Magnetic nanoparticle-based separation of metallic and semiconducting carbon nanotubes.

چکیده
We report a simple and scalable method for the separation of semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) from metallic SWNTs using magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) functionalized with polycationic tri-aminated polysorbate 80 (TP80). MNPs-TP80 are selectively adsorbed on acid-treated semiconducting SWNTs, which makes the semiconducting SWNTs be highly concentrated to over 95% under a magnetic field. Almost all the field effect transistor network devices, which were fabricated using separated semiconducting SWNTs, exhibited a p-type semiconducting behavior with an on/off ratio of higher than 10(4).

Anomalous photoluminescence Stokes shift in CdSe nanoparticle and carbon nanotube hybrids
A very large decrease in the Stokes shift in CdSe nanoparticle (NP) photoluminescence is seen from hybrid materials in which the NPs are attached to single-walled carbon nanotubes after pyridine treatment relative to unbound NPs capped by pyridine. This is observed particularly for very small NPs, for hybrids composed of core-only and core-shell NPs, and for hybrids made with bundles of mixture...
متن کاملChemistry and electronics of carbon nanotubes go together.
One of the critical issues for the application of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in nanoelectronics is the control of their electronic properties, which can be either metallic or semiconducting in their pristine form, depending on their diameter and chirality. Since all known preparative methods yield mixtures of metallic and semiconducting nanotubes, extensive research has been devoted ...
متن کاملLarge anisotropy in the magnetic susceptibility of metallic carbon nanotubes.
Through magnetic linear dichroism spectroscopy, the magnetic susceptibility anisotropy of metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes has been extracted and found to be 2-4 times greater than values for semiconducting nanotubes. This large anisotropy can be understood in terms of large orbital paramagnetism of metallic nanotubes arising from the Aharonov-Bohm-phase-induced gap opening in a parallel...
متن کاملLarge-scale separation of metallic and semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes.
In the applications of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), it is extremely important to separate semiconducting and metallic SWNTs. Although several methods have been reported for the separation, only low yields have been achieved at great expense. We show a separation method involving a dispersion-centrifugation process in a tetrahydrofuran solution of amine, which makes metallic SWNTs hig...
متن کاملTandem extraction strategy for separation of metallic and semiconducting SWCNTs using condensed benzenoid molecules: effects of molecular morphology and solvent.
Separation of metallic and semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is of great importance for SWCNT-based nano-electronics. We propose a tandem extraction strategy for efficient separation of different types of SWCNTs. This strategy is based on chiral angle discriminated adsorption of soluble condensed benzenoid aromatic molecules on SWCNTs, which induce different dispersibility ...
