Tunable Separation of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes by Dual-Surfactant Density Gradient Ultracentrifugation
We present a systematic study of the effects of surfactants in the separation of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) by density gradient ultracentrifugation (DGU). Through analysis of the buoyant densities, layer positions, and optical absorbance spectra of SWNT separation using the bile salt sodium deoxycholate (DOC) and the anionic salt sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), we clarify the roles an...
متن کاملControllable Expansion of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Dispersions Using Density Gradient Ultracentrifugation
We present a protocol to selectively isolate single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with different chiralities in a full-colored " rainbow " expansion using density gradient ultracentrifugation (DGU). Starting with SWNTs synthesized by the alcohol catalytic chemical vapor deposition (ACCVD) method, we used sodium deoxycholate (DOC) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as co-surfactant encapsulating...
متن کاملSelective Isolation of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Chiralities Using Density Gradient Ultracentrifugation
We present a protocol to selectively isolate single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) using density gradient ultracentrifugation (DGU)[1]. Starting with SWNTs synthesized by the alcohol catalytic chemical vapor deposition (ACCVD) method and using sodium deoxycholate (DOC) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as co-surfactant encapsulating agents[2] we achieved isolation of SWNTs with different proper...
متن کاملDispersion 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 کاملChirality-dependent densities of carbon nanotubes by in situ 2D fluorescence-excitation and Raman characterisation in a density gradient after ultracentrifugation.
Density gradient ultracentrifugation (DGU) becomes increasingly important for the sorting of nanomaterials according to the particles' density, hence structure and dimensions, which determine their unique properties, but the further development of this separation technique is hindered by the limited precision with which the densities could be characterized. In this work, we determine these dens...
