This invention discloses a low-temperature preparation technology for
plasma-assisted
hydrothermal synthesis of carbon nanotubes and its application in the field of
cold cathode technology. It relates to the fields of
carbon nanotube preparation and
cold cathode technology, including the construction of a
reaction system containing a catalyst precursor and a
carbon source, and a
hydrothermal reaction: the catalyst precursor is a
phosphorus-free core-shell Ni-Mo-
ammonium citrate complex, formed by
nickel nitrate,
sodium molybdate, and
ammonium citrate in the order Ni... 2+ :MoO4 2‑ The reaction is carried out with a citrate
molar ratio of 3:1:1.2. In this invention,
phosphorus residue and catalyst agglomeration are eliminated by using a
phosphorus-free core-shell catalyst, combined with a composite
heteroatom source and ultrasonic-stirring dispersion process, and a three-stage pulsed
plasma reaction at ≤190℃. This optimizes the quality of carbon nanotubes, eliminates the need for
acid washing / annealing, and is compatible with flexible substrates. The
cold cathode is fixed by a modified
PET substrate and a
metal-free
transition layer, ultimately achieving a 1×10⁻⁶ reaction. ‑4 Achieving an on-state
electric field ≤1.8V / μm, a threshold
electric field ≤4.2V / μm, and a
current density stability ≥90% under Pa conditions, this technology solves the problems of
carbon nanotube quality, cost, substrate compatibility, and cold
cathode performance in traditional technologies.
