研究目的
The synthesis of CNTs/ZnS quantum dot composites using a combination of surface modification of carbon nanotubes using Carboxyl, Chlorine and Amine functional groups, hydrothermal synthesis of QDs, and electrophoretic deposition process.
研究成果
The surface-modified CNTs showed much higher deposition yields than unmodified CNTs, with Carboxyl-modified CNTs demonstrating the best performance. However, the synthesized CNT/ZnS QD composite demonstrated lower deposition weight than modified CNTs due to the decrease of electrical conductivity. Agglomerated ZnS QDs were attached on the surface of Carboxyl-modified CNTs appropriately.
研究不足
The study notes that the attachment of ZnS QDs decreased the deposition weight of CNTs, indicating a limitation in maintaining deposition efficiency post-attachment. The chemical modification routes may also disturb the structural homogeneity of the CNTs, potentially affecting their mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved surface modification of CNTs, synthesis of ZnS QDs, and their attachment to CNTs via electrophoretic deposition.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were used, modified with Carboxyl, Chlorine, and Amine functional groups. ZnS QDs were synthesized hydrothermally.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
MWCNTs, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, thionyl chloride, tetrahydrofuran, zinc acetate, 3-mercaptopropionic acid, and polyvinyl pyrrolidone were used. Equipment included ultrasonic bath, SEM, TEM, and FTIR spectrometer.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
CNTs were chemically modified, ZnS QDs were synthesized and attached to CNTs, followed by electrophoretic deposition on Al electrodes.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Microstructure was analyzed using SEM and TEM; chemical composition was studied using FTIR spectroscopy.
