Problems solved by technology

However, the extremely limited substrate of fixed beds precludes mass production capabilities
Tsinghua University used millimeter-scale ceramic balls as the growth substrate to grow carbon nanotubes (Chinese invention patent, ZL2005100120667.8), which effectively expanded the specific surface area of ​​the substrate. However, this method is difficult in a fixed bed system due to the gas flow containing carbon sources Diffusion to the lower layer of the container containing ceramic microspheres, so that basically only a layer of ceramic balls on the surface can become an effective substrate for the growth of carbon nanotubes, which greatly reduces the utilization of the substrate, so it is often forced to insert some complex porous components into the fixed bed Reactors or moving bed and fluidized bed reactors with higher cost and more complicated operation
Inserting porous components in a fixed bed reactor is not conducive to the smooth passage of gas flow, and carbon nanotubes and deposited carbon may grow attached to the porous components and block them, causing the reaction gas path to be blocked and causing danger
More importantly, this reaction system requires the introduction of more than 10% hydrogen, which further increases the risk factor

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of carbon nanomaterial preparation, in particular to a device for large-scale preparation of ultra-long and highly conductive carbon nanotubes by floating catalytic chemical vapor deposition technology and a preparation method thereof. technical background [0002] In recent years, with the increasing technology of mass-manufacturing carbon nanotubes, the large-scale application of carbon nanotubes has gradually developed, especially for nano-reinforced phases of composite materials. However, currently commercially available carbon nanotubes usually exist in the form of flocculation, and generally have the characteristics of short length, thin tube diameter, and many defects, resulting in low electrical conductivity. It is difficult to obtain effective dispersion and conduction when used in the preparation of composite materials. The threshold is low, and there is no significant advantage over conductive car...
