Abstract

Treatment of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) in a gaseous 40%NH3–1%С2Н2–C2H4 mixture at 600 and 700°С led to “nitrogen-containing carbon coating–single-wall carbon nanotubes” composites. Single-walled carbon nanotubes after etching in aqua regia (SWCNTetch) and doped with nitrogen (N-SWCNT) were studied by XPS, electron microscopy, and IR spectroscopy. It was found that the initial SWCNTetch surface contains various oxygen-containing functional groups. Treatment of SWCNTetch in a 40%NH3–1%С2Н2–C2H4 mixture led to the formation of a thin carbon coating on the carbon nanotube surface due to polymerization and condensation of hydrocarbons. After treatment at 600°C, the formation of nitrogen-containing functional groups is insignificant; however, when the treatment temperature is increased to 700°C, the nitrogen content reaches 0.5 at % of the weight of the N-SWCNT sample.
