Abstract

We tuned the electronic properties of single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) with intercalation of naphthalene derivatives (NDs) having different electron donor or acceptor property in the SWCNT bundles. Characterization of the adsorbed SWCNT with Raman spectroscopy and electrical conductivity measurement clearly indicate the charge transfer interaction of ND molecules with SWCNT. Also X-ray diffraction supports the intercalation of ND molecules in the interstitial spaces and groove sites of SWCNT bundle. Intercalation of ND molecules enhances remarkably the CO2 adsorptivity, which can be ascribed to the key importance of the interaction of the quadrupole moment of CO2 with the local electrical field on the SWCNT induced by the charge transfer interaction.
