Dispersion of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes by Density Gradient Ultracentrifugation
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have been of interest for their unique material properties. Their high thermal and electrical conductivity, metallic or semiconducting nature, as well as chemically stable structure make them ideal for numerous applications. However, development of potential applications has been limited due to the inability to consistently separate SWNTs by chirality, dia...
متن کاملOptimization Conditions for Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Dispersion
The sonication-driven dispersion of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in aqueous surfactant solution has been monitored by UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Dispersion of SWCNTs experiments reveal that the maximum concentration of dispersed SWCNTs corresponds to the maximum UV-vis-NIR absorbance of the solution. With higher surfactant concentration the dispersion r...
متن کاملDispersion of single-walled carbon nanotubes of narrow diameter distribution.
The dispersibility and bundle defoliation of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) of small diameter (<1 nm) have been evaluated on CoMoCAT samples with narrow distribution of diameters. As previously observed by photoluminescence and Raman spectroscopy, the CoMoCAT sample exhibits a uniquely narrow distribution of (n,m) structures that remains unchanged after different dispersion conditions. ...
متن کاملSpectroscopy of single-walled carbon nanotubes in aqueous surfactant dispersion
Optical studies of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) dispersed in aqueous surfactant suspensions have made significant progress since the discovery of their bright band-gap fluorescence in the near-infrared region [1]. In this article we report the systematic investigation of the effect of chemical purification and oxidation on the spectroscopic properties of SWNTs. The SWNTs samples we pr...
متن کاملDispersion and separation of small-diameter single-walled carbon nanotubes.
The dispersion of small-diameter single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) produced by the CoMoCAT method in tetrahydrofuran (THF) with the use of amine was studied. The absorption, photoluminescence, and Raman spectroscopies showed that the dispersion and centrifugation process leads to an effective separation of metallic SWNTs from semiconducting SWNTs. Since this method is simple and convenient...
