Abstract:
Thermoelectric (TE) generators consisting of flexible and lightweight p- and n-type single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT)-based composites have potential applications in powering wearable electronics using the temperature difference between the human body and the environment. Tuning the TE properties of SWCNTs, particularly p- versus n-type control, is currently of significant interest. Herein, the TE properties of SWCNT-based flexible films consisting of SWCNTs doped with polyethyleneimine (PEI) were evaluated. The carrier type of the SWCNT/PEI composites was modulated by regulating the proportion of SWCNTs and PEI using simple mixing techniques. The as-prepared SWCNT/PEI composite films were switched from p- to n-type by the addition of a high amount of PEI (>13.0 wt.%). Moreover, interconnected SWCNTs networks were formed due to the excellent SWNT dispersion and film formation. These parameters were improved by the addition of PEI and Nafion, which facilitated effective carrier transport. A TE generator with three thermocouples of p- and n-type SWCNT/PEI flexible composite films delivered an open circuit voltage of 17 mV and a maximum output power of 224 nW at the temperature gradient of 50 K. These promising results showed that the flexible SWCNT/PEI composites have potential applications in wearable and autonomous devices.

Abstract:
As SARS-CoV-2 is spreading rapidly around the globe, adopting proper actions for confronting and protecting against this virus is an essential and unmet task. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) promoting molecules such as peroxides are detrimental to many viruses, including coronaviruses. In this paper, metal decorated single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were evaluated for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) adsorption for potential use for designing viral inactivation surfaces. We employed first-principles methods based on the density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the capture of an individual H2O2 molecule on pristine and metal (Pt, Pd, Ni, Cu, Rh, or Ru) decorated SWCNTs. Although the single H2O2 molecule is weakly physisorbed on pristine SWCNT, a significant improvement on its adsorption energy was found by utilizing metal functionalized SWCNT as the adsorbent. It was revealed that Rh-SWCNT and Ru-SWCNT systems demonstrate outstanding performance for H2O2 adsorption. Furthermore, we discovered through calculations that Pt- and Cu-decorated SWNCT-H2O2 systems show high potential for filters for virus removal and inactivation with a very long shelf-life (2.2 × 1012 and 1.9 × 108 years, respectively). The strong adsorption of metal decorated SWCNTs and the long shelf-life of these nanomaterials suggest they are exceptional candidates for designing personal protection equipment against viruses.

Abstract:
Composites based on the matrix polymer polypropylene (PP) filled with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and boron-doped SWCNTs (B-SWCNTs) were prepared by melt-mixing to analyze the influence of boron doping of SWCNTs on the thermoelectric properties of these nanocomposites. It was found that besides a significantly higher Seebeck coefficient of B-SWCNT films and powder packages, the values for B-SWCNT incorporated in PP were higher than those for SWCNTs. Due to the higher electrical conductivity and the higher Seebeck coefficients of B-SWCNTs, the power factor (PF) and the figure of merit (ZT) were also higher for the PP/B-SWCNT composites. The highest value achieved in this study was a Seebeck coefficient of 59.7 µV/K for PP with 0.5 wt% B-SWCNT compared to 47.9 µV/K for SWCNTs at the same filling level. The highest PF was 0.78 µW/(m·K2) for PP with 7.5 wt% B-SWCNT. SWCNT macro- and microdispersions were found to be similar in both composite types, as was the very low electrical percolation threshold between 0.075 and 0.1 wt% SWCNT. At loadings between 0.5 and 2.0 wt%, B-SWCNT-based composites have one order of magnitude higher electrical conductivity than those based on SWCNT. The crystallization behavior of PP is more strongly influenced by B-SWCNTs since their composites have higher crystallization temperatures than composites with SWCNTs at a comparable degree of crystallinity. Boron doping of SWCNTs is therefore a suitable way to improve the electrical and thermoelectric properties of composites.

Abstract:
Binder-free macroscopic single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) solids were prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS) of purified SWCNTs. The effects of processing temperatures and pressures on the mechanical properties of the SWCNT solids and structural change of SWCNTs in the SWCNT solids were investigated. Transmission electron microscope observation of the SWCNT solids revealed thatthe high-temperature treatment has transformed some part of the SWCNTs into amorphous-like structure and the rest of the SWCNTs remained buried into the above structure. The mechanical properties of the SWCNT solids increased with the increasing processing temperature, probably reflecting the improvement of interfacial strength between SWCNTs and disordered structure of carbon due to the spark plasma generated in the SPS process.

Abstract In this research, a new direction for functionalizing of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) via the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) method was utilized. SWCNTs were grafted with polystyrene (PSt) by the in situ ATRP method, in the presence of α-phenyl chloro acetylated SWCNT. This functional SWCNT was synthesized by the reaction between α-phenyl chloro acetyl chloride and a hydroxylated SWCNT that was obtained by reduction of a carboxylated SWCNT by lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4). Oxidation, reduction and coupling reactions of SWCNTs were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and polymerization of styrene from SWCNTs surfaces was illustrated by transfer electron microscopy (TEM). Thermal properties of attached polymers onto SWCNTs surfaces were investigated by thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis.

Abstract:
Semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (s-SWCNTs) have gathered significant interest in various emerging electronics due to their outstanding electrical and mechanical properties. Although large-area and low-cost fabrication of s-SWCNT field effect transistors (FETs) can be easily achieved via solution processing, the electrical performance of the solution-based s-SWCNT FETs is often limited by the charge transport in the s-SWCNT networks and interface between the s-SWCNT and the dielectrics depending on both s-SWCNT solution synthesis and device architecture. Here, we investigate the surface and interfacial electro-chemical behaviors of s-SWCNTs. In addition, we propose a cost-effective and straightforward process capable of minimizing polymers bound to s-SWCNT surfaces acting as an interfering element for the charge carrier transport via a heat-assisted purification (HAP). With the HAP treated s-SWCNTs, we introduced conformal dielectric configuration for s-SWCNT FETs, which are explored by a carefully designed wide array of electrical and chemical characterizations with finite-element analysis (FEA) computer simulation. For more favorable gate-field-induced surface and interfacial behaviors of s-SWCNT, we implemented conformally gated highly capacitive s-SWCNT FETs with ion-gel dielectrics, demonstrating field-effect mobility of ~8.19 cm2/V⋅s and on/off current ratio of ~105 along with negligible hysteresis.

Abstract:
5, 10, 15, 20 meso tetra(4-aminophenyl) porphyrinato nickel (II) complex (Ni-TAP) was connected covalently with a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT). The Infrared (IR) spectrum of SWCNT-NiTAP nanohybrid conveys the shifting of C=O stretching frequency from 1714 cm-1 to 1695 cm-1 which substantiates the covalent bond connection of porphyrin with SWCNT. In Raman spectroscopy, there is a decrease in the ID/IG ratio after the covalent linkage of SWCNT with Ni-TAP compared to SWCNT-COOH, which specifies enriched electronic properties of SWCNTNiTAP. This is perhaps due to the method of acylation. The morphology study of SWCNT-NiTAP retains the tubelike structure even after the covalent functionalization. The presence of significant peaks in the C 1s and N 1s XP spectra of SWCNT-NiTAP indicate the covalent bond connection of porphyrin chromophores on SWCNTs. Fluorescence spectra of SWCNT-NiTAP show that effective fluorescent quenching is due to energy or electron transfer from Ni-TAP to SWCNTs. Moreover, SWCNT-NiTAP reveals hypsochromic shift compared to Ni-TAP, which specifies the covalent linkage of SWCNT with Ni-TAP.

Abstract:
In this study, we report a facile route to synthesize gelatin-based Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube (gelatin/SWCNT) nanocomposites using a simple solution casting process and investigate the impact of SWCNT filler on the structural, surface morphological, optical, electrical, and thermal features. According to the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy study, the addition of SWCNTs improves the interaction between gelatin and SWCNTs. The field emission scanning electron microscope images showed the presence of the fillers increased with the increment of SWCNT. The roughness of the samples increased caused by high interfacial interactions between Gel and SWCNTs. The nanocomposite’s optical bandgap was observed to be reduced from 2.1 to 1.9 eV as the SWCNT was varied from 0% to 0.5 vol. %. The addition of SWCNTs significantly boosted the DC electrical conductivity of the prepared samples by four orders of magnitude. The incorporation of SWCNT into the gelatin matrix was also observed to improve the nanocomposite's melting enthalpy and degree of crystallinity up to 94.5%. The gelatin/SWCNT nanocomposites were found to be decomposed completely in 4 days in the soil in an open environment.

Abstract:
Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT)/anatase TiO2 composite materials were prepared by successive sol–gel and hydrothermal processes. The composites contained thin SWCNT bundles embedded in aggregates of ~ 12 nm anatase crystallites. A series of SWCNT/ TiO2 photocatalysts was prepared with various SWCNT contents; a SWCNT content of ~ 8 wt.% was found to be optimal for methylene blue (MB) degradation under combined UV/visible radiation. The optimized SWCNT/ TiO2 composite demonstrated substantially higher photocatalytic activity than pure nanocrystalline anatase (5.2 times) and Degussa P-25 TiO2 powder (2.7 times). The MB degradation and mineralization processes were separately evaluated and complete decomposition of MB was shown to take place. The presence of SWCNTs caused an increase in the visible light absorbance of TiO2 ; however, SWCNT/ TiO2 composites did not show any photocatalytic activity when the UV part of the UV/visible light source was filtered. Therefore SWCNTs worked as acceptors for the TiO2 photoexcited electrons, but did not act as sensitizers for TiO2 .

Abstract:
Although conventional antibiotics have evolved as a staple of modern medicine, increasing antibiotic resistance and the lack of antibiotic efficacy against new bacterial threats is becoming a major medical threat. In this work, we employ single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) known to deliver and track therapeutics in mammalian cells via intrinsic near-infrared fluorescence as carriers enhancing antibacterial delivery of doxycycline and methicillin. SWCNTs dispersed in water by antibiotics without the use of toxic bile salt surfactants facilitate efficacy enhancement for both antibiotics against Staphylococcus epidermidis strain showing minimal sensitivity to methicillin. Doxycycline to which the strain did not show resistance in complex with SWCNTs provides only minor increase in efficacy, whereas the SWCNTs/methicillin complex yields up to 40-fold efficacy enhancement over antibiotics alone, suggesting that SWCNT-assisted delivery may circumvent antibiotic resistance in that bacterial strain. At the same time SWCNT/antibiotic formulations appear to be less toxic to mammalian cells than antibiotics alone suggesting that nanomaterial platforms may not restrict potential biomedical applications. The improvement in antibacterial performance with SWCNT delivery is tested via 3 independent assays—colony count, MIC (Minimal Inhibitory Concentration) turbidity and disk diffusion, with the statistical significance of the latter verified by ANOVA and Dunnett’s method. The potential mechanism of action is attributed to SWCNT interactions with bacterial cell wall and adherence to the membrane, as substantial association of SWCNT with bacteria is observed—the near-infrared fluorescence microscopy of treated bacteria shows localization of SWCNT fluorescence in bacterial clusters, scanning electron microscopy verifies SWCNT association with bacterial surface, whereas transmission electron microscopy shows individual SWCNT penetration into bacterial cell wall. This work characterizes SWCNTs as novel advantageous antibiotic delivery/imaging agents having the potential to address antibiotic resistance.

Abstract:
The aim of this research is to fabricate an electrically conducting, smooth, continuous and sensitive nanofiber using tri-block copolymer PS-b-PDMS-b-PS and SWCNTs by electrospinning. The electronic nanofibers may be utilized for effective biosensing applications. The SWCNTs have been of great interest to researchers because of their exceptional electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties. The nanoscale diameter, high aspect ratio, and low density make them an ideal reinforcing candidate for novel nanocomposite material. Electrically conducting fibers are prepared by electrospinning a solution of PS, PS-b- PDMS-b-PS and functionalized SWCNTs using solvent DMF. The fibers formed have an average diameter and height of 5 and 4 μm respectively. These fibers are characterized by SEM, AFM, and optical microscopy. The electrical characterization of a single fiber shows an almost linear graph of current vs. voltage using the Kelvin Sensing method. This linear graph exemplifies the conducting nature of the fiber. Future work includes preparing nanofibers decorated with functional groups and binding with specific type of enzyme or protein to study their I-V behavior. This approach or method can be utilized for bio-sensing activities, especially for the detection of various antibodies and protein molecules.

Lithium-ion batteries are commonly used in portable electronics, and the rapid growth of mobile technology calls for an improvement in battery capabilities. Reducing the particle size of electrode materials in synthesis is an important strategy for improving their rate capability and power density (which is the capacity at high rates). Using biological materials as a template during synthesis allows us to achieve this, improving synthesis methods. Utilizing biological materials makes it possible to synthesize nano-scale particles, and using the M13 virus has shown to be an early solution. The addition of conductive material, such as single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT or CNT), also improves the conductivity of the electrode, further improving the battery's rate capabilities (Lee et al., 2009). In this study, our goal is to improve the conductivity of the LIB battery cathode using M13-carbon nanotube complexes.

Abstract:
We have investigated single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) networks wrapped with the cationic surfactant sodium dodecyl-benzenesulfonate (SBDS) as promising candidates for water detection. This is the first time that the humidity behavior of endohedral Li-doped (Li@) and undoped SWCNTs/SDBS has been shown. We identified a strong and almost monotonic decrease in resistance as humidity increased from 11 to 97%. Sensitivities varied between −3 and 65% in the entire humidity range. Electrical characterization, Raman spectroscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) analysis revealed that a combination of the electron donor behavior of the water molecules with Poole-Frenkel conduction accounted for the resistive humidity response in the Li@SWCNT/SDBS and undoped SWCNT/SDBS networks. We found that Li@SWCNTs boosted the semiconducting character in mixtures of metallic/semiconducting SWCNT beams. Moreover, electrical characterization of the sensor suggested that endohedral Li doping produced SWCNT beams with high concentration of semiconducting tubes. We also investigated how frequency influenced film humidity sensing behavior and how this behavior of SWCNT/SDBS films depended on temperature from 20 to 80 ∘ C. The present results will certainly aid design and optimization of SWCNT films with different dopants for humidity or gas sensing in general.

Abstract:
Single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) show a variety of unparalleled properties such as high electrical and thermal conductivity, high specific surface area (SSA) and a large stiffness under axial loads. One of the major challenges in tapping the vast potential of SWCNTs is to fabricate nanotube based macrostructures that retain the unique properties of nanotubes. Pristine SWCNT aerogels are highly porous, isotropic structures of nanotubes mediated via van der Waals (VDW) interactions at junctions. The mechanical behavior of such aerogels is examined in several experimental studies. However, it is necessary to supplement these studies with insights from simulations in order to develop a fundamental understanding of deformation behavior of SWCNT aerogels. In this study, the mechanical behavior of SWCNT networks is studied using a multi-scale modeling approach. The mechanics of an individual nanotube and interactions between few nanotubes are modeled using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The results from atomistic simulations are used to inform meso-scale and continuum scale finite element (FE) models. The deformation mechanism of pristine SWCNT networks under large compressive strain is deduced from insights offered by meso-scale simulations. It is found that the elasticity of such networks is governed by the bending deformation of nanotubes while the plastic deformation is governed by the VDW interactions between nanotubes. The stress response of the material in the elastic regime is dictated by the VDW stresses on nanotubes while in the plastic regime, both the VDW and axial deformation stresses on nanotubes drive the overall stress response. In this study, the elastic behavior of a random SWCNT network with any set of junction stiffness and network density is also investigated using FE simulations. It is found that the elastic deformation of such networks can be governed either by the deformation of the nanotubes (bending, axial compression) or deformation of the junctions. The junction stiffness and the network density determine the network deformation mode. The results of the FE study are also applicable to any stiff fiber network.

Abstract:
Poly[lactic co-glycolic] acid (PLGA) is a biocompatible polymer commonly used in the field of tissue engineering, but its mechanical properties tend to be less than ideal for most orthopedic applications. Five PLGA composites, reinforced with 0 to 1% nonfunctionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes, were prepared and tested for tensile strength. In order to achieve consistent nanotube dispersions, sodium dodecyl sulfate was incorporated as a surfactant. The polymer scaffold fabrication methods were successful at creating suitable samples for tensile testing. After the tests were performed, scanning electron microscope images were taken to examine the fractured edges and determine the cause of failure. Analysis of fractured surfaces indicated good nanotube dispersions in all composite samples, and an increase in tensile strength, with respect to the control (0.532 MPa), was found for composites at the 0.07% nanotube and 0.09% nanotube concentrations (0.570 MPa and 0.643 MPa respectively). Total length at failure decreased as carbon nanotube concentration increased. This experiment showed a promising trend toward increasing the mechanical properties of PLGA/carbon nanotube composites and represented a prospective foundation for future research.

Abstract:
Fabrication of SWCNT-PMMA and Activated Charcoal- PMMA composites was carried out by the compression moulding technique. Then Mechanical and Electrical properties of the composites were investigated. The morphological studies of composites showed a) good dispersion of fillers and b) good interaction between fillers and matrix. Electrical conductivity of SWCNT-PMMA composites was increased by 9 orders of magnitude (at 0.8 % volume fraction of SWCNT) and that of AC-PMMA composites increased by 16 orders of magnitude (at 17 % volume fraction of AC). The percolation threshold of both composites turned out to be lower compared to the theoretical values. A significant improvement in mechanical properties was obtained ??? particularly in AC-PMMA composites which showed a 400 % improvement in Vickers microhardness ??? raising the polymer matrix abrasion property literally to that of Aluminium alloys (Dobrazanski et al 2006). In conclusion, it is to be noted that Activated Charcoal - PMMA composites have a great potential for cost effective conducting polymer composite production by the use of cheap filler: In addition, the compression moulding technique shows good potential for cost effective fabricating technique for amorphous polymers with high electrical and mechanical properties.

O tratamento químico de nanotubos de carbono (NTC) é necessário para aprimorar suas propriedades, aplicações e remover impurezas. O tratamento, com ácidos fortes como H2SO4 e HNO3 tem sido a alternativa mais utilizada. A mistura desses ácidos fortes produz espécies eletrofílica NO2+, íon nitrônio, que é um potencial agente oxidante, cuja concentração depende da proporção da mistura H2SO4:HNO3. Neste trabalho, a interação entre o íon nitrônio e o nanotubo de carbono de camada única (SWCNT, do inglês Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube) foi explorado experimental e computacionalmente. Experimentalmente a solução H2SO4:HNO3 foi analisada em proporções diferentes (1:1, 2:1, 5:2, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1, 6:1, 7:1 e 8:1 v/v) e a concentração de íon nitrônio foi obtida utilizando-se uma curva analítica construída com uma solução padrão de NO2BF4 em H2SO4. Todas as espécies na mistura ácida foram caracterizadas por espectroscopia Raman. Os resultados mostraram que a concentração do íon nitrônio na mistura ácida varia de 0 até 4,53 mol/L. As misturas 2:1, 5:2 e 3:1 foram então utilizadas para a oxidação química de SWCNT por 4, 8 e 12 horas. As amostras finais foram analisadas por espectroscopia Raman, análise termogravimétrica (TG) e espectroscopia de raios X por dispersão de energia (EDS). Dentre os resultados, foram observados por meio da espectroscopia Raman uma alta desordem estrutural no sistema após a oxidação, com significativas mudanças nos modos de respiração radial (RBM), como o desaparecimento de bandas de tubos com pequenos diâmetros, além do aumento dada razão ID/IG de 0,027 para 0,59 em tubos oxidados com a mistura 3:1. As análises TG mostraram um aumento na temperatura de decomposição dos tubos em, pelo menos, 30ºC se comparado às amostras padrão, sugerindo um significativo grau de oxidação. Os resultados de EDS apontaram um aumento considerável na quantidade de oxigênio, passando de 7% para 20%, aumentando com o aumento do tempo de reação e com a concentração do íon nitrônio. Computacionalmente a interação entre o íon nitrônio e o SWCNT foi estudada através de cálculos de mecânica quântica. Foram analisados modelos do tipo armchair (5,5), sendo um tubo perfeito (P) e dois outros contendo defeitos do tipo Stone-Wales (SW) e monovacância (V1) para modelar regiões distintas na superfície do nanotubo. Para os modelos P e SW, o grupo funcional éter (COC) foi obtido como um produto principal, com um epóxido (CCO) encontrado como um intermediário de reação. As barreiras de energia livre de Gibbs foram de 31,7 kcal.mol-1 (P) e 37,8 kcal.mol-1 (SW) em solução aquosa à 298,15 K e 1 atm. O mecanismo envolvendo o modelo V leva à obtenção de uma carbonila (CO) como produto principal, formado espontaneamente através da adsorção do íon NO2+. O mecanismo de alta energia também foi descrito no modelo V, passando por um estado de transição, caracterizado como um anel do tipo oxaziridina. Através deste caminho um grupamento do tipo alcóxido (CO-) é formado inicialmente e reage com um carbono vizinho, produzindo um grupo funcional do tipo éter (COC). A energia livre de Gibbs de ativação foi de 4,5 e 11,2 kcal.mol-1 para primeiro (CO-) e segundo (COC) passos, respectivamente. Os resultados reportados sugerem o início da oxidação em meio ácido através da região de vacância, com primeira oxidação levando a uma carbonila, seguida das reações nos defeitos topológicos (P e SW) na superfície com a formação de um éter (COC) como principal produto.
The chemical treatment of carbon nanotubes (CNT) is necessary to improve their properties, applications and to remove impurities. Treatments with strong acids as H2SO4 and HNO3 is the mostly used alternative. The mixture of these strong acids produces the electrophilic species NO2+, the nitronium ion that is a potential oxidizing with concentration depending on the H2SO4:HNO3 proportion. In this work the interaction between the nitronium ion and a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) was explored experimentally e theoretically. Experimentally, the H2SO4:HNO3 solution was analyzed at different proportions (1:1, 2:1, 5:2, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1, 6:1, 7:1 and 8:1 v/v) and the nitronium ion concentration obtained using a calibration plot constructed from a standard solution of NO2BF4 in H2SO4. All the species in the acid mixture were characterized by Raman spectroscopy. The results showed that the concentration of nitronium ion in the acid mixtures varied from 0 to 4.53 mol/L. The mixtures 2:1, 5:2 and 3:1 were then used for the chemical oxidation of single-walled CNT for 4, 8 and 12 hours. The final samples were analyzed by Raman spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). It was observed by Raman spectroscopy a higher structural disorder in the system after the oxidation, with significant changes in RBM modes, such as disappearance of bands of small diameter tubes, and in the ID/IG ratio, which increases from 0.027 until 0.59 to CNT oxidized with 3:1 mixture. The TGA showed an increase in the temperature of the tube decomposition of at least 30ºC relative to the pristine form, suggesting a significant oxidation degree. The EDS data point to considerable increase of the oxygen amount from 7% to at least 20%, increasing with the reaction time and nitronium ion concentration. Theoretically the interaction between nitronium ion and SWCNT was studied by quantum mechanical calculations. In addition to the pristine (P) form of an armchair (5,5) SWCNT, two other species containing Stone-Wales (SW) and mono-vacancy (V1) defects were considered in order to model the distinct defective regions on the carbon nanotube surface. For the P and SW regions, the ether (COC) functional group was predicted as the main product, with an epoxide (CCO) found as a reactive intermediate. The Gibbs free energy barriers were predicted to be 31.7 (P) and 37.8 kcal mol-1 (SW) in aqueous solution at 298.15 K and 1 atm. The mechanism involving the V1 region leads to the carbonyl group (CO) as the main product, which is formed spontaneously upon NO2+ adsorption without energy barrier. A higher energy mechanism was also described for V1 region, passing through a transition state characterized as an oxaziridine-like ring. Through this pathway an alkoxy (CO-) is firstly formed and reacts with the neighbor carbon yielding the ether (COC) functional group. The activation Gibbs free energies were 4.5 and 11.2 kcal mol-1 for the first (CO- formation) and second (COC formation) steps, respectively. The results reported here suggest that at the beginning of oxidation in acid medium, the vacancy regions (V) are firstly oxidized leading to the carbonyl (CO) functional groups, followed by reactions at the topological defective parts (P and SW) of the tube surface where the ether (COC) function is the main product.

Abstract:
L’objectif final de la thèse est l'impression de la couche photo-active ternaire d'une cellule solaire organique en utilisant deux approches: l'une concerne l'apport de nanotubes de carbone (SWCNT) pour améliorer les propriétés de transport, l'autre concerne la préparation de mélanges ternaires de matériaux pour contrôler la couleur des cellules. Les encres pour la couche active incluant des SWCNT fonctionnalisés sont composées d’un donneur d'électron (polymère) (poly(3-hexylthiophène), [P3HT]) et d’un accepteur d'électron ( [6,6]-phényl C61-butyrique ester méthylique d'acide [PCBM]) et ont été développées pour la fabrication de cellules inversées. Ces cellules sont réalisées sur substrats de verre pour l'optimisation de leurs performances, puis sur substrats plastiques pour les applications. Diverses couches d'interfaces ont été testées, qui incluent l'oxyde de zinc (ZnO, couches obtenues par pulvérisation ionique (IBS) ou à partir de solutions de nanoparticules) pour la couche de transport d'électrons et le PEDOT:PSS, le P3MEET, le V2O5 et le MoO3 pour la couche de transport de trous. Des essais ont été effectués avec et sans CNT afin d’étudier leur impact sur les performances. Des résultats similaires sont obtenus dans les deux cas. Il était attendu que les CNT améliorent les performances, ce qui n’a pas été observé pour le moment. Des travaux supplémentaires sont donc nécessaires au niveau de la formulation de la couche active.Avec trois polymères de couleur rouge (P3HT), bleu (B1) et vert (G1), nous avons préparé des mélanges ternaires efficaces permettant l'obtention de couleurs jusque là indisponibles . Nous avons fait une étude sur le piégeage et les mécanismes de diodes parallèles associés aux mélanges. En général, nous avons constaté que les mélanges ternaires de polymères bleu et vert peuvent être décrits par une mécanisme de diodes parallèles, sans entrainer de perte de performances, ce qui n'est pas possible pour les systèmes P3HT:B1 :PCBM et P3HT:G1:PCBM qui se piègent mutuellement. L’objectif final du projet est l'impression de la couche photo-active ternaire d'une cellule solaire organique, composites ternaires (polymère:polymères:acceptor) ou dopés avec les SWCNT. Cette étape nécessite encore des développements futurs
Two approaches were followed to achieve increased control over properties of the photo-active layer (PAL) in solution processed polymer solar cells. This was accomplished by either (1) the addition of functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) to improve the charge transport properties of the device or (2) the realization of dual donor polymer ternary blends to achieve colour-tuned devices.In the first component of the study, P3HT:PC61BM blends were doped with SWCNTs with the ambition to improve the morphology and charge transport within the PAL. The SWCNTs were functionalized with alkyl chains to increase their dispersive properties in solution, increase their interaction with the P3HT polymer matrix, and to disrupt the metallic characteristic of the tubes, which ensures that the incorporated SWCNTs are primarily semi-conducting. P3HT:PCBM:CNT composite films were characterized and prepared for use as the photoactive layer within the inverted solar cell. The CNT doping acts to increase order within the active layer and improve the active layer’s charge transport properties (conductivity) as well as showed some promise to increase the stability of the device. The goal is that improved charge transport will allow high level PSC performance as the active layer thickness and area is increased, which is an important consideration for large-area inkjet printing. The use of ternary blends (two donor polymers with a fullerene acceptor) in bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) photovoltaic devices was investigated as a future means to colour-tune ink-jet printed PSCs. The study involved the blending of two of the three chosen donor polymers [red (P3HT), blue (B1), and green (G1)] with PC61BM. Through EQE measurements, it was shown that even devices with blends exhibiting poor efficiencies, caused by traps, both polymers contributed to the PV effect. However, traps were avoided to create a parallel-like BHJ when two polymers were chosen with suitable physical compatibility (harmonious solid state mixing), and appropriate HOMO-HOMO energy band alignment. The parallel diode model was used to describe the PV circuit of devices with the B1:G1:PC61BM ternary blend

Abstract:
Avec le logiciel AIMPRO, qui fournit une modélisation quantique basée sur la théorie de fonctionnelle de densité, on étudie plusieurs exemples importants de la faiblesse des interactions intermoléculaires dans les nanomatériaux de carbone. Au niveau mécanique quantique, nos calculs donnent une compréhension fiable et améliorée du rôle et de la fonction des interactions intermoléculaires faibles, ce qui ne peut pas être prédit par des méthodes conventionnelles comme les potentiels interatomiques classiques. Premièrement, on étudie l’interaction entre le brome physisorbé sur les nanomatériaux de carbone (graphène, graphite, nanotubes de carbone simple [SWCNT] et double [DWCNT] parois). Pour le graphène, nous trouvons une nouvelle forme de Br2, à notre connaissance jamais présentée dans la littérature, où la molécule se trouve perpendiculaire à la feuille de graphène avec un dipôle fort. La bromation ouvre un gap de petite taille (86 meV) dans la structuré de bande électronique et dope fortement le graphène. Dans le graphite, Br2 reste parallèle aux couches de carbone avec un transfert de charge moins fort et sans dipôle moléculaire. À plus haute concentration, la formation de chaînes de polybromure est thermodynamiquement favorisée, mais n’a pas lieu spontanément à cause d’une barrière d’activation appréciable (27,01 kJ / mol). Avec les nanotubes monoparoi, le Br2 reste perpendiculaire à la surface du tube, comme observé avec le graphène; dans les fagots, le Br2 s'intercale comme dans le graphite. Les spectres Raman sont enregistrés afin de vérifier ce résultat. Dans la deuxième partie, on étudie des interactions d’empilement de type π-π entre le benzène d’une part, les chaînes oligomères de PPV d’autre part, avec des nanomatériaux de carbone. Pour le dimère du benzène, nous avons réussi à reproduire les structures stables trouvées par ailleurs via des calculs de plus haut niveau de théorie ; pour le benzène sur le graphène ou sur les SWCNTs, l'empilement est de type AB comme dans le graphite. L'orientation de l’interaction dans le cas PPV / PPV est différente de celle obtenue dans le cas PPV / nanotube ou PPV / graphène. Dans le premier cas des plans moléculaires sont orthogonaux, semblable à un empilement de PPV ou d'autres hydrocarbures aromatiques polycycliques. Dans les autres cas, l’axe de la chaîne de PPV se trouve parallèle au plan du graphène comme à l’axe des nanotubes, ce qui est attribué à des effets d'empilement π-π. L'analyse des fonctions d’onde près du niveau de Fermi suggère qu’il y a peu de couplage électronique entre PPV et SWCNTs. La différence d’interaction prévue entre PPV et nanotubes semi-conducteurs ou métalliques suggère une nouvelle conception de composites PPV-SWCNT pour les dispositifs électroluminescents organiques
This thesis uses the ab initio density functional modeling programme AIMPRO to study several important examples of weak intermolecular interactions in carbon nanomaterials. At the quantum mechanical level, our calculations give a reliable and improved understanding of the role and feature of weak intermolecular interactions, which cannot be accurately predicted by conventional methods such as classical interatomic potentials. First, the geometry and binding of bromine physisorbed on carbon nanomaterials (graphene, graphite and single walled nanotubes) is studied. In graphene, we find a new Br2 form which is reported for the first time in this thesis, where the molecule sits perpendicular to the graphene sheet with an extremely strong molecular dipole. Bromination opens a small (86- meV) band gap and strongly dopes the graphene. In graphite Br2 is stable parallel to the carbon layers with less charge transfer and no molecular dipole. At higher Br2 concentrations polybromide chain structures are thermodynamically favoured, but will not occur spontaneously due to an appreciable formation barrier (27. 01 kJ/mol). For single walled nanotubes Br2 lies perpendicular to the tube surface similar to graphene, while in bundles Br2 intercalates similar to graphite. Experimental Raman spectra are recorded to verify this result. We next study π-π stacking interactions between benzene and PPV oligomer chains with various carbon nanomaterials. For the benzene dimer we successfully reproduce high level theory stable structures, and for benzene on graphene and SWCNTs, the stacking arrangement matches AB- stacking in graphite. The orientation of the interaction between PPV/PPV is different from PPV/nanotube or PPV/graphene. In the former the molecular planes are orthogonal, similar to the crystal packing in PPV, as well as in other polyaromatic hydrocarbons. In the others the PPV plane lies (axially) parallel to the substrates, attributed to π-π stacking effects. Wavefunction analysis suggests very little electronic coupling between the PPV and SWCNTs near to the Fermi level. Predicted differences in interaction between PPV and semi-conducting or metallic tubes suggest a new route to experimental ultraefficient composite PPV-SWCNT organic light emitting device design

Abstract:
Aerogels are ultraporous solids that have found a number of uses due to their very low density. Recently, aerogels based on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have been fabricated and show significant potential for battery, supercapacitor, sensor, and thermal applications due to the electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties of SWCNTs as well as their capacity for functionalization. In this work we report temperature-dependent (100–300 K) measurements of thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, and Seebeck coefficient for SWCNT aerogels synthesized through a critical point drying technique. Two types of aerogels are considered: an as-grown SWCNT aerogel and one that is coated with multiple graphitic layers (Gr-SWCNT) leading to significantly improved mechanical properties. Thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity were found to be significantly higher for SWCNT aerogels than for other aerogels, even though they have a much smaller density. Gr-SWCNT aerogels were found to have lower thermal conductivities than as-grown samples.

Abstract:
We use molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to explore the lattice thermal transport in freestanding and supported single-wall carbon-nanotube (SWCNT) in comparison to that in graphene nanoribbon (GNR) and graphene sheet. We find the lattice thermal conductivity of freestanding SWCNT and GNR increases with diameter/width and approaches that of graphene. This is partly attributed to the curvature that shortens phonon lifetime in SWCNT. In contrast to GNR, there is only weak chirality dependence in the thermal conductivity of freestanding SWCNT. When SWCNT is put on substrate, an effective boundary along the SWCNT axial direction at the SWCNT-substrate interface is created, rendering resemblance between the phonon transport in supported SWCNT and that in freestanding GNR. As a result, the thermal conductivity of supported SWCNTs differ by around 10%, depending on chirality. The thermal conductivity of SWCNT decreases by about 34–41% when supported, which is less than that of the reduction seen in supported graphene.

Abstract:
With the exceptional mechanical properties, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are considered to be attractive candidate reinforcements for composite materials and to have potential applications in improving the energy absorption capability of matrix material. However, it is still difficult to reveal the micro-mechanisms of the impact energy absorption of CNT-reinforced composites by experiments, hence, the numerical investigation is helpful. In this paper, a unit cell of single-walled CNTs (SWCNTs) embedded in metal matrix is modeled by nano-scale finite element method. Under impact loads, the failure modes of a single SWCNT and the SWCNT in matrix are predicted, respectively, and several possible energy absorption mechanisms are explained and compared. The investigation shows that, the metal matrix restraints the radial expansion of the SWCNT and therefore improves its crush buckling resistance, and makes it absorb more energy before collapse. The specific energy absorption of SWCNTs-reinforce composites increases with the increasing volume fraction of SWCNTs in both matrixes, and ascends more quickly in magnesium alloy than in aluminum alloy matrix.

Abstract:
Abstract Implantable microelectrode arrays are an effective method for understanding neurotransmitter dynamics with high spatial resolution. In particular, carbon-based electrodes are efficient for electrochemical detection of dopamine, a neurotransmitter studied for its role in motor movement and reward-seeking behavior. However, very few options exist for arrayed carbon microelectrodes, specifically on flexible polymeric probes. We demonstrate fabrication of polyimide probes featuring single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) microelectrode arrays and characterize their dopamine detection performance. First, SWCNT synthesis parameters were optimized to grow high density SWCNT “forests” that have uniform height with electrode diameters ranging from 15 μm to 100 μm, as these dimensions are spatially relevant to chemical sensing in an animal model. These SWCNT microelectrodes were then incorporated into a microfabrication process involving deposition and patterning of polyimide substrate and metal traces. The process flow was designed such that the polyimide was not exposed to the high temperatures required to grow SWCNTs. Instead, a bottom-up approach was utilized, in which the SWCNT catalyst was first patterned, the SWCNTs were synthesized on a silicon substrate, then polyimide and trace metal layers were deposited and patterned. Prototype probes were fabricated containing the same range of electrode diameters as those used for SWCNT synthesis development to determine the effect of electrode diameter on ease of microfabrication. Microelectrodes ranging from 15 μm to 50 μm in diameter were found to release from the carrier wafer more easily, while larger electrodes demonstrated poor release. These probes demonstrate a concentration-dependent response to dopamine, with high sensitivity compared to microelectrode arrays consisting of bare metal. Further development of this electrode material will enable neuroscientists to study dopamine at higher spatial resolution, with the benefit of utilizing flexible probes.

Abstract:
We report on measurements of thermal conductivity in single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) aerogels in vacuum, and as infiltrated by different gases. The remarkable thermal, mechanical and electrical properties of single CNTs have led to great interest in bulk carbon nanotube materials, including the CNT aerogels. Carbon nanotube aerogels are light-weight (7–8kg/m3) and porous, which means that heat will be conducted in parallel through the SWCNT matrix and the filling gas. The overall thermal conductivity of the aerogel was measured with helium, and argon filling gases, using a modified 3ω method designed to interrogate low thermal effusivity materials. Measurements of thermal conductivity at vacuum are 0.023 W/m-K and at atmospheric pressure infiltrated SWCNT aerogels have thermal conductivities in helium of 0.19 W/m-K and in argon of 0.039 W/m-K. Our vacuum measurement suggests that transport within the aerogel is limited by the thermal interface resistance between SWCNTs, rather than by phonon transport within the SWCNT itself. We have also extracted the mean distance traveled by gas molecules between collisions with SWCNT aerogel by fitting the gas contribution to thermal conductivity using a kinetic theory based model.

Abstract:
Single-walled Carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have been shown to have excellent conductive properties. SWCNTs were dispersed in a SiC nanoparticle matrix to form a homogeneous mixture that is both mechanically durable and conductive. The SWCNT amount has been varied. SiC/SWCNT mixtures were then doped with various N- and P-type agents, and the resulting samples were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Raman spectra of the samples were also measured for evidence of structural changes. Seebeck coefficients were measured for the doped samples demonstrating the change in thermoelectric properties. Shifts in the G peak (1580.6 cm-1) of the Raman spectra of the samples provides evidence of an increase in charge carrier concentration in the doped samples, correlating well with the Seebeck coefficient results.

We present a label-free detection of swine influenza virus (SIV) H1N1 by means of the excellent electrical properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The electrical resistance of SWCNT resistor tends to increase upon the surface adsorption of macromolecules such as poly-L-lysine, anti-SIV antibodies, and SIVs in the process of immunoassay. The SWCNT network resistor was successfully able to detect as low as 180 TCID50/ml of SIV using the resistance shifts upon immunobinding of SIVs. The sensor specificity was demonstrated against transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) and feline calicivirus (FCV). This facile CNT-based immnoassay has potential applications as a rapid point-of-care detection or a sensing platform for lab-on-a-chip systems.

Abstract:
Thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of CNT-nanofluids and Al2O3-nanofulids were measured by the transient short-hot-wire method. The uncertainty of their measurements is estimated to be within 1% for the thermal conductivity and 5% for the thermal diffusivity. Three different shapes of Al2O3 particles were prepared for Al2O3–water nanofluids. For the thermal conductivity of Al2O3-water nanofluids, there are differences in the enhancement of thermal conductivity for differences in particle shapes. Hardly any enhancement of thermal conductivity was observed for SWCNT-water nanofluids because the volume fraction of SWCNT was extremely low. However, we consider by increasing the volume fraction of SWCNTs, it will be possible to enhance the thermal conductivity.
