Electrochemistry of Carbon Nanotubes

  • Chapter
Book cover Carbon Nanotubes

Part of the book series: Topics in Applied Physics ((TAP,volume 111))

Abstract

The electrochemistry of carbon nanotubes is reviewed with the aim ofsummarizing what we can learn using these techniques, and what are the potentialapplications of nanotubes as electrode materials. Electrochemical chargingchanges the electronic structure. Consequently, electrochemistry and in-situspectroelectrochemistry provide versatile tools for the investigation of fundamentaleffects related to the electronic structure of carbon nanotubes. This approach iscompatible with chemical doping, but the electrochemical charging of nanotubesallows for precise control of the doping conditions. Salient (spectro)electrochemicaldata accumulated during the last ten years on SWNTs, DWNTs and fullerenepeapods are here reviewed.
