Description

Method for growing carbon nano tube by carbon fiber surface loaded core-shell structure catalyst and application
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of carbon fiber surface modification, in particular to a method for growing carbon nanotubes by using a catalyst with a core-shell structure supported on the surface of a carbon fiber and application of the catalyst.
Background
The statements in this section merely relate to the background of the present disclosure and may not necessarily constitute prior art.
As one of the emerging high performance materials of great interest, carbon fiber has been used in a large number in the fields of weaponry, aerospace, building reinforcement, geological mining, vehicle ships, sporting goods, and the like. However, the most important form of application, carbon fiber reinforced composites, are limited in terms of various mechanical properties by poor bonding of the fiber/matrix interface. The nano-scale reinforcement of the interface phase with a certain thickness, namely the carbon nano tube-carbon fiber multi-scale reinforcement, is realized by growing a carbon nano tube network on the surface of the carbon fiber in situ, and the nano-scale reinforcement is one of the most potential interface reinforcement methods. The preparation method of the multi-scale reinforcement has realized serialization, and has the advantages of easy operation, low equipment cost and the like.
The catalyst is a core element for preparing the carbon nano tube-carbon fiber. The carbon source molecules are separated into active carbon units under the catalysis of the carbon source molecules, and the carbon units are diffused in the catalyst particles and assembled into a carbon nano tube structure on the surface of the carbon fiber. The carbon nanotube catalyst widely used at present comprises magnetic nano particles such as iron, cobalt, nickel and the like and non-magnetic nano particles such as copper and the like. The catalyst is formed on the surface of the carbon fiber in situ in a precursor conversion mode, and metals with different physical properties can form nano particles with different distributions and sizes on the surface of the carbon fiber and also show different catalytic behaviors. Presently disclosed catalysts include single component catalysts, as well as multi-component catalysts composed of two or more metals in combination. However, from the perspective of individual particles, the constituent structure is a homogeneous metal or alloy, i.e., a catalyst of homogeneous structure.
The carbon nano tube-carbon fiber multi-scale reinforcement prepared at present has the following problems: irregular carbon nanotube structure, uneven carbon nanotube distribution, coating of carbon fiber surface by a large amount of amorphous carbon impurities, strength reduction caused by catalyst etching of carbon fiber surface, and the like. These problems can further lead to the composite materials having internal defects, stress concentrations, poor resin wetting, and other weaknesses. The use of different metals as catalysts can circumvent one or both of these problems, but other problems are correspondingly exacerbated, which is a difficult problem for catalysts of homogeneous structure to cross over.
In summary, various homogeneous structure catalysts adopted in the prior art have difficulty in solving various defects of carbon nanotube structures, distribution, impurities, damage of the catalyst to fiber strength and the like existing in the prepared carbon nanotube-carbon fiber. The homogeneous composition structure makes the catalytic performance of various metals difficult to be synergistically exerted.

In a second aspect, the invention provides a carbon nanotube-carbon fiber multi-scale reinforcement prepared by the method for growing carbon nanotubes by using the carbon fiber surface supported core-shell catalyst.
In a third aspect, the present invention provides a carbon fiber composite comprising the carbon nanotube-carbon fiber multi-scale reinforcement of the second aspect.
In a fourth aspect, the invention provides the use of the carbon fiber composite material in military equipment, aerospace, sporting goods, industrial equipment, infrastructure, marine vehicles, and new energy component energy.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects:
(1) The catalyst can effectively combine different catalytic performances of the A, B catalyst components, and can obtain a catalyst with excellent performance by selecting metal with uniform particle size and distribution and lower melting point as an A component (core), such as copper or copper-nickel alloy, and selecting metal with high catalytic efficiency as a B component (shell), such as nickel; meanwhile, the metal with small diffusion coefficient in the carbon fiber is adopted as the A component, such as copper, so that the damage of the fiber strength can be remarkably reduced.

Table 2 shows the graphitization degree of the multi-scale reinforcement of the carbon nano tube-carbon fiber prepared in the examples 1-2 and the comparative examples 1-5 according to the present invention.
TABLE 2 comparative table of graphitization degree of carbon nanotube-carbon fiber multiscale reinforcement
As can be seen from table 2, the carbon nanotube-carbon fiber multiscale reinforcement prepared by using the core-shell structure catalyst supported on the carbon fiber surface of the present invention has significantly better graphitization degree (i.e., smaller raman R value) than the carbon nanotube prepared by using the homogeneous catalyst of each comparative example. As can be seen from fig. 2, the carbon nanotubes on the surface of the product obtained in example 1 had a regular hollow tubular structure, while the surface of comparative example 2 using a single nickel component had a nanowire structure. As can be seen from fig. 3, the multi-scale reinforcement of carbon nanotubes-carbon fibers obtained in example 1 has uniform thickness, is very clear, contains almost no nodules and clusters, and the multi-scale reinforcement of carbon nanotubes-carbon fibers prepared in comparative example 2 is more disordered and accompanies a large amount of impurities. As can be seen from the Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) products and distribution summarized in Table 2, in the comparative examples, the products were either rare (as in comparative example 1) or too dense with poor structures such as impurities and clusters, whereas the CVD deposition products obtained in the present invention were mainly carbon nanotubes uniformly and densely distributed on the surface of the carbon fibers.
Table 3 shows the physical properties of the multi-scale reinforcement of carbon nanotubes-carbon fibers prepared in examples 1-2 and comparative examples 1-5 of the present invention.
TABLE 3 physical Properties of carbon nanotube-carbon fiber multiscale reinforcement
As can be seen from table 3, the carbon deposition amount of the carbon nanotube-carbon fiber multiscale reinforcement prepared according to the present invention is significantly higher than that of comparative examples 1 and 3 using pure copper and pure cobalt catalysts, comparable to comparative examples 4 and 5 using copper nickel alloy catalysts, and lower than that of comparative example 2 using pure nickel catalysts. Although comparative examples 2, 4, and 5 have higher carbon deposition amounts, it can be seen from table 2 and fig. 3 that more amorphous carbon impurities exist in each of comparative examples 2, 4, and 5. Too little growth of the carbon nanotubes may result in insufficient interfacial bonding of the resin, while too much carbon nanotubes and accompanying impurities may result in the resin being blocked from impregnating. The invention not only avoids the mass production of impurities, but also obtains more high-quality deposition products. These advantages can also be seen from the specific surface area and contact angle data of table 3, the larger specific surface area side reflects less carbon impurities blocking the pores in the product of the invention; lower contact angles indicate better wettability, higher porosity and less amorphous impurity carbon. The data show that the carbon nano tube-carbon fiber multi-scale reinforcement prepared by the invention has obvious structural advantages compared with the prior art.
Table 4 shows the comparison of interface properties of the carbon nanotube-carbon fiber multi-scale reinforcement prepared in the examples and comparative examples.
TABLE 4 carbon nanotube-carbon fiber multiscale reinforcement interfacial properties
The structural advantage in the microcosmic field enables the multi-scale reinforcement of the carbon nano tube-carbon fiber prepared by the invention to be greatly improved in the aspect of interface performance. Table 4 shows that the interfacial shear strength and the interlaminar shear strength of the multi-scale reinforcement of carbon nanotubes-carbon fibers prepared in examples 1 and 2 are significantly better than those of each of the comparative examples. Comparison of interlayer shear modulus shows that the carbon nano tube prepared by the invention has obvious reinforcing effect on the interface of the composite material, so that the modulus of the composite material is greatly improved. The mechanical property of the prepared composite material is greatly improved by firmly combining the interfaces, which proves that the carbon nano tube-carbon fiber multi-scale reinforcement obtained by catalyzing the growth of the carbon nano tube by adopting the carbon fiber in-situ supported core-shell structure catalyst has excellent performance.
Table 5 shows the tensile properties of the fiber monofilaments of the carbon nanotube-carbon fiber multi-scale reinforcement prepared in the examples and comparative examples of the present invention after catalyst loading and carbon nanotube growth.
TABLE 5 tensile Properties of fiber monofilaments after catalyst loading and carbon nanotube growth
The loading of the metal catalyst results in a weakening of the carbon fiber strength, which is restored to some extent by the CVD process. The degree of damage caused by different kinds of metals is different, and compared with cobalt and nickel, copper has less damage to carbon fibers. Copper is less catalytically efficient and therefore less repair is caused during CVD. It can be seen from table 5 that the advantages of the core-shell catalyst with copper as the inner core and nickel as the outer layer are combined in the embodiment 1, so that the damage caused by the loading of the catalyst is reduced, the higher repairing effect is ensured, and finally, the carbon nano tube-carbon fiber multi-scale reinforcement with the highest tensile strength and modulus is obtained, and the tensile performance is even better than that of the carbon fiber serving as the raw material. The strengthening of the tensile property of the reinforcement body also enhances various mechanical properties of the composite material.
The above description is only of the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention, but various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
