Ultrafast hydrogen sensing through hybrids of semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes and tin oxide nanocrystals.

چکیده
We report an ultrafast and sensitive hydrogen (H(2)) sensing platform using semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) decorated with tin oxide (SnO(2)) nanocrystals (NCs). The hybrid SnO(2) NC-SWCNT platform shows a response time of 2-3 seconds to 1% H(2) under room temperature and can fully recover within a few minutes in air.

Various nanocomposites of TiO2, ZnO and ZrO2 decorated single wall Carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were fabricated by facile and template free continuous ultrasonication/stirring of virgin metal oxide nanopowders and SWNTs in ethanol under UV-light illumination. The TEM micrographs showed that nanoparticles (NPs) were uniformly dispersed and bonded on the surface of SWNTs. The results of XRD as well a...

The ability to monitor intracellular events in real time is paramount to advancing fundamental biological and clinical science. We present the first demonstration of a direct interface of vertically aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes (VASWCNTs) with eukaryotic cells, RAW 264.7 mouse macrophage cell line. The cells were cultured on indium tin oxide with VASWCNTs. VASWCNTs entered the cells n...
متن کاملUltrafast spectroscopy of excitons in single-walled carbon nanotubes.
We studied the femtosecond dynamics of photoexcitations in films containing semiconducting and metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), using various pump-probe wavelengths and intensities. We found that confined excitons and charge carriers with subpicosecond dynamics dominate the ultrafast response in semiconducting and metallic SWNTs, respectively. Surprisingly, we also found from th...
متن کاملElectrical measurements of individual semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes of various diameters
Individual semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes ~SWNTs! of various diameters are studied by electrical measurements. Transport through a semiconducting SWNT involves thermal activation at high temperatures, and tunneling through a reverse biased metal–tube junction at low temperatures. Under high bias voltages, current–voltage (I – V) characteristics of semiconducting SWNTs exhibit pro...
