Book Chapter Description

Double walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) comprise two coaxially nested single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and the difference between the diameter of two tubes in DWCNTs provides variation on the interaction between the two nanotubes. In that context, the modification is made on the outer layer nanotube by shielding the inner tube from the chemical reactions. This exceptional structure of DWCNTs provides unique optical, electrical, and mechanical properties that extend their application in various fields of research and industry. Owing to the presence of two nanotube walls and its complex inter wall interactions opens a new window to utilize the properties in various fields including batteries, capacitors, solar cells, microelectronics, drug delivery, cancer treatment, neuronal interfaces, and sensing applications. This chapter provides an insight on the current technologies for DWCNT synthesis and sorting methods and discusses the different potential application.
