Abstract

Aqueous two-phase extraction (ATPE) is an effective and scalable liquid-phase processing method for purifying single species of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) from multiple species mixtures. Recent metrological developments have led to advances in the speed of identifying solution parameters leading to more efficient ATPE separations with greater fidelities. In this feature article, we review these developments and discuss their vast potential to further advance SWCNT separations science towards the optimization of production scale processes and the full realization of SWCNT-enabled technologies.
