Abstract:
A new single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) purification procedure has been developed; it consists in a combination of air treatment and acid microwave digestion leading to a high purity SWCNTs material; the procedure reaches high metal removal percentages and the operation time is drastically reduced compared to conventional acid reflux treatments.
