Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) synthesized by catalytic decomposition of an alcohol were purified by extraction. The purified SWNTs were characterized on the basis of visible-near infrared (vis-NIR) absorption, photoluminescence and Raman spectroscopic analyses, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation, and thermal analysis. Selective extraction of metallic nanotubes was also achieved by the extraction condition.
