AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, the chemical vapor deposition method is mostly used for spiral carbon fibers. Chinese patent CN1327093 discloses that acetylene is used as a carbon source, hydrogen is used as a reducing gas, and N 2 As a carrier gas, under the action of Ni powder as a catalyst and thiophene, helical carbon fibers are prepared by catalytic pyrolysis. In addition, Chinese patent CN1641083 discloses the use of certain transition metal sulfides or phosphides and their composites as catalysts to prepare helical carbon fibers. However, in the preparation process, there is a problem of uneven dispersion of catalyst powder on the substrate. The dispersion of catalyst is very important to the yield and output of spiral carbon fiber, which directly hinders the industrialization process of spiral carbon fiber.
