Mono and di-hydroxyl dibenzo-14-Crown-4 ethers were covalently attached on carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The SWCNTs was sonicated in acid to produce carboxylated SWCNTs (SWCNTs-COOH). Further functionalization of SWCNTs-COOH with diglycidyl ethers formed epoxidized SWCNTs (SWCNTs-Ep). Covalently attached mono and di-hydroxyl dibenzo-14-Crown-4 ethers (SWCNTs-DB14C4) were produced by ring opening of the epoxide groups. The SWCNTs-DB14C4 was tested for lithium ion recovery in water. The degree of carboxylation in SWCNTs-COOH was confirmed by the formation of dodecylamine zwitterions. SWCNTS-Ep and SWCNTs-DB14C4 were characterized by FTIR, TGA, elemental analysis, solid state NMR, and TEM analysis.
