Semiconductive Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes (semiconductive SWCNTs) are a unique subset of carbon nanotube materials, distinguished by their one-dimensional cylindrical structure formed by rolling a single layer of graphene into a tube with a diameter typically ranging from 0.6 nm to 2 nm. Unlike metallic SWCNTs, semiconductive SWCNTs exhibit direct bandgap properties, which make them indispensable in the development of next-generation optoelectronic and electronic devices. The NanoIntegris semiconductive SWCNTs 99.9% Thick Film is a high-performance functional film product manufactured using advanced purification and film-forming technologies, with a semiconductive SWCNT purity of up to 99.9%—a critical threshold for minimizing performance interference from metallic impurities in device applications.
In recent decades, the demand for high-purity semiconductive SWCNTs has surged with the rapid development of flexible electronics, transparent displays, and high-speed integrated circuits. Traditional SWCNT materials often suffer from issues such as low semiconductive purity (usually below 95%), uneven dispersion in films, and poor batch consistency, which limit their practical application in high-end devices. The 99.9% purity level of this product addresses these pain points: it is achieved through multiple rounds of polymer-based sorting and centrifugal purification (referenced from advanced purification technologies in academic research), ensuring that the content of metallic SWCNTs is reduced to near-negligible levels. This not only enhances the stability of the film’s electrical and optical properties but also lays a solid foundation for the mass production of high-performance carbon nanotube-based devices.
