摘要
A combined in situ and post-synthesis gas phase oxidation approach for selective removal of metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes (m-SWCNTs) is reported. The in situ oxidation is performed by introducing a small amount of oxygen during the synthesis of SWCNTs by floating catalyst chemical vapor deposition, and the post-synthesis oxidation is conducted by heat-treating the synthesized SWCNTs in air at 400 C. A combination of characterization techniques shows that m-SWCNTs were selectively removed as a result of their higher reactive activity to oxygen compared to semiconducting SWCNTs, and the diameter distribution of the SWCNTs is narrowed to a range of 1.5-2.0 nm. The mechanism of the combined in situ and post-synthesis oxidation approach is discussed. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
