Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] [0001] The present invention relates to a preparation apparatus and a preparation method of a carbon nanotube array. [Prior Art] 1 [0002] ❹ 〇 Nano carbon tube is a new type of Venom material with excellent comprehensive mechanical properties such as elastic modulus, high Young's modulus and low density, and excellent Electrical Properties, Thermal Properties, and Adsorption Properties 奈 Carbon nanotubes can exhibit metallic or semiconducting properties as a function of the carbon nanotube arrangement of the carbon nanotubes. Due to the excellent properties of the carbon nanotubes, it is expected to play an important role in the fields of nanoelectronics, materials science, biology, and chemistry, and the carbon nanotube arrays are neatly arranged due to the arrangement of the carbon nanotubes. To make it more conducive to industrial applications. The method of forming a carbon nanotube array is mainly a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. The chemical vapor deposition method mainly uses a nanometer-scale transition metal or its oxide as a catalyst to pyrolyze a carbon source gas at a certain temperature to prepare a carbon nanotube array. At present, the chemical vapor deposition method generally uses a planar growth substrate, and the planar growth substrate is not limited by the size of the reaction chamber, so that the area of the carbon nanotube array grown thereon is increased. It can't be done very much. [0003] A method for growing a large-sized carbon nanotube film in a large area is disclosed in the publication of the Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 200801 224, issued Jan. 1, 2008. The method is specifically for providing a cylindrical substrate, and depositing a catalyst layer on the outer surface of the substrate; placing the substrate on which the catalyst layer is deposited in a reaction chamber; and introducing a shielding gas into the reaction chamber to make the reaction chamber Maintaining a predetermined pressure; heating the reaction chamber to a predetermined temperature 099102177 Form No. A0101 Page 3 / 18 pages 0992004196-0 201126008 [0004] [0005] [0006] 099102177 degrees; into the reaction chamber into the carbon source gas #, a After a predetermined time, a layer of carbon nanotube film is obtained on the substrate. The patent application uses a cylindrical substrate as a carrier for the growth of a carbon nanotube film, so that a reaction chamber of a certain volume space can accommodate a larger area of the substrate, thereby realizing a large area growth of the carbon nanotube film in a small reaction chamber. However, the above preparation method heats the substrate by heating the reaction chamber. When the carbon nanotube is grown on the surface of the cylindrical substrate, after the surface of the substrate forms a carbon nanotube film, heat is transferred to the carbon nanotube film through the carbon nanotube film. The surface of the substrate, because the carbon nanotubes will absorb a part of the heat, makes the time for heating the catalyst on the substrate longer, so that the speed of pyrolysis of the carbon source gas is slowed down, and finally the speed of growing the carbon nanotubes is slowed down. This phenomenon will become more apparent as the height of the carbon nanotubes grows. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, a method and a preparation method for a carbon nanotube array having a faster heating speed of a substrate and a faster growth rate of a carbon nanotube are provided. A method for preparing a carbon nanotube array, comprising the steps of: providing a cylindrical substrate having a smooth outer surface, a catalyst layer deposited on the outer surface; providing a reaction chamber for depositing a catalyst a cylindrical substrate of the layer is disposed in the reaction chamber; a heating device is provided, the heating device is disposed inside the cylindrical substrate, and the air in the reaction chamber is discharged, and then the heating device is used to heat the cylindrical substrate Up to a predetermined temperature; a source gas is introduced into the reaction chamber to grow on the cylindrical substrate to obtain an array of carbon nanotubes.

Compared with the prior art, the present invention directly places the heating device inside the through hole of the cylindrical substrate, so that the heating device and the grown carbon nanotube array are respectively placed on both sides of the cylindrical substrate. Therefore, the heat conducted by the heating device is not easily absorbed by the grown carbon nanotubes or other medium and can be sufficiently absorbed by the substrate. Therefore, the method can accelerate the heating rate of the substrate and further accelerate the growth rate of the carbon nanotubes. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, a method for preparing a nano tube breaking array and a preparation device according to embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for preparing a carbon nanotube array, which includes the following steps: Step 1: providing a cylindrical substrate 10 having an outer surface 12. 099102177 Form No. A0101 Page 5 / Total 18 Pages 0992004196-0 [0012] [0013] The cylindrical substrate 10 is a hollow cylinder structure having a through hole 16 and a horizontal cross section of the through hole 16 The cross section may be a circle, an ellipse, a triangle, a quadrangle, or other regular or irregular polygons, and the cross section of the entire cylindrical substrate 10 may also be a circle, an ellipse, a triangle, a quadrangle, or other regular or not. The polygon of the rule. The material of the cylindrical substrate 10 is made of a material resistant to high temperatures such as quartz, ceramics, a high temperature resistant glass substrate, tantalum or a metal material. In this embodiment, the cylindrical substrate 10 and the through hole 16 have a circular cross section, and the material thereof is quartz. In order to obtain an ordered array of carbon nanotube arrays 40, the cylindrical substrate 10 is required to have a smooth outer surface 12 which can be obtained by mechanical polishing or electrochemical polishing. Further, referring to FIG. 3, the cylindrical wall of the cylindrical substrate 10 may further include an opening 18, and the specific shape and size of the opening 18 are not limited, and may be specifically selected according to actual needs, and preferably, the opening 18 The size is preferably such that the heating means in the subsequent step of the preparation method can be placed in the through hole 16 of the cylindrical substrate 10. [0014] Step 2, forming a catalyst layer 14 on the outer surface 12 of the cylindrical substrate 10. [0015] The material of the catalyst layer 14 may be iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni) or the like. The oxide layer of the metal may be formed on the outer surface 12 of the cylindrical substrate 10 by thermal deposition, electron beam deposition, evaporation or magnetron sputtering. The thickness of the catalyst layer 14 can be specifically set according to actual needs. In the present embodiment, the thickness thereof is from 1 nm to 10 nm. [0016] This step may further include annealing the catalyst layer 14 such that the catalyst layer 14 forms nano-sized catalyst particles. If the catalyst is a metal, 099102177 Form No. A0101 Page 6 / 18 pages 0992004196-0 201126008 [0018] [0019] [0019] The oxidation process is accompanied by a deuteration reaction to oxidize the metal to a metal oxide. . The size of the particles obtained after the annealing will determine the diameter of the carbon nanotubes to be grown later. Step 3: A reaction chamber 20 is provided, and the cylindrical substrate 10 on which the catalyst layer 14 is formed is placed in the reaction chamber 20. The reaction chamber 20 includes an inlet port 22 and an outlet port 24 respectively disposed at two ends of the reaction chamber 2 . In this embodiment, the reaction chamber is a quartz tube, and the air inlet 22 and the air outlet 24 are located at both ends of the quartz tube. The step further includes providing a support 26 and securing the cylindrical substrate 10 within the reaction chamber 20 through the support. Preferably, the cylindrical substrate 10 is placed in the direction of the axis of the reaction chamber 20, i.e., the direction of the through hole 16 of the cylindrical cavity is along the axis of the reaction chamber 20. This arrangement is such that the reaction from the air inlet 22 causes the anti-money body to be blocked by the cylindrical substrate 10 to a minimum, thereby avoiding a reduction in the growth rate of the carbon nanotubes. At the same time, since the cylindrical substrate 10 has a cylindrical shape, the cylindrical dome 10 can effectively utilize the space of the reaction chamber so that it can accommodate a larger area of the substrate, thereby obtaining A larger area of carbon nanotube array.
