Description

Process method for catalytically growing carbon nanotubes on surface of PAN-based carbon fiber based on sulfur-doped modified catalyst
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of carbon fiber surface modification treatment, in particular to a process method for growing carbon nanotubes on the surface of carbon fibers by catalysis through a chemical vapor deposition method.
Background
The carbon fiber is a high-performance fiber material with the carbon content of more than 95 percent, and mainly comprises PAN (polyacrylonitrile) -based carbon fiber, pitch-based carbon fiber and viscose-based carbon fiber, wherein the PAN-based carbon fiber is most widely applied. The carbon fiber has the characteristics of high strength, high modulus, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and fatigue resistance, and has excellent electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, so that the carbon fiber becomes an irreplaceable national defense civil industry prop material. At present, carbon fibers are generally used as a reinforcement and are made into a carbon fiber reinforced composite material together with other matrix materials. Compared with pure metal materials, the carbon fiber reinforced composite material has higher fatigue strength and rigidity, higher toughness and better forming performance compared with inorganic materials, and higher temperature resistance and weather resistance compared with high polymer materials, so the carbon fiber reinforced composite material is widely applied in various fields, particularly the field of national defense and military industry. However, the carbon fiber has a smooth surface and a low polar functional group content. The inert surface of the carbon fiber causes poor interface performance of the carbon fiber reinforced composite material, and the phenomena of interface damage such as debonding, pulling-out and the like often occur under the action of load, so that further application and popularization of the carbon fiber reinforced composite material and further improvement of mechanical performance are hindered. The carbon nano tube is grafted on the surface of the carbon fiber, so that the mechanical engagement between the carbon fiber and the matrix can be enhanced, and the stress buffer layer is formed between the carbon fiber and the resin matrix to inhibit the generation of stress concentration and interlaminar failure.
At present, technologies related to grafting carbon nanotubes on the surface of carbon fibers can be roughly classified into three categories: chemical grafting, physical deposition and in-situ growth.
Zhanweiwei et al (research on mechanical properties of carbon nanotube chemical grafting and continuous carbon fiber composites [ D ]. national defense science and technology university, 2009.) use a chemical grafting method to graft carbon nanotubes on the surface of carbon fibers. By grafting the carbon nano tube, the tensile strength of the carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin matrix composite material is improved by 9.78%, and the interlaminar shear strength of the composite material is improved by 6.2%.
Suckaki strong et al (influence of carbon fiber electrophoretic deposition carbon nanotubes on interface performance [ J ] material science and technology, 2015,23(01):45-50.) deposit carboxylated carbon nanotubes on the surface of carbon fibers by an electrophoretic deposition method, so that the surface roughness of the carbon fibers and the content of oxygen-containing functional groups are improved, and the interface performance of the composite material is greatly improved.
Fanwenxin et al (research on carbon nanotubes grown on the surface of carbon fibers and performance of reinforced composite materials thereof [ J ] functional materials 2015,46(20): 20097-. When the grafting amount of the carbon nano tube is 3.75-15.4%, the interlaminar shear strength of the composite material is also greatly improved.
Wang Xinghui et al (research on carbon fiber/carbon cloth surface growth carbon nanotubes and composite materials thereof [ J ]. Shandong university Master thesis 2018) adopt an electrochemical anodic oxidation method to treat the surface of carbon fibers, and chemically deposit (CVD) Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) on the surfaces of the carbon fibers and the carbon cloth, explore the influence of an electrochemical treatment process on the loading of a catalyst and the mechanical properties of carbon fiber multifilaments, define the action mechanism of the CVD process on CNTs/carbon fiber reinforcement, and realize the uniform growth of the CNTs on the surface of the carbon cloth.
When the carbon nano tubes are grafted on the surface of the carbon fiber by utilizing the prior art, certain damage is inevitably generated on the carbon fiber body, so that the tensile strength of the carbon fiber body is reduced, and the process is relatively complex and is not beneficial to mass production.

In order to achieve the technical purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows:
a process method for catalytically growing carbon nanotubes on the surface of PAN-based carbon fibers based on a sulfur-doped modified catalyst comprises the following steps:

and growing a carbon nano tube on the surface of the carbon fiber loaded with the catalyst precursor by adopting a CVD method to obtain the CNTs/PAN-based carbon fiber composite material.
The research of the application finds that: in order to ensure that the doping of sulfur does not affect the loading of the catalyst, the sulfur source is required to be ensured to have low volatility, be easily dissolved in ethanol, be decomposed into sulfur-containing gas at the temperature of below 400 ℃ and not react with cobalt nitrate to generate precipitate and gas. Therefore, systematic research and large-scale experimental investigation on the types and the proportions of the catalyst and the sulfur source are carried out, and the following results are found: the catalyst and the sulfur source are cobalt salt and thiourea, wherein when the molar ratio of Co to S is 3-5: 2-4, the requirements of sulfur doping and carbon nanotube growth can be simultaneously met, and the monofilament tensile strength and interlayer bonding force of the carbon nanotube are remarkably improved.

The research of the application finds that: in the anodic oxidation process, if the current is overlarge, the catalyst and the sulfur particles on the surface of the carbon fiber are large, the doping of the sulfur element is uneven, and agglomeration occurs; when the current density is lower, the oxidation etching degree is weaker, the number of oxygen-containing functional groups generated on the surface of the electrolytic filament is less, the loading of the catalyst is uneven, and the doping rate of sulfur is low. Therefore, in some embodiments, the conditions of the electrochemical anodic oxidation treatment preferred in the present application are that the current intensity is 0.2A to 0.8A, and the electrochemical treatment time is 40 to 100s, so as to effectively improve the quality and uniformity of the loading/doping of the catalyst and the sulfur element, and obtain the CNTs/carbon fiber composite material with high tensile strength and interlayer bonding force.
