Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), which were prepared by hydrogen are discharge, were purified by using an infrared radiation heating system. The morphology, structure, vibrational modes and crystalline perfection of purified MWNTs were investigated by using scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, an X-ray diffractometer and a Raman spectrometer. Moreover, the electrical conductivity of individual purified MWNTs was measured using a two-probe method using a micro manipulator system. It turned out that the MWNTs had a high degree of graphitization, an electrical conductivity of about 1.85X10(3) S cm(-1) along the long axis, and an enormous current density of more than 10(7) A cm(-2).
