Abstract:

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) was cut by a mixture of concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated nitric acid. The resulting cut SWNTs was converted to acid chloride and then reduced by lithium aluminum hydride. The product was characterized with Raman spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, and XPS.

Key words: Single-walled Carbon Naootubes, Chemical modification, Reduction
