A New Purification Way for Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes

Abstract:

A new purification procedure was used for the purification of multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNTs) based on nitric acid oxidation. Using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) to characterize the morphologies of MWCNTs oxidized under various conditions. The TGA provided clear evidence for the presence of carboxylic groups (COOH) attached to the surface of MWCNTs resulting from the acid treatment.
