Tuning of photoluminescence intensity and Fermi level position of individual single-walled carbon nanotubes by molecule confinement

Improved Performance of QDSSCs Can Be Achieved by Constructing a Transparent Anatase TiO2@MWCNT Photoanode Based on the Bionic Mountain Lotus

“…Therefore, in this study, we conducted biomimetic doping optimization on the block-like transparent anatase TiO 2 (TA TiO 2 ) thin film from the previous work. − The mountain hydrangea, originally a white flower, turns transparent when exposed to water, revealing the veins inside the petals and earning it the nickname “skeleton flower”. − This plant is found in Eastern Asia and the eastern part of North America. , By studying the tissue structure of the mountain hydrangea’s petals, we found that water permeates the uneven surface of the petals, changing their transparency and creating a unique transparent beauty after rain . At the same time, the presence of the veins strengthens the structural integrity of the petals and transfers nutrients.…”

Spectroscopic Insights into the Influence of Filling Carbon Nanotubes with Atomic Nanowires for Photophysical and Photochemical Applications

“…22 Further, hybrid nanotube materials,including heterostructures with BN and MoS 2 and other nanotubes, exhibit unique properties such as unconventional Raman signatures, distinct phase transitions, and interesting charge-transfer processes between their constituents. [17][18][19][20]23,24 Tremendous developments in liquidphase separation techniques have enabled the purification of not only the "host" material, such as single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), 25−28 but also nanotube heterostructures based on their metallicity or electronic properties. 29,30 Nanotube heterostructures are also attractive components for nanoelectronics, where they can act as functional thermoelectric, photovoltaic, or conductive elements.…”

“…Following the first reports of filling carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with guest materials 3 decades ago, there has been huge interest in the creation of extremely thin one-dimensional (1D) hybrid materials such as CNTs filled with molecules, − other nanotubes, − nanowires (NWs) − or nanoclusters. One prominent emerging application is the use of CNTs and nanotube heterostructures in photocatalysis, where filled or functionalized nanotubes can boost the rate of photocatalytic redox reactions that remove pollutants, perform CO 2 reduction, or produce hydrogen from water. − For such applications, knowledge of the electronic and optical properties of the nanocomposite is vital, in particular because it has reported that the infiltrated material can significantly modify the electronic nature of the outer nanotubes. − For example, filling with Te can enhance the charge-carrying capacity of boron nitride nanotubes, growing copper halide nanocrystals inside CNTs can lead to the creation of new carbon-copper energy levels, and filling with alkane can significantly enhance the tunability of the optical performance of CNTs .
