The pulse power supply is adopted for electrochemical deposition, when the current is conducted, the pulse peak current is several times or even tens times higher than the common direct current, and the instantaneous high current density enables metal copper ions to be reduced under extremely high overpotential, so that grains of a copper deposition layer are thinned, the copper grains are quickly nucleated on the surface of carbon nano tube fibers, an acting point is provided for the deposition of the subsequent metal grains, the interface binding force between metals of the carbon nano tube is effectively improved, when the current is turned off, discharge ions near a cathode region are restored to the original concentration again, concentration polarization is eliminated, the next pulse period is facilitated to continue using the high pulse peak current density, and meanwhile, the phenomena of favorable recrystallization, adsorption and desorption and the like for the deposition layer are also accompanied in the turn-off period. Such a process periodically runs through the beginning and end of the plating process, with the mechanism involved constituting the most basic mechanism for pulse plating.
The method is characterized in that the method adopts a pulse electroplating method to directly and uniformly deposit copper nano crystal grains on the surfaces of the carbon nano tube fibers and in gaps among the carbon nano tube fibers, so that the interfacial bonding force between the carbon nano tube and a copper layer can be effectively improved, and the strength and the conductivity of the carbon nano tube composite wire can be effectively increased through the interaction among crystal boundaries. The synchronous wheel transmission is utilized, so that the internal stress of the fiber is effectively reduced, and the method has a good effect on improving the strength of the carbon nano tube composite wire.

Parameter description: 1. sample number of the copper-plated precursor wire is CL320200615-2 times of copper acetate; 2. the measurement time was 20200722; 3. a measured value of resistance of 5cm of fixed length fiber; 4. the used instrument is 2450, a ruler, a universal meter and a super depth of field microscope; 5. the electroplating current adopts pulse current; 6. numbering illustrates, for example, pulses 7-0.5-2-500-20200321: the plating current type is pulse current, the plating current is 7mA, the current on time is 0.5S, the current off time is 2S, the cycle number is 500, and the plating date is 20200721.
(9) Conductivity analysis:
with the increase of electroplating time and current, the increase of the speed of coating the surface of the carbon tube fiber in the beaker by copper can be easily observed, the color is more similar to copper, the longer the electroplating time and the larger the current are compared with the specific performance parameter table obtained after calculation, the better the conductivity of the CNT/copper composite fiber obtained after electroplating is, the samples with the numbers of 7-0.5-2-1200-20200321, 49-1-2-120-20200321 and 70-0.5-2-120-20200321 are respectively, the conductivity of the samples is very similar to that of pure copper, and the highest conductivity is 5.75x10 7 S/m, about 96.47% of pure copper, almostLike pure copper, the copper-free alloy can save a lot of copper if being applied to mass production.
Intensity analysis:
according to the table, the breaking strength of the pulse 35-1-2-120-20200321 reaches 33.5CN, the strength of the pulse 35-1-2-120-20200321 reaches 1735.57MPa after the combination of the cross sectional area calculation, and the breaking strength is slightly lower than 1805.81MPa of a copper acetate precursor sample with sample number CL320200615-2 times; the sample strength of the sample with the sample number of 7-0.5-2-1200-20200321 is 670.69MPa, which is obviously lower than other samples, and the copper-plated fibers become brittle because of the large number of electroplating cycles and thicker plating layers; other samples all exceeded 1GPa, far exceeding pure copper, but all decreased to a different extent relative to the wire samples, indicating that the wire strength after copper plating was lower.
When the strength and conductivity are compared, the samples numbered pulse 49-1-2-120-20200321 and pulse 70-0.5-2-20200608 have the best performance, the strength exceeds 1GPa, and the conductivity reaches more than 95% of pure copper.
It can be seen that when the current is 7mA, the current on time is 0.5S and 1S, the off time is 2S, and the cycle number is 120, the electroplated copper is little, and no obvious change is observed; the current is 21mA, the current on time is 0.5S, the off time is 2S, and the circulation times are 120 times as above; the current is 21mA, the current conduction time is 1S, the disconnection time is 2S, the obvious electroplating of the copper layer can be seen when the circulation times are 120 times, the color is changed to be the same as that of copper, the electroplating of a part is not complete, and the strength and the conductivity are not high; when the current reaches 35mA and above, copper grains are observed to be deposited on the carbon tube fiber rapidly at a macroscopic speed, and the electroplating efficiency is high. The longer the electroplating time is, the larger the current is, the higher the conductivity of the carbon tube fiber copper composite wire obtained after electroplating is, the electroplating current is 49mA, the current conduction time is 1S, the disconnection time is 2S, and the conductivity of the prepared carbon tube fiber copper composite wire is the highest when the circulation time is 120 times, thereby achieving 5.75X10 7 S/m, electroplating current of 70mA, current on time of 1S, off time of 2S and circulation times of 120 timesConductivity of the fiber copper composite wire is 5.56×10 7 S/m, the strength is highest and reaches more than 96% of pure copper, and the strength reaches more than 1.3 Gpa. However, if the current is increased again, the plating speed is increased, and the plating layer is thicker, but the granularity of the copper crystal grains on the plating is also larger, so that the brittleness of the carbon tube fiber copper composite wire is increased, and the flexibility is deteriorated.
Example 4
The preparation process of the carbon nano tube fiber is as follows:
(1) Experimental Process and design
Instrument and equipment and raw materials: a middle ring single temperature zone tubular shaft furnace, ethanol, ferrocene, thiophene and copper acetate;
technological parameters: the temperature is 1170 ℃, the speed of H2900sccm, ar300sccm, the liquid injection speed is 12ml/H, the needle head is inserted into 10cm, and the rotating speed of a spinning shaft is 30r/min;
the raw materials are as follows: copper acetate is added on the basis of a liquid preparation with the experiment number of CL320200115, and different copper-iron ratios are selected for comparison experiments, wherein Cu/Fe=0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 are adopted as 4 groups of samples, and the copper-iron ratio is the atomic ratio.
Remarks: 1. the specific formula of the preparation liquid of the sample with the experiment number of CL320200115 precursor is 7.696g of ferrocene, 5.13g of thiophene and 500g of analytically pure ethanol;
the test conditions and results are shown in Table 2.
TABLE 2
Figure BDA0002968190130000111
Figure BDA0002968190130000121
Remarks: 1. the resistance is a measured value of a fixed-length resistance of 5 cm; 2. sample formula No. CL320200115 was 1.5 times iron, 1.5 times sulfur, anhydrous; 3. the copper acetate in the liquid with the number of CL320200615-2 times of copper acetate is saturated; 4. the filaments at the time of measuring the resistance value have been twisted.
From the data in the above table, it can be seen thatThe conductivity and the strength of the precursor after copper doping in the mixed solution are higher than those of the precursor without copper doping, and the conductivity and the strength of the prepared carbon nanotube fiber are improved along with the continuous increase of the copper-iron ratio, wherein the sample with the number of CL320200615-2 times of copper acetate has the best performance, the strength reaches about 1.8Mpa, and the conductivity is improved by several times compared with the sample with the number of CL 320200115; the conductivity reaches 8.20 multiplied by 10 5 S/m, although 2.86×10 with pure copper 7 S/m is still inferior by 2 orders of magnitude, but has been improved by more than 1 order of magnitude compared with the sample with the number of CL320200115, the performance is quite excellent, and the performance can be further improved by adopting post-treatment processes such as electroplating, annealing and the like.
(2) Mechanical property analysis:
the trend chart of the breaking strength of the precursor wires with different copper-iron ratios in fig. 11, and the trend chart of the strength of the precursor wires with different copper-iron ratios in fig. 12, can be seen from fig. 11 and 12 that the breaking strength of the carbon nanotube fiber gradually increases with the increase of the copper-iron ratio in the preparation liquid, and the strength of the carbon nanotube fiber can be calculated to increase with the increase of the copper-iron ratio in the preparation liquid by combining the sectional area measured by the previous super-depth microscope, wherein the sample strength of the 2-time copper acetate formula is the highest and reaches 1.8Gpa, which is the strongest precursor wire prepared in the laboratory at present; and also verifies the conjecture of high sample strength.
(3) Analysis of electrical properties:
fig. 13 is a graph showing the trend of the resistance of a 5cm wire with different copper-iron ratios, and fig. 14 is a graph showing the trend of the conductivity of a wire with different copper-iron ratios.
As can be seen from FIGS. 13 and 14, as the copper-doped proportion in the solution increases, the resistance value of the 5cm fixed-length precursor sample measured by a universal meter gradually decreases, and by combining the cross-sectional area measured by the former super-field-depth microscope, the conductivity of the carbon nanotube fiber can be calculated to increase along with the increase of the copper-iron ratio in the solution, wherein the conductivity of the sample of the 2-time copper acetate formula is highest and reaches 8.2X10 5 S/m, although 2.86×10 with pure copper 7 The conductivity of S/m was still less than 2 orders of magnitude, but was 6.33X10 of the sample of the copper-free precursor compared to the formulation with the number CL320200115 4 S/m phase comparison has already been carried outThe method obviously improves the conductivity by more than an order of magnitude, and then prepares the carbon nano tube copper composite fiber by adopting a pulse plating method, and the conductivity is presumed to be higher than that of a plating sample of a copper-free precursor of the preparation liquid.
By combining the graphs and the analysis, the mechanical property and the electrical property of the precursor sample of the 2 times copper acetate formula can be seen to be the best.
The inventor tries ferrocene and copper sulfate/copper chloride first, and as a result, the solubility of copper sulfate in ethanol is poor, the solubility of copper chloride is slightly better than that of copper sulfate, but the prepared carbon tube fiber is discontinuous, and finally, copper acetate is adopted, so that the relative solubility is better, and the continuity of the prepared carbon tube fiber is better.
The formula for preparing the carbon tube fiber by the CVD method adopts experiments of 4 groups of copper-iron ratios of 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 for comparison, the copper-iron ratio is the molar ratio, the conductivity and the strength of the carbon tube fiber are gradually improved along with the increase of the copper-iron ratio, the conductivity is highest when the copper-iron ratio is 2, and the conductivity reaches 8.2 multiplied by 10 5 S/m, the strength is close to 2Gpa, copper acetate can not be completely dissolved when the solubility of copper acetate in ethanol is limited, and the copper-iron ratio is 2 times that of saturated solution.
