Abstract
Carbon nanotubes were purified by use of electrical chemistry oxidation met hod. In the view of polarization curves it was discussed that electrochemis try method could be used in the purification of carbon nanotubus. The influ ence of current density, sulfuric acid concentration and reaction time on t he reaction was studied, the optimum experimental condition was obtained an d the mechanism of purification was also discussed.
