Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for the functionalization of carbon fibers with the vapor of nitric acid, so modified carbon fibers and their use.
- Carbon nanofibers are understood in the prior art mainly cylindrical carbon tubes with a diameter between 3 and 100 nm and a length which is a multiple of the diameter. These tubes consist of one or more layers of ordered carbon atoms and have a different nucleus in morphology. These carbon nanofibers are also referred to as “carbon fibrils” or “hollow carbon fibers”, for example.
- Carbon nanofibers have long been known in the literature. Although Iijima (Publication: S. Iijima, Nature 354, 56-58, 1991) is generally referred to as the discoverer of nanotubes, these materials, especially fibrous graphite materials with multiple layers of graphite, have been around since the 1970s and early 1980s, respectively known. Tates and Baker (GB 1469930A1, 1977 and EP 56004 A2) described for the first time the deposition of very fine fibrous carbon from the catalytic decomposition of hydrocarbons. However, the carbon filaments made from short-chain hydrocarbons are no longer characterized in terms of their diameter.
- Typical structures of these carbon nanofibers are those of the cylinder type. In the cylindrical structures, a distinction is made between the single walled carbon nanotubes and the multiwalled carbon nanotubes (Multi Wall Carbon Nano Tubes) Tubes). Common processes for their production include arc discharge, laser ablation, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and chemical vapor deposition (CCVD process).
- the carbon nanofibers become hydrophilic due to the oxidation, which makes possible an aqueous catalyst preparation because of the improved wetting properties.
- those on the surface produced oxygen-containing functional groups serve as anchor sites for catalyst precursor complexes.
- a key function is attributed to the carboxyl groups (Boehm, HP Carbon 32: 759: 69 (1994)).
- the literature describes a large number of methods for the treatment of carbon nanofibres. These include the oxygen (Morishita, K. Takarada T., Carbon 35: 977-81 (1997); Ajayan, PM et al., Nature 362: 522-5 (1993); Ebbesen, TW et al., Nature 367 : 519-9 (1997)), ozone (ByI, O. et al., Langmuir 21: 4200-4 (2005)), carbon dioxide (Tsang, SC et al., Nature 262: 520-2 (1993) Seo, K. et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 125: 13946-7 (2003)), water (Xia, W.
- An objective of these treatments may also be the purification, cutting and opening of the carbon nanofibers (Liu, J. et al., 280: 1253-6 (1998)).
- US 04/0253374 describes a process for purifying and reinforcing carbon nanofibers with a pretreated dilute aqueous nitric acid solution and by using helium as a carrier gas in a fluidized bed reactor at temperatures of 400 0 C, resulting in the nitro groups on the surface.
- a disadvantage of this process is the use of large amounts of helium, which is necessary to keep the carbon nanofiber agglomerates in suspension and the abrasion caused by the rubbing together of the carbon particles, which is carried out with the carrier gas.
- WO 02/45812 A2 describes a purification process for carbon nanofibers, wherein the steam is condensed before the treatment of the fibers and thus a filtration of the fibers is necessary.
- the object underlying the invention is achieved by a process for the functionalization of carbon fibers, wherein a) carbon fibers 1 are introduced into a reactor 2, which has an inlet 3 and an outlet 4, b) heating the reactor 2 to a temperature in a range of 125 to 500 ° C, c) passing steam of nitric acid 5 through the reactor 2, and d) then drying the treated carbon fibers.
- Nitric acid in the sense of the invention does not exclude that it is diluted with water or used in combination with sulfuric acid, for example.
- a simple but highly effective method of functionalizing carbon fibers by treatment with nitric acid vapor is provided, thereby avoiding the problematic separation by filtration.
- nitric acid vapor a significantly larger amount of oxygen species on the surface can be detected by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
- XPS X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
- a new gas phase method for the oxidation and functionalization of carbon nanofibers is provided.
- the treatment with nitric acid vapor proves to be a more effective method for generating oxygen-containing functional groups on, for example, carbon nanofiber surfaces, compared to the conventional liquid nitric acid method, without aggravating the morphology and degree of agglomeration and choosing the temperature of the treatment can be.
- the use of HNO 3 gas phase treatment is more advantageous because filtration, washing and drying steps are avoided.
- the carbon fibers used are carbon nanofibers, in particular those having an outer diameter in the range from 3 up to 500 nm.
- the diameter can be determined, for example, by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM). If one uses carbon fibers with a diameter below the preferred range, it may happen that in the treatment, the carbon fibers are destroyed or at least severely impaired in their mechanical properties. Using carbon fibers with an outer diameter above the preferred range, the BET specific surface area may become too low for certain applications such as catalysis.
- Carbon nanofibers for the purposes of the invention are all single-walled or multi-walled carbon nanotubes of the cylinder type, scroll type or onion-like structure. Preference is given to using multi-walled carbon nanotubes of the cylinder type, scroll type or mixtures thereof. Particular preference is given to using carbon nanofibers having a length to outside diameter ratio of greater than 5, preferably greater than 100.
- the carbon nanofibers are particularly preferably used in the form of agglomerates, the agglomerates in particular having an average diameter in the range from 0.05 to 5 mm, preferably 0.1 to 2 mm, particularly preferably 0.2 to 1 mm.
- the carbon nanofibers to be used preferably have essentially an average diameter of 3 to 100 nm, more preferably 5 to 80 nm, particularly preferably 6 to 60 nm.
- CNT structures which consist of several graphene layers which are combined into a stack and rolled up (multiscroll type).
- These carbon nanotubes and carbon nanotube agglomerates thereof, for example, are still the subject matter unpublished German patent application with the official file reference 102007044031.8. Their content is hereby incorporated with respect to the CNT and its preparation to the disclosure of this application.
- This CNT structure is similar to the simple scroti type carbon nanotubes in comparison with the structure of multi-walled cylindrical monocarbon nanotubes (cylindrical MWNT) to the structure of single-walled cylindrical carbon nanotubes (cylindrical SWNT).
- the individual graphene or graphite layers in these carbon nanofibers viewed in cross-section, evidently run continuously from the center of the CNT to the outer edge without interruption. This can be z.
- CCVD Catalytic Carbon Vapor Deposition
- acetylene, methane, ethane, ethylene, butane, butene, butadiene, benzene and other carbon-containing reactants Preference is therefore given to using CNTs obtainable from catalytic processes.
- the catalysts usually include metals, metal oxides or decomposable or reducible metal components.
- the metals mentioned for the catalyst are Fe, Mo, Ni, V, Mn, Sn, Co, Cu and other subgroup elements.
- carbon nanotubes and the properties of the tubes formed are known to be complex in a manner dependent on the metal component used as a catalyst or a combination of several metal components, the catalyst support optionally used and the catalyst-carrier interaction, the reactant gas and partial pressure, an admixture of hydrogen or other gases, the reaction temperature and the residence time or the reactor used.
- a particularly preferred method for the production of carbon nanotubes is known from WO 2006/050903 A2.
- carbon nanotubes of various structures are produced, which can be removed from the process predominantly as carbon nanotube powder.
- Carbon nanofibers more preferred for the invention are obtained by methods basically described in the following references: The production of carbon nanotubes with diameters smaller than 100 nm is described for the first time in EP 205 556 Bl. For the preparation here light (ie, short- and medium-chain aliphatic or mononuclear or dinuclear aromatic) hydrocarbons and an iron-based catalyst are used, are decomposed at the carbon carrier compounds at a temperature above 800-900 0 C.
- WO86 / 03455A1 describes the production of carbon filaments having a cylindrical structure with a constant diameter of 3.5 to 70 nm, an aspect ratio (length to diameter ratio) greater than 100 and a core region. These fibrils consist of many continuous layers of ordered carbon atoms arranged concentrically around the cylindrical axis of the fibrils. These cylindrical nanotubes were produced by a CVD process from carbonaceous compounds by means of a metal-containing particle at a temperature between 850 0 C and 1200 0 C.
- multi-walled carbon nanotubes in the form of nested seamless cylindrical nanotubes or also in the form of the described scroll or onion structures, today takes place commercially in large quantities, predominantly using catalytic processes. These processes usually show a higher yield than the above-mentioned arc and other processes and today are typically carried out on the kg scale (several hundred kilo / day worldwide).
- the MW carbon nanotubes produced in this way are generally much cheaper than the single-walled nanotubes and are therefore used, for example. used as a performance-enhancing additive in other materials.
- carbon fibers having a BET surface area in a range of 10 to 500 m 2 / g / more preferably in a range of 20 to 200 m 2 / g.
- the BET specific surface area can be determined, for example, using the device Sorptomatic 1990 from Porotec according to DIN 66131 be determined. If one uses carbon fibers with a BE ⁇ T surface below the preferred range, this can - as already indicated - lead to the fact that the carbon fibers for certain applications such as catalysis are no longer suitable. Using carbon fibers with a BET surface area in excess of the preferred range may cause the carbon fibers to be excessively attacked or even destroyed by treatment with the nitric acid vapor.
- a condenser 6 is provided, the outlet of the condenser 7 for the condensate being connected via a return line 8 to a reservoir 9 for the nitric acid 5.
- a condenser 6 is provided, the outlet of the condenser 7 for the condensate being connected via a return line 8 to a reservoir 9 for the nitric acid 5.
- a glass bulb is used as the reservoir 9 for the nitric acid, which is heated in particular with an oil bath 10.
- This reservoir 9 is advantageously arranged below the reactor 2.
- the steam of the nitric acid when heated in the glass bulb by the oil bath, may come into contact with the carbon fibers through the inlet of the reactor.
- the reactor is therefore preferably arranged vertically, wherein the inlet for the vapor of nitric acid is arranged below the carbon fibers and the outlet is arranged above the carbon fibers.
- the steam can thus flow through the reactor and pass through the outlet of the reactor into the condenser, where the nitric acid is subsequently condensed and returned to the reservoir.
- the reactor 2 is heated, for example, with a heater 11.
- step (b) the reactor is left for a period in the range of 3 to 20 hours, in particular in a range of 5 to 15 hours at this temperature. If one falls short of this period, then there is too little modification of the surface. Exceeding this preferred range shows no further improvement in surface modification.
- the temperature for the period of the treatment to a temperature below 250 0 C and independently of a temperature above 150 0 C. These temperatures have been found to be particularly suitable for the surface modification of carbon fibers with oxygen.
- the step (c) of drying is carried out over a period of time in a range of 0.5 to 4 hours and independently at a temperature in the range of 80 to 150 0 C.
- the easiest way to dry them is to prevent the nitric acid in the storage tank from being heated, so that no further steam is generated.
- the carbon fibers may be positioned in the vapor stream with a fixture 12.
- This holding device may be, for example, a sieve, grid or even rust.
- the five-hour treatment with nitric acid vapor at 125 0 C seems to be an efficient method, for example, to use the carbon nanofibers as a support for catalysts that can be applied by impregnation.
- the object underlying the invention is achieved by carbon fibers, characterized in that the ratio of oxygen atoms to carbon atoms derived from the atomic surface concentrations measured with XPS is greater than 0.18.
- carbon fibers characterized in that the ratio of oxygen atoms to carbon atoms derived from the atomic surface concentrations measured with XPS is greater than 0.18.
- those carbon fibers are particularly preferred in which the ratio of oxygen atoms to carbon atoms, derived from the atomic surface concentrations measured with XPS, is greater than 0.2.
- XPS is for the purposes of the invention for "X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy".
- the functional groups produced in the nitric acid gas phase treatment on the surface of the carbon nanofibers be as reactive as possible for further subsequent reaction steps.
- Particularly reactive are free unesterified carboxyl or carboxylic acid groups, which are to be contained in the highest possible number, as well as carboxylic anhydride groups, which also have a sufficient reactivity.
- carbon fibers containing more than 400 ⁇ mol as the sum of carboxylic acid groups and carboxylic anhydride groups per g of carbon are further preferable. Particularly preferred are those Carbon fibers containing more than 350 ⁇ mol of carboxylic acid groups per g of carbon chemically bound.
- the lowest possible leaving temperature in the TPD analysis is a sure sign of the best possible reactivity of the cleaving functional group for subsequent reactions. Since CO 2 is split off for the most part at lower temperatures than CO, carbon nanofibers, which split off more than 45% of their chemically bound oxygen as CO 2 in the TPD analysis, are furthermore preferred. Very particular preference is given to carbon fibers which contain more oxygen in CO 2- releasing or desorbing groups than are bonded in CO-releasing groups.
- the object underlying the invention is achieved by carbon fibers obtainable by the process according to the invention.
- the object underlying the invention is achieved by the use of the carbon fibers according to the invention in composite materials, energy storage devices, as sensors, as adsorbents, as carriers for heterogeneous catalysts or as catalytically active material.

- Table 2 shows the values for the quantification of the various functional groups from the TPD measurements for CO cleavage. The amounts are shown in ⁇ mol / g (10-6 mol / g).
- the construction used for the HNO 3 gas phase treatment is shown in FIG.
- 200 mg carbon nanofibers 1 (50-200 nm diameter, Applied Sciences, Ohio, USA) were incorporated into the reactor 2 and in various experiments to a temperature of 125 0 C, 150 0 C, 175 ° C, 200 0 C 250 0 C heated.
- the round bottom flask 9 was concentrated with 150 ml.
- HNO 3 5 filled and heated to 125 0 C with stirring.
- the attached Gegenstromküh- ler 6 was connected to the exhaust. After a defined time period of 5, 10 and 15 hours, the heating of the oil bath 10 was turned off and the heating of the reactor 1 was held at 110 ° C for an additional 2 hours to dry the treated carbon nanofibers.
- the carbon nanofibers 1 were comprehensively characterized.
- the construction used effectively prevents the return of condensed liquid nitric acid within the cooler back over the sample. Accordingly, the treatment was completely carried out under gas-phase conditions, since wetting of the carbon nanofibers with liquid nitric acid was completely avoided.
- the morphology of carbon nanofibers was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (LEO Gemini 1530). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was performed in an ultra-high vacuum system with a Gamma-Data-Scienta SES 2002 analyzer. The pressure in the measuring chamber was 2xlQ ⁇ 10 rrsbar.
- Al K 0 radiation (1486.6 eV, 14 kV, 55 mA) was used at a transmission energy of 200 eV, whereby an energy resolution of better than 0.5 eV could be achieved. Possible charging effects were compensated by the use of a slow electron source.
- the binding energies were calibrated to the position of the main signal of the carbon (C Is) at 284.5 eV.
- XP spectroscopy is a proven method for the characterization of oxygen-containing functional groups. Different oxygenated groups can be distinguished by the C Is and O ls spectra (Okpalugo, TIT et al., Carbon 43: 153-61 (2005); Martinez, MT et al., Carbon 41: 2247-56 (2003)). As an example of this, the XP spectra of carbon nanofibers are shown, which were treated for 15 hours at different temperatures.
- Figure 2 (a) shows the XPS overview spectra of the carbon nanofibers after 15 hours of HNO 3 gas phase treatment at different temperatures. The signals in the C Is, O Is and O KLL regions are clearly visible. The presence of nitrogen is indicated by a weak N Is signal at about 400 eV. The intensity of the O ls signal increases with increasing temperature, while that of the C ls signal decreases accordingly.
- the O / C ratio after HNO 3 treatment at 125 0 C is about 0.155, which is slightly higher than in the conventional HNO 3 treatment at 120 0 C and 1.5 hours duration and slightly lower than in the conventional mixed acid treatment (HNO 3 and H 2 SO 4) at 120 0 C and 1.5 hours duration.
- the ratio increases with increasing temperature and duration of treatment. After 15 hours of treatment at 175 0 C or 200 0 C, the ratio is more than 0.21. Under these conditions, the amount of oxygen on the carbon nanofibers seems to reach the saturation limit, which becomes apparent by the flattening of the correlation curve.
- the carbon nanofibers could be used without additional steps such. As filtration, washing and drying continue to be used. There was no change in the bulk density of the carbon nanofibers after the treatment " and the SEM images show that no morphological changes of the carbon nanofibers occurred through the treatment ( Figure 4) .
- the frequent agglomeration by conventional treatment with liquid HNO 3 was not observed in the HNO 3 gas-phase treatment, nor is the morphology of the carbon nanofibers altered by the gas-phase treatment ( Figure 3) and the treatment of carbon nanofibers grown on various carbon substrates, such as Graphite foil or carbon fibers (Briggs, D. et al., John Wiley & Sons 635-6 (2994); Li, N.
- TPD measurements temperature programmed desorption
- carbon nanofibers (Baytubes C150P) were conventionally treated in liquid phase with HNO 3 as well as in the gas phase with NO 2 and a mixture of NO 2 and O 2 . These gas phase treatments were carried out in a vertical quartz tube having an inner diameter of 20 mm.
- NO 2 (10 vol% in helium) was passed through the bed of carbon nanofibers at a flow rate of 10 sccm.
- additional oxygen (20.5% by volume in N 2 , 5 sccm) was passed into the NO 2 / He gas stream in order to set a ratio of NO 2 : O 2 of 1: 1 in the carrier gas.
- the coal The substance nanofibers are refluxed for 3 hours in concentrated nitric acid (65%, JTBaker).
- FIG. 5 show a significantly different release of CO and CO 2 as a function of the temperature for the differently functionalized carbon nanofibers. It is clear that the carbon nanofibers treated with HNO 3 in the gas phase release larger amounts of both CO and CO 2 , indicating an overall higher surface functionalization with oxygen-containing groups. In addition, the sample treated with HNO 3 in the gas phase shows a high rate of release of CO and CO 2 at about 600 ° C., which points in particular to a high proportion of carboxylic anhydride functionalities.
