Abstract:
7,7,8,8-tetracyano-p-quinodimethane (TCNQ), tetrathiafulvalene (TTF), and dodecanethiol (DoSH) were encapsulated inside single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), (TCNQ@SWNT, TTF@SWNT, and DoSH@SWNT). We measured the Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) spectra and X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns to confirm the encapsulation of organic molecules. Slight shifts of the FTIR peaks and the disappearance of an XRD peak at ~6°, corresponding to the SWNT (10) reflection, were observed. From the measurements of the current-voltage curves, it was revealed that the current of TTF@ SWNT and DoSH@SWNT decreased, and the current of TCNQ@SWNT increased compared with that of pristine SWNTs.
