Description

Preparation method of narrow-diameter distribution and high-purity metallic single-walled carbon nanotube
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of controllable preparation of metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes, in particular to a preparation method of a narrow-diameter-distribution high-purity metallic single-walled carbon nanotube.
Background
Single-walled carbon nanotubes with different chiral angles and diameters can behave as metallic and semiconducting. The metallic single-walled carbon nanotube has ultrahigh electric transport property due to quantum transport effect, and is an excellent electrode material in future nano-electronic devices, and the semiconductor single-walled carbon nanotube has high carrier mobility and a one-dimensional structure, and is an ideal material for constructing a field effect transistor channel. Therefore, obtaining single-walled carbon nanotubes (metallic or semiconducting) with high purity and single conductivity property is a necessary premise for realizing the application of the single-walled carbon nanotubes in the field and has important significance.
At present, although the controllable preparation work of the single-walled carbon nanotube is greatly advanced, most of the single-walled carbon nanotubes utilize the characteristic that the semiconductor single-walled carbon nanotube has lower chemical reaction activity than the metallic single-walled carbon nanotube, and the metallic carbon nanotube is removed by introducing etching gas in situ to obtain the semiconductor-enriched single-walled carbon nanotube. In contrast, metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes are more difficult to prepare and less selective preparation has been reported. The only representative work is as follows: (1) by controlling the nucleation stage of the single-walled carbon nanotube, the method comprises the following steps: controlling the surface state and morphology of the catalyst during nucleation to preferentially grow metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes (literature I: Harutyunyan A.R.; Cheng, G., Sumanasekera, G.U.et.al.science,2009,326,116); (2) the high-temperature stability of the catalyst and the control of the crystal phase exposing a specific crystal face are realized, and the matching of the catalyst with the specific crystal face and the single-walled carbon nanotube with a specific structure is realized (document II: Yang, F.; Wang, X.; Li, Y.et al.Nature 2014,510,7506); (3) symmetry control of a specific crystal face of the catalyst is carried out, and symmetry matching of the catalyst and a carbon nanotube with specific properties is realized (three documents: Zhang, S.C.; Kang, L.X.; Zhang, J.et al.Nature 2017,543,7644); (4) the size of the high-melting-point non-metal oxide catalyst nano particles and the oxygen content in the growth process are controlled, and the direct growth of the narrow-diameter distribution and metallic single-walled carbon nano tubes is realized (four documents: Zhang, L.L.; Sun, D.M.; Liu, C.et al. advanced Materials,2017,29, 32).
However, there are still many problems with the current preparation of metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes: (1) the traditional metal catalysts such as iron, cobalt, nickel and the like are easy to agglomerate and Ostwald ripening in the chemical vapor deposition process at high temperature (>600 ℃) due to low melting point, and the particle size distribution is widened, so that the diameter distribution of the carbon nano tube is wide; (2) the regulation and control difficulty of the components and the structure of the bimetallic catalyst is high, and high-melting-point bimetallic catalyst nano-particles with uniform size and controllable components and structures cannot be obtained; (3) the low activity of the non-metallic catalyst causes low efficiency of metallic carbon nanotube growth; (4) the mechanism of controlled growth of metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes remains unclear.
Therefore, the main problems facing today are: how to develop a method for controllably growing narrow-diameter distribution metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes on the basis of understanding the controllable growth mechanism.

Detailed Description
As shown in FIG. 1, CoRe is used in the inventionxHigh melting point bimetallic solid solutionThe method for preparing the narrow-diameter distribution high-purity metallic single-walled carbon nanotube by using the bulk nano particles as the catalyst comprises the following specific preparation and growth processes:
the method is used for preparing monodisperse CoRe with narrow diameter distribution by regulating and controlling the self-assembly process of the block copolymer and the method for forming nano particles by post-treatmentx(X ═ 1 to 9) bimetallic nanoparticle catalysts; obtaining uniform-sized block copolymer micelles by adopting a block copolymer self-assembly method, wherein each block copolymer micelle is subjected to spin coating, dipping and chemical adsorption of quantitative bimetallic anions, so that uniform-sized metal nanoclusters are obtained; by controlling the composition ratio of bimetal and the conditions of low-temperature oxidation and reduction, the CoRe with monodisperse, close-packed hexagonal structure and high melting point is obtainedxCatalyst nanoparticles; and then the quasi-static chemical vapor deposition is realized by controlling the growth kinetic conditions of low temperature, low carbon source, low hydrogen and low flow rate, so that carbon atoms are slowly diffused and assembled on the surface of the catalyst, the maximization of the difference of the growth rates of the metallic single-walled carbon nano-tubes and the semiconductor single-walled carbon nano-tubes is realized, and the metallic single-walled carbon nano-tubes with narrow diameter distribution (the diameter is 1.1 +/-0.3 nm) and high purity (the purity reaches 80 wt%) can be directly and controllably grown.
The invention combines the design of the catalyst with growth thermodynamics and kinetics control, realizes the direct controllable growth of the metallic single-walled carbon nanotube with narrow diameter distribution and high purity, improves the structure control precision of the metallic single-walled carbon nanotube and lays a material foundation for promoting the application of the metallic single-walled carbon nanotube.
As shown in fig. 2, the mechanism for controlling the growth of narrow diameter distribution metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes is as follows:
first, thermodynamically, the catalyst CoRexCompared with Co, the cobalt-rhenium alloy has a higher melting point, a cobalt face-centered cubic melting point of 1495 ℃, and a close-packed cubic melting point of the cobalt-rhenium alloy>2000 ℃, can effectively inhibit catalyst agglomeration, high-temperature Oswald ripening, nanoparticle high-temperature melting and thermal vibration, thereby stabilizing the structure of the carbon cap in the nucleation stage, so that the prepared particles have smaller and more uniform size, are beneficial to growth of single-walled carbon nanotubes with narrow diameter distribution, and CoRexIs connected withThe structure is hexagonal close packing, which is beneficial to the nucleation of metallic carbon nano-tubes;
secondly, in terms of kinetics, since Co has a stronger affinity with H than Re, the Co surface can adsorb 5 hydrogen atoms ([ CoH ]5]4-) Or 4 hydrogen atoms ([ CoH ]4]5-) The Re surface can adsorb 9 hydrogen atoms ([ ReH ]9]2-) Or 6 hydrogen atoms ([ ReH ]6]5-) Thus CoRe4More hydrogen atoms are adsorbed on the surface, so that the active sites adsorbed on the metal surface are occupied, and the adsorption, catalytic cracking and surface diffusion of a carbon source on the surface of the catalyst are inhibited. Therefore, on the basis of obtaining the metallic carbon cap with uniform and stable size, the quasi-static chemical vapor deposition conditions of low temperature, low carbon source, low hydrogen and low flow rate are adopted, so that carbon atoms are slowly diffused and assembled on the surface of the catalyst in a quasi-static manner, the maximization of the growth rate difference of the metallic single-walled carbon nanotube and the semiconductor single-walled carbon nanotube is further realized, and finally, the long preferential growth of the metallic single-walled carbon nanotube is realized through the control of the growth time.
The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples.

The method comprises the steps of spin-coating a toluene and tetrahydrofuran solution (the mass ratio of toluene to tetrahydrofuran is 3:1) of polystyrene-b-poly (4-vinylpyridine) block copolymer (PS50000-b-P4VP13000) with the concentration of 0.01-0.25 wt% on the surface of a silicon wafer subjected to hydrophilic treatment at the rotating speed of 2000-7000 rpm to form a block copolymer micelle film, wherein the height of a block copolymer micelle is 6-15 nm. Then, the silicon wafer is immersed in a hydrochloric acid solution with a solvent of 0.01-1M (mol/L), wherein the solute is a bimetallic catalyst precursor salt (x mM (mmol/L) NaReO4And (0.5-x) mM (mmol/L) K [ Co (CN)6]3,x=01-0.3) for 1-3 min, adsorbing ReO4 -And [ Co (CN)6]3-The two metal anions are assembled into nanoclusters, and the control of cluster components can be realized by adjusting the concentrations of the two catalyst precursors in the bimetallic catalyst precursor salt solution. And taking out, washing with deionized water, drying at 50-60 ℃ for 15-20 min, and performing oxygen plasma treatment for 1-5 min.
And (3) placing the treated silicon wafer into a quartz boat of a tube furnace, oxidizing for 1-5 min at 700-750 ℃, pushing out the quartz boat, and cooling to room temperature. Then, introducing 500-800 sccm argon gas into the tubular furnace for 4min, and switching to 75-250 sccm Ar and 5-40 sccm H2Pushing the quartz boat carrying the silicon wafers into a constant temperature area for reduction for 2-5 min to obtain CoRexThe particle size of the solid solution nano-particles is 1.5-3.5 nm, and the prepared nano-particles are subjected to structural characterization.
As shown in fig. 3(a), the atomic force microscope characterization result indicates that the nanoparticles are uniformly dispersed on the surface of the silicon substrate. As shown in fig. 3(b), the transmission electron microscopy characterization results indicated that the nanoparticles were uniform in size. The diameters of 150 particles were counted at random, and the results are shown in FIG. 3(c), where the particle size distribution of the nanoparticles was 1.5 to 3.5 nm. FIG. 3(d-e) is a high resolution TEM image of the nanoparticles, the corresponding Fourier change is shown in FIG. 3(f-g), the visible particles are of a typical close-packed hexagonal structure, the lattice fringe spacing is 0.20-0.27 nm on the a-axis, and 0.32-0.44 nm on the b-axis.
As shown in fig. 4(a), the size and the composition distribution thereof were further characterized by HADDF, and the composition distribution thereof was uniform. As shown in fig. 4(b), from the EDS statistics of the particles, the atomic ratio Co corresponding to the element content of the particles: re is 1: 4. as shown in FIGS. 4(c-d), the particles both contained Co and Re.
(2) Preparing and characterizing the narrow-diameter distribution and high-purity metallic single-walled carbon nanotube:

And after the growth is finished, closing the carbon source, pushing the quartz boat out of the constant temperature area under the protection of argon, cooling to room temperature, and taking out the sample. Therefore, the single-walled carbon nanotube with narrow diameter distribution and dominant metallic property can be directly grown under the quasi-static chemical vapor deposition conditions of low temperature, low carbon source, low hydrogen and low flow rate.

A thin film of spin-on block copolymer (PS50000-b-P4VP13000) was immersed in a molar concentration of 0.25mM K3[Co(CN)6]+ molarity 0.25mM NaReO4In the solution, the heat treatment conditions are the same, the diameter range of the obtained CoRe nano-particles is 0.5-4.5 nm, the average particle size is 2.9nm, the atomic content ratio of Co to Re is 1:1, and the average size and diameter distribution range ratio of the particles is CoRe4Large and smaller than the diameter of the Co particles, and has an HCP structure.
CoRe prepared in the above comparative example1Nanoparticles as a catalyst, single-walled carbon nanotubes were prepared under the same conditions as in example (1) and their scanning and raman are shown in fig. 8 (d-f). Multi-wavelength raman characterization revealed that the metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes were present at about 50 wt%.
Comparative example 3: dynamic condition control-temperature
CoRe prepared as in example 1xThe nanoparticles are a catalyst, and the effect of temperature on the growth of carbon nanotubes is studied by increasing the growth temperature in example 1, and when the temperature is lower than that in example 1, the amount of carbon nanotubes obtained is small. With increasing temperature, carbon nanotubesThe density, length and growth rate of the carbon nano tube are obviously improved, and the distribution range of the diameter and the conductive property of the carbon nano tube is widened. The temperature conditions of example 1 were also demonstrated to favor the controlled growth of narrow diameter and metallic carbon nanotubes.

The result shows that with the increase of the carbon source concentration, the density, the length and the growth rate of the carbon nano tube are all obviously improved, and the diameter and the conductive property distribution range of the carbon nano tube are widened. When the carbon source concentration is too high, the catalyst is deactivated due to carbon supersaturation, and the ability to grow carbon nanotubes is reduced. This further confirms that the carbon source concentration used in example 1 is suitable for narrow diameter distribution and controlled growth of metallic carbon nanotubes.

The appearance of the prepared single-walled carbon nanotube is subjected to a scanning electron microscope and multi-wavelength Raman spectrum characterization, and the carbon source has strong decomposition capacity under the condition of no hydrogen, the grown carbon nanotube has high density and long length, and the Raman spectrum characterization shows that the diameter distribution range is widened and no conductive property selection exists; when H is present2When the flow rate of (2) is increased to more than 6sccm, the inhibition effect of hydrogen on the decomposition of the carbon source is enhanced, the growth rate of the carbon nanotube is reduced, the metallic carbon nanotube having a small diameter is etched, and the diameter of the carbon nanotube moves in the direction of a large diameter. This further confirms that the appropriate hydrogen concentration for example 1 facilitates the controlled growth of narrow diameter and metallic carbon nanotubes.
