Resumen:
The effect of nitric/sulfuric acid oxidation treatment on commercial arc-discharge multiwall carbonnanotubes was studied. Purification and structure modifications were assessed via TransmissionElectron Microscopy and Thermogravimetric Analysis; while changes in adsorption properties weremonitored by nitrogen and methane adsorption isotherms. After treatment, nitrogen isotherms present hysteresis loop and an increased BET surface area; while adsorption energies obtained fromisosteric heat profiles revealed a marked decrease. We propose an explanation for these findingsand use macroscopic experimental data to gain insight on acid oxidation effect on the material.
