Therefore, a target of the present invention provides the method at the even CNT film of substrate preparation, for example prepares in the conductive substrates with good uniformity and low material consumption. Another target is patterning CNT film, with for the preparation of electronic application. So the CNT film of preparation can be used for being installed in the cathode assembly in the field emission apparatus.
Adopt method of the present invention to prepare the CNT film, the method is deposited on CNT in the substrate for the use electrochemical appliance, and in order to realize this purpose, the method for this paper relates to the use electrochemical cell. This battery comprises negative electrode, positive plate, negative electrode is connected to the first conductive path of power supply and the second conductive path that power supply is connected to positive plate.

CNT of the present invention both can be many walls nanotube (MWNT), also can be single-walled nanotube (SWNT). MWNT for example, it comprises several concentric nanotube, each nanotube has different diameters. Thereby the pipe of diameter minimum is by the larger pipe encapsulation of diameter, and the pipe that this diameter is larger then is again by the larger nanotube encapsulation of another diameter. On the other hand, SWNT only comprises a nanotube.
CNT can prepare by several different methods, also can be by commercially available. The synthetic method of CNT comprises the laser evaporation graphite method [people such as A.Thess, Science 273,483 (1996)], the arc discharge method [people such as C.Journet, Nature 388,756 (1997)] and HiPCo (high pressure carbon monoxide) method [people such as P.Nikolaev, Chem.Phys.Lett.313,91-97 (1999)].

In one embodiment, in the time will being dispersed in the electrolyte solution that comprises in the battery by the complex compound that CNT and anionic polymer molecule form, can promote the deposition of this complex compound on the galvanic anode plate by adding optional coagulating agent within it.Coagulating agent is with the negative electrical charge on the anionic polymer in the neutralized complex.Because anionic polymer/CNT complex compound group is mainly repelled (or by the repulsion around two layers of the positively charged of complex compound) mutually by electronegative complex compound and is kept dispersity, therefore, use coagulating agent these negative electrical charges (or compressing this two layers) that neutralize, make the complex compound group in electrolyte solution, keep the power of dispersity removal.Because the position of very pressing close to positive plate that is reflected at of coagulating agent neutralized complex takes place, therefore, complex compound (no longer disperseing) will change solid phase into from solution mutually with different degree, assemble and agglomeration state (being similar to the formation of floccule and flocculate) thereby be gradually, assemble then and be deposited on the surface of positive plate.Except the CNT complex compound, deposition material onboard also can comprise coagulating agent remnants.
If in electrolyte solution, there are first and second anionic polymers, for example form first polymer of complex compound with CNT, and with first polymer phase than second polymer looser with the association of CNT or that do not associate with CNT, then they can begin deposition simultaneously on anode surface.First polymer can for example be deposited in the matrix of second polymer.Additional materials for example exists conductivity or functionalized particulate with the validity and the performance of positive plate in the enhanced field emitter in electrolyte solution if desired, then itself and anionic polymer/CNT complex compound can be deposited on the positive plate simultaneously.Fig. 2 shows by carrying out the representative instance of the film type that this type of deposition forms on positive plate, and film has good homogeneous owing to material uniform deposition and good adhesion on its whole surface.
Be adapted at being used for herein and the coagulating agent of anionic polymer/CNT complex compound purposes comprises inorganic coagulant, the Tricationic that forms by metal for example, these metals comprise VIII/VIIIA family metal, for example iron, cobalt, ruthenium or osmium.Because the effect maximum of Tricationic neutralized complex can be ten times of bivalent cation, therefore provides the method easily of coagulating agent to be: in electrolyte solution, provide bivalent cation, terpyridyl ruthenic chloride (II) for example, wherein 2 +Cation is oxidized to 3 owing to having been captured electronics by positive plate +Valency.Fig. 1 shows this machine-processed representative schematic diagram.
Yet in alternative embodiment, do not use coagulating agent, wherein positive plate is formed by metal (for example silver or nickel).In this case, the dissolving metal on the plate is in electrolyte solution, and the cation neutralization that formed by metallic atom of the electric charge on anionic polymer/CNT complex compound, and these metallic atoms enter the solution from the solid metal that forms plate.
