The high‐end applications of single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are hindered by the existence of large amount of impurities, especially the graphene layers encapsulating metal nanoparticles (metal@C NPs). The role of working metal catalysts during chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth and post purifications by oxidation are not yet fully understood. Herein, the in situ monitoring the role of working metal catalyst NPs for ultrahigh purity SWCNTs by CVD growth and CO2 purifications is carried out in an online thermogravimetric reactor attached with a mass spectrometer. The growth of SWCNTs almost stops after the initial 2 min, then, the mass increase of the samples mainly originates from the metal@CNP formation. Therefore, high‐purity SWCNTs (98.5 wt%) with few metal@CNPs can be available by 2 min CVD growth. Furthermore, CO2 oxidation of the SWCNTs is also investigated in a thermogravimetric reactor. The oxidation of graphene layers surrounding the metal NPs and the SWCNTs occurs during distinct temperature ranges, which is further demonstrated by the significant differences among their oxidation activation energies. Ultrahigh purity of SWNCT with a carbon content of 99.5 wt% can be available by a CO2‐assited purification method. The in situ study of the CVD growth and CO2 oxidation of SWCNTs provides the real time information on the working catalyst during reaction and the reactivity information of metal@CNPs and SWCNTs under an oxidizing atmosphere. The success for the preparation of high‐purity SWCNT lies in the efficient growth of SWCNTs with a low amount of nanocarbon impurities and partial oxidation of metal@CNPs by catalytic CO2 oxidation with proper operation parameters. 相似文献

Switching of the luminescence properties of molecular materials in response to mechanical stimulation is of fundamental interest and also has a range of potential applications. Herein, a water‐soluble mechanochromic luminescent pyrene derivative having two hydrophilic dendrons is reported. This pyrene derivative is the first example of a mechanochromic luminescent organic compound that responds to relative humidity. Mechanical stimulation (grinding) of this pyrene derivative in the solid state results in a change of the photoluminescence from yellow to green. Subsequent exposure to water vapor induces recovery of the initial yellow photoluminescence. The color change is reversible through at least ten cycles. It is also demonstrated that this compound can be applied as a mechano‐sensing material in frictional wear testing for grease, owing to its immiscibility in non‐polar solvents and its non‐crystalline behavior. Transmission electron microscope and atomic force microscope observations of samples prepared from dilute aqueous solutions of the pyrene derivative on suitable substrates, together with dynamic light scattering measurements for the compound in aqueous solution, indicate that this amphiphilic dumbbell‐shaped molecule forms micelles in water. 相似文献

We have developed a photochemically controlled photonic‐crystal material by covalently attaching spiropyran derivatives to polymerized crystalline colloidal arrays (PCCAs). These PCCAs consist of colloidal particles that self‐assemble into crystalline colloidal arrays (CCAs), which are embedded in crosslinked hydrogels. Photoresponsive PCCAs were made two ways: 1) by functionalizing the hydrogel network with spiropyran derivatives, and 2) by functionalizing the colloidal particles with spiropyran derivatives. These materials can diffract light in the UV, visible, or near‐IR spectral regions. The diffraction of the PCCAs is red‐shifted by exciting the spiropyran with UV light. Alternatively, the diffraction is blue‐shifted by exciting the spiropyran with visible irradiation. Thus, this material acts as a memory storage material where information is recorded by illuminating the PCCA and information is read out by measuring the photonic‐crystal diffraction wavelength. UV excitation forms the open spiropyran form while visible excitation forms the closed spiropyran form. The diffraction shifts result from changes in the free energy of mixing of the PCCA system as the spiropyran is photoexcited to its different stable forms. 相似文献

An iridescent chameleon‐like material that can change its colors under different circumstances is always desired in color‐on‐demand applications. Herein, a strategy based on trichromacy and the dynamically tunable fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) process to design and prepare these chameleon‐like fluorescent materials is proposed. A set of trichromic (red, green, and blue), solid fluorescent materials are synthesized by covalently attaching spiropyran, fluorescein, and pyrene onto cellulose chains independently. After simply mixing them together, a full range of color is realized. The chameleon‐like nature of these materials is based on the dynamic tunable FRET process between donors (green and blue) and acceptors (red) in which the energy transfer efficiency can be finely tuned by irradiation. Ultimately, the reversible and nonlinear regulation of fluorescence properties, including color and intensity, is achieved on a timescale recognizable by the naked eye. Benefited by the excellent processability inherited from the cellulose derivatives, the as‐prepared materials are feasibly transformed into different forms. Particularly, a fluorescent ink with the complicated fluorescent input–output dependence suggests more than a proof‐of‐concept; indeed, it suggests a unique method of information encryption, security printing, and dynamic anticounterfeiting. 相似文献

A novel procedure for effective fabrication of photostable oxygen‐doped single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in solid‐state matrices has been developed. SWCNTs drop‐cast on various types of substrates are coated with oxide dielectric thin films by electron‐beam evaporation. Single tube photoluminescence spectroscopy studies performed at room and cryogenic temperatures reveal that such thin film‐coated tubes exhibit characteristic spectral features of oxygen‐doped SWCNTs, indicating the oxide thin film coating process leads to oxygen doping of the tubes. It is also found that the doping efficiency can be effectively controlled by the thin film deposition time and by the types of surfactants wrapping the SWCNTs. Moreover, aside from being the doping agent, the oxide thin film also serves as a passivation layer protecting the SWCNTs from the external environment. Comparing the thin film coated SWCNTs with oxygen‐doped tubes prepared via ozonolysis, the former exhibit significantly higher photostability and photoluminescence on‐time. Therefore, this one‐step deposition/oxygen‐doping procedure provides a possible route toward scalable, versatile incorporation of highly photostable oxygen‐doped SWCNTs in novel optical and optoelectronic devices. 相似文献

Chemiresistive sensor arrays for cyclohexanone and nitromethane are fabricated using single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) that are covalently functionalized with urea, thiourea, and squaramide containing selector units. Based on initial sensing results and 1H NMR binding studies, the most promising selectors are chosen and further optimized. These optimized selectors are attached to SWCNTs and simultaneously tested in a sensor array. The sensors show a very high level of reproducibility between measurements with the same sensor and across different sensors of the same type. Furthermore, the sensors show promising long‐term stability, which renders them suitable for practical applications. 相似文献

A simple, versatile method for non‐covalent functionalization of graphene based on solution‐phase assembly of alkane‐amine layers is presented. Second‐order Møller–Plesset (MP2) perturbation theory on a cluster model (methylamine on pyrene) yields a binding energy of ≈220 meV for the amine–graphene interaction, which is strong enough to enable formation of a stable aminodecane layer at room temperature. Atomistic molecular dynamics simulations on an assembly of 1‐aminodecane molecules indicate that a self‐assembled monolayer can form, with the alkane chains oriented perpendicular to the graphene basal plane. The calculated monolayer height (≈1.7 nm) is in good agreement with atomic force microscopy data acquired for graphene functionalized with 1‐aminodecane, which yield a continuous layer with mean thickness ≈1.7 nm, albeit with some island defects. Raman data also confirm that self‐assembly of alkane‐amines is a non‐covalent process, i.e., it does not perturb the sp2 hybridization of the graphene. Passivation and adsorbate n‐doping of graphene field‐effect devices using 1‐aminodecane, as well as high‐density binding of plasmonic metal nanoparticles and seeded atomic layer deposition of inorganic dielectrics using 1,10‐diaminodecane are also reported. 相似文献

A good dispersion of single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in liquid media is a prerequisite to fulfill many of their applications. This contribution reports an efficient approach to additive‐free dispersion of SWCNTs with the aid of functionalized carbonaceous byproducts (CBs, e.g., amorphous carbon, carbon nanoparticles, and carbonaceous fragments) in SWCNT products. SWCNT bundles are treated by oleum intercalation and nitric acid oxidation in sequence, which leads to the selective functionalization of the CBs while the structure and properties of the SWCNTs are well preserved. These functionalized CBs can improve the subsequent dispersion of SWCNTs and the majority of SWCNTs in the suspension are present in small bundles or individually. Moreover, SWCNT transparent conductive films (TCFs) are fabricated by using these suspensions. The SWCNT TCFs obtained can achieve a low sheet resistance of 76 and 133 Ω sq?1, with optical transmittance of 82% and 90% at 550 nm, respectively. 相似文献

Nitrogen‐doped single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are synthesized directly on silicon and quartz substrates through a normal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. Thermogravimetry mass spectrometry measurements and Raman spectroscopy give firm evidence for framework nitrogen doping. X‐ray‐photoelectron‐spectroscopy analysis further obtains the bonding style of the nitrogen atoms in the carbon framework. The nitrogen doping significantly changes the properties of the SWCNTs. All of the tubes behave like metallic tubes in field‐effect transistors. The doped nitrogen atoms introduce a stronger affinity for the SWCNTs to metal nanoparticles. Compared with pristine SWCNTs, the nitrogen‐doped tubes show enhanced sensitivity and selectivity for electrochemical detection of some electrophilic species including O2, H2O2, and Fe3+. They also present improved electrocatalytic activity for oxygen reduction. These unique properties of the nitrogen‐doped SWCNTs endow them with important potential applications in various fields. 相似文献

A microwave‐induced controlled method for the purification of single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) by removing residual metal catalysts and carbonaceous impurities is reported. Compared to conventional strong acid treatment, this one‐step method uses dilute acids and complexing agents and reduces the reaction times to the order of minutes. Furthermore, the SWCNTs retain their chemical and physical properties and are not functionalized. Electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and atomic absorption (AA) spectrometry studies were used to characterize the purified SWCNTs. 相似文献

A critical challenge in nanocomposite fabrication by adding SWCNTs as reinforcement is to realize an effective transfer of the excellent mechanical properties of the SWCNTs to the macroscale mechanical properties of the matrix. Using directly grown SWCNT films with continuous reticulate structure as the template, Cu/SWCNTs/Cu laminated nanocomposites are fabricated by an electrodepositing process. The resulting Cu/SWCNTs/Cu laminated nanocomposites exhibit extremely high strength and Young's modulus. The estimated Young's modulus of the SWCNT bundles in the composite are between 860 and 960 GPa. Such a high strength and an effective load‐transfer capacity are ascribed to the unique continuous reticulate architecture of SWCNT films and the strong interfacial strength between the SWCNTs and Cu matrix. Raman spectroscopy is used to characterize the loading status of the SWCNTs in the strained composite. It provides a route to investigate the load transfer of SWCNTs in the metal matrix composites. 相似文献

A facile synthesis method for the heterostructures of single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and few‐layer MoS2 is reported. The heterostructures are realized by in situ chemical vapor deposition of MoS2 on individual SWCNTs. Field effect transistors based on the heterostructures display different transfer characteristics depending on the formation of MoS2 conduction channels along SWCNTs. Under light illumination, negative photoresponse originating from charge transfer from MoS2 to SWCNT is observed while positive photoresponse is observed in MoS2 conduction channels, leading to ambipolar photoresponse in devices with both SWCNT and MoS2 channels. The heterostructure phototransistor, for negative photoresponse, exhibits high responsivity (100–1000 AW?1) at low bias voltages (0.1 V) in the visible spectrum (500–700 nm) by combining high mobility conduction channel (SWCNT) with efficient light absorber (MoS2). 相似文献

The recent discovery that impurity atoms in crystals can be manipulated with focused electron irradiation has opened novel perspectives for top‐down atomic engineering. These achievements have been enabled by advances not only in electron optics and microscope stability but also in the preparation of suitable materials with impurity elements incorporated via ion and electron‐beam irradiation or chemical means. Here it is shown that silicon heteroatoms introduced via plasma irradiation into the lattice of single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) can be manipulated using a focused 55–60 keV electron probe aimed at neighboring carbon sites. Moving the silicon atom mainly along the longitudinal axis of large 2.7 nm diameter tubes, more than 90 controlled lattice jumps are recorded and the relevant displacement cross sections are estimated. Molecular dynamics simulations show that even in 2 nm diameter SWCNTs, the threshold energies for out‐of‐plane dynamics are different than in graphene, and depend on the orientation of the silicon‐carbon bond with respect to the electron beam as well as the local bonding of the displaced carbon atom and its neighbors. Atomic‐level engineering of SWCNTs where the electron wave functions are more strictly confined than in 2D materials may enable the fabrication of tunable electronic resonators and other devices. 相似文献

The structure separation of synthetic single‐wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) mixture species with diameters larger than 1.2 nm still remains a challenge. Here, an NaOH‐assisted gel chromatography method is used for the structure separation of the SWCNT mixture with a diameter range of 1.2–1.7 nm, in which NaOH is used to tune the interaction between distinct (n, m) SWCNTs and gel. Incrementally increasing NaOH concentration in SWCNT dispersion selectively enhances the adsorbability of different‐structure SWCNTs and enlarges their interaction difference with gel, leading to their structure separation after applying into a gel column system. On this basis, a two‐step method is developed for further improving the structure purity of the separated SWCNTs by combining overloading and stepwise elution. These results are well demonstrated by the optical spectra of the separated SWCNTs. This work paves a way for single‐chirality separation of large‐diameter SWCNTs using gel chromatography technique and is an advanced progress in the structure control of SWCNTs. 相似文献

The induction of electrohydrodynamic instabilities in nematic liquid crystals through light illumination are reported. For this purpose, a photochromic spiropyran is added to the liquid crystal mixture. When an electrical field is applied in the absence of UV light, the homeotropic liquid crystal reorients perpendicular to the electrical field driven by its negative dielectric anisotropy. Upon exposure to UV light, the nonionic spiropyran isomerizes to the zwitterionic merocyanine form inducing electrohydrodynamic instabilities which turns the cell from transparent into highly scattering. The reverse isomerization to closed‐ring spiropyran form occurs thermally or under visible light, which stops the electrohydrodynamic instabilities and the cell becomes transparent again. It is demonstrated that the photoionic electrohydrodynamic instabilities can be used for light regulation. Local exposure, either to drive the electrohydrodynamics or to remove them enables the formation of colored images. 相似文献

A new strategy for creating the energy transfer spectral conversion thin film by using fluorophore‐functionalized molecular gelation is proposed. This is based on the facts that nanofibrillar phase separation of the self‐assembling pyrene derivative as a fluorophore is formed in a bulk polymer‐containing organic gel, and consequently that the phase‐separated nano domain in a polymer thin film is enough small to keep the transparency but also extremely high Storks shift is gained by efficient excimer formation through highly ordered stacking among the pyrene moieties. When the phase separation‐mediated functional polymer is applied as spectral conversion films (SCFs) for copper–indium–gallium–selenide (CIGS) solar cell, the SCF‐covered solar cell exhibits significant improvement of power conversion efficiency by increase of photocurrent. In this paper, the FRET efficiency and emission wavelength are also demonstrated to be thermotropically switchable since order‐to‐disordered transitions are essential characteristics of as non‐covalent low molecular assembling. 相似文献

In this work, room‐temperature‐operated ultrasensitive solution‐processed perovskite photodetectors (PDs) with near infrared (NIR) photoresponse are reported. In order to enable perovskite PDs possessing extended NIR photoresponse, novel n‐type low bandgap conjugated polymer, poly[(N,N′‐bis(2‐octyldodecyl)‐1,4,5,8‐naphthalene diimide‐2,6‐diyl) (2,5‐dioctyl‐3,6‐di(thiophen‐2‐yl)pyrrolo[3,4‐c]pyrrole‐1,4‐dione‐5,5′‐diyl)] (NDI‐DPP), which has strong absorption in the NIR region, is developed and then employed in perovskite PDs. By the formation of type II band alignment between NDI‐DPP with single‐wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), the NIR absorption of NDI‐DPP is exploited, which contributes to the NIR photoresponse for the perovskite PDs, where perovskite is incorporated with NDI‐DPP and SWCNTs as well. In addition, SWCNTs incorporated with perovskite active layer can offer the percolation pathways for high charge‐carrier mobility, which tremendously boosts the charge transfer in the photoactive layer, and consequently improves the photocurrent in the visible region. As a result, the perovskite PDs exhibit the responsivities of ≈400 and ≈150 mA W?1 and the detectivities of over 6 × 1012 Jones (1 Jones = 1 cm Hz1/2 W?1) and over 2 × 1012 Jones in the visible and NIR regions, respectively. This work reports the development of perovskite PDs with NIR photoresponse, which is terrifically beneficial for the practical applications of perovskite PDs. 相似文献

A new type of light‐switchable “smart” single‐walled carbon nanotube (SWNTs) is developed by the reversible host–guest interaction between azobenzene‐terminal PEO (AzoPEO) and pyrene‐labeled host attached on the sidewalls of nanotubes via π–π stacking. The SWNTs hybrids not only are well dispersed in pure water, but also exhibit switchable dispersion/aggregation states upon the alternate irradiation of UV and visible light. Moreover, the SWNTs hybrids dispersion is preliminarily used as coating fluid to form transparent conductive films. The dispersant AzoPEO is removed by the contamination‐free UV treatment, decreasing the resistance of the films. This kind of light‐switchable SWNTs hybrids, possessing a ‘‘green’’ trigger and intact structure of the nanotube, may find potential applications in sensor of biomedicines, device fabrication, etc. Additionally, such a reversible host–guest interaction system may open up the possibility to control the dispersion state of SWNTs by other common polymers. 相似文献

The application of single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) as saturable absorbers (SA) in a Nd:glass femtosecond laser is verified as a promising alternative to traditional semiconductor saturable‐absorber mirrors (SESAMs). The shortest laser pulses achieved with a SWCNT‐SA fabricated by the slow‐evaporation method are reported herein. Nearly Fourier‐limited 288 fs pulses are obtained with negative‐dispersion soliton mode‐locking. The importance of the properties of the starting material, such as the degree of purity and the chirality, and the successive slow‐evaporation deposition method is proven by using a multitechnique approach based on X‐ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, and μ‐Raman spectroscopy. The high degree of nanotube alignment on the glass substrate and also the slight metallic character due to electron transfer between the glass matrix and the nanotubes themselves are identified as the main features responsible for the good laser response. 相似文献

The fabrication of aligned single‐walled, carbon nanotube (SWCNT) intratube junction devices by partially coating pristine SWCNTs with a β‐nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) solution and subsequent annealing at 150 °C is reported. Gate‐bias‐dependent rectification behavior is observed with a rectification ratio of >103 at ±1 V. A comparative study with p–n‐junction devices of randomly networked SWCNTs confirms the advantage of using aligned SWCNTs with substantially better rectifying characteristics due to the selective removal of metallic tubes by electrical breakdown. The gate dependence of the intratube p–n‐junction in the forward and backward directions is attributed to the difference in the shift of the Fermi levels (forward bias) and the enhanced direct tunneling (reverse bias), as suggested by band‐diagram modeling. This work suggests a potential application of aligned SWCNT intratube p–n‐junction devices in the future of nanoelectronic circuits. 相似文献
