Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, there are still many problems in the preparation of metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes: (1) The catalyst has poor thermal stability at high temperature on the surface of the silicon substrate with which it interacts less, resulting in poor uniformity of carbon nanotube diameter; (2) It is difficult to control the crystal plane structure and symmetry of the catalyst, resulting in poor repeatability; (3) The mechanism of the controllable growth of metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes is still unclear; (4) The substrate directly affects the growth of carbon nanotubes. Thermodynamic and kinetic factors are unclear

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of controllable preparation of metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes, in particular to a method for controllably growing metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes through substrate design. Using spinel as the substrate, metal oxide nanoclusters with uniform size were prepared by self-assembly method of block copolymer; the size, structure and high temperature stability of catalyst nanoparticles were regulated by the solid solution and pinning effect of spinel substrate on catalyst nanoparticles. Combined with the effect of spinel substrate on the growth rate of single-walled carbon nanotubes with different conductive properties, the selective growth of metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes is achieved. The prepared metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes have a diameter of 1.1±0.2 nm and a content of 75-85 percent. The invention realizes the direct and controllable growth of metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes with narrow diameter distribution through substrate design and selection, and lays a material foundation for promoting the application of metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of controllable preparation of metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes, in particular to a method for controllably growing metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes through substrate design. Background technique [0002] Single-walled carbon nanotubes can be metallic or semiconducting due to their different chiral angles and diameters. Metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes with quantum transport effects can be used as flexible electrode materials and interconnecting wires for future nanoelectronic devices. However, commonly prepared SWCNT samples are a mixture of metallic and semiconducting carbon tubes. How to obtain high-purity metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes is the key to promote their practical application. The content of metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes in common samples is only about 1 / 3, and its chemical activity is higher than that of semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes, so it is mor...
