SWCNTsのカイラリティー分離：片浦・田中のゲルクロマト法

The Kataura–Tanaka gel chromatography method for chirality sorting of SWCNTs

Abstract: We highlight a gel column chromatography technique by Kataura, Tanaka, et al. at AIST enabling separation of single-wall carbon nanotubes by chirality. The protocol utilizes surfactant-coated nanotubes and dextran gel, achieving single-chirality fractions with high purity. We discuss the procedure, selective adsorption mechanism, required equi…
