Abstract Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have shown tremendous application foreground in the field of micro-nano electronic devices due to their excellent physical, chemical and electrical properties. As a typical one-dimensional nanomaterial, SWCNTs exhibit distrinct conductive properties and chiral diversity with structural changes. However, SWCNTs prepared via direct growth are generally the mixture of metallic and semiconducting carbon nanotubes or the mixture of diverse chiral structures, which limit their practical application in electronic devices to a large extent. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully isolate the SWCNTs with single conductive properties or single chiral to meet the requirements for the fabrication of high-performance carbon nanotube devices. Besides, the one-dimensional nature of SWCNTs makes them exhibit extremely significant anisotropy, ie in most cases their axial performance are superior than that of the radial. Thus, the orientation arrangement of SWCNTs is of importance for their further application. For the above two reasons, the orientation arrangement of SWCNTs that were tailored to dispersion and separation after direct growth has been achieved via external forces(namely post-arrangement approach based on the solution method), which has attracted much attention in recent years. For the orientation arrangement method of SWCNTs based on the solution method, firstly, achieving the dispersion and separation of SWCNTs demands for physical adsorption or chemical modifications through surfactants or small aromatic molecules, macrocyclic conjugate polymers, nucleic acids, peptides and other biological molecules, and then combine with various physical and chemical methods to realize the horizontal-orientation arrangement. With the continuous research and development. some relatively simple and practicable methods for horizontal-orientation arrangement of SWCNTs have been reported, including shear force induction method, solvent evaporation self-assembly method, Langmuir-Blodgett and Langmuir-Schaefer method, chemical self-assembly method, vacuum filtration method, electromagnetic induction method, template method and the combination of two or more of the above methods, etc. However, in most cases, the above methods still exist some critical deficiencies, for instance, the orientation process is seriously affected by dispersing system, foreign substances such as surfactants and polymer dispersants introduced from the process of dispersion and separation will do harm for the follow-up device production, and the orientation arrangement area is small, the orientation effect is yet not ideal, etc.. Hence, the application of high-performance carbon nanotube devices calls for uniform diameter and a single chirality of the carbon nanotubes, high orientation, large area, uniform and controllable orientation density, which still remain huge challenges to be addressed. This article focused on the principle of the horizontal-orientation arrangement of SWCNTs in different dispersion system, expounds the status of the research progress of various methods, compares their merits and dismerits, and prospect to the future direction of research and development based on the classification of the current horizontal orientation method.
