含氮SW缺陷对单壁碳纳米管电子结构和光学性质的影响

应用第一性原理密度泛函理论研究了单壁碳纳米管中Stone-Wales(SW)缺陷和氮掺杂情况下的电子结构和光学性质.研究发现,含氮SW缺陷单壁碳纳米管体系的总能降低,结合更稳定,且在费米能级附近出现一条半满的杂质带,并且随着氮掺杂位置的不同,掺杂能态出现显著差异.碳管的吸收和反射明显减弱且吸收峰和反射峰在低能区发生红移现象,在能量小于11eV附近均出现杂质特征峰.本文对计算结果进行了分析研究,可望为含氮SW缺陷碳管在光电材料中的应用提供理论依据. 关键词： 单壁碳纳米管 Stone-Wales缺陷 氮掺杂 光学性质

Molecular dynamics of laser-assisted decomposition of unstable molecules at the surface of carbon nanotubes: case study of CH2(NO2)2 on CNT(4,0)

ABSTRACT

In this study, photoreactions of the dinitromethane molecule noncovalently adsorbed on the (4, 0) carbon nanotube (CNT) have been investigated by time-dependent, excited-state molecular dynamics, which takes into account simultaneous evolution of electronic excitation and nuclear positions under periodic optical excitations. It is found that desorption of molecular adsorbate from CNT surface can be controlled by UV?vis photoexcitations. In addition, it is shown that the presence of CNT substrate facilitates photodecomposition of the adsorbate molecule, related to optically controlled explosion. This model demonstrates potential of photoinduced charge transfer between the adsorbate and substrate, which can affect efficiency of desorption and decomposition reactions. This process has a potential use as a remote trigger for larger scale detonations, or as a mechanism for ‘cleaning’ CNTs of unwanted functionalisation.     

单壁碳纳米管的手性测量

单壁碳纳米管的制备方法主要包括物理法和化学法两种,不同制备方法的产物中包含很多种不同手性指数的单壁碳纳米管及杂质,而不同手性的单壁碳纳米管其作用完全不同,从而有不同的应用。采用化学方法——钴钼催化剂气相沉积法和物理方法——激光烧蚀气相沉积法制备单壁碳纳米管,用紫外–可见–近红外吸收光谱、荧光光谱及拉曼光谱法分别对其进行手性测量。结果表明,钴钼催化剂气相沉积法制得样品富含半导体型单壁碳纳米管,而激光烧蚀气相沉积法制得样品中主要为金属型单壁碳纳米管。分别得到了两种制备方法样品的手性分布。

Rh在单壁碳纳米管上吸附的密度泛函理论研究

本文利用密度泛函理论研究了Rh原子在（6,6）单壁碳纳米管内外的吸附行为. 通过对Rh在单壁碳纳米管上不同吸附位的吸附构型与吸附能的研究发现: Rh吸附在管内、外的洞位最稳定, 且管外吸附比在管内强. 这是由于单壁碳纳米管的卷曲效应使得管外电荷密度比管内大造成的. 态密度分析表明, 吸附在管内外的Rh原子的5s电子均转移到了4d轨道上; Rh原子4d轨道上的电子转移到了（6, 6）碳管上, 使Rh带正电, 碳管带负电. 结合能带分析表明, Rh原子吸附在管内磁性较弱, 而吸附在管外较强. 关键词： 密度泛函理论 单壁碳纳米管 Rh原子 吸附     

A study of the effect of different catalysts for the efficient CVD growth of carbon nanotubes on silicon substrates

We report on the identification of efficient combinations of catalyst, carbon feedstock, and temperature for the ethanol chemical vapour deposition (CVD) growth of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) onto silicon substrates.Different catalyst preparations, based on organometallic salts (Co, Fe, Mo, Ni acetate, and bimetallic mixtures), have been spin coated onto thermally grown silicon dioxide on silicon chips to perform tests in a temperature range between 500 and 900 °C.The samples have been then characterized by Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Assuming the growth of high-quality isolated nanotubes as target, the ratio in Raman spectra between the intensity of the G peak and of the D peak has been used as the main parameter to evaluate the performance of the catalytic process. A comparison made for both single metals and bimetallic mixtures points out best conditions to achieve efficient CVD growth of SWCNTs.     

单壁碳纳米管受限空间内水的分布

碳纳米管管腔作为分子物质的纳米通道,其储存或输送水的能力具有重要研究价值.为了研究碳纳米管管腔受限空间对水分子团簇结构和分布的影响,本文采用分子动力学方法探究了管径、手性和温度对单壁碳纳米管管腔内水的结构和分布的影响.结果表明:在常温下,管径尺寸范围为1.018—1.253 nm的单壁碳纳米管管内易形成有序的多元环水结构,此范围以外碳纳米管管内难以形成水的有序结构;且随着管径尺寸增大,多元环水呈现由三元环至六元环的结构变化;范德瓦耳斯势分布分析表明,在上述管径范围内,水分子趋向于贴近碳纳米管管壁分布而形成水的有序结构.对比管径尺寸差别较小的碳纳米管,其手性对多元环水结构影响不大.多元环水结构的稳定性表现出温度依赖性,管径较大的碳纳米管内的多元环水的有序结构更易随温度升高而消失.     

Gas Sensors Based on Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes

Single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have a high aspect ratio, large surface area, good stability and unique metallic or semiconducting electrical conductivity, they are therefore considered a promising candidate for the fabrication of flexible gas sensors that are expected to be used in the Internet of Things and various portable and wearable electronics. In this review, we first introduce the sensing mechanism of SWCNTs and the typical structure and key parameters of SWCNT-based gas sensors. We then summarize research progress on the design, fabrication, and performance of SWCNT-based gas sensors. Finally, the principles and possible approaches to further improving the performance of SWCNT-based gas sensors are discussed.
