Title:
METHOD FOR PURIFYING CARBON-NANOTUBE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2522469
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PURPOSE: To obtain a carbon.nanotube having a uniform molecular weight and size by dispersing a crude product containing the carbon.nanotube in a liquid with ultrasonic waves, passing the resultant dispersion through a chromatographic column and separating the carbon.nanotube.
CONSTITUTION: A crude product containing a carbon.nanotube is dispersed in a liquid with ultrasonic waves. When a surfactant is added, the dispersion state is improved and preferred for preventing the condensation. The dispersion is further passed through a chromatographic column to separate carbonaceous substances other than the nanotube and nanoparticles. Thereby, the carbon.nanotube is separated by a difference in developing speed in the column. The nanotube uniform in regard to electric conductivity can be obtained by electrostatic separation.
