Figure 2

Raman spectra of carboxylated MWCNT-2 and MWCNT-30.

Notes: D-band (~1,350 cm−1) was found along with the characteristic G-band (~1,580 cm−1). Both MWCNTs also exhibited at a higher frequency shoulder to the G-band (known as the D′ band ~1,620 cm−1) suggesting high defect densities in MWCNTs. The ratio of D- to G-band areas (ID/IG) was 0.97 and 1.37 for MWCNT-2 and MWCNT-30, respectively, indicating that MWCNT-30 samples contain more defects.

Abbreviation: MWCNT, multiwalled carbon nanotube.
