Description

Preparation method of nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube, nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube and application of nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube
Technical Field
The invention particularly relates to a preparation method of a nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube, the nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube and application thereof.
Background
Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) have been widely studied in the fields of electronics, biological probes, field emission, heat conduction, specialty materials, particularly in the environmental and energy fields, due to their large long diameter and specific surface area, and excellent mechanical properties. Carbon nanotubes have excellent applications as candidate materials, such as electrode materials, exchange membranes, catalysts, sensors, microelectronic elements, fuel cells, and the like. Carbon nanotubes are the hot spot of current research and have considerable potential for commercial exploitation. The current method for preparing carbon nanotubes is: graphite arc process, floating catalyst process, laser vapor process, pyrolytic polymer process, chemical vapor deposition. Among these methods, the chemical vapor deposition method is widely used as a method for preparing carbon nanotubes because it can adjust experimental conditions such as a carbon source, a catalyst, and a synthesis atmosphere. However, the use of carrier gas in the method causes low yield of the carbon nano tube, high operation cost and complex tail gas treatment; at the same time, the differences between the solid phase catalyst particles make the morphology of the resulting carbon nanotubes somewhat uniform.
The homogeneous medium method is a green process for preparing controllable nano materials, the environment for elementary growth of the materials in the homogeneous medium is completely the same, and the method has the advantages of cheap and easily-obtained raw materials, simple preparation process and low cost.
In view of the above problems, it is necessary to develop a method that combines the homogeneous medium method with the chemical vapor deposition method, so as to solve the problem of non-uniform morphology of the carbon nanotubes.

In the invention, the gas inlet end and the gas outlet end are adjusted in the tubular furnace to create the static atmosphere in the chemical vapor deposition, thereby avoiding the use of carrier gas, saving the consumption of gas and avoiding a severe tail gas absorption device.
Specifically, in the step (1), the feeding molar ratio of the ferric trichloride to the calcium chloride is 0.5-2.5: 1.
Specifically, in the step (1), the low-boiling alcohol solvent is ethanol or propanol. In the invention, a low-boiling-point alcohol solvent is used as a solvent, a solution of ferric trichloride hexahydrate and calcium chloride of the low-boiling-point alcohol solvent is formed, and the shape and the area of a deposition area are changed by utilizing the liquidity of the solution.
Specifically, in the step (2), the temperature of the calcination is 600-1000 ℃.
Specifically, the molar ratio of the total feeding of the ferric trichloride and the calcium chloride to the feeding of the melamine is 1: 30-260.
The melamine can be used as a carbon source and a nitrogen source and can also be used as a synthetic atmosphere of chemical vapor deposition; the excess melamine can be recovered for reuse after carbonization.
