Description

Preparation is used for the rugged catalyst of nanotube growth
Technical field
Present invention relates in general to a kind of catalysis process that is used for carbon nano-tube, relate more particularly to the method that a kind of preparation is used for the stable and high activated catalyst of carbon nano tube growth.
Background technology
Carbon is one of most important element in the known elements, and can combine with oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen etc.Carbon has four kinds of unique crystal structures that comprise diamond, graphite, soccerballene and carbon nanotube.Especially, carbon nanotube is meant that growth has the helical tubular structure of single wall or many walls, and generally is known as single-walled nanotube (SWNT) or many walls nanotube (MWNT) respectively.Obtain the structure of these types by the curling sheet that forms by a plurality of hexagons.By wherein each carbon atom is combined with three adjacent carbon atoms forming described, thereby form spiral element.Carbon nanotube has usually at the diameter of part nanometer to the magnitude of hundreds of nanometer.
Known carbon nanotube can be used for providing for example interior electron emission of Field Emission Display of vacuum unit.Carbon nanotube is used as the cost that electron emitter has reduced vacuum unit, comprising the cost of Field Emission Display.Replace other electron emitter (for example, the little point of Spindt) to realize the reduction of the cost of Field Emission Display with carbon nanotube, other electron emitter is compared with carbon nanotube-based electron emitter, has higher manufacturing cost usually.
If use chemical vapour deposition or other film deposition technique make at the bottom of the carbon nanotube launching base on the scene on from the catalytic surface growth, then can further reduce the manufacturing cost of the vacuum unit (for example, Field Emission Display) that uses carbon nanotube.As the nearest deposition method that prevents the electron emitter performance degradation, can carry out the growth of nanotube by other device processing technology or step (for example, wet method).
According to the diameter of shape that is rolled into and spiral element, carbon nanotube also can play conductor as metal, perhaps play semi-conductive effect.For metallic-like nanotubes, found that unidimensional carbon back structure can at room temperature essentially no resistance ground conduction current.In addition, can think that the electronics free migration passes this structure, make metallic-like nanotubes can be used as ideal interconnection body.When semiconducting nanotubes was connected to two metal electrodes, this structure can play field-effect transistor, wherein can make nanotube switch to state of insulation by conduction by apply voltage to grid.Therefore, because carbon nanotube particular structure, physics and chemical property, they are the potential members that are used for the nanoelectronic device.
The method of existing preparation nanotube comprises arc-discharge technique and laser ablation technology.Regrettably, these methods are produced the loose material with the nanotube that interweaves usually.Recently, J.Kong, A.M.Cassell and H Dai be at Chem.Phys.Lett.292, in 567 (1988) and J.Hafner, and M.Bronikowski, B.Azamian, P.Nikoleav, D.Colbert, K.Smith and R.Smalley are at Chem.Phys Lett.296, reported in 195 (1998) by thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method and use Fe/Mo or the Fe nanoparticle as catalyzer, prove to have formed high-quality single Single Walled Carbon Nanotube (SWNT).The CVD method makes the alternative growth of single SWNT, and has simplified the method for preparing the SWNT based devices.Yet, can be used in the CVD method, promoting that the selection of the catalystic material that SWNT grows is restricted to the Fe/Mo nanoparticle usually.In addition, catalytic nanoparticles is obtained by wet chemical method usually, and it is consuming time and be difficult to use in and make little characteristic patternization.
The other method of making nanotube is to come depositing metallic films to form catalytic nanoparticles with ion beam sputtering.At L.Delzeit, B.Chen, A.Cassell, R.Stevens, C.Nguyen and M.Meyyappan are in Chem.Phys.Lett.348, in one piece of article in 368 (2002), describe the CVD growth of SWNT under 900 ℃ and above temperature, wherein used the Fe or the Fe/Mo bilayer film of thin bottom layer of aluminum load.Yet required high growth temperature has hindered the fusion of CNT growth with other device producing method.
As A.Thess, R.Lee, P.Nikolaev, H.Dai, P.Petit, J.Robert, C.Xu, Y.H.Lee, S.G.Kim, A.G.Rinzler, D.T.Colbert, G.E.Scuseria, D.Tomanet, J.E.Fischer and R.E.Smalley be at Science, and 273, reach D.S.Bethune in 483 (1996), C.H.Kiang, M.S.de Vries, G.Gorman, R.Savory, J.Vazquez and R.Beyers are at Nature, described in 363,605 (1993), in laser ablation and arc discharge method, Ni is used as one of catalytic material that is used to form SWNTs always.
Form the nickel catalyzator nanoparticle in any case, all formed zone of oxidation around under the environment on the catalyst nanoparticles.Traditionally, before growing nano-tube, in the reduction phase of growth cycle, remove oxide compound with hydrogen.Yet this must carry out before carbon nano-tube immediately, and depended on CNT growing technology and the processing condition that adopted, and for example hot phase article on plasma strengthens, reactive gas is formed and gas temperature, and not every oxide compound all is removed.This has caused the reduction of catalyst activity and reducing of active sites density, grows on catalyzer as expectation thereby cause having hindered carbon nanotube.Embodiment disclosed by the invention is used diamond-like carbon (DLC) layer catalyst deactivation before being included in process of growth, compares with the catalyzer of known technology, and this can increase catalyst activity and selectivity, and produces better carbon nanotube.
