Low-voltage microwave radiation carbon nanotube hydroxyl modification method

Abstract

The invention provides a hydroxy modification method for a low-pressure microwave radiation carbon nanometer tube, it relates to the hydroxy modification method of the carbon nanometer tube and solves the problems of the existing modification technology on nanometer tube that the technical process is complex, the reaction time is long, and the energy consumption and the cost are high. The modification method includes the steps of: 1. soaking carbon nanometer tube into alkali solution, then heat by microwave under low pressure, and remove the upper layer of alkali solution after the cooling and precipitation to obtain the precipitate; 2. cleaning and dry the precipitate to obtain the hydroxy-modified carbon nanometer tube. The invention greatly shortens the reaction time and has the advantages of simple technique, low energy consumption and low cost.

Description

A method for hydroxyl modification of carbon nanotubes by low-pressure microwave irradiation technical field The invention relates to a method for modifying a carbon nanotube hydroxyl group. Background technique Japanese electron microscopy expert Iijima first discovered carbon nanotubes in 1991. Due to their strong mechanical properties, high tensile strength, and good flexibility, carbon nanotubes are widely used in many composite materials such as electronics, metals, plastics, fibers, and ceramics. ; Carbon nanotubes have become the best hydrogen storage materials so far, and can also be used as an excellent carrier for many types of reaction catalysts. However, due to the poor hydrophilicity of carbon nanotubes, modification of carbon nanotubes is an essential part if the performance of carbon nanotubes is to be maximized. Although there are many methods for modifying carbon nanotubes at present, the more successful one is "A Preparation Method for Hydroxyl Modificat...
