Description

A kind of is the method for feedstock production Single Walled Carbon Nanotube with the mesophase pitch
Technical field
The invention belongs to petrochemical complex, Coal Chemical Industry and carbon material technical field, relating to a kind of is the method for feedstock production Single Walled Carbon Nanotube with the mesophase pitch.
Background technology
CNT (carbon nano-tube) (Carbon nanotube) is a kind of raw material of wood-charcoal material with novel structure of finding in 1991.The ideal carbon nanotube is the seamless hollow tube that is curled and formed by the graphite flake layer that carbon atom forms, wherein have only the carbon nanotube of one deck graphite flake layer to be called as Single Walled Carbon Nanotube (Single walled carbonnanotubes, brief note is SWCNT), the diameter of SWCNT is generally 1~6nm, and the nearest diameter minimum of discovering carbon nanotube can reach 0.4nm.SWCNT is a kind of ultimate limit state of carbon nanotube, be characterized in that length-to-diameter ratio is big, textural defect is little and end curvature little etc.Existing to studies show that in a large number of SWCNT, SWCNT has wide application prospect in all many-sides such as electron device, an emission, Scanning Probe Microscopy technology, hydrogen storage material, chemical sensor and reinforced composites.In recent years, the preparation research of relevant Single Walled Carbon Nanotube has become a worldwide focus.Single Walled Carbon Nanotube can prepare with arc process, laser method or chemical Vapor deposition process (CVD).
It is reported that SWCNT almost finds simultaneously the researchist by Japanese scholar S.Iijima and IBM Corporation in 1993.But early stage technology of preparing mainly is to be raw material with the high purity graphite electrode, adopts arc process to prepare SWCNT, and the productive rate of product is very low, and impurity is more; Afterwards, people such as professor RichardSmalley of U.S. rice university discovered with the laser evaporation graphite material and can obtain the very high SWCNT of purity, and this technological method is referred to as the laser evaporation method, but productive rate is lower; Afterwards, about the research of the preparation method of SWCNT and physical property enjoys scientific and technical personnel's concern always, wherein technology of preparing is a key link and the challenging difficult problem in the SWCNT research always.
The preparation method of SWCNT has arc process, laser evaporation method and pyrolysis method (brief note is the CVD method) at present, wherein arc process is similar with the Wolfgang-Kr  tschmer method of preparation soccerballene, its specific practice is: add catalyzer in the raw material graphite rod, as transition-metal Fe, Co, Ni etc. or lanthanide series metal Ld, Nd, Y etc., and under inert atmosphere, make graphite rod evaporation gasification finally obtain SWCNT on the wall of reactor and in the cathode deposit at reactor through arc-over; Using more catalyzer at present is iron and nickel, and the charcoal pipe mechanical property of preparation is better, but productive rate is not high.Pyrolysis method or CVD method be a kind of with the metal be catalyzer under 700-1600K, by pyrolyze hydrocarbon, as methane, acetylene, ethene etc., the preparation carbon nanotube technological method.Japan scholar professor Endo is take the lead in the world preparing with the CVD method pioneer of carbon nanotube, subsequently, the academic team that the leader such as becomes to understand that penetrating judgment is awarded of the Fan Shoushan of the Xie Sishen of Inst. of Physics, CAS professor, Tsing-Hua University professor and Shenyang metal institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has also obtained gratifying achievement in this field.Compare with arc process, the technology of CVD method is simple relatively, can obtain the carbon nano pipe array product, but the degree of graphitization of the SWCNT that obtains mechanical property low, the charcoal pipe is relatively poor.The SWCNT of laser evaporation method preparation is purer, the degree of graphitization height, but need expensive plant and instrument, this causes the cost of SWCNT high, is difficult to realize the scale operation of SWCNT.
In sum, from the quality of cost and SWCNT product, the technology of existing preparation carbon nanotube can't realize cheapness and prepare the SWCNT of purity height and good physical performance with high yield.At above problem, it is raw material is equipped with high-purity SWCNT with the electric arc legal system method that the present invention proposes with mesophase pitch cheap and easy to get.Up to the present, be reported in both at home and abroad and also do not have about to be raw material with the mesophase pitch be equipped with disclosing of SWCNT with the electric arc legal system, only limit to document (Fuel 81 (2002) 5-14) seldom at present, and just mention in the preparation nanotube process and use pitch, do not provide the result at last.
