Optimization of electrochemical doping approach resulting in highly photoactive iodine-doped titania nanotubes

Structural selective charge transfer in iodine-doped carbon nanotubes

We have investigated iodine intercalated carbon nanostructures by extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) and Raman spectroscopies. We discuss here the charge transfer and the iodine–carbon interaction as a function of the carbon nanostructures (graphite, multiwalled, double-walled and single walled nanotubes). The results show that iodine is weakly adsorbed on the surface of all multi...

Raman spectroscopy of iodine-doped double-walled carbon nanotubes

We present a Raman spectroscopy study of iodine-intercalated (p-type doped) double-walled carbon nanotubes. Double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) are synthesized by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) and characterized by Raman spectroscopy. The assignment of the radial breathing modes and the tangential modes of pristine DWCNTs is done in the framework of the bond polarization theory,...

TiO2 Nanotubes: Recent Advances in Synthesis and Gas Sensing Properties

Synthesis--particularly by electrochemical anodization-, growth mechanism and chemical sensing properties of pure, doped and mixed titania tubular arrays are reviewed. The first part deals on how anodization parameters affect the size, shape and morphology of titania nanotubes. In the second part fabrication of sensing devices based on titania nanotubes is presented, together with their most no...
