Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) of the conic and cylindrical structure were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy in the initial state and after carboxylation and decarboxylation reactions. The O=C—O and C—O groups were revealed on the surface of the chemically modified samples. It was found that both the carboxylated and decarboxylated cylindrical CNTs contain a smaller amount of oxygen than the corresponding conic CNTs apparently due to differences in their structures.
