Effect of Thermal Treatment on the Texture and Structure of Sol-Gel Derived Carbon Nanotube/Silica Composites

Abstract:

The present work studies the structural and textural evolution of sol-gel derived carbon nanotube(CNT)/silica composites during the process of thermal treatment. The composites were prepared by sol-gel technique, and their structural and textural changes were traced by scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectra, infrared spectra, and thermogravimetric analysis. The results show that doped CNTs have an impact on the structural and textural evolution of CNT/silica composites during the process of thermal treatment and the CNT/silica composites exhibit good thermal stability during the heat treatment process. However, the composites are not densified even after treatment at 1000°C, quite different from the thermal behaviors of pure silica xerogel, due to the existing of guest CNTs.
