Description

Preparation method of carbon nanotube electrode and carbon nanotube electrode manufactured according to the present invention {Preparation method of carbon nanotube electrode, and the carbon nanotube electrode

The present invention relates to a method for producing a carbon nanotube electrode and a carbon nanotube electrode produced accordingly.

Carbon nanotubes are a tube-like structure composed of carbon, and because all carbon atoms are exposed to the surface, they are sensitive to minute physicochemical reactions and are known to have the mechanical robustness of carbon materials. Because of these properties, carbon nanotubes are in the spotlight in the field of nanotechnology, and research on various device applications using them has been reported.

In particular, since carbon nanotube transistors are composed of source, drain, and gate electrodes, they can measure the electrical conductivity of carbon nanotubes. Change in current flow can be detected as a signal. Therefore, it can be used in various fields such as biosensor for detecting E. coli or gas sensor that can detect dangerous gas leakage.It is a high-sensitivity sensor that can measure in real time, so it can be applied in various fields and is relatively inexpensive compared to other sensor manufacturing methods. This has the advantage of being possible.

In the case of the carbon nanotube transistor as described above, a device manufactured using one strand grown horizontally or a small number of carbon nanotubes can be used as an electrode having excellent characteristics by vertically growing carbon nanotubes. When the carbon nanotubes are above a certain density, they grow in a vertically aligned (VA) form due to the strong interaction between the tubes. In this case, the maximum surface area of the carbon nanotube, which is a one-dimensional nanostructure, is maximized. At the same time, it also has the advantages of three-dimensional structure electrodes. The nano-carbon electrode manufactured as described above has a large surface area and at the same time less diffusion limiting effect when used in an electrochemical sensor, thereby making it possible to manufacture an electrode having much higher sensitivity than conventional sensors. In addition, it is expected to exhibit high efficiency as an electrode of a fuel cell, and is also useful as a biological application for measuring or stimulating a signal of minute cells. In addition, carbon nanotubes made on metal can be used as electron guns or micro X-ray sources that can be used for displays.

Korean Patent No. 10-2000-0035702 discloses a nano-sized vertical transistor in which carbon nanotubes such as the above are grown vertically through chemical vapor deposition, and are applied to semiconductors to achieve high density and high integration. It is.

In addition, Korean Patent No. 10-2007-0057150 discloses an electronic device in which carbon nanotubes are vertically oriented, and has been shown to have an effect of realizing a highly integrated device more than twice as large as a horizontal structure because of vertical structure.

However, despite the excellent characteristics and wide applications as shown above, the development of carbon nanotube three-dimensional electrodes is not rapidly achieved. This is due to the difficulty in vertically connecting carbon nanotubes to metals. In order to fabricate the carbon nanotube three-dimensional electrode, the carbon nanotubes may be directly grown on the prefabricated metal electrode, or assembled on the metal electrode through a linker or a molecule serving as a pool. However, when carbon nanotubes are grown directly on a metal electrode, the growth of carbon nanotubes on a metal surface is very difficult, and thus it is not easy to realize them. This is because they lose their activity as. In addition, in the case of manufacturing a nano carbon electrode using a linker or other polymer, the alignment of the carbon nanotubes is not good, and the contact resistance between the metal electrode and the carbon nanotubes may be very large due to the linker molecules.

In order to solve the problems described above, the inventors of the present invention form an electrode of carbon material of the present invention, and form a catalyst layer having a multilayer structure such that carbon nanotubes can be vertically grown on top of the carbon nanotubes. The carbon nanotube electrode grown to the top was completed.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a carbon nanotube electrode and a carbon nanotube electrode produced accordingly.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises the steps of forming a bottom electrode on an insulating substrate (step 1); Forming a catalyst layer on the bottom electrode of step 1 (step 2); And growing a carbon nanotube on the substrate on which the catalyst layer is formed in step 2 (step 3), and a carbon nanotube electrode prepared through the same.

The carbon nanotube electrode manufacturing method of the present invention and the carbon nanotube electrode prepared according to the present invention has an effect that does not require expensive metals and deposition process by manufacturing the electrode by deteriorating the polymer resin with optical functional group, carbon nanotube When grown, there is an effect having excellent contact resistance properties with carbon nanotubes.

In addition, the carbon nanotube electrode of the present invention has excellent electrochemical properties and excellent contact resistance properties, and thus can be applied to high sensitivity electrochemical sensors, fuel cells, and electron beam sources.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail by steps.

Step 1 is a step of forming a bottom electrode on an insulating substrate.

The substrate of step 1 is an insulating substrate selected from the group consisting of silicon, quartz, sapphire, phase glass, and alumina. The substrate is coated with a polymer and patterned into a desired electrode.

In addition, the bottom electrode of step 1 may be formed of a carbon material including degraded carbon, graphene, carbon nanotube film, activated carbon, diamond thin film and graphite, thereby forming a bottom electrode having excellent electrical characteristics. It has an effect.
