A New Method of Carbon‐Nanotube Patterning Using Reduction Potentials

Noble metals promote the oxidation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) at the relatively low temperature of 350 °C. The reduction potential of multiwalled CNTs is located between those of W and Ni, while that of single-walled CNTs is between those of Ni and In. Nanometer-sized patterns on CNT films were successfully fabricated using differences in reduction potential between the CNTs and noble metals.
