Problems solved by technology

However, these methods are complicated to operate, high in cost, low in efficiency, and produce a large amount of waste acid and toxic gas, which may easily cause secondary pollution.
In addition, these methods will seriously damage the surface structure of carbon nanotubes and reduce various properties of carbon nanotubes, so the commercial value is low

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for purifying a carbon nanotube by evaporating acid, which comprises the following steps: (1) putting a raw carbon nanotube into a sand core funnel; (2) placing the sand core funnel containing the carbon nanotube in a container, wherein concentrated acid is arranged at the bottom of the container; (3) putting the container into a reaction kettle, sealing, and then putting into a drying box, wherein the temperature in the drying box is 150-200 DEG C, and the duration time is 3-5 hours; (4) taking out the reaction kettle, cooling to room temperature, opening the reaction kettle, taking out the sand core funnel, putting the carbon nanotube into a clean beaker, diluting with distilled water, pouring the diluted carbon nanotube into a Buchner funnel with common filter paper, and respectively washing with water and anhydrous ethanol for 10-20 times until the pH value of the washing water approximates neutral; and (5) stripping the carbon nanotube from the Buchner funnel, putting into the drying box, and drying for 8-20 hours, wherein the temperature in the drying box is 60-120 DEG C, and the solid black block obtained after drying is the purified carbon nanotube.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to nanometer material dispersion and purification technology. Background technique [0002] As a new type of carbon material, carbon nanotubes have always been a hot spot in the field of nanomaterials research because of their high specific surface area. However, the existing process of preparing carbon nanotubes inevitably contains amorphous carbon and catalyst impurities, which directly affect the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes, and further affect their application and performance research. [0003] The patent [CN200610042934] reports a method for purifying carbon nanotubes at a high temperature of 1600-2100°C in an argon atmosphere under normal pressure. The patent [CN103407984A] discloses a carbon nanotube treatment method based on oxidation auxiliary acid in a weak oxidizing atmosphere. The carbon nanotubes are oxidized by weak oxidants such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, and the carbon-coated iron structu...
