Description

Single-double-wall carbon nano tube rapid discharging device and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of nano material preparation devices, and relates to a single-double-wall carbon nano tube rapid discharging device and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Since Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) were first discovered, more and more different methods for synthesizing different types of CNTs have been reported. Among them, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have been industrialized in the first place by means of industrial fluidized bed reactors and the like. Single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and double-wall carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) are formed by crimping single-layer and double-layer concentric cylindrical graphene layers, and have more perfect physical structures, so that the single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and the double-wall carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) have excellent performances in the aspects of mechanics, electrochemistry, electronic devices and the like. At present, a great deal of research and development is put into SWCNTs at home and abroad, and the Russian OCSIAl company is the only enterprise for realizing the mass production of SWCNTs. In our studies, SWCNTs often accompany the formation of certain amounts of DWCNTs during the formation process, which we have ascertained has a significant relationship with the type and amount of promoter in the catalyst and can achieve a controlled preparation. However, it is still challenging to realize mass production of single-wall and double-wall carbon nanotubes with high quality, purity and yield.
In the preparation of SWCNT, it is desirable to provide a more uniform temperature field and higher temperatures. In the floating method preparation process, a uniform thermal field can be provided, and the prepared SWCNT product has high quality. However, the yield of the floating method process product is difficult to be improved and large-scale preparation cannot be realized due to the limitation of the introduced amount of the catalyst and other factors. In another process for preparing SWCNTs by a plasma arc method, the arc core has an ultra-high temperature (5000-20000 ℃) which can enable a large amount of catalyst to be rapidly evaporated to form nano particles, and the method has the most potential for preparing SWCNTs on a large scale because the ultra-high temperature is radiated to the surrounding area of the arc and has a temperature field of about 2000 ℃. We have also previously made a great deal of research work on the plasma arc process for SWCNTs, but the problem of discharge has not been well solved. In the preparation process of the SWCNTs, the generated SWCNTs often form a filiform structure, and the filiform structure has strong adhesiveness and can remain in a hearth and be continuously enriched, so that the smooth discharging of a product is affected. The enriched area of SWCNTs remained in the hearth is gradually increased, so that the new growth process of the carbon tube is affected, the subsequent growth cannot be continued, the hearth is required to be cleaned by stopping the furnace, and the method is also a common problem in the process of researching SWCNTs. Numerous researches cannot solve the problem of quality and yield at present, and the design of a furnace body structure and discharge is very important.
