Provided is a method for uniform dispersion of single-wall carbon nanotubes, comprising: (1) dispersing single-wall carbon nanotube powder in a low-boiling point alcohol or water or DMF, then placing into a UV bench for ultraviolet irradiation and oxidation; (2) after cleaning the carbon nanotubes in the UV bench, using a strong acid to carry out an oxidation reaction, then washing by centrifugation; (3) after cleaning with strong acid, subjecting the single-wall carbon nanotubes to ethanol or water ultrasonic dispersion 2-3 times, washing by centrifugation, then dissolving in low-boiling point alcohol or water or DMF solution to obtain a single-wall carbon nanotube dispersion. By means of the present method, the entire surface of a carbon nanotube is grafted with a functionalized group, achieving solubility of single-wall carbon nanotubes; further, high-performance carbon nanotube composite flexible transparent electrode materials can be prepared, which have high transmittance and low sheet resistance.

Method for uniform dispersion of single-wall carbon nanotubes

Provided is a method for improving single-wall carbon nanotube dispersion, comprising the following steps: (1) using ultrasonic waves to disperse single-wall carbon nanotube powder in a lipid solvent, and allowing to stand for 2-3 days for swelling and centrifuging; (2) successively washing by centrifugation with low-boiling point alcohol solvent and water, then drying; (3) adding the dried single-wall carbon nanotubes to a strongly oxidative acid solution for oxidation, and centrifuging; (4) washing by centrifugation with water to a centrate of pH7, then dissolving the single-wall carbon nanotubes in water or alcohol solvent. Upon processing by the described method, recovery of single-wall carbon nanotubes is around 80% or higher, and the single-wall carbon nanotube solution is highly concentrated; the absorbance value of the carbon nanotube dispersion can be reduced to approximately 1600, and the invention can be used for preparation of flexible transparent electrode materials.
