Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="smll201402127-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Suzuki reaction for covalently interconnected 3D carbon nanotube (CNT) architectures</bold> is reported. The synthesis of 3D macroscopic solids made of CNTs covalently connected via Suzuki cross‐coupling, a well‐known carbon–carbon covalent bond forming reaction in organic chemistry, is scalable. The resulting solid has a highly porous, interconnected structure of chemically cross‐linked CNTs. Its use for the removal of oil from contaminated water is demonstrated. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh3tpfwxkf" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
