Currently, there are three main ways to prepare single-walled carbon nanotubes: arc methods, laser ablation methods, and chemical vapor deposition methods. The existing arc method and laser ablation method have low yield and high energy consumption, and are difficult to realize large-scale production. The floating catalytic chemical vapor deposition method is the most batched technical scheme at present due to the continuity of raw material supply and product collection. However, the prior art is limited by the limitations of the size of the synthesis equipment cavity, and the yield is not high (less than 1 gram per hour). The yield can be further improved by increasing the number of the reaction pipelines, but the equipment structure is complex because of excessive number of the pipelines, the consistency of the products is difficult to control, and the mass production is difficult. The method is a mode for improving productivity by increasing the size of the cavity, but because the reaction condition of the single-walled carbon nanotube is harsh, the temperature field distribution of the furnace body is changed after the size of the cavity is enlarged, vortex is formed in the cavity by air flow, the heat capacity of carrier gas is small, the temperature in the middle and at the tube wall is uneven after cold air flow is introduced, the carbon nanotube grows along the tube wall more easily, and the volume growth is not realized, so that the yield and the purity are lower.
For the floating catalytic cracking method in the prior art, how to optimize the reaction cavity structure from the angle of the growth mechanism of the single-walled carbon nanotubes, fully realize the dynamic process of gasification-cracking-carbon melting-precipitation of the organic precursor, and further improve the yield of the single-walled carbon nanotubes is a problem to be solved.

The invention further technically improves that: the water-cooling heating coil is a copper coil pipe with circulating cooling water inside.
The invention further technically improves that: the aperture range of the through hole on the graphite unit is 5 mm-50 mm.
The method for preparing the single-walled carbon nanotubes by the reaction device comprises the following steps:
step one, connecting a gas-liquid pipeline, and placing a graphite unit in a high-temperature region of a high-temperature furnace tube;
step two, introducing air in the inert gas evacuating device, setting power parameters of the two sections of temperature areas, and starting an intermediate frequency heating device of the two sections of temperature areas;
step three, after the temperature in the high-temperature furnace tube in the high-temperature area reaches a set temperature, opening an airflow pipeline and a capillary liquid pipeline, feeding gas and liquid according to a certain airflow speed and a certain liquid feeding speed, and starting an ultrasonic atomization device to synthesize the single-walled carbon nanotube;
and step four, the atomized fluid enters a high-temperature furnace tube to undergo a catalytic cracking reaction, carbon-containing free radicals are melted on the surface of the catalyst and enter a product collecting device along with air flow, and carbon atoms are separated out to form flocculent single-walled carbon nanotubes.
The invention further technically improves that: the gas flow rate of the gas-liquid supply device is 5L/min-100L/min, and the liquid flow rate is 0.5 ml/min-20 ml/min.

According to analysis, the yield of the comparative example is much lower than that of the example, mainly because the heat capacity in a hearth of a high-temperature area is small, the actual reflected temperature is insufficient in the air flow process, and the contact between a carbon source and a catalyst is insufficient.
Comparative example three
The third comparative example is identical to the first example in that the heating mode is replaced by a silicon-molybdenum rod resistance heating unit matched with an insulating layer, and the temperature in the furnace tube is 1600 ℃;
the single-walled carbon nanotube powder prepared in this comparative example had a yield of 13G/h, a purity of 42% and a G/D of 34.
According to analysis, the yield of the comparative example is lower than that of the example 1, mainly because of the influence of the heat insulation material of the silicon-molybdenum rod high-temperature furnace, the temperature distribution in the hearth is changed, and the carbon dissolving-carbon separating process is influenced.
In summary, the medium-frequency induction heating device with the low-temperature area introduced into the two-stage temperature area can rapidly heat the catalyst particles formed after ultrasonic atomization to high temperature in an induction manner from a microscopic angle, which is essentially different from the temperature radiation in the high-temperature area, and the method improves the activity and the carbon dissolving capacity of the catalyst;
in addition, the porous graphite unit structure is adopted, the inert atmosphere of the closed space can be utilized to protect the graphite heating unit from being damaged under the condition of long-term high temperature, and meanwhile, catalyst particles and a carbon source can be more fully contacted in the porous structure after cracking, so that the carbon dissolving process is easier to realize.
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, but is capable of modification and variation in all aspects, including those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
