“…In this example, the sodium cation will 'seek out' the crown ether and complex in its centre where its charge is stabilised by the lone pairs of the oxygen molecules. Electron transfer reactions between dopant and SWCNT are key to n-type doping and are discussed in many papers on this subject [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. In its basic form, TPM-CB, possesses no such positive charge and is thus able to undergo electron transfer reactions with the nanotubes through both of its amine chains (Fig.…”

Great advances in semiconductor technologies continue to be made with the demand for cheap, non-toxic, easily processed and environmentally friendly technologies on the rise. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are viewed as a promising candidate that satisfies these criteria however proper doping of the SWCNTs to provide n-type behaviour has been a persistent issue. In recent years, great advances have been made in providing air stable and efficient n-type doping of SWCNTs. This review presents the most recent and promising methods of n-type doping SWCNTs highlighted for their simplicity and quality of electrical properties. The analysis and major applications of these semiconductors with a focus on thermoelectric devices and transistors are discussed.

Aqueous surfactant dispersion is the most typical starting step to functionalize materials consisting of carbon nanotubes, but the effects of surfactants on the electronic properties are stillu nclear.H ere we report how the functional groups of surfactants affect the electronic properties of carbon nanotube films. Using spectroscopic and thermoelectric characterization, we demonstrate that anionic and non-ionic surfactants contribute to the formation of p-type and n-type carbonn anotubes, respectively.A dditionally,p -type doping with oxygen adsorptioni sf ound to competew ith surfactants' doping.

Heavy doping is inevitable for utilizing single‐walled carbon nanotubes for wiring. However, the electrical conductivity of their films is currently as low as one tenth of the films made from typical metal pastes. Herein we report on metal‐comparable electrical conductivity from single‐walled carbon nanotube network films. We use ionic liquids and crown ether complexes for p‐type and n‐type doping, respectively. The encapsulation of counterions into carbon nanotubes promotes the conductivities in the range of 7000 S cm−1, approximately ten times larger than those of undoped films.
