Chromatographic purification and properties of soluble single-walled carbon nanotubes
We report an improved chromatographic Purification of soluble single-walled carbon nanotubes (s-SWNTs) using gel permeation chromatography. Three fractions are separated by gel permeation chromatography, and the first fraction contains 74% of the s-SWNTs as detected by atomic force microscopy and UV and near-infrared spectroscopy.
