METHOD FOR SEPARATING CARBON NANOTUBES

This invention relates methods and apparatus to separate charged species such as carbon nanotubes by their electrical conductivity. Carbon nanotubes of varying electrical conductivity may be separated by hybridizing the nanotubes with nucleic acids such as DNA and then passing a dispersion of the hy...

More Information
Summary:This invention relates methods and apparatus to separate charged species such as carbon nanotubes by their electrical conductivity. Carbon nanotubes of varying electrical conductivity may be separated by hybridizing the nanotubes with nucleic acids such as DNA and then passing a dispersion of the hybrids through an electrochemical cell with an electrical potential on the working electrode which absorbs or desorbs nanotubes of a desired electrical conductivity.
