Description

The metal plating method of CNT (carbon nano-tube)
[technical field]
System of the present invention is relevant with CNT (carbon nano-tube), especially means a kind of method of using the metal plating treatment agent to carry out metal plating in CNT (carbon nano-tube).
[background technology]
CNT (carbon nano-tube) (Carbon Nanotube; CNT) be Japanese NEC senior fellow Sumio Iijima (SumioIijima) professor when prepare C60 with arc discharge method 1991 Christian eras, the unexpected discovery during cluster of observing carbon with transmission electron microscope.According to different pattern of growth, the kenel of CNT (carbon nano-tube) generally is divided into the individual layer CNT (carbon nano-tube) that diameter is several nanometers, and diameter is the multi-layer nano carbon pipe of dozens of nanometer, and the two thickness of pipe is several nanometers only.According to the arrangement architecture difference of carbon atom in CNT (carbon nano-tube), can get the CNT (carbon nano-tube) of tool semi-conductor or conductor characteristics, it not only can be used at Field Emission Display for this, more can be applicable to aspects such as hydrogen storage material, biomedicine, transistor.In numerous technique of display, Field Emission Display (Field Emission Display; FED) being known as is the new technology of having an opportunity to replace LCD most.Similar traditional cathode tube (the Cathode-Ray Tube of the know-why of FED; CRT), therefore have less trigger voltage and higher current density; And emission principle is for utilizing the eletrode tip radius-of-curvature little, and electronics penetrates easily, and general electron beam gun also is to utilize this principle to get electronics; Therefore the principle of nano carbon pipe field-emission display is identical with electron beam gun, because CNT (carbon nano-tube) has less diameter, electronics is easier to be excited out, also so CNT (carbon nano-tube) (Carbon Nanotube; CNT) be a kind of material that has the good field emission characteristic in the equivalent material of present many emission.
For making its characteristic of CNT (carbon nano-tube) performance, in practical application, can utilize no electric metal method of coating to make the CNT (carbon nano-tube) surface plate a metal plating.And there is not the electric metal method of coating is form the metallic membrane method on the base material that does not have electroconductibility a kind of, general use be by be adhered in advance base material as catalyst rare metal (as: palladium) and activate relevant method, and do the pre-treatment that electroless plating is used.So far, the existing use a kind ofly makes Pd be adsorbed on method on the base material by handle the back the hydrochloric acid solution with SnCl2 by impregnated in the PdCl2 aqueous solution, or a kind ofly make Pd be supported on lip-deep method by the colloidal solution that contains Sn and Pd, but these methods have the problems such as treatment step of the required complexity of many use Sn.Therefore existing many at present methods that can form the silane coupling agent with functional group of misfit thing with these rare metals, as: Japan's special permission communique clear 59-52701 number, day disclosure special permission communique clear 60-181294 number, the content that day disclosure is speciallyyed permit clear 61-194183 number and Japan's special permission communique is disclosed for flat 3-44149 number, be and support use from the teeth outwards with precious metal (as: Pd) method as the catalyst of electroless plating, even the electroless plating method and the metal plating treatment agent thereof that can be applied to dusty material or specular material easily also arranged at present, disclose as Taiwan No. 438905 patents of bulletin.
But when utilizing aforementioned these no electric metal method of coating to make CNT (carbon nano-tube) plate metal plating, plate metal plating again after often CNT (carbon nano-tube) can't being uniformly dispersed individually, as Fig. 1 and shown in Figure 2, be exactly that CNT (carbon nano-tube) 10 is because of van der waals forces (van der Waals ' forces) and electrostatic force cause gathering to each other, so behind plated with nickel coating 20, the inabundant plated with nickel coating 20 in CNT (carbon nano-tube) 10 surfaces; So will be distributed to very even being not easy to CNT (carbon nano-tube) individually, so the technology of manufacturing of a lot of correlative study or practical application can be made in-and-out result, reproducibility is very unstable.
[summary of the invention]
Technical scheme to be solved by this invention provides the metal plating method that a kind of CNT (carbon nano-tube) is used the metal plating treatment agent, CNT (carbon nano-tube) is disperseed individually, and then make the abundant metal plating of body structure surface, improves CNT (carbon nano-tube) conduction transport property itself.
For addressing the above problem, the present invention can adopt following technical scheme: CNT (carbon nano-tube) is put into dispersion liquid and metal plating treatment agent in regular turn, or CNT (carbon nano-tube) put into the solution that metal plating treatment agent and dispersion liquid are arranged simultaneously, and utilize the ultrasound concussion to make the indivedual really dispersions of CNT (carbon nano-tube), carry out the CNT (carbon nano-tube) that electroless plating obtains this metal plating then, this dispersion liquid can be low carbon number alcohols solution.
Compared with prior art, the present invention has following beneficial effect: utilize the physics of CNT (carbon nano-tube) itself and unreactiveness good not can with the aitiogenic characteristic of other material, not only can make CNT (carbon nano-tube) when using the metal plating treatment agent at metal plating, what make can be uniformly dispersed, and can make the abundant metal plating of CNT (carbon nano-tube) body structure surface, solve coating problem pockety in the past, even use when Field Emission Display, can improve CNT (carbon nano-tube) originally under electric field action, have more very large field enhancement factor, make that electron beam is easier to be disengaged, and improve the magnitude of current density of emission.
The invention will be further described below in conjunction with graphic and embodiment.
