In situ Raman spectroelectrochemistry has been used to distinguish between thin single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) and the inner tubes of double-wall carbon nanotubes (DWCNT). The spectroelectrochemical method is based on the different change of the electronic structure of the inner tube in DWCNT and that of SWCNT during electrochemical charging, which is reflected in the Raman spectra. During electrochemical charging the inner tubes of DWCNT exhibit a delayed attenuation of the intensities of their Raman modes as referred to the behavior of SWCNT of similar diameter. The changes are pronounced for the radial breathing mode (RBM), and thus, these modes are diagnostic for the distinction of inner tubes of DWCNT from the thin SWCNT. The different sensitivities of inner and outer tubes to the applied electrochemical charging is a simple analytical tool for differentiation of SWCNT and DWCNT in a mixture. The significance of the proposed method is demonstrated on a commercial DWCNT sample.
