Technical field
The present invention relates to Single Walled Carbon Nanotube line of a kind of technical field of nano material and preparation method thereof, specifically is a kind of amorphous carbon coated single-walled carbon nano tube line and preparation method thereof.
Background technology
Carbon nanotube (Carbon nanotubes; CNT) after being found in 1991, just caused the extensive concern of scientific circles.Because it has unique accurate one-dimentional structure and excellent electric property and mechanical property, and be widely used in nanometer electronic device, a lift-off technology, biological medicine carrying, hydrogen storage technology or the like numerous areas tool.Carbon nanotube can be divided into single ancient piece of jade, round, flat and with a hole in its centre carbon nanotube (SWNT), two ancient piece of jade, round, flat and with a hole in its centre carbon nanotube (DWNT), multi-walled carbon nano-tubes (MWNT).Wherein single ancient piece of jade, round, flat and with a hole in its centre carbon nanotube is as good monodimension nanometer material, be used as nanometer electronic devices such as making field-effect transistor, thin film transistor because of it has higher carrier mobility, be expected to replace silicon materials and the critical material that becomes microelectronic device of future generation.The main technology of preparing of current preparation carbon nanotube is arc discharge method (DC arc discharge), chemical Vapor deposition process (CVD) and laser ablation method.Wherein arc discharge method (Takikawa, H.Journal of the Vacuum Society of Japan, 2008, Vol.51, P.240~244) is the main method for preparing the high quality Single Walled Carbon Nanotube at present.Arc discharge method is meant in the reaction cavity that is filled with certain gas (rare gas element or contain the mixed gas of activated gas), two over against between Graphite Electrodes (wherein containing catalyzer in the graphite anode rod) arc-over take place under certain voltage, carbon atom is reset under high temperature and catalyst action and is formed hollow tubular product, i.e. carbon nanotube.Since carbon nanotube was found, a lot of scientists had carried out big quantity research, carbon nano tube growth mechanism especially along its length to the growth mechanism of carbon nanotube.The growth model of relatively generally acknowledging is gas-liquid-solid (VLS) model at present, be to be in the gasiform carbon atom under the high temperature to form eutectic with the melted catalyst effect, oversaturated carbon atom is separated out on the liquid phase surface of eutectic, and then cooling back nucleation (solid phase), thereby grow into carbon nanotube, but lack research along the growth mechanism on the diametric(al) for carbon nanotube.
Find through literature search, do not find the report relevant as yet with amorphous carbon coated single-walled carbon nano tube line of the present invention and preparation method thereof to prior art.
