FCCVD is an attractive method for synthesizing high-strength CNT fibers, with the key factors of CNT orientation, length, and inter-tube impurities. By adjusting winding rate and reaction zone length during growth, the assembly structure of CNT fibers can be optimized to achieve stable and continuous synthesis with improved mechanical properties.
Floating catalytic chemical vapor deposition (FCCVD) is an attractive method for synthesizing carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers of high strength, toughness and electrical conductivity. During the process of CNT fibers synthesis, the assembly structure, such as the CNT orientation, CNT length, and the inter-tube particle impurity inside the CNT fibers, are key factors to determine the mechanical properties of CNT fibers. However, the regulation mechanism of the assembly structure during the process of CNT fiber synthesis is still unclear. Herein, in order to obtain high-strength CNT fibers, we demonstrated the synergistic relationship between the orientation and length of CNT inside the CNT fibers during the FCCVD growth process by adjusting the winding rate (5-30 m/min) and the length of the high-temperature reaction zone (660-1060 mm). It also revealed that the particle impurities inside the fibers could greatly reduce mechanical strength of CNT fibers. By optimizing the assembly structure of CNT fibers, the stable and continuous synthesis was realized, with the specific tensile strength of 3.1 N/tex (similar to 3.5 GPa) without any post-treatment process.
