Cover Story: A new purification procedure of carbon nanoforms is proposed. While synthesis leads to a distribution of unwished products, many purification strategies exist. A successful one is combustion. However, the temperature has to be carefully chosen to maximize the reaction selectivity. Moreover, it depends on many factors, such as the material but also the reactor and parameters of gas. Temperature optimization typically relies on fastidious multiple isotherms and analysis of the product or unprecise constant heating rate measurement. We demonstrate here that a thermogravimetric method, the constant decomposition rate thermal analysis, is particularly well adapted to answer this question. It successfully allowed purifying the challenging case of multiwall carbon nanotubes and should be valuable for other carbonaceous forms. View this paper
