Evaluation of Residual Iron in Carbon Nanotubes Purified by Air and Acid Treatments

Abstract:

A detailed analysis by thermogravimetric analysis was carried out on multiwalled carbon nanotubes after air and acid treatment. When MWCNTs are treated in air at 300 oC for 2 h and then refluxed with 6 mol/L HCl solution, the weight percent of residual iron is near zero. The result can also be verified by the contrast of SEM photographs of untreated and treated MWCNTs.
