We propose vacuum annealing to purify carbon nanotube wires (CNTWs) manufactured from surfactant dispersions by removing residual carbonaceous impurities (surfactant and solvent) included during wire-spinning. We analysed the CNTW purity post-annealing vs. treatment temperature and time by scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and thermogravimetry. Our results suggest that maximal purification is achieved after annealing at 800 °C (for ≥3 h) or at 1000 °C (for ≥1 h). The optimally purified wires show higher CNT content and G/D (∼93 wt% and >30, respectively) than the untreated wires (∼71 wt% and 25, respectively).
