Abstract:Polythiophene (PT) without bending or torsion is an ideal candidate for one-dimensional conductive wires. The synthesis of PT molecules has been attempted using one-dimensional confined spaces in single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). However, carrier doping in encapsulated PT for achieving high transport properties is challenging. Herein, we investigated hole doping in PT molecules encapsulated in semiconducting and metallic SWNTs. It was found that the spectral weight ratio of the near-infrared to visible a… Show more
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.
