Abstract
Description
本発明は、カーボンナノチューブ等のナノカーボン材料の製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for producing a nanocarbon material such as a carbon nanotube.
近年、いわゆるカーボンナノチューブ等のナノカーボン材料が注目されている。これらのナノカーボン材料は従来の炭素材料であるグラファイトやダイヤモンドと異なる物性を有しているため、電極の電子放出源、伝導性膜、電池電極等への応用が期待されている。また、ナノカーボン材料は配線用途としても適していると考えられる。上記カーボンナノチューブ等のナノカーボンの製造（合成）方法としては、気相合成法やアーク放電法が知られている。 In recent years, nanocarbon materials such as so-called carbon nanotubes have attracted attention. Since these nanocarbon materials have physical properties different from those of conventional carbon materials such as graphite and diamond, they are expected to be applied to electrode electron emission sources, conductive films, battery electrodes, and the like. Nanocarbon materials are also considered suitable for wiring applications. As methods for producing (synthesizing) nanocarbons such as the above-mentioned carbon nanotubes, a gas phase synthesis method and an arc discharge method are known.
しかしながら、カーボンナノチューブを気相合成するには約５５０℃の温度が必要とされるため、製造コストがかかるという問題がある。このようなことから、常温常圧でカーボンナノチューブを合成する技術として、有機金属化合物と炭素供給源とを含む混合液に支持体を添加し、この混合液に超音波を照射する技術が開示されている（特許文献１参照）。 However, since a temperature of about 550 ° C. is required to synthesize carbon nanotubes in a gas phase, there is a problem that manufacturing costs are increased. For this reason, as a technique for synthesizing carbon nanotubes at room temperature and normal pressure, a technique is disclosed in which a support is added to a mixed liquid containing an organometallic compound and a carbon supply source, and ultrasonic waves are applied to the mixed liquid. (See Patent Document 1).
ところが、特許文献１記載の技術の場合、比較的高価な試薬である有機金属化合物を用いるため、製造コストの低減が充分でないという問題がある。
又、高温でカーボンナノチューブを気相合成する場合、反応系全体に熱エネルギーを供給する必要があるので、製造装置や熱源に要するコストが大きい。
本発明は上記の課題を解決するためになされたものであり、製造が簡単で製造コストの低く室温合成が可能なナノカーボン材料の製造方法の提供を目的とする。
However, in the case of the technique described in Patent Document 1, since an organometallic compound that is a relatively expensive reagent is used, there is a problem that the manufacturing cost is not sufficiently reduced.
In addition, when carbon nanotubes are vapor-phase synthesized at high temperatures, it is necessary to supply thermal energy to the entire reaction system, so the cost required for the production apparatus and heat source is high.
The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a nanocarbon material that is easy to produce and can be synthesized at room temperature with low production cost.
本発明者らは種々検討した結果、アルカリ金属を浸漬した含ハロゲン系有機溶媒に超音波を照射することで、ナノカーボン材料を従来より低温（例えば常温）で製造できること、つまり微視的領域への超音波エネルギーの照射により、系の温度上昇を抑制してナノカーボンの室温合成を可能とすることを見出した。つまり、上記した目的を達成するために、本発明のナノカーボン材料の製造方法は、含ハロゲン系有機溶媒中にアルカリ金属を浸漬すると共にナノカーボン材料を形成するための触媒を前記含ハロゲン系有機溶媒中に加え、前記含ハロゲン系有機溶媒に超音波を照射して前記触媒の表面にカーボンナノチューブ又はカーボンナノワイヤを形成させることを特徴とする。
As a result of various studies, the present inventors have found that nanocarbon materials can be produced at a lower temperature (for example, room temperature) than before by irradiating a halogen-containing organic solvent in which an alkali metal is immersed, that is, to a microscopic range. It was found that the irradiation of the ultrasonic energy of the above enables the room temperature synthesis of nanocarbon by suppressing the temperature rise of the system. That is, in order to achieve the above object, a manufacturing method of the nano-carbon material of the present invention, the catalyst for the formation of nano-carbon material with immersion of the alkali metal into the halogen-containing organic solvents containing halogenated organic In addition to the solvent, the halogen-containing organic solvent is irradiated with ultrasonic waves to form carbon nanotubes or carbon nanowires on the surface of the catalyst.
前記含ハロゲン系有機溶媒は脂肪族ハロゲン系有機溶媒及び／又は芳香族ハロゲン系有機溶媒であることが好ましい。
前記触媒はNi,Feの群から選ばれる少なくとも１種以上であることが好ましい。
The halogen-containing organic solvent is preferably an aliphatic halogen-based organic solvent and / or an aromatic halogen-based organic solvent.
The catalyst is preferably at least one selected from the group of Ni and Fe.
本発明のナノカーボン材料の製造方法によれば、製造が簡単で、かつ従来より低温（例えば室温）でナノカーボン材料を製造することができ、製造コストを低減することができる。又、本発明によれば、熱的に不安定な基材の表面にナノカーボン材料を合成することもできる。 According to the method for producing a nanocarbon material of the present invention, the production is simple, and the nanocarbon material can be produced at a lower temperature (for example, room temperature) than before, and the production cost can be reduced. Further, according to the present invention, a nanocarbon material can be synthesized on the surface of a thermally unstable substrate.
以下、本発明に係るナノカーボン材料の製造方法の実施の形態について説明する。
本発明に係るナノカーボン材料の製造方法は、含ハロゲン系有機溶媒中にアルカリ金属及び／又はアルカリ土類金属を浸漬すると共にナノカーボン材料を形成するための触媒を加え、溶媒に超音波を照射して行う。
Hereinafter, embodiments of the method for producing a nanocarbon material according to the present invention will be described.
The method for producing a nanocarbon material according to the present invention includes immersing an alkali metal and / or alkaline earth metal in a halogen-containing organic solvent, adding a catalyst for forming the nanocarbon material, and irradiating the solvent with ultrasonic waves. And do it.
図１は、本発明の製造方法を実施するための装置の一例を示す。この図において、容器２に含ハロゲン系有機溶媒４を満たし、溶媒４中にアルカリ金属６の塊を浸漬する。そして、ナノカーボン材料を形成するための触媒であるＮｉを担持した基板８を、溶媒４中にあってアルカリ金属６の近傍に配置する。この状態で、アルカリ金属６と基板８の付近の溶媒４中に超音波発振器本体１０から延びるホーン（又はチップ）１０Ａの先端が配置され、ここから超音波が発振される。 FIG. 1 shows an example of an apparatus for carrying out the manufacturing method of the present invention. In this figure, the container 2 is filled with a halogen-containing organic solvent 4, and a lump of alkali metal 6 is immersed in the solvent 4. Then, a substrate 8 supporting Ni as a catalyst for forming the nanocarbon material is placed in the solvent 4 and in the vicinity of the alkali metal 6. In this state, the tip of a horn (or chip) 10A extending from the ultrasonic oscillator main body 10 is placed in the solvent 4 near the alkali metal 6 and the substrate 8, and ultrasonic waves are oscillated therefrom.
詳細は不明であるが、超音波のエネルギにより溶媒分子が分解して炭素原子が生じ、この炭素原子が基板８に担持された触媒（Ｎｉ）表面にナノカーボン材料として析出すると考えられる。一方、溶媒分子が分解して生じるハロゲン原子はアルカリ金属と反応して塩となると考えられる。
溶媒分子が分解して炭素原子が生じる機構としては以下が考えられる。例えば含ハロゲン系有機溶媒として四塩化炭素(CCl4)を用い、アルカリ金属としてNaを用いた場合、CCl4に超音波を照射することにより、CCl4溶媒中に微細な泡が生じる。この泡が破裂(キャビテーション)する際にエネルギーを放出するが、Naが共存しない場合は、このエネルギーによってCCl4の結合の一部が一時的に切断されても、再結合してしまう。一方、Naが共存する場合、NaとClとの結合のし易さから、放出エネルギーを吸収したCCl4分子の近傍に金属NaがCCl4分子からClを引き抜き、結果的にC原子が供給される。このようにして生じたC原子が、ニッケル(Ni)や鉄(Fe)などの触媒金属表面に堆積することにより、ナノカーボンが成長すると考えられる。又、キャビテーションによる超音波からのエネルギーが触媒金属表面にも照射され、ナノカーボン成長に重要な役割を果たすことも考えられる。
Although details are unknown, it is considered that solvent molecules are decomposed by ultrasonic energy to generate carbon atoms, and these carbon atoms are deposited on the surface of the catalyst (Ni) supported on the substrate 8 as a nanocarbon material. On the other hand, it is considered that a halogen atom generated by decomposition of solvent molecules reacts with an alkali metal to form a salt.
The following is considered as a mechanism in which a solvent molecule is decomposed to generate a carbon atom. For example, when carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 ) is used as the halogen-containing organic solvent and Na is used as the alkali metal, fine bubbles are generated in the CCl 4 solvent by irradiating the CCl 4 with ultrasonic waves. When this bubble bursts (cavitation), energy is released, but when Na does not coexist, even if a part of the bond of CCl 4 is temporarily broken by this energy, recombination occurs. On the other hand, if the Na coexist, from binding ease of Na and Cl, the metal Na is pull the Cl from CCl 4 molecules are consequently supplied C atoms in the vicinity of CCl 4 molecules absorb energy released The It is considered that nanocarbon grows by the C atoms generated in this manner being deposited on the surface of a catalytic metal such as nickel (Ni) or iron (Fe). In addition, it is considered that energy from ultrasonic waves generated by cavitation is also applied to the catalytic metal surface and plays an important role in nanocarbon growth.
この反応条件は、超音波のエネルギーやアルカリ金属、触媒の量等に応じて変化するが、通常、５〜１０分程度の超音波照射で生じ、溶媒の温度も照射前からあまり上昇しない。従って、常温常圧で反応を行うことができる。 The reaction conditions vary depending on the ultrasonic energy, the amount of alkali metal, the amount of catalyst, etc., but are usually generated by ultrasonic irradiation for about 5 to 10 minutes, and the temperature of the solvent does not increase so much from before irradiation. Therefore, the reaction can be performed at room temperature and normal pressure.
本発明により製造されるナノカーボン材料とは、通常、１ｎｍ程度〜数１００ｎｍのサイズの構造体からなるカーボン材料をいい、例えばカーボンナノチューブ（直径が１ｎｍ〜数１０ｎｍの管状繊維状物が例示される）、カーボンナノワイヤー（直径が数１００ｎｍの中実の繊維状物が例示される）、カーボンオニオン（直径が数ｎｍ〜数１００ｎｍでタマネギ状に黒鉛層が数１０〜数１００層積層した球状微粒子が例示される）、カーボンナノワイヤーの放射状集合体（カーボンナノワイヤーが多数放射状に束ねられ、花のように拡がったもの）が挙げられる。特に、本発明は、カーボンナノチューブやカーボンナノワイヤー等、細長く繊維状の材料の製造に適している。 The nanocarbon material produced according to the present invention usually refers to a carbon material composed of a structure having a size of about 1 nm to several hundred nm, such as a carbon nanotube (a tubular fibrous material having a diameter of 1 nm to several tens of nm). ), Carbon nanowires (examples are solid fibrous materials having a diameter of several hundreds of nanometers), carbon onions (spherical fine particles having a diameter of several nanometers to several hundreds of nanometers and onion-like graphite layers laminated with several ten to several hundreds of layers. ), And a radial aggregate of carbon nanowires (a large number of carbon nanowires are radially bundled and spread like a flower). In particular, the present invention is suitable for producing elongated and fibrous materials such as carbon nanotubes and carbon nanowires.

In addition, although the following alkali metals and alkaline earth metals react violently with water, in order to prevent this, it is preferable to dehydrate and use the halogen-containing organic solvent.

The catalyst for forming the nanocarbon material may be composed of a single catalyst or may be supported on a substrate. The carbon in the halogen-containing organic solvent molecule becomes a carbon source and precipitates and grows on the catalyst surface to synthesize a nanocarbon material.
As a catalyst simple substance, it can be set as forms, such as plate shape and a granular form. When the catalyst is supported on the base material, the shape of the base material can be plate-like or granular.
As said catalyst, the well-known metal catalyst normally used when manufacturing a carbon nanotube by a gaseous-phase synthesis method other than Ni and Fe can be mentioned, for example.
The substrate may be anything as long as it can support a metal catalyst and is insoluble in a halogen-containing organic solvent. Examples thereof include Si, quartz, and metals (Ni, Fe, Ge, etc.).
触媒は、前記含ハロゲン系有機溶媒中に加えればよいが、上記したアルカリ金属（及び／又はアルカリ土類金属）の近傍に触媒を配置すると、溶媒分子がアルカリ金属によって解離して生じた炭素原子がすぐに触媒上に析出するので好ましい。なお、触媒（又は触媒担持した基材）が粒状である場合、溶媒を攪拌する等により触媒を溶媒中に均一に分散させれば、アルカリ金属に接近するようになる。 The catalyst may be added to the halogen-containing organic solvent. However, when the catalyst is disposed in the vicinity of the alkali metal (and / or alkaline earth metal), the carbon atoms generated by the dissociation of the solvent molecules by the alkali metal. Is preferred because it immediately deposits on the catalyst. When the catalyst (or the catalyst-supported base material) is granular, the catalyst comes close to the alkali metal if the catalyst is uniformly dispersed in the solvent, for example, by stirring the solvent.
超音波のエネルギーは特に制限されないが、例えば１００Ｗ程度、パルス間隔１〜数秒程度とすることができる。又、超音波発振器１０の構造は特に制限されず、上記したホーン型の他、容器の底や側壁に振動板を有するバット型を用いても良い。
又、ホーン型の超音波発振器を用いる場合は、上記したアルカリ金属（及び／又はアルカリ土類金属）と触媒との近傍の溶媒４中にホーン先端を配置すると、反応領域に近い場所に超音波を生じさせることができるので好ましい。バット型の超音波発振器を用いる場合は、溶媒全体に超音波が付加される。
The energy of the ultrasonic wave is not particularly limited, but can be, for example, about 100 W and a pulse interval of about 1 to several seconds. The structure of the ultrasonic oscillator 10 is not particularly limited, and a bat type having a diaphragm on the bottom or side wall of the container may be used in addition to the horn type described above.
When a horn type ultrasonic oscillator is used, if the tip of the horn is placed in the solvent 4 in the vicinity of the alkali metal (and / or alkaline earth metal) and the catalyst, the ultrasonic wave is placed near the reaction region. Is preferable. When a bat-type ultrasonic oscillator is used, ultrasonic waves are added to the entire solvent.
反応系の温度、圧力等は特に制限されないが、装置を簡易にして製造コストを低減するため、常温常圧であることが好ましい。又、含ハロゲン系有機溶媒の蒸気圧が低い場合、密閉容器内で反応を行うことが好ましい。 The temperature, pressure, etc. of the reaction system are not particularly limited, but normal temperature and normal pressure are preferred in order to simplify the apparatus and reduce production costs. In addition, when the vapor pressure of the halogen-containing organic solvent is low, the reaction is preferably carried out in a sealed container.
次に、実施例を挙げて本発明をさらに詳細に説明するが、本発明はこれらに限定されるものではない。 EXAMPLES Next, although an Example is given and this invention is demonstrated further in detail, this invention is not limited to these.
図１に示した装置を用いた。まず、容器２に四塩化炭素（純度99.8%、和光純薬工業株式会社）からなる溶媒４を約50ｍＬ入れ、その中に金属Ｎａ（純度98.0%、和光純薬工業株式会社）の塊６を投入した。
一方、触媒としてＮｉ薄膜（マグネトロンスパッタ法(Arガス中、ガス流量2 sccm、ガス圧2 mTorr、放電パワー100W)により、室温のSi基板に成膜）を20nm程度表面に成膜した結晶性Ｓｉ基板８を溶媒４に浸漬し、塊６の近傍に配置した（基板８のＮｉ薄膜側が塊６に面するようにした）。この状態で、超音波発振器（大岳製作所製）のホーン１０Ａの先端を塊６と基板８の近傍に配置し、溶媒４中に超音波を照射した。超音波エネルギは100Ｗ、パルスは１秒、照射時間１０分とした。又、反応条件は常温（約25℃）、大気圧とした。
The apparatus shown in FIG. 1 was used. First, about 50 mL of a solvent 4 made of carbon tetrachloride (purity 99.8%, Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) is placed in a container 2, and a mass 6 of metal Na (purity 98.0%, Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) is placed therein. I put it in.
On the other hand, crystalline Si with a Ni thin film (deposited on a Si substrate at room temperature by magnetron sputtering (in Ar gas, gas flow rate 2 sccm, gas pressure 2 mTorr, discharge power 100 W)) on the surface of about 20 nm as a catalyst. The substrate 8 was immersed in the solvent 4 and arranged in the vicinity of the lump 6 (the Ni thin film side of the substrate 8 faced the lump 6). In this state, the tip of the horn 10 </ b> A of an ultrasonic oscillator (manufactured by Otake Manufacturing Co., Ltd.) was placed in the vicinity of the mass 6 and the substrate 8, and ultrasonic waves were irradiated into the solvent 4. The ultrasonic energy was 100 W, the pulse was 1 second, and the irradiation time was 10 minutes. The reaction conditions were room temperature (about 25 ° C.) and atmospheric pressure.
図２〜図４は超音波照射後のＮｉ薄膜表面のＳＥＭ（走査型電子顕微鏡）像を示す。図２〜図４につれて画像の倍率が高くなっている。各図に示すようにＮｉ薄膜表面に、先端が鋭く尖ったカーボンナノワイヤーが成長したのが確認された。
図５は、図2〜図4に示されるカーボン堆積部分を剥ぎ取り、TEM用のグリッドに付着させて撮影した透過型電子顕微鏡(TEM)像を示す。図５のTEM像によれば、カーボン堆積物中に何層にも入れ子状になった層からなる多層カーボンナノチューブが存在していたことがわかる。図５の符号Ｗはカーボンナノチューブの幅を示し、これより、カーボンナノチューブの直径が10〜20nm程度であることがわかる。
又、図４の白抜き矢印に示したように、カーボンナノワイヤーよりさらに小径の糸状の物質が生成されたことがわかった。この糸状の物質のサイズは図５のWに類似するので、糸状の物質がカーボンナノチューブである可能性がある。
2 to 4 show SEM (scanning electron microscope) images of the Ni thin film surface after ultrasonic irradiation. The magnification of the image is increased as shown in FIGS. As shown in each figure, it was confirmed that carbon nanowires with sharp tips were grown on the surface of the Ni thin film.
FIG. 5 shows a transmission electron microscope (TEM) image taken by peeling off the carbon deposit portion shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 and attaching it to a TEM grid. According to the TEM image of FIG. 5, it can be seen that multi-walled carbon nanotubes composed of layers nested in the carbon deposit existed. The symbol W in FIG. 5 indicates the width of the carbon nanotube. From this, it can be seen that the diameter of the carbon nanotube is about 10 to 20 nm.
Further, as indicated by the white arrow in FIG. 4, it was found that a thread-like substance having a smaller diameter than that of the carbon nanowire was generated. Since the size of this filamentous material is similar to W in FIG. 5, the filamentous material may be a carbon nanotube.
触媒として、上記したＮｉ被覆Ｓｉ基板の代わりにＦｅ薄膜（マグネトロンスパッタ法(Arガス中、ガス流量2 sccm、ガス圧2 mTorr、放電パワー100W)により、室温の石英基板に成膜）を20nm程度表面に形成した石英基板８を用いたこと以外は実施例１とまったく同様にして溶媒４中に超音波を照射した。 As a catalyst, an Fe thin film (deposited on a quartz substrate at room temperature by magnetron sputtering (in Ar gas, gas flow rate 2 sccm, gas pressure 2 mTorr, discharge power 100 W)) instead of the Ni-coated Si substrate is about 20 nm. The solvent 4 was irradiated with ultrasonic waves in exactly the same manner as in Example 1 except that the quartz substrate 8 formed on the surface was used.
図６〜図１０は超音波照射後のＦｅ薄膜表面のＳＥＭ像を示す。図６〜図１０につれて画像の倍率が高くなっている。各図に示すようにＦｅ薄膜表面に、先端が鋭く尖ったカーボンナノワイヤーが成長したのが確認された。
各図のスケールを参照すると、カーボンナノワイヤーの直径が80nm程度であると考えられる。
6 to 10 show SEM images of the Fe thin film surface after ultrasonic irradiation. The magnification of the image is increased as shown in FIGS. As shown in each figure, it was confirmed that carbon nanowires having sharp tips were grown on the Fe thin film surface.
Referring to the scales in each figure, it is considered that the diameter of the carbon nanowire is about 80 nm.
アルカリ金属だけでなく、アルカリ土類金属も本発明に有効であることを示すための簡易な試験を行った。
まず、図１の装置に上記四塩化炭素（溶媒）４を約50ｍＬ入れ、その中にニッケル微粒子（粒径3-7μｍ、株式会社ニラコ）を投入し、攪拌して液中に分散させた。この液に金属Ｃａ（純度99.5%、粒径1-3 mm、株式会社ニラコ）の塊６を投入し、上記超音波発振器のホーン１０Ａの先端を塊６の近傍に配置し、溶媒４中に超音波を約10分間照射した。実験終了後、ニッケル微粒子を回収した。
図１１は、ニッケル微粒子表面のＳＥＭ像を示す。この図において、微粒子表面に堆積物が存在することが確認された。この堆積物をエネルギー分散型 X 線分光(EDS)で分析したところ、炭素原子が検出された。
A simple test was conducted to show that not only alkali metals but also alkaline earth metals are effective in the present invention.
First, about 50 mL of the above carbon tetrachloride (solvent) 4 was put into the apparatus of FIG. 1, and nickel fine particles (particle size: 3-7 μm, Nilaco Co., Ltd.) were put therein and stirred to disperse in the liquid. A lump 6 of metallic Ca (purity 99.5%, particle size 1 to 3 mm, Nilaco Co., Ltd.) is put into this liquid, and the tip of the horn 10A of the ultrasonic oscillator is placed in the vicinity of the lump 6 in the solvent 4 Ultrasonic waves were irradiated for about 10 minutes. After the experiment, nickel fine particles were collected.
FIG. 11 shows an SEM image of the surface of the nickel fine particles. In this figure, it was confirmed that deposits exist on the surface of the fine particles. When this deposit was analyzed by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), carbon atoms were detected.
なお、図１２は金属Ｃａの代わりに上記金属Ｎａを投入し、ニッケル微粒子（純度99.9%、粒径300Mesh、フルウチ化学株式会社）を用いた場合のニッケル微粒子表面のＳＥＭ像を示す。金属Ｎａを投入した場合もニッケル微粒子表面に堆積物が存在し、この堆積物をEDSで分析したところ、炭素原子が検出された。
一方、図１３は、上記金属Ｎａを投入し、超音波照射を行わずに１時間液中に浸漬した場合のニッケル微粒子表面のＳＥＭ像を示す。この場合、ニッケル微粒子表面に堆積物は見られず、EDS分析において炭素原子は検出されなかった。
以上より、金属Ｃａを用いた場合もニッケル微粒子表面に炭素が堆積するので、反応条件（基板や触媒の種類等）を調整することにより、金属Ｎａを用いたのと同様にナノカ−ボン材料を製造できることが期待される。
FIG. 12 shows an SEM image of the surface of the nickel fine particles when the metal Na is used instead of the metal Ca and nickel fine particles (purity 99.9%, particle size 300 mesh, Furuuchi Chemical Co., Ltd.) are used. Even when metal Na was added, deposits were present on the surface of the nickel fine particles, and when this deposit was analyzed by EDS, carbon atoms were detected.
On the other hand, FIG. 13 shows an SEM image of the surface of the nickel fine particles when the metal Na is introduced and immersed in the liquid for 1 hour without ultrasonic irradiation. In this case, no deposit was observed on the surface of the nickel fine particles, and no carbon atoms were detected in the EDS analysis.
As described above, carbon is deposited on the surface of the nickel fine particles even when metal Ca is used. Therefore, by adjusting the reaction conditions (substrate, type of catalyst, etc.), the nanocarbon material can be obtained in the same manner as when using metal Na. It is expected that it can be manufactured.
