Method for preparing Y-shaped carbon nano tube by taking dimethyl sulfide as carbon source

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparing a Y-shaped carbon nano tube by taking dimethyl sulfide as the carbon source, which is characterized in that in the method, dimethyl sulfide is taken as the carbon source; cobalt nitrate and magnesium nitrate are taken as catalysts; deionized water is taken as a washing agent and a cleaner; dilute hydrochloric acid is taken as a centrifugal cleaner; anhydrous alcohol is taken as a cleaner; hydrogen is taken as carbon source carrier gas and cobalt oxide reducing gas; argon gas is taken as protective gas and a quartz boat is taken as a product growing body. The method comprises the following steps: the catalysts first undergo thermal decomposition reaction and hydrogen reduction and then are placed on the quartz boat; hydrogen is taken as the carbon source carrier gas; the dimethyl sulfide is input into a quartz tube and undergoes shape transformation, vapor deposition and product growth at the temperature of 1000 DEG C under the protection of argon gas and in the presence of catalysts from liquid state, gas state to solid state to generate the black hollow Y-shaped carbon nano tube. The method features short process flow and the product has regular morphology, high purity and stable chemical and physical property, diameter of 50-60nm, hollow diameter of 30-40nm, maximum length of 30000nm, carbon content of 98.9%, productivity as high as 83%.
