Conductive carbon black is an important carbon material with excellent conductivity and energy storage performance. It is widely used in electronics, energy, materials and other fields.
1. Preparation method of conductive carbon black
Preparation of conductive carbon black by flame method
The flame method is one of the common methods for preparing conductive carbon black. This method adds a suitable carbon source, such as methane, propane, etc., to the flame to burn the carbon source to generate carbon black particles. At the same time, catalysts and control agents are added during the combustion process to adjust the morphology and conductive properties of carbon black. The flame method for preparing conductive carbon is simple and efficient.
Chemical vapor deposition (CVD)
Chemical vapor deposition is another important method for preparing conductive carbon black. This method usually uses a liquid carbon source or a gaseous carbon source, and through a gas phase reaction, carbon atoms are deposited on the surface of the substrate under the action of a catalyst to form a carbon black film. The conductive black film prepared by the CVD method has the advantages of good uniformity and controllable film thickness.
Preparation of conductive carbon black by hydrothermal method
The hydrothermal method is a simple and environmentally friendly method for preparing conductive carbon. This method dissolves the carbon source and the catalyst in an aqueous solution, and then performs a hydrothermal reaction under high temperature and high pressure to generate conductive speciality carbon black. The conductive carbon particles prepared by the hydrothermal method are uniform in size, and the conductive properties can be adjusted by controlling the reaction conditions.
Preparation of conductive carbon black by laser sintering
Laser sintering is a new method for preparing conductive black. This method uses a laser beam to directly irradiate the carbon source, so that it can be quickly sintered into conductive carbon black. The laser sintering method can prepare high-quality conductive pigment carbon black materials in a relatively short time.
