Abstract:
The substitutional doping of nitrogen is an efficient way to modulate the electronic properties of graphene and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Therefore, it could enhance their physical and chemical properties as well as offer potential applications. This paper provides an overview of the experimental and theoretical investigations regarding nitrogen-doped graphene and CNTs. The formation of various nitrogen defects in nitrogen-doped graphene and CNTs, which are identified by several observations, is reviewed. The electronic properties and transport characteristics for nitrogen-doped graphene and CNTs are also reviewed for the development of high-performance electronic device applications.
