22、a sample Note 1 to entry: Purity indicator is NOT “purity” itself which is defined as the percentage of mass of SWCNTs to the total mass of the sample. This guideline cannot evaluate this general purity because absorption spectroscopy cannot detect metallic impurities that are generally contained in

23、 any SWCNT sample. In order to characterize metal impurity content, there is a different Technical Specification on thermogravimetric analysis. Metallic impurity is defined as catalytic metal particle and does not include metallic carbon nanotube. See ISO TS 11308. 3.1.2 ratio of metallic SWCNTs opt

26、Principle 4.1 General All SWCNT samples contain both semiconducting and metallic SWCNTs, together with impurities consisting of carbon and other elements unless the samples have been altered after production. UV- Vis-NIR absorption spectroscopy can be used for the measurement of interband optical tr

27、ansitions specific to SWCNTs. The analysis of these optical transitions provides qualitative and semiquantitative information important for the characterization of SWCNT samples, such as mean diameter, purity, and the ratio of metallic SWCNTs to the total SWCNT content. 4.2 UV-Vis-NIR absorption spe

28、ctroscopy The intensity of light passing at a specified wavelength, , through a specimen (I) is measured and it is compared to the intensity of light before it passes through the specimen (I 0 ). The ratio I/I 0is called a transmittance. The absorbance, A, is expressed as log (I/I 0 ). The plot of t

29、he absorbance against wavelength for a particular compound is referred to as an absorption spectrum. NOTE The relationship between transmittance and absorbance is only rigorously correct when reflectance is negligible and there is no scattering. 4.3 Optical absorption peaks of SWCNTs in the UV-Vis-N

30、IR region The shape of the electronic DOS of semiconducting and metallic SWCNTs shown in Figure 1 is a series of spikes that are referred to as VHS. The peaks observed in the optical absorption spectra of SWCNTs are attributed to the electronic transitions between these VHSs as shown by arrows in Fi

Figure 1 Electronic DOS diagram of SWCNTs near the Fermi level To interpret the absorption spectra of SWCNTs, band

34、structures calculated using the zone-folding method are frequently used. The electronic structure of an SWCNT is generally given by that of a two- dimensional graphite sheet expressed by the tight binding approximation as shown in Formula (1) 2 : (1) whereE is the two dimensional energy dispersion r

35、elation for a single graphene sheet;a is the lattice parameter 3 ;k x and k y are the components of the reciprocal unit vector; is the overlap integral. ISO 2017 All rights reserved 3 ISO/TS 10868:2017(E) 4.4 Relation between SWCNT diameter and optical absorption peaks Within a simple tight-binding

36、theory, in which the electronic band structure is assumed to arise from a pure p-orbital at each conjugated carbon atom, the low-energy band gap transitions take a simple analytical form. The energy gaps corresponding to the electron transitions are given by Formula (2) to Formula (4): (2) (3) (4) w

37、here E g (S 11 ), E g (S 22 ), E g (M 11 ) are the energy gaps corresponding to the transitions of S 11 , S 22and M 11 , respectively; d is the diameter of SWCNTs 4 . Formula (2) to Formula (4) show a simple relationship between the diameter and the optical transition energies (and thus the peak wav

38、elengths). This allows the estimation of the mean diameter of a SWCNT sample by the analysis of the absorption spectra originating from the optical transitions between VHSs. Formula (2) to Formula (4) can give information related to the diameter within some limitations. One of the limitations is tha

39、t the analysed peak(s) needs to be clearly resolved. 4.5 Derivation of the purity indicator from optical absorption peak areas As mentioned in 4.3, there are the specific absorptions of SWCNTs originating from interband transition between VHSs. These absorption peaks are typically observed in the Vi

40、s-NIR region. On the other hand, in the UV region, most SWCNT samples present optical absorption with the peak at 200 nm to 300 nm 5 . This absorption is attributed to the collective excitations of electron systems ( -plasmons) and can also be observed in most graphitic compounds 5 . Therefore, the

41、-plasmon absorption observed in most SWCNT samples is due to both SWCNTs and carbonaceous impurities. The -plasmon absorption is extremely broad and is superposed on the above-mentioned specific absorption of SWCNTs as a featureless background extending to the Vis-NIR and IR region. To summarize, th

42、e absorption spectrum of SWCNT samples in the Vis-NIR region is composed of the interband transitions of semiconducting and metallic SWCNTs and -plasmon absorbance (see Figure 2).4 ISO 2017 All rights reserved ISO/TS 10868:2017(E) Key X photon energy (eV) Y absorbance (absorbance unit) NOTE The rela

43、tive contribution from each component is arbitrary and also has differing chiral angle distributions. Figure 2 Typical UV-Vis-NIR absorption spectrum of an SWCNT sample 6 In Figure 2, the absorption from S nnand M 11gives rise to the absorption peak areas, AA(S nn ) and AA(M 11 ), and that of -plasm

44、on as AA( ). In addition, the total absorption AA(S nn )+ AA() or AA(M 11 )+AA( ) is designated as AA t (see Annex B). As long as samples of concern have similar mean diameters and diameter distributions, the relative magnitude of AA(S nn ) or AA(M 11 ) to AA tcan be used as an indicator of purity,

45、P i (S nn ) or P i (M 11 ) 78 , which is given by Formula 5: (5) Formula 5 gives information related to purity within some limitations. One of the limitations is that the analysed peak(s) needs to be clearly resolved. Another is that samples need to have almost similar mean diameters and distributio

46、ns as determined by the locations of the peak positions. NOTE Surfactants and/or dispersing agents could also add complexity to the spectra.

47、f 4.5, an analysis of the area under the peak for semiconducting and metallic SWCNTs provides an indicator of the ratio of metallic SWCNTs to the total SWCNTs, which is given by Formula (6): (6) Furthermore, Formula (6) can be converted into Formula (7) for R Metalas the function of AA(S 22 ) and AA

48、(M 11 ): (7) Use of Formula (7) is frequently more favourable than use of Formula (6) because AA(S 11 ) is sensitive to the charge transfer 9 . R Metaldoes not literally represent the ratio of metallic SWCNTs, because integrated molar extinction coefficients in the M 11and S 11regions (or their relative magnitude) are not completely clarified. In the case of the SWCNT sample with the diameter distribution of 1,1 nm to 1,3 nm, Formula (6) and Formula (7) provid
