Spontaneous Dissolution of a Single-Wall Carbon Nanotube Salt

Spontaneous Dissolution of a Single-Wall Carbon Nanotube Salt

Upon reduction with alkali metals, single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTS) are shown to form polyelectrolyte salts that are soluble in polar organic solvents without any sonication, use of surfactants, or functionalization whatsoever, thus forming true thermodynamically stable solutions of naked SWNTs.
