| Abstract: | As-prepared single-walled carbon nanotubes
(SWNTs) are generally mixtures of semiconducting and metallic species, the
proportion of the former being around 67%. Since most applications of SWNTs are
best served by semiconducting or metallic nanotubes, rather than by mixtures of
the two, methods which would directly yield semiconducting and metallic SWNTs
in pure form are desirable. In this article, we present the available methods
for the direct synthesis of such SWNTs along with the methods available to separate
semiconducting and metallic SWNTs from mixtures. We also discuss the synthesis
of Y-junction carbon nanotubes. |
