METHOD FOR CUTTING CARBON NANOTUBE, CARBON NANOTUBE SLICE AND DISPERSION LIQUID OF CARBON NANOTUBE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for cutting a carbon nanotube, in which carbon nanotube slices can be obtained by simply cutting the carbon nanotube of a solid state as it is in one stage without carrying out a dispersion step and to provide carbon nanotube slices obtained by the cutting method and a dispersion liquid of the carbon nanotube. SOLUTION: The method for cutting the carbon nanotube is characterized in that a voltage is applied to a carbon nanotube electrode immersed in an electrolytic solution, thereby the carbon nanotube contained in the carbon nanotube electrode is electrochemically oxidized, so that the carbon nanotube is cut off.
