Tunable Ytterbium-Doped Mode-locked Fiber Laser Based on Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
摘要： A tunable mode-locked ytterbium-doped fiber laser with a tuning range of 55 nm is demonstrated. Currently, this is the widest tuning range for all-normal dispersion (ANDi) ytterbium-doped mode-locked fiber laser based on new-material saturable absorber (SA). The combined effects of the single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) saturable absorber and a reflective grating significantly improved laser performance: broad tuning range, superb stability and repeatability. The experimental results indicate that SWCNTs can be a brilliant saturable absorber in all-normal dispersion regime at 1 μm, with pulse width of 2.4 ps and optical spectral bandwidth of 1.6 nm across the full tuning range. The laser also shows that the optical spectrum can be tuned accurately and continuously, which gives possibility for various applications such as optical communications, spectroscopy, time-resolved measurement, etc.

Synthesis and Optical Properties of Iodinated Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes
摘要： This paper reports synthesis and optical properties of iodinated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). Multi-walled carbon nanotubes were synthesized by aerosol – assisted chemical vapor deposition method and iodinated by crystalline iodine under increased pressure (approximately ~20 bar) at 400°C. X-ray diffraction analysis, Raman and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy were applied to characterize the iodinated MWCNTs.The results proved the presence of iodine atoms in iodinated MWCNTs. UV-VIS absorption and photoluminescence properties have been studied in pristine MWCNTs and iodinated MWCNTs suspensions in ethanol. Firstly, photoluminescence intensity of the iodinated MWCNTs remarkably enhanced with the appearance of C–I bonds on the surface of MWCNTs, due to the high concentration of intercalated iodine atoms (approximately 30 wt %). The photoluminescence intensity enhancement of peaks at 430 and 520 nm is highly dependent on defects formed by C–I bonds.

Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Synthesized Gold Nanoparticle/Carbon Nanotube Hybrids for Photo-thermal Conversion
摘要： In this work, a room temperature atmospheric pressure direct-current plasma has been deployed for the one-step synthesis of gold nanoparticle/carboxyl group functionalized carbon nanotube (AuNP/CNT-COOH) nanohybrids in aqueous solution for the first time. Uniformly distributed AuNPs are formed on the surface of CNT-COOH, without the use of reducing agents or surfactants. The size of the AuNP can be tuned by changing the gold salt precursor concertation. UV-Vis, ζ-potential and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy suggest that carboxyl surface functional groups on CNTs served as nucleation and growth sites for AuNPs and the multiple potential reaction pathways induced by the plasma-chemistry have been elucidated in detail. The nanohybrids exhibit significantly enhanced Raman scattering and photothermal conversion efficiency, properties that are essential for potential multi-modal cancer treatment applications.

Formation of CoTe2 embedded in nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes-grafted polyhedrons with boosted electrocatalytic properties in dye-sensitized solar cells
摘要： Developing high active and earth-abundant electrocatalysts is a challenge for commercialization of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Herein, a designed synthesis of CoTe2 nanoparticles embedded in nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes-grafted polyhedron (CoTe2@NCNTs) using zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) as template is reported. Benefiting from the high surface area induced by the in situ growth of CNTs and the synergistic effect between CoTe2 and the N-doped nanostructured carbon, CoTe2@NCNTs hybrids exhibit remarkable catalytic activity toward the reduction of I3? ions. When employed as counter electrode (CE) of DSSCs, CoTe2@NCNTs hybrids deliver overwhelming power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 9.02%, possessing ~12% improvement compared with the Pt CE (8.03%). This study provides an emerging substitute for traditional Pt CE and a strategy to synthesize efficient electrocatalysts via rational surface engineering.

A spark discharge generator for scalable aerosol CVD synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes with tailored characteristics
摘要： We have designed and built an exhaust-free spark discharge generator for robust aerosol CVD synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes. The systematic study has shown the generator to provide a facile and repeatable route to precisely control the size of the catalyst particle and, therefore, carbon nanotube growth. Using a comprehensive set of methods (the analysis of differential mobility of the aerosol particles, optical spectroscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy) we have revealed the relation between the defectiveness, length, diameter distribution of carbon nanotubes and specific features of a generator such as electrode characteristics (breakdown voltage, composition, and current) as well as the nature of the surrounding media (carrier gas nature, flow rate). The design used has resulted in separation of the nanoparticle formation and carbon nanotube nucleation processes. This provides a mutual independence of the growth parameters and the diameter distribution of the single-walled carbon nanotubes enhancing the scalability of the process. For instance, the breakdown voltage has been shown to have nearly zero effect on diameter and length distribution of carbon nanotubes produced while strictly governing the yield. We focus here on producing specifically short carbon nanotubes (l < 500nm) of pronounced defectiveness for drug delivery and transistor applications.

Directed Nanoscale Self-assembly of Natural Photosystems on Nitrogen-doped Carbon Nanotubes for Solar Energy Harvesting
摘要： Natural photosystems (PSs) have received much attention as a biological solar energy harvester because of their high quantum efficiency for energy transfer. However, the PSs hybridized with solid electrodes exhibit low light-harvesting efficiencies because of poor interface properties and random orientations of PSs, all of which interfere with efficient charge extraction and transfer. Herein, we report the linker-free, oriented self-assembly of natural PSs with nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (NCNTs) via electrostatic interaction. Protonated nitrogen-doped sites on the NCNTs facilitate spontaneous immobilization of the negatively charged stroma side of PSs, which provides a favorable orientation for electron transfer without electrically insulating polymer linkers. The resulting PS/NCNT hybrids exhibit a photocurrent density of 1.25 ± 0.08 μA cm-2, which is much higher than that of PS/CNT hybrids stabilized with polyethylenimine (0.60 ± 0.01 μA cm-2) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (0.14 ± 0.01 μA cm-2), respectively. This work emphasizes the importance of the linker-free assembly of PSs into well-oriented hybrid structures to construct an efficient light-harvesting electrode.

Solubilization of Carbon Nanotubes with Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate for Solution-Processed Conductive Films and Charge Extraction Layers in Perovskite Solar Cells
摘要： Carbon nanotube (CNT) solubilization via non-covalent wrapping of conjugated semiconducting polymers is a common technique used to produce stable dispersions for depositing CNTs from solution. Here, we report the use of a non-conjugated insulating polymer, ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), to disperse multi- and single-walled CNTs (MWCNT and SWCNT) in organic solvents. We demonstrate that despite the insulating nature of the EVA, we can produce semitransparent films with conductivities of up to 34 S/cm. We show, using photoluminescence spectroscopy, that the EVA strongly binds to individual CNTs, thus making them soluble, preventing aggregation, and facilitating the deposition of high-quality films. To prove the good electronic properties of this composite, we have fabricated perovskite solar cells using EVA/SWCNTs and EVA/MWCNTs as selective hole contact, obtaining power conversion efficiencies of up to 17.1%, demonstrating that the insulating polymer does not prevent the charge transfer from the active material to the CNTs.

Templated direct growth of ultra-thin double-walled carbon nanotubes
摘要： Double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) combined the advantages of multi-walled (MW-) and single-walled (SW-) CNTs can be obtained by transforming the precursors (e.g. fullerene, ferrocene) into thin inner CNTs inside SWCNTs as templates. However, this method is limited since the DWCNT yield is strongly influenced by the filling efficiency (depending on the type of the filled molecules), opening and cutting the SWCNTs, and the diameter of the host SWCNTs. Therefore, it cannot be applied to all types of SWCNT templates. Here we show a universal route to synthesize ultra-thin DWCNTs via making SWCNTs stable at high temperature in vacuum. This method applies to different types of SWCNTs including metallicity-sorted ones without using any precursors since the carbon sources were from the reconstructed SWCNTs and the residue carbons. The resulting DWCNTs are with high quality and the yield of inner tubes is comparable to/higher than that of the DWCNTs made from the transformation of ferrocene/fullerene peapods.

Conductive Films Based on Sandwich Structures of Carbon Nanotubes/Silver Nanowires for Stretchable Interconnects
摘要： A variety of conductive films made of a hybrid of two conductive nanomaterials have been used as stretchable electrodes or interconnectors, desirable for stretchable electronic devices. Their intrinsic stretchability of electrical conductivity would allow for accommodating mechanical strain to a certain extent under various deformations. However, few efforts have been made to enhance the interactions between two conductive components in a hybrid system. Herein, we reported new conductive films with tri-layer sandwich structures based on CNTs and AgNWs, encapsulated in silicone rubber, exhibited high stretchability along with insignificant piezoresistivity. They would be suitable to be stretchable interconnectors. A successive vacuum filtration method was used to stack the conductive components layer by layer. The effects of the stacking sequence and the interactions between layers on the stretchability and stability of electrical properties under mechanical deformations were studied. In the case of a tri-layer conductive film comprising two CNT outer layers and one AgNW central layer in presence of enhanced interfacial interactions, it showed exceptionally durability of withstanding repetitive deformations.

Semiconducting carbon nanotubes in photovoltaic blends: The case of pTB7:PC <sub/>60</sub> BM:(6,5) SWNT
摘要： Blends of carbon nanotubes with conjugated polymer and fullerene derivatives are complex nanocomposite systems, which have recently attracted great research interest for their photovoltaic ability. Therefore, gaining a better understanding of the excitonic dynamics in such materials can be important to boost the efficiency of excitonic solar cells. Here, we studied the photophysics of a ternary system in which the polymer PTB7 and the fullerene derivative PCBM are integrated with (6,5) single walled carbon nanotubes. We highlight the contribution of SWNTs in the exciton dissociation and in the charge transfer process. These findings can be useful for the exploitation of these multi-component systems for organic photovoltaic and, in general, optoelectronic applications.
