Description
本発明は、カーボンナノチューブ薄膜、光透過率の変動が小さく、面抵抗の変動が小さく、安定した導電性を有するカーボンナノチューブ薄膜に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a carbon nanotube thin film, a carbon nanotube thin film having a small variation in light transmittance, a small variation in sheet resistance, and a stable conductivity.
カーボンナノチューブ(CNT)は、1991年に非特許文献1に発表された。その後、CNTのもつ良好な特性が注目された。電界効果トランジスタや、ミクロサイズの配線材料などの次世代材料として用いられるものとしてCNTに対する期待が大きい。現在使用されている、これらの材料として用いられている材料よりも優れた特性を有していることが期待される。その結果、これらの材料は、現在以上の特性が期待される潜在的な特性を有する材料として期待されるところとなり、積極的に開発が進められてきた。現在では、稀少資源であるインジウムの代替物質として、カーボンナノチューブによる透明導電膜(透明電極)の開発及びその応用に期待が持たれている。 Carbon nanotube (CNT) was published in Non-Patent Document 1 in 1991. Thereafter, the good characteristics of CNTs were noted. CNTs are highly expected as next-generation materials such as field effect transistors and micro-sized wiring materials. It is expected to have properties superior to those currently used as these materials. As a result, these materials have been expected as materials having potential characteristics that are expected to exceed the current characteristics, and have been actively developed. At present, there are expectations for the development and application of transparent conductive films (transparent electrodes) using carbon nanotubes as substitutes for indium, a rare resource.
CNTには、そのグラフェンシートの巻き方によって、金属及び半導体性CNTが存在する。通常のCNT材料は、金属性及び半導体性CNTの混合物となっている。
CNTは、層の枚数が1層の単層CNT、2層の2層CNT、3層の3層CNT、層の数が多数ある多層CNTが知られている。
可視光を透過する透明電極としては、導電性は最外層のみの性質でほとんど決まるため、層の数が少なく光吸収の弱い単層CNT又は2層CNTが当面の目標となっている。最も望ましい電極材料は単層CNTがよい。これらCNTの合成法は、従来、化学気相成長法、アーク放電法、レーザー蒸発法等どのいずれの方法によっても作製されてきた。これらの合成法ではいずれの方法であってもよい。
In CNT, metal and semiconducting CNT exist depending on how the graphene sheet is wound. Ordinary CNT material is a mixture of metallic and semiconducting CNTs.
As the CNT, there are known single-layer CNT having one layer, two-layer CNT, two-layer CNT, three-layer CNT, and multilayer CNT having a large number of layers.
As a transparent electrode that transmits visible light, conductivity is almost determined by the properties of only the outermost layer, and therefore, single-walled CNTs or two-walled CNTs with a small number of layers and weak light absorption are the immediate targets. The most desirable electrode material is single-walled CNT. Conventionally, these CNT synthesis methods have been produced by any method such as chemical vapor deposition, arc discharge, and laser evaporation. Any of these synthesis methods may be used.
単層CNTは、その炭素原子の結合及び並び方の相違により、半導体性CNTと金属性CNTの2種類がある。合成方法において半導体性CNTと金属性CNTが等確率で生成されとすれば、生成比は2対1とされる。従来の既存の合成法によれば、これら半導体性CNTと金属性CNTの混合物として得られ、それらは束を構成しているとされる。
この半導体性CNTと金属性CNTの混合物からなる薄膜を形成してみると、その電気伝導性は半導体性CNTと金属性CNTの双方が寄与することとなり、混合物からなる導電性は、伝導担体(キャリア)を注入させることにより大きく変化させることができることが知られている。例えば、大気中の酸素や水による正孔注入では、伝導度が高くなることが知られている。また、硫酸に含浸させることによっても、正孔を注入することができるので伝導度が高くなる。この伝導度の上昇の原因は、酸素や水、硫酸による電荷移動(キャリア注入)の結果、半導体性CNTのフェルミレベルを変化させて、電荷は価電子帯に入り、その結果、伝導度に寄与するキャリア濃度が著しく増大できる結果によるものと考えられる。
CNT薄膜を透明導電膜として使用してみると、その薄膜の導電性が環境の変化に応じて、刻々変化してしまうということは材料の特性が刻々変化することを意味し、材料を特定の目的に使用するということから考えると実用化するうえでは障害となる。前記のように変化する原因は、大気中等に存在する酸素や水、二酸化炭素、各種浮遊分子等がCNT表面へ吸着すると、電荷移動が起こり、その結果、薄膜の導電性を変化させることになり、これが薄膜の導電性が変化する原因であると考えられる。これを解決する上からは、
現状のデバイスを使用する環境から考えると、大気中に存在する酸素や水等の分子からデバイスを完全に隔離して、その結果、薄膜の導電性を特定の値に維持することは困難である。
その結果、デバイスが大気中の酸素や水等の分子を吸着しても導電性が変化しない、導電性が安定に保たれているCNT薄膜が求められている。
When a thin film composed of a mixture of semiconducting CNTs and metallic CNTs is formed, both the semiconducting CNTs and metallic CNTs contribute to the electrical conductivity. It is known that it can be changed greatly by injecting a carrier. For example, it is known that the conductivity increases when holes are injected by oxygen or water in the atmosphere. Also, impregnation with sulfuric acid can inject holes, so that the conductivity is increased. The cause of this increase in conductivity is that, as a result of charge transfer (carrier injection) due to oxygen, water, and sulfuric acid, the Fermi level of semiconducting CNTs is changed, and the charge enters the valence band, thereby contributing to conductivity. This is considered to be due to the result that the carrier concentration can be significantly increased.
When using a CNT thin film as a transparent conductive film, the fact that the conductivity of the thin film changes with the change of the environment means that the characteristics of the material change every moment. Considering that it is used for the purpose, it becomes an obstacle to practical use. The cause of the change as described above is that when oxygen, water, carbon dioxide, various floating molecules, etc. present in the atmosphere are adsorbed on the CNT surface, charge transfer occurs, resulting in a change in the conductivity of the thin film. This is considered to be the cause of the change in the conductivity of the thin film. From the top to solve this,
Considering the environment in which the current device is used, it is difficult to completely isolate the device from molecules such as oxygen and water present in the atmosphere, and as a result, maintain the conductivity of the thin film at a specific value. .
As a result, there is a need for a CNT thin film in which the conductivity does not change even when the device adsorbs molecules such as oxygen and water in the atmosphere, and the conductivity is stably maintained.
本発明の課題は、使用環境に存在する酸素や水、二酸化炭素、各種浮遊分子等が表面に吸着し、その結果電荷移動を生じても、その分光透過率及び導電性が変化しないCNT薄膜を提供することである。 An object of the present invention is to provide a CNT thin film in which oxygen, water, carbon dioxide, various floating molecules, etc. existing in the environment of use are adsorbed on the surface and, as a result, charge transfer occurs, the spectral transmittance and conductivity do not change. Is to provide.
本発明者は上記課題を解決すべく鋭意研究し、以下の点を見いだして本発明を完成させた。
(1)通常のCNT材料は、金属性CNT及び半導体性CNTの混合物となっている。
(2)この内の半導体性CNTにはエネルギーギャップがあるため、そのままでは良好な導電性は得られない。その理由は、酸素や水、酸などの物質が表面に吸着すると、電荷移動を生じて、伝導度が高い状態を示すと考えられる。
(3)CNTを構成する金属性CNTにはエネルギーギャップが無く、さらにフェルミレベル近傍の状態密度がエネルギーに依存しない電子構造を取るとされる(強結合理論)。その結果、一定の伝導度を有している。
(4)伝導度を一定の範囲に保つ上からは、半導体性CNTを用いることなく、金属性CNTのみを用いて薄膜を作製すれば、得られる薄膜は他の分子や物質が金属性CNT表面に吸着して電荷移動を生じても、CNT薄膜の導電性には大きな変化が生じない。
(5)酸素や水、二酸化炭素、各種浮遊分子等が表面に吸着し、電荷移動を生じても、その分光透過率及び導電性が変化しないCNT薄膜を得ようとするのであれば、
金属性CNTのみを用いて薄膜を作製すれば、得られる薄膜は他の分子や物質が金属性CNT表面に吸着して電荷移動を生じても、CNT薄膜の導電性に大きな変化が生じないこのではなかいと考えた。
(6)そこで、金属性CNT95重量%以上好ましくは99重量%以上を含有する溶液から溶媒を除去してCNT薄膜を形成すると、酸素や水、二酸化炭素、各種浮遊分子等の物質を表面に吸着させた場合であっても、その分光透過率の変化を初期値の5%以下、導電性の面抵抗の変化を初期値の30%以下におさえることができることを見出した。この薄膜を得ることにより、発明が解決しようとする課題を解決することができた。
The inventor has intensively studied to solve the above problems, and has found the following points to complete the present invention.
(1) A normal CNT material is a mixture of metallic CNT and semiconducting CNT.
(2) Since the semiconductor CNT among these has an energy gap, good conductivity cannot be obtained as it is. The reason is considered to be that when a substance such as oxygen, water, or acid is adsorbed on the surface, charge transfer occurs and the conductivity is high.
(3) The metallic CNT constituting the CNT has no energy gap, and the state density in the vicinity of the Fermi level is assumed to take an electronic structure independent of energy (strong coupling theory). As a result, it has a certain conductivity.
(4) From the viewpoint of keeping the conductivity within a certain range, if a thin film is produced using only metallic CNT without using semiconducting CNT, the resulting thin film has other molecules and substances on the surface of metallic CNT. Even if it is adsorbed on the surface and causes charge transfer, there is no significant change in the conductivity of the CNT thin film.
(5) Even if oxygen, water, carbon dioxide, various floating molecules, etc. are adsorbed on the surface and charge transfer occurs, if you want to obtain a CNT thin film whose spectral transmittance and conductivity do not change,
If a thin film is produced using only metallic CNT, the resulting thin film will not cause a significant change in the conductivity of the CNT thin film even if other molecules and substances are adsorbed on the surface of the metallic CNT and cause charge transfer. I thought it was not good.
(6) Therefore, when the CNT thin film is formed by removing the solvent from the solution containing 95% by weight or more, preferably 99% by weight or more of the metallic CNTs, substances such as oxygen, water, carbon dioxide, and various floating molecules are adsorbed on the surface. It has been found that even if it is used, the change of the spectral transmittance can be suppressed to 5% or less of the initial value, and the change of the conductive surface resistance can be suppressed to 30% or less of the initial value. By obtaining this thin film, the problems to be solved by the invention could be solved.

(1)大気その他の環境中に含まれる分子がCNT表面に付着しても、その透明性及び導電性をほとんど変化させずに、安定した導電性を維持する導電性CNT薄膜を得ることができる。基板上にCNT薄膜を形成し、デバイスとして使用できる。
(2)硫酸のような、酸化性の強い酸に72時間含浸させても、酸に冒されて機能を失うことなく、導電特性をほとんど変えることなく、電極として機能するCNT薄膜を得ることができる。電極に使用することができる。
According to the present invention, the following becomes possible.
(1) Even when molecules contained in the atmosphere or other environment adhere to the CNT surface, a conductive CNT thin film that maintains stable conductivity can be obtained without changing the transparency and conductivity. . A CNT thin film can be formed on a substrate and used as a device.
(2) Even if impregnated with a highly oxidative acid such as sulfuric acid for 72 hours, it is possible to obtain a CNT thin film that functions as an electrode without being affected by the acid and losing its function, and hardly changing its conductive properties. it can. Can be used for electrodes.

The sheet resistance of the metal CNT thin film doped with sulfuric acid was 0.65 kΩ / □, and the sheet resistance of the reference CNT thin film doped with sulfuric acid was 0.99 kΩ / □. Compared to the initial value, the sheet resistance was reduced by about 30% in the metal CNT thin film, and the sheet resistance was reduced by about 84% in the reference CNT thin film. In the change in surface resistance due to sulfuric acid doping, it was shown that the fluctuation of the metal CNT thin film was smaller than that of the reference CNT thin film.

Sulfuric acid (Wako Pure Chemicals: special grade purity 95%) was dropped onto the surfaces of the metal CNT thin film and the reference CNT thin film, sealed as it was, and kept for 3 days. Thereafter, sulfuric acid on the surfaces of the metal CNT thin film and the reference CNT thin film was washed away with pure water, and after removing excess sulfuric acid, drying was performed to obtain a sulfuric acid-doped sample. The transmittance at 500 nm of the metal CNT thin film doped with sulfuric acid was 57%, and the transmittance at 500 nm of the reference CNT thin film doped with sulfuric acid was 35%. Compared to the initial value, the fluctuation of the transmittance of the metal CNT thin film was about 0%, and the fluctuation of the transmittance of the reference CNT thin film was about 10%.

以上の結果、金属性CNT薄膜は、参照用CNT薄膜に比べて面抵抗の値が初期値において非常に小さいだけでなく、金属性CNT薄膜は参照用CNT薄膜に比べて面抵抗の経時変化、大気暴露による変化、硫酸ドープによる変化が小さい事が明らかである。
Evaluation of variation in surface resistance due to atmospheric exposure In order to evaluate the effect of atmospheric exposure, after the metal CNT thin film and the reference CNT thin film were prepared, the surface resistance of the sample exposed to the atmosphere for 11 days was measured in vacuum and before evacuation. The effect of molecules adsorbed on the surface on the surface resistance was investigated by comparing with the surface resistance value. The surface resistance before vacuum evacuation of the metal CNT thin film exposed to the atmosphere for 11 days after production was 0.88 kΩ / □. After vacuum evacuation with a rotary pump for 10 minutes, the sheet resistance of the metal CNT thin film measured in vacuum was 0.88 kΩ / □. The surface resistance before vacuum evacuation of the reference CNT thin film exposed to the atmosphere on the 11th day after the production was 7.1 kΩ / □. The surface resistance of the CNT thin film for reference was 7.4 kΩ / □ measured in vacuum after evacuating for 10 minutes with a rotary pump. The surface resistance fluctuation due to vacuum evacuation of the metal CNT thin film exposed to the atmosphere for 11 days is about 0%, and the surface resistance fluctuation due to vacuum evacuation of the reference CNT thin film exposed to the air for 11 days is about 4%. The effect of atmospheric exposure on resistance was shown to be less than that of the reference CNT thin film.
As a result, the metallic CNT thin film has not only a very small initial surface resistance value compared to the reference CNT thin film, but the metallic CNT thin film has a temporal change in surface resistance compared to the reference CNT thin film. It is clear that changes due to atmospheric exposure and changes due to sulfuric acid dope are small.
