Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of polymer material preparation technology, specifically relating to a carbon nanotube composite dispersant and a carbon nanotube dispersion prepared based on the carbon nanotube composite dispersant. Background Technology
[0002] Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are cylindrical graphene tubes with a one-dimensional π-conjugated structure. They are among the most representative high-performance nanomaterials. Due to their significant electrical, mechanical, thermal conductivity, and optical properties, CNTs have become candidate materials for various applications such as electronics, sensors, energy conversion, and storage devices.
[0003] Aqueous dispersions of CNTs offer significant advantages in terms of environmental friendliness and biocompatibility, making them suitable for specific applications such as biomaterials and waterborne coatings. Therefore, developing homogeneous CNT aqueous suspensions is crucial for exploring environmentally friendly processes for CNTs. However, the sp... 2 The high aspect ratio of the carbon nanotube skeleton, the extremely strong van der Waals forces between tubes, and its inherent hydrophobicity make it difficult to prepare stable aqueous suspensions of CNTs, which greatly hinders the further development and application of CNTs. Therefore, research on the opening and stability of carbon nanotube aggregates is of paramount importance.
[0004] Therefore, researching the preparation of excellent carbon nanotube aqueous dispersion systems is crucial. For example, Chinese patent application CN116799212A discloses a method for preparing a carbon nanotube conductive paste, which involves adding hyperbranched polymer-modified purified carbon nanotubes to a mixture using N-methylpyrrolidone as the solvent and polyvinylpyrrolidone K30 as the dispersant, followed by sand milling. However, the hyperbranched polymer-modified purified carbon nanotubes require advance preparation, are time-consuming, and involve complex processes. Furthermore, the modification of the carbon nanotubes can damage their original structure, affecting their performance. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the present invention needs to provide a carbon nanotube composite dispersant, which is composed of anionic dispersant and cationic dispersant. By utilizing the strong electrostatic attraction between anions and cations, the carbon nanotube dispersion obtained has the advantages of fewer defects, smaller particles and better conductivity, and is also environmentally friendly and has good stability.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] This invention provides a carbon nanotube composite dispersant, which is composed of anionic dispersant and cationic dispersant, wherein the anionic dispersant is an anionic small molecule containing an aromatic ring, and the cationic dispersant is a cationic water-soluble polymer.
[0008] Preferably, the molecular weight of the anionic small molecule is <500.

[0014] This invention further discloses the application of the carbon nanotube composite dispersant as described above in the preparation of carbon nanotube dispersions.
[0015] The present invention further discloses a carbon nanotube dispersion, which is obtained by dispersing with the carbon nanotube composite dispersant as described above.
[0016] This invention further discloses a method for preparing a carbon nanotube dispersion, comprising the following steps:
[0017] The carbon nanotube powder, anionic dispersant and deionized water are thoroughly mixed and dispersed to obtain a pretreated carbon nanotube dispersion.
[0018] The pretreated carbon nanotube dispersion was mixed with a cationic dispersant and the dispersion was continued to obtain a carbon nanotube dispersion.

[0025] Preferably, the high-speed homogeneous dispersion has a rotation speed of 10,000-20,000 rpm and a dispersion time of 10-60 min.
[0026] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0027] (1) The self-dispersing multifunctional composite dispersant disclosed in this invention is composed of two substances: anionic dispersant and cationic dispersant. The anionic dispersant provides aromatic rings, structurally similar to carbon nanotubes. These aromatic rings are anchored to the carbon nanotubes through π-π interactions, acting as anchoring groups. The cationic dispersant provides cations, which are electrostatically attracted to the anionic dispersant. Since anions have negative charges and cations have positive charges, the charge difference between them generates electrostatic attraction, leading to the formation of ionic bonds. These ionic bonds tightly bind the anions and cations together. Therefore, this increases the molecular weight of the dispersant, enhances steric hindrance, promotes the dispersion of carbon nanotubes, and prevents secondary aggregation between carbon nanotubes.
[0028] (2) The method for dispersing carbon nanotubes in this invention is a non-covalent functional method, which does not destroy the original structure of the carbon nanotubes and preserves their original sp. 2 The hybrid state is preserved, giving full play to its excellent performance.
[0029] (3) The carbon nanotube composite dispersant in this invention is obtained by compounding common raw materials, which is simple to synthesize and directly blends the raw materials. The dispersion process is simple to operate and suitable for industrial production. Moreover, the raw materials used are all sourced from the market and are inexpensive. In addition, the carbon nanotube slurry prepared by this invention has the characteristics of high concentration, high dispersibility and high stability, and can be used in fields such as conductivity, antistatic and corrosion prevention.

[0032] Figure 3 From left to right, the images show a comparison of the dispersion states of carbon nanotube aqueous dispersions in Example 5, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 2. Detailed Implementation
[0033] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described below are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0034] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.
[0035] The first aspect of the present invention provides a carbon nanotube composite dispersant, which is composed of an anionic dispersant and a cationic dispersant, wherein the anionic dispersant is an anionic small molecule containing an aromatic ring, and the cationic dispersant is a cationic water-soluble polymer.
[0036] The anionic dispersant described in this article is anionic small molecule material, defined as having a molecular weight <500 and containing an aromatic ring in its structure, thus enabling it to bind with carbon nanotubes through strong π-π bond interactions. The anionic dispersant described in this article may be one of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, benzoic acid, salicylic acid, 1-pyrenebutyric acid, or 2,5-thiophene dicarboxylic acid, but is not limited to these.
[0037] The cationic dispersant described herein is a cationic water-soluble polymer with a molecular weight between 1000 and 3000. Here, water solubility refers to its solubility in water or an aqueous medium. This water-soluble polymer possesses a sufficient number of hydrophilic groups, such as amide groups, for water solubility. The cationic polymer described herein may be one of cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) or cationic polyvinylpyrrolidone (CPVP), but is not limited to these.
[0038] The composite dispersant in this invention consists of anionic and cationic dispersants, and the dispersion mechanism utilizes the strong electrostatic attraction between anions and cations. Under external force, the anionic dispersant allows its small molecules to penetrate into the spaces between carbon nanotubes. The aromatic rings in its structure bind to the carbon nanotubes through strong π-π bond interactions. Subsequently, the cationic dispersant and anionic dispersants are electrostatically attracted to form hydrophilic segments, which helps stabilize the dispersion of carbon nanotubes in water and prevents secondary aggregation of the dispersed carbon nanotubes, thereby improving the quality and yield of the prepared carbon nanotube slurry. A schematic diagram of the carbon nanotube dispersion process is shown below. Figure 1 As shown in the image.
[0039] Furthermore, since small-molecule anionic dispersants adsorb more particles onto carbon nanotubes, resulting in less steric hindrance and a denser structure, the addition of cationic dispersants leads to a larger molecular weight and greater steric hindrance, preventing surrounding anions from attracting cations. Therefore, considering that the anions in the anionic dispersant cannot completely attract the cations in the cationic dispersant, and that excessive cationic dispersant would increase viscosity and hinder mechanical dispersion, a small amount of cationic dispersant is controlled during the specific preparation process. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the molar ratio of anions in the anionic dispersant to cations in the cationic dispersant is 1:(0.5-0.8); more preferably, the molar ratio of anions in the first substance to cations in the second substance is 1:0.6.
[0040] The second aspect of the present invention provides the application of the carbon nanotube composite dispersant described in the first aspect of the present invention in the preparation of carbon nanotube dispersions.
[0041] A third aspect of the present invention provides a carbon nanotube dispersion, which is obtained by dispersing the carbon nanotube composite dispersant described in the first aspect of the present invention.
[0042] A fourth aspect of this invention provides a method for preparing a carbon nanotube dispersion, comprising the following steps:
[0043] The carbon nanotube powder is thoroughly mixed with an anionic dispersant and deionized water to obtain a pretreated carbon nanotube dispersion.
[0044] A cationic dispersant was then added to the mixture, and the dispersion was continued to obtain an aqueous dispersion of carbon nanotubes.
[0045] There are no particular limitations on the type and size of the carbon nanotube powder. Any type of carbon nanotube powder commonly used in the art for preparing carbon nanotube slurry can be prepared using the preparation method of this invention. The selection can be made according to the actual situation. In some specific embodiments of this invention, the carbon nanotube powder is selected from one of arrayed carbon nanotubes and coiled carbon nanotubes, and the size (length) of the carbon nanotube powder is 3-100 μm.
[0046] In a further embodiment, the amount of anionic dispersant can be adjusted according to the amount of carbon nanotube powder. In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the mass ratio of the carbon nanotube powder to the anionic dispersant is 1:(0.25-2).
[0047] In a further embodiment, the dispersion of the present invention is mechanical dispersion, which is a conventional operation in the field. In order to further improve the dispersion efficiency, some embodiments of the present invention preferably use ultrasonic-assisted high-speed homogeneous dispersion. In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the power of the ultrasound is 200W-400W, and the time is 0.5-2h; the rotation speed of the high-speed homogeneous dispersion is 10000-20000rpm, and the dispersion time is 10-60min.
[0048] The present invention will be described below through specific embodiments. It should be noted that the specific embodiments below are for illustrative purposes only and do not limit the scope of the present invention in any way. In addition, unless otherwise specified, methods that do not specifically describe conditions or steps are conventional methods.
