Description
Technical field
The novel method of the boron nitride nano-tube that the present invention is a preparation purity height, productive rate is big relates to inorganic nano material.
Background technology
Boron nitride nano-tube is a kind of very special nanotube-shaped material.It has stable insulativity, high thermal stability and chemical stability and special mechanical property and electric property.Received huge concern in the monodimension nanometer material field in recent years.Electronic structure calculation shows that boron nitride nano-tube is a kind of semiconductor material, has fixed bandwidth (5.5ev).Different with CNT (carbon nano-tube), its band system does not rely on the wall number of diameter, chirality feature and the nanotube of pipe.Therefore, boron nitride nano-tube has been simplified the complicacy that the 1-dimention nano pipe can be with, and make making nano level semiconductor element becomes possibility, for the research of one dimension Nano structure with the tempting prospect that provides is provided.Boron nitride nano-tube can be brought into play its potential effect at the aspects such as coating layer of nano electron device, nanostructure stupalith, storage hydrogen and anti-oxidation, has a good application prospect.
The technology of preparing of boron nitride nano-tube. report is a lot of now.Famous preparation method has arc discharge method, laser ablation method, electric arc melting method, chemical Vapor deposition process and chemical method etc.Above-mentioned these methods, what have need carry out under high temperature or condition of high voltage, and what have is very difficult when the control reaction conditions, and obtains the dispersion of boron nitride nanometer tubular construction usually, and output is few, and purity is low.Make boron nitride nano-tube be subjected to restriction to a certain degree in application facet.Ball milled is to prepare nanometer powder method commonly used, successfully prepares nanocrystal, nanoparticle and nano combined component.In mechanical milling process, because friction, collision and extruding between grinding element and the material cause the structural changes of material, as producing internal stress, viscous deformation, defective and crackle etc.Because the structural changes of material and chemical reaction are caused by mechanical energy, rather than heat energy,, and belong to non-equilibrium reaction so chemical reaction can take place at normal temperatures.Compare with the electric arc melting method with above-mentioned arc discharge method, ball milled at room temperature carries out, and annealing temperature low (<1500 ℃).But with this method respectively the people such as also rare .YingChen of synthesis of nano pipe at room temperature respectively B powder and boron nitride powder are carried out ball milling, then it is carried out anneal, obtained boron nitride nano-tube.Because thermal treatment is carried out under flowing nitrogen, so the boron nitride nano-tube purity that they obtain is low, productive rate is not high yet.For obtaining the boron nitride nano-tube of high yield, we adopt ball milled, contain boron and avirulent boron compound is a raw material with boron oxide, boric acid etc., elder generation's ball milling regular hour, under the mobile ammonia, heat-treat then, be incubated certain hour after being heated to the temperature more than 800 ℃, after cleaning, obtained phase purity height, the boron nitride nano-tube that productive rate is big.The preparation method that we adopt, required equipment is simple, and technology is simple and easy to do, and thermal treatment temp is low, and is safe.Low cost, high yield, good, the growing controllable of purity can realize producing in batches, are more satisfactory preparation methods.Therefore the further widespread use in the nanometer field is significant for boron nitride nano-tube in the present invention.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is achieved in that and at first selects for use boron oxide, boric acid etc. to contain boron and avirulent boron compound is a raw material, more than the first ball milling 4h, is being heated under the mobile ammonia more than 800 ℃ then, more than the insulation 0.5h.Take out the cooling back, through cleaning after drying, obtains white powder and be boron nitride nano-tube.
