Large-scale separation of metallic and semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes.

چکیده
In the applications of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), it is extremely important to separate semiconducting and metallic SWNTs. Although several methods have been reported for the separation, only low yields have been achieved at great expense. We show a separation method involving a dispersion-centrifugation process in a tetrahydrofuran solution of amine, which makes metallic SWNTs highly concentrated to 87% in a simple way.

Single-walled carbon nanotube networks for flexible and printed electronics
Networks of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) can be processed from solution and have excellent mechanical properties. They are highly flexible and stretchable. Depending on the type of nanotubes (semiconducting or metallic) they can be used as replacements for metal or transparent conductive oxide electrodes or as semiconducting layers for field-effect transistors (FETs) with high carrier...
متن کاملMagnetic nanoparticle-based separation of metallic and semiconducting carbon nanotubes.
We report a simple and scalable method for the separation of semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) from metallic SWNTs using magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) functionalized with polycationic tri-aminated polysorbate 80 (TP80). MNPs-TP80 are selectively adsorbed on acid-treated semiconducting SWNTs, which makes the semiconducting SWNTs be highly concentrated to over 95% under a magn...
متن کاملTheoretical insights into the encapsulation of anticancer Oxaliplatin drug into single walled carbon nanotubes
The present work was an attempt to evaluate the potentialities of using SWCNTs as nanovectors for drug delivery of anticancer drug Oxaliplatin. First-principles van der Waals density functional (vdW-DF) calculations are used to investigate the incorporation of oxaliplatin inside the typical semiconducting and metallic single wall carbon nanotubes with various diameters (SWCNTs). Adsorption ener...
متن کاملGel electrophoresis using a selective radical for the separation of single-walled carbon nanotubes.
We have applied agarose gel electrophoresis (AGE) to single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) that have been pre-reacted with metallic-selective ionic radicals and then re-suspended with sodium cholate (SC) surfactant to obtain highly purified (up to 98%) semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (s-SWNTs). The proposed combination method exploits the preferential reactivity with the metallic...
متن کاملUnusually large Franz-Keldysh oscillations at ultraviolet wavelengths in single-walled carbon nanotubes.
We report large electroabsorption susceptibilities in the ultraviolet region for single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) supported on quartz that are approximately 10;{3} larger than the highest values reported to date for any system. The oscillatory behavior is described using a convolution of Airy functions in photon energy ascribing the effect to Franz-Keldysh oscillations. The metallic and se...
