Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of nanomaterials and fiber technology, specifically relating to a graphitized carbon nanotube, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Carbon nanotubes, due to their superior mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties, can be assembled into continuous one-dimensional fibers from macroscopic quantities, making them a key pathway for applications in defense, aerospace, and flexible electronics. Currently, the main method for preparing carbon nanotubes is chemical vapor deposition (CVD), which involves passing a carbon source gas through the surface of a nanoscale metal catalyst at a medium temperature (500-1000℃). After the carbon source gas decomposes, carbon atoms dissolve and precipitate on the catalyst particles, growing carbon nanotubes. However, this method relies on the carbon source gas and metal catalyst, the raw materials are non-renewable, and the production process is energy-intensive.

[0003] Therefore, it is very meaningful to develop a method for obtaining carbon nanotubes with readily available raw materials, simple processing, and excellent performance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a graphitized carbon nanotube, its preparation method, and its application. This method is simple to implement and yields carbon nanotubes with excellent performance.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows: A graphitized carbon nanotube, wherein the graphitized carbon nanotube has a graphite lattice stripe structure, a diameter of 400~900nm, a length up to the centimeter level, and a graphitization degree of up to 60~90%.

[0006] A method for preparing graphitized carbon nanotubes includes the following steps: Step 1. Dissolve the natural polymer raw material or polymeric polymer raw material in deionized water, and then add an electrolyte solution to obtain a precursor solution; in the precursor solution, the mass concentration of the natural polymer raw material or polymeric polymer raw material is 1-5 wt%, and the concentration of the electrolyte is 0.01-0.05 mol / L; Step 2. Stir the precursor solution obtained in Step 1, dialyze it, freeze-dry it, and obtain nanotubes; Step 3. The nanotubes obtained in Step 2 are sequentially carbonized and graphitized to obtain graphitized carbon nanotubes.

[0007] Furthermore, in step 1, the natural polymer raw materials are chitosan, sodium alginate, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, lignin, carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin, and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose; the polymer raw materials are polyacrylic acid, sodium polyacrylate, polyglycerol ester, polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluorophosphate copolymer, and polyvinyl alcohol.

[0008] Furthermore, in step 1, the electrolyte is sodium chloride, sodium sulfate, sodium sulfite, silver nitrate, or copper chloride.

[0009] Furthermore, in step 1, when the raw materials are electrolytes such as sodium alginate, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and sodium polyacrylate, no electrolyte solution is introduced into the precursor solution, and the sodium ion concentration in the precursor solution is controlled at 0.01-0.05 mol / L.

[0010] Furthermore, in step 2, after stirring the precursor solution, it is dialyzed for 1-3 days, then fully frozen in a liquid nitrogen environment and freeze-dried to obtain nanotubes.

[0011] Furthermore, in step 3, the carbonization process is as follows: the nanotubes are placed in a tube furnace and heated to 200-300℃ at a rate of 2-5℃ / min under an inert gas atmosphere, and held for 0.5-3h; then the temperature is increased to 400-600℃ at a rate of 5-10℃ / min and held for 2-6h to complete the carbonization.

[0012] Furthermore, in step 3, the graphitization process is as follows: the carbonized nanotubes are placed in a graphitization furnace, and the temperature is adjusted to a range of 1600~2000℃ for 10s by pulse current; the process of "adjusting the temperature range of 1600~2000℃ for 10s by pulse current" is repeated 5~10 times to complete the graphitization.

[0013] Furthermore, the graphitized carbon nanotubes obtained in step 3 have a graphite lattice stripe structure.

[0014] A method for preparing nanotube fibers based on graphitized carbon nanotubes, wherein graphitized carbon nanotubes are formed into fibers with adjustable length and diameter through methods such as wet spinning.

[0015] A method for preparing nanotube fibers based on graphitized carbon nanotubes includes the following steps: Step 1. Mix graphitized carbon nanotubes and a surfactant in water, with the concentration of graphitized nanotubes in the mixture being 0.5~1 wt%. Step 2. After sonicating the obtained mixture at room temperature for 60 min, inject it into the coagulation bath through a needle at a rate of 0.1~0.5 cm / min; Step 3. After complete solidification, the graphitized nanotube fibers obtained by wet spinning are immersed in deionized water for 24 hours to remove residual surfactants; then, they are left overnight at ambient temperature to obtain the final graphitized nanotube fibers.

[0016] Furthermore, in step 1, the surfactant is sodium cholate, sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, etc.

[0017] Furthermore, in step 2, the coagulation bath is composed of isopropanol and water in a volume ratio of (1~4):1.

[0018] Furthermore, in step 2, the diameter of the needle is on the order of micrometers or millimeters.

[0019] This invention also provides applications of the above-mentioned graphitized carbon nanotubes in electromagnetic absorbing materials, high-performance composite materials, flexible electronic devices, etc.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. This invention provides a graphitized carbon nanotube and its preparation method. By adding an electrolyte with strong ionization properties, appropriate ion size, and a certain hydration capacity to a precursor solution, and during low-temperature freezing, the environment provided by the electrolyte and the precursor aqueous solution induces self-assembly of natural polymer molecules based on intermolecular forces, resulting in nanotubes with ordered molecular arrangement. The preparation method is simple, low-cost, and produces nanotubes with smooth surfaces, sealed ends, and, most importantly, a particularly excellent high aspect ratio.

[0021] 2. This invention provides a graphitized carbon nanotube with a graphite lattice stripe structure. The graphite lattice stripes correspond to a six-membered ring network composed of sp² hybridized carbon atoms. This structure implies that there are no structural defects inside the carbon nanotube, allowing full utilization of the inherent strength of carbon-carbon bonds. This enables the tensile strength of the carbon nanotube to approach the theoretical limit, making it suitable for applications in aerospace, defense, and other fields. Furthermore, each carbon atom in the graphite lattice has an unbonded π electron. These electrons can move freely in the highly delocalized conjugated system, resulting in electrical conductivity superior to most metals and carbon fibers. In addition, the graphite lattice endows the material with excellent thermal conductivity, thermal stability, and chemical stability.

[0022] 3. This invention provides a graphitized carbon nanotube and its preparation method. High aspect ratio nanotubes are formed through self-assembly, followed by carbonization and graphitization to obtain graphitized carbon nanotubes. The graphitized carbon nanotubes possess graphite lattice fringes, exhibiting high internal order, minimal defects, and extremely high crystallinity. This results in materials with ultra-high strength, ultra-high modulus, excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, and outstanding stability. Attached Figure Description

After ultrasonic dispersion at room temperature, the mixture was injected into a coagulation bath through a needle to obtain graphitized nanotube fibers. The coagulation bath consisted of isopropanol and water mixed at a volume ratio of 3:1. After complete coagulation, the graphitized nanotube fibers were immersed in deionized water for 24 hours. After removal, they were dried overnight at room temperature to obtain graphitized chitosan carbon nanotube fibers. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) morphology image is shown below. Figure 16 As shown. By Figure 16 It can be seen that the fiber diameter is about 40μm and the surface is wrinkled.

The load-strain curve and stress-strain curve of the single fiber were obtained, and the results are as follows. Figure 17 As shown. By Figure 17 It can be seen that the maximum load a single fiber can withstand is 5 cN, the tensile strain is 12%, and the maximum tensile stress is 40 MPa.
