Aqueous two-phase extraction (ATPE) is an effective and scalable liquid-phase processing method for purifying single species of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) from multiple species mixtures. Recent metrological developments have led to advances in the speed of identifying solution parameters leading to more efficient ATPE separations with greater fidelities. In this feature article, we review these developments and discuss their vast potential to further advance SWCNT separations science towards the optimization of production scale processes and the full realization of SWCNT-enabled technologies.
双水相萃取(ATPE)是一种有效且可扩展的液相处理方法,用于从多种混合物中纯化单壁碳纳米管(SWCNT)的单一物种。最近的计量学进展推动了溶液参数识别速度的提高,从而实现了更高效、保真度更高的ATPE分离。在这篇专题文章中,我们回顾了这些进展,并讨论了它们在进一步推动SWCNT分离科学朝着优化生产规模工艺和全面实现基于SWCNT的技术方面的巨大潜力。
