The invention discloses a catalyst for
carbon nanotube as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and the method for preparing the catalyst for the
carbon nanotube comprises the following steps: mixing an
active component with an auxiliary component to obtain a
mixed solution; mixing and coprecipitating the
mixed solution and a precipitant, and then carrying out
solid-liquid separation and
drying to obtain a catalyst precursor;
roasting the catalyst precursor, wherein mixing the
active component with the auxiliary agent component and an
alcohol or / and mixing the catalyst precursor with the
alcohol in advance before
roasting the catalyst precursor for size mixing, and
roasting to obtain the catalyst for the
carbon nanotube. The catalyst for the carbon
nanotube prepared by adopting the method is relatively high in particle
crystallinity, relatively uniform in particle size, relatively large in size and relatively small in specific surface area, the black fluffy carbon
nanotube with good
dispersity can be obtained when the catalyst is used for preparing the carbon
nanotube, the carbon nanotube is used for preparing
conductive paste, the two requirements of relatively low
viscosity and high conductive effect can be met at the same time, and the cost is saved.
