Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the production of ordered carbon nanotubes.
  • Ordered carbon nanotubes within the meaning of the present invention have a tubular structure of diameter between 0.4 nm and 50 nm and a length greater than 100 times their diameter, in particular between 1000 and 100,000 times their diameter. They may exist either combined with particles of metallic catalyst, or separate from these particles. Carbon nanotubes have been described for a long time (S. Iijima “Helical nanotubules of graphitic carbon” Nature 354, 56 (1991)), but are still not exploited on an industrial scale. They could nevertheless be employed in numerous applications and in particular could be extremely useful and advantageous in the production of composite materials, flat screens, tips for nuclear power microscopes, storage of hydrogen or other gases, as catalyst supports, etc.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,663,230 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,500,200 describe a process for the catalytic preparation of carbon fibrils by high temperature decomposition of a source of gaseous carbon in contact with a solid catalyst in the form of metallic particles of size 3.5 nm to 70 nm, comprising at least one transition metal, carried by granules of solid support of size less than 400 ⁇ m.
  • the fibrils obtained should comprise an internal core of less ordered carbon surrounded by an external region of ordered carbon, and should have a diameter varying between 3.5 nm and 70 nm.
  • 5,500,200 discloses that the process for obtaining these fibrils may be carried out in a fluidised bed, but does not provide any example of such a process. All the examples mentioned are carried out with a fixed bed, produce a moderate yield with respect to the carbon source ( ⁇ 20% by weight), and the actual characteristics of the products obtained are not given. These documents therefore do not provide any real information relating to the production of real nanotubes of ordered carbon and/or the use of a fluidised bed for the production of such nanotubes.
  • WO 01/94260 published on 13 Dec. 2001, describes a process and an apparatus for the production of carbon nanotubes in several stages, in which a preliminary treatment stage of the catalyst in order to extract air from the latter is followed by a stage involving the reduction of the catalyst. In such a process it is also necessary to eliminate the amorphous carbon formed in the reaction, which is thus not selective with regard to the nanotubes that are formed.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,650,657 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,767,737 describe a process for the production of a fibrous carbon-containing material containing a ferrous metallic component in a fluidised bed by decomposition of carbon monoxide in the presence of hydrogen and a neutral gas such as nitrogen, a powder of ferrous metallic catalyst and in the presence of an abrasive such as alumina that acts as a support.
  • a fluidised bed is to remove the carbon formed from the surface of the granules, to promote the fragmentation and to minimise the size of the reactive mass of the fluidised bed.
  • These documents do not describe a process that can be applied to the production of carbon nanotubes.
  • the products obtained are particles of carbon of average dimension 1 ⁇ to 50 ⁇ (Table 1 of U.S. Pat. No. 4,650,657).
  • FR-2 707 526 describes a process for the preparation of a catalyst by chemical deposition in the vapour phase of metallic particles of size less than 2 nm in a fluidised bed of porous support granules at a temperature of less than 200° C.
  • This document describes more particularly the preparation of a rhodium-containing catalyst and does not describe a catalyst suitable for the production of carbon nanotubes.
  • the object of the invention is thus to provide a process for the selective production of true nanotubes of ordered carbon of homogeneous average dimensions (varying only slightly around a mean value) under conditions compatible with an industrial-scale exploitation, particularly in terms of yield with respect to the carbon source, catalytic activity and production costs, and of purity in nanotubes of the product obtained.
  • the invention also provides such a process in which the characteristics of the nanotubes produced may be predetermined and adjusted by simple modification of the parameters involved in the implementation of the process.
  • the invention provides more particularly such a process in which the yield of produced nanotubes with respect to the carbon source is equal to or greater than 80% by weight.
  • the invention also provides a catalytic granular composition that may be used in a process for the production of ordered carbon nanotubes according to the invention, as well as a process for the preparation of such a catalytic granular composition.
  • the invention relates to a process for the selective production of ordered carbon nanotubes by decomposition of a source of carbon in the gaseous state in contact with at least one solid catalyst in the form of metallic particles comprising at least one transition metal carried on granules of solid support, these support granules carrying the metallic particles, so-called catalyst granules, capable of being able to form a fluidised bed, the metallic particles having a mean dimension between 1 nm and 10 nm as measured after activation by heating to 750° C., in which a fluidised bed of the catalyst granules is produced in a reactor, the so-called growth reactor ( 30 ), and the carbon source is supplied continuously to the said growth reactor ( 30 ) in contact with the catalyst granules under conditions suitable for ensuring the fluidisation of the bed of catalyst granules, the decomposition reaction and the formation of nanotubes, characterised in that:

  • the various parameters are adjusted as follows:
  • the product obtained has a mean dimension of the particles equal to 6 nm and the variation of the dimensions of the metallic particles with respect to this value is, for at least 98% of the particles, at most of the order of 5.5 nm.
  • Multi-walled nanotubes are produced using the catalyst of comparison example 1 containing 2.6% Fe/Al 2 O 3 .
  • the amount of catalyst was intentionally reduced so as not to obtain large yields and, more particularly, so as to be better able to determine the influence of the method of preparation of the catalyst.
  • the various parameters are adjusted as follows:
  • Tn 750° C.
  • the amount of carbon deposited is 0.16 g, which should be compared with the result obtained in test 5 of Example 12 (same percentage of iron and identical conditions), namely 1.57 g.
  • the height of the bed remains substantially the same, whereas it changes from about 1 cm to 8.7 cm in test 5 of Example 12.
  • the SEM and TEM analyses show that the multi-walled nanotubes comprise only a part of the deposit and that the encapsulated particles are in this case extremely numerous.
  • a catalyst composition according to the invention permits the selective production of multi-walled nanotubes of homogeneous mean dimensions.
  • Multi-walled nanotubes are produced using the catalyst of Example 2 containing 2.6% Fe/Al 2 O 3 prepared without using water to activate the decomposition of the precursor.
  • the amount of catalyst was intentionally reduced so as not to obtain high yields, and more specifically so as to be better able to determine the influence of the activation of the catalyst by water. The various parameters are adjusted as follows:
  • Tn 750° C.
  • the amount of carbon deposited is 0.88 g, which should be compared with the result obtained in test 5 of Example 12 (same percentage of iron and identical conditions except for the addition of water), namely 1.57 g.

  • the SEM and TEM analyses show that the multi-walled nanotubes constitute the only product of the reaction.
  • the pyrolytic carbon or the encapsulated metal particles are largely absent from the deposit.
  • TEM micrographs of the nanotubes obtained are shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.
  • the scale represented by the continuous line is 400 nm.
  • the scale represented by the continuous line is 20 nm.

  • the TEM and SEM analyses show that the multi-walled nanotubes constitute the only product or virtually the only product of the deposition reaction.
  • the pyrolytic carbon or the particles of encapsulated metal are particularly absent in tests 1 to 5. In test 1, the temperature is too low for the reaction to proceed properly. In test 6, the temperature is too high and a thermal decomposition of the ethylene leads to the formation of pyrolytic carbon.
