Nitric Acid Purification of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
Abstract
We report a systematic evaluation of the use of refluxing nitric acid as a purification treatment for electric arc-produced single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), by using a combination of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. Nitric acid is the standard reagent for purification of SWNTs and has traditionally constituted the first step in many different purification schemes. It has been suggested that nitric acid removes the transition metal catalyst that is used in the production of the SWNTs together with amorphous carbon. Under all conditions, we find that nitric acid destroys SWNTs to produce amorphous carbon while reducing the amount of transition metal catalyst remaining in the sample. Thus, nitric acid is suitable for removing the catalyst from SWNT samples, but only at the expense of a significant destruction of the SWNTs.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
