Abstracts

Purification process to obtain nanotubes out of the cathode product mostly including fragments of graphitic sheet and/or amorphous carbon has been established. Structures and electronic properties of carbon nanotubes were studied. By the Raman scattering measurement, only one peak at 1581 cm−1 akin to that of graphite was found out. It was confirmed by STM observation of purified nanotubes. Purified nanotubes was semiconductor or semimetal.
