Nitric acid oxidation of carbon nanotubes is a well‐known, but poorly understood, surface‐functionalization procedure. The formation of surface carboxylic species on carbon nanotubes has been investigated through a theoretical and experimental approach. The nature of the various intermediate surface‐oxygenated species formed has been highlighted and a mechanism is proposed for the formation of the COOH surface species in the Full Paper by P. Serp, R. Poteau et al. on page 11467 ff.
