Charge Transfer at Carbon Nanotubes with Encapsulated C_(60)/C_(70) (Peapods)

摘要

Charger-transfer on fullerene peapods (C_(60)@SWCNT~1 and C_(70)@SWCNT) was studied by electrochemistry in 0.2 M LiClO_4+acetonitrile.This strategy allows easy and precise control of the population of electronic states between about +-1.5 eV vs.the Fermi level.As both the individual components of peapods,i.e.SWCNT and C_(60)/C_(70),show specific redox response,there is a clear challenge of addressing fundamental problems of charge transfer in nanocarbons.
