Background Fig.1 Schematic of the process from graphene to CNTs Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have been regarded as one of the best candidates for future application in next generation integrated circuits due to their unique structures and superb properties: 1)High strength; 2)Excellent electrical properties ; 3)Absorbtion band (infrared wavelengths ).

Type Ⅱ :E 33 transitions( ∼ 550- 650 nm) of S-nanotubes( ∼ 1.5- 1.7 nm). Type Ⅲ :E 33 electronic transitions ( ∼ 400-500 nm) of S-nanotubes( ∼ 1.2-1.4 nm) Fig.8 Absorbance spectra and Raman spectra Jinyong Wang, and Yan Li, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2009

Surfactant and CNTs Fig.9 Band structure of S- and M-CNTs Due to the modification, electrons should transfer from the SWCNTs to the surfactants, thus resulted in the positive charging of SWCNTs. It can be clearly seen that shift of the Fermi energy and the band structure occur as a result of charge transfer. Jinyong Wang, and Yan Li, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2009

Surfactant and CNTs Fig.10 Possible interaction mechanism The possible interaction mechanism: Because of the large positive charge density of the cations, the high-energy electrons of the SWCNTs near the Fermi level transfer to the lowest unoccupied orbitals of the cations. A stable “cation-π” complex is formed at the nanotube surface. Jinyong Wang, and Yan Li, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2009

Conclusion In order to get a perfect array only made by s-CNTs, we have made great effort to sorting out the s-CNTs from to the CNTs mixture by their difference, especially the density of state. However, these methods still retain some problems: 1) Sorting out the s-CNTs in the solution will bring about a great question, making an array is difficult; 2) Sorting out the s-CNTs on the substrate will lead to a low product of s-CNTs to hard to be an array; 3) A good method to separate the s-CNTs with the m-CNTs also lead to defect on the CNTs and hard to get a pure CNTs.
