通过硝酸处理在碳纳米管(CNTs)表面生成了羧基(—COOH)基团,随后采用尿素法在其水悬浮液中原位合成了层状双金属氢氧化物(LDH),获得了层状双金属氢氧化物/碳纳米管复合物(LDH/CNTs),考察了CNTs用量对LDH形貌与结构的影响.结果表明,CNTs的用量对LDH的产率及结构无显著影响;但当CNTs用量较低(〈0.2 g/L)或过高(〉4.0 g/L)时,会导致LDH的粒径分布变宽.对LDH/CNTs进行氯化及有机化处理,获得了十二烷基苯磺酸根离子(DBS)插层的DBS-LDH/CNTs.对DBS-LDH/CNTs在不同有机溶剂中分散及剥离程度的研究发现,DBS-LDH/CNTs在丁醇、乙醇及二甲苯中均可良好分散且其悬浮液较稳定,LDH在不同溶剂中的剥离程度为丁醇〉乙醇〉二甲苯〉四氢呋喃.
Layered double hydroxide(LDH)/carbon nanotubes(CNTs) composites were prepared by urea method in the aqueous suspension of CNTs.Effect of CNTs concentration on the morphologies and structures of LDH/CNTs composites was investigated in detail.The results showed that in the case of low(0.2 g/L) or very high(4.0 g/L) CNTs concentration,there was a fairly wide size distribution for the LDH particles in LDH/CNTs while distributes uniformly relatively in the region of 0.2—4.0 g/L.The introduction of CNTs has a little influence on the size and structure of LDH crystals.By means of decarbonation treatment and further ion-exchange using surfactant sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate(SDBS),the LDH/CNTs composites with interlayer anion of dodecylbenzene sulfo-group(DBS-LDH/CNTs) were obtained.Then the DBS-LDH/CNTs composites were dispersed in several organic solvents,respectively.The results revealed that the suspension of DBS-LDH/CNTs in 1-butanol,ethanol and xylene kept stable in a long duration while sedimentated quickly in tetrahydrofuran.In addition,the delamination extent for LDH in these solvents ranked as follows: 1-butanol ethanolxylenetetrahydrofuran.
