NanotechnologyV 1505 Nitric Acid Purification of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes. — A systematic

study of the use of refluxing HNO3 for the purification of single-walled carbon nano-tubes (SWNTs) reveals that HNO3 is suitable for removing the catalyst from the sam-ples, but only at the expense of a significant destruction of the SWNTs. — (HU, H.; ZHAO, B.; ITKIS, M.
