研究目的
Investigating the thermodynamic control of quantum defects on single-walled carbon nanotubes to modify their photoluminescence properties through thermal treatment.
研究成果
Control of the PL wavelength of quantum defects on SWNTs was achieved by thermal treatment. The combination of optical measurements and theoretical calculations is effective for understanding the structure and properties of functionalized SWNTs, including the isomerization of SWNTs. Thermal isomerization from kinetic to thermodynamic products is one plausible explanation for the changes in the red-shifted PL wavelength of functionalized SWNTs.
研究不足
The study is limited by the difficulty in determining the local structure of functionalized SWNTs experimentally. Further studies are required for clarification of the exact structure of functionalized SWNTs.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the preparation and characterization of single-walled carbon nanotubes with designed quantum defects. The photoluminescence properties were modified by thermal treatment. Theoretical calculations were used to explain the changes in PL spectra.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Functionalized SWNTs were prepared by reductive alkylation of SWNTs with dibromopropane and dibromobutane derivatives.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The study utilized thermal treatment under nitrogen atmosphere, absorption, Raman, PL, and excitation spectra measurements.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Thermal treatment was conducted at a heating rate of 10°C min?1. The change in the functionalization degree was estimated from the relative E11 absorption peak intensities and the ratios of the D band toward the G band in the Raman spectra.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
DFT and time-dependent DFT calculations of model compounds were performed to understand the structure and properties of functionalized SWNTs.
