Abstract

We measured the content of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in SWCNT soot within 3.7% error using UV-VIS-NIR absorption spectroscopy. We also propose a better overall evaluation method by combining thermogravimetic analysis with UV-VIS-NIR absorption spectroscopy to analyze the purity of SWCNT providing the accurate assessment of the amounts of noncarbonaceous impurity, carbonaceous impurity, and SWCNT each with respect to a highly purified reference.
