We report a rapid and scalable method for the separation of metallic and semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs); the separation is performed by the selective adsorption of semiconducting SWCNTs on agarose gel. The most effective separation was realized by a simple procedure in which a piece of gel containing SWCNTs and sodium dodecyl sulfate was frozen, thawed, and squeezed. This process affords a solution containing 70% pure metallic SWCNTs and leaves a gel containing 95% pure semiconducting SWCNTs. Field-effect transistors constructed from the separated semiconducting SWCNTs have been demonstrated to function without any electrical breakdown.
我们报道了一种快速且可扩展的方法,用于分离金属性和半导体性单壁碳纳米管(SWCNTs);该分离是通过半导体性SWCNTs在琼脂糖凝胶上的选择性吸附来进行的。最有效的分离是通过一个简单的程序实现的,即将一块含有SWCNTs和十二烷基硫酸钠的凝胶冷冻、解冻并挤压。这个过程得到一种含有70%纯金属性SWCNTs的溶液,同时留下一种含有95%纯半导体性SWCNTs的凝胶。由分离出的半导体性SWCNTs构建的场效应晶体管已被证明能正常工作而不会发生任何电击穿。
