Abstract

The invention relates to a method for purification of low-purity single-wall carbon nano-tubes. The method provided by the invention can realize purification of low-purity single-wall carbon nano-tubes by atmospheric oxidation, ultrasonic dispersion, centrifugal separation at different speeds, and hydrogen peroxide refluxing. Concretely, the method provided by the invention comprises the following steps of adding single-wall carbon nano-tube products subjected to atmospheric oxidation into a surfactant solution, carrying out ultrasonic dispersion, carrying out low-speed centrifugal separation and high-speed centrifugal separation to remove impurity particles, carrying out pressure filtration of the supernatant obtained by the high-speed centrifugal separation, mixing the filtrate and hydrogen peroxide, carrying out addition refluxing of the mixture, and carrying out vacuum filtration, flushing and drying to obtain the low-purity single-wall carbon nano-tubes. Compared with the prior art, the method provided by the invention avoids that waste liquid pollution is produced because of single utilization of hydrochloric acid in catalyst removal, and realizes removal of a catalyst according to a principle that the increasing of the weight of an oxidized catalyst is conducive to centrifugal separation. In purification, the centrifugal separation is a main process and oxidation adopting a weak oxidant H2O2 is an auxiliary process and thus the damage on a structure of the single-wall carbon nano-tube is small.

Description

A kind of method of purification of low-purity SWCN
Technical field
The invention belongs to carbon nanotube Technology field, especially relate to a kind of method of purification of low-purity SWCN.
Background technology
(Carbon Nanotubes is a kind of novel hollow tubular nanostructure that is bent to form by two-dimentional graphene film CNTs) to carbon nanotube, is the 4th kind of important allotropic substance of carbon except that graphite, diamond, soccerballene.Multi-walled carbon nano-tubes (Multi-walled carbon nanotubes; MWNTs) in the arc-over cathode deposit, find first in 1991 by Sumio Iijima professor (Iijima); Especially after 2 years SWCN (Single-walled carbon nanotubes, discovery SWNTs) has caused the extensive concern of numerous areas such as comprising physics, chemistry and Materials science.
The direct current arc electric discharge is the efficient production technology of a kind of high quality SWNTs; Prepared SWNTs has percent crystallinity height, few, the electronic mobility advantages of higher of defective; But this technology of preparing is significant disadvantages also; Also be that prepared SWNTs purity is not high, carbon granule or the like the impurity that has more decolorizing carbon, graphite particle, catalyzer in the product and be enclosed with catalyst particle.Therefore the SWNTs product being carried out purification processes is the prerequisite step with the SWNTs widespread use.At present common carbon pipe method of purification can be divided into three major types: 1. chemical method: comprise vapor phase process (air, Cl 2Handle), liquid phase method (HNO 3, H 2O 2, nitration mixture, KMnO 4Deng processing) etc.; 2. physics method: comprise filtration, spinning, high-temperature calcination, red, orange, green, blue, yellow (ROGBY) etc.; 3. synthetic method: filtration-oxidation-ultrasonic-spinning combines, filtration/magnetic filtration-oxidation-methods such as calcining combination.Though these methods can obtain the higher SWNTs of purity, there are shortcomings such as the SWNTS structure deteriorate is serious, purification efficiency is low, the purification cycle is long.Especially aspect purification degree SWNTs, use existing purification techniques to be difficult to realize that SWNTs purifies effectively.Therefore,, need a kind of practicable purifying technique of exploitation, can either obtain highly purified SWNTs, avoid this body structure of SWNTS to be seriously damaged again to the purification of low-purity SWNTs.
Summary of the invention
The object of the invention is exactly for the defective that overcomes above-mentioned prior art existence a kind of method of purification to the less low-purity SWCN of SWNTs structure deteriorate to be provided.
The object of the invention can be realized through following technical scheme:
A kind of method of purification of low-purity SWCN may further comprise the steps:
(1) the low-purity SWCN is handled back and tensio-active agent mixing ultra-sonic dispersion through atmospheric oxidation, one side is removed the decolorizing carbon that is produced in the preparation process; On the other hand catalyst oxidation is formed its oxide compound, increase the catalyst pellets protonatomic mass;
(2) finely dispersed SWCN solution is carried out low speed, ultra-sonic dispersion-high speed centrifugation separation respectively, remove impurity such as impurity such as comprising catalyst oxidation thing, big graphite particle and little graphite particle respectively;
(3) with mixing and reflux with ydrogen peroxide 50 after the supernatant press filtration behind the high speed centrifugation;
(4) with SWCN solution suction filtration to neutral, be drying to obtain pure SWCN.
Atmospheric oxidation described in the step (1) is treated to puts into air furnace with the arc-over product that contains SWCN, at 360~450 ℃ of following oxide treatment 30~60min.
Tensio-active agent described in the step (1) is sodium lauryl sulphate (SDS), X 2073 (SDBS) or commercially available triton x-100.
It is ultra-sonic dispersion 30~60min under the 3W/mL condition that ultra-sonic dispersion described in the step (1) is treated at power.
Low-purity SWCN described in the step (1) is 1~2wt% at the content of tensio-active agent.
Low-speed centrifugal described in the step (2) is separated into 6000~9000rpm spinning, 30~60min.
Ultra-sonic dispersion-high speed centrifugation described in the step (2) is separated into elder generation to the supernatant ultra-sonic dispersion 10~20min behind the low-speed centrifugal, and then carries out 12000~14000rpm spinning, 30~60min.
Mix the back at 100 ℃ of 4~8h that reflux with ydrogen peroxide 50 after the supernatant press filtration described in the step (3).
Compared with prior art, the present invention need not to utilize hydrochloric acid to remove catalyzer in purification process and causes waste liquor contamination, but weightening finish more helps spinning, its removal the most at last after utilizing catalyst oxidation.Secondly, owing to be main with spinning in the purification process, auxiliary weak oxidant (H 2O 2) oxidation, so purification process is less to the structure deteriorate of SWNTs.
