The present invention relates to a graphene-carbon nanotube composite. More specifically, it relates to a new method for producing a graphene-carbon nanotube composite of the present invention and a graphene-carbon nanotube composite prepared by the method.
Recently, carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, and graphenes are being actively used as allotropees of carbon in new materials. A carbon allotrope refers to a substance composed of carbon but different in physical or chemical properties because of its different structure. Among the carbon allotrope, graphite is a carbon layer is bonded by van der Waals attractive force to form a three-dimensional structure by stacking layers, carbon nanotube (CNT) is a structure in which the carbon layer is dried one-dimensionally, fullerene (hole) Graphene is a two-dimensional honeycomb structure that has a thickness of one layer of atoms. Graphene is a conductor having a theoretical surface area of about 2000
Graphene synthesis methods known to date include chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and chemical methods. When graphene is synthesized by chemical vapor deposition, high quality graphene may be synthesized, and the graphene may be used in a transparent electrode or a flexible display.
On the other hand, the graphene prepared by the chemical method is prepared from natural graphite, oxidize the natural graphite to graphene oxide (graphene oxide) using acid, and then ultrasonically dispersed in water, separated by one layer, and then reducing agent or Prepared by reducing with heat. However, graphene produced by this method essentially has many defects. In addition, the chemical method including the wet process has a relatively low specific surface area by the lamination of the graphene during the drying process, there is a problem that the graphene fragments are finely divided in the ultrasonic dispersion step.
In order to solve this problem of the chemical method, a research has been conducted to prepare a graphene-carbon nanotube composite by inserting metal particles between graphene or dispersing carbon nanotubes together. When synthesizing the graphene-carbon nanotube composite, when the expensive carbon nanotubes are dispersed together with the graphene to produce the graphene-carbon nanotube composite, the manufacturing cost is high and it is not economical. -There is a problem that can not synthesize the carbon nanotube composite material.
Therefore, the present inventors have developed a graphene-carbon nanotube composite having a high specific surface area and excellent electrical conductivity by forming a three-dimensional network of graphene and carbon nanotubes by using a spray pyrolysis process.

-Production method of carbon nanotube composite
Method for producing a graphene-carbon nanotube composite according to the present invention comprises the steps of preparing a catalyst precursor solution containing a graphene, a solvent, and a metal catalyst, spraying the catalyst precursor solution, sprayed droplets reaction (reaction through a furnace) and the graphene-carbon nanotube composite is synthesized.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the method for producing a graphene-carbon nanotube composite is prepared by adding a graphene and a metal catalyst to a solvent to prepare a catalyst precursor solution, using a droplet generator to convert the catalyst precursor solution into a reactor Spraying, and sprayed droplets are synthesized through pyrolysis via a reaction furnace to synthesize graphene-carbon nanotube composites.
The present invention may further comprise the step of synthesizing the graphene before preparing the catalyst precursor solution.
(1) Graphene Synthesis Step
Graphite used in the synthesis of graphene may be used as natural graphite without limitation, preferably expanded natural graphite (expanded graphite or exfoliated graphite) can be used.
As a method for synthesizing graphene with graphite, there is a chemical method represented by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or Hummer's Method, an acid expansion method, or an ultrasonic separation method. When graphene is synthesized by a chemical method such as a hummer method, since graphene oxide is generated as an intermediate product and a defect occurs, it is preferable to synthesize the graphene by an acid expansion method or an ultrasonic separation method.
As the acid used in the acid expansion method, it is preferable to use an acid generally used, such as sulfuric acid or nitric acid, as a mixed solution. The temperature at the time of acid treatment is 50-200 degreeC, Preferably it is 50-100 degreeC, More preferably, it is good to process below the breaking point of the acidic solution to be used. The acid treatment time may vary from 1 to 24 hours depending on the acid treatment temperature, and preferably, treatment is performed within 1 to 5 hours. After the acid treatment, the acid-treated graphite solution is filtered to remove the solution, and further washed with water or diluted hydrochloric acid solution before filtration to increase the filtration efficiency. At this time, if the diluted hydrochloric acid solution is used instead of water, there is an advantage that the exothermic phenomenon occurs when using water.
By heat treatment of the acid-treated graphite without a separate drying process, graphene is synthesized as ions trapped in the graphite are released as a gas. The heat treatment temperature can be made at 200 to 2000 ℃, for effective gas release is preferably made at 500 to 1200 ℃, more preferably at 700 to 1200 ℃. Inert gas such as nitrogen, argon, helium may be used as the gas used for the heat treatment, and a mixture of hydrogen gas may be used to remove defects of graphene that may be generated due to high temperature acid treatment.
(2) Preparation step of catalyst precursor solution
The catalyst precursor solution for synthesizing the graphene-carbon nanotube composite of the present invention is prepared by dissolving a graphene and a metal catalyst in a solvent. After graphene is uniformly dispersed in a solvent, a metal catalyst is further dissolved to prepare a catalyst precursor solution.
The solvent can be used without limitation as long as it is a carbon-containing organic solvent that can be a carbon source. However, in the ultrasonic spraying method, it is preferable to use an organic solvent having 5 or less carbon atoms in the main chain, such as ethanol, methanol, propanol and the like.
Graphene is preferably mixed in a concentration that can be uniformly dispersed in a solvent, it may be included in 0.1 to 5 mg / ml, preferably 0.5 to 2 mg / ml compared to the solvent.
As the metal catalyst, metal ions such as iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), and nickel (Ni), which can grow and synthesize carbon nanotubes, can be used. Preferably, a metal catalyst which can be dissolved and ionized in an organic solvent such as ethanol may be used, and more preferably, Ferrocene, iron chloride, and cobalt nitrate may be used alone or in combination thereof. It can be used as a mixture of.
The metal catalyst is preferably included in an amount of 0.01 to 0.5 mol / l relative to the solvent. In the case of containing a metal catalyst of less than 0.01 mol / l, the amount of carbon nanotubes synthesized between the graphene is small, the aggregation between the graphene may occur, and if the metal catalyst containing more than 0.5 mol / l metal catalyst particles The reactivity of these compounds increases the synthesis yield of carbon nanotubes.
(3) spraying catalyst precursor solution
The prepared catalyst precursor solution is sprayed into the
As shown in Figure 1, the graphene-carbon nanotube composite manufacturing apparatus of the present invention is a droplet generator (2) for spraying the catalyst precursor solution, the sprayed droplet is synthesized into the graphene-carbon nanotube composite It consists of a
An ultrasonic nozzle is used for the
As a spraying method for introducing the catalyst precursor solution into a high temperature synthesis reactor, various spraying methods such as an ultrasonic nozzle method and a general nozzle method may be used. Among them, an ultrasonic nozzle method capable of giving sufficient residence time for synthesizing carbon nanotubes is preferable.
When using the normal nozzle method, the droplet size of the catalyst precursor produced is 100 μm or more. When the size of the droplet is 100 μm or more, it is difficult to synthesize graphene-carbon nanotubes because the drying step, the reaction / synthesis step, and the firing step in the reactor are difficult to occur in a single step.
However, when using the ultrasonic nozzle method, since the droplet size is sprayed into the reactor is 5 to 50 ㎛, it can be synthesized in a single process. However, the size of the sprayed droplets can be changed depending on the concentration of the precursor and the intensity of the ultrasonic wave.
The sprayed droplets can be moved into the

The droplets of the sprayed catalyst precursor solution pass through the
As a carrier gas, argon, nitrogen, or the like, which is an inert gas, may be used, and at the same time, methane, propane, or the like may be mixed and used together with argon, nitrogen, hydrogen, and the like to auxiliaryly supply a carbon source.
In the present invention, since an organic solvent capable of forming carbon nanotubes is used in the droplets, graphene-carbon nanotube composites can be synthesized using argon and nitrogen gas, which are inert gases, without supplying a separate carbon source. Therefore, the post-treatment process of the expensive carbon source gas discharged unreacted is not necessary, and there is no fear that a problem such as an explosion may occur because the carbon source gas does not pass the high temperature gas furnace. Therefore, it is more preferable to use inert gases argon and nitrogen as carrier gases.
The reactor is a long, high-temperature device that can secure a sufficient residence time while giving a high temperature. The temperature of the reaction furnace is 600-1500 degreeC, Preferably it is 700-1100 degreeC. The reactor has a length of 1 to 3 m, it is preferably designed to ensure a minimum residence time of at least 5 seconds.
Under the conditions of the temperature and residence time of the reactor, the metal catalyst contained in the catalyst precursor solution supplied to the reactor is thermally decomposed together with the carbon source of the solution or gaseous carbon sources such as methane and propane, whereby Nanotubes are synthesized.
In the case of the synthesized carbon nanotubes, the diameter and the length of the carbon nanotubes may be changed according to the reaction conditions such as the type of metal ions dissolved in the precursor and the reaction temperature. In one example, the synthesized carbon nanotube length is proportional to the time that the droplets stay in the reactor.
The synthesized graphene-carbon nanotube composite is collected in the
Figure 2 (a) is a SEM picture of the graphene-carbon nanotube composite prepared in Example 1, Figure 2 (b) is a graph showing the results of EDS analysis. As shown in Figure 2, the graphene-carbon nanotube composite of the present invention is the catalyst particles are placed between the graphene layer in the ion state in the synthesis step of graphene, carbon nanotubes while solving the lamination problem of graphene As it grows, graphene is dispersed. In addition, graphene and carbon nanotubes form a dense network, and the network improves electrical conductivity.
When synthesizing the graphene-carbon nanotube composite using the spray pyrolysis apparatus of the present invention, it is possible to continuously synthesize the graphene-carbon nanotube composite, shorten the synthesis time, and the post-synthesis cleaning process and Since a post-treatment process such as a heat treatment process is not required, the graphene-carbon nanotube composite may be synthesized by an environmentally friendly method.

Carbon Nanotube Composite
In the graphene-carbon nanotube composite according to the present invention, graphene and carbon nanotubes form a three-dimensional network. The graphene-carbon nanotube composite has a specific surface area in the range of 300 to 2000
The present invention may be better understood by the following examples, which are for the purpose of illustrating the invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection defined by the appended claims.
Example
Example One
Graphene prepared by ultrasonic separation method was dispersed in ethanol at a concentration of 1 mg / ml, and then ferrocene (ferrocene) was dissolved in a concentration of 0.1 M / L to prepare a precursor solution. The precursor solution was sprayed onto the spray pyrolysis apparatus in the form of droplets using argon gas as a carrier gas by ultrasonic spraying. Precursor droplets were synthesized into a graphene-carbon nanotube composite while passing through a high temperature reactor at 900 ° C. having a length of 1 m. After collecting the synthesized complex collected in a filter, the specific surface area was measured according to the following physical property measurement method is shown in Table 1 below.
Comparative Example One
The same procedure as in Example 1 was conducted except that a precursor solution containing no catalyst was prepared.
Specific surface area How to measure
The specific surface area was measured using the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method. After determining the adsorption-desorption amount of nitrogen using a Model NOVA 4200 instrument, it was measured using the BET method. Degassing was performed at 200 ° C. for 2 hours prior to measurement to remove impurities physically adsorbed to the measurement sample.
As shown in Table 1, it can be seen that the graphene-carbon nanotube composite prepared in Example 1 has a significantly larger specific surface area (BET) than Comparative Example 1. Figure 2 (a) is a SEM picture of the graphene-carbon nanotube composite prepared in Example 1, Figure 2 (b) is a graph showing the results of EDS analysis. The SEM photograph shows that the plate-like material and the linear carbon nanotubes form a dense network, and the results of the EDS analysis show that the plate-like material is composed of carbon (C) rather than iron (Fe). It can be seen that.
As described above, the graphene-carbon nanotube composite of the present invention can be seen that graphene and carbon nanotubes form a three-dimensional network to prevent re-lamination of graphene and have an excellent specific surface area. For this reason, the graphene-carbon nanotube composite of the present invention can be suitably used as an electrode material of various batteries such as secondary batteries and supercapacitors having excellent electrical conductivity.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
