In the present study, we report systematic investigation of effect chemical oxidation on structure single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) by using different oxidants. The procedure was characterized infrared spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). SWNTs were produced vapor deposition (CVD) oxidized with three kinds oxidants: (1) nitric acid (2.6 M), (2) a mixture concentrated sulfuric (98 wt %) (16 M) (v/v = 3/1) (3) KMnO4. results reveal that functional groups can be...
Abstract Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) represents a very powerful tool for the identification of molecular species, but unfortunately it has been essentially restricted to noble metal supports (Au, Ag and Cu).
