Description

Method for preparing single-walled carbon nanotube without sulfur impurities by controllable growth promoter
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of controllable preparation of high-quality and high-purity single-walled carbon nanotubes without sulfur impurities, in particular to a method for controllably preparing low-catalyst-content single-walled carbon nanotubes by using a novel growth promoter selenium, which realizes that tail gas does not contain hydrogen sulfide gas while preparing the high-quality and high-purity single-walled carbon nanotubes without sulfur impurities, and is beneficial to tail gas treatment and recycling.
Background
The carbon nano tube has chirality-dependent conductive property, ballistic transport property, excellent mechanical property, excellent flexibility, lower density and the like, so that the carbon nano tube is expected to be widely applied to the high-precision technical fields of nano electronic devices, aviation, aerospace and the like. The carbon nanotubes can be prepared without separation of the catalyst, but the catalyst remaining in the carbon nanotube sample has many negative effects. For example, intrinsic properties such as thermal stability and chemical stability of the carbon nanotube are affected, metal nanoparticles are not compatible with organisms in biological applications, catalyst residues affect light transmission properties in transparent conductive thin film applications, and the like. However, the general method of removing the catalyst in the carbon nanotube by acid washing can destroy the structure of the carbon nanotube, affect the physical and chemical properties thereof, and bring about the problem of environmental pollution. Therefore, the control of the preparation of the carbon nano tube with high quality and low catalyst residue is of great significance.
At present, the floating catalyst chemical vapor deposition method is one of the most effective methods for preparing high-quality and high-purity single-walled carbon nanotubes. The carbon nano tube prepared by the method needs the assistance of a growth promoter besides a necessary catalyst, otherwise, the growth efficiency is extremely low, and the most commonly used growth promoter is sulfur (A.H.Window et al.Faraday Discuss, 2014,173, 47-65; and II: Lili Zhang et al.J.Phys.chem.Lett.2014,5,8, 1427-. The addition of sulfur growth promoters resulted in samples of single-walled carbon nanotubes containing sulfur impurities that caused poisoning and deactivation of the nanocatalyst loaded on the carbon nanotubes (document three: Bartholomew, c.h. applied Catalysis a: General,2001,212(1-2),17-60), or reduced catalyst stability, as well as the evolution of hydrogen sulfide gas under acidic conditions. Therefore, the presence of sulfur impurities limits the application of carbon nanotubes in the field of catalysis. In addition, conventional sulfur growth promoters tend to form hydrogen sulfide gas with hydrogen in the reaction atmosphere, which can pollute the environment if the hydrogen sulfide gas is discharged into the atmosphere, and which is costly and difficult to remove completely if the tail gas is recycled. On the other hand, the temperature for growing the high-quality single-walled carbon nanotube by the existing floating catalyst chemical vapor deposition method is generally higher than 1100 ℃, which has high requirements on the material of a reaction furnace tube and increases the difficulty of large-scale preparation.
Therefore, the key problems to be solved urgently at present are: how to achieve the macroscopic preparation of high-quality, high-purity single-walled carbon nanotubes without using sulfur.
