摘要
A simple, single-column, high-throughput fractionation procedure based on size-exclusion chromatography of aqueous sodium dodecyl sulfate suspensions of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is presented. This procedure is found to yield monochiral or near monochiral SWCNT fractions of semiconducting SWCNTs. Unsorted and resulting monochiral suspensions are characterized using optical absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopy.
