Selective dispersion of single-walled carbon nanotubes by a cationic surfactant
Abstract
Three single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), (8,4), (7,5) and (7,6), are significantly enriched via selective dispersion of SWNTs using a cationic surfactant, where the electronic donor–acceptor interaction with the nanotube is assumed to play an important role in the observed selectivity.
