ABSTRACT

Azide functionalization produced luminescent sp2-type defects on single-walled carbon nanotubes, by which defect photoluminescence appeared in near infrared regions (1116 nm). Changes in exciton properties were induced by localization effects at the defect sites, creating exciton-engineered nanomaterials based on the defect structure design.

ABSTRACT

The doped sites of locally functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes emit red-shifted and bright near-infrared photoluminescence compared to non-doped nanotubes. Here, we observe unique photoluminescent solvatochromism. Organic solvent environments induce photoluminescent energy shifts that linearly correlate with a solvent polarity function. A high responsiveness at the doped sites is found.

ABSTRACT

Lack of necessary degree of control over carbon nanotube (CNT) structure has remained a major impediment factor for making significant advances using this material since it was discovered. Recently, a wide range of promising sorting methods emerged as an antidote to this problem, all of which unfortunately have a multistep nature. Here we report that desired type of CNTs can be targeted and isolated in a single step using modified aqueous two-phase extraction. We achieve this by introducing hydration modulating agents, which are able to tune the arrangement of surfactants on their surface, and hence make selected CNTs highly hydrophobic or hydrophilic. This allows for separation of minor chiral species from the CNT mixture with up to 99.7 ± 0.02% selectivity without the need to carry out any unnecessary iterations. Interestingly, our strategy is also able to enrich the optical emission from CNTs under selected conditions.

ABSTRACT

Local chemical functionalization is used for defect doping of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), to develop near-infrared photoluminescence (NIR PL) properties. We report the multistep wavelength shifting of the NIR PL of SWNTs through chemical reactions at local doped sites tethered to an arylaldehyde group. The PL wavelength of the doped SWNTs is modulated based on imine chemistry. This involves the imine formation of aldehyde groups with added arylamines, imine dissociation reaction, exchange reaction of bound arylamines in the imine, and the Kabachnik-Fields reaction of imine groups using diisopropyl phosphite. Using doped sites as a localized chemical reaction platform can exploit the versatile molecularly driven functionality of carbon nanotubes and related nanomaterials.
