Siamak Hashemipour

after separation CNT wash it with NaOH solution ( .1 M ) and then with DI water.

Błażej Scheibe

It is easier to use centrifugation or filtration methods.

In case of NaOH, all humic acids and oxidized carbon impurities will be detached from MWCNTs surface which is additional purification effect. However, oxygen functionalities have to be regenerated via 0.1M HCl treatment.
