摘要：

We first used an infrared radiation heating system in air to purify multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) containing unnecessary carbon nanoparticles. The raw MWNTs were obtained in the cathode deposit when a graphite electrode was evaporated in hydrogen gas by DC are discharge. The purification reached the depth of 0.1 mm from the deposit surface, which revealed highly oriented MWNTs vertical to the cathode surface. Using this methode, we can easily obtain a spongy bulk of highly oriented and purified MWNTs, with the size on the order of 10 mm(2) in surface area and 0.1 mm in thickness.
