TL;DR: In this article, the authors used simple high speed shear force mixing (SFM) to disperse nearly monochiral (6,5) SWCNTs with poly[(9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl)- alt - co-co-(6,6′-{2,2′-bipyridine})] (PFO-BPy) with high yield and in large volumes.

Separation of single-walled carbon nanotubes by 1-dodecanol-mediated size-exclusion chromatography.
TL;DR: A simple, single-column, high-throughput fractionation procedure based on size-exclusion chromatography of aqueous sodium dodecyl sulfate suspensions of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is presented and is found to yield monochiral or nearmonochiral SWCNT fractions of semiconducting SWC NTs.

Separation of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes with a Gel Permeation Chromatography System
TL;DR: A gel permeation chromatography system is used to separate aqueous sodium dodecyl sulfate suspensions of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and monochiral SWCNT fractions of semiconducting SWC NTs with a purity of 61-95%.

Double‐Walled Carbon Nanotube Processing
TL;DR: There is now an emerging field of research regarding DWCNT processing that focuses on the preparation of material of defined length, diameter and electronic type, and which is rapidly building upon the experience gained by the broader SWCNT community.

Carbon Nanotubes for Photovoltaics: From Lab to Industry
Laura Wieland,Laura Wieland,Han Li,Christian Rust,Christian Rust,Jianhui Chen,Jianhui Chen,Benjamin S. Flavel +7 more
TL;DR: The use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in photovoltaics could have significant ramifications on the commercial solar cell market as discussed by the authors, and three interrelated research directions within the field are crucial to the ultimate success of this endeavor; 1) separation, purification, and enrichment of CNTs followed by 2) their integration into organic solar cells as a photosensitive element or 3) in silicon panels as a hole selective contact.
