Description

Preparation method of catalyst for growth of small-diameter bulk-phase single-walled carbon nanotube
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of a carbon material growth catalyst, in particular to a preparation method of a small-diameter bulk-phase single-walled carbon nanotube growth catalyst.
Background
The structurally controllable growth of single-walled carbon nanotubes is a key challenge in high-end applications such as quantum devices, bioimaging, electronics, optoelectronics, and the like. The band gap width of the semiconductor single-walled carbon nanotube is directly related to the tube diameter. The band gap can be regulated and controlled by controlling the diameter of the single-walled carbon nanotube so as to meet the requirements of corresponding application. For example, for near infrared bioluminescence imaging, single-walled carbon nanotubes with a tube diameter of 0.8-1.2nm can emit fluorescence in the near infrared 2-region window of biological tissue. For a single photon light source in a quantum device, the single-walled carbon nanotube with the tube diameter of 0.9-1.2nm has a proper light-emitting wavelength. In the single-walled carbon nanotube thin film field effect transistor, the size and uniformity of the band gap of the carbon nanotube directly affect the performance of the device. In single-walled carbon nanotube-fullerene solar cells, the internal quantum efficiency of the cell decreases as the diameter of the carbon nanotube increases, which means that only small diameter carbon nanotubes are suitable for use in such solar cells. Meanwhile, the bulk carbon nanotubes with small diameters are easier to disperse in solution, so that the method is more suitable for separating and obtaining the carbon nanotubes with different conductivities and chiral indexes by a solution phase separation means.
In the process of growing single-walled carbon nanotubes by Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), two key factors for controlling the diameter of the carbon nanotubes are mainly used, one is the regulation and control of the size distribution of catalyst particles, and the other is the control of CVD conditions. First, the size distribution of the catalyst directly affects the diameter distribution of the carbon nanotubes. The zeolite, magnesia, alumina, mesoporous silica and the like can be synthesized into nano-particles with uniform and controllable size by a solution chemical method, and the nano-particles can be used as a catalyst or a catalyst precursor to grow the carbon nano-tube with controllable diameter. The size of the nano particles can be effectively controlled by using long-chain carboxylic acid or amine molecules as a protective agent or using apoferritin, dendritic polymers, block copolymers and the like as a nano reactor, so that a uniform carbon nano tube catalyst precursor can be synthesized. The catalyst support can generally serve to stabilize the size of the catalyst and limit catalyst agglomeration.
In the prior art, porous materials such as zeolite, mesoporous silica and the like are commonly used as catalyst carriers, and although the porous structure plays a role in limiting the size of the catalyst, the zeolite and the mesoporous silica carrier are difficult to remove, which brings certain inconvenience to the preparation and application of the carbon nanotube.

The fourth aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a small-diameter single-walled carbon nanotube, comprising the steps of:
step a, adding a catalyst into a tube furnace, and raising the furnace temperature to the growth temperature of the carbon nano tube.
The catalyst is the catalyst according to the first aspect of the present invention or the catalyst prepared by the preparation method according to the second aspect of the present invention, and the prepared catalyst is placed in a tube furnace.

The growth time of the carbon nano tube is 5-30 min, and the preferable growth time is 10-25 min. More preferably, the growth time is 15-20 min.
And b, introducing a carbon source to prepare the carbon nano tube.
In the present invention, the carbon source is selected from one or more of methanol, methane, carbon monoxide, ethanol, ethylene, acetylene, propanol, toluene and xylene, preferably from one or more of methanol, methane, carbon monoxide, ethanol and toluene, more preferably from one or more of methane and ethanol, such as ethanol.
The kind of the carbon source has a great influence on the diameter of the carbon nanotube, and experiments show that the diameter of the carbon nanotube grown by using ethanol as the carbon source is smaller than that of the carbon nanotube grown by other carbon sources under the same conditions.
In the present invention, the carbon nanotubes are grown by adding a mixture of an inert gas, preferably argon, and hydrogen.
The inert gas is introduced at a rate of 100 to 300sccm, preferably at a rate of 150 to 250sccm, and more preferably at a rate of 200 sccm.

The ratio of the carbon source to the hydrogen introduction rate also has an influence on the tube diameter of the carbon nano tube, the diameter of the carbon nano tube is gradually reduced along with the reduction of the carbon source to hydrogen introduction ratio, when the introduction ratio is too low, namely the hydrogen introduction rate is too high, the growth of the carbon nano tube is inhibited, if the carbon source introduction rate is too high, a grown graphitized carbon layer quickly coats a catalyst to prevent the catalyst from contacting new carbon source molecules, so that the catalyst is inactivated, and therefore, the growth preparation of the small-diameter carbon nano tube is facilitated only by the proper introduction rate ratio.
The diameter of the small-diameter single-walled carbon nanotube is 0.9-1.2 nm. The method is suitable for the fields of near-infrared biological fluorescence imaging, quantum device single photon light sources and the like.
The invention has the following beneficial effects:

(2) the method for removing the catalyst carrier in the small-diameter bulk-phase single-walled carbon nanotube growth catalyst is simple, and the catalyst carrier can be removed only by soaking with dilute acid, so that the subsequent application of the carbon nanotube is facilitated;
(3) the carbon nanotube prepared by the preparation method of the carbon nanotube has a smaller diameter of 0.9-1.2nm, and is suitable for being applied to the fields of near-infrared bioluminescence imaging, quantum device single photon light sources and the like.

Examples of the experiments
Experimental example 1 Raman test
The carbon nanotubes prepared in comparative example 2 and comparative example 3 were subjected to raman measurement at laser wavelengths of 532nm and 633nm, respectively, using a raman spectrometer of the LabRAM armamis type from Horiba Jobin-Yvon corporation, and the measurement spectrum at the laser wavelength of 532nm is shown in fig. 1, and the measurement spectrum at the laser wavelength of 633nm is shown in fig. 2.
As can be seen from fig. 1 and 2, the RBM peak position of the carbon nanotubes grown by using ethanol is significantly higher than that of the carbon nanotubes grown by using methane, which indicates that the diameter of the carbon nanotubes grown by using methane is larger than that of the carbon nanotubes grown by using ethanol.
The carbon nanotubes prepared in comparative example 2, comparative example 4 and comparative example 5 were subjected to raman measurement at laser wavelengths of 532nm and 633nm, respectively, using a raman spectrometer of the LabRAM armamis model from Horiba Jobin-Yvon corporation, and the measurement spectra at the laser wavelengths of 532nm are shown in fig. 3 and 633nm, respectively.
As can be seen from fig. 3 and 4, the RBM peak of the carbon nanotube grown using the sulfate precursor (prepared in example 1) occurs at a higher wave number, that is, the tube diameter of the carbon nanotube is smaller, the acetate grows next to, and the tube diameter of the carbon nanotube grown using the nitrate is the largest.
The carbon nanotubes prepared in comparative example 2, comparative example 6, comparative example 7, comparative example 8, comparative example 9, comparative example 10, comparative example 11 and comparative example 12 were subjected to raman test using a LabRAM ARAMIS type raman spectrometer of Horiba Jobin-Yvon corporation at laser wavelengths of 532nm and 633nm, respectively, as shown in fig. 5 for a test spectrum at a laser wavelength of 532nm and 633nm for a test spectrum at a laser wavelength of 633nm, as shown in fig. 6.
As can be seen from FIGS. 5 and 6, the Raman spectrum shows 100-180 cm as the hydrogen flow rate gradually increases from 0 -1 The RBM peak gradually weakens or disappears (corresponding to the single-walled carbon nanotube with the diameter of 2.4-1.3 nm), and 200cm -1 The RBM peak above gradually increased (corresponding to single-walled carbon nanotubes with diameters less than 1.2nm), indicating that the diameter of the grown carbon nanotubes gradually decreased with decreasing carbon to hydrogen ratio in the CVD atmosphere. When the carbon-hydrogen ratio is too low, namely the hydrogen flow is too high, an RBM peak does not appear in a Raman spectrogram any more, and the growth of the carbon nano tube is inhibited.
The carbon nanotubes prepared in comparative example 2, comparative example 13, comparative example 14, comparative example 15 and comparative example 16 were subjected to raman measurement at laser wavelengths of 532nm and 633nm, respectively, using a raman spectrometer of the LabRAM armamis type from Horiba Jobin-Yvon corporation, and the measurement spectrum at the laser wavelength of 532nm is shown in fig. 7 and the measurement spectrum at the laser wavelength of 633nm is shown in fig. 8.
In fig. 7 and 8, as the growth temperature of the carbon nanotube increases from 700 ℃ to 900 ℃, the intensity of the RBM peak with a lower wave number in the raman spectrogram gradually increases, which means that the tube diameter of the carbon nanotube gradually increases with the increase of the temperature, and when the growth temperature is 600 ℃ and 1000 ℃, the growth efficiency of the carbon nanotube is obviously reduced, and the RBM peak does not appear in the raman spectrogram.
The carbon nanotubes prepared in comparative example 2 and example 2 were subjected to raman measurement at laser wavelengths of 532nm and 633nm respectively using a LabRAM ARAMIS type raman spectrometer of Horiba Jobin-Yvon corporation, and the measurement spectrum at the laser wavelength of 532nm is shown in fig. 9 and the measurement spectrum at the laser wavelength of 633nm is shown in fig. 10.
As can be seen from FIGS. 9 and 10, the RBM peak in the Raman spectrum of the carbon nanotube obtained after EDTA addition exhibits a blue shift, indicating that the diameter of the carbon nanotube after EDTA addition is reduced, as calculated from the RBM peak position (obtained from Zhang, D.; Yang, J.; Li, Y.Small,2013,9,1284-1304.doi: 10.1002/smll.201202986), and the diameter of the carbon nanotube grown after EDTA addition is in the range of 0.9-1.2 nm.
