Abstract: | The state of doping of fullerene peapods C60@SWCNT treated with K vapor was studied by in situ Raman spectroelectrochemistry. For all samples under study, a heavy chemical n doping was proved by the vanishing of the radial breathing mode and the downshift of tangential displacement mode. The K-treated peapods remain partly doped even if they are exposed to humid air. The Ag(2) mode of intratubular fullerene in K-doped peapods in contact with air was still redshifted as referred to its position in pristine peapods. Potassium inserted into the peapods is the reason for the air-insensitive residual doping, which can be removed only by electrochemical oxidation. This indicates the presence of two positions of potassium in doped sample. |
