Embodiment 1

[0035] In the first step, 1.5 mmol of ferric chloride was dissolved in 30 mL of deionized aqueous solution (0.15 mmol) of methyl orange with a concentration of 5 mmol / l. Then 1.5 mmol (105 ml) of pyrrole monomer was added to the mixed solution, and the mixed solution was stirred at room temperature for 24 hours. The resulting polypyrrole precipitate was washed with deionized water / ethanol several times until the filtrate became a colorless neutral solution, and finally the washed polypyrrole precipitate was dried in a vacuum environment at 60° C. for 24 hours. The polypyrrole nanotube can be obtained by the above steps, and the polypyrrole nanotube is a black powder. For comparison, polypyrrole particles were similarly synthesized following the above procedure, except for the use of methyl orange.

[0036] In the second step, the polypyrrole nanotubes obtained in the first step are further carbonized to obtain carbon nanotubes. The carbonization process was carried out in a ...

Embodiment 2

[0052] In the first step, 1.5 mmol of ammonium persulfate was dissolved in 30 mL of a deionized aqueous solution (0.15 mmol) of methyl red with a concentration of 5 mmol / l. Then 1.35 mmol (105 ml) of pyrrole monomer was added to the mixed solution, and the mixed solution was stirred at 60° C. for 24 hours. The resulting polypyrrole precipitate was washed with deionized water / ethanol several times until the filtrate became a colorless neutral solution, and finally the washed polypyrrole precipitate was dried in a vacuum environment at 60° C. for 24 hours. The polypyrrole nanotube can be obtained by the above steps, and the polypyrrole nanotube is a black powder. For comparison, polypyrrole particles were similarly synthesized following the above procedure, except for the use of methyl red.

[0053] In the second step, the polypyrrole nanotubes obtained in the first step are further carbonized to obtain carbon nanotubes. The carbonization process was carried out in a quartz tu...

Embodiment 3

[0055] In the first step, 1.65 mmol of potassium persulfate was dissolved in 30 mL of deionized aqueous solution (0.15 mmol) of benzene orange at a concentration of 5 mmol / l. Then 1.35 mmol (105 ml) of aniline monomer was added to the mixed solution, and the mixed solution was stirred at 100° C. for 24 hours. The resulting polyaniline precipitate was washed with deionized water / ethanol several times until the filtrate became a colorless neutral solution, and finally the washed polyaniline precipitate was dried in a vacuum environment at 60° C. for 24 hours. The polyaniline nanotube can be obtained through the above steps, and the polyaniline nanotube is a black powder. As a comparison, polyaniline particles were similarly synthesized following the above procedure, except that benzene orange was used.

[0056] In the second step, the polyaniline nanotubes obtained in the first step are further carbonized to obtain carbon nanotubes. The carbonization process was carried out in...

Abstract

The invention relates to a process for making carbon nano-tube, which comprises the following steps: 1) dissolving a oxidizer in a fiber type compound aqueous solution, adding at least one carbonaceous organic monomer to obtain a mixed solution, stirring the mixed solution for a certain period of time, filtering, washing and drying the deposition to obtain polymer nano-tubes which is the carbonaceous pre-body of carbon nano-tube; 2) carbonizing the polymer nano-tubes in the step 1) to obtain carbon nano-tube. The process of the invention achieves the beneficial effects of low cost, simpleness, practicalness, safety and high efficiency; it will not generate dangerous gas, and can prepare carbon nano-tube in large scale.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of chemical industry, and more specifically, relates to a method for preparing carbon nanotubes. Background technique [0002] Carbon nanotubes are an isotope of carbon and have a cylindrical nanostructure. Such cylindrical carbon molecules have many remarkable properties, and there are many potential uses in practical applications, such as nanotechnology, electronic technology, material science, and construction. Carbon nanotubes exhibit extraordinary strength and unique electrical properties, and are also efficient conductors of heat. Since the discovery of carbon nanotubes (Kratschmer W, Lamb LD, Fostiropoulos K, Huffman RD. Nature 1990; 6291(347): 354-8), it has aroused great interest in academia and industry, and hundreds of Thousands of papers on carbon nanotubes have been published. [0003] However, while research on carbon nanotube science has progressed rapidly, commercial application has been relatively ...
