Due to the difficulty in the selective synthesis of semiconductor (s-) and metal (m-) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), we still need to explore the selective extraction technology of s-SWCNTs. Using Poly[9-(1-octylonoyl)-9H-carbazole-2,7-diyl] (PCz) extraction of s-SWCNTs has attracted extensive attention in recent years, because it can selective extraction of large-diameter s-SWCNTs with high purity. However, influence of the molecular weight of this polymer on the s-SWCNTs selective extraction properties remains unclear. In this study, we used PCz with different average molecular weights to study the ability of selective extraction s-SWCNTs from pristine arc discharge carbon nanotubes. Spectra studies indicate that compared to the PCz with lower molecular weight, the PCz with higher molecular weight has better selective extraction ability, and can help to obtain s-SWCNTs with higher purity (>99%) and high yield. FETs devices have been prepared by s-SWCNTs obtained via PCz with higher molecular weight exhibit higher on/off ratio, lower off current and lower subthreshold swing. This work offers a reference of the design and synthesis of PCz polymer that performs sufficient selective ability in extracting s-SWCNTs with promising applications.

Two effective methods for dispersion and alignment of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were developed. One is the floating-potential dielectrophoresis (FPD) method, which can achieve the alignment of individual SWCNTs between two electrodes with high yield (more than 30%) and high repeatability. The second is the gas blow method. Using the shear forces associated with a rapidly moving fluid, SWCNTs were positioned in a direction corresponding to the flow vector of the fluid. This technique shows great potential for scaling up the displacement of SWCNTs with controlled orientations. Various dispersion agents including ethanol, dichlorobenzene, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and DNA were investigated with these two methods. It was found that SDS was the most effective dielectric medium used for FPD dispersion and alignment of SWCNTs. The result of electric measurement for the individual SWCNTs aligned between two electrodes suggests that, using the FPD method, both metallic and semiconducting SWCNTs could be aligned between the electrodes. The individual SWCNT resistances measured range from 20 KΩ to 5 MΩ suggesting a high contact resistance between an aligned SWCNT and metal electrodes. High resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) characterization reveal DNA molecules wrapped around the SWNCTs after the dispersion process which may affect the intrinsic properties of SWCNTs.
