Purification of single-walled carbon nanotubes.
The discovery of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) created much excitement and stimulated extensive research into the properties of nanometer-scale cylindrical networks. From then on, various methods for the synthesis and characterization of aligned CNTs-both single-walled (SWCNTs) and multi-walled (MWCNTs) by different methods have been hotly pursued. Unfortunately, most methods currently in use produce...
متن کاملSingle - Walled 4 . Single - Walled Carbon Nanotubes
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are hollow, long cylinders with extremely large aspect ratios, made of one atomic sheet of carbon atoms in a honeycomb lattice. They possess extraordinary thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties and are considered as one of the most promising nanomaterials for applications and basic research. This chapter describes the structural, electronic, vibra...
متن کاملControlled multistep purification of single-walled carbon nanotubes.
A controlled and scalable multistep purification method has been developed to remove iron impurity and nonnanotube carbon materials from raw single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) produced in the HiPco (high-pressure CO) process. In this study, iron nanoparticles, coated by carbon, are exposed and oxidized by multiple step oxidation at increasing temperatures. To avoid catalytic oxidation by ir...
متن کاملCutting single-walled carbon nanotubes.
A two-step process is utilized for cutting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). The first step requires the breakage of carbon-carbon bonds in the lattice while the second step is aimed at etching at these damage sites to create short, cut nanotubes. To achieve monodisperse lengths from any cutting strategy requires control of both steps. Room-temperature piranha and ammonium persulfate solu...
متن کاملThermal conductivity of single-walled carbon nanotubes
We have measured the temperature-dependent thermal conductivity k(T) of crystalline ropes of singlewalled carbon nanotubes from 350 K to 8 K. k(T) decreases smoothly with decreasing temperature, and displays linear temperature dependence below 30 K. Comparison with electrical conductivity experiments indicates that the room-temperature thermal conductivity of a single nanotube may be comparable...
