Synthesis of low‐dimensional carbon nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is a key driver for achieving advances in energy storage, computing, and multifunctional composites, among other applications. Here, we report high‐yield thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) synthesis of CNTs catalyzed by reagent‐grade common sodium‐containing compounds, including NaCl, NaHCO3, Na2CO3, and NaOH, found in table salt, baking soda, and detergents, respectively. Coupled with an oxidative dehydrogenation reaction to crack acetylene at reduced temperatures, Na‐based nanoparticles have been observed to catalyze CNT growth at temperatures below 400 °C. Ex situ and in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) reveal unique CNT morphologies and growth characteristics, including a vaporizing Na catalyst phenomenon that we leverage to create CNTs without residual catalyst particles for applications that require metal‐free CNTs. Na is shown to synthesize CNTs on numerous substrates, and as the first alkali group metal catalyst demonstrated for CNT growth, holds great promise for expanding the understanding of nanocarbon synthesis.  相似文献

对水促进Co/Mo/Al2O3催化剂裂解乙烯生长碳纳米管(CNTs)的研究发现,通入体积分数(φ)为0.6%的水蒸汽在1h内可将CNTs的生长倍率从3.7 g·g-1提高至70 g·g-1.水的作用在于恢复被无定形碳包覆的催化剂颗粒的活性,水的加入量由于其积碳(促进同体碳生成)和消碳(去除固体碳)的竞争作用而存在最佳值.不同反应时间下乙烯的转化率与有效催化剂含量的分析表明,在CNTs生长后期,水的催化促进作用减弱.将催化剂的相对活性与CNT聚团的相对密度关联发现,反应后期的CNTs主要在聚团内部缠绕生长,催化剂被包覆失活.拉曼测试与差热热重分析表明,生长阻力导致所得CNTs缺陷增多,CNT聚团密度变化与CNT缺陷间存在对应关系.聚团内外CNTs的生长阻力不同,生长倍率不同,导致产品纯度不均匀.  相似文献

Adsorptions of dimethyl phthalate (DMP) on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in aqueous phase at various pH and temperatures were studied. The increase in pH results in the increase in adsorption coefficient. The adsorption is governed by the π-π electron interaction which is affected by the changes in pH of the medium. The outer diameter of the CNTs greatly influences the adsorption behavior of CNT for DMP. Under the same working temperature, the adsorption capacity of CNTs for DMP is inversely related to the average outer diameter of the CNT: single-walled SWCNT (1.4 nm)>multi-walled MWCNT10 (9.4 nm)>MWCNT30 (27.8 nm)>MWCNT40 (42.7 nm). The larger surface area of CNTs provides many active sites for adsorption of DMP molecules. The Freundlich model can describe well the adsorption isotherms of DMP on CNTs. The thermodynamic parameters of standard free energy, standard enthalpy (ΔH), and standard entropy changes are determined, showing that the adsorption of DMP on CNTs is an endothermic and spontaneous reaction. The ΔH value of 27.8 nm-sized MWCNT (22.69 kJ/mol) is higher than 1.4 nm-sized SWCNT (6.05 kJ/mol), inferring that the adsorption process becomes more endothermic with the increase in the outer diameter of CNTs.  相似文献

Owing to the unique structure of zigzag (ZZ) carbon nanotubes (CNTs), their ring‐by‐ring growth behavior is different from that of chiral or armchair (AC) CNTs, on the rims of which kinks serve as active sites for carbon attachment. Through first‐principle calculations, we found that, because of the high energy barrier of initiating a new carbon ring at the rim of a ZZ CNT, the growth rate of a ZZ CNT is proportional to its diameter and significantly (10–1000 times) slower than that of other CNTs. This study successfully explained the broad experimental observation of the lacking of ZZ CNTs in CNT samples and completed the theory of CNT growth.  相似文献

This study examined the feasibility of removing direct dyes C.I. Direct Yellow 86 (DY86) and C.I. Direct Red 224 (DR224) from aqueous solutions using carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The effects of dye concentration, CNT dosage, ionic strength and temperature on adsorption of direct dyes by CNTs were also evaluated. Pseudo second-order, intraparticle diffusion and Bangham models were adopted to evaluate experimental data and thereby elucidate the kinetic adsorption process. Additionally, this study used the Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin and Radushkevich (D-R) and Temkin isotherms to describe equilibrium adsorption. The adsorption percentage of direct dyes increased as CNTs dosage, NaCl addition and temperature increased. Conversely, the adsorption percentage of direct dyes decreased as dye concentration increased. The pseudo second-order model best represented adsorption kinetics. Based on the regressions of intraparticle diffusion and Bangham models, experimental data suggest that the adsorption of direct dyes onto CNTs involved intraparticle diffusion, but that was not the only rate-controlling step. The equilibrium adsorption of DR86 is best fitted in the Freundlich isotherm and that of DR224 was best fitted in the D-R isotherm. The capacity of CNTs to adsorb DY86 and DR224 was 56.2 and 61.3 mg/g, respectively. For DY86, enthalpy (DeltaH(0)) and entropy (DeltaS(0)) were 13.69 kJ/mol and 139.51 J/mol K, respectively, and those for DR224 were 24.29 kJ/mol and 172.06 J/mol K, respectively. The values of DeltaH(0), DeltaG(0) and E all indicate that the adsorption of direct dyes onto CNTs was a physisorption process.  相似文献

Ni‐B and Ni‐B/CNTs amorphous alloy catalysts were prepared by chemical reduction and impregnation‐chemical reduction methods, respectively, and characterized by TEM, ICP, XPS, XRD, BET and CO chemisorption techniques. Their catalytic activities were evaluated in acetylene selective hydrogenation reaction. Based on characterizations, the effects of carbon nanotubes on Ni‐B amorphous alloy were attributed to both its structure effect, dispersing Ni‐B particles, leading to bigger surface area of active nickel and enhancing the thermal stability, and the electronic effect, resulting in electron‐rich nickel centers. Therefore, the superior thermal stability and acetylene selective hydrogenation activities of Ni‐B/CNTs to Ni‐B amorphous catalyst were obtained in the present study.  相似文献

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been widely used in a variety of applications because of their unique structure and excellent mechanical and electrical properties. Additionally, silver (Ag) nanoparticles exhibit broad-spectrum biocidal activity toward many different bacteria, fungi, and viruses. In this study, we prepared Ag-coated CNT hybrid nanoparticles (Ag/CNTs) using aerosol nebulization and thermal evaporation/condensation processes and tested their usefulness for antimicrobial air filtration. Droplets were generated from a CNT suspension using a six-jet collison nebulizer, passed through a diffusion dryer to remove moisture, and entered a thermal tube furnace where silver nanoparticles were generated by thermal evaporation/condensation at ~980 °C in a nitrogen atmosphere. The CNT and Ag nanoparticle aerosols mixed together and attached to each other, forming Ag/CNTs. For physicochemical characterization, the Ag/CNTs were introduced into a scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS) for size distribution measurements and were sampled by the nanoparticle sampler for morphological and elemental analyses. For antimicrobial air filtration applications, the airborne Ag/CNT particles generated were deposited continuously onto an air filter medium. Physical characteristics (fiber morphology, pressure drop, and filtration efficiency) and biological characteristics (antimicrobial tests against Staphylococcus epidermidis and Escherichia coli bioaerosols) were evaluated. Real-time SMPS and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) data showed that Ag nanoparticles that were <20 nm in diameter were homogeneously dispersed and adhered strongly to the CNT surfaces. Because of the attachment of Ag nanoparticles onto the CNT surfaces, the total particle surface area concentration measured by a nanoparticle surface area monitor (NSAM) was lower than the summation of each Ag nanoparticle and CNT generated. When Ag/CNTs were deposited on the surface of an air filter medium, the antimicrobial activity against test bacterial bioaerosols was enhanced, compared with the deposition of CNTs or Ag nanoparticles alone, whereas the filter pressure drop and bioaerosol filtration efficiency were similar to those of CNT deposition only. At a residence time of 2 h, the relative microbial viabilities of gram-positive S. epidermidis were ~32, 13, 5, and 0.9% on the control, CNT-, Ag nanoparticle-, and Ag/CNT-deposited filters, respectively, and those of gram-negative E. coli were 13, 2.1, 0.4, and 0.1% on the control, CNTs, Ag nanoparticles, and Ag/CNTs, respectively. These Ag/CNT hybrid nanoparticles may be useful for applications in biomedical devices and antibacterial control systems.  相似文献

The photolysis reaction of di-tert-butylperoxide was studied in various solvents by photoacoustic calorimetry (PAC). This technique allows the determination of the enthalpy of this homolysis reaction, which by definition corresponds to the O-O bond dissociation enthalpy of the peroxide in solution, DHsin(degrees)(O-O). The derived value from these experiments in benzene, 156.7 +/- 9.9 kJ mol(-1), is very similar to a widely accepted value for the gas-phase bond dissociation enthalpy, DH(degrees)(O-O) = 159.0 +/- 2.1 kJ mol(-1). However, when the PAC-based value is used together with auxiliary experimental data and Drago's ECW model to estimate the required solvation terms, it leads to 172.3 +/- 10.2 kJ mol(-1) for the gas-phase bond dissociation enthalpy. This result, significantly higher than the early literature value, is however in excellent agreement with a recent gas-phase determination of 172.5 +/- 6.6 kJ mol(-1). The procedure to derive the gas-phase DH(degrees)(O-O) was tested by repeating the PAC experiments in carbon tetrachloride and acetonitrile. The average of the values thus obtained was DH(degrees)(O-O) = 179.6 +/- 4.5 kJ mol(-1), confirming that the early gas-phase result is a lower limit. More importantly, the present study questions the usual assumption that the solvation terms of homolysis reactions producing free radicals in solution should cancel, and suggests a methodology to estimate solvation enthalpies of free radicals.  相似文献

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were grown directly on the surface of carbon fibres, using the catalytic chemical vapour deposition. FeCo bimetallic catalysts were deposited on carbon fibres using a simple wet impregnation method. CNTs were synthesized over the prepared catalysts by the catalytic decomposition of acetylene at 750oC. The uniform CNT formation on the fibre surface was verified using scanning electron microscopy. Raman spectroscopy was employed to evaluate non‐destructively the CNT growth and the CNT quality. Thermo gravimetric analysis and differential thermal analysis were employed as destructive methods to confirm the spectroscopic data. Single CNT‐coated fibre fragmentation tests were performed to examine the interfacial shear strength (ISS) of the modified fibres. Acoustic emission was employed to monitor the fragmentation process in real time. Thus, the coated fibre structural integrity was assessed together with its stress transfer properties. Polarized optical microscopy was employed to cross validate the acoustic emission data. It was found that the ISS of the nanotube‐reinforced interphase was improved without affecting the fibre mechanical properties. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were directly synthesized on flexible polymer substrates without damage of polymer by microwave irradiation. Cobalt was used as the catalysts, and the synthesis was done in the atmospheric pressure with an acetylene carbon source. Only 5 s was required for the synthesis of well-graphitized CNTs. Field emission measurements revealed that this flexible CNT field emitter array has a great potential for the flexible field emission displays (FEDs).  相似文献

The functions and structures of Mo/Ni/MgO catalysts in the synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Raman spectroscopy. Thin 2-5-walled CNTs with high purities (over 90%) have been successfully synthesized by catalytic decomposition of CH(4) over Mo/Ni/MgO catalysts at 1073 K. It has been found that the yield of CNTs as well as the outer diameter or thickness correlates well with the contents of these three elements. The three components Mo, Ni, and MgO are all necessary to synthesize the thin CNTs at high yields since no catalytic activity was observed for CNT synthesis when one of these components was not present. The outer diameter of the CNTs increases from 4 to 13 nm and the thickness of graphene layers also increases with increasing Mo content at a fixed Ni content, while the inner diameter stays at 2-3 nm regardless of their contents. Furthermore, the average outer diameter is in good agreement with the average particle size of metal catalyst. That is, the thickness or the outer diameter can be controlled by selecting the composition of the Mo/Ni/MgO catalysts. XRD analyses have shown that Mo and Ni form a Mo-Ni alloy before CNT synthesis, while the Mo-Ni alloy phase is separated into Mo carbide and Ni. These alloy particles are supported on MgO cubic particles 15-20 nm in width. It has been found that only small Mo-Ni alloy particles 2-16 nm in size catalyze CNT synthesis, with larger particles over 15 nm exhibiting no activity. Mo carbide and Ni should play different roles in the synthesis of the thin CNTs, in which Ni is responsible for the dissociation of CH(4) into carbon and Mo(2)C works as a carbon reservoir.  相似文献

Colloidal Fe-V-O nanoparticles prepared as carbon nanotube (CNT) growth catalysts were precisely size-classified by fractional precipitation. Furthermore, the classification ability was improved by the fractional precipitation after ligand exchange process, which allowed us to obtain narrower size distributions of nanoparticles. CNTs were grown from the nanoparticles in order to investigate the dependence of diameter distribution of CNTs on that of nanoparticles. The results show that the diameter distribution of CNTs grown from classified nanoparticles was narrower than that of CNTs grown from as-prepared nanoparticles.  相似文献

The values of the molar standard enthalpies of formation, Delta(f)H(o)(m)(C(76), cr) = (2705.6 +/- 37.7) kJ x mol(-1), Delta(f)H(o)(m)(C(78), cr) = (2766.5 +/- 36.7) kJ x mol(-1), and Delta(f)H(o)(m)(C(84), cr) = (2826.6 +/- 42.6) kJ x mol(-1), were determined from the energies of combustion, measured by microcombustion calorimetry on a high-purity sample of the D(2) isomer of fullerene C(76), as well as on a mixture of the two most abundant constitutional isomers of C(78) (C(2nu)-C(78) and D(3)-C(78)) and C(84) (D(2)-C(84), and D(2d)-C(84). These values, combined with the published data on the enthalpies of sublimation of each cluster, lead to the gas-phase enthalpies of formation, Delta(f)H(o)(m)(C(76), g) = (2911.6 +/- 37.9) kJ x mol(-1); Delta(f)H(o)(m)(C(78), g) = (2979.3 +/- 37.2) kJ x mol(-1), and Delta(f)H(o)(m)(C(84), (g)) = (3051.6 +/- 43.0) kJ x mol(-1), results that were found to compare well with those reported from density functional theory calculations. Values of enthalpies of atomization, strain energies, and the average C-C bond energy were also derived for each fullerene. A decreasing trend in the gas-phase enthalpy of formation and strain energy per carbon atom as the size of the cluster increases is found. This is the first experimental evidence that these fullerenes become more stable as they become larger. The derived experimental average C-C bond energy E(C-C) = 461.04 kJ x mol(-1) for fullerenes is close to the average bond energy E(C-C) = 462.8 kJ x mol(-1) for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).  相似文献

Syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS) composites filled with well-dispersed multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were readily prepared through a coagulation method. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and wide-angle X-ray diffraction revealed the effect of CNTs on the polymorphism of sPS. When crystallized from the melted state, the formation of the β-form was always favored after CNT addition regardless of crystallization conditions (isothermal or non-isothermal). In the case where liquid nitrogen was used to quench the melt, the uncrystallized material that was not able to crystallize in the extremely short crystallization time crystallized in the α form upon subsequent cold crystallization. Regardless of the CNT content, the glass transition and equilibrium melting temperature of the sPS matrix were unchanged at ∼96 and 290 °C, respectively. With a gradual increase in CNT loading, the sPS crystallization rate initially increased but then reached a plateau value at high CNT concentrations because of the reduction in chain mobility. Moreover, the Avrami exponent was changed from 2.8 for samples at low CNT contents to 2.0 for samples with a CNT concentration above 0.1 wt.%, at which the rheological threshold was approached and a polymer-CNT hybrid network was formed. The enhanced crystallization kinetics was attributed to the high nucleating ability of CNTs to induce a transcrystalline layer (TCL) at its surface, as revealed by transmission electron microscopy. For composites with low levels of CNT, the growth of sPS spherulites in the bulk between CNTs prevailed. Provided that the CNT-related networks were developed, the two-dimensional growth of cylindrical TCL at the CNT surface became dominant and led to the expected Avrami exponent.  相似文献

Recent advances in the production of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are reviewed with an emphasis on the use of carbon dioxide (CO2) as a sole source of carbon. Compared to the most widely used carbon precursors such as graphite, methane, acetylene, ethanol, ethylene, and coal-derived hydrocarbons, CO2 is competitively cheaper with relatively high carbon yield content. However, CNT synthesis from CO2 is a newly emerging technology, and hence it needs to be explored further. A theoretical and analytical comparison of the currently existing CNT-CO2 synthesis techniques is given including a review of some of the process parameters (i.e., temperature, pressure, catalyst, etc.) that affect the CO2 reduction rate. Such analysis indicates that there is still a fundamental need to further explore the following aspects so as to realize the full potential of CO2 based CNT technology: (1) the CNT-CO2 synthesis and formation mechanism, (2) catalytic effects of transitional metals and mechanisms, (3) utilization of metallocenes in the CNT-CO2 reactions, (4) applicability of ferrite-organometallic compounds in the CNT-CO2 synthesis reactions, and (5) the effects of process parameters such as temperature, etc.  相似文献

We describe the growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) from catalytic nanoparticles formed on a nickel surface. For the growth of CNTs, a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) furnace was set up and ethanol was used as carbon source. Observation of SEM images shows that CNTs grew densely on the nickel surface and that nanoparticles play a key role in the growth of the CNTs. XRD and Raman analyses reveal that the obtained products have graphitic pattern of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Also HRTEM images confirm clearly that the product was a MWCNT and their diameter was in the range of 20–50 nm.  相似文献
