  • Patent number: 10858256
    Abstract: A method of separating and extracting carbon nanotubes, the method includes introducing the carbon nanotubes into a two-phase system that includes a first component and a second component, the first component being different from the second component. The method includes introducing a chemical agent into the two-phase system, mixing the chemical agent and the carbon nanotubes in the two-phase system, removing the first component to extract a first portion of the carbon nanotubes contained in the first component after the mixing, replenishing the two-phase system with fresh first component, and extracting a second portion of the carbon nanotubes contained in the fresh first component. A bandgap of the carbon nanotubes in the first portion is different from the bandgap of the carbon nanotubes in the second portion.

  • Patent number: 9518705
    Abstract: A lens for an illumination device, in a cross section, includes a bottom surface, and a first side surface and a second side surface which respectively extend inclinedly upwards from two sides of the bottom surface and converge. The bottom surface includes a supporting surface and an incident surface, the incident surface defining an accommodation cavity for accommodating a light source of the illumination device. The first side surface includes a first emergent surface and a first reflective surface, the second side surface includes a second emergent surface. A first part of light from the incident surface emerges from the first emergent surface, and a second part of light from the incident surface at least emerges from the second emergent surface after reflected by the first reflective surface, such that the emergent light is distributed at an angle of 360°.
