Description

Lignin-based carbon nanotube and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of lignin carbon materials, and particularly relates to a lignin-based carbon nanotube and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The carbon nano tube as a one-dimensional nano material has extremely high aspect ratio, light weight and small thickness, so that the carbon nano tube has high specific surface area, has unique optical, electric, thermal, mechanical and other characteristics, has attracted wide attention since the formal discovery in 1991, and has great potential in the fields of energy, catalysis, materials and the like.
The methods commonly used for preparing carbon nanotubes include arc discharge, laser ablation, chemical vapor deposition, and the like. The arc discharge method and the laser ablation method input high energy through physical means, consume solid carbon sources such as graphite, carbon black and the like, and induce carbon atoms to self-assemble into the carbon nano tube, so that the prepared carbon nano tube has a complete structure, high graphitization degree and few defects. However, the arc discharge method and the laser ablation method require vacuum conditions and continuous replacement of graphite targets, are expensive, and are difficult to perform large-scale continuous production. The chemical vapor deposition method uses gas such as methane, ethylene, acetylene, benzene, etc. as a carbon source, and the carbon source is decomposed into carbon atoms on a catalyst, and carbon nanotubes are formed on the catalyst. The chemical vapor deposition method has the advantages of mild operation conditions, low cost, controllable synthesis and the like, and is a suitable method for producing the carbon nano tube on a large scale. However, the chemical vapor deposition method has high requirements on equipment, poor product graphitization degree, high catalyst manufacturing cost and complex post-treatment.
Lignin is the most abundant natural aromatic polymer in nature and is also a major byproduct in the paper industry. Due to the advantages of being renewable, rich in functional groups, high in carbon content, high in aromaticity and the like, the lignin becomes a potential precursor for preparing advanced carbon-based materials. At present, lignin-based carbon materials such as carbon fibers, porous carbon, carbon microspheres and the like are developed, and the lignin-based carbon materials have application potential in the fields of adsorption, catalysis, energy storage and the like. At present, few research reports on lignin-based carbon nanotubes are reported, and the research reports mainly focus on pyrolysis, in particular on the preparation of carbon nanotubes by cracking lignin into carbon source gas and then catalyzing. Luo Weihua and the like pyrolyze lignin @ catalyst nano micelle (Chinese patent application CN112265981A) and catalyst/lignin micro-nano fiber (Chinese patent application CN112342642A) prepared by electrostatic spinning in a protective atmosphere, and obtain the lignin-based carbon nano tube after acid treatment. Shao gift books and the like, the transition metal oxide/SBA-15 supported catalyst and lignin liquid are mixed, frozen, dried and calcined at high temperature, and then acid-base treatment is carried out to obtain the lignin-based carbon nano tube with hierarchical pore structure (Chinese patent CN 112973625A). On one hand, pyrolysis and calcination often require higher temperature and longer time, and the energy consumption of the process is high; the synthesis of the catalyst and the subsequent catalytic conversion reaction conditions need to be strictly controlled and are harsh; on the other hand, the carbon nanotubes prepared by the two methods are difficult to control in morphology and difficult to utilize at a high value.
In conclusion, the methods of arc discharge, laser ablation, chemical vapor deposition and the like for preparing the carbon nanotubes all use fossil energy as a carbon source, the equipment requirement is high, the preparation conditions are severe, and the post-treatment purification process is complex; the preparation of the carbon nano tube by taking the lignin as the carbon source needs high-temperature heat treatment and uses expensive catalyst for catalytic conversion. Therefore, a method for preparing the lignin-based carbon nanotube with simpler process, greenness, high efficiency and controllable appearance needs to be developed.

And then immersing the porous alumina template into a sodium lignosulfonate aqueous solution, performing ultrasonic treatment for 1min, and standing for 12 h. And taking out the porous alumina template after the standing is finished, and ultrasonically cleaning the porous alumina template twice by using deionized water for 30s each time, wherein the self-assembly of the second layer is finished. And sequentially putting the second layer of self-assembled porous alumina template into the used positive and negative electro-lignin aqueous solution according to the method, performing ultrasonic treatment, standing, washing, and circularly repeating the operation until 10 layers are self-assembled. After the self-assembly, the excess lignin attached to the upper and lower surfaces of the porous alumina template is wiped off by a cotton swab.
(3) And putting the self-assembled porous alumina template into a tubular furnace, carbonizing in an inert gas atmosphere, heating to 600 ℃ at a heating rate of 5 ℃/min, and keeping for 30 min. And putting the obtained carbonized porous alumina template into 6mol/L NaOH solution for stirring and dissolving. After complete dissolution, the sample is centrifugally washed for 30min by using 10000r/min of deionized water, the washing times are 4 times, and finally the pH value is 7. And (3) freezing the obtained suspension in a refrigerator overnight, and then carrying out freeze drying for 2 days by using a freeze dryer at the temperature of-60 ℃ and under the condition of 10Pa to obtain the lignin-based carbon nanotube.
In the comparative example, the concentrations of the quaternized lignin solution and the sodium lignosulfonate aqueous solution are too low, the self-assembly efficiency is too low, and after each layer of self-assembly lasts for 12 hours, the wall of the carbonized lignin-based carbon nanotube is still too thin and is sheet after freeze-drying, so that the shape of the independent tube cannot be identified.
Comparative example 3
(1) Dissolving 200mg of quaternized lignin in 100ml of deionized water, performing ultrasonic treatment for 30min to fully dissolve the lignin, centrifuging at 4000r/min for 10min, and taking supernatant to obtain a quaternized lignin aqueous solution. 200mg of sodium lignosulfonate is dissolved in 100ml of deionized water, and the lignin is fully dissolved by ultrasonic treatment for 30min to obtain a sodium lignosulfonate aqueous solution.
(2) Immersing a porous alumina template with the aperture of 60nm into a quaternized lignin aqueous solution, performing ultrasonic treatment for 1min, and standing for 6 h. And (3) taking out the porous alumina template after standing, directly immersing the porous alumina template into sodium lignosulfonate aqueous solution, performing ultrasonic treatment for 1min, and standing for 6 h. And taking out the porous alumina template after the standing is finished, and finishing the self-assembly of the second layer. And sequentially putting the second layer of self-assembled porous alumina template into the used positive and negative electro-lignin aqueous solutions according to the method, performing ultrasonic treatment, standing, and circularly repeating the operation until 10 layers are self-assembled.
(3) And putting the self-assembled porous alumina template into a tubular furnace, carbonizing in an inert gas atmosphere, heating to 600 ℃ at a heating rate of 5 ℃/min, and keeping for 30 min. And putting the obtained carbonized porous alumina template into 6mol/L NaOH solution for stirring and dissolving. After complete dissolution, the sample is centrifugally washed for 30min by using 10000r/min of deionized water, the washing times are 4 times, and finally the pH value is 7. And (3) freezing the obtained suspension in a refrigerator overnight, and then carrying out freeze drying for 2 days by using a freeze dryer at the temperature of-60 ℃ and under the condition of 10Pa to obtain the lignin-based carbon nanotube.
According to the comparative example, because each layer of the porous alumina has no cleaning step after self-assembly, the redundant lignin adsorbed on the surface of the porous alumina prevents new lignin molecules from entering a pore channel for self-assembly, so that the pipe wall of the comparative example is very thin, and most of the lignin becomes a carbon shell in the shape of the surface of the template after carbonization.
