Selective removal of metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes with small diameters by using nitric and sulfuric acids

Coexistence of metallic and semiconducting carbon nanotubes has often been a bottleneck in many applications and much fundamental research. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were dissolved in HNO3/H2SO4 mixture to confirm differing reactivity between metallic (m) and semiconducting (s) SWCNTs. With HNO3/H2SO4 treatment, s-SWCNTs remained intact, while m-SWCNTs were completely removed for SWCNTs with small diameters less than 1.1 nm, which was confirmed by resonant Raman and optical absorption spectra. We also showed that nitronium ions (NO2+) dissolved in the HNO3/H2SO4 solution could preferably attack the m-SWCNTs, which was supported by our theoretical calculation. This clear selectivity can be explained by the preferential adsorption of positively charged NO2+ on m-SWCNTs due to more available electron densities at the Fermi level in the m-SWCNTs. We report for the first time a selective removal of small-diameter m-SWCNTs by using HNO3/H2SO4 solution, which presented a striking contrast to the diameter-selective removal of SWCNTs by oxidative etching reported previously.     

A novel H2O2 sensor based on the enzymatically induced deposition of polyaniline at a horseradish peroxide/aligned single-wall carbon nanotubes modified Au electrode

A novel H(2)O(2) sensor based on enzymatically induced deposition of electroactive polyaniline (PANI) at a horseradish peroxide (HRP)/aligned single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) modified Au electrode is fabricated, and its electrochemical behaviors are investigated. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy of the sensor confirmed the formation of PANI on SWCNTs through the HRP catalytic reaction. Cyclic voltammograms of PANI/HRP/SWCNTs modified Au electrodes showed a pair of well-defined redox peaks of PANI with reduction peak potentials of 0.211 and oxidation peak potentials of 0.293 V in 0.1 M HOAc-NaOAc (pH 4.3) solution. The oxidation peak current response of PANI is linearly related to H(2)O(2) concentration from 2.5 μM to 50.0 μM with a correlation coefficient of 0.9923 and a sensitivity of 200 μA mM(-1). The detection limit is determined to be 0.9 μM with a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. Thus, the synergistic performance of the enzyme, the highly efficient polymerization of PANI, and the templated deposition of SWCNTs provided an extensive platform for the design of novel electrochemical biosensors.

Selective oxidation on metallic carbon nanotubes by halogen oxoanions

Chlorine oxoanions with the chlorine atom at different oxidation states were introduced in an attempt to systematically tailor the electronic structures of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The degree of selective oxidation was controlled systematically by the different oxidation state of the chlorine oxoanion. Selective suppression of the metallic SWCNTs with a minimal effect on the semiconducting SWCNTs was observed at a high oxidation state. The adsorption behavior and charge transfer at a low oxidation state were in contrast to that observed at a high oxidation state. Density functional calculations demonstrated the chemisorption of chloro oxoanions at the low oxidation state and their physisorption at high oxidation states. These results concurred with the experimental observations from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The sheet resistance of the SWCNT film decreased significantly at high oxidation states, which was explained in terms of a p-doping phenomenon that is controlled by the oxidation state.     

Integrated, electrically contacted NAD(P)+-dependent enzyme-carbon nanotube electrodes for biosensors and biofuel cell applications

Integrated, electrically contacted beta-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide- (NAD(+)) or beta-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate- (NADP(+)) dependent enzyme electrodes were prepared on single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) supports. The SWCNTs were functionalized with Nile Blue (1), and the cofactors NADP(+) and NAD(+) were linked to 1 through a phenyl boronic acid ligand. The affinity complexes of glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) with the NADP(+) cofactor or alcohol dehydrogenase (AlcDH) with the NAD(+) cofactor were crosslinked with glutaric dialdehyde and the biomolecule-functionalized SWCNT materials were deposited on glassy carbon electrodes. The integrated enzyme electrodes revealed bioelectrocatalytic activities, and they acted as amperometric electrodes for the analysis of glucose or ethanol. The bioelectrocatalytic response of the systems originated from the biocatalyzed oxidation of the respective substrates by the enzyme with the concomitant generation of NAD(P)H cofactors. The electrocatalytically mediated oxidation of NAD(P)H by 1 led to amperometric responses in the system. Similarly, an electrically contacted bilirubin oxidase (BOD)-SWCNT electrode was prepared by the deposition of BOD onto the SWCNTs and the subsequent crosslinking of the BOD units using glutaric dialdehyde. The BOD-SWCNT electrode revealed bioelectrocatalytic functions for the reduction of O(2) to H(2)O. The different electrically contacted SWCNT-based enzyme electrodes were used to construct biofuel cell elements. The electrically contacted GDH-SWCNT electrode was used as the anode for the oxidation of the glucose fuel in conjunction with the BOD-SWCNT electrode in the presence of O(2), which acted as an oxidizer in the system. The power output of the cell was 23 muW cm(-2). Similarly, the AlcDH-SWCNT electrode was used as the anode for the oxidation of ethanol, which was acting as the fuel, with the BOD-SWCNT electrode as the cathode for the reduction of O(2). The power output of the system was 48 microW cm(-2).

Structure-dependent reactivity of semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes with benzenediazonium salts

The addition of diazonium salts to single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in aqueous surfactant suspensions quenches the intrinsic near-infrared fluorescence of semiconducting SWCNTs through sidewall chemical reactions. Spectrally resolved fluorescence spectroscopy of mixed SWCNT samples has been used to measure structure-dependent relative reactivities in the initial stages of these reactions. For several 4-substituted benzenediazonium salts, Ar-R (Ar = N 2 (+)-C 6H 4 and R = Cl, NO 2, OMe), reactivities at pH 10 were found to be greatest for SWCNTs having the largest band gaps. The magnitude of this band gap dependence varies according to the R-group of the salt, with R = OMe showing the strongest variation. For R = OH, acidification of the sample to pH 5.5 results in reversal of the structural trend, as smaller band gap SWCNTs show slightly greater reactivities. The derivatization reactions observed here proceed concurrently, although at different rates, for semiconducting and metallic SWCNT species. These results therefore provide insight into the difficulties of separating metallic and semiconducting SWCNTs through selective reaction schemes and underscore the need for fluorescence spectroscopy to be used in assessing semiconducting SWCNT reactions.     

In situ surface oxidation study of a planar Co/SiO2/Si(100) model catalyst with nanosized cobalt crystallites under model Fischer-Tropsch synthesis conditions

The oxidation of nanosized metallic cobalt to cobalt oxide during Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) has long been postulated as a major deactivation mechanism. In this study a planar Co/SiO(2)/Si(100) model catalyst with well-defined cobalt crystallites, close to the threshold value reported for oxidation in the literature (4-10 nm), was prepared by the spin coating method. The planar Co/SiO(2)/Si(100) model catalyst was characterized with atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Rutherford backscattering. The surface oxidation behavior of the nanosized metallic cobalt crystallites of 4-5 nm was studied using in situ near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure under model FTS conditions, i.e., H(2)/H(2)O = 1, P(Total) = 0.4 mbar, and 150-450 degrees C. No surface oxidation of metallic cobalt was observed under these model FTS conditions over a wide temperature range, i.e., 150-400 degrees C.     

一步合成二甲醚催化剂烧结失活和原位再生的研究

Theoretical investigation of the stability,electronic and magnetic properties of thiolated single‐wall carbon nanotubes

The addition of SH and OH groups to single‐wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) was investigated employing first principles calculations. In the case of the semiconducting (10, 0) SWCNT the SWCNT‐SH binding energy is weak, 2–4 kcal/mol. However, for the metallic (5, 5) SWCNT it is larger, 7–9 kcal/mol. Thus metallic SWCNTs seem to be more reactive to SH than the semiconducting ones. Indeed, the (6, 6) SWCNT is more reactive to SH than the (10, 0) SWCNT, by 2–3 kcal/mol, something that can be explained only considering the electronic structure of the tube, because the (6, 6) has a larger diameter. The binding energies are larger for the addition of the OH group, 25 and 30 kcal/mol for the (10, 0) and (5, 5) SWCNTs, respectively. When a single OH or SH group is attached to the metallic SWCNTs, we observe important changes in the DOS at the Fermi level. However, when multiple SH groups are attached, the changes in the electronic and magnetic properties depend on the position of the SH groups. The small binding energy found for the SH addition indicates that the successful functionalization of SWCNTs with SH, SCH₃, and S(CH₂)_nSH groups is mostly due to the presence of defects created after acid treatment and to a minor extent by the metallic tubes present in the samples. Perfect semiconducting SWCNTs showed very low reactivity against the SH group. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2009

Epitaxial film growth and superconducting behavior of sodium-cobalt oxyhydrate, NaxCoO2.yH2O (x approximately 0.3, y approximately 1.3)

We have developed a unique multistep film growth technique, combining reactive solid-phase epitaxy (R-SPE) with an intercalation process, to fabricate epitaxial films of superconducting sodium-cobalt oxyhydrate, Na(0.3)CoO2.1.3H2O. An epitaxial film of Na(0.8)CoO2 grown on an alpha-Al2O3(0001) substrate by R-SPE was subjected to oxidation and hydration treatment, leading to the formation of a Na(0.3)CoO2.1.3H2O epitaxial film. The film exhibited metallic electrical resistivity with a superconducting transition at 4 K, similar to that of bulk single crystals. The present technique is suitable and probably the only method for the epitaxial growth of superconducting Na(0.3)CoO2.1.3H2O.     

Regulatory Peptides Are Susceptible to Oxidation by Metallic Impurities within Carbon Nanotubes

In this article, we show that the redox properties of the regulatory peptide L ‐glutathione are affected by the presence of nickel oxide impurities within single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative stress by removing free radicals and peroxides. We show that the L ‐cysteine moiety in L ‐glutathione is responsible for the susceptibility to oxidation by metallic impurities present in the carbon nanotubes. These results have great significance for assessing the toxicity of carbon‐nanotube materials. The SWCNTs were characterized by Raman spectroscopy, high‐resolution X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy.     

Enhanced Bioelectrocatalysis Using Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs)/Polyaniline Hybrid Systems in Thin‐Film and Microrod Structures Associated with Electrodes

The charge transport properties in composites consisting of pyrene sulfonic acid‐functionalized single‐walled carbon nanotubes embedded in polyaniline, PAn/SWCNTs, and polystyrene sulfonate‐doped PAn, PAn/PSS, are compared in thin‐film and microrods configurations. The PAn/SWCNTs and PAn/PSS microrods were prepared by the electropolymerization of the respective components in porous alumina membranes coated with a conductive gold support, followed by the dissolution of the membrane template. The charge transport upon the oxidation of the PAn/SWCNTs planar film or microrods structures is ca. 3.5–4.0‐fold faster than upon the oxidation of the PAn/PSS planar film or microrods structures, respectively. The faster charge transport in the PAn/SWCNTs films and microrods is used to enhance the mediated bioelectrocatalyzed oxidation of glucose in the presence of glucose oxidase (GOx). The bioelectrocatalyzed oxidation of glucose in the presence of the PAn/SWCNTs in the planar film and microrods structures is ca. 2‐fold and up to 6‐fold (depending on the potential) enhanced as compared to the respective PAn/PSS configurations.

Tailoring electronic structures of carbon nanotubes by solvent with electron-donating and -withdrawing groups

Various electron-donating and -withdrawing groups in aromatic and aliphatic backbones of solvent have been introduced to tailor the electronic structures of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). In the case of solvent with a withdrawing group, electrons were extracted mainly from metallic SWCNTs, whereas small charge transfer was also observed in semiconducting SWCNTs. On the other hand, in the case of solvent with a donating group, electrons were donated to both metallic and semiconducting SWCNTs. This effect was less prominent in solvent with an aliphatic backbone than that with an aromatic backbone. The strong correlation between the sheet resistance and electronic structures of nanotubes is further discussed in conjunction with a modulation of Schottky barrier height.
