“…In the previous works, the investigation of binding energies, the intensity of CNTs annealed and unannealed in grazing incidence angle obtained by x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) show two categories of adsorbates [10,15]. On the one hand, the intrinsic adsorbates A′, A″, A″′, A″″ corresponding to gas molecules (H 2 O, CO, CO 2, O 2 ), and on the other hand the extrinsic adsorbates named P, P′ and P′ which are assigned to potassium (K) element [10,15]. These results are at the origin of our curiosity consisting of studying the adsorption capability of the SWCNTs to adsorb potassium and the electronic properties of the SWCNTs adsorbent materials.…”
