Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of micro-nano synthesis, in particular to a preparation method and application of a single/double-wall carbon nano tube.
Background
The single/double-wall carbon nanotube refers to Shan Bi carbon nanotube or double-wall carbon nanotube, and compared with the multi-wall carbon nanotube, the single/double-wall carbon nanotube has larger length-diameter ratio and higher graphitization degree (I) G /I D More than 10), has more excellent conductivity and flexibility, and can be used as a conductive agent of a secondary battery at low addition amount (as low as 0.05 percent) in positive and negative electrodesA developed conductive network is formed inside the material, so that the cycle life and the rate capability of the lithium battery are obviously prolonged. Particularly, the silicon-carbon negative electrode is subject to a high volume expansion rate (more than 200%) of silicon during charging and discharging processes, silicon-carbon negative electrode particles are easy to pulverize, and finally, the battery is rapidly exhausted, and the single/double-wall carbon nano tube can effectively solve the problems faced by the silicon-carbon negative electrode due to high flexibility and excellent conductivity of the single/double-wall carbon nano tube.
In order to better meet the application requirements of the silicon-based negative electrode, the single/double-wall carbon nano-tube is required to have higher graphitization degree (I) G /I D More than 80), in the traditional technology, in order to improve the graphitization degree, an effective method is to adopt nano iron aerosol (the grain diameter is less than 5 nm) to catalyze a carbon source to decompose and grow the required product at the temperature of more than 1000 ℃. In order to prepare the nano-iron aerosol, the technology discloses that dilute solution of organic metal compounds such as ferrocene and the like is used as a catalyst precursor and injected into a reactor at 1100-1500 ℃, the catalyst precursor solution enters the reactor to generate the nano-iron aerosol in situ, and then a catalytic carbon source (toluene and ethylene) is decomposed to grow a single-walled carbon nanotube. In order to prevent the formation of nano-iron with an excessively large size (particle size > 5 nm), the amount of catalyst precursor introduced is limited, and the growth efficiency of the single-walled tube is limited. Also, a single-walled carbon nanotube reactor containing a catalyst pretreatment and acceleration unit is disclosed, which accelerates a mixed gas containing a catalyst and a carbon source to 5m/s to 50m/s, and a large number of catalyst particles having a narrow particle size distribution (a main particle size range of 1nm to 8 nm) rapidly enter a reaction zone, thereby preventing catalyst agglomeration and achieving a growth efficiency of 2.3kg/h at a reaction volume of 3000L. But the production efficiency per reaction volume is only 0.77 g/(L.h) and the I of the product obtained therefrom is that a proportion of particles with a particle size > 5nm is still present in the catalyst prepared therefrom G /I D Up to only 78.
In conclusion, the single/double-wall carbon nano tube prepared by the traditional preparation method has lower graphitization degree and lower growth efficiency per unit reaction volume.

The morphology of the product obtained in comparative example 1 is shown in FIG. 7; comparative example 2 since the temperature of the center of the plasma flame zone was low, the residence time of the corresponding mixture was changed at each stage, and simultaneously the plasma temperature was low, it was difficult to effectively decompose the catalyst precursor, resulting in a low catalyst density with a narrow particle size distribution, and a part of the undecomposed catalyst precursor was decomposed in the transition zone or the growth zone to cause an increase in particle size of a part of the catalyst, so that the amount of the single/double walled carbon nanotubes formed was small and more impurities were generated. The morphology of the product obtained in comparative example 2 is shown in fig. 8.
The ash content of the products obtained in examples 1 to 3 and comparative examples 1 to 2 was measured by a calcination method, which specifically comprises the following steps: about 1g (accurate to 0.1 mg) of the sample is weighed, the sample is calcined in a muffle furnace for 4h at 900 ℃ in the air atmosphere, the calcined ash is weighed by a ten-thousandth balance, the mass percentage of the ash in the product before calcination is calculated, and the test results are shown in Table 2. The results show that the ash content of the products obtained in examples 1 to 3 of the present invention is less than 30%, if t 2 If the range of (b) is not within the range claimed in the present invention (comparative example 1) or if the temperature of the center 210 of the plasma flame zone is less than 5000 c (comparative example 2), the ash content of the resulting product is significantly increased, since the change of conditions leads to an increase of the impurity (heterocarbon) content, within the range provided in the present invention,the purity of the obtained single/double-wall carbon nano tube can be obviously improved.
Raman spectra of the products obtained in examples 1 to 3 and comparative examples 1 to 2 were obtained, and 1570 to 1610cm was read -1 Peak intensity in the range I G And at 1320-1360 cm -1 Peak intensity in the range I D And calculate I G /I D A larger value indicates a higher degree of graphitization. The test results are shown in table 2. The results show that the single/double-wall carbon nanotubes obtained in the examples of the present invention have the same structure G /I D A value of 100 or more indicates a higher degree of graphitization, whereas the products of comparative examples 1-2 show a significant decrease in the degree of graphitization and, as expected, a significant decrease in the degree of conductivity, either due to difficulty in controlling the catalyst particle size (comparative example 1) or due to the inability to form a high density catalyst aerogel (comparative example 2). The raman spectrum of the product obtained in example 1 is shown in fig. 2.

The results in table 2 also show that the growth efficiency of the single/double-walled carbon nanotubes obtained in examples 1 to 3 of the present invention is significantly higher than that of comparative examples 1 to 2, and thus it can be shown that the preparation method provided by the present invention can improve not only the performance of the obtained single/double-walled carbon nanotubes, but also the growth efficiency thereof by controlling the condition parameters.
In summary, in the embodiments 1 to 3 of the present invention, the high energy density plasma flame region 200 (the center temperature is not less than 5000 ℃) can not only rapidly decompose the catalyst precursor to form a large amount of iron atoms, but also decompose the carbon source to highly active carbon atoms; the mixture quickly (less than or equal to 0.2 s) enters a growth zone, so that the catalyst particles with the particle size of more than 5nm are ensured to have lower proportion, and further the catalyst particles and high-activity carbon atoms quickly react to generate a large amount of highly graphitized single-walled carbon nanotubes.
In comparative example 1, however, iron atoms were generated in a high concentration but for a long period of time (t) 2 =0.22 > 0.2 s) into the growth zone, leading to an increase in the proportion of particles with a particle size > 5nm and, in turn, an increase in the proportion of heterocarbon in the product (as shown in fig. 7), causing I G /I D Decrease and ash increase. In comparative example 2, the plasma flame zone 200 was at a lower temperature and insufficient in energy density, and the concentration of iron atoms generated in the plasma flame zone 200 was lower, resulting in a decrease in the production efficiency of the single-walled tube.
Furthermore, the single/double-wall carbon nano tube prepared by the invention has higher length-diameter ratio and graphitization degree and lower ash content, so that the single/double-wall carbon nano tube has more excellent conductive performance and wide application prospect in the preparation of secondary batteries.
The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge of those skilled in the art without departing from the gist of the present invention.
