A comprehensive scenario for commonly used purification procedures of arc-discharge as-produced single-walled carbon nanotubes

Résumé

The purification of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) samples was analysed using a multi-technique approach, with structural as well as spectroscopic probes, in order to characterize the samples and to identify important factors for improvement of SWCNT sample quality. The first dry oxidation step (air at 365 degrees C) is shown to have only a weak selectivity for the removal of the amorphous carbon or weakly organized graphitic species as well as resulting in a partial consumption of the SWCNTs. The functionalization of the SWCNTs is highly specific with formation of carboxyl, hydroxyl and carbonyl groups. On the other hand this oxidation step is highly efficient for the oxidation of the catalytic impurities (Ni, Y) which can be easily removed by subsequent acid treatment. A final high temperature treatment indicates some incomplete restoration of the quality of the SWCNT surface. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
