摘要:
An apparatus for manufacturing carbon nanohorns includes a production chamber configured to irradiate a solid carbon material with a laser beam to produce a product containing carbon nanohorns; and a separation mechanism configured to separate the product produced in the production chamber into a lightweight component and a heavyweight component. The heavyweight component includes carbon nanohorn aggregate with high purity, and high-purity carbon nanotubes can be obtained by collecting the heavyweight component.

摘要:
In a nanocarbon-producing device (173), a plane mirror (169) and a parabolic mirror (171) are arranged in a production chamber (107). Light, emitted from a laser light source (111), transmitted through a ZnSe window (133) is reflected at the plane mirror (169) and the parabolic mirror (171), collected at the parabolic mirror (171), and then irradiated onto the surface of a graphite rod (101).
摘要:
A plume (109) is generated by irradiating a side face of a graphite rod (101) with a laser beam (103) to vaporize carbon. The vaporized carbon is introduced to a carbon nanohorn recovery chamber (119) through a recovery pipe (155), and the vaporized carbon is recovered as a carbon nanohorn assembly (117). A cooling tank (150) including liquid nitrogen (151) is arranged in the recovery pipe (155). While the cooling tank (150) controls the plume (109) at a low temperature, the cooling tank (150) cools the carbon vapor when the carbon vapor passes through the recovery pipe (155). The cooled carbon vapor is recovered as the carbon nanohorn assembly (117) which is controlled in the desired shape and dimensions.
摘要:
A surface of a graphite target (139), irradiated with a laser beam (103), is formed in a plane. The graphite target (139) is held by a target holding unit (153) on a target supply plate (135). A plate holding unit (137) moves the target supply plate (135) in a translational manner, which allows an irradiation position of the laser beam (103) and the surface of the graphite target (139) to be relatively moved. A transportation pipe (141) communicated with a nanocarbon collecting chamber (119) is provided toward a direction in which a plume (109) is generated, and a generated carbon nanohorn aggregates (117) is collected in the nanocarbon collecting chamber (119).
摘要:
A production method and a production apparatus for stable mass production of nanocarbon are provided. In a production chamber (107), a graphite rod (101) having a cylindrical shape is fixed to a rotation apparatus (115), and is made to be capable of rotating with the length direction of the graphite rod (101) serving as an axis, and also moving to the right or the left in the length direction. The side surface of the graphite rod (101) is irradiated with a laser beam (103) from a laser light source (111), and a nanocarbon collecting chamber (119) is disposed in the direction of generation of plumes (109). On the other hand, the surface irradiated with the laser beam (103) among the side surfaces of the graphite rod (101) is speedily rotated by the rotation apparatus (115) and is flattened by a cutting tool (105). Cut dusts of the graphite rod (101) generated by the cutting tool (105) are collected into a cut graphite collecting chamber (121) and separated from the generated carbon nanohorn aggregates (117).

In a nanocarbon manufacturing apparatus (183), a spray (181) is provided at a side face of a nanocarbon recovery chamber (119), and a mist (195) is sprayed on the entire nanocarbon recovery chamber (119) from the spray (181).
摘要:
Nanocarbon is produced stably in a large amount. In a production chamber (107), a graphite rod (101) having a cylindrical shape is fixed to a rotation apparatus (115) and is made capable of rotating with its axis being in the length direction of the graphite rod (101) and movable to the right or the left in the length direction. A side surface of the graphite rod (101) is irradiated with a laser beam (103) from a laser light source (111). A nanocarbon collecting chamber (119) is disposed in the direction of generation of plumes (109) so as to collect the generated carbon nanohorn aggregates 117.
