The functionalization of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is a very important step in many applications but it is still a very complex and variable task. This work shows an efficient, easily reproducible and optimal method to introduce oxygenated functional groups to CNTs by treating them for 60′ at 350 °C with a mixture of 2% oxygen in argon. The oxidized nanotubes were characterized through FT-IR, Raman and TGA to verify the quality of the oxidation and the lattice integrity of the treated CNTs. The results demonstrate that the treated nanotubes are not damaged even after introducing a significant number of new groups.

Abstract
The functionalization of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is a very important step in many applications but it is still a very complex and variable task. This work shows an efficient, easily reproducible and optimal method to introduce oxygenated functional groups to CNTs by treating them for 60′ at 350 °C with a mixture of 2% oxygen in argon. The oxidized nanotubes were characterized through FT-IR, Raman and TGA to verify the quality of the oxidation and the lattice integrity of the treated CNTs. The results demonstrate that the treated nanotubes are not damaged even after introducing a significant number of new groups. This methodology could be easily tuned to functionalize other types of graphitic materials.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
