Some oxygen-containing surface groups were generated at the CNT surface, which converted the hydrophobic surface into a hydrophilic surface. The phase composition and the oxygen-containing surface groups of the CNTs treated by nitric acid were determined and characterized using Boehm′s neutralizing titration method and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. The results indicated that the total content of the formed oxygen-containing surface groups was the highest for the CNTs treated with 7.0 mol·L-1 aqueous HNO3 at 378 K for 24 h. The content of the three major oxygen-containing surface groups was: carboxyl>lactonic carboxyl>phenolic hydroxyl.国家重点基础研究发展规划项目(973)(2009CB939804);福建省重大科技专项专题项目(2009HZ0002-1

CCVD法制碳纳米管用Ni-Mg-O催化剂的制备研究

用草酸盐共沉淀法制备一类固溶体型NixMg1-xO纳米催化剂.该类催化剂用于甲烷催化分解合成碳纳米管(CNTs)显示出优良的性能.催化剂的制备优化研究揭示,催化剂的金属元素组成、氧化前驱物的焙烧和还原的温度对催化剂的性能有强烈的影响.在经优化的制备条件(n(Ni)∶n(Mg)=0.5:0.5,焙烧温度873 K,H2-还原温度973 K)下制备的Ni0.5Mg0.5O催化剂上,在经优化的制管反应条件(873 K,甲烷原料气GHSV=5×104mL/(h.g))下,反应2 h的CNTs产物的产率达到14.5 g/g
