Electrochemical Charging of Nanocarbons: Fullerenes, Nanotubes, Peapods

  • Conference paper
Frontiers of Multifunctional Integrated Nanosystems

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series II: Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry ((NAII,volume 152))

Abstract

Electrochemical doping of nanocarbons is easy, versatile and precise in terms of the defined amount of doping charge. Electrochemical reduction of thin solid films of C60 is irreversible, and is accompanied by a structural reconstruction, which can lead to a formation of regular clusters of C60. The Vis-NIR spectroelectrochemistry of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNCT) points at reversible and fast bleaching of the electronic transitions between Van Hove singularities. The bleaching causes reversible quenching of resonance Raman scattering of both radial breathing and tangential modes of SWCNT. Fullerene peapods, C60@SWCNT and C70@SWCNT exhibit similar quenching of the tube-related modes. The Raman intensities of intratubular C60 increase considerably upon anodic doping, but not at cathodic charging. In contrast to that, all the relevant Raman modes of intratubular C70 show symmetric charge-transfer bleaching of the tube-related modes.
