This study investigates the hydride-mediated electron transfer doping of single-walled carbon nanotubes using absorption spectroscopy and thermoelectric measurements. Specific solvent basicity is found to be important for the efficient n-type doping of carbon nanotubes. This progress is an essential requirement for the future development of electronic and energy devices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
