Description

本発明は、フラーレンファイバーの生成方法、特に、フラーレンを溶解した飽和溶液と前記フラーレンに対して貧溶媒となる液との界面に前記フラーレンからなるナノファイバーを生成させるフラーレンファイバーの生成方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a method for producing fullerene fibers, and more particularly to a method for producing fullerene fibers in which nanofibers comprising the fullerene are produced at the interface between a saturated solution in which fullerene is dissolved and a liquid that is a poor solvent for the fullerene.

従来より、アスペクト比が3以上(非特許文献1参照)のフラーレンファイバーを生成する方法については非特許文献2から5に示されているように各種のものが紹介されている。
しかし、いずれのものも、合成中の照射光、合成温度や溶媒の混合比率などにより調整することが示されているのみであり、従来の方法で、フラーレンファイバーの形状を特徴づけるアスペクト比を変化させるためには、温度と時間のパラメータを変化させて行う成長制御に頼らざるを得ず、結果的には、所望のアスペクト比のものを得るのは偶然に近い確率であった。
Conventionally, various methods for generating fullerene fibers having an aspect ratio of 3 or more (see Non-Patent Document 1) have been introduced as shown in Non-Patent Documents 2 to 5.
However, all of them are only shown to be adjusted by irradiation light during synthesis, synthesis temperature, solvent mixing ratio, etc., and the aspect ratio that characterizes the shape of fullerene fiber is changed by conventional methods. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to rely on growth control performed by changing parameters of temperature and time, and as a result, it is almost a coincidence probability to obtain a desired aspect ratio.

本発明は、このような実情に鑑み、フラーレンファイバーのアスペクト比を確実に調整することができる方法を提供することを目的とする。   In view of such circumstances, the present invention has an object to provide a method capable of reliably adjusting the aspect ratio of a fullerene fiber.

発明1のフラーレンファイバーの生成方法は、貧溶媒液中に水が混合されてなることを特徴とする。
発明2は、発明1のフラーレンファイバーの生成方法において、前記混合される水の分量を、生成されるフラーレンファイバーのアスペクト比に比例して調整することを特徴とする。
The method for producing fullerene fibers of the invention 1 is characterized in that water is mixed in a poor solvent liquid.
Invention 2 is characterized in that, in the method for producing fullerene fibers of Invention 1, the amount of the mixed water is adjusted in proportion to the aspect ratio of the produced fullerene fibers .

従来、液−液界面析出法によってフラーレンファイバーを合成するためには、高純度の溶媒を用いており、不純物として含まれる水を、合成において積極的に利用することは考慮しなかった。しかし、本発明によって、少量の水を不純物として含むアルコールを用いて、フラーレンファイバーを効率的に合成できることが可能であることがわかった。
この結果は、高価な高純度溶媒を用いずとも、より安価な低純度の溶媒を用いてフラーレンファイバーを合成することを可能としたものであり、価格を低下させることにより、フラーレンファイバーが社会に普及し、広く利用されるための方法が得られるという効果をもたらした。
さらに、水の量が増加すればアスペクト比が増加する関係にあることを知見するに至り、所望するアスペクト比のフラーレンファイバーを水の量の調整のみにより、容易確実に生成することができるようになった。
Conventionally, in order to synthesize fullerene fibers by a liquid-liquid interface precipitation method, a high-purity solvent is used, and the active use of water contained as an impurity in the synthesis was not considered. However, according to the present invention, it has been found that fullerene fibers can be efficiently synthesized using an alcohol containing a small amount of water as an impurity.
This result makes it possible to synthesize fullerene fibers using cheaper low-purity solvents without using expensive high-purity solvents. It brought about the effect of obtaining a method for widespread and widespread use.
Furthermore, we have come to know that the aspect ratio increases as the amount of water increases, so that fullerene fibers with the desired aspect ratio can be easily and reliably produced by adjusting the amount of water. became.

合成時の温度によってフラーレンファイバーの長さが変わるという速度論的研究を行った結果から、高い成長の活性化エネルギーが得られ、そのほとんどは脱溶媒和エネルギーであると考えられる。
今回、一定温度での合成で水を少量添加しただけでフラーレンファイバーの長さが長く成長したことから、水には脱溶媒和を促進させるような触媒作用があると考えられる。また、メタノールと水の混合溶媒では、水−メタノールクラスターを作っているという報告があり、今回用いたIPAと水の混合溶媒においても、クラスターを作っている可能性がある。溶媒の構造が変化したことでフラーレンファイバーの成長が促進されたことの可能性もあり得る。
いずれにしても、明快な理由はわからないが、合成時の温度やフラーレン濃度を一定にしておいても、水の分量により、生成されるフラーレンファイバーのアスペクト比を調整できることを知見するに至った。
下記実施例で用いた良溶媒はトルエン、貧溶媒はIPAであるが、良溶媒としてキシレン、ベンゼン、ピリジン等が使用できることは非特許文献6から8に示され公知の事実であるから、前記トルエンに代えてこれら溶媒を用いることに何らの困難性はない。
また、下記実施例では貧溶媒としてイソプロピルアルコールを用いたが、これと同じく極性溶媒として知られるメタノール、エタノール、ブタノールなどを用いることに何らの困難性はない。
さらに、水の添加によってフラーレンファイバーの成長が促進されたことから、合成が難しいフラーレンの誘導体やC70から成るフラーレンファイバーや中空のフラーレンファイバーの合成におけるアスペクト比の制御においても、本発明を適用でき、水の添加は有効であると考えられる。
水の添加量は、常温(20℃)における合成では、3質量%を上限とするのが適切であるが、反応温度がより高い場合は、直径が小さくなるので、アスペクト比が大きくなる。
また、温度を高くすることは、脱溶媒和プロセスをより速やかに進めることになるので、活性化エネルギーが低下し、より少量の水の添加量で成長が促進されることになると考えられる。温度が高くなると、同じアスペクト比のフラーレンファイバーは、より少量の水を添加したイソプロピルアルコールを用いて合成されると予想される。
フラーレンのアスペクト比と創製温度及び水の添加量は、以下の(式1)に示す関係が成立するものと思われる。
<式1>

From the result of kinetic study that the length of fullerene fiber changes with the temperature at the time of synthesis, high growth activation energy is obtained, most of which is considered to be desolvation energy.
This time, the fullerene fiber grows long just by adding a small amount of water in the synthesis at a constant temperature, so water is considered to have a catalytic action that promotes desolvation. In addition, there is a report that a mixed solvent of methanol and water forms a water-methanol cluster, and there is a possibility that the mixed solvent of IPA and water used this time also forms a cluster. There may be a possibility that the growth of fullerene fibers was promoted by the change in the structure of the solvent.
In any case, although the reason is not clear, the inventors have found that the aspect ratio of the fullerene fiber produced can be adjusted by the amount of water even when the temperature and the fullerene concentration during synthesis are kept constant.
The good solvent used in the following examples is toluene, and the poor solvent is IPA. However, it is known from non-patent documents 6 to 8 that xylene, benzene, pyridine and the like can be used as the good solvent. There is no difficulty in using these solvents instead.
In the following examples, isopropyl alcohol was used as a poor solvent, but there is no difficulty in using methanol, ethanol, butanol, etc., which are known as polar solvents.
Furthermore, since the growth of fullerene fibers was enhanced by the addition of water, even in the control of the aspect ratio in the synthesis of fullerene fibers and hollow fullerene fibers made of synthetic difficult fullerene derivatives and C 70, the present invention can be applied The addition of water is considered effective.
The amount of water added is suitably 3% by mass in the synthesis at normal temperature (20 ° C.), but when the reaction temperature is higher, the diameter becomes smaller and the aspect ratio becomes larger.
In addition, increasing the temperature will advance the desolvation process more rapidly, so that the activation energy is reduced and growth is promoted with a smaller amount of water added. At higher temperatures, fullerene fibers of the same aspect ratio are expected to be synthesized using isopropyl alcohol with a smaller amount of water added.
It is considered that the relationship shown in the following (Formula 1) is established between the aspect ratio of fullerene, the creation temperature, and the amount of water added.
<Formula 1>

60の良溶媒として、トルエン(特級、99.5%、和光純薬(株))を用いた。C60粉末(99.5%、MTR Ltd.)を2.8g/lでトルエンに加えて、30分間超音波処理をした。これを、シリンジフィルター(膜孔450 nm、PuradiscTM; Whatman Inc.,Clifton, NJ, USA)を用いてろ過してC60飽和トルエン溶液を作成した。貧溶媒としてイソプロピルアルコール(IPA、特級、99.7%、和光純薬(株))を用いた。IPAに添加したのは蒸留水(和光純薬(株))である。IPAに添加する水の量は表1に示すように、0、0.4、0.6、0.9、1.3、2.5、3.8、5、6.3、7.5、8.7、9.9、11.2、12.4%(質量%)になるようにした。20°Cに設定した恒温水槽で、C60飽和トルエン溶液4mlを入れたバイアル瓶に、蒸留水を添加したIPA4mlをゆっくり滴下して液−液界面を形成させた。そして手で混合し20°Cに保った恒温器(SANYO MIR−153)中で24時間静置させた。全試薬は、納品されたままのものを用いて、精製は行なわなかった。
図1に、典型的なフラーレンナノファイバーのSEM写真を示す。図2は蒸留水を添加したIPAを用いて合成した24時間後のバイアル瓶の写真である。
図2において、蒸留水添加IPAで合成したものは、蒸留水添加量2.5%以下でフラーレンファイバーの沈殿物が観察された。3.8%以上の蒸留水を添加したIPAを用いて合成したものでは、フラーレンファイバーを作成することはできなかった。図3は蒸留水0〜2.5%添加IPAで合成したフラーレンファイバーを光学顕微鏡で観察し、長さを測定した結果とSEM観察を行って測定した直径の結果から算出したアスペクト比を示す。3%以下、より好ましくは2.5%以下では、蒸留水の添加量が増加するとともにアスペクト比も増加した。


As the good solvent for C 60, toluene (special grade, 99.5%, manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries,) was used. C 60 powder (99.5%, MTR Ltd.) was added to toluene at 2.8 g / l and sonicated for 30 minutes. This was filtered using a syringe filter (membrane hole 450 nm, Puradisco ; Whatman Inc., Clifton, NJ, USA) to prepare a C 60 saturated toluene solution. Isopropyl alcohol (IPA, special grade, 99.7%, Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) was used as a poor solvent. Distilled water (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) was added to IPA. As shown in Table 1, the amount of water added to IPA is 0, 0.4, 0.6, 0.9, 1.3, 2.5, 3.8, 5, 6.3, 7.5. , 8.7, 9.9, 11.2, 12.4% (mass%). In a constant temperature water bath set at 20 ° C., 4 ml of IPA added with distilled water was slowly dropped into a vial containing 4 ml of a C 60 saturated toluene solution to form a liquid-liquid interface. And it was left to stand for 24 hours in the thermostat (SANYO MIR-153) which mixed by hand and kept at 20 degreeC. All reagents were used as received and were not purified.
FIG. 1 shows an SEM photograph of a typical fullerene nanofiber. FIG. 2 is a photograph of a vial 24 hours after synthesis using IPA to which distilled water was added.
In FIG. 2, fullerene fiber precipitates were observed when the synthesized water was added with distilled water-added IPA and the amount of distilled water added was 2.5% or less. A fullerene fiber could not be prepared by using IPA synthesized with 3.8% or more of distilled water added. FIG. 3 shows the aspect ratio calculated from the result of observing the fullerene fiber synthesized with IPA added with 0 to 2.5% distilled water with an optical microscope and measuring the length and the diameter measured by SEM observation. At 3% or less, more preferably 2.5% or less, the amount of distilled water added increased and the aspect ratio also increased.
