-walled carbon nano-tube.
