N2 - Element-specific techniques including near edge X-ray absorption fine structure, extended X-ray absorption fine structure and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy for the characterization of the carbon nanotube interfacial interactions are reviewed. These techniques involve soft and hard X-rays from the laboratory-based and synchrotron radiation facilities. The results provided information of how the nano-particles of catalysts are involved in the initial stage of nanotube growth, the nanotube chemical properties after purification, functionalization, doping and composite formation.
